Hey I noticed that I have a different rank now and can allocate more points. And I'm a Merchant - sounds very superior
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
But I can't find the place that tells me how this is allocated? The Wiki doesn't list the details of how many points gives you what. At least I don't think it does? Or is this a secret? And maybe in this thread of 12 pages there is something?
Maybe I need 1,000 to become a Knight and 2,000 to be a dZoner? Is there anything higher than that?

There's a bit of explanation on page 10 of this thread. Level 20 is currently the highest but given how the points look for each level (this hadn't been explained) even Rogerw3 won't be there for a while.

Just checking... If I have found a moveable cache in the past, and a few others have found it since, can I allocate more dZ points when I find it again? is that how Rita Angel
http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga6600 got so many Cerberus points?

You can add dZ points to a cache when you find it. However the minimum time period for allocating points is 7 days. If you find a movable cache 2 days after your last find and you have already allocated points, you can't do it again. In this case you need to have some patience padwan.

Ahhh, you have spotted the flaw. Well, not a flaw, but an enhanced method of playing the game. GCA geocaches do not have to have any separation of distance. We don't need no stinkin' rules. Anyway, get someone to hide an ammo can with 365 micros inside it. Each micro is its own cache. So you now have 365 geocaches just down the road that you can visit, one a day until you hit the streak
![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Of course that only works for micros. Getting 365 larges (at 20litres or more) would be rather a lot harder and stand out a bit more:

Ahh, it says "non-potable" not "non-portable" so you could still make it a moveable.
