User:KerrMcF/Achievement Drafts

The following is a list of current achievements re-written to match a hypothetical standardised formatting. This page is not linked to the main content of the wiki and should not be used as the standard page for achievements. I am not looking for comments or feedback on these re-writes at this stage.

Land geohash achievement

Template:Land geohash

This user earned the Land geohash achievement by reaching the ({{{latitude}}}, {{{longitude}}}) geohash on [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude}}} {{{longitude}}}|{{{date}}}]].

The Land geohash achievement can be claimed when you successfully reach a geohash positioned on land. This achievement is the oldest and most basic of the achievements, but is still highly unattainable to those who live on small islands in the middle of the ocean. Whilst it is perhaps the most easily attainable, it is usually a geohasher's first achievement and is something to be proud of earning.

Proof

As this achievement requires you to reach the coordinates, standard proof should be provided. No additional proof is required for this achievement, as most expeditions are assumed to take place on land unless stated otherwise.

Winners

The following is a list of geohashers who have claimed the Land geohash achievement and added themselves below. For a complete list of pages containing this achievement ribbon, see Category:Land geohash achievement.

Bicycle geohash achievement

Template:Bicycle geohash

This user earned the Bicycle geohash achievement by cycling to the ({{{latitude}}}, {{{longitude}}}) geohash on [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude}}} {{{longitude}}}|{{{date}}}]].

The Bicycle geohash achievement can be claimed when you successfully reach a geohash by bike. The usage of a car, public transport, or any other vehicle which is not entirely powered by yourself is not allowed. Unicycles, monocycles, tricycles, and scooters may also earn you this achievement, as may skateboards and longboards, as long as they are not electric. You may also wish to consider if the Skate geohash achievement applies to your expedition.

If your expedition begins and ends at the same point and your expedition route never crosses or touches itself, you may have also earned the Tron achievement; your bicycle has become a Light Cycle!

Proof

As this achievement requires you to reach the coordinates, standard proof should be provided. Additionally, you should provide a photograph or track log of your route, demonstrating that it took place via bicycle.

Winners

The following is a list of geohashers who have claimed the Bicycle geohash achievement and added themselves below. For a complete list of pages containing this achievement ribbon, see Category:Bicycle geohash achievement.

Only the expedition with the longest total distance should be listed for each user, resulting in each user having only one listing. The list should also be sorted in descending order of total distance cycled. Feel free to add expeditions shorter than your longest total distance to the Bicycle geohashes page.

Entries marked with a * involved public transport, which has not been included in the total claimed distance.

Public transport geohash achievement

Template:Public transport geohash

This user earned the Public transport geohash achievement by reaching the ({{{latitude}}}, {{{longitude}}}) geohash on [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude}}} {{{longitude}}}|{{{date}}}]] using public transit.

The Public transport geohash achievement can be claimed when you successfully reach a geohash by bus, train, subway, or other mass transit. Using any motorised individual transport - such as a car, taxi, or motorbike - invalidates this achievement. You do not have to reach the geohash whilst onboard your choice of public transport, but it must be involved at some point in your expedition. You may also be eligible for the Water geohash achievement if you reach the geohash whilst you are on a ferry or other maritime transport.

Proof

As this achievement requires you to reach the coordinates, standard proof should be provided. Additionally, you should provide a photograph of the mode of public transport you used in your expedition, or a photograph of any tickets you may have purchased.

Winners

The following is a list of geohashers who have claimed the Public transport geohash achievement and added themselves below. For a complete list of pages containing this achievement ribbon, see Category:Public transport geohash achievement.

Graticule unlocked achievement

Template:Graticule unlocked

This user earned the Graticule Unlocked Achievement by being the first to reach any hashpoint in the [[{{{latitude}}},{{{longitude}}}|({{{latitude}}}, {{{longitude}}})]] graticule, here, on [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude}}} {{{longitude}}}|{{{date}}}]].

