The Brag Board

So, I do dog agility with one of my labs. (Tangent, if you don’t know what dog agility is, google for videos. There’s a ton and it’s loads of fun!). At some trials, we have a Brag Board. A place where we can put our achievements from the trial, big and small, and then all the competitors can help you celebrate. Not so much “bragging” as celebrating really, but that’s what we call it. It didn’t occur to me we could do that here until @Ginnungagap suggested something similar. So consider this your Brag Board. Let’s celebrate reaching achievements, prestiging, and completing gold frames! Here’s my first finished gold frame from this Thursday.
I know others have similar frames, so put ‘em up!

I generally stay away from posts like this, but since this is the purpose of this thread, I figure it's fine for me to participate as well. Here is where I'm at so far. Unfortunately I'm not sure how to make the images show up side by side.
Crikey. That’ll take me ages! Awesome work! @Dogoutlaw & @Ginnungagap
Oh wow @Ginnungagap that’s awesome!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I still have a few umbrellas and a bunch of dirigible plums to get to finish those two frames. Totally impressed. The others I either just prestiged to gold, or am in the thick of it. Can’t believe you’ve found all those memos, boggart cabinets, and monster book of monsters!😳
And yeah, this isn’t about ego or literal bragging. We all started at the beginning, so we know how exciting it is to reach milestones, even small ones like placing your first magicke moste evil. Hopefully everyone can keep in the spirit of why I started this thread.
Lol this forum are my post! Apparently it didn't like me trying to fix a grammatical mistake. Second time I have hit edit and then have my post deleted saying it couldn't find the discussion... Again I lament not knowing how to make the images show side by side.
Lol! Don’t worry about grammatical errors, if it’s close enough, most people can figure it out. Better than trying to fix and having that happen! It’s happened to others as well.
@Dogoutlaw great thread and congratulations on completing that gold dark arts frame.
@Ginnungagap Wow, you’ve been busy. That’s awesome. Congratulations on completing the many gold frames!👏 😊
For a moment when I didn’t see your post, I was afraid the calamity may have started causing posts to disappear as well. Glad that’s not the case. I don’t know how I would have responded to finding people’s posts on the map as counfoundables to return. 😂
Congrats, everyone! I've knocked out four, so far. I'm pretty close on a couple others though. Pretty much the same ones as @Ginnungagap, but I need a few more memos for the Ministry Atrium page and a couple Monster Books for the Pumpkin Patch page.
I've only managed to prestige one of the more difficult exploration family pages to bronze (Hogwarts Quidditch Pitch), but I'm close to having all the images placed on a few more of those, too.
Waited a long while to pull this off... wasn't sure it was possible until I did it. Wrackspurts for the win!
@Acumen well done!! I’m still 9 quidditch stands away on that one you showed, it will probably be a while yet before I get one of those type prestiged. Awesome job getting one done!
Yay @ZookiTabooki ! I love it when the portkeys come through on those. That’s how I prestiged DADA classroom to gold... got a boggart cabinet in two of them! Score!
...........you guys are scary. And I thought I was playing a lot 🤣
*nervous laugh*
@JulieJubz there's no benefit. Those pages are basically dead to me. I haven't had "story line" quests in months. Soon I will cap out on my profession. Gaps in balance in the game have gotten more pronounced. *Shrugs* I'm just a completionist and have a tendency to plow through in the most optimised fashion I can come up with.
@Ginnungagap I really imagined a noir scene with you looking out the window while it rains, saying "Those pages are dead to me" 🤣
Yes! I decided to do a run prior to the event starting today. Got my first Knight Bus and Quidditch Through the Ages Book. These were the only two foundables I had yet to run into, short of a pair of dragons under Oddities. And to top it off, got a pair of McGonagall's and spell books to boot. What a day. And now for the event. Woot!
Awesome @ZookiTabooki ! *High five*
@ZookiTabooki those are sooo hard to come by!
@JulieJubz no doubt, and to come back to back was a thrill, couldn't stop smiling. Knight Bus has usurped Fawkes as my favourite of the moment. Fawkes is slowly trying to work his way back into my good graces though I'd say he's got some work to do yet. @Dogoutlaw 🖐️
@ZookiTabooki Congratulations! 😊
@ZookiTabooki congrats
@JulieJubz *breaks out the bowler hat*
@Ginnungagap this might be the wrong... actually, no, this might be the best place to ask, haha! Where did you get this, if you don't mind me asking! I've never seen it before!! 😱
Is that from the fan fest event?!😱
I just checked Overflow's ID, and he has it too! I bet it's from fan fest. Gosh, I really wanna go to the next one!!
@Dogoutlaw saaaaame. Also because I totally want hat badge haha!
@JulieJubz LOL, give me ALL the things! I'm seriously so jelly of everyone who was able to attend the first one. For so many reasons.
@Dogoutlaw saaaaaaaaaaaaame.
I will say though, as a foreigner having to travel into these events, I kind of wish that we could attend all days instead of just one. I couldn't picture myself flying in only for a single day. Even if there's more stuff I could do around town, it's still mostly a waste spending that much to get there. I really hope they consider expanding a bit and letting people attend multiple days.
@JulieJubz Yes it's from fanfest. we met up and played with people the second day. If you go early/leave late you will have others to play with who did as well.
@JulieJubz that's a good point, although I suppose I would just hope the event is in a cool location. Like say it was in London, I'm more than up for that, I wouldn't be going just for the fan fest event. But I guess it really does depend where the event was.
@Dogoutlaw you know what's cool in London?
But I came to post this:
I've been hunting my last bow for weeks. I kept getting eggs or nothing. I finally started just focusing on oddities to get more stones.
Also, this is off topic but I need to post this brag somewhere. This was an email I got from a mentor yesterday after he did mock interviews with our seniors,
"All the students that I talked to said that you were their favorite teacher! Tristan , in particular, said that his Mom made him take CS, but your enthusiasm For the subject made him love CS and decide to make a career of it!"
@Osprey1 - well done on getting last centaur bow
i am at 8/20 for centaur bows on oddities registry page 1 and 5/20 for horned serpent eggs on oddities registry page 2, so i hope to make some significant progress this month with the increased frequency of oddity encounters helping grinding for oddity runestones
@Ginnungagap you can really go off people ya know!!? 😂😂😂 posting all those gold frames not once but twice!!!
I don't even think ive anything at all like the amazing stuff on this thread to brag about!! 😭
I feel so inferior now & ive spat my dummy out & im going to sulk in the corner!! I hope you're all suitably satisfied with yourselves!!
Lol 😂 kidding- il hav a look see if i can find at least one thing thats good! Rofl! Oh dear- I'm not right good at games- but im tryin & lovin it- that's what counts 😊
Congrats you guys on those awesome gold frames, stickers & achievements!! Gives me goals to aim for- if there's one thing that's certain to make me get a shuffle on - it's a sense of friendly competition!!
