Last man standing achievement

From Geohashing
Revision as of 03:36, 26 August 2008 by imported>Robyn (I laughed when I saw your note. You knew I'd swoop in with categories!)

Take this achievement if you are the only geohasher to report a visit on any given date. This is to encourage people to visit hashes on those busy days where no one seems to have time to go. And everyone loves a good story!

Note that this is not an award for being the only one to turn up at a given set of coordinates, no it's for being the only one in the whole world to report a geohash on a given date. Including the Australians, who are always geohashing. Upside-down, even. It's amazing.

How to Find Out

Don't worry, you don't have to scour the entire wiki to find out how many people attempted geohashes on the day of your expedition. Start by going to the page called Category:Meetup on YYYY-MM-DD (except with numbers instead of letters for the YYYY-MM-DD part). You can get there by clicking the link at the bottom of your wiki-published expedition report (the category will be generated automatically if you use the (highly recommended) graticule template, or you can type in the search box, the whole thing including the word Category and the colon. Then look at the list of expeditions. For example Category:Meetup on 2008-07-18 yields five expedition reports and 15 pictures. So no one earned this achievement on that day.

You might want to wait for a week or two until the reports come in, before declaring yourself a winner.
