+RocketMan Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Ok, I'm getting tired of reading about all the mysterious YMS misprints and never getting to see any of them. I think we need a place for those who come across the misprints to post images of them. Maybe someone that has most of the misprints can post them to a personal webpage (Don?). Or, maybe a new thread should be started. Please, someone share with those of us that can't make it to Max's Favorite Park. RM Quote Link to comment

+duganrm Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I recently discovered that my YMS-card collection has a gap in it, YMS #20. At first I wasn't worried because $kimmer promised to give me the extra YMS #20 she has. That was umpteen weeks ago so I've just about given up hope of filling in a Princess Toadstool. Harmon & Sandy of SD Rowdies Last time I was there, Iron Mountain Trail Cache (GCQ0JT) still had 1 copy of YMS #20 (Princess Toadstool) still in it. You may want to make a quick trip by there and see if it is still there... Quote Link to comment

I grabbed one of each card. There were still 6 of the Vultures and 2 misprints left as of ~10am this morning (also 2 Chuy cards). Don't park right across from the handicap spaces, there are bees in the bush there. Quote Link to comment

+FlagMan Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 With the election behind us, time for our own poll! I would like your collective input on the process of hiding the Udesignit TB. The bug was originally moved around just like any other TB, with the finder hiding it for the next person to find. I sort of hijacked that process at one point partly because of the possibility that the bug would be just handed around amongst a small group of cachers, leaving others unable to grab it, and partially to be able to control the timing of when I would have to start making a new card. On the first point, it seemed to me that even the appearance of impropriety (only a lawyer would say something like that, right?) would lessen the overall interest in this whole aspect of the game. So I interjected myself as a cacher without a stake in the outcome to do the placements. It seems to have worked OK, but it does steal the creative aspect of the hide from the finder of the bug. So I am certainly open to other opinions on this issue. Lots of great ideas have been expressed on how to release the bug into the wild. I like all that creativity and perhaps the whole impropriety thing is outweighed by the whole creativity thing. So, ahem, with the Secretary noting that a quorum is present, a motion has been made as follows: Should we allow the finder of the Udesignit bug to release the bug once FlagMan has given the green light? Is there any discussion? All those in favor? Opposed? Quote Link to comment

+SD Rowdies Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 (edited) I think that there is a hidden issue behind the discussion of Udesignit card placement. The issue is eligibility. In the beginning Yrium selected honorees that, in his opinion, earned a place in the local Geocaching community by achieving a great number of finds and placements, or by bringing some notable quality into our local Geocaching community. Simply said the honor of appearing on an Yrium card meant, to some degree, that you had earned your Geocaching stripes in one way or another. As it is FlagMan assumed the role of the YMS gatekeeper and he has done a terrific job of it. To throw the door open without a gatekeeper is not an option in my opinion. In cowboy-talk that means that anybody proposing to make the YMS cards "fair" should be run out of town on a rail. So there, now I've said it. Go ahead and let me have it. O sorry, I digressed, I'm definitely opposed to the change. Edited November 10, 2005 by SD Rowdies Quote Link to comment

But if he wants some help and he sets some guidelines that he wants to be followed then I think I would go with that too... Edit: I also think Tom has been creative in the hides. So I really don't see that as an issue at all. Another idea would be for the finder to get pre-approval from Tom for the new hiding time/place. This would save Tom a trip out to place the new card and allow others participate in coming up with new ideas. Edited November 10, 2005 by TrailGators Quote Link to comment

Simply said the honor of appearing on an Yrium card meant, to some degree, that you had earned your Geocaching stripes in one way or another. PW's Reply: Selection of a cacher to be placed on a card can be a sensitive subject for some because there is really no defenitive guidelines to follow. Rating based on finds and placements is all find and dandy but if a particular cacher doesn't give a darn or doesn't even know what a Yrium card is should you still include the statistics in your decision. This is a quote from an e-mail sent by Yrium to Gecko Dad: So after the PALs run is done then I'm thinking I'll start a new grouping called YRIUM'S COLLECTORs series featuring all the geocachers that have been picking up the cards so far. So that might not be a bad idea, follow thru with his wishes. Do you think a Yrium Card Collector who is not on a card would love to see themselves up in the Hall of Fame, that is if deserving in the UDesignit's holders eyes, I think so. And as Harmon mentioned.....those that have "brought some notable quality into our local Geocaching community" are at the top of my list for being placed on a card!! This is what Flagman posted awhile back Perhaps it is time for a short history lesson on the PALS Cards and the UDesignit Bug, for no other reason than to identify all the cards out there and to put all the UDesignit grabs and selections in one spot for easy reference. The dates for the PALS cards are based on my set of PALS cards, and I may have some of Yrium's reprints in my set, so some of the dates may not reflect the original printing of these cards. My set was printed by Yrium, but some of them may be Yrium reprints (as distinguished from the reprints I have made of these cards).
