One of the fun things about reviewing in a Wayfarer Challenge is getting to see new places and the best sites being showcased by the community with their examples of candidates that encourage exploration, social interaction, or exercise.
Since I cannot review in this event, I was hoping people who could review would share some of the nominations they are reviewing!
Comments
..........
Thats my reviews so far 🤣🤣🤣
Are you reviewing, @NianticTintino? Could you share some of your fun finds?
Hi @Gendgi-PGO,
I've been reviewing on my personal account but since I didn't have home/bonus locations in Brazil nor have I recently played there I'm just reviewing ones local to me. I have been checking it out here and there on my admin account but only to make sure things are going smoothly.
If you had reset everyones hometown we could all be reviewing in Brazil, including you. But thanks for helping out with a few reviews regardless 😂. Just an idea... If this wasn't a global participation event... Why limit the event only to Brazil? Why couldn't this truly been a global event where we can all earn extra rewards regardless of where we are... Or maybe host multiple locations and not just 1 country.
If you see anything exciting on the admin account, please do share! P.S. I love footbridges, piers/docks, scenic viewpoints, and (of course) MURALS!
But you voted for "Yes" in the "Will you participate?" poll :C
I think you're all missing the big take away here:
Tintino has been reviewing with multiple accounts 😛
😂😂😂 let's make sure it's clear; multiple accounts = personal (1 account) and my work account (1) lol
We'll report him to Giffard. Actions will come.
😩😩😩 haha
Well @NianticTintino can you manually review Wayspots if someone sends a post that this nomination was declined and appeals during the Wayfarer Challenge?
There's no appeals for nominations yet... Even if the system would allow him to do that, it's not something he is supposed to do, unfortunately.
@NianticTintino I don't expect you to share screenshots or anything, but your comment did get me curious - when you're reviewing using the admin account, do you have the same Wayfarer layout we all have (except for maybe with a few extra buttons/options that we don't have because we aren't Niantic staff members), or do you get a completely different interface/system when using that account?
One thing that might surprise (in a bad way) some people is some of the curches they will find, such as this one:
Although extremely unimpressive, it's very common for churches to be like this in Brazil (ie, a completly unremarkable building).
Is wayfarer a profession? I need a work account, too xD
a LOT of small protestant denominations churches/temples are like that and by a lot a mean most of them. Catholic churches tend to be, mostly, more "church like"
can i share the fakes and/or abusive ones i'm getting?
Oh are you? Sure, those are fun!
constantly. Some places have a lot of fakes approved, unfortunaly. Last crappy candidates were a public light post and a fake bird inside a rural private property.
will bring the best and the worst i find, now that i know there's curiosity.
Exactly. And to be clear, as they are churches, they are eligible, even if they look like a generic business or even a house.
Honestly, these "churches" are basically the best submissions you're gonna find. The rest is basically low-effort couch stop attempts
Living in Brazil, I often see a lot of churches I had no idea existed when going around in pokémon go, so it makes sense that wayfarer would show them aplenty. There's also a lot of graffiti, some playgrounds and sports courts, stuff like that. Sometimes, there's a piece of graffiti that is part of a business entrance, and it starts getting iffy. Then you have the generic natural objects and mass produced items in squares, and then there's the ones that are in private property, likely trying for a stop at home. There are others, but these are the most common. Just got one that was a pitch-black picture saying "my house" and asking for more stops.
Not doing many reviews so far but here is a fake candidate.