The Graticule unlocked achievement can be claimed when you successfully reach a geohash, and are the first to do so in that graticule. Not to be confused with the Earliest geohasher achievement, the Graticule unlocked achievement can only be claimed by the first ever to reach a geohash in each graticule. As such, this achievement is only available once per graticule, and will become more difficult to achieve as time goes on. 'Achievement completionists' coming late to geohashing will potentially have to consider venturing to Antarctic or oceanic graticules.

Until 2024, the Graticule unlocked achievement was called the 'Virgin graticule achievement', and references to this name may still be found in expedition reports across the wiki.

Who's on First?

The achievement can only be claimed by the first person to reach a geohash in a graticule with the knowledge of it being the geohash for that day. If you happened to have been at a past geohash without knowing at the time, you cannot claim this achievement (but if you revisit this place, you may be eligible for the Déjà vu geohash achievement). Every person who is part of the first group to reach the geohash, or who arrives whilst the first group is still present, may claim this achievement. The geohasher(s) should document their success on the wiki, and should add a reference to their expedition to the graticule page itself.

In addition to this, it would benefit the wiki as a whole if the geohasher(s) edited the graticule page to add some information, potentially including a photograph representative of the general area. Even if your attempt at this achievement is unsuccessful, your additions to the graticule page will be greatly appreciated.

Proof

As this achievement requires you to reach the coordinates, standard proof should be provided. No additional proof is required for this achievement, as it is easy to check via the wiki whether the expedition was the first within its graticule or not.

Winners

The following is a list of geohashers who have claimed the Graticule unlocked achievement and added themselves below. For a complete list of pages containing this achievement ribbon, see Category:Graticule unlocked achievement.

Consecutive geohash achievement

Template:Consecutive geohash - Displays the number of consecutive coordinates reached, the original ribbon.

This user earned the Consecutive geohash achievement by reaching {{{count}}} consecutive hash points starting on [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude}}} {{{longitude}}}|{{{date}}}]].

Template:Consecutive geohash 2 - Displays the number of consecutive days.

This user earned the Consecutive geohash achievement by reaching hash points on {{{count}}} consecutive days starting on [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude}}} {{{longitude}}}|{{{date}}}]].

Template:Consecutive geohash 3 - Displays the number of coordinates reached and consecutive days.

This user earned the Consecutive geohash achievement by reaching {{{hashcount}}} hash points on {{{daycount}}} consecutive days starting on [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude}}} {{{longitude}}}|{{{date}}}]].

Template:Consecutive geohash 4 - Displays the number of geohashes attempted, coordinates reached and consecutive days.

This user earned the Consecutive geohash achievement by attempting {{{expeditioncount}}} hash points on {{{daycount}}} consecutive days and reaching {{{hashcount}}} of them, starting on [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude}}} {{{longitude}}}|{{{date}}}]].

The Consecutive geohash achievement can be claimed when you successfully reach at least one geohash for multiple consecutive days. You should only claim this achievement when you improve your personal best for the number of consecutive days. As this achievement requires you to reach geohashes on multiple days, you must have a minimum of two successful expeditions. There are four ribbon variants, all of which can be seen above, and all of which display different measures. Retrohashes do not count towards your consecutive streak.

Proof

As this achievement requires you to reach the coordinates, standard proof should be provided. Since you are also required to achieve multiple consecutive days, you should ensure that all expeditions within this period have the appropriate proof.

Winners

The following is a list of geohashers who have claimed the Consecutive geohash achievement and added themselves below. For a complete list of pages containing this achievement ribbon, see Category:Consecutive geohash achievement. You are awarded one 'hash-mark' (#) for each consecutive day that you reach a geohash. Reaching multiple geohashes in a single day does not give you any extra 'hash-marks', but it will qualify you for the Multihash achievement.

Minesweeper geohash achievement

Template:Minesweeper geohash

This user achieved level {{{ranknumber}}} of the Minesweeper Geohash achievement by visiting coordinates in [[{{{graticule}}}]] and {{{ranknumber}}} of the surrounding graticules.

