[Resolved] GC7XQ7B oldest cache in 10 countries

[Resolved] GC7XQ7B oldest cache in 10 countries
September 14, 2018 09:40AM
Hi, i would like to request a checker for this cache:

GC7XQ7B Find the oldest available cache in 10 countries. Older, now archived caches do also count.
Is it possible to modify a script for this?

https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC4QTV0_senior-challenge >>> This is a similar cache with an existing checker: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC4QTV0/2520

Probably the older caches need to be added to that same bookmark for it to be searchable?

Thanks in advance
Niels

That script uses a bookmark list, which is against rule 11 of the challenge cache guidelines:

Specific Lists: Not Acceptable: A challenge based on elements under the cache owner’s primary control is not acceptable: examples, my favorites, my caches, bookmark lists, caches by this owner, or this group.

To clarify: you're asking for a find of the oldest cache in 10 countries, so 10 finds? There's been some push-back from some reviewers stating that oldest cache finds aren't in the spirit of the guidelines, so before we modify a script to cater for this, you first need to clear the challenge with your reviewer.

Hi, I recently tried to get published oldest cache in Ukraine but it was knocked back because it was a single cache and not allowed. I had to change the date to say that any cache older than a certain date, so that there were more to choose from.
I know it's annoying but that's the game these days, very restrictive.
Good luck
