Badges Guide
Game Hunter:
That's a good point, actually. The plan for the next version was to remove repetitive information and just refer readers to the section that properly covers it, but this would likely allow for a much smoother read-through. (It'll probably also make adding the new badge series more manageable as well.)
Thanks for the input!
EDIT: Note that the odd thing with this method is that there are some badges that don't appear until they're at Gold, and some fade out before reaching Diamond. This is probably why it hadn't occurred to me in the first place, but even then it's a much better option to go by series.
EDIT2: New version's up! This includes the new series, as well as plenty of new tricks and tips, and finally a far more readable format. A must-have edition, so download it if you've already gotten an old one (or if you don't, download it because I said please).

Notes:
7.5. changed a little due to async
8.1. does the last paragraph still hold?
8.1.-8.3. here (or anywhere else with a YAAM req a note should be made on the Full Win problem with 100%)
8.3. does this one take AM in CC into account?
11.1 Lavawalking UC doesn't work anymore, also it doesn't seem to take the HA and LP bosses into account
14.5. might be more doable thanks to assemblies
17.2./17.3. remove repetitious descriptions like these, and just send back the reader to the easier badge
23.1. I love the Objectives part :D
23.2. A Cybie-only level *CAN* spawn
29. aren't those changed already in 0.9.9.2?
31. same here?
And a great job indeed with the guide!

While I'm at it, I should probably scour the guide for every badge instance where dying to JC won't net you the badge. Good to note both things, though, thanks.

That's a good point, CC/AM on UV is really hard. Or at least, harder than both special levels on UV.

Fixed UC and HA descriptions, but LE is mentioned in the Lava badges (which require you to clear the level) so I think there's enough implication that it has to be destroyed.

I guess I didn't see the redundancies in these badges (you were talking about Eagerness Silver/Gold?) but I will be sure to read through it more carefully next time. I just wanted to get 2.0 OUT, since I had been writing it on-and-off for about a month, but revisions should come quicker.

I haven't actually seen single-monster type levels yet. Maybe a bug, maybe they're just really improbable. I'll add it, but I still need to see it myself.

Reaper requirements haven't changed, as far as I know. I'm pretty sure added mentions on the new stuff for Scavenger (although it should probably be more properly integrated), but again, the requirements themselves shouldn't be any different (or even in the latest released beta).
The rest has been taken care of, thanks for the input. And I guess you get to go in the acknowledgments now! :P
Rabiat:
It must've taken you quite a bit of time to reorganize the guide like that, Game Hunter. It's a much smoother read now, and it seems easier to actually remember all the advice in there. Very much appreciated!
AStranger:
Looking good. I caught two minor typos:
The masochist series is 22.x but the diamond is numbered 8.14 instead of 22.5
31.5. Scavenger Diamond objectives references the BFG despite not being able to use it.
