+Scubasonic Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) I know I'm probably going to regret posting this, and get flamed up the Ying Yang but I got an email from another cacher the other day (Tipete) from Montreal he had just reached 1000 FTFs and ran across my profile and wanted to know if I knew of anyone that had more FTFs then I did. I said no I didn't but hadn't really tried to find out, I told him he could post the question on the Forums to see, but he has not (he's probably smarter then I am). So my question is does anyone know of anyone that has more then 1760 FTFs. I really would be curious as I know Tipete would be as well. Edited March 31, 2012 by Scubasonic Link to comment
TheCacheSeeker Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I have 1 FTF. It was shared with a local cacher who has a ton of FTF's, 44 to be exact. Link to comment

AZcachemeister Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Who HAS the most, or who is CLAIMING to have the most? Big difference. Only by actually reviewing the original logbooks of every cache place (so far) could there be a definitive answer. I actually have 2317 FTFs, but I frequently don't sign the log, and come back later, after someone else has 'claimed' the FTF. I also delay my online log and avoid using the acronym to prevent making myself a target. Link to comment
+TheAlabamaRambler Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) I think a more interesting stat would be the FTF to ticket ratio. Haven't seen anyone get a ticket, but I did witness 2 cachers crash their cars into one another (one stopped, the other slid into her) on an FTF chase. The cache published nearby during a dinner event, cell phone notifications started going off, folks started eyeballing each other, about 5 cachers broke for the door. It was a real Keystone Cops moment. Edited March 31, 2012 by TheAlabamaRambler Link to comment
+OZ2CPU Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I got one more today :-) http://coord.info/GC3CMVR see the pictures.. I only go for FTF for hardcore terrain 5 caches, the water and mud was from 10cm to 100cm deep !! so a full wetsuit was used, it took me about one hr to get it, I was soo tired and swetty when I got back to wife and kids, then it is funny !! here in Danmark we got a few super FTF hunters, if they are in town I got no chance at all, no matter what is release where !! they got hundreds of FTC each, they will leave work, parties, lunch or what ever they do for a FTF hunt ! I think it is cool this kind of first to find hunt, but I am not the most crasy hunter my self. Link to comment

+Inmountains Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I don't know what is more entertaining, those who are obsessed with "FTF" or those who are obsessed with those who are obsessed with "FTF." If you don't like to see someone bragging, then don't read the forum but if you do, don't be critical. The entire Geocaching forum is full of people "bragging." I think the longest thread could be titled "Look at the Cache Container I made." Personally, I see no problem with people bragging as long as the bragging is not used to put someone else down. For instance, if I were able to finish running a marathon, I would tell my friends I finished a marathon. I wouldn't say, "I ran a marathon, and I bet you couldn't" The FTF stat, as well as the Finds stat, are really nothing more than the honorable word of the person stating it. I could sit here and post a "found it" log on 100,000 caches and there is no audit of it. The only stat that is verifiable is the "hidden" stat and even than has a few holes in it. I could hide a cache and let someone else claim to hide it. The entire Geocaching game is based on honor and integrity. Some folks have it and some folks do not. At the end of the day, if I had fun, what more could I ask for? There are a lot of days I had fun and I found ONE cache. The best days caching, for me, are when I run into another cacher and have a pleasant conversation with them. Or when I go out with my kids (who are all adults now, except one, she is 16) and share some laughs and a find or two. The day I reached 1,000 finds I had my sixteen year old daughter and 14 year old niece with me, and we found a total of 8 caches. We had a BLAST! So who has the most FTFs? Who is John Galt?

+DragonsWest Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 The real game is trying to figure out how to make FTF hounds really earn those First Finds. After that each cacher must earn their find, too. I personally know someone who will go out of his way for a FTF, to the sacrifice of other hides nearby. It's not my journey, but I wouldn't dream of telling anyone else how to go about enjoying their finds and in what order. Though I might have a minor gripe about someone who goes out and hides a streak of caches specifically acknowledging and congratulating a specific finder (You really don't know he will be the First To Find, do you? If so, something seems amiss there.) Attending a mega event is a great opportunity to meet hundreds of other cachers and hear their stories - the game means different things to a lot of people.

Or we can talk about folks who show up in the forums and ask for a discussion, then throw a fit when an opinion that's different from theirs shows up for the party. Or we can talk about the people who drive like maniacs for a FTF, putting people in danger with their horrible road antics seeming inability to pay attention to anything but the film can that's so important.

I'm not being difficult in this thread for the same reason as KC, but I'm being difficult because I firmly believe that it DOESN'T matter. I also acknowlege that to many people it does. Maybe, just maybe, if you don't want contradicting ideas and opinions posted in your threads, you shouldn't post them on the public forums. I also think that anyone who is new to either caching or to the forums should be able to see both sides of this type of debate. If they open a thread about FTF's, they should be able to see as many different ideas about the topic as is possible and make their own decision on how they want to play. Link to comment

Some people are very competitive and that should be OK and just because you or others do not care about something I find putting those that do down obnoxious. What puzzles me is the need to reply to someones question with "who cares"! While the OP has every right to start threads like this one (barring word from Groundspeak to the contrary), the reaction you are seeing is not so much because of the obvious question, but because those of us that have been around for a while have learned that the OP will use any pretense to call attention to his FTF count, and some have grown weary of what they see as poorly camouflaged boasting. knowschad, You know I debated for some time about posting this question, and I tried to word it such a way that I wouldn't have the Lifers that live 24/7 on the forums, that seem to live to crucify the next person that posts with any question what so ever. I even posted the name of the cacher that contacted me about the question, just so maybe, just maybe I could get some legitimate responses. But that didn't even work you and all your cronies still find a way to discredit the question. It is a legitimate question and I'm glad that I finally got a legitimate answer from "firennice", that's all I was looking for. Thanks knowschad for nothing, your help is as always just as useless as it ever is. I think that there are very few here that would categorize me as one who would want to "crucify" people that come here to ask questions, or my posts as any more "useless" than your own.

+Rayvan43 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I have sat here and watched the mud slinging and off topic comments and I just cant beleive it! My guess is that you can say anything and get away with it as long as your pals with the moderator. Link to comment
