Geocaches should only be containers of provisions.

[+narcissa]

Clearly, we're doing this wrong.

 

The word "cache" means "A hiding place used especially for storing provisions."

 

All fun and creative geocaches must be archived now. A geocache is a container of provisions at known coordinates.

 

Period.

Please do not derail this discussion with your personal feelings about good and bad provisions.

No, from your posts you've always been a nice person who never spammed. Then all of a sudden you do this to prove your point in an argument. This is something ashinkes would do, something I would never expect from you. None the less it is actually pretty amusing so I can't say it was a bad thing. I don't think of you differently. I probably don't post enough for you to think of me at all...

Great now geocaches will have their own booth at every county fair. The will all be bejeweled mason jars with blue ribbons on them.

This also raises another crucial issue: if ammo cans hold provisions can they truly be called "ammo" cans?

[GOF and Bacall]

They are still ammo cans. They have been re-purposed but that doesn't change what they are.

[+CTYankee9]

Going to have to agree with narcissa on this one.

 

And since they are referred to as GEOcaches, the swag provisions shall only consist of parts for that now defunct line of GM cars.

But not only. The use of "than is common" means that there are other possibilities for the use of a cache.

I think you would do better to insist that Waymarks only be a sign or symbol marked in a prominent position in an off-road location to show the track of a footpath or route.

There are only a few categories that are truly waymarks: milestones, ANWB Paddenstoelen (Dutch bicycle route waymarks), Daniel Boone Trail Markers, and perhaps a few others. Maybe the rest should be listed as virtual geocaches

maybe in narcissa's twisted version of english (the one where "cache" can also refer to a certain piece of information) "especially" means the same thing as "only".

 

i guess we'll never know.

No, you were right the first time. A "cache" stores provisions. We are not hiding Caches, We are hiding "Geocaches". Two different things.

No, there are not. I am the infallible geocaching objectivist, and a CACHE is a CONTAINER OF PROVISIONS, therefore a GEOCACHE is a CONTAINER OF PROVISIONS at particular location defined by GPS coordinates.

 

THERE CAN BE NO OTHER WAY.

 

Y'all can take your mystery geocaches, multi-caches, and any other PERVERSIONS of the term CACHE and SCRAM.

Do hamsters count as provisions? Or does that violate the rule on food in caches?

[+narcissa]

Do hamsters count as provisions? Or does that violate the rule on food in caches?

 

Since the guidelines that are in place now clearly refer to some sort of game that violates the pure definition of cache, consider them void.

 

All provisions, particularly food and hamsters, are welcome and encouraged.

 

Take the environment into consideration when placing hamsters and other provisions. Hamsters may need to be canned or freeze-dried depending on the climate.

I'm going to say that I'm in agreement with you, because I don't want you to think that I'm provoking an argument with you.

Hum? The mountainmen cached beaver pelts; guess those could be construed to be provisions if a person stumbled across them and were hungry enough.

This also raises another crucial issue: if ammo cans hold provisions can they truly be called "ammo" cans?

 

You can and are especially encouraged to use provisions as projectiles, so yes, I would say calling them "ammo" cans is still highly encouraged.

yes! specially the one i got a loaded 22 pistol out of. ok so the ammo was in the gun but the gun was in the can so technically it was still an "ammocan"

[Clan Riffster]

The word "cache" means "A hiding place used especially for storing provisions."

Of course this opens the door to discuss which definition of "provisions" you mean. Supplies or stipulations?

If we can get a group consensus that, in this context, we're talking supplies, then one could argue that tiny scraps of paper count as supplies.

As to the mystery/multi/etc, so long as the final still has provisions, shouldn't that qualify?

Theoretically I could hide a cache of cash in my attic and not befoul the definition of cache, yes? So could I hide a geocache full of cash and not spoil anything? Better yet, could someone will hide one of those for me to find?

When narcissacaching.com is available it will matter. You can make whatever rules guidelines you like and people will listen. Or list their geocaches somewhere else.
