@5square. I have both badges showing in the retired catagory

juggalo

So this badge is retired now and can't be unlocked anymore?

Tymora

@juggalo that is correct. That's why it is in the retired badge catagory.

I did a lot of testing with this badge and still have yet to know for sure what makes a "legit" Douchebag venue. There are rumors all over the internet that the tag is "reserved" and only 4sq (and possibly super users) may use it but I have yet to confirm that. In the mean time I know from experience that all things tagged douchebag/douchbags do not unlock this badge and not all the venues listed have a visible tag, yet they still unlock the badge. All of the venues above have been personally tested and all have been used to pop the badge. If you find one not on the list feel free to share! Congrats to all those who have gotten the badge and happy hunting to those who haven't!

RainWave23

Great work! Your extensive work on this badge is greatly appreciated. You're the douchebag expert! Not sure I'd admit that in public though :-P

Tymora

You can't be bartender without being an expert on douchebags

RainWave23

Hahahahaha!

ironpatriot

i was wondering if you could tell me when check in someplace how long am i supose to wait till i check in the next venue by the way im using mobile website i need working on this badge ive been waiting 15 or more to check in beetween venues help please!

RainWave23

@ironpatriot if you're checking into venues in the same city you don't have to wait but you are limited to 3 check-ins every 15 minutes. So check in to three venues, wait 15 minutes after the 3rd check-in and you can start checking in again.

If you're going between different cities, you have to wait the amount of time it would take you to travel there. This has been explained many times over on this forum in various discussions. If you don't know how long that is, us this website: travelmath.com. If you select which cities you're traveling between then select flight time it'll give you how much time you need to wait.

So it'll take a little work on your part to map out how you want to do it, but it's pretty straight forward. All of the info is there for you.

ironpatriot

im following the list up there^

RainWave23

Yes so given what I told you and the venue list above, the badge should be pretty easy and straight forward for you. I think expecting someone to give you an itinerary of every venue and exact wait times between each venue is a little unreasonable. All of the information is there for you and has worked for countless others. It will require some work on your part but really we've done all of the hard parts for you already. Good luck!

The only one I found in my area is in Sacramento, CA:

https://foursquare.com/venue/315565

Tymora

@loyd316 lol! I am the queen of the soap box at Badlands! I posted the pic of the packed dance floor! Did u pop the badge there? If not I'll test it

Tymora

Testing complete. Venue 315565 does not count for the badge

kevinjames

Well they are making it tough. You can no longer search for the keyword Douchebags as a tag on either the website or phone. I FINALLY unlocked the badge yesterday but it took MUCH more than 20 checkins at locations tagged as douchbags

Tymora

@kevinjames Yes. It takes 25 and the visible tag has nothing to do with whether or not it counts toward the badge.
You can search for it on the desktop version but you'll have better luck using "tips" instead of tags because people will sometimes leave a tip that they got the badge at a venue. Thats how I found a lot of the ones on our list.

jw2482

does this have to be all diff venues or can it be 25 of the same?

JR1

@jw2482 I have never heard of anyone that has unlocked the badge at just one venue.

The hardest part with this badge is that the "douchebags" tag is a hidden tag that only SU's can add and remove (reportedly), and not just any venue that some random person tagged "douchebags" will work.

Tymora

@jw2482 I have tried doing 23 different venues and 2 repeat visits...it didn't work so unless the same venue 25 times works (and in that case would most likely have to be over 25 days), then it must be 25 different venues. maybe someday I will have the patients to test it over 25 but until then...

jesse2988

do you have to check into one venue a day or does it not matter?

Tymora

@jesse2988 You can do them all in one day but please note that you have to wait proper "travel time" between cities

Bman

I have checked in I think 40 different venues and nothing yet. All are from this list plus a few others I have found here ad there.

Tymora

@Bman make sure you're allowing proper travel time between cities and that you are getting points for each check in. You can only check in 3 times in 15 min and 30 in a 24 hour period. Beyond that you will be considered "rapid fire". You will get no points for these cjeckins and they will not count for the badge

Ssst

Im going to start trying the checkins after 9pm. If it works, I will let you all know.

Tymora

@Ssst time is not a factor. The badge has been unlocked at all hours of the day and night

Dagonius

Have done the NYC set twice (32x) but no badge. Dit get points for each checkin! Did something change? Does it have to be 25 differnt venues?

Beerknurd

@Dagonius Yes, they need to be different venues. Allow travel time and do the Florida venues. You should get the badge there.

Howdy, Stranger!
