I'm in Hawaii for most of January 2012 (not that that should bother you or the race, I'm just bragging
) returning on the 28th or 29th, so the game will be run almost automonously as it did last year.Prizes / Rewards will be determined once we work out how many entries we have. GCA will NOT be funding any rewards / prizes so the panic kittens who think I'm spending all their money on hookers and blackjack can rest assured.
The game will run December 2011 / January 2012 with the game closing down at 23:59:59 on 31-Jan-2012 (AEDT).
All cache sizes will be permitted from nano through to large. The cache size will be whatever the hell you want it to be. i.e. If you have a 35mm film cannister inside a dumpster, you can call it large or micro. Your choice.
There is no limit to the number of times other cachers can find / move the cache provided there are at least two other finds / moves in between
Caches for the competition must be published on 1 December 2011 Australian Eastern Daylight Time (GCA Time). I'll give instructions on how you can do this if you don't know in the rules at www.cachinggames.com
The game administrators decision is final.
You can not find and move your own cache during the game period
Caches must be found and hidden by the same cacher (i.e. no mailing the cache to another cacher to hide)
If a cacher moves your cache overseas and it remains unfound overseas for 1 week or more, the same cache mover may move your cache (within the country or to another country) without breaking the "2 moves" rule
There is no limit to the distance other cachers can move the cache
Other cachers in the game may find / move your cache, but they must move it on within 2 days
They're pretty much the same as the last game with a small tweak on the international movements.
Good, now that you've skipped over that crud, what is the theme? I have had the following suggestions:
Ge-Gnome 2: Revenge of the Gnerds
Piggy banks (any shape)
Other garden ornaments (gnomes included)
Pot plants (preferably plastic so they don't up and die in the middle of the game)
Lego (individual pieces, collections, fully assembled kits)
Pots and Pans (kitchen themed)
Rocket in your Pocket (starship / outer space themed)
Zombies / Graveyards (must be hidden in a graveyard and must be "fright" themed)
Glow in the Dark (solar lights, GitD painted, LED light with battery)
What other ideas do you have? Let's keep the general etiquette of geocaching in mind, let's keep the cost down, let's try and make it as much fun as the gnomes were.
Over to you for discussion on rules, themes, rewards, prizes, etc, etc.
, you know, those rubber squeeky things or the rubber bone or feeding conch. They are as cheap as chips and damn near impossible to destroy and you can easily drill them to attach a log etc. You could get your own pet to mentor the moveable cache and request photos of the cache with other pets etc.
