Bug: Country count incorrect in Stat Compare

Question

There is a discrepancy in my stats between the country count in  Profile Stats BadgeGen ir or Maps pages and Stat Compare.

Stat compare shows 14 countries visited, Profile Stats show 13. I don't think the problem is lab caches as Stat Compare ignores labs (I'm going to raise that as a separate issue). I suspect that Stat Compare is including USA for GC8NEAT and GC8FROG, whose countries are ignored in Profile Stats.

I don't really mind which way it is (either ignore or don't ignore the countries on locationless caches) - what I really would like is for the statistics to be consistant.

Answer 1

Yes stat compare includes the country for locationless caches. It also includes caches from the official "Caches Excluded from Souvenirs and Statistics"-list that players can chose to not include in their profile stats. Since this is an option the stat compare and the profile stats will never match 100% and it will not be truly consistent no matter if you include or exclude these caches. Personally I think the best solution would be a filter for this, an option if you want to include them or not, but that seems like much work with little pay off to me.
