avroair Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 (edited) We could have a Cache Flash mob event where all cachers arrive for exactly 10 minutes, talk about caching, exchange travel bugs then disperse... to go caching alone somewhere else. What do you think? Edited June 22, 2004 by avroair Link to comment
+The_Z_Man Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 I'll been looking for a very special cache for my 1,000 find... and this could just be that "special" one. Link to comment
+HartClimbs Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Darn - I thought we had a "cache flasher" in the area. Too bad it's just an event cache.... Link to comment
+Team DEMP Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 We could have a Cache Flash mob event where all cachers arrive for exactly 10 minutes, talk about caching, exchange travel bugs then disperse... to go caching. What do you think? There's no way a bunch of nut jobs that would all meet to log the event could finish BS'ing in 10 mins! Let me know where and I'll be there! (with your flashlight) Link to comment
+JMBella Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Darn - I thought we had a "cache flasher" in the area. We do. I hear he's coming to do Night Sweats and is requesting that the cache owner personally escort him. Link to comment

+briansnat Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Flash Mobs are like so two hours ago. Link to comment
avroair Posted June 22, 2004 Author Share Posted June 22, 2004 The Admins had a group huddle and decided this isn't a good idea since we cachers could use it as a sidestep to just doing group hunts. This was not my original intention, but I see their point. Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 The Admins had a group huddle and decided this isn't a good idea since we cachers could use it as a sidestep to just doing group hunts. This was not my original intention, but I see their point. I don't get it. A cache event can be no hunting at all. Beer & Pizza and Group meetings per tradition in addition to group hunts and cache machines. Hairs to be split here are two items. 1) Event duration. There is no rule I'm aware of but such a short time? 2) Non geocacher participation. Is this a flash mob with a geocaching sub tone (like other events not allowed such as a booth at a fair). or a bonifide geo event. Link to comment
dboggny Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 (edited) sometimes the admins stink. which one said no? Edited June 22, 2004 by dboggny Link to comment
avroair Posted June 22, 2004 Author Share Posted June 22, 2004 The Admin's assessment was fair. They have to think of the ramifications further down the road. Well, there is nothing stopping us from still doing it, just doesn't count as an event. But as the oh, so, trendy BrianSnat remarked: FlashMobs are so last year! Link to comment
