[Resolved] GC7XZMB 5 x Confluence caches
September 19, 2018 11:06AM
Hi,
Could someone supply a checker to indicates that player has found 5 caches at confluence points ie: 59 00.000 13 00.000 or any of the other 1000's of combinations.
If player owns one confluence cache this can count as one of the 5 logs.
Thanks

I'm sorry but the challenge is not allowed under the current guidelines

Please read https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=127&pgid=206

Not acceptable

Challenges based on geographic areas other than countries, states/provinces, counties (or their local equivalent). For example, user-defined mapping polygons, latitude/longitude, radius, etc.

Strange, the whole game is about latitude and longitude!
Ok you can scrap this one then
Thanks anyway

In my opinion the quoted rule refers to areas defined with longitude and latitude, but I haven't managed to get a ruling from the resident (forum) reviewer about that. It could be debated that confluence points are simply very small areas, but I suppose we'll never know.

At the start of the new guidelines I had a challenge like this refused by a reviewer in the States that's why I gave a negative advice.

Yes, but it seems that some reviewers allow certain challenges and other reviewers don't. Take the oldest cache debate we've had here fairly recently. Seems the guidelines can be read/understood/interpreted differently. But yes, if the reviewer declined there's nothing we can do.

Actually, I want to continue with this so please supply a checker.
I will try to get it published and discuss with the reviewer.

The whole idea of the new guidelines was to get rid of challenges that were too complicated, ambiguous etc, caches which caused arguments etc.

This challenge leaves no room for error, it is as black and white as the chess board. Simply caches with lots of zeros.

Checker for you:

https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7XZMB/37364

Please test and let us know if it's suitable. If they decline, please let me know so I can cancel it.

Ask your local reviewer if he would allow such a challenge but in any case you do not qualify your own challenge yet

Thanks Pieterix and vogelbird,
I thought I had done more confluence caches but it looks like I have to do some work first, there's a few near me so I'll get them soon. I'll get back to you.

Hello again,
Can I change the checker to finding 3 confluence caches with at least one of them being in a another country?
Thanks

I've changed it to 3 finds in minimum 2 countries. Will that do?

Don't forget you have to prove to your local reviewer that there are sufficient cachers in your local area who qualify for your challenge.
