+Team Van Stoffelen Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) Okay, I am throwing in a cointest once again. I might seem desperate getting rid of my geocoins. The truth is that I am downsizing. Partly by selling, partly by releasing them into the big wide world and partly by giving them away in a cointest. This is one cointest, or should I say one cointest, three to be, four in total... What are we going to do? Next week I am planning to throw in another 3 cointests. At this time I have not decided what these cointests will be, so I need your help. Let me know in a post what the subject of the cointest should be or what the cointest should look like. As example you can look at my cointests below. But please be creative. And hey remember: I am dutch, bold, extremely handsome, and: modesty is my middle name : ) In this cointest I will be the one and only judge. I will randomly pick one entry who will win a unactivated geocoin. I might even proclaim an extra winner for the idea I like most. Winning this cointest is not the same me using your entry for my new cointests, but you will be given everlasting glory in the new cointest topics. One entry per post. You can enter as many times as you want. Happy Cointesting! Rian (Van Stoffelen Sr) ______________________________________________________________________________ By the way.

paganfrog Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 what would you do to win a geocoin cointest. this would involve having a photograph of yourself in a public setting depicting you doing something very strange just to win a geocoin. must be lawful and ok for posting in a child friendly forum because that what we are isnt it Link to comment
+murphyrulez Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 What your most favorite time out geocaching was... Was it the 10 miles trek to the cache, or the time your wife fell out of the canoe? A picture from that cache visit earns bonus points!!! Link to comment
+geoquino Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Give the best excuse to your wife for buying another coin. Link to comment
+GATOULIS Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 WOW! Some nice posts!!! Well... in my first post here I would like to bring Sinterklaas and Santa Claus (generally Christmas) closer.... Since both are giving presents to the good kids and no matter our age... we are all kids..... "Tell us the good things you have done this year or choose the best thing you did and for that you deserve a coin!" - helped a new cacher - something that has to do with geocaching generally - helped a stranger or someone who really needed help - gave blood, or helped... (sorry I do not know how to say it)... old people or people who needed medical care... children who needed our help.... Any help... not only medical...! Things like that! Link to comment
daveindeal Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 a picture of the strangest location you would least expect a photo to be taken!! included in the photo must be your username on a piece of paper (so we know it has been taken for the cointest not some old one you dragged up from some dodgy photo album under your bed) they can be as imaginative or as plain as you like but not the normal setting< if this is picked i got a great one or two already thought of!!

+SYOTT Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I think that the cointest should be "What would you do for a coin?" and the winner must actually do what they said they would in order to win the coin. Link to comment
Maine Family Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 A conintest to see who is paying attention and the cointest should end 1/29/10. I have been in Todie's Wild Ride and been paying attention. Link to comment

Maine Family Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Well seem it is almost the Christmas or the Kerstmis, season how about a cointest about what you did to help someone else or the kindness you showed to someone else. Link to comment
+Chickahominy Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Show us .... your favorite family photo ... or favorite family Christmas photo. Entries have to be of your family, or your family pets. Thanks for the cointest! Link to comment
+GATOULIS Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Show us how you looked like when you were kids!!! Most of us are in their 30's. 40's, 50's.... But no matter our age....we are hiding a kid in us, in our heart, in our feelings... it is time to show this kid! Post a photo of how you looked like when you were a kid! Link to comment

+GATOULIS Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 to further gatoulis idea, we should send our childhood pictures to TVS and he uses them in a guess who cointest Sorry for laughing my friend! Yuo idea is excellent!!! I am laughing becasue I thought that TVS was a TV channel!!!!! I was suprised... a TV channel for geocachers??? Than I saw what TVS means! I feel so stupid!!! Link to comment
ELTADA Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 to further gatoulis idea, we should send our childhood pictures to TVS and he uses them in a guess who cointest Oh that would be really fun! He could randomly draw for a winner from those who email him a picture of themselves under a certain age (say 10 or so) and then a winner from those who got the most answers correct! I think you would have to at least supply the names of the people in the pictures and then everyone would have to guess who is who and match them up correctly. Link to comment

+labrat_wr Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 How about a "So This is Art????" cointest. submit your pictures of sculptures, statues, or other works of "ART" that really don't look like ART to you. I know that there are plenty of examples of so called art out there that the beauty is only in the eye of the beholder. Link to comment

+Mar-elendili Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Another idea! Pick a random geocoin in your outgoing collection and make it guess. The one who guesses right wins that geocoin. Link to comment

mud4x4 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) I am pretty new. I've never thought of a cointest before, let alone won one yet. So this might be a stupid idea, here it goes..... But here's my idea: At the end of the cointest deadline...get the number of how many people have entered (1 entry per person) and lets say there are 75 entries. You pick a number at random out of 1 through 75, whatever number you wish. Then everyone that entered, goes back after you've posted that you have your number picked. Everyone that's has previously entered goes back and edits their post with their guessed number and whoever gets it right wins the geocoin. And NO calling dibs on a number before hand. And if no one gets it, you post again stating that the number has still been unguessed until original participants get it right. I hope this makes sense. Or here's another one: simply put..."who lives the farthest from you?" Though this one would probably be hard to verify. It would be neat if there was a way.

+GATOULIS Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I just had an idea for a cointest.... since my friend you are making cointests already and you will make more in the near future..... Here is what came in my mind just now.... Who would you like to meet (a geocacher), that you haven't met yet, and why!!! I believe it is an excellent idea, because the majority of us have never met from close!!!! Ok... I will probably have a problem becasue I would love to meet you all and talk from close, but...

+coman123 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 How about drawing the worst, ugliest geocoin that no one would ever want, submit your pic in a post, and the worst coin wins Link to comment
+Team Van Stoffelen Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 Again a cointest comes to an end. Or should I say: this cointest is dead, long live three other cointests. First of all I will announce the winner of this cointest. Everybody who entered had the exact same change. I put the post numbers in a very big head and pulled out the winning number. And the winner is: Post # 4: Geoquino Congratulations to you Zdenek , the coin will be shipped very soon. And then the three promised cointests. Somewhere the next few days I will start a really chaotic 3 in 1 cointest, so three cointests in one topic. There is a real chance that it will be very chaotic, but hey, who cares. It's just for fun! Thanks all for playing this cointest and hope to see you all around soon in the 3 in 1 Mother Of All Cointests Topic to come. Link to comment
