Another two points: 1. It could conflict with other challenges (such as maintaining a streak, where you're probably going to want low D/T caches to find on days when you don't have much time) and possibly become close to impossible to achieve after meeting the other challenge 2. Someone who has qualified may no longer qualify by the time the CO goes to check because they found anoby sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
This challenge does not seem to be allowed under the new guidelines, so I'm marking the request as cancelled. If you come up with new challenge criteria, feel free to make a new request.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Since this challenge will not be taggable under the current system, I'll archive it as "impossible"by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Additionally, it's not very well defined what the series' are apart from the "Got?" series which appears to be completely archived now. I tried making a checker based on finding at least 23 of the 42 specific caches listed on the challenge page, but five of the last ten finders have claimed additional points for completing series' and so came up as not qualifying.

Any Monday in the range 19 Jan - 25 Jan will be the Monday of the last full week of January.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Did you consider maybe using the "weekday" function in that script to make the tag more simple? You can make the "Blauw" part: "With name 'Blauw' find a cache where visitdate_month_day >= '0119' and visitdate_month_day <= '0125' and visitdate_weekday == 'Monday'."by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

Looks to me like it will need a new script (unless I've missed a way to get the Easy Tagging checker to handle one main and one of three sub-tasks)by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Do you have a confirmed email address in the Project-GC system? When you make a post or reply, under "Options:" there should be an option "Email me about replies to this topic" which should be checked by default. Is that option there for you and is it checked by default? If you answer "yes" to all those questions, it sounds like a system bug which the site adminiby sumbloke - Miscellaneous
Both reply and email: Your original request was completed within 15 minutes of you making the request. The tagger replied to the topic with a link to the checker. The checker is at http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC6F3W9/20973 and the request was moved to the "ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)" folder some time after that because it was completed.

I don't think it would be against guideline 11, since it's any cache within that area rather than a specific list.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
When you navigate to the checker, there will be a "Link" button on the right of the page which gives three possible link formats to place in the description on the cache page. <a href="http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC6KW6E/21551">Project-GC Challenge checker</a> <a href="http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC6KW6E/21551"><img src="httpby sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
The extra requirement of not counting events needs a slight adjustment to the script itself. I've contacted Target to make that adjustment and changed the tag to match the suggested adjustment so once he's made it the tag will match the challenge.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
A few questions: I assume the five most favoured would only count non-archived caches? What about disabled? Is the challenge on favourite points or percentage or Wilson score? (following questions assume points but are valid for any system) If there's multiple caches at the same number of favourite points for fifth, do any of them count? Would a cacher qualify if they had found a cacheby sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
I think this one is likely to need a new script. The status is only updated when one of us moderators changes it and I think we may have missed changing this one.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

I can't find any existing script which can handle this requirement, so it looks like a new script would be needed. It looks like the necessary API methods are available.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)

http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC2WT1K/21463 This checker does not account for events after the 2011 cutoff date. To create a complete checker would require some significant rework. It also doesn't account for benchmarks, since they are not available in the API. You do qualify even without checking for them.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

For modifications to existing checkers, please contact the tagger and/or script writer. In this case, it sounds like the changes you are looking for would need to be made in the script. That script was written by Target. He's pretty active on here and will likely look at this topic soon.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Okay, it looks like one of the last ten finders of your challenge doesn't qualify under the timezone-based checker - sillyb only has 11 different dates which were actually full moons where the caches were. Of course, it's always up to the cache owner as to whether a cacher counts as qualifying and it would be perfectly acceptable to "grandfather" the previous finders.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Given the odds of a find being on a full moon and the fact that the finder of your cache with the least finds has 750, there's approximately a 1 in 800 chance of them not having a qualifying set of finds anyway. But if I do create a set of values for full moons by timezone, I'll certainly test your recent finders before making the checker public.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
