+kc_kilmer09 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I live near a pretty inactive hotel. One of my favorite parts of this game is moving along the trackables-- I want to keep the story going, and I would be bummed if my own TBs got caught in a sleepy hotel! So my question is this-- what is the etiquette for moving along more than 1 TB from the hotel? I've already helped one along. I travel a lot for work and could also help several of the others, but I don't want to feel like a TB theft or hoarder. I've searched forums without much luck for answers. Any advice or opinions are welcome! Quote Link to comment
+colleda Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Take one or take them all so long as you don't hang on to them unnecessarily. Keep them moving rather than letting them languish for months on end. Some so-called TB hotels are really TB prisons. My personal "etiqette" is to take as many as I can manage to move on but I may leave a couple for others. Depends if the Cache gets much traffic. If you can help them reach their goals, if they have any, then go for it. BTW, a CO insisting they, TBs, be traded one for one or insisting on other such resrictions is against GC guidelines.

Any advice or opinions are welcome! Is the "sleepy hotel" safe? If folks are visiting once-in-a-while, but the cache isn't a thief target like some we see, I'd be fine with mine there a while. - But you can take whatever you believe you can actually handle. Similar to colleda, if we see a cache that has any kind of "policy" for trackables (take one/leave one for example), we grab all we can and notify a Reviewer that they have an ALR. Those trackables don't belong to the CO. Like in most hotels, just traveling through... You become a "hoarder" when you don't give them up. Visit 'em a couple times if you must, then Drop them in a cache. Simple. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

You, on the other hand, are helping them to move. Any TB owner should be happy to see activity, to know their TB is still in play, and moving! If the hotel doesn't get a lot of visitors, then take and move as many as you like. Better they move than sit unattended for a long time. I have placed a couple of caches that are large enough to hold TB's - I'll use them as drop off points for TB's I pick up in my travels. And if TB's sit in them with no one visiting and taking them, I will grab them from my own caches to move along. 1 Quote Link to comment

We view the numerous people who hold other's property hostage and "visit" caches for months or years on end to be hoarders as well. If they won't give them up, it doesn't matter if it's "moving" or not. It's hoarding. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

The hoarders who can't seem to drop any TB sometimes started by picking up TBs, and at some point they have a problem with the logistics of placing them all into caches, especially the logs. A decent log on just one TB may require several actions in different places on the web site, and with a dozen or more, it starts to become time-consuming. It's much simpler to forevermore log "Took It To", since that doesn't even require the TB being anywhere near the cache. People are excited to take a whole bunch of TBs. They're indifferent about then placing them so somebody else has the excitement of taking the TB. Go figure. Edited November 30, 2018 by kunarion 1 Quote Link to comment
