    Cointest for Thanksgiving

    in Trackables

    Posted

    I am thankful that my wife and daughter have started going to church with me and are considering converting. We now go to church as a family and this couldnt be a better time of year to express this. I would like to wish all the posters a Happy Thanksgiving.

    How are they thumbing their noses at you if the activity is not required?

     

    Required or requested, I asked them to perform the activity. Refusing to do so but insisting that they be allowed the find anyway is, to me, akin to thumbing their nose. You may wish to call it something which sounds less rude and I'm certain that most of those folks don't want to use that terminology (some probably do), but that's what it looks like to me.

     

    ;) AMEN

    A micro for large trade items?

    I've seen and found caches that contained a second "bonus cache". The second find was optional and in no way affected how you logged the find on the cache page, nor did it count as a second find.

     

    I think as long as you follow that framework you would be okay. But check with your reviewer as they may have concerns.

    I like the bonus cache option, even though I suck at puzzles this would be one that I would probably try

    I wonder how many hypocrites will go out and log ALR caches, just because they can and not have their logs deleted. I suck at puzzles but I wouldnt rejoice them going the same way ALR caches have been watered down. how many people would solve the puzzle if it was optional? how many puzzle cache hiders would keep pushing the envelope with their puzzles if cachers DIDNT HAVE to solve them?

    Groundspeak missed the call on this one :blink:

    You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

    hyp⋅o⋅crite

       /ˈhɪpəkrɪt/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [hip-uh-krit] Show IPA

    –noun

    1. a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, esp. a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.

    2. a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, esp. one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements.

     

    My opinion is that if you didnt want to do what the cache owner wanted to make the cache fun or interesting when it was manadatory it seems a little hypocritical to do it when its optional but the cache owner still has the same intent. I dont have a lot of experience with ALR caches and havent seen any that had ridiculous requirements but I either would find the cache and log it the way the owner intended or I wouldnt do it at all.

    I'm puzzled. How would the behavior you describe be hypocritical? Hypocrisy would be somebody who publicly supported ALR caches going out and logging one without performing the requested action. Is that what you meant?

     

    I think if you didnt do this cache because of the ALR and now that its optional you l find it to get the smiley

    Challenge Caches

    so someone could find it without completing the challenge but you would have to delete the log if they dont meet the requirements, I want to put some cool stuff in it but we've had a problem of people taking TBs and coins out of caches so I think for at least the first few finders Ill have themm send me there info. I think I can have some fun with this.

    ***MY FIRST TIME*** COINTEST

    I already owned a GPSr (Magellan Explorer 200) when I came home from vacation and happened to read about geocaching in the Sunday paper, they interviewed a local cacher. I thought this would be something to use my GPSr for, I hadnt used it for much a 200 is a pretty basic gps. So I logged on and lo and behold there was a cache within 1/4 mile so off we went my daughter and I spent about 30 minutes looking for the cache. We couldnt understand why the cache wasnt right where the GPSr said ground zero was, finally found about 20 feet away. We've been hooked ever since
