Geocaching Australia

Okay, so I just noticed I can create my playing field already and had 84 shots available without finding any caches. I tried firing one and it worked, although a miss. Having fired one my name now appears on the ladder. This would explain why people have points already.

I'd still like to play this game no matter what the scores or when it's run, but I'll wait till after 1st June and go find some caches before I try firing again because I like the idea of how the game runs.

Hey
has there been a stuff up in dates - look at the Game period

Game Period: 01-Jun-2020 00:00:00 to 31-Jul-2021 23:59:59 AEST

Is that meant to be 2021 on both years?

A good pick up. The date has changed since the 15th May 2021 as I copied the text to add to my cache hides and it was correct then.

Sooooo, I guess that means the game has begun.

But I'm also guessing that means it's too late to hide caches that can be found in the game period?

That is pretty poor for the people that have made an effort to hide caches for others to find for the game. Well not so much for the hiders, but there finders cant use them to get there battleship finished.

Is this change a mistake?

No a glitch I reckon. I will be waiting till 1 June 2021

It's a glitch which has been corrected. The ladder and all playing fields have been removed. Apologies for the issue and confusion.

That you caughtatwork
I thought it would have been a glitch, it didnt make sense

Thank you for clearing that up.

The games are just about to begin. A big thank you to all the "die hard" GCA cachers who have placed new caches for us Taswegians to find.

Let's sink a few battleships. Happy hunting.

I've got a new GeoArt series and a collection of puzzles up here in Northern NSW which will keep me busy for the month. Thanks so much to the hiders!

The firing has started. With all the choices we managed two geoart todays which was great fun. Thanks gooseandegg and stainless_steel_rat. We also had fun firing but not sure if a glitch. The points in the firing page are double the points on the ladder. The ladder is showing the correct points going on what we hit.

Thanks for that report. It was in deed an incorrect display. This has now been corrected.

Another glitch perhaps. Just hid a cache GA21450 and didn't receive a shot to fire.
Found 36 hides and hidden 1, only received 36 shots. Can the faeries please check?

Thanks for that report. Please check again. It looks like when I decided to exclude moveable from finds I excluded it from both.
