Finding better titles for achievements

[westnordost]

Feel free to contribute. Some current achievement names are quite boring, don't fit the picture and/or difficult to translate.

Additionally, some people may have a problem with the generic masculine used currenlty for some achievement titles. This has no priority, but if a title is found that is better in other ways as well, it could be replaced too.

Instead of “Postman”, how about “postie”?

It's used colloquially, is gender neutral, and kinda cute and fun.

Given that the name of the achievement needs not be related to vocation (e.g. "Treasure hunt" which is not about treasure hunters at all, or "Runner" which I at least never accomplished while running), but is welcomed to be a play of words or humorous:

I'd go with "Going postal" -- it can be a reference to Terry Pratchett's excellent book/movie Going Postal, or doubling as dark humor reference to idiom "going postal"; at reader's choice.

(of course, there should be instructions for translators to have a wider freedom in choosing something appropriate related to postboxes, addresses, street names and a like)

(also has a benefit of avoiding gender-related issues as noted on POeditor and SC issues before, while not sounding strained and/or dull)

Or, on the slightly ironic side (but more easily translatable), "Return to sender" ?

[mnalis]

or "Street smarts" (given that much of the most useful data collected are addresses), and it helps you navigate (the life and the streets)?

How about "scout" or "trailblazer' instead of "outdoors"

[mnalis]

Perhaps "Scout's honour" as a slight play of words?

I love it!

Instead of "mobility":

• The wheel deal
• Ramping up

Instead of "Kind to animals":

• Animal friend
• Animal Friendship (if you want a d&d reference)
• Plant powered
