Badge for users who post a significant number of highest voted answers without being accepted

I would like to suggest a new badge that will offer some consolation to users who have many upvoted answers on questions that never get accepted.

The criteria should be

  1. Have x answers where your answer has the highest score (must be at least a +1),
  2. The question must not have an accepted answer and remain unaccepted for a period of time after the answer was posted.

The idea behind this would be to encourage people to continue to answer questions even though they they participate in questions that often do not get accepted answered, as well as offer a consolation prize to users who happen to answer questions that do not get accepted.

I would also suggest the badge name be "Unappreciated" because the efforts of the user are not being appreciated by the original question asker.
