I never knew these existed!! Do they?? You know if you go to a High School with 2 floors? And when a Freshman asks where a room is, you tell them on the 3rd floor? It's like that.

+geodarts Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 (edited) Of course it could be that platinum membership is depicted as a joke as a disinformation campaign to keep people from knowing the true facts about platinum membership. Platinum membership would explain the black helicopters circling around various cache sites, the way that lackeys are often called on secret missions to assist other cachers, and the true meaning of the APE caches (which is the reason why they have to be archived if the container is lost). Why is it that Jeremy uses a secret signal to communicate with cachers - other than platinum membership? Why do some caches get approved so much faster than anything other people experience? What is the real story of the frog? Why is there a cache on the space station? What about the seemingly unlisted caches on the moon and mars? It all comes down to platinum status. I am willing to bet that even now Jeremy would tell you that there is no such thing as platinum membership. Which proves my point, Edited June 17, 2011 by mulvaney Quote Link to comment

4wheelin_fool Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) Platinum members are shiny happy people, but mostly shiny and a bit hard core, as well as heavy. In fact they don't float at all. Edited June 19, 2011 by 4wheelin_fool Quote Link to comment

But true platinum members need not solve any puzzles. And then the GPMSB (Groundspeak Platinum Member Service Bureau) will take you to the cache location, give you a personal jetpack to use, or send out a drone to make the find for you.

+geodarts Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 When I looked at the topic, which really has more to do with Platinum Member caches than benefits, I managed to obtain the super-secret list of these caches. It would be fun to do the cache in the inner chambers of the Egyptian pyramids, even if it is a multi. The cache underneath the chair where the Pope sits has also gotten a lot of favorite votes. Some people think the cache that is disguised as a sprinkler head just outside Willuam and Kate's apartment at Kensington is a little much - but the last person who logged it was invited to tea with Pippa so membership does have it's rewards. With Mission 9 gone, you might be wondering what happened to the "spare" container that Groundspeak reported having in 2004 - let us just say it is one reason why platinum members are not concerned about losing that one. And since platinum members can log locationless caches there is always some place for them to play this game. Quote Link to comment
