Mother Nature vs. The Internet vs. Civilization

The project is underway, slowly but surely. In a week or so, I will have read every expedition page on the site, and edited most of them. Opposing categories are exclusive - if the expedition failed, it will only have one failure type. Here's the statistical categories you can check out:

Up to May 30

99 were reached vs 54 not reached.
Private property leads failures with 30, followed by Mother Nature with 18, then Technology failure with 4.

Eventually I hope to create a template or script to keep these counts. --Thomcat 17:35, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Tnx for Raptor-ribbon

I just corrected the last case of "origin geohash". And I think I'll copy your userpage layout soon. Or be inspired by it.--Arvid 19:26, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Beautiful Icons

Very nice job on sunrise and midnight. -Robyn 04:09, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Multihash

Was it eight, nine or ten? There seem to be ten points on the map, nine names in the list and you called it eight. Very impressive, and as I may just be the only person who can travel faster than a guy in a fast car on the Autobahn, I may have a duty to do more.

I'll make you a ribbon later. Any ideas for the icon.

I'm also thihking of creating a new achievement for "Getting to more hashes in a given week than Relet." It would be very difficult for most people to achieve, but almost impossible for you. I'd like to see you try! -Robyn 02:09, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

I actually didn't remember the multihash ribbon existing, but someone has been busy and made one. After I wrote the comment I realized that you already had the ribbon on your page, but I figured you'd find some other meaning for my comment, or just decide I was crazy. -)

Yeah, I've wanted to do the air monster hash for a while, but it seemed like cheating. I wanted to give the ground-based people a chance. Now that you've set a hard-to-beat benchmark, I don't mind finding a line across the country that takes me through 40 geohashes. I feel a little sleazy taking graticule virginity that way, though.

Oh and I looove my ribbon. I was more worried about bears than alligators at this latitude, but the sentiment is exact. -Robyn 13:37, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
