I don,t like this way of Geocaching!

April 29, 2011

Sorry, but I don,t like the way of play geocaching based on velocity. I usually advise, that people use to play geocaching collecting the major number of cachés without interchange of objects, without uploading pictures, and without write a letters... only "tftc"...... sorry again but for records are the Guinness book... and there are another competitions for running or cycling or including the orientation modes!!!

This has been discussed so many times on this forum. The general concensus is: If you don't like it, then don't do it. I'd rather see a million tftc logs than read all the complaints over and over again.

Take your own advice and don't read the complaints then.

Sorry, but I don,t like the way of eating ice cream based on velocity. I usually eat just a little ice cream at a time, savoring the taste for as long as I can. I can't comprehend someone eating ice cream as fast as they can trying to set some Guiness record for the most ice cream eaten. Don't they get an ice cream headache doing this? The whole concept seems silly and not what eating ice cream should be about.

Mmm... The saffron-cardamom ice cream at Marianne's is the best! That's what eating ice cream should be about!

Oh no....not the ice cream again.

Somehow, the ice cream example can be used in almost every geocaching thread....and sooner or later it does. It's just a bit early this time :lol: :laughing:

Game not same to all players. Accept this fundamental truth and you will be at peace, deny it and you will forever be in conflict.

hey, that was pretty zen-like, wasn't it?

I love powercaching. :anitongue:

I only use the website to keep track of which caches I have already found (This was the original reason for developing the website).

So...I keep my logs quite short.

If you want to write a book in your logs...feel free. I don't.

um...I mean ..... some cachers don't. :rolleyes:

April 29, 2011

. Geocache the way YOU want. Power caching is LAME but thats just me. I dont need any one to pat my back for allegedly finding 15,000,000,000 in one day. Eat the flavor of Ice Cream you like. (my fav is Cherry Garcia) :mmraspberry:

Bacon. It is all about the bacon. How you eat the bacon is very important. Bacon should always be eaten with poached eggs on an English muffin and hash browns

Umm, not true. It should be eaten with pancakes or french toast and used to sop up the extra syrup. :laughing:

It is obvious that English is the OP's second language. I think we can get the gist of what they are saying. No need to bust on the language issue.

I'm willing to give the OP the benefit of doubt that English is not his first language, being from Europe and all. <_< And also agree that the power caching trends and meaningless logs are not to my liking either. As has been mentioned before,

the best part of caching is that anybody can do it. Is also the worst part of caching.

There is a place up here that make ice cream sundae's that look like Impressionist works of art.

And they have a yummy vanilla

The O.P. seems to hail from Spain.

I believe he is stating a dislike for Power Trails, Team Caching, Leap-Frogging and Container Swapping.

Further, I believe he may be expressing a dislike for abbreviated logging procedures.

Yeah, no kidding!! I'm going through this, thinking, some of these are the people that often bash the forum regulars for being rude? Geeze! The OP is not speaking in his native language, obviously, and very possibly using a Google translation, at that.

Agustín, yes, some people like to take it slow and enjoy the sights and sounds and smells, and love to journal their experiences through the online logs, while others do love the race. I have cached both ways, and in general I agree with you, but I have also had fun "power caching" as long as I'm with good friends and we aren't taking it too seriously. No one method is more valid than the other... it is just a matter of personal preference. Sometimes it seems as though the high-speed competitive style is gaining ground, but perhaps that is simply because they log more caches in less time, and so are more visible.

Boy, the moderators get cranky when we see people make rude comments about people from non-English speaking countries not being able to speak perfect English. What might be worse is when someone points out bad spelling from someone who does speak English as their first language.

But we won't go there, will we.

Here's my take on it: Why eat vanilla when you can have strawberry???

April 30, 2011

Thanks ALL for understand me, even in my very bad english!!! ;-) I really accept this kind of play geocaching, that you named power-caching, of course, I said only my opinion.

However I did not a presentation, now is my opportunity, my name is Agustín , and I,m form Spain... and I already discover a forum in my main language... not before!!!

Thanks again for your replies, and for the ice creams and other delicious things!!!! :-)

Your English is 90% better than my Spanish.

Are there power trails appearing in Spain? Are they very popular?

We have never done "power-caching" - You can tell that from our figures - We might get our 1000th cache this summer... we might even move up a gear to try and get it for the UK Mega event on 31st July.

Hmmm. Do you reckon we can get another 50 caches by then? I suppose we could if we were prepared to spend half a day on a "power trail"!

Enjoy your caching the way you like it.

I'm a big fan of really good strawberry ice-cream. This is an advantage because the other members of the household tend to go more for the chocolate/caramel/fudge flavours so I usually get to have all the strawberry, but I must admit that the Haagan Dazs dulce de leche is pretty addictive...

I pretty much understood him too. He doesn't like tftc only logs. I'm with you brother. And I probably wouldn't do very good expressing it in whatever your native language is.

A recent cacher in our area does not even use initials to sign the log.

A mere smiley face!

I think it's called Tozainamboku's Law - If a a GC forum thread runs long enough eventually someone mentions ice-cream. I'm sure there's a Wikipedia page about it.

I have spent 12 hours getting 1 cache and then the next weekend spent 12 hours getting 100 caches. But even when I find lots of caches I still write up a good deal more than most people. And no it's not all about the numbers, it's all about fun and with the right people 100 park and grabs in a day can be fun (on occasion).
