+Team Sieni Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 In the LQ thread Tiger Eyes suggested a TB to visit all LQ caches. I liked the idea so I thought a race might be in order. Tiger Eyes agreed, so here we go! So my proposal is to make this thread race HQ. Just release your TB with a mission to visit all of the LQ caches, and announce the fact on here. Obviously if you release it in a LQ cache you are giving it a good start, but that's not mandatory. I can't think any rules. Perhaps one rule against a cacher logging a TB in and out of one cache and heading off to another? (ie the bug must do all the legwork itself and must rest awhile in each LQ cache). What do you think? If we have more than a couple of takers I will periodically post a leader board (no of caches, distance travelled) to this thread, thus bumping it back up. Knowing the speed of most TBs it could be a loooooong race. Quote Link to comment

+Tiger-Eyes Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Excellent It looks as if only the final is a micro so if the TB's are kept at a reasanable size they should fit in all the caches (or allow a log in out rule if the cache is too small) Tiger Eyes goes off to fina a suitable TB Quote Link to comment

If, for instance, you visit 5 LQ caches in one day, whichever one you leave the TB in is the only one that the TB has visited. Quote Link to comment

+Team Sieni Posted December 6, 2007 Author Share Posted December 6, 2007 I will add the above (and any more that appear) to my list. Incidentally, back in the days when I thought someone might give a hoot what I think, I posted a short list of potential new features for the site on the main forum. Things like: fix the bugs in caches along a route ... One of my suggestions was to enable bookmark lists to contain any kind of GC.com entity - not just caches. So you could bookmark trackables (TBs in a race), cachers (maybe people planning to attend an event), logs, and so on. If I could bookmark trackables that's just what I'd do right now.

Cos there was that much faffing on the other quest about how fantastic a prize you would need, and it would be very expensive and posh and made of gold etc etc. So I thought I'd counter it with a micro - c'mon you wouldn't cache every county for some swaps would you?
