Re: 2 New Checker requests

GC5B7K0-
In the course of ONE WEEK (1-7 DAYS), you must find caches that begin with each letter in your cache name (numbers & punctuation included -- hey, they're in your name too). You may NOT use the same cache twice if you have repeated letters in your name. You MUST find the same number of unique caches as there are characters in your name. All previous finds count.

To complete this challenge you will need to find a cache to spell out GEOCACHE using the first letter of the different cities in which you have found a cache.

GC5B7K0-
If I am not mistaken a script extension has to be written for this challenge. But don't hold your breath because scriptwriters might not spend time on this because a challenge like this is not allowed anymore under the current guidelines.

It is not possible to make a checker because the system has not access to city names in the US

Looking at this challenge, the US cities could be handled with polygons. (I am not sure how to access the outside the US city names but apparently those can be done somehow.) Wikipedia has a list of US cities that seems correct here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_population There are 314 which would not overload the polygon system.

Also as this likely would be a one off, we might be able to just run a small subset.

It is good that the non-US cities seems to be available as the list for world cities on Wikipedia gets to some pretty small places that don't seem to meet the intention of the CO. That is list is available at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_cities_by_country

GC5B7K0 - Apparently this no longer requires a new script, the checker is:

Hallo, kann ich den selben Checker bekommen aber ohne Zeitbegrenzung. Und wo die Caches zu finden sind, in Welchem Land ist egal.

Re; GC96EJM
I'm sorry but since the introduction in 2016 of the challenge guidelines this type of challenge is no longer allowed.

Please read 2.12.9. Time-Limited and 2.12.10. Source of Criteria

Not acceptable

Quote
Specifying any element of a cache page (type, rating, etc.) or find count (above one per day) required during a streak.

and

Quote
These cache page elements: cache titles, cache owner, GC Codes, publishing Reviewer, or cache page text.

Hello Every one
Is this kind of challenge allowd ? There is no doubt ?
Please let me know .
Regards
ZeZol

No new challenge with these criteria would be allowed. The two mentioned in the original post are ones which were published before the current guidelines and therefore have been grandfathered in.
