Bingo - The moving cache race for 2012/2013

[Toriaz]

My first time doing one of these, so Im still not sure how this works, even after reading CachingGames.com and the Forum posts but.........

Im just guessing that when someone moves your cache a certain amount of Klms eg 11ks, and if you have a bingo card with an 11, then that card gets a tick on that number, until your card is full. Is that correct?

Also, can the moveable cache be placed anywhere, as the frog cache game?

If so can you ask the next person to move your cache a certain distance so as to correspond with a bingo number you have?

Does it matter where the cache is placed for its initial release?

You get numbers marked off your bingo card based on caches you move. So if I have a cache GA4996 & you have 96 on your card, if you move my cache by at least 1km, 96 gets marked off your card.

You get a bingo card when you register a moveable cache for the game, but after that, marking off numbers on your bingo card happens when you move someone else's cache. (or by moving your own cache in limited circumstances).

The way you tick off the number in your box is by finding one of the game caches that ends with the 2 digits. eg if i want to cross off 84, I need to find GAxx84

Bingo.
Actually YOU need to MOVE it, not just find it. By 1km or more.
Other than that, yes, BINGO!

Try deleting all your logs.
Also, (and i did this, it works) go to bingo and "edit your cache". Then against the line where you have GA4713, delete the number "GA4713" in the box and push the "reset" button. This will remove it from the game (and the bingo card associated but that's ok as you get a card back when you add it back later). If it is all reset on GCA (or c@w fixes it for you) you can add it back to the game. This way, it's not going to be visible to anyone from the Bingo link

Looks like your not alone... Someone has entered a traditional and a puzzle cache...

Thanks Blossom!!!!! The deleting of the logs is what made the difference!! Coz I had already tried deleting the cache from the Bingo Page and re submitting but the link was still live and listed below the cards in the Geocacher Name alpha order section. Could you/someone please confirm the link on the Bingo page doesnt work anymore, coz now of course I can still access it through that link as it is MY cache. But seeing it has now disappeared from the list below I'm fairly sure it has been successfully changed to 1/12 everywhere lol Thanks again Blossom

The numbers imply they're placeholders.

Wow! The GA cache numbers are going so quickly! I was going to try to get a number in each of the rows (eg 10s, 20s, 30s etc) between Strike-a-light and myself so we had a nice distribution across the whole range. I created a new cache at #32, looked an hour later to see #39 had been entered already and quickly created my next cache, only to find I'm already at #55!! Who took all the 40's???!!!

Tassie's a nice summer destination.....

Transport related you say?

Oh dear. I was planning on making a cache on GC, but looks like i'll get to test it out on GCA!
It'll be more funny as a moveable anyway.



Oh no i've said too much.
