Will there be a Community Celebration Event badge in Badgegen?

Question

We notice the old Lost and Found Event badge seems to have disappeared. Are there plans to add a new Community Celebration Event badge in Badgegen?

Answer 1

There is an addon for attending Community events, achievable on the Geocacher badge at any level. See https://project-gc.com/w/The_Geocacher

Answer 2

Right now we are not implementing Community Celebration Events as a badge, although the artwork would be there. There are two reasons for not implementing them at the moment:

1. It is very hard to balance. We do not know how many CC-Events there will be this year and they are very unevenly spread (many many across central Europe and the Us, but far less across the rest of the world). So it might be super easy for some but very hard for many cachers to get this badge up.

2. They are loggable only every 10 years, and it is hard to predict how everything will evolve.

There is, however, the Community Celebration AddOn to the Geocacher badge (any level): https://project-gc.com/w/The_Geocacher

Comments

I think an addon makes much more sense than a complete badge for something that is only loggable every tenth year.

There's currently seven CC-Events published in New Zealand (with at least one more that I know of still to be worked on).

@bruzie: thanks! It has been a while that I checked. I removed the part from my answer, still: it is far less than in Central Europe. :)
