Re: Bingo - The moving cache race for 2012/2013
Having my best GCA month ever, 22 found in 3 days ... plus cracked the 100 GCA finds barrier too, with a FTF ... BINGO!
Got some of my cards around half full now. Time to be selective and track down the missing numbers ... this is where it gets interesting.

You're doing better than I am. 11 finds and only 2 green boxes
Something tells me as the game administrator I might need new numbers

Great innovation by covert and Ali-J to put QR code tags on their bingo caches.
A quick scan and you can open GA Cacher at the right page to log them without any other action.

Melbourne Bingoees
I saw a banner up this evening that there will be a working bee in Wattle Park this Saturday. There are a few larger caches here, could somebody please rescue them before then just in case they get discovered and trashed?.... and Its a popular place to hide moveables (especially for me ) butI would avoid placing any more here until after the weekend just in case...
Thanks

Re: Bingo - The moving cache race for 2012/2013
Those of us here in Sydney have discovered there are very few numbers needed on our cards, that are actually in Sydney or even NSW or ACT for that matter. In fact, a few numbers I've checked out, has no possibilities here, in every other state but NSW.caughtatwork wrote:You're doing better than I am. 11 finds and only 2 green boxes

Just checking some distances and it appears that the cache with the longest distance and overall distance, leading the race is a frog, not a BINGO game piece...... and a frog that has been archived. How did that sneak in here????
Re: Bingo - The moving cache race for 2012/2013
The two caches listed against wileyclan on the ladder are both frogs and neither of them seem to have been placed by wileyclan. Something a bit funny seems to have happened there as they also have three bingo cards!
For those of you worried about finding your card numbers, be thankful you're not in Brisbane!
I'm more than happy to be contacted by any travellers wanting to organise swaps.

Three bogus racers have been nuked.
GA3537, GA3538 and GA3539.
Anyone who had these ticked off their card due to finds when these racers were in play last year have had those ticks removed.
Thanks for the headsup tronador.

DisSister I am happy to do the usual Brisbane - Lismore shuttle service but it will need to wait until school holidays start at the end of the week. Of course you could always come down to Surfers and pick up the two at near the GC600 pit lane so I can legitimately move them (they're mine). The 'Lismore' crew tend to get a little cranky if I kidnap all their moveables without leaving something in return.DisSister wrote:The two caches listed against wileyclan on the ladder are both frogs and neither of them seem to have been placed by wileyclan.

This one is a number I need so that is why I looked at it ...
It has the moveable icon but says it is Locationless, locationless, locationless and has no co-ords.
It's also in the middle of the ocean
Ummmmm lol

And let's not forget the site has had a QR code generator for your owned caches for about 6 months or more...........................GJMMelb wrote:And Spladem'sgmj3191 wrote:Great innovation by covert and Ali-J to put QR code tags on their bingo caches.

Re: Bingo - The moving cache race for 2012/2013
That suffers from the problem where the cache was published without co-ords. Then the cacher added the co-ords. When the first found log came through, it updated the cache co-ords to the published log which were at 0,0. It looks like it's in someones hands, so when they move it it should return to normal, except the first finder won't get any distance points.GJMMelb wrote:http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga5309
