MISSION: The Witch's Coin Chain Mission!

[+Nochipra]

Ok everyone here is a new suprise ongoing mission that you can particpate in. I have activated a 2008 Walpurgis Event Witch geocoin http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.as...32-eac841f75173 and her mission is to fly to different cachers mailboxes accompanyed by another coin on that recipient's seeking list or on their heart's desire list. Once you receive the two coins you get to keep the coin that the witch brings you but you MUST forward the witch coin to the next person who is willing to participate (who's name should be within the posts on this thread). Please post here that you are willing to participate and whether your name and address are in the on line address book that has been posted here on the forum (here is that thread http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...=175199&hl= . Once there are enough people who have posted that they would like to particpate I will pick a name by random number generator for the FTR (FIRST TO RECEIVE) . That person will receive a coin off their seeking list or heart's desire list and another random coin that I choose. I hope you all have fun with this new ongoing mission

[+ThePetersTrio]

Sorry I haven't had my coffee yet....but what if I don't have a coin off the next recipient's seeking or heart's desire list? I guess I'm not clear on how this works yet.

Good question ?

 

Yes.

 

I am in the address thingy!

[+gardengorilla]

OoOoh! I would LOVE to do this but we are moving beginning of September so it would either have to be right away or after then. It could be my first mission in Australia! How long does this mission go on?

[+Ble68]

I'm in! My address is in the book.

[+usyoopers]

Count us in, we are in the address book.

[+OwlCacher]

Sounds cool! My address is listed.

[+DresselDragons]

Count us in...we're in the book

[+Sparticus06]

Sounds cool. But like others, I have either no coins to pass along or I dont have something desired at that moment. So can it be a random coin?

If so, then yes, I am in.

In the address book too.

[+grodan & fiabus]

I´m in. This sounds like fun. Lets just hope my missionperson has something on their seekinglist I have in my box to send to them.

 

I´m in the adresslist also.

[Theotokos]

So, just to see if I have the concept correct.

 

If 100 folks sign up and it takes about 2 weeks for the package to get to each person...it may take almost 2 years for the last person to get a coin - and I'm guessing that last person needs to send it all back to you Nora?

 

So basically that would make it a mail TB. If everyone 'grabbed' the coin from the previous location would that be considered wrong? It would be cool to see the mileage and maybe some photos along the way. Or maybe it would it be cool to add a traveling log book along with the coin too?

[+LionsLair]

never done a mission, but it does seem confusing on how it works... could you be a bit more specific about it before I say yay or nay?

[+mousekakat]

Hmmm, maybe a cutoff of 20 people per coin and send out more than one?

 

Just a thought!

I guess it depends on the intent....I think it would be cool to have it go on indefinitely with mileage and photos but then I'm not sure everyone would actually have a chance to get involved - at least not in the very near future.

[+GeoKs]

We'd be up for this and our addy is in the book. But we have the same question - what if we don't have one of the coins on the next participant's seeking list?

[+ECplus3]

We're in the mission and the address book!

 

Hmm. Anyone with a Delft Blauw coin signed up?

[+Geo-Gophers]

Ditto to all of the above..........

[+Nochipra]

Ok, I can see the problem with a coin that is on someone's seeking list or heart's desire list (what I mean by heart's desire list is the people who have posted a coin or coins they desire in that thread), so I'll change it to just a random coin that you can send along with the witch's coin that you think someone would like (but I would prefer if you can find a coin on a seeking list or heart's desire list first even if you have to trade for it just like you would a regular mission). If you are going to trade for the mission please post here that you are doing so and it may take a little more time to get the coins out. As for the limit of people who will receive the coin, I was just going to make this a continuing mission that could go on forever. I'm just doing this as an experiment first and then if I see it is going well I may send out more coins in the future.

