paganfrog Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 In response to a very new discussion (see here) - and also because I felt like giving away another coin, but cannot choose who to give it to I set up this cointest to see just how low and cheesy people can get with begging for this coin. Beg, creep or just give me a sob-story that is so cheesy its extra mature Stilton, and more cheesy than cheesy McCheese the cheese master from Cheddar! The rules are simple...ahem...brace yourselves! 1. This cointest will last for a week, (until midnight of the 7th calendar day after this post) 2. The coin will be activated by me, and then released into a nearby cache and ONLY THEN adopted over to the whiner (of course I meant winner....but eeeh...as the cap fits!) 3. DO NOT join in if you already have one of these coins, or if you are so brand new we don't know you. You must have had at least one transaction which shows a genuine intent to become a geocacher rather than just raiding for trinkets. 4. You can make as many entries as you want to (what have I let myself in for!??! ) 5. The winning whiner will be chosen by my muggle husband - because I'm in a mean mood! so yah boo sucks to him!

+pghlooking Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 So you start a cointest that I can't win unless I whine, which I am refusing to do. Then if I were to win, you won't even let me decide what to do with my coin. No. Instead you will activate and adopt it to me. I can't even pick what cache this coin goes into or if it goes at all. It's my coin so what gives you the right to decide what I do with my coins? How unfair is that? You have my coin in your possession and still I can't even get you to release it. Now you will give my coin to someone else. That just plain sucks. I can't believe you are like that. I quit and will never post here again. Thanks alot. This will be my last post evah!!!!

+RifleMan81 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) THis is a funny contest. It's raining and I have to walk a mile to my car because I can't afford the high rates at the parking lots closer to my work. I have to work to pay for my house and new truck and life sucks, you know? So anyway, I really can't afford your new coin so I thought I'd just ask for one. So how about it? Just joking of course. Should I win a coin, I will happily donate it to the youth of our country so they can learn the joys of geocoin hoarding, err I mean collecting. Sick babies in hospitals, 3 legged dogs, broken down cars, jobless Wall Street investors, the list goes on but you get the point. Edited November 7, 2008 by RifleMan81 Link to comment

We will see. Love it!! Link to comment

QuigleyJones Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 My sob-story starts during a dark and dreary and not to mention wet night. The start was 9:05pm yesterday to be exact. I had just returned from my scout troop meeting and was dead tired. But upon going online I see that there are two new caches placed and agonizing 5km too far away, however being the cacher I am, I partnered up and drove all the way, wasting all that gas. It was of course pitch black when we were searching and after maybe 15mins at the first cache I decided to look where my partner and declared there was no cache and low and behold I had wasted all that time scrounging in the dark. We get the FTFs but uncomprehendingly the placer put a non-trackable geocoin (Landsharkz Halloween) as the FTF prize which I grudgingly took and left a geocoin of my own. So I could really use a trackable geocoin to lift my spirits after such a disappointing night. Link to comment
+Team FIREBOY Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 A complaining cointest??? WooHoo Okay here goes... I am stuck in Australia. I want to be home in cold snowy Wyoming. I want to be sitting on my arse instead of being out in the bright warm horible sun and fresh air seeing Koalas and roos. .. Oh man... I just can't bring myself to lie.. I am having a fantastic time and I have absolutely nothing to whine about. Life couldn't be better! Jodes Link to comment

+C A Royal Flush Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) I spent so much money on geocoins this month that now I can't afford wine and cheese, so I guess now I'm a whino Will trade coins for wine. Cork required. Edited November 7, 2008 by C A Royal Flush Link to comment
+burgessfour Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 This thread feels sad and belittling, not at all what I've become used to in my short time here on the geocoin forums. Where is Geo.Error and her smiles? Link to comment

+darnjoeSNARG Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Why does it seem like the geocoin community folks aren't so happy these days? Seems like the board has become very negative lately. I'm not all sunshine, but geez! I thought the cointest was a funny idea and was looking forward to some real whining. Link to comment
+swfirefly Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Oh great! ANOTHER coin contest I can't possibly win! I am new around here, so I guess that means I'm too new to even enter. No one ever even notices me. Watch, I bet nobody even replies to this!! It isn't fair. I could really use something to cheer me up right now. I nice brand new geocoin would do the trick, but I know I don't stand a chance. I just go become a lurker again. There, are you happy now!? You made me sad! Link to comment

