+all hat Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 It must have something to do with April Fools Day, but there have been a lot of new caches published this morning by reviewers from out of country. I just had 2 caches published here in Ontario - the first by a reviewer in France and the 2nd by a reviewer in Australia. Then I noticed a 3rd by a reviewer in Germany!!! Quote Link to comment
+Happy Humphrey Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Ontario reviewers are busy elsewhere; look here. Quote Link to comment
+nessie3d & Ynka Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Same thing here in Belgium, a couple of caches were published by American and German reviewers ... hope the caches well be OK, for those reviewers don't understand dutch Quote Link to comment

+Bear and Ragged Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Reviewer territories are being shifted around to prevent any sort of conflict of interest when reviewing their own or friends caches. Didn't think reviewers were allowed to have friends? Quote Link to comment
Mr.Yuck Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Reviewer territories are being shifted around to prevent any sort of conflict of interest when reviewing their own or friends caches. Those zany, madcap Ontario reviewers are still at it. Stop it, my sides are splitting. And ST, your challenge caches? Not funny. Now if you and NYAdmin take off your socks and log them with your player accounts? That would be funny. Quote Link to comment
+Landy49 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 HAHA....Me thinks this is an April Fool's thing. It is funny as we have had 10+ caches published from all over the world reviewers. never get this kind of an onslaught. Quote Link to comment
+Tequila Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 If you read some of the publish logs, they say "april fools" backwards. . Quote Link to comment

+Landy49 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 And after contacting one of these reviewers directly..."mirror server is to be cleared up after midnight tonight." Hmmm makes that when April 2nd starts? Quote Link to comment

+Ecylram Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 The locals here in Colorado are cracking up over the reviewer battle going on with this cache: http://coord.info/GC3FX2Z Yes, it's a real cache and its been fun following the action. Quote Link to comment
Pup Patrol Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 My son's first cache had an odd reviewer. Wouldn't you naturally have to be a bit odd to volunteer to be a reviewer I wasn't going to jump in there about the "odd" thing, though I was mightily tempted. The Reviewers sure seem to be having a lot of fun today. It's been a lot of fun reading the various comments and "published" notes.

Lots of notes by other reviewers, and several "regular" cachers had logged the Rochester one as a find. EDIT: Never mind, I just checked my email, and they've been republished.

+NeverSummer Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Reviewer territories are being shifted around to prevent any sort of conflict of interest when reviewing their own or friends caches.

And moving shouldn't have anything to do with publishing their own caches, right? I'm just wondering what you meant by your observation, and where it came from.
