Early Morning Attack On Long Island!

[+Packanack]

Remember Jerseyans, move the flags around 1:30 to 2 PM on Fridays, it is an effective gambit that I learned of from observation of Long Islanders, it is especially frustrating to those who try and make an early exit from work to grab a flag. I myself am going to ride the Lehigh River Rail Trail, a cacheless park in PA : . Have a great weekend.lol:

So, just to throw some "game theory" into the mix, it would seem plausible to log the flag on Friday afternoon and (according to the rules) log the next placement on Monday (72hrs later) which would make weekend expeditions fruitless. Of course that only works when NJ has the flags

Or to use coordinated movements, that is where LIGO shines. I believe they will make a move, it is quiet, too quiet.

Several Long Island geocachers were spotted passing through the Holland Tunnel at 5 a.m. headed towards NJ. Our scouts lost them on the Pulaski Skyway. They're out there - somewhere. Keep your eyes peeled.

The rule is 48 hours, so no!

 

Let me make this perfectly clear. That LI Flag is safer in that cache than any cache I can think of on Long Island. I'm more than happy to leave it there. One of you NJers will have to grab it if you have any hope of winning this thing.

 

The score, I think, is 67 - 42. That's 8 + moves.

 

Next time we play this (if there is a next time) I think the points should be based on how long the flag is in the opponents territory.

If it is indeed 48 hours, then the TB pages should be updated to reflect that. Currently, they 2 of the 3 say 72 hrs. For some strange reason the LI Flag says 48 hrs.

 

Official & NJ

4. Flag Retrieval: Once you retrieve a flag you have 72 hours (3 days) to play it in another qualified cache (see above for description). Failure to do so within the alloted timeframe will result in a team penalty (see scoring below).

 

LI

4. Flag Retrieval: Once you retrieve a flag you have 48 hours (2 days) to play it in another qualified cache (see above for description). Failure to do so within the alloted timeframe will result in a team penalty (see scoring below)

 

But goes on to say later....

1. Holding: If a team member holds onto a flag for more than 72 hours a 10 point penalty is ...

 

This wouldn't be LI trying to benefit from a Loophole would it?

Just keep moving them. I noticed NJ team members have now come out of the woodwork since we have the flags. Where were all you guys when we needed a raid!

[+Greg2dot0]

We've heard the rumors that once you go to Lonk Island that you start talking funny, and actually start to enjoy sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic.

It's 48 hours, that's what we agreed on. The pages need to be updated.

The Capture the flag official bug has it at 48 hours (unless it is listed multiple times and I forgot to update one of the entries).

 

Keep them moving. If we just sit on them we get no points.
