From Geohashing

Consolation prizes

I know that Jiml likes to award lots of ribbons, and I approve of that, but I think that the MNB Geohash ribbon is not appropriate this time. The page for that award says that it should be awarded when the adventurers "only just fail, due to mother nature's impediments" [bold type as on the award page]. I think "it was raining so we didn't want to go" is not in the spirit of the MNB ribbon. I'm also not sure about the Prize poultry ribbon - the page for that one says that one "most certainly may not take this achievement for sitting at home, too chicken to even try geohashing". That would seem to rule this out as well. Looks to me like it was simply a planned expedition that didn't happen. You don't have to get ribbons for everything. — Benjw  {talk} 13:50, 21 November 2012 (EST)
