After seeing some DNFs on this series already (who knew Wikipedia doesn’t always have the right answers?) I really think the checker link is a good idea. On all puzzles. Simply saves time and gas. That’s my 2 cents, anyway.

Here is a list of the cache titles:

Can’t find this one listed on gc for some reason.

perhaps it’s time to ween the area cachers off of the need for a checker.
I dunno. I don’t see a downside to the checker at all. It’s good to know you’re going to the right spot, lest you solve a puzzle, oh let’s say some Dr. Who themed one, only to find that you had a few numbers wrong due to differences in interpretation.
Geochecker saves gas!
On the Left Side of the Road...A bit confused…I had thought these were all connected to a “master puzzle” cache. I.e., solve all 10, then solve for the bonus, or something like that. Are these instead just going to trickle in whenever they are done?

Wait, is woo-hoo two words?
On the Left Side of the Road...😆
On the Left Side of the Road...We are doing one cache for the whole Star Trek “franchise,” unless Mr. 5-digits decrees otherwise.
On the Left Side of the Road...If this is going to be opened back up to rework and/or new submissions, I have one that might work. I’m not a graphic artist, so someone would have to clean it up and give it the right colors. Just a concept…
On the Left Side of the Road...We’d be in for Star Trek…I know I could come up with some Jolene Blalock trivia…

What if an owner really does want 2 containers to be hidden? 🙂

That would be “lame” 😆

If the particular cache in questin is the one I think you are talking about I know the owners are not out of the game just taking a break for more important things in life.
I understand your point if in fact you are certain, but always make sure before you remove or try to have a cache archived because you think the owner is out of the game.
No, you don’t actually, but…perhaps this thread should have been framed as:
Should a LCG player just go ahead and replace a cache without involving the owner?
And on that point you have, if unintentionally, made my case for me.
Besides the fact that one should, as a rule, not remove a non-owned cache without going through the proper reviewer/rescue procedure, you stress that you shouldn’t make assumptions. You shouldn’t just grab a cache out of the field. You shouldn’t try to have a cache archived for a non-legitimate reason. All these things have proper channels and procedures.
And what do they all have in common?
They all INVOLVE THE OWNER. “Needs archived,” “needs maintenance,” heck, any log on a cache gets sent to the owner. At that point, the owner is involved, or should be. If they don’t act and there’s a problem (i.e., a missing cache), the reviewer/process takes over.
So, following that same line of thought, why would it be then OK to simply replace an owner’s cache without involving the owner? Because if there is a problem with ownership, you have just perpetuated it.
And also, if you just go ahead and replace a cache that you believe is missing, you are also “acting on the assumption” that the owner would want you to replace his or her cache. What if your assumption was wrong? (i.e., we would NOT want this done for us.)
I have no problem with replacing caches for owners, and we have done so ourselves, when it involves the owners.

Are we sure these owners are acutally out of the game or just put behind due to life circumstances?
…
Make sure that you know the entire story before jumping to conclusions.Well, the particular circumstances that I know, the owner has gotten out of the game, but that is beside the point.
My point is that the LCG game is replacing or repairing caches that, for whatever reason, the owner is not attending to. Some believe that this is a good practice because it keeps those caches in play and helps out owners. I do not believe this is a good practice because it exacerbates the cycle of owner non-maintenance. (Not to mention duplicate caches because of the assumption one is missing and other issues…)
That is the discussion I am trying to raise here.

Does anybody else think this thread should be moved to the “Off Topic” section?
What difference does it make? (Serious question)
