Kilo Lingo

The trophy road

How many kilos have you got?

The site is called Kilo Lingo, and 1,000 XP is a kilo. Every trophy on the road is visible from your first day - the locked ones are not secrets, they are a picture of where honest daily practice goes. XP only ever climbs, and so does the road: nothing here is bought, spent or lost.

XP only banks on an account. Create a free one and First Marks is about ten minutes away.

Badges

Trophies measure how much; badges measure what kinds of thing. Locked ones show their deed - a badge is a promise the same way a locked trophy is.
