Roald88 (Me!)

Facts

15 / None / 42,-71

• I'm Roald88 (Roald isn’t my real name)
• I enjoy lists
• I’m a semi-active geohasher with unfortunate home placement (right next to the border of two Graticules, which sounds good until you learn one of them is more than 75% water and the other has an impressive amount of hashes on the other side of the graticule)
• I have a long list of people that I’d want to be puppets (the list below is not complete)
• In appearance, I’m a stereotypical theater tech member (stage manager and lights)
• Currently working on a D&D poison system involving real plants, which I am currently searching for because the internet has NO data on sap pH (anyone here know where I can find some Giant Hogweed? Found some in Canada but chickened out of taking a sample because of improper protection equipment)
• Waiting to graduate high school so I can a) get more independence, and b) go on a road trip with friends looking for colleges/doing geohashing
• Eventual goal: form a geohashing group with the above friends for more excitement when geohashing (something like The Relentless Haberdashers)
• Tetris Enthusiast

I have a Hashscot (Rosy Maple Moth) who will come with me to hashes whenever I remember to bring them.

Geohashing (and non-geohashing) Goals

• Unlock at least 9 graticules
• Be the first, second, or third person to get the MacGyver Geohash Achievment (I don’t think anyone’s gotten it yet - could be wrong)
• Actually meet another Geohasher who’s not someone I’ve convinced to start Geohashing
• Geohash on all continents
• Geohash in every state in the USA
• Repair my iPad keyboard CORRECTLY

• 

  Robyn has the Incredibly Crappy Walmart Bicycle, I have the Incredibly Crappy iPad Keyboard

• Get the Hobbit Geohash achievement using only food I’ve made (and if possible, a ring I’ve made by myself as well (this is mostly incentive for me to bake more))
• Run an impromptu one-shot (any TTRPG) at a hashpoint
• Get the Largest Geohash record (17+ people seems doable (I may try this at the next family reunion that I attend))
• Eventually make a documentary about Geohashing
