+BFMC Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Hi All Wanting to seek out some opinions on the following challenges. I submitted checker requests for each, they queried whether one met the requirements (number 5 below) about time limitation and told me to seek advice from my reviewer. Which I duly did (and they sought further clarity themselves), only to come back with a response that the only one I could publish was #7 (because it was acceptable based on having months of the year) I'm most likely going to go through the appeal process on this one. At this stage I want to point our that my reviewer has been nothing short of fantastic, and I can see why they came to the decision they did based on what clarification they sought out. Before I do I thought I would seek some thoughts on these boards. The caches were a series of 7 challenges, all based on completing a certain challenge on all 7 days of the week. All of these have checkers built, and all are cumulative over time. #1 has been published multiple times around the world since the current challenge guidelines were released. 1 - Find all D ratings and all T ratings on all 7 days of the week: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC8F0GY/45817 2 - Find 7 different (specified) cache types on each day of the week (multi, trad, unknown, letterbox, earth, virtual, Wherigo): https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC8F0HA/45814 3 - Attend an event (any type) on each of the 7 days of the week: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC8F0JD/45813 4 - Find all 7 cache sizes on all 7 days of the week: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC8F0JH/45816 5 - Minimum 77 finds on each day of the week: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC8F0JJ/45824 6 - Minimum 777 favorite points found on all 7 days of the week: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC8F0KW/45825 7 - 1 find on each day of the week in all 12 months of the year: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC8F0JX/45823 My understanding of time-limiting restrictions was to avoid challenges that required cachers to have multiple finds on a single day (whether that be any day, a specific day of the week or a certain date) e.g. 100 finds in a day. I wouldnt mind being able to do challenges like that but can understand why GS dont want it. Where im getting confused is on a couple of points: 1 - All of the above challenges can be completed by finding no more than 1 cache on any given day. Sure, it would take a while to do it that way, but it's possible. 2 - The feedback my reviewer got was that GS didnt want challenges at a more granular level than calendar month. I'm not sure I can understand why, as a challenge based on days of the week means you have ~52 opportunities per year to get a qualifying cache/caches yet a challenge based on months means you only have 28-31 opportunities per year. Days of the week also occur all year round whereas monthly challenges can (and do) force cachers to get out in some pretty hairy winter conditions in certain parts of the world. The above 2 points would be my basis for taking the caches to appeals and my thinking behind this is what i'm hoping to get some opinions on. Cheers BFMC Quote Link to comment
+ecanderson Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Yeah, past acceptance is no guarantee of future acceptance ... But recent challenges include finding caches on each of the 366 calendar days and others with similar 'day' vs. 'month' granularity. Not sure why yours was bounced due to 'granularity'. Quote Link to comment
+MNTA Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I like #1 already qualify. Even though there is no streak or specific date required, think of it from GS rule perspective of someone that does not qualify yet. Now they don't want to require someone to find a certain cache type on Thursday that forces a behavior. They want it to be fluid I suppose, but daily streaks in my opinion are worse than this, I really disliked caching after stopping at 423 days in a row, it became a job, it became a hassle. When you have the flu and you got to go out and make a find, thank goodness for saving that LPC down the street for this emergency. Silly, anyway I see their point and yours. Quote Link to comment

Agreed - I wont be using them as a predence argument to say 'you should publish because' Granularity was my understanding of the feedback I got & attempting to understand why, as opposed to a clear response.

+MartyBartfast Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 If you do appeal and get over this hurdle, how will you fare on the "must be achievable by a reasonable number of cachers" requirement? Looking at the descriptions some of them looked fairly difficult to me will there be enough cachers in your area with the numbers? I was a bit surprised when I checked and discovered I only need to find 1 Wherigo on a Thursday and I've qualified for all of them. Quote Link to comment
+arisoft Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) I didn't make complete research but at first I found that your challenges seems to be streak challenges of 7 consecutive days starting from a monday. For a streak you are allowed to require only one find per day without other stipulations. Edited October 25, 2019 by arisoft Quote Link to comment

But it doesn't have to be thisThursday, it can be any Thursday in the rest of their caching life. Is that really any more onorous than challenges requiring some number of finds with particular attributes or D/T ratings? When, for example, I was out finding D2/T4 caches for a particular challenge, I couldn't use that caching time to pound the pavement grabbing urban micros. 1 Quote Link to comment

+thebruce0 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 The only reason that comes to mind as mentioned above, and has been given to me when I tried publishing shortly after the moratorium, might be about the day-of-week requirement where the challenge effectively 'forces' a person to change their caching habits in that if they need a cache for Tuesday and it's Wednesday, they might not find a cache they otherwise would in order to save it for next Tuesday. Now, imo, 1 week is no big deal in the grand scheme, but I could see them using a 1 week period as too 'granular'. Ironically, if someone needs a certain qualifier in March, but they miss it and it becomes April, they might feel forced to wait a whole year to find that cache next March. But... then again, at such a scale, yeah it's a 1 year wait, but the chances of another qualifier appearing before then means they could still find that particular cache and have little to no impact on the challenge. I dunno, its' a toughy. I can see why the reviewer had to get a 2nd opinion. I'd allow it. But IANAR I hope your appeal is successful, I might use the idea about day-of-week qualifiers too ... used the same concept for location by restricting common challenges to specific counties. Granularity in various contexts is a touchy aspect of challenges Quote Link to comment

