I had this once for a mystery of a friend, however, the Multi was 3,5 Miles long. The only way I could lay something usefull was to move the cache "virtually". Of course this is not in the guidelines and is certainly not approved by GC. However, I asked the owner of the cache in question, who has given me a green light. After a little diggin, I found out, that almost every fifth of all caches (except trady)in crowded areas are layed that way.

Some PMs are under the impression, that their cache survives longer, if it is a PMO cache. However, there are some "black sheep" everywhere.

I am currently laying a multi-cache and have to admit, that I find it difficult to do this the right way. For example, is there a way to disable a cache (not archiving it) directly after it is published? Reason: I am sure, that everything is in order, however, I am under the impression, that laying a multicache in "live"mode does not make sense, before it has been published. Occuring problems I encountered were that waypoints were to near to other waypoints of caches I didn't know about. (For example "Premium-Onlys"). So I have layed a track twice and was asked by the reviewer to find a differend location. So I gathered everything again and made a new one. For the one that might ask, I was walking the track before (and for now the waypoints are in place), and checked it for usability with two Beta-Testers (My Nephew[10] and my Brother [27]whom is not his father, anyway) So is there a practical way to disable a cache right after it has been published?

I didn't mean to "enforce" any rules, and at least in Germany, it is about competition, pretty much. What I basically ment was actually just for fun and for those, that need the competition in the mids of the competition.

A friend fo mine asked me, if I couldn't develop a game in a game in Geocaching, I am a massive-realworld-game-developer myself, so I thought this could not be that hard. After hours of mumbling under my beard, which i don't have, I came up with an idea. A cache-ralley. The rules are simple: It can be done either as a normal multi-cache, or as a competition with two- or more oposing geocachers. I made a round one for two teams, with the same start-coordinates for each Team. It is up to you, how you would like to desing yours and for how many teams you would desing it. All that counts is that all teams do have to consume the exact same distance. Well, although you might want to give someone a handycap, but that is up to you. So, if you, as I did, design your Cache-Rally as a circle for two teams, the teams do each waypoints only in another order, e.g upside down. Since both teams had the same startingpoint, the should all have the same endpoint, which is the startingpoint.So hide the final coordinates somewhere close, be creative. May the force be with you, always. What do you think of this, is that a good idea?
