No, not at all. Just make an account, register for the team, and you're set :D

As a rookie, can you show me how to?

There is a tutorial on the website itself, all you have to do is register and run the program. It's really basic.

If you are running on computers that you own, no. You can just do it (ofc, you own your stuff!).

 

If using someone else's PC (say, your school's, your employer's, your dad's....), then you DO need permission from then. Otherwise, they could (if they were really jerks about it) bring you to court, requesting refunds on the electrical bills. There have been reports of it happening before; and the guy that folds without permission ALWAYS loses.

Once the requirement IS met, just PM one of the mods *cough Whaler_99 *cough with your ID and a request for the badge, and they'll be happy to deliver it.

Alright, but do you have the requirement list for all the medal?
