Earliest geohasher achievement

From Geohashing
Revision as of 12:09, 19 May 2009 by imported>Benjw (First Geohasher moved to Earliest geohasher achievement: Renamed as discussed on the talk page.)

The Earliest Geohasher achievement can be claimed by submitting photographic (or otherwise digitally expressible) proof of being the first geohasher at an official (not alternate, not even if it's got 50 votes) geohashing meetup. The Earliest Geohasher achievement is only awarded for meetups where more than one geohasher shows up (and not someone who is travelling with you). As the single-geohasher exclusion was not stated prior to 2008-09-11, some awards have been granted for single-geohasher meetups; these awards are not to be revoked.

If you arrive prior to the official meetup time (4pm local time), you're expected to make a sign or otherwise prepare the area for other geohashers. While arriving late is not encouraged, if you plan to arrive early, but arrive late due to blizzards, volcanoes, or the like, you may qualify for the MNIMB achievement. (And you may qualify for both, if the weaker ones make it at all!)

Think of this ribbon as a reward for getting to the coordinates early and waiting patiently for stragglers to arrive. It's very rewarding to be there to welcome people when they arrive at a meetup.

If you are a participant at the first meetup (of any number of people) at official coordinates in a particular graticule ever, everyone at the meetup qualifies for the Virgin Graticule achievement.
