Talk:Towel Day achievement

From Geohashing

There's a lot of support, and it now has a ribbon. Someone want to move it to new achievements?

I only just discovered this now, looking through old expeditions of mine... I also support, and I'm going to go ahead and move it. Wish me luck... -- OtherJack (talk) 04:52, 17 September 2013 (EDT)
Done. Feel free to give yourself this ribbon, if you qualify! -- OtherJack (talk) 05:19, 17 September 2013 (EDT)
  • Support - Not much else to say, but I like the idea of it. -Haberdasher 17:18, 18 June 2012 (EDT)
  • Support - I like holiday achievements that get people to go geohashing. The more random, the better. -- relet 20:19, 18 June 2012 (EDT)
  • Support - Would like to see this make it in this week, for the 2013 conjunction. --Thomcat (talk) 00:42, 21 May 2013 (EDT)
  • Support - Since I came to the woods with a towel on 2013-05-25 49 8 to ... well ... test the achievement ;) - Mampfred (talk) 12:00, 25 May 2013 (EDT)
  • Support - it's a nice twist, and above all, the hash will fall on the beach at 52,4 next year instead of far away into the sea. Palmpje (talk) 04:16, 26 May 2013 (EDT)
  • Support - I had a towel with me for the 2013 hash in 2013-05-25 52 -1 as it just seemed the right thing to do. Next year it would be nice to have a suitable achievement for that. Nickholden (talk) 06:43, 11 June 2013 (EDT)

Expanding the Achievement

Taken from Talk:Valentine's achievement.

Moved to Holiday achievement.

Suggestion to expand this achievement to a general Holiday achievement that requires you to go geohashing on that holiday and in the spirit of that holiday. With the current achievement, this would be bringing a towel with you for Towel Day. It could also include things such as bringing a date on Valentine's Day, singing the national anthem on the national holiday, dressing up for Halloween, etc.

This would consist of adding additional categories to the achievement to specify the holiday and the activity carried out, but would not remove any previous claims of the Towel Day achievement. --KerrMcF (talk) 00:47, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

  • Support --Fippe (talk) 09:31, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
  • I'm quite fond of the Towel Day achievement and would be sad to see it go. This sounds more like an entirely new achievement, which I would support. --π π π (talk) 17:20, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Noted, and moved (again) to Holiday achievement. I'll transfer your votes over there on both of your behalves. --KerrMcF (talk) 23:21, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
