+NOV8TR Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 (edited) After being entertained for the last 3 days reading a recent thread involving a failed Geocide, I just could not keep myself from posting this. I am not a troll (yet), and I rarely post for social purposes (this may be my first!). However, that thread got 266 replies, was viewed 5,758 times the last time I checked, and it only survived for 3 days! Amazing! I wish people had as much interest in, and devoted as much thought to voting for their government representatives! What a better country (read “world” for those of you can’t vote for one reason or another) we could have by exercising the same sort of banter over topics that really matter, rather than over a silly game that has almost no rules, and only “volunteer cops” to enforce them! Ok, enough of all that “grownup” kind of talk, and on to something to incite passionate replies and thought provoking pontification by many persons far more insightful and witty than myself. I AM NOT QUITING GEOCACHING !!!!! 1. I like playing a game that I can play however, and whenever I want. 2. I don’t mind urban nanos. On some days, a P&G power trail is as comforting as a “saw nobody all day long” hike for a single smiley. 3. I like doing something that has little to no impact on anyone other than me. 4. I am grateful there is an organization out there that makes this all possible (I will gladly continue to cough up the $30 p/year fee). 5. I am encouraged that there are still enough people out there willing to volunteer their time to keep this thing going. (Thank you all very much!) And if that isn't enough, I think the world ain’t such a bad place after all! So,,,, come on,,, somebody just try and make me want to quit! I’m serious! If you don’t, I might just go out and plant an ammo can full of McToys in the bushes! Edit for typo Edited July 11, 2010 by NOV8TR Link to comment
knowschad Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Please don't feed the trolls. Can a moderator please lock this thread? OK... I'm just kidding! Link to comment
+t4e Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 So,,,, come on,,, somebody just try and make me want to quit! I’m serious! If you don’t, I might just go out and plant an ammo can full of McToys in the bushes! Pinehurst is about to post BUG 16 MAGOR Link to comment
+thedeadpirate Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 On a scale of 1 - 10 I'd give this anti-geocide a 7. The inclusion of politics and the failure to fill out the appropriate forms cost you a few points. Now, where are those forms??? Link to comment
+TheAlabamaRambler Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Lame attention-seeking. If this thread survives at all it will be moved to the Off Topic forum. In before the lock, which shouldn't be long. Link to comment
+ventura_kids Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 That's too bad....because I've found some of your cache hides....and they are lousy. (just kidding) ...... Did my comments make you quit? Link to comment

+Sioneva Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I may or may not have quit geocaching --- actually, I both have and have not quit geocaching. Someone has put me in a box with a vial of cyanide, and I am waiting to see if the radioactive atom decays or not... ... Please stand by. Link to comment
JASTA 11 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Don't quit! Think of all the 35mm film canisters out there relying on you! What future would they have? Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 So,,,, come on,,, somebody just try and make me want to quit! I’m serious! If you don’t, I might just go out and plant an ammo can full of McToys in the bushes! Oh look. A nice fluffy cute troll. Good try. Link to comment
+Too Tall John Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 So,,,, come on,,, somebody just try and make me want to quit! I’m serious! If you don’t, I might just go out and plant an ammo can full of McToys in the bushes! You're seriously going to place an ammo can in the name of this game that is intended to get people up off their couches and out in the woods, and fill it with plastic trinkets from the icon of American Obesity? Really?!?!?! Maybe you should quit. You said to try. . . . Link to comment

+DragonsWest Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 You fool! Geocaching is dangerous! You could be out on a trail, far from any help or communications and be destroyed by a 5,000,000 tonne meteorite! Stay home, hide under your bed. It's marginally safer there. Link to comment
