Red spider achievement

From Geohashing
Revision as of 01:03, 9 May 2024 by KerrMcF (talk | contribs) (Changing to rejected as per discussions. The newer Birds of a Feather achievement covers the main ideas of this achievement.)

This achievement was proposed in the past, but has been rejected, because the Birds of a Feather achievement uses this idea of encountering animals but requires them to be rarer. Having two similar achievements would be redundant. Please read the discussion page for more details.

As per the page proposed achievements: If an achievement has strong opposition and the reasons for opposition are not resolved through discussion, then the proposed achievements category is replaced with the rejected achievements category, the reason explained succinctly on the page, and the page otherwise marked to make sure it isn't confused with an achievements page.


Origin

On a hash to 2010-08-08 43 -78, I ran into a rather scary spider. I remembered a recurring theme in the XKCD comics relating to red spiders, namely, this [1], this [2], and this [3].

Proposal

I orginally thought about making this achievement about running into spiders exclusively, but perhaps it would be about running into any type of creature from the animal kingdom while in the pursuit of getting to a hash point, and taking a picture rather then running away.

Ribbon

Ought to look something like this:
