+kamic Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Allow people to group for finds. so if myself and mrpeanut go caching, on the post it would say 'kamic and mrpeanut' found <cache name> or some form of party caching! Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 As a cache owner, I'd rather see kamic write a long log explaining how much trouble it was to find the cache, and then see mrpeanut write a log saying how everyone spotted the cache right away and laughed at kamic for overlooking the obvious. Good group logs play off of one another. They are a delight to read. Logs that say "One of many for our group during a run through the area, TFTC" are not as delightful. I worry that the group logs would read more like that cookie cutter example. I spent hours creating a cache experience for you. Could you please take two minutes to write a sentence all on your own to let me know what you thought of my cache? Thanks. Link to comment
+Cache O'Plenty Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Concur with The Leprechauns. Even if a group hunt occurs, I'd like to see what each of them (each Account holder) has to say in the logs. There's too much cut/paste already. Plus, each one gets credit for the find. Link to comment

I'm thinking there will never be any kind of cookie-cutter logging option, be it for individuals or groups. Link to comment

+Lasagna Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I like cookie cutters -- for cookies! Not so much for caches. The other issue I see with a "group" logging is I don't want someone else to be able to "log" a found-it note on my behalf. Only I can determine which caches I want to log as found or not found. When I cache with a partner or in a group, we frequently play off one another's logs. If one of us tells all that's to be told, then maybe the other person will log a "yeah ... what he said" log, but usually there's always something to add. When on a cache run, I use split log technique -- the first paragraph of my log is a "cookie cutter" cut/paste (... on a cache run with so and so, #x of y, etc.) and then followed by a second unique paragraph citing what I found interesting about this particular cache or hunt (unless of course it was a lame LPC or something in which case you might just get a TFTC).

+SgtSue Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I also agree (didn't say concur as I don't want Lep to say I used a cookie cutter). The only thing better than a well written log is several well written logs laughing at their buddies who were all at the cache together. Sometimes I feel like the straight man of my group, I'll write a paragraph or two only to have my buddy 1more come in and write two sentences that turns my log into the setup for her joke. Put in ScienceNerd's comments and you wonder if we were even able to find our way back to our respectable homes. Link to comment
+trainlove Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Who, of the group, gets to compose the one and only log? If you are part of a certain group often enough then make a username to that effect. How about group premium membersips, LOL. Link to comment
