If this is really only about number of expeditions in a graticule, I hereby ask that my expeditions are not counted, excluding Stuttgart and possibly Pforzheim from the competition, starting with round one. I'm not willing to be part of a competition about pure number of expeditions. Geohashing is not about numbers, it is about experience. Also we all know who will "win" this, and that it won't be a fun and friendly competition. For most of us this is reason enough not to care.

Danatars suggestion would be much better, if we want a competition about numbers at all. --[[User:Ekorren|Ekorren]] 22:11, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

I like a little bit of competition, even if it's just the numbers. Nonetheless, I agree that Danatar's suggestion would provide for the more interesting numbers. But if you'd like to stick even closer to the spirit, you could have a jury (everyone?) rate expeditions by key geohashing criteria, like randomness, outdoors-ness, geekiness, unexpectedness and overall amazingness. That might make for some amazing competition. :D -- [[User:relet|relet]] 23:52, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Wouldn't it be more interesting to use "total number of geohashers at hashpoints" as the first item? I.e. one expedition with 3 people would count more than 2 expeditions with only one person each. That way it would encourage meetups, drag-alongs and other group-related stuff. - Danatar 18:55, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
