User:Robyn/Achievement ribbons

I love the idea of Achievements, I want them *all*. When I started geohashing I imposed a restriction on myself of one award per geohash, but now I take as many as apply that I don't have yet.

Once Is Enough Ribbons

Many of these achievements are attainable more than once, but I don't collect multiple copies. I only take a ribbon for the first time I achieve the feat. I might replace a ribbon here with a more impressive or photogenic version of the achievement, however. In chronological order, most recently earned last.

Collections

These are ribbons that I collect each time I earn one, because they are specific to different places or dates.

Last Man Standing

These are kind of special ribbons because unless geohashing dies out, it's going to be a rare day on which someone can earn one again.

Virgin Graticules

I was the first to reach coordinates in a number of graticules. Some were reached by air, not on the ground. Arranged north to south, west to east.

Superlative Ribbons

Just one, so far. It's partly a joke, and more a testament to my early start at geohashing than the coldness of the geohash. On this day this was the coldest reported geohashing temperature ever. I've been to colder geohashes, but not again to the coldest ever.

Robyn earned the Cold geohash achievement by reaching the (55, -114) geohash on 2008-08-21 while the temperature was 14.8°C.

Not Really Achievements

It doesn't have to be an achievement to be commemorated with a ribbon.

Consolation Prizes

For when I failed to reach a geohash in an interesting way.

Robyn earned the No trespassing consolation prize by almost reaching the (48, -121) geohash on 2008-07-19.

Gratuitous Ribbons

These are silly one-off ribbons commemorating things that aren't really achievements.