+fairyhoney Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Here I am - having to listen to the downing of the loud, hard rain. I have a headache as about now. Maybe I am tired but I can't sleep because I am here instead. My eyes are tired but sleep eludes me . My big toe hurts cuz it was broken and not healed correctly and the hard rain makes it hurt before it actually starts to pour so, I suppose that one could call it an indicator but it makes it hard to walk since the pressure is there and one NEEDS their big toe.

lorca.nl Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 oh people COME ON................. first off all SEE THE HUMOR OF THIS COIN TEST.............and if you don`t see the humor then don`t take a part and don`t post...... and PGHLOOKING sorry to say but if you don`t wanna take part because you don`t like the rules because you have to whine and you refusing to do then i don`t understand that you whine about the rules......... what give you the right to say how someone must do his/her cointest and to say "I can't believe you are like that" if you don`t even know someone.........MAN LIGHTING UP ...... and everybody has good time and bad so pleazzz explain me why people only may say the good things and not the bad, why people may not complain about live. just be honest to yourself and admit that sometimes everyone complains even you.... it is heathers test and she can make the rules just like everybody else that make a test, if you are a collector of coins oke fine i understand that you don`t like the rules but when you like to set coins free then it is a nice thing.. I JUST HOPE THAT THESE SMILE`S LET YOU SMILE......... Link to comment
paganfrog Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 i really dont know why this thread has not been closed like i requested, i assume i messaged the correct moderator-eartha? but anyway if any moderator is reading this please close this thread now. i dont know why i bothered to make a cointest. Link to comment
+pghlooking Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Why would you close a cointest that you started without even announcing a winner? Isn't that the point of why you opened it? I see one person thinking it went to far, and frankly couldn't disagree more. You asked for whining and got what you asked for. People around here are becoming very good at giving sob stories, either real ones of made up ones that they have seen from others. Personally I very rarely enter a cointest. I posted in this one because I feel this place has gotten so far away from a trading community and entered a new realm. It's more of a styrofoam era where on ever thread corner is another person with a worse sob story and a syrofoam cup asking "Hey buddy, can you spare a few coins". Do what you want, but closing it over from what I can only is a few small posts is pretty ridiculous. If you only want threads that will agree with you 100%, then you better open your own group and not allow anyone else to post. Link to comment
+Geo.Error Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Please everybody put your humor on and i love to beg but i never get beg mails What do i wrong So thanks PaganFrog for this cointest So as a kid say to error :: error waves to me with his tail So that is what this dog does to everybody Link to comment
+Jackalgirl Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 (edited) Waaah! I'm stuck here in Japan in a building surrounded by barbed wire and no windows DEFENDING YOUR FREEDOM and I can't attend any events Stateside and I miss you all SOOOO MUCH! Gosh, a coin would just, I don't know, remind me of you every time I happen to take it out of my coin treasure bo--no, wait, that's right, I don't have any coins because I'm too busy DEFENDING YOUR FREEDOM waaaah! Did I mention the 12-hour watches? In a building with no windows? Cool coin, btw. I'd be happy to buy one from you, or trade it, though the only coins I have (at the moment) are nontrackable and are Navy-related (nothing whatsoever to do with geocaching, I'm afraid). If you're interested, paganfrog, drop me a PM. And it won't kill me if you don't! ; ) Edited November 8, 2008 by Jackalgirl Link to comment

HIHIHIHIHIHIHI i tought you never gonna wright here anymore don`t worry i`m not after you or any like that and you may post what you feel and think just like the rest of us, and i don`t wanna judge you but there are also a lot of happy story`s to read out here about coin tradings and new designs... a part of me understand you and maybe this is`t the place for tell sob story`s but it belong to live and this is only a cointest where people can tell them so don`t worry to much about it and pleazzzz and i have to say that you are right in this story: WHY CLOSE IF YOU GOT WHAT YOU ASK FOR??

+ElliPirelli Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Ah, paganfrog, don't close the contest. It's so much fun reading here! Unfortunately I can't take part in your cointest, as I already have one of those nice cheesocoins. But then, I'm not very good at whining writing it down I'm much better in a personal encounter...