 

When you recieve the coin please post it like this to this thread:

 

Received The Witch's Coin Chain Mission: (give date)

 

What you received with the Witch's Coin: (please post pics)

 

Have a coin I can send immediately: Yes or No

 

Am in the process of trading for a coin for the Mission: (approx. how long it will take to complete the trade)

 

Witch's Coin Mission is Sent: (give date)

 

As long as the mission is sent to the next person in a reasonable amount of time that is ok with me. If you all can think of anything else just let me know. Also as far as the icons go, what I would like is for you to dip the coin in a cache and then retrieve it before sending it to someone else so that you can get the icon similar to the Sisterhood and Brotherhood of the Traveling Cache Bug I sent out. I want this to be fun and something everyone can look forward to receiving. It will be the neverending mission

sent my name in for the address book.

 

Cool Idea!

[+The Fossillady]

I'll give it a go, my name is already in the book.

[+Taubin_ZL2TOY]

I'll give it a go

[+stellarscapes]

Please add my name to the mission list.

 

My name is in the address book.

[+Cheesy pigs]

Sounds like fun! My name is on the list....

[57chevy]

I haven't done any missions for awhile, Count me in. I'm on the list. ALSO.... my seeking list is horrendously out of date. I am not terribly picky, but am a huge tiki fan. I'll be pleased with most anything sent.

[+wutzebear]

I'm in! My name is in the book too.

[Theotokos]

We're in too..

[+Sparticus06]

Ok next question, how will we know who to send it to next? or will it just be a random name we pick to send it too (from the list of names in this thread)?

Edited July 1, 2008 by Sparticus06

[+bluecherry]

I'm in I will put my name in the book.

[+Nochipra]

It can be sent to a random person (but preferably to someone who has said they would like to participate in this thread). It should be easier to get their address too since most have said they are in the forum address book. Just please send it to someone you know is responsible enough to get the coins to the next recipient in a reasonable amount of time.

[+Solan109]

Why not have a last sign-up date and then enclose all the participating geo.nicks with the cons ?

I think it would be easier that way.

[+Nochipra]

Well, there are already quite a few names listed already that want to participate so I will give it until Wed. July 2 at 9:00 EST (I will probably be out late Tues night so I will make it Wed. night) and then I will pick a name for the FTR (First To Receive). You will not know you have been chosen as the FTR until you receive the coins in the mail. I'll announce the cut off time as it gets closer but after that I will continue to let people say that they would like to participate in this thread so that when a person receives the coins they know who is interested in getting it next and who is willing to send it along to the next person. Please do not sign up to receive it if you are not going to be responsible enough to keep it going within a reasonable amount of time. If this works well then I will more than likely send out at least two more of these coins as #2 and #3 to increase the chances for more to participate.

Edited July 1, 2008 by Nochipra

[lorca.nl]

is it maybe possible that the first one put a little note by the coins and that everybody who recieved the mission also put his/her name on the note so that we can see who had it??

 

and how long can we keep the coin, what is the time limit to send it to someone else??

 

can`t wait to read all the witch story`s

[+Nochipra]

If everyone wants to sign the letter I will be sending with the coin that expanations how the mission works, that will be fine and then people can add paper to the log as needed. If you have a coin that you can send to the next person in your possession then please try to send it out within a week of receiving it otherwise if you are doing a trade to get the next recipient a coin on their seeking list or one of their heart's desire coins then I think two weeks is a resonable amout of time to complete the trade and get the coins out to the next person. Everyone wants a chance to receive this mission and it would not be fair to hold on to it since others would be waiting to receive a coin they would like. Just please keep in mind that I am doing this as a test and if I see that people are not sending it out within a reasonable time then I will not release the other witch coins I planned to send out like this one so more can enjoy the missions.

[+kdv]

I'm in, and my name is in the address book.

I guess we could also pick the person to send the coin to next based on the coins we have available. So you simply pick someone that desires a coin that you happen to have (or otherwise do a trade, I think it's much nicer to see that someone has gone to the trouble of finding a coin you actually are yearning for, instead of sending out a random coin).

[+hollora]

I hesitated as I was afraid I might not have a coin someone wanted but if we can choose who to forward the coin to along with the coin they really want - that works!

 

Count me in on this mission. My name is on the list. Thank you Nochipra!

[+RifleMan81]

I'm in, and I'm trying to get added to "THE LIST".

[+RifleMan81]

Anyone know of a good FREE coin list where I can show traders and seekers?