Claremont, NH	Concord, NH	Portland, ME
Springfield, MA	Example	Lynn, MA
Hartford, CT	Providence, RI	Cape Cod, MA

The Minesweeper geohash achievement can be claimed when you successfully reach a geohash in any one graticule and in any of the eight graticules that surround it. A complete Minesweeper geohash achievement involves successfully reaching a geohash in all eight of the surrounding graticules.

The eight surrounding graticules could also be referred to as the graticules directly north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west, and northwest of the central graticule, such as they would appear on the map on a graticule's page (the Boston graticule is shown on this page as an example). The central graticule does not have to be your home graticule, but can be any graticule of your choosing. The geohashes that are a part of your Minesweeper do not have to be achieved in any particular order or within any specific time period.

It is important to note that there are no 'free squares' within the 3-by-3 grid, all graticules must have at least one geohash reached in order to complete the achievement. Whilst it is perfectly acceptable to geohash in a graticule consisting primarily or entirely of ocean, it is suggested that you choose a central graticule which will avoid the requirement of an ocean-going vessel to complete your Minesweeper.

You may also be interested in the N-in-a-row achievement, which is earned by successfully reaching a geohash in multiple graticules in a row. A completed Minesweeper geohash achievement will have earned this achievement a minimum of eight times.

Ranks

Due to the nature of certain areas, this can be an incredibly challenging achievement to fully complete. In order to give relief and encouragement to those who have not yet completed the full achievement, there are a series of ranks with corresponding ribbons to allow for the progress towards completing the Minesweeper to be demonstrated.

• Level 1 - Reach a geohash in any graticule, plus any one of its adjacent graticules.
• Level 2 - Reach a geohash in any graticule, plus any two of its adjacent graticules.
• Level 3 - Reach a geohash in any graticule, plus any three of its adjacent graticules.
• Level 4 - Reach a geohash in any graticule, plus any four of its adjacent graticules.
• Level 5 - Reach a geohash in any graticule, plus any five of its adjacent graticules.
• Level 6 - Reach a geohash in any graticule, plus any six of its adjacent graticules.
• Level 7 - Reach a geohash in any graticule, plus any seven of its adjacent graticules.
• Minesweeper - Reach a geohash in any graticule, plus all eight of its adjacent graticules.

After successfully completing the Minesweeper geohash achievement, some users have went on to reach a geohash in every graticule adjacent to the nine needed for their original Minesweeper, effectively creating a 5-by-5 grid of geohashed graticules, or a 'Super-Minesweeper'. This is a very difficult additional ranking for this achievement, and earning this deserves a large amount of respect and recognition.

Proof

As this achievement requires you to reach the coordinates, standard proof should be provided. Since you are also required to achieve a success in the surrounding graticules, you should ensure that all of the expeditions within this region have the appropriate proof.

Drag-along achievement

Template:Drag-along

This user earned the Drag-along achievement by reaching the ({{{latitude}}}, {{{longitude}}}) geohash on [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude}}} {{{longitude}}}|{{{date}}}]].

The Drag-along achievement can be claimed when you successfully reach a geohash with a friend/acquaintance who is not a geohasher themselves. The person you bring to the geohash must attend of their own free will, but they are not required to know what the purpose of your expedition is. If you send someone to a geohash but do not personally attend it, you do not qualify for this achievement, but you may be interested in the Puppet master geohash achievement.

Proof

As this achievement requires you to reach the coordinates, standard proof should be provided. You should also provide a photograph or some other kind of proof showing that you brought someone to the geohash with you.

Winners

The following is a list of geohashers who have claimed the Drag-along achievement and added themselves below. For a complete list of pages containing this achievement ribbon, see Category:Drag-along achievement.

Multihash achievement

Template:Multihash

This user earned the Multihash Achievement by reaching the [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude1}}} {{{longitude1}}}]] and [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude2}}} {{{longitude2}}}]] geohashes on [[{{{date}}}]].

Template:Multihash2

This user earned the Multihash Achievement by reaching {{{count}}} hash points on [[{{{date}}}]]. It's Hash.

