8-26-2021 Changes to NT Achievements
In the new achievement system we replaced the old achievement for being elected NT coach with a new one. The new achievement required coaches not only to be elected in order to gain the achievement, but also to be reelected. This was to discourage achievement hunters from becoming NT coaches for the wrong reasons and instead force them to do good work for the community to increase their chances of getting elected again. After receiving a lot of feedback from the community, we realized that the better solution is to drop this kind of achievement altogether. The new achievement, "The Nation Stands Behind You," (which no one has been awarded yet) will disappear.
The achievement given for NT success, "National Treasure Hunter," will also change. This achievement will continue to exist, but it will have a value of 0 points in the achievement score. Put another way, we are removing NT achievements from the achievement "competition" system, to ensure healthy motivations for everyone involved in the NTs.
Of course managers that have done well for NTs in the past will still want to show this off, so we re-created the "National Treasure Hunter" achievement for previous seasons, which means this achievement is available to all managers that reached at least the semifinals in the past.