A streak challenge effectively forces this same behavior, and usually on a much larger scale. Likewise with fill-the-calendar, where I would hold off on finding a particular cache and save it for one of the days I still needed to fill in. If those challenges are allowed, this reasoning shouldn't be used against the OP's challenges. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with the proposed challenges. It will be interesting to hear what comes out of appeals. Quote Link to comment
+thebruce0 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 3 minutes ago, The A-Team said: A streak challenge effectively forces this same behavior, and usually on a much larger scale. Yep, and they drew the line at 1 year length. However the streaks are for any cache so it doesn't technically discourage you from finding a specific (property of) cache to save for another day. In a sense, the time period is 1 week instead of 1 year, but these challenges above are much more limited in qualifiers than a find-a-day streak. (acknowledging that some areas don't have over 365 caches in reasonable distance, but that's a different concern for streak challenges themselves) 5 minutes ago, The A-Team said: Likewise with fill-the-calendar, where I would hold off on finding a particular cache and save it for one of the days I still needed to fill in. IIRC streak challenges can't be restricted to cache properties, so it's much much less likely that you'll hold off finding a specific cache, to the degree that a cache-property-restricted challenge would. Again I'm just guessing that these are some of the reasonings for the denial, not that I agree with them Quote Link to comment

+msrubble Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I can't read the challenge at Project GC (no account there), and don't know whether there is clarification. As stated in the opening post, however, there is ambiguity about what you mean. Find at least 77 caches in one day. Do this for a week in a row. Find at least 77 caches in one day. Do this repeatedly, at least once on a Sunday, once on a Monday, etc. Have a total of at least 77 finds for every day of the week, the way your profile says that you find most caches on a Friday. The first two interpretations might be problematic, especially the first. Quote Link to comment

+BFMC Posted October 27, 2019 Author Share Posted October 27, 2019 Thanks for the input all. I hit the appeal button today so will see what happens. Prior to submitting the appeal I ensured I had enough qualifiers in my immediate area (I have more than enough for all of them). Given I qualify for all of them after 2 years and 1600 finds I find them to be challenging without being impossible (which was the aim). should the appeal get up i’ll have to settle on D ratings for them all, happy to take thoughts on that too ?

+mustakorppi Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Requiring caches with the size ”not chosen” in challenge #4 might be a bit unfair. You can’t search for that size on geocaching.com (they’re listed under ”other”) and new caches can’t be made so it’s possible to permanently run out (in a reasonable geographic area).

+Isonzo Karst Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) In a PQ, if you ask for size Unknown, the return will be Not Chosen as parsed by a project gc checker, or shown on your stats module. The ability to select Not Chosen as a size ended early May 2014, so the numbers are finite. In Victoria, OZ there are 49 ( 36 need to have their size changed to Virtual ;-) - mostly Earthcaches. ) On a Pocket Query, you can ask for Micro Small Regular Large Other (see description) Virtual Unknown On the Stats module you see: Micro Small Regular Large Other Virtual Not Chosen Edited October 27, 2019 by Isonzo Karst 1 Quote Link to comment

Ratio challenges are similar. If you can cache normally and eventually qualify (even without trying) then it'll likely be accepted (as long as you're not "bookkeeping" or being arbitrarily artistic with region borders beyond counties).

What are "regular geocaching habits", "cache normally", and "normal geocaching habits" because I'm pretty sure that I don't do any of things or I'd qualify for a log more challenge caches. To me, finding more than 1000 caches a year seem like finding a lot, but apparently that's what many consider "regular geocaching". Quote Link to comment

Yes, while I've only done a handful of challenge caches, the one I most enjoyed was the one requiring 24 caches with a D/T rating of 2/4. It took me a year to qualify but along the way I did some pretty amazing caches, including one half way up a mountain on Lord Howe Island. With my limited caching opportunities here, the only ones I'm likely to qualify for are those that require small numbers of particular caches. For example, I doubt I'll ever qualify for #3 in this thread (attend an event on each day of the week) as all the events around here are only ever held on weekends. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yep, I've been surprised by some people who've been caching for many years longer than I, some around or over that 20k mark, yet don't qualify for some "easier" fizzy challenges (especially in our region). Casual caching tends to get you a very heavily weight upper-left DT grid. Working on challenges gets you to focus more on caches you may never have even thought of doing otherwise, without realizing you could. I think they can be a healthy addition to the hobby. Pre-moratorium many of these style of challenges were labeled "well-rounded" challenges. These days most of our region challenges are by nature rounding out people's odd/rare stats Edited October 29, 2019 by thebruce0 Quote Link to comment

I think they can be a healthy addition to the hobby. My thoughts exactly. And like any other cache, if you don't want to do it you don't have to do it but I know plenty that will enjoy working on it. My favorite challenge I have worked on so far (but am still yet to go and sign) was pre-current guidelines. 50 years of unloved finds with a cap of 50 caches. No sharing, so if you went in a group of 3 only one of you could use the unloved for the challenge. I spent months targeting and finding caches that were unloved for over a year. It was thoroughly enjoyable and took me to caches I probably wouldn't have otherwise gone to anytime soon. (edit: I can understand why this type of challenge is no longer permitted though. Too hard to validate.) Got an email from HQ this morning apologising for the delay because challenge appeals take longer than usual. No apology needed, all that tells me is that they are giving it due consideration rather than turning around a quick 'Thanks for your email, but no'.

+McLookers Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I enjoy working towards challenges and I enjoy creating challenges for others to work towards. These challenges are brilliant. I have found that working towards challenges have diversified my caching experiences. It has encouraged me to target a range of caches that I may never have really explored and in turn I have had the benefit of exposure to many places and opportunities that I may have missed. Surely this is what geocaching is all about? I applaud you BFMC on your quest to give us greater caching opportunities and experiences. And, for those that are not interested in challenges and the like, they can continue to cache in the way that suits them...something for everyone! Quote Link to comment
