I would like to have a checker for GCANW0F with the following condition: Find a cache in at least 7 different countries with the 'special tool required' attribute Thanks in advance, keep up the great work!by Pihoqahiak - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Super, thank you for your prompt response! The cache was published today, whenever you are in the area.. ;) https://coord.info/GC9Q7T6by Pihoqahiak - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
See also https://project-gc.com/forum/read?11,64575: If you try this checker for user jacqmans, for some reason the checker doesn't work, although he has found 2 countries in 4 different continents. It seems that his finds in Africa (Gambia and Tunisia) are not acknowledged. I tried with different users with a find in either of those countries and both countries are accepted in the checkeby Pihoqahiak - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
It is absolutely perfect right now! No need for types counts in this challenge, but I may add one in the future :) Thanks again, I'll now try and get this challenge published.by Pihoqahiak - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Well done, it seems to work perfectly as intended! Good spot on the double Egypt, I totally missed that. So just to summarise, the current checker considers: Russia -> Europe Türkiye -> Asia Cyprus -> Asia Egypt -> Africa South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands -> Antarctica That's perfect, as that matches the distribution on Geocaching.com.

Thanks again for the efforts! I try to get my cache published before the end of the year. I'll work on the cache page in the meanwhile and have it ready for publishing as soon as the checker is done.by Pihoqahiak - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Here is the revised list. I found quite some old data: I added some missing countries, renamed a few and deleted some old spelling variants, especially in the Caribbean. This list, if done correctly by me, should include all countries as defined by geocaching.com, but the continent definition is the same as the 'Maps' tab in the PGC-profile. I have added Antarctica as a continent to thiby Pihoqahiak - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
In the PGC stats, Cyprus is included in BOTH Asia and Europe. The same goes for Russia and Turkey. On Geocaching, Russia is only included in Europe, Türkiye and Cyprus are only included in Asia.by Pihoqahiak - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
I ran some more tests with different users and found the following results: - Antarctic and subantarctic islands is not included as a continent. Can this be included? The 5 countries included can be similar to the ones used for the statistics page (Antarctica, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, French Southern and Antarctic Territories, Heard Island and McDonald Islands, Bouvet Islaby Pihoqahiak - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Thank you so much for this! I'll be away for a couple of days, so I'll extensively test this afterwards and send you the feedback. One thing I already noticed in the Tag: Tag comment: Find any combination of caches in 4 countries in 2 continents, 3 countries in 3 continents, 4 countries in 2 continents or 5 countries in one continent. This should read: Tag comment: Find any combiby Pihoqahiak - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

@Axocuddl: there is an attribute for 'bonus cache'. You can change your initial challenge to 'find 100 caches with the bonus cache attribute'. It won't be 100% the same, because not every CO adds this attribute to their cache (and some may add it while it isn't a bonus cache I guess), but it probably gets close.by Pihoqahiak - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Hi, I'd like to have a checker made for the following challenge: Find 10 caches with both the 'Boat required' and 'Scenic view nearby' attributes. Thank you in advance!by Pihoqahiak - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Thanks for the explanation. Of course I understand that there are more important things in life than challenge checkers ;) Keep me updated, if it will take too much of your time, I can always change this challenge into something easierby Pihoqahiak - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Would it help if I provide a list of countries for each continent?by Pihoqahiak - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Hi, any updates on my request yet? Thanks, Pihoqahiakby Pihoqahiak - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I like to request a checker for GC9Q7T6. There is a different checker for this GC-code already, but unfortunately this challenge was not accepted by the reviewer, so I like to change this checker to the following conditions: Find a cache in 4 countries on each of 2 continents (= a total of 8 unique countries) OR Find a cache in 3 countries on each of 3 continents (= a total of 9 unique countby Pihoqahiak - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
This challenge was rejected by a reviewer: Find a cache in 3 non-sovereign countries or territories. Sovereign countries will be defined as the 193 UN member states + 2 observer states (Vatican City and Palestine). The remaining 55 countries or territories defined by GC will qualify for this challenge, being: {insert list here} I never suggested my EU-country example after this, becauseby Pihoqahiak - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
@Tintenklexx Have you checked if this challenge would be accepted by a reviewer? I tried to get a several challenges published with similar conditions, but they were all rejected, either because cities (or towns) are not a defined geographic area on Geocaching or because I 'made up' my own subset of geographic areas (for example: you cannot have 'find a cache in X EU-countries'by Pihoqahiak - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I don't think that will be accepted because of criteria 14: https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=127&pgid=206#positiveCriteria Specifically the part where it reads what is not allowed "Not finding caches: design that limits or punishes any element of finding caches."

Thanks for the quick response. It seems that Reunion and Cook Islands are missing in the checker. Also, Brazil and Tonga are added (which should not be there).by Pihoqahiak - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Challenge was not accepted, as expected. Would it be possible to get a checker for the following challenge instead: Find a cache in 3 non-sovereign countries or territories. Sovereign countries will be defined as the 193 UN member states + 2 observer states (Vatican City and Palestine). The remaining 55 countries or territories defined by GC will qualify for this challenge, being: Alby Pihoqahiak - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Ow bummer, I thought I was ok with this one. They really took away some fun and creativity with these new challenge guidelines. I have still a request pending for this challenge with a reviewer, so I will just be awaiting their feedback before closing this topic.

Hi, I would like to create the following challenge: Find 10 unique combinations of 2 countries in 1 day To clarify: - You need to at least find a cache in two (or more) countries on 10 different days - Each combination of countries can only count once - If you have a find in more than two countries in one day, any combination of two countries can be used, i.e. if you find a cache inby Pihoqahiak - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
