Re: RallyPoint mechanics: How does the "Trail Blazer" accomplishment work?

2018-09-14T20:17:11-04:00

Just curious about how specifically this "knowledge accomplishment" works. The hot text says that you earn it "for being the first to respond to a new question." I've done that at least once, but don't see that accomplishment. Is there a delay? Or does it only apply to certain types of questions? Sorry for the trivial question; I'm new here, and still finding my way around the site and figuring out the features and such. Thank you!

Should be any question that comes up under the answer tab. If you're the first to respond, you get the trailblazer award and points. Sometimes when you first respond, it seems as though no one else has, then when you submit, you see the other response who made it before you.

It usually tells me when I was first.

CAPT Michael Toleno: Sometimes the same thing happens to me; and sometimes it doesn't. Just keep trying. It'll happen for you....I have been a Trail Blazer many times.

CAPT Michael Toleno Sir, If you click on "Resources" above, and then "Support" on the drop down menu, you will find useful topics that explain the mechanics of RallyPoint.

CAPT Michael Toleno The first to register a response receives a Trail Blazer award.

Several RP posters, after posting their post, in a subsequent post will enter other RP members names as addressees. They thereby receive the Trail Blazer award for their post - and denying anyone else a Trail Blazer award for a response to that post.

It happened again. At the moment, I am the first and only responder to a question and have not received any notification. i know it's not a big deal, but seeing this mechanic not work as advertised is a bit perplexing.
