+joefrog Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Okay, regarding micros... I'm about to get vicious and hide some micros in the area. Question is, can a site already used for a virtual be used as a stage for a micro? Joel (joefrog) "Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for ye are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!"

+Team GPSaxophone Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 I always thought virtuals would be archived if a regular cache could be placed there. Make this spot the ending point, and you're okay. Took sun from sky, left world in eternal darkness Quote Link to comment
+joefrog Posted September 10, 2003 Author Share Posted September 10, 2003 Okay, I mixed the two subjects I was thinking up while posting. Gimmie a break, it's 5 pm here. Now, rephrased -- if a site is already used for a virtual cache, can it also be used as a step while searching for a multi?

+Team GPSaxophone Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 No, the 'stages' of a multicache are treated as individual caches, whether they are virtual or not. Since there is already a virtual there, the spot has been claimed. If you feel a traditional cache (including the final cache of a multi) could be placed where a virtual currently exists, you may ask that the virtual be archived to place a 'real' cache there.

Trogdor! Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 QUOTE]"Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for ye are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!" Actually, I perfer a good hot sauce like Tapatio or Cholula over ketchup!!! Anyway, I don't under stand how a vert. could be used as a stage in a multi. If there was nothing but a view, how would you get the coordinates for the next stage? When in trouble, when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout! Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Well now, since a multi cache can hide clues inside normal caches, what is the purpose of making it so the stages don't "Match" where another cache is at? It seems like a big waste of time to check anything other than either the start, or end. Trogdor! you can use numbers on the plaque for the virtual as clues for the coordinates for the next stage. This is not uncommon. Quote Link to comment

+yumitori Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 quote:Originally posted by joefrog: Exactly -- it's a historic marker I was hinting about. Joel (joefrog) Could you make the step one which requires answering a question or two? Then offer folks the option to go to the marker or find the information somewhere else, which ever they prefer? If you provide the coordinates as one possible place to get their answers, most folks would likely go there, but it wouldn't be required. Run it by your local approver and see what they think.

This is not uncommon. Doh! So you want a stage of your multi to take you to the next stage (which happens to be an existing vert) and then use certin numbers viewed at that location to get you to the third stage? I don't know what would be wrong with that. Wouldn't you get to also log a find on that existing vert? When in trouble, when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout! Quote Link to comment

I don't know what would be wrong with that. Wouldn't you get to also log a find on that existing vert? That's what I was wondering... I want it to be a themed cache, and that particular marker I'm thinking of is a KEY element in the theme! Heck, it'd even increase visits to the existing virtual.
