So, it turns out it was cancelled after all?
I had the bogus link taken down. I laughed at the joke but as a joke it belongs in the forums not in the official WGA annoucements. It could only have been approved…or put there…by a BOD member, which is…interesting.
On the Left Side of the Road...Thinking about this some more…
Supposedly “All events submitted will be reviewed by one of our admins before they are listed.”
Really?
Well if Marc didn’t submit it…and we didn’t submit it…and I know damn well s|s didn’t submit it…???
Yeah, the joking around is fine but doesn’t it make sense to keep that to the forums rather than through the main resources of the WGA site? Is that type of “annoucement” the thing that’s going to get people jazzed about the association?
On the Left Side of the Road...Martinis and popcorn.

Well, I see you have a Tour listed. But how did I become involved?
I don’t know who the heck put that out there. I assumed it was you. I was ignoring it until you brought it up, and now I’ll go back to ignoring it again.

Need help? Want to learn the ropes?
How hard could it be? You drive up to the guard rail or road sign and say, “It’s over there, now get out.”
This whole episode bores me. I have paint to watch dry. See ya later. 🙄

Yeah but I already knew that information and I still can’t solve 2 of em!
Would you like us to take you on a puzzle tour? 😈
On the Left Side of the Road...Like a bad burritto, this feeling too shall pass.
On the Left Side of the Road...In case y’all weren’t paying attention, seldom just layed out the solves for a whole mess o’ puzzles above!

so…..the Running Grounds?
Well heck, then I’d have to claim half of Camelot, 1/4 of Mathatopia, and a good chunk of northern Sellzup. 😆 You gotta cover a lot of ground to get in those distance training runs.
On the Left Side of the Road...Keeping in mind this is all for fun…the kingdoms should be named after cache characteristics or geo-features of the respective areas.
And, no offense to Z’s mad graphicz skillz, but the map’s just getting way out of hand. I still like TBC’s draft 2 from November 2008, and it’s the one we stole for our “Movie Night in Mathatopia” cache.
On the Left Side of the Road...Uhhhhh…I still don’t get it. Yah it’s pronounced (sort of) “Pull-aski,” but it doesn’t make any sense.
On the Left Side of the Road...What the heck is the “Kingdom of Pulls???”
Since the only caches in that kingdom belong to us, I think we have a right to know!
On the Left Side of the Road...Not bad but it puts Sellzup way up into Seymour which is not correct, nor will it ever be.

But a finder decided to walk on the ice in the middle of winter to go find the cache, is the finder making the find cheaper for himself? Previous finders?
Depends. Do the finders need to bring an ATV, ice auger, and underwater camera to find the cache–verus a boat and snorkel in the summer?
Is the risk of falling through the ice and the extra time spent digging a cache out of the snow versus finding it under a log on the island worth the same?
Might actually be harder in the winter. Might be about the same difficulty but different type of difficulty. Might be easier.
Point being…you are talking about a different topic here…hunting caches at night versus the daytime; stormy weather versus sunny skies, etc. Solving a puzzle is a different topic, I would maintain.
On the Left Side of the Road...Marc, aren’t you supposed to be eating pizza?

And that is, after all, the standard definition of finding a cache – find the container.
I want to clear them off my radar screen.
Hmmm. This definition to me is like drinking decaf coffee. Why bother?
Back to my marathon example. The objective of a marathon is to cross the finish line. Now, I am not a competitive runner and I harm absolutely no one if I cut a few miles off the course. It would sure be easier, and I’d get my finisher’s medal just like everyone else (if no one caught me!).
But then…why bother? I didn’t run the race as it was designed to be run. And really my medal–my 5/5, if you will–didn’t come with the same effort as everyone else. But hey, my stats are my own, I ran the race the way I wanted to, and I’ve got another marathon off the radar screen.
Whether it’s logging a puzzle one hasn’t solved, shortcutting a difficult multi by just wandering around, hopping a fence to turn a 4-mile walk T4 into a T1, or whatever, one hasn’t found the cache the way the owner intended, and that–in my view–is part of the game too.

Much like the challenge of a 5 terrain cache, the satisfaction comes in doing it yourself and actually earning the find.
There you have it.
But so far, no one has found a way to make a living off this sport, so it’s all just academic.
