Omega Tyrant: You definitely now still earn badges/medals from dying to Carmack, made other updates for 0.9.9.8. Also, editors should not be putting their signatures on main pages.

+*A '''full victory''' requires you to nuke Dis and survive it by means of [[invulnerability]]. Then, descend into the [[Hell Fortress]] and encounter the true evil there. As it stands, there are two technical ways to finish a game via while in the Hell Fortress:
-** If you die to the true evil or its minions, you are granted a standard victory but gain no badges or medals that require you to complete the game. (example: UAC badge series, Sunrise Iron Fist)
+** If you die to the true evil or its minions, or you nuke it and die along with it, you are granted a partial victory and will still obtain any badges/medals that require any sort of victory, but will not earn any that require a full victory.
-** If you nuke the true evil and die along with it, you are granted a full victory instead, but still will not gain badges or medals that require you to complete the game.
+** If you kill the true evil by conventional means, or by nuking and surviving the explosion, you are granted a full victory along with any badges and medals that require it.
-** If you kill the true evil by conventional means, or by nuking and surviving the explosion, you are granted the full victory along with any badges and medals you would expect to get.
-Winning the [[Angel of 100]] challenge produces a special message, but always counts as a standard victory.
+Winning the [[Angel of 100]] and [[Archangel of 666]] challenges has different ending text, but normally just count as a standard victory. However, if you fulfill the secret conditions to encounter the [[Apostle]] on the final floor and manage to exit the final floor alive after killing it, you'll be given another different ending text and be awarded a full victory.
