[Resolved] request challenge checker for GC9FWBT 5 year non continuous
September 02, 2021 05:22PM
Hi developers and taggers
Is there already something existing that could be tagged or easily developed from your past code to verify that a geocacher have found :

A minimum 1 cache (param) any D/T (param) of any type (param) placed in each month jan to dec of 5 (param) non continuous year) that allow to have stopped effort due to COvid in 2020 and/or 2021

i would like also the same for 10 non continuous years (to be linked to
GC9FWC5) and for 15 (to be linked to GC9FWC9)

Thanks in advance

This wouldn't be allowed under guideline 9:
Quote
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.

This is an acceptable challenge as you could do it at any moment past, now and future without time limit from the past and until now, it is exactly the same as a continuous 365 days which is acceptable. The fact that the complete year could be non continuous is especially an easier way to do it.
example

Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, Mai, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec 2017
Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, Mai, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec 2018
Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, Mai, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec 2019
then Covid 2020 limitation
Covid 2021 limitation
Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, Mai, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec 2022
Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, Mai, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec 2023

for 1 (one) cache it is allowed as you can read

X Requiring more than one find on any day or calendar date, even if cumulative. Example: find 5 caches for every date of the Finds for Each Day of the Year grid.

365 days has been confirmed by Geocaching HQ as being the absolute longest minimum time to qualify for a challenge cache. And time-limited criteria are banned except for the few allowed exceptions:
Quote
Acceptable
* Maintaining a finds streak, at least one find per day, up to 365 days.
* Finding some number of caches per month, provided the number is cumulative over all years. Example: 100 finds in Januarys.
* Finding some number of caches per day of week, provided the number is cumulative over all years. Example: 100 finds on Mondays.

Ok, sorry, i don't express the demand correctly

i's about finding a minimum of 1 cache that HAVE BEEN PLACED in each month of a year.
I just want to lighten a kind of Jasper challenge by not having consecutive year of month placement and by allowing to have floating years. This lighten the jasper challenge by allowing a missing year for someone having had a desease, accident or typically the Covid year 2020, 2021 when less caches were placed

Ah, okay. That would be allowed. It will require a new script, I'm sure.

Perfect!
Many thanks

Could you instantiate/tag also for 1 year (link to GC9FYEG) and 3 years (link to
GC9FYEH), I plan an event with some beginners registered

Do you accept, do you appreciate some days of membership time ?

Okay:
1 year: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC9FYEG/63017
3 years: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC9FYEH/63018

I dont understand your other question, could you perhaps rephrase?

Again, many thanks,
It is said that I could reward you for such service by transferring some membership time of project-gc.
A transfer of some days from my pseudo to your pseudo. A way to thank you
