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.

Hello Lean, brilliant, checker works perfectly! Author of that script is genius. Just, please, one more favor - would you, please, add following description (Tag comment) to that tag?

Hello, I was asked to create checker for GC85ZMT with simple condition: "You need to have found 13 geocaches hidden on Friday 13th" I can imagine that script can be written and I hope it already exists - I just did not find one.

Hello, thank you for great help - I used sumbloke's solution, because CO liked that version of output more. He has suggested that he does not want those additional countries anyway. But it's good to know about these options for future. Oh and I included all 5 counties of Bratislava, now they could fit into the limit. Thanks again.by Rikitan - Script development
Hello guys, I recieved a request for nice challenge - find cache in 10 of european capital cities.
