I like music hash.

I think it could be fun. IMO the proof should be an audio (or even video) recording of the music performed. --12:33, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

I think we should have a few less rigidly defined achievements that people can customize. A general one for "other transportation" that could be customized for skiing, for you. A general one for unexpected things found at the geohash, that could be customized for llamas, for me. A general one for costume: spider-man, metal hash, whatever people treasure. -Robyn 09:53, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

The objections that were raised against skiing geohash;

a) that it wasn't unique enough to distinguish it from a walk geohash - I disagree with this, it's not the same at all.

b) that the whole distance should be covered on skis, to make it analogous to the walk and bicycle geohash. I somewhat agree, but it would also make the achievement so much harder that there wouldn't be much point in having them at all. That's why I haven't pushed the matter further, but if I or someone else ever does an all-skiing geohash, I will. It would be hard to draw the line anywhere else, though. I personally consider it a skiing geohash if I skii for longer time than I drive, but OTOH I don't think skiing geohashes should have any advantage over the other manual modes of transport. I'm not sure if I should complain about long distances or just be happy I live in a relatively small graticule, but really, it is hard to get anywhere from my location.

Anyway, I think there is room for more achievements, even silly ones. However, I won't be adding any of my own ideas until they are accepted by the community in general. I also think some could be removed until proven (MacGyver), as well as the ones that can retroactivelly be revoked (Last Man Standing). Costume geohash is a good idea. --12:33, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
