[Resolved] New Checker - Happy birthday (https://coord.info/GCA01CA)
October 23, 2022 08:53PM
Hi. I want to publish a new challenge and I would like to give a checker with it. The logging requirements are:
Find a cache or place/retrieve a trackable in a cache that is celebrating its 10th, 20th, ... birthday. The day is set by the date in the listing, not by the publish date. Only physical caches are allowed - no virtuals, labs, earth caches or webcam caches. Is it possible to define a checker for these two possibilities? Best, Frank

This wouldn't be allowed under guideline 10:
Quote
Not acceptable
Trackable, Benchmarking, Waymarking logs, or specifying Lab Cache finds.

It's also arguable that it would not be allowed under guideline 14:
Quote
Not acceptable
Not finding caches: design that limits or punishes any element of finding caches. Examples: Challenges that require ratios in finds; such as 10% of finds must be Attended logs, challenges that require finding only some particular type for over time, as 100 consecutive Mystery finds.
The argument would be that it discourages finding caches on any day other than the birthday.

Hi! Thanks for your patience. Yes, the challenge was not accepted and we couldn't figure out any other challenge that would be accepted and which comes close to our idea. Thus we have decided to have a very easy, completely different challenge there (title has been changed accordingly). We now only have the condition, that at least one found T5 cache with the attribute "climbing gear required" is needed. Could you please tag a checker for me with that? Best regards, Frank

Hi! Thanks! But I think the checker is not complete yet. The qualifying cache has to be a T5 and I think this condition is not set. The name of the cache is "Challenge: Klettermax(in)e". Best, Frank

Please tell which checker you are going to use

The second one is perfect - I will take this one! Can you adjust the name of the challenge? As for now it is only "?". The correct name is "Challenge: Klettermax(in)e". Thanks a lot!

That will happen automatically (plus/minus a day or two) once your listing is published.
