+Turlutortue Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Each team should have a name, it would be more personal My team name will be "WINNER" That is personal. I second that! Quote
+Ashallond Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 Go Team 2 I suggest we call ourselves 'Team Victory!" Quote
+Chickahominy Posted February 6, 2010 Author Posted February 6, 2010 Cool, hey I'm happy to be on either team Since you have this East/West/North/South thing set up, does that mean that instead of picking a person off the list, we are supposed to send it to the next person on the list? Doesn't really matter to me, just want the clarification. Good question. Nope, you don't have to send it to the next person on the list. Perhaps someone from each team can figure out the send order to maximize your mailing miles. Or, you can be totally random about your mailings. LOL! I'm excited, either way. I know who I will send to first. Now to pick out the coins Quote
+Laval K-9 Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 Go Team 2 I suggest we call ourselves 'Team Victory!" Sounds very good Quote
+kini_ont Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 Well I'm goning to issue a challenge 15. Ashallond Arkansas vs 15. kini_ont Ontario 'Team Victory!" vs "Team WINNER" 1 coin if my "Team WINNER" wins you send me a coin but if your "Team Victory" wins.... I eat crow and send you a coin Will You Accept the Challenge????? Quote
+Turlutortue Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 (edited) ''TEAM WINNER''.....I LOVE IT!!!! and have already said it!!! GO TEAM WINNER! GO! Edited February 6, 2010 by Turlutortue Quote
+Ashallond Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 Hmm, are we racing on speed back to Chick? I would think that instead of miles there isn't any guarantee the max miles are the same (that it could get expensive for some people to send things way far) and sure, I've got an extra coin that I won't cry too much if I lose. NOT THAT TEAM VICTORY IS GOING TO LOSE! Quote

+kini_ont Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 You are correct the miles are in all likelyhood not even 8. gardengorilla is marked as Washington though they/she is in Australia No matter "Team Winner" will win Even if I have too take it to Australia myself Got any room gardengorillia Quote

Just so that I am clear on the race for mileage...when we "discover" the coin, we have to grab it, and then dip it into a local cache in order to set its marker and get its miles. Is that correct?

+Laval K-9 Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Team Victory, how about planning our strategy? Quote
+Ashallond Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 It'd depend on who gets the package first. Hopefully both will start in the same country, and then we can possibly make a nice loop. I'll start thinking. Quote
+burgessfour Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Me too; it will be fun when we find where the coins land first! Quote
+Chickahominy Posted February 8, 2010 Author Posted February 8, 2010 ha ha ha.... <evil laugh> Where will the mission start?? I mailed off two packages today. One to a Team Victory member and the other package to a Team Winners member. Are they both in the same country?? I wonder. I did have a strategy in my mailing. Y'all make not recognize it.. but it's there. Clarification... This mission / cointest is not about accumulating miles. The mission/cointest is to see which team can get the package BACK to me first. I have included the guidelines in a printout sent along with the missions. There is a "traveling" coin included with the mission. TB2EADC and TB2EAZ2 When you receive the package, you are to log the "traveling" coin as a found. Grabbing it from the hands of the previous person. This way, we KNOW that you have the mission IN HAND and that it passed your way. Pick or Pass... Which coin from the mission will you choose? Which will you pass on? HAVE FUN! Quote
+grodan & fiabus Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 How exciting!! Just to make sure I got it right, The mission includes 1 activated travlecoin for us to log and 2 unactivated coins to choose one from and add another to. So then we send 3 coins around? Is it supposed to be sent any items along with the mission? If it is, then what to send? Hope for answer. Thanks for doing this. grodan Karin Team #2 Team Victory Quote

It would be fun Quote

+Chickahominy Posted February 9, 2010 Author Posted February 9, 2010 I am sooo excited to watch this mission. Thanks to all particpants! You are right, Team Victory, Sweden is a long way! Team Winners has to mail to and from Australia, though. That should somehow equal out the mail lag for the two teams (or so I thought ). Sgt Mikal > Oh geeze... did things just get more complicated for me? If the coin isn't "dipped" into a local cache, then miles won't show? We won't log miles for just passing it from hand to hand? It has to be actually placed in a cache to log miles? What do y'all think? It would be nice to log the miles. I wanted everyone to discover the "travelers" and to use them as verification that the mission went "through" the person... (trying to stay a step ahead of you guys.. not that you would do it, but you could conceivably skip people on the mission... just how badly do you want to win? LOL! We could drop the coin and pick it up as we do for the 52 Pick Up Mission. I plan on drawing from both teams to win the travelers at the end of the mission. Do y'all mind dipping in local caches? Quote
+opalsns Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 You have to dip it. It has to be " Grabbed " from the last player and then "dropped" Then Retrieved again. Then you get miles AND can view the map travels Quote
+TeamEccs21 Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Dipping is no problem. You get your proof that it passed through the right hands and can see mileage as well. Quote
