Temporary caches

[-cheeto-]

This is why a reward/prize should be given to all teams for doing x number of temps as an activity, like I proposed in my candidate’s corner response. Perhaps, 80% or some threshold. Without a reward/prize (like at the 09 campout), some participants out there wonder, “what’s the point?”

The temp cache activity should not be tied to the general raffle prizes as it seems this causes some to feel the general “door prize” raffle becomes unfair.

If it’s not tied to the general raffle then there is absolutely no way that it would be unfair. At that point, all attendees have the same chance of winning a door prize.

All attendees have a choice to participate in the temp cache activity with an opportunity to “win” something for doing that activity. If you choose to socialize or hunt permanent caches than so be it. You’ve had a fair shot at the door prize and chosen to not go for the temp cache “prize”.

I’m not volunteering for the 2010 camp-out committee but by nature of being voted to the BOD (please?) I would attempt to make it “fair” in the eyes of all members.

As a side note, I agree with Averith’s post 100%

No the choice is made for us by only giving tickets for temp caches. That decreases my chances in a drawing where I don’t like temps because I choose to go after ones I can get credit for in the same area!

CAKE ANYONE 😕 (not directed at you Jerry’s Dad, just a generalization of this entire debate. It’s a choice, smiley for your stats, temp find for a ticket)

I do like -cheeto-‘s idea regarding the separation of the general door prize drawing and some token item for gathering x number of temps.

Yes somebody who gets it! Would that really be hard to do?
