[Cancelled] GC7A5H8 First cache by Country

Hi all

Could somebody please create a checker for me?

The Challenge is: First cache by country, 4 unique types.

It does not matter how many countries you've cached in, or how many caches you've found in them.

I have asked sloth96 to have a look at this request because one of his script might be suiteble when modified

Thank you. That was Nice of you.

Im trying to understand hiw this fits with oldest in n countries. Can you please provide some examples of what qualifies or your qualifications?

My interpretation is it has to be the oldest in a country and there have to be 4 different types of these. Or do you mean the oldest of each type in a country? Do countries have to be unique or not?

Most countries the oldest cache is a traditional so this could be a tough challenge.

Thanks.

Hi

Yes, I'll explain. It's when you go abroad and find your first geocache in a new country. It is that first find in the new country that counts. Project-gc provides that stastic under "Milestones" see picture.

It does not matter when the geocache was published. I hope I have made things more clear.

Have you checked with a reviewer on that? It would create an incentive to not find caches of a certain type when you first enter a country.

No I haven't. Never Saw it like that because it is only the first cache in that country. The Challenge allows any and all finds in every country in my mind. Only to be specific about your first find. But I'll check of course and post the reply.

The way the challenge is set up a reviewer will have difficulties with this. It precludes people from finding caches at there own pace. You are forcing people to have, as there first find in a country, a different type. This is seen as negative caching which is not acceptable under the new listing guidelines

In that case I'm sorry that I have troubled you for nothing.

No checker needed then.
