Re: Checker request for publication GCA5J64

Hello,

I will need a checker for GCA5J64.
Conditions are the following
Be FTF 3 days in a raw with :
- One day with at least 3 FTF done
- A different day with at least 2 FTF done
- A different day with at least 1 FTF done

Order doesn't matter, as soon as the day are consecutive: (1 FTF could de done Day1, 3 FTF Day2 and 2 FTF Day 3) is fine

Second condition to validate the challenge:
FTF's should be done in at least 2 Different country or with 2 differents type of caches (E.g 5 tradi + 1 Mystery is fine)

I hope it will not be to complicated to do the checker. Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have some questions.

Best regards

Unfortunately, this challenge is not publishable under the current Challenge Cache Guidelines:

Quote
Challenge Cache Guidelines - Section 14: Positive Challenge Criteria

NOT ACCEPTABLE
Competition rather than achievement. Examples: challenges based on "First to Finds" or lonely caches are competitions.

Hi Hügh,

Oops, I totally missed that part. Thank you for the link,
I could replace FTF by "found on the day of publication" it will not be a competitions anymore.

Found caches on the day of publication 3 days in a raw with :
- One day with at least 3 found on the day of publication
- A different day with at least 2 found on the day of publication
- A different day with at least 1 found on the day of publication

Order doesn't matter, as soon as the day are consecutive: (1 could de found Day1, 3 Day2 and 2 FTF Day 3) is fine

Second condition to validate the challenge:
Found should be done in at least 2 Different country or with 2 differents type of caches (E.g 5 tradi + 1 Mystery is fine)

Will it be better like this ?

Best regards

You're still in violation of the guidelines.

Quote
Challenge Cache Guidelines - Section 9: Time-Limited

NOT ACCEPTABLE
Specifying any element of a cache page (type, rating, etc.) or find count (above one per day) required during a streak.

In general, you cannot place any restriction on streaks.

Thanks again :)
Another try maybe :

Found caches on the day of publication 3 days in a raw
Second condition to validate the challenge:
Found should be done in at least 2 Different country or with 2 differents type of caches.

This:

Quote

Found caches on the day of publication 3 days in a raw

is still "specifying an element of the cache page."

In any case, "found caches on the day of publication" likely violates some combination of:

Quote
Challenge Cache Guidelines - Section 9: Time-Limited

NOT ACCEPTABLE
Time-limited caching: as in some number of finds per day, week, month, or year. Examples: Busy Day, 50 finds in a day, 500 finds in a month, etc.

(you're forcing people to find caches on the exact date of publication - if they miss it it's gone!)

Quote
Challenge Cache Guidelines - Section 10: Source of Criteria

NOT ACCEPTABLE
Restricting finds to caches published prior to a particular date.

(again, you're forcing people to find caches on the exact date of publication)

That's the idea of a streak, if you miss it, it's gone !

Quote
Challenge Cache Guidelines - Section 9: Time-Limited
Acceptable: Maintaining a finds streak, at least one find per day, up to 365 days

Here we are just talking about a streak finally, so from the streak point of view it is totally fine.

I am not planning to force anybody, I just want to challenge them :)

A streak of 3 days without condition will be D1
A streak of 3 day on the publication date will be D5, that was "our" idea of the challenge

Ok so as the publication date is an element of the cache page it will not work :(
Thanks a lot for your time, and for the explanations.
Do not hesitate to tell me if you have a "working" option, otherwise I think the subject could be archived.
