Attributes for events are differnt to the normal set

[+Delta68]

With the weather forecast not looking too good for tomorrow, I was going to add the 'May Require Wading' attribute as a joke. However, it's not available for events?

Events are sometimes set on top of mountains but you can't specify Scenic view or Significant hike

 

Why is this?

What's the reason for having a reduced set of attributes available for events?

 

 

 

Thanks

Good question. I've been to events that required a significant and one that required a boat. On the other hand attributes shouldn't be used as a joke. Too many people are starting to do this and it dilutes the value of the attributes.

"starting" !!!

I'd bet the percentages of idiots has remained fairly constant - right from the get-go with attributes there were those who thought the snowmobile/no snowmobile attribute (Florida) was the cleverest thing. And scuba! lordy.

Last several times I checked, there wasn't a single cache with the scuba attribute in the 3 SE US states that required scuba. And most of them are terrain 1 PnG.
