Re: Haastekätköjen julkaisu jäihin!
Tuonne sai kommentoida, joten laitoin omani:
[*]What do you like most about challenge caches?
There are so many caches in the world, so I like that you can "sort out" the caches you want to visit especially when you are travelling abroad. (Examples: favorite-points, D/T-combos, names, ...). The name "challenge" is of course "the thing" too. You have to challenge yourself, like getting all D:s or T:s in a day etc. It is fun to make the plans before the trip.
[*]What do you not like about challenge caches?
First of all: challenges that make you "I can't get that cache now because it does not fit". Like challenges where you have to find 111 mystery-caches in a row, no other caches between. Or where you have to "make a break" for a month or so or you have to spell your cache-name (no other caches between). Any challenge that restricts founds on other caches are not good. I don't like challenges like "caches in a row for 500 days", but that IS a challenge and I don't have to do that if I don't want to. It allows anyway to find as many caches as you want to.
[*]What would you like to see changed about challenge caches?
I would like to see a new icon for challenge-caches under mystery-caches. Like citos are a part of event-caches.
[*]If you could describe your favorite challenge cache type, what would it be?
It depends... Any challenge that is not fullfilled yet is fun
. Anything that does not restrict to find other caches.
[*]What types of challenge caches do you avoid?
The ones that need "250 caches in a row" or something. But that is only because I don't like it myself, the challenge is ok. I avoid challenges where you can not find caches "because if you find this, the challenge is ruined".

Re: Haastekätköjen julkaisu jäihin!
Tuosta tasan samaa mieltä. Haasteissa itsessään ei ole mitään vikaa, ellei niiden oleellinen sisältö ole se, ettei haastetta voi suorittaa siksi, että on löytänyt jonkin jollain tavalla harvinaisen kätkön (kuten lähiseudun ainoan virtuaalin tai webcamin) jo aikaisemmin. Lähinnä kettuilulta tuntuvat myös sellaiset haastekätköt, joissa haasteen suorittamiseen hyväksytään vain ennen haastekätkön julkaisua julkaistut kätköt, koska vuosien mittaan haasteen suorittaminen muuttuu yhä vaikeammaksi, kun sallittuja kätköjä menee arkistoon eikä uusia tule tilalle.Black_Island kirjoitti:[*]What do you not like about challenge caches?

Tähänhän tällä tuskin viitattiin, mutta esimerkin omaisesti voisi huomauttaa, että vastuulliset haasteentekijäthän tarkkailevat tällaisia asioita ja varautuvat toimimaan tilanteen mukaisestiNH82 kirjoitti:Lähinnä kettuilulta tuntuvat myös sellaiset haastekätköt, joissa haasteen suorittamiseen hyväksytään vain ennen haastekätkön julkaisua julkaistut kätköt, koska vuosien mittaan haasteen suorittaminen muuttuu yhä vaikeammaksi, kun sallittuja kätköjä menee arkistoon eikä uusia tule tilalle.
Tämä olisi kyllä erittäin hyvä idea. Jos ikoni vaihtuisi täysin muuksi olemassaoleviinkin haasteisiin, niin huonosti kävisi niille mysteereihin liittyville hasteille, joiden suorittamiseen on käyttänyt haasteita. Näin sen ehkä voisi välttää.Black_Island kirjoitti:I would like to see a new icon for challenge-caches under mystery-caches. Like citos are a part of event-caches.
Täytynee itsekin runoilla jossain vaiheessa palautetta tuonne
