Re: Checker Request for GC5P8H0

Hello, challenge cache is back, time to make more!

I would like to have a checker for this:
1. Country: Hong Kong
2. Found top 25 favourite cache
3. Excluding archived cache.
4. Owned as found

Thanks in advance.

Please find the checker http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC5P8H0/20724

Thanks for the checker, but I find a little problem.

Please try to execute the script with these 2 cachers and check the row at #12
a. wanrex
12 GC4CVYV 35 2013-05-31 Hotel Oi - International TB Exchange
--> This cache had been archived, so I expect this one won't show in the list

b. CX15
12 GC15VEH 31 2013-08-20 I Love Hong Kong


Just wonder, the list for different cachers are different?
Thanks in advance.

Can you update your results by using the self support under the support button.
It could be that your last log on this Cache is causing the problem.

Great, i don't know there is "Self-support" function before that post, it works now.
Thanks for much

Why exclude archived finds? Any reason that if a caches get archivet you get from ok to not ok on the challenge?
It in not against the guidelines and annoying it a cache get archived and dissapairs from the list.


A personal opinion that I have and created challenges for is that %FP and Wilson score for a cache is a better measurement for how good a cache is and as easy tro create an challenge on

I checked the new requirement on Challenge cache, you can't request cacher to find an "archived" cache.
And I guess it is reasonable to "exclude" archived cache, then new cacher can also have chance to complete the challenge, reasonable?

That it not how the checker or the rule works

The rule is "10 Requiring cachers to log caches that are disabled or archived."
No one thinks about archived if it is a challenge to have 1000 found logs but they will be included in that list. Your find count on gc.com includes them

The checker looks att the top FP list and and include all active caches and alos add archived you have found. You dont have to find new archived caches but old find are included

oh, i get what you mean.
Then really no need to "exclude archived", then it will be easier and cacher friendly i guess.
So, can you help to remove the ""excludeArchived": true,"?

Thanks.

Is it changed

Yes, updated, thx

If you include archived finds , new cachers cannot fullfill the challenge
