Second Coming

Ever since I started using the badge tracking spreadsheet (a few months ago) I've had one more badge on my character than the spreadsheet shows I should have. I figured this was a data entry mistake and I'd figure it out in time. This morning I finally discovered that there's a badge on my character that isn't on the spreadsheet. The badge is called "Happy New Year!" and its text simply reads "Happy New Year!" also. It's an Event badge, listed last in that category. One might think I earned this badge today (given the timing) but I've had this off-by-one issue for months, there's no completion time recorded on badge hover, and it's not listed in my recently completed badges. So I think I've had this badge for a long time and just didn't notice. I'm attaching a screenshot. Edit: One other strange thing about this badge is that it only shows up in my "Badges" tab in the nav bar, not in the "Badges" tab under "Options -> Personal Info". The latter is how I seeded the spreadsheet so that explains how I missed it initially. Edit2: Ok, nevermind. I see this on a non-badger character too, and I can confirm by eye that it doesn't affect badge totals. It must be a temporary badge for today. Now I'm back to wondering what badge I have that's not recorded in the spreadsheet... Edit3: OK, found the difference - I have the Pursuer/Elusive badge, from logging in during November. I didn't notice it awarding at the time and didn't think I had any badges from that section. Yay, I feel closure 🙂

Is there any way to have the mission contact change between missions? Or have the next mission "chain" without having to talk to the contact?

This didn't work for me; there wasn't a correlation between delivery/mis-delivery and romance/jealousy. For example, mis-delivering the note from Desdemona to Johnny Sonata awarded arrows of romance.

Earning this badge was amazing.
