[+TrailGators]

Sorry, I still don't understand.

Some people never will...

You have a perfect analogy, but you are unable to explain it?

You over analyze things. Read what has been written. Use your imagination. It is all in fun!

I DID use my imagination and have fun. Didn't you see this?

Unfortunately, the great Obi-Wan has left us, but his ghost remains and guides us. Yoda is in hiding, so we must locate him so we can learn. I myself am not yet a Jedi but I am trying....

Unfortunately, the great Obi-Wan has left us, but his ghost remains and guides us.

That's actually a clever bit of misdirection. Obi-Wan didn't get killed by DV, He moved to Georgia and changed his name to Mtn-Man.

The "Force" he was always preaching about in his movies is simply your FQ, Fun Quotiant.

The expression, "Use the Force", means, "Have Fun".

 

(at least, that's how Yoda explained it to me)

The way I see it, geocaching is entering the era of the The Empire Strikes Back. Will the outcome be the same?

[Mushtang]

None of the changers have left the site so how things are apparently is good enough.

Actually this was a point of contention last night. I can't believe that some people can't fathom that some people have moved on from caching because of YKWs. When you list up the most logical reasons that people would quit that would certainly one of them. Plus I know people that have admitted it to me (I didn't have a tape recorder so you are going to have to just believe me ).

 

Fixed.

 

Okay, so they've moved on. So what? Are we hurting for people so much that when people leave we have to find out why they're leaving and change the game to suit them?

 

If we eliminated LPCs in order to keep these people from leaving, or to bring them back, what about the people that enjoy numbers runs that would get upset about the lack of LPCs and leave? I know of dozens of people that would leave in this situation, but don't ask me to document them or give you any proof since that's not really required for claims like these.

Show me one post where I said that... You guys just love making things up. Did you ever read Don Quixote? You are definitely chasing windmills...

"I'm very embarrassed, General Solo, but it seems you are to be the main course at a banquet in my honor."

 

(I'm not sure why we're using Star Wars references, so I thought I'd throw one in there too.)

Star Wars captures the essence of my position. Plus it was a fun way for me to explain it. I would like people to feel "The Force" and become Jedi cache hiders or at least try.... By the way, have you seen Chewbacca?

Your position on geocaching is that a farm boy from a fringe planet will find himself involved in a war between the Imperialists and the Rebel Alliance? That's interesting.

There are a lot of parallels. BTW, why is it when you are around, I hear this slow hollow breathing sound like there is a mic in your helmet?

Mtn-man never told you what happened to your father, did he? TrailGators..... Jar Jar is your father!

 

Hi meesa son! Meesa been wanting to telling you for longo time.

At least we're still on topic -- talking about micros.

[+KBI]

... lame micros.

[+TrailGators]

Anyhow, before you guys diverted everything (post 357), we had an interesting analogy going the right direction. The concept of a Jedi when it comes to caching is basically what CR said: someone that mazimizes fun. I think that people that hide caches that make several must-do or favorites lists are Jedis because they have learned how to maximize fun. I am not yet a Jedi. I have made a few favorites lists but I'm not quite there....yet. I will continue to try. I do know that hiding YNWs will never make me or anyone a Jedi. If it ever does then the Empire has fallen.

With multiple privates, who cares if they are tiny? As a supporter of thinking outside of the box, I see this as an extreme advantage.

See, obviously since there were no off topic Star Wars posts prior to Order 66, I mean, to Post 357, it wasn't possible to understand that those in the Empire are trying to wipe out micro caches, and those in the Rebellion are trying to save them for the thousands of people that enjoy them.

[+TrailGators]

...those in the Empire are trying to wipe out micro caches, and those in the Rebellion are trying to save them for the thousands of people that enjoy them.

Once you quit hallucinating with your totally inaccurate perception of the truth, you'll realize that "The Force" is that which inspires one to hide funner caches. I've already explained a Jedi a couple of times but obviously some people are slow learners.... Edited July 9, 2007 by TrailGators

The cool thing aout geocaching is that there are so many different facets. Some people want to be the first to find. Some people are into travel bugs and geocoins. Some are into big numbers of finds. I know people who have tried to find 100 caches in a day!

 

I like finding interesting locations with history or views. I guess the micros are for people who like high numbers. I am glad they are there for them. My personal cache is an easy find. I placed it there near a coffee house that has the best coffee I have ever had. I don't advertise the place, but I hope pople are in the area and decide to try a cup. It is a mindless easy find though. If you like coffee it is a treasure.

I travel a lot. I would like to be able to walk from my hotel and find a cache if I'm on a trip. If someone had been thinking of hiding a micro cache then their choce would be to hide it or not. It sounds like if Darth Vader has his way then their choice would be to hide a "creative" cache (non-LPC, or YQW, or whatever you're calling them these days) or nothing. So they might choose nothing since all they really wanted to do was place an LPC, and now I won't be going caching that night since I happen to be without transportation.
