Living Dead achievement - in poor taste?

[grid]

So, I have a friend who had not logged into BGA for quite a while (at least 6 months, maybe more), and ALSO had his mother pass away around the time he stopped playing. I had not connected those two things, but finally convinced him to join us for board game night once again. He logged into BGA, and was given this achievement. Turns out he had been playing a lot of BGA with his mother before she passed, and this was an unwelcome reminder of that fact.

I'm not sure this achievement is needed. (Also, wouldn't in incentivize NOT playing BGA for some length of time, if folks are trying to be achievement completionists?!?)

You can't please everyone or shield people from their loss. When I lost my mother, this sort of thing happened too, but I was able to grow and laugh along with it. This kind of thing ultimately helped me move on and grow, whereas being shielded would only have prolonged the pain. Best wishes to your friend, but know that this sort of thing will only help him get stronger.

maybe the condition of living dead should be easier, like 3 months ?
How to see ALL achievements btw

I don't really see the need for this to be an achievement either. Nothing is being achieved, other than not logging in for a while. This could just as well be a "welcome back" type of pop-up or notification.

The name could also have been chosen better. It sounds kind of negative, even disregarding the unfortunate coincidence of a loved one passing away. There are plenty of ways to put a more positive spin on it:

• Return of the King
• Just When I Thought I Was Out
• Never Gonna Give You Up
• Honey, I'm Home
• Back for More
• ...

[*]Just When I Thought I Was Out
[*]Never Gonna Give You Up

My two favorites.

Indeed some of achievements are poorly named. I remember an achievement once named as 'Killing Spree'.

I'm quite partial to "Just When I Thought I Was Out" myself (I think it captures the situation pretty well), so I've submitted a change request for it: https://boardgamearena.com/translation? ... iving Dead

Normally this isn't the "correct" way of doing it, but the other achievement was also renamed in this fashion: https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewto ... =3&t=18709

The obvious choice is the Rick roll: Never Gonna Give You Up.
Ideally with the music playing.
