Requesting a checker for GCAQ29V
Hi again. Could I please get a checker built for GCAQ29V next? It requires cachers to find a cache on all 365 days of the year in the same municipality/county. Again the finds do not have to be sequential in any way so a consecutive day streak is not required for this challenge.
I've found a pre-existing similar challenge already https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC954GD/57991 which my checker could possibly be cloned from. However I'm not sure how that challenge handles Feb 29 and I would like Leap Day to be an optional, not mandatory day in my challenge. All the other 365 days must be filled for my challenge.
Is it safe to assume the checker is based on posted coordinates? only? I'm just wondering how/if it could handle mysteries or multis where the posted coordinates are in one county and the final is in a different one. I realize that's probably a rarity but I just wanted to make sure I knew how the checker would deal with them.
Could it also be confirmed that the checker can handle all municipalities and counties across all countries in the world? I just want to make sure there's no surprises later.
All cache types, except for benchmarks, adventure labs, and locationless caches, can be used for my challenge.
I also noticed if you fail the challenge, it shows you the grid for your "closest to finish" municipality/county. Is there any way to show multiple closest to finishing grids (perhaps at least 2)? I just tested one profile and it shows their "old' municipality (where they no longer live) so they have no idea which days they need for the current location.
Here's the same verbiage from my other recent checker request that should also apply for this one -
As well, your own caches can not be used in this challenge. In the past you were able to log your own caches.
And in the past, it was also possible to log the same cache multiple times. Those caches can only be used once for my challenge, only on the first day it was found.
Hopefully that covers everything. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns or if there are any other potential problems out there that I've missed for this challenge.
Thank you again. :-)
