Seems legit to me.
10 points for squashing a bug.
10 points per bronze.
50 points per silver.

Hadn't taken in the bit about the extra points, sorry, bonus though!

No point in having trophies if you don't get something for them.

Is it possible for the trophies that have been awarded to not show up in the unclaimed section?
That would make it easier to see what I've got to work on.

Wow, that was fast. Incorporated while I was typing.

Now to get to work on that bacon cache.

That... is very cool.

...and a huge swag of points to boost to "Merchant"! Also got my first Gold Badge

FTF Trophy?! Or is that a little hard to regulate due to the manual claims?

Unloved Trophy? By Category?

FTF can be bogus, just to get the trophy (although I suppose anyone can bogus up anything).

Unloved would be nice. I'm going to have trouble determining the age of cache before your log. As I need to check every log made, ever (well since you started dragonZone), I need to get your FIND and the previous FIND and check the dates. Not impossible, but I'm not sure how intensive it will end up. It's on the list though.

If anyone else has suggestions, please make them.

I have 365days (and 366days) in the works as well as "Find all the Firsts" meaning you need to find cache on the first day of every month which might be a challenge. I also have "Have I seen you before" for a 2nd find and "3rd time lucky" for finding a cache the third time. I'm also looking into "The Biggest Loser" for 100 DNF's. Lots of ideas.

...and only another 900 or so more finds for that Blaze Badge. I'd better start saving up for petrol money.

Suddenly have motivation to hide the Podcache Ive been meaning to do for 4 years....

So why can't I see any trophies? I'm on 28pts, so I though I'd have a bronze by now. Can't see anywhere to 'update'

Trophy for ICEM finds?

When you go here:

You should see:
Awarded UPDATE
If you click UPDATE what happens?

Ah, problem spotted. I was looking here http://geocaching.com.au/my/dragonzone/points/trophy/

Gotcha.
Your points are private but your trophies are public, hence the two different areas for trophy information.

Are there actually any podcaches available? I did a quick search for some but found none. If there are any, are there any in Perth or WA?

None that I'm aware of. May be a trophy or two (hide and find) might encourage a few to be hidden and found.