The Multihash achievement can be claimed when you successfully reach multiple geohashes in one day. The geohashes may not be retrohashes, as they must all share the same common date.

Earning this achievement could require geohashers to travel more than 150 miles in one day, or it could require next to no travel at all, depending on your location. For those only a few degrees from the equator, this achievement will prove quite difficult, as their graticules are larger in size. Conversely, those very close to the North or South Pole will find the achievement very easy, with the possibility of claiming 360 geohashes in a very short period of time. It is worth noting that both the equator and the Prime Meridian act as 'mirrors' for the geohash points, allowing for the possibility of two sharing an edge, and often resulting in two geohashes being less than a graticule's width/height away from each other.

If you visit multiple different geohashes at the same local time, often accomplished by travelling across timezones, you may qualify for the Time-traveller achievement. If you visit at least one geohash for multiple days in a row, you may qualify for the Consecutive geohash achievement.

Ranks

Template:Multihash2 allows users to input more than two geohashes as part of their Multihash expeditions, and will change the text of the ribbon accordingly. The terminology often used to describe Multihash expeditions, and thus, the rankings of the Multihash achievement, are as follows:

• Double Hash - Visit two geohashes on the same day.
• Triple Hash - Visit three geohashes on the same day.
• Ultra Hash - Visit four geohashes on the same day.
• MONSTER Hash - Visit five or more geohashes on the same day.

Proof

As this achievement requires you to reach the coordinates, standard proof should be provided. Since you are required to successfully reach multiple geohashes, you should ensure that all expeditions within your Multihash have the appropriate proof.

Winners

The following is a list of geohashers who have claimed the Multihash achievement and added themselves below. For a complete list of pages containing this achievement ribbon, see Category:Multihash achievement.

Walk geohash achievement

Template:Walk geohash

This user earned the Walk geohash Achievement by reaching the ({{{latitude}}}, {{{longitude}}}) geohash on [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude}}} {{{longitude}}}|{{{date}}}]] on foot.

The Walk geohash achievement can be claimed when you successfully reach a geohash completely on foot. You must begin your expedition from a place that is significant to you, and you must perform the entirety of your expedition by walking, jogging, or running. The usage of crutches or manual wheelchairs is also allowed. You may use any means of transportation to return from the geohash, so long as the journey there is entirely on foot.

It is considered not valid to stay overnight at a friend's house or to drive to and work at a satellite office with the sole intention of starting closer to the geohash itself, but if this happens to be the situation you find yourself in when attempting this achievement, you are still eligible to claim it. As with most achievements, there is an honour system in place, and it is expected that you will follow the restrictions of the achievement as best as you can. It is also considered to be not valid if you drive to the base of a mountain and then walk to the summit, even if you have to walk a significant distance to do so.

What Counts?

Running, climbing, scrambling, crawling, and taking turns giving piggybacks are all considered to be types of walking, and swimming across a body of water does not invalidate your Walk attempt. You cannot cycle, skateboard, kayak, take public transport, or accept a lift from anyone other than as a piggyback from a walking person. Snowshoeing or sliding down a snow-covered slope on an improvised sled does not invalidate your attempt, but you may not take both the Walk geohash achievement and the MacGyver achievement - either it was a vehicle, or it wasn't. Travelling partially or wholly by crutches or manual wheelchair does still qualify you for this achievement, even if someone pushes your wheelchair for part of the journey. If you were to drive to the home of another geohasher and then both walk from there, only the person whose house you started at earns the Walk geohash achievement, even though all participants walked the same distance.

Proof

As this achievement requires you to reach the coordinates, standard proof should be provided. You should also provide a photograph or track log of your route, demonstrating that it took place on foot.

Winners

The following is a list of geohashers who have claimed the Walk geohash achievement and added themselves below. For a complete list of pages containing this achievement ribbon, see Category:Walk geohash achievement.

Only the expedition with the longest total distance should be listed for each user, resulting in each user having only one listing. The list should also be sorted in descending order of total distance walked. Feel free to add expeditions shorter than your longest total distance to the Walk geohashes page.

