+Stormstaff Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 What is a muggle? I believe it's someone that finds and destroys caches. Normally just stumbling upon them. Quote Link to comment

+The Leprechauns Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 What is a muggle? I believe it's someone that finds and destroys caches. Normally just stumbling upon them. I don't agree with this definition. It's too narrow and too inclusive at the same time. A "Muggle" is anyone who isn't a geocacher, and doesn't know what we're up to while we're looking behind rocks and in hollow logs. The vast majority of muggles are just people enjoying the park for frisbee and picnics, or walking their doggle down the rail trail, or waiting for the bus right across the street from the urban micro you're trying to find. They don't, by definition, "find and destroy caches." "Watch out for muggles" means more than "don't let someone destroy the cache;" it means "don't look suspicious so that people are bothered by your presence and behavior." While it is true that caches can be "muggled" when found by a muggle, other caches are intentionally destroyed by "geocachers gone bad." We need a different term for these non-accidental actions. Renegade Knight came up with the best one: "maggot." Quote Link to comment
cloudyboy Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 im agree with leprechaun a muggle is someone that find a cache by surprise and sometime he or she can destroy it but sure muggle sometime do nothing to cache(hopefully) Quote Link to comment
Kyul_and_Carbon Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I don't agree with the idea that a muggle is in seek and destroy mode. I take it as a person who is not a cacher and could possibly take notice of what you are doing. Drawing attention to yourself increases the chances of when you walk away, a muggle will come and try to figure out what you were doing. Even if they find it tho, it doesn't mean they'll destroy it.

+The Leprechauns Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Some muggles become geocachers when they accidentally discover a cache, or if a geocacher explains the game to them. I like those muggles. We were all muggles once. Quote Link to comment
