What the heck - we're in!

You can only give it a go and have some fun along the way!

That's the spirit people.

There are currently 71 people / teams registered with three from the US and one from Germany involved.

Only a week to go and you all get the requirements.

Please read the rules. While they are similar to last year, there are a couple of differences.

I'm not entirely sure I know what this game is. I must have been living under a rock last year.

Can you give me a better idea of what the plan is?

Do you issue a requirement like; 10points for all caches over 300 metres above sea level or something? and then we all race off finding the highest cache we can?

Or do you nominate actual caches that need to be found?

and when you say 20 requirements, does that mean 20 caches? We need to find 20 caches in the time frame that maximise our points?

I am likely to be moving during this time and trying to work out if its possible for me to participate given i'll be half in Australia, half in the US and possibly every where in between, plus moving, so will have limited time.

It does sound quite cool though. Forgive me, I'm a stickler for the details, not a very go with the flow kind of person.

What? You expect a heads up? Sorry, you'll all find out what the requirements are on the 1st of May

Be prepared (ha, I made a funny) to live up to the expectations of River Deep and Mountain High though.

It's only a week or so away.

Yep read that and read the expanded rules as well. I guess you just have to be in it to understand.

I think you will be at an advantage. Check out the top scorers from last year (Fleet to Federation), most would have logged caches in more than one state.

The requirements for last year's game Fleet to Federation are at http://www.cachinggames.com/fleettofede ... ements.php, and I would guess they will be in similar vein for this game. For example, placing a GCA cache was one of the requirements.

If you can do something like Tastes Like Failure, you should be fine to accumulate a staggering number of points in the game.

You might change your mind once you find out what you need to do