Two to the N achievement

Template:Two to the N achievement

This user earned the Two to the N achievement by attempting to reach 2{{{count}}} hashpoints on [[{{{date}}} ]] and is promoted to Level {{{count}}} (Expeditions).

The Two to the N achievement can be claimed when you reach your 2ⁿth expedition or coordinates reached, either in general, in terms of global geohashes, or in terms or retro geohashes. This achievement can also be apllied to individual graticules, with the wording of the ribbon changing when applicable.

There are many different versions of the achievement ribbon, as listed below:

• Expeditions
• Coordinates Reached
• Global Expeditions
• Global Coordinates Reached
• Retro Expeditions
• Retro Coordinates Reached

Levels

The Two to the N achievement naturally has an in-built levelling system which aligns with the counting of N. The counting, and therefore levelling system, works as follows:

• 2⁰ - 1, claim this for the first occurance of whatever you're tracking.
• 2¹ - 2, claim this for the second occurance.
• 2² - 4.
• 2³ - 8.
• 2⁹ - 512, only 4 people have reached this number for their total expedition count! (2024-07-30)

When first tracking this achievement, geohashers will find the gap between unlocks to be rather short and simple. The difficulty of this achievement increases exponentially as N gets higher. If you wish to claim this achievement for when you reach the 100th occurance, you can input N as 6.64385, or you could use a Gratuitous ribbon achievement.

Proof

Where reaching the coordinates is required for your count, standard proof should be provided. As this achievement typically takes place over multiple expeditions, you should ensure that all expeditions within your Two to the N have the appropriate proof, if required.

Winners

Due to the nature of this achievement, displaying all of those who have claimed it on this page would take up an excessive amount of space. Instead, for a rough estimate of total counts (from which the Two to the N value can be inferred), see Most active Geohashers or other similar pages. For a complete list of pages containing this achievement ribbon, see Category:Two to the N achievement.

Frozen geohash achievement

Template:Frozen geohash

This user earned the Frozen Geohash Achievement by reaching the ({{{latitude}}}, {{{longitude}}}) geohash on [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude}}} {{{longitude}}}|{{{date}}}]] while the temperature was below the freezing point of water.

The Frozen geohash achievement can be claimed when you successfully reach a geohash at which the ambient temperature is below the freezing point of water (0°C/32°F). The geohash must be within close proximity to water in a frozen state. You may bring your own water and wait for it to freeze to meet this requirement. The temperature does not need to be below freezing for the entirety of your time at the geohash, but it must be below freezing when you measure it.

The recorded temperature must be that of the surroundings themselves. Taking the temperature of a portable cooler, ice pack, liquid nitrogen dewer, or any similar source of cold temperature is not a valid method for gaining this achievement. If the geohash happens to be positioned within a walk-in freezer which you are able to access, you may claim this achievement.

Proof

As this achievement requires you to reach the coordinates, standard proof should be provided. You should provide a photograph of water in a frozen state at the geohash. You should also provide a photograph of a thermometer showing a sub-freezing temperature or other persuasive evidence (such as frozen beards or eyelashes). The presence of snow or ice at the geohash is generally considered not to be sufficient proof for this achievement as these elements can remain in above-freezing temperatures.

Winners

The following is a list of geohashers who have claimed the Frozen geohash achievement and added themselves below. For a complete list of pages containing this achievement ribbon, see Category:Frozen geohash achievement.

xkcd centurion achievement

Template:xkcd centurion

This user earned the xkcd Centurion achievement by attending {{{count}}} Saturday meetups.

The xkcd centurion achievement can be claimed in its entirety when you attend 100 Saturday meetups. There are several intermediate steps available via the achievement ribbon to allow users to document their progress.

The definition of what counts as a Saturday meetup changes between individual geohashers. As such, the following definitions are all considered valid ways to earn this achievement:

• You successfully reach the Saturday geohash and are present at the designated meetup time. You do not need to meet another geohasher for this to be valid. The standard designated meetup time is 4pm, but some graticules have shifted their meetup times to align with regional conflicts such as daylight hours. This achievement recognises both of these options as valid.
• You meet at least one other person who is attempting to reach the geohash and is travelling independently to you. Neither of you need to actually reach the geohash for this to be valid.

