Thank you, Lean. It's great from my view. I'll confirm it with the owner and reply again.by Rikitan - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Hi guys, again, my head is spinning around from combination in this request :) But I'm sure it's possible somehow. Please, help. Request - ALL conditions must be met: - Find at least 71 caches in December (any year, cummulative) - Find at least 7 cache types in December (any year, cummulative) - Attend at least 1 CITO event in December (any year) From reviewer perspectivby Rikitan - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

Hello, please, help us with checker for cache GC8ZQRY. Task: Find at least 1 cache (any) with at least 300 favorite points in at least 10 countries. Thank you, Rikitanby Rikitan - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Lean, these 2 probably won't fly: Find 11 different icons in Arizona, United States (more details below). 3 caches that each have been found at least 4,000 times (found count is not acceptable criteria) You should rather write disclaimer "no guarantees" for owners ;) --- 11 icons in one state use to be too much to ask for. These are generally available everywhere:by Rikitan - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Great, thank you Magnus! I'm also reviewer for Slovakia, Ukraine, Belarus, Armenia and Georgia and I can confirm that challenges based on elevation data are currently allowed. Just like challenges on county-level of data, elevation from Project-gc is acceptable source of criteria.

Hello, I have one type of challenge on my mind and I'm not sure if it is possible to create a checker with existing scripts and methods. Basically, I would need a method similar to PGC.GetOldestCaches - but instead of hidden date parameter it would be using altitude (elevation) parameter. Example of script (Oldest): https://project-gc.com/Tools/Challenges?edit&tagId=42338 Exampby Rikitan - Method requests
Hello, checkers are now a bit unstable, more timing-out than not. Reading through recent posts above me, is there a chance that challenges (pun intended:) with CPU consumption will be improved in near future? Thank you.by Rikitan - Checker news
Thank you, Magnus. I can imagine that performance-wise, it is huge demand (to look for other logs), only for this tiny "lonely" statistics. Not a way to go, understand. "Fun factor" - yes, I can ensure everyone that "lonely" challenges belongs to most favourite ones between reviewers and in HQ. Going after "lonely" caches is adventurous for players and vby Rikitan - Checker news

As a reviewer, I opened the topic of potential return of this kind of lonely challenges into our internal forums. Although there are several concerns, I've seen some chance that it may be just OK. After summarizing many thoughtful views of my colleagues, HQ has reviewed matter of Lonely challenges. Let me rephrase them: HQ do agree there are many good reasons to encourage players toby Rikitan - Checker news
Hi Pieterix, don't worry too much about these suggestions. Will explain in my next post.by Rikitan - Checker news
Pieterix, hello, reporting few other issues, 2 and 3 are minor ones, but the first one is worth to resolve, please: 1. Archived caches At the moment, checker gives credit for finds after archival date. I don't think it is correct, because these caches suppose to be out of the game already and such lonely challenge may encourage players to "maintain" them in order to earn cheby Rikitan - Checker news

Ed&Pluis is timing out, I think. They have 37,718 finds, 60 seconds are not enough to check them. I tested Schmollkof with 19,994 finds and it took 49 seconds.

Pieterix, checker works with hidden date when there is no previous find log. Can it be configured to publish date instead? I know that old caches does not have published log, those would be using hidden date. I see it mentioned as fallback above. Anyway - awesome job, guys. Very much appreciated!by Rikitan - Checker news
Blacklist of tags (GC codes) would be very very long. If possible, I don't mind, but that's not what I'm asking for. I'm asking for option for the scriptwriter (author of the script) to disable tagging and/or cloning the tags on his script. Example - I'm author of several scripts and I don't want random people to clone individual tags, because they are not complyiby Rikitan - Miscellaneous
This is one of the pain-points from reviewer perspective: Players often search for cool challenges, cloning the old tags without knowledge of V2 guidelines after moratorium. It would be helpful to block cloning of the tags on those V1 scripts. If you have better idea, please, let me know.by Rikitan - Miscellaneous
Tag comment would be: Find at least 1 cache, placed in each month of the year, for at least 13 years. Years do not have to be consecutive. Checksum - in total we need to find 13 x 12 = 156 caches, placed in different months each, from Jan to Dec, over 13 years.

Arisoft is right, continents as such is not acceptable criteria, but if cache owner defines sets of countries - such workaround is fine. And then it is up to challenge cache owner how he decides where each country belongs to.by Rikitan - Miscellaneous
No problem. Don't need to scrap the idea just yet, but you have to skip those 3 and check with your reviewer if he'd be OK with combination of remaining ones in one challenge. In general, it is not recommended to mix too many conditions in one.by Rikitan - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Hello, challenge of this complexity would probably be denied by your reviewer as too complicated. Please, read following guideline: https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=127&pgid=206#standardForCriteria "The challenge requirements should be simple, and easy to explain, follow and document.