Levels

This achievement is split into 10 steps preceding the final xkcd centurion achievement. These steps allow geohashers to track their progress as well as encourage them to continue to strive for the complete achievement. Each step is named as follows:

• 0-9 - Nullaturion
• 10-19 - Decurion
• 20-29 - Viginturion
• 30-39 - Triginturion
• 40-49 - Quadraginturion
• 50-59 - Quinquaginturion
• 60-69 - Sextaginturion
• 70-79 - Septaginturion
• 80-89 - Octaginturion
• 90-99 - Nonaginturion

Proof

Where reaching the coordinates is required for your count, standard proof should be provided. In all cases, you must provide some kind of evidence to prove that you met the requirements for the achievement. Whether that proof is a photograph with another geohasher or a screenshot of you at the geohash at the designated meetup time depends on the nature of your claim.

Winners

The following is a list of geohashers who have claimed the xkcd centurion achievement and added themselves below. For a complete list of pages containing this achievement ribbon, see Category:xkcd centurion achievement. The below list is separated into each different level of the achievement from most to least Saturday meetups attended.

Midnight geohash achievement

Template:Midnight geohash

This user earned the Midnight Geohash achievement by reaching the ({{{latitude}}}, {{{longitude}}}) geohash on [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude}}} {{{longitude}}}|{{{date}}}]] in the middle of the night.

The Midnight geohash achievement can be claimed when you successfully reach a geohash at exactly midnight. Due to when the coordinates are announced in certain areas of the world, this can be either 00:00 (the beginning of the day) or 24:00 (the end of the day). If possible, the former of the two is preferred, as 24:00 is actually just 00:00 the following day. You will be met with extra respect should your expedition be completed without the use of a light source.

Proof

As this achievement requires you to reach the coordinates, standard proof should be provided. You should also provide a screenshot or photograph demonstrating that the time is midnight while you are at the geohash.

Winners

The following is a list of geohashers who have claimed the Midnight geohash achievement and added themselves below. For a complete list of pages containing this achievement ribbon, see Category:Midnight geohash achievement.

Last man standing achievement

Template:Last man standing

This user earned the Last man/woman/person standing achievement by being the the only hasher world-wide to go on a geohashing expedition on [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude}}} {{{longitude}}}|{{{date}}}]].

The Last man standing achievement can be claimed when you successfully reach a geohash, and are the only person to report attempting to do so on that date. This achievement is not for being the only person to attempt a specific geohash, but is rather for being the only person in the entire world to attempt a geohash that day. If others attempt but fail to reach a geohash on the same day as you, you are not the only person to attempt a geohash, and are therefore not eligible for this achievement. You must both successfully reach a geohash and be the only person in the world to attempt any geohash on that day.

Multihashes are valid for this achievement, assuming you are the only person to take part in all of the expeditions. If others reach the same geohash as you, with or without you present, you are not eligible for this achievement. This includes drag-alongs, as you would not have been the only person to attempt a geohash on that day if you brought someone with you.

Checking Validity

To find out how many people attempted a geohash on a given day, you can head to the appropriate Category:Meetup on YYYY-MM-DD page. If you use Template:Graticule on your expedition report, a link to this page will be displayed at the bottom of your report. An example of this would be Category:Meetup on 2024-02-21, in which only one expedition took place, earning that geohasher the Last man standing achievement. Conversely, Category:Meetup on 2024-03-30 lists five expedition reports, meaning nobody earned this achievement on that day. It is considered standard practice to wait a week or so before claiming this achievement due to some expedition reports not being published on the day they took place. It is also possible that a report can be created after you have already claimed this achievement, which would then invalidate your prior claim.

Proof

As this achievement requires you to reach the coordinates, standard proof should be provided. No additional proof is required for this achievement, as it is easy to check via the wiki if the expedition was the only one to take place on that day.

Winners
