I know what it says!!!! After using my Little Orphan Annie Secret Decoder Ring, Heres the solution:
Drink More Ovaltine.
A stupid crummy commercial? Aww Nuts!!!

Yup, thanks.. I figured starting a new topic since it was slightly different. The numbers shown don’t answer the number of members, just how many votes were received. With 5 votes per team, I don’t know the algebraic solution to reverse engineer the numbers. but you are probably right or very close.

Tim has it all charted out to be at 1000 by a certain time. If it takes them that long, I’d be surprised!

In a related subtopic: How about how fellow geocachers pronounce your geo handle if it could be ambiguous?
Did wzbt03 ever dream he’d be called Wizbit?
brkster: I thought when I saw it, it was and have other people say “berkster”

Was the act of pressing the wax seal called “caching”?
Lost:
Considering the topic I’m not sure I’d agree with your tagline! LOL

It’s definitely NOT a numbers game to us, although sometimes our sprees in Rockford, Chicago or Milwaukee may imply that. Ms. WISearcher and I have not been (geo) caching (almost slipped, Ken! in almost 2 months. For us IT IS about enjoying the sunset, killing mosquitoes, getting wet, singing the praises of a well hidden cache, hearing & seeing absolutely nothing manmade, and spending time with friends, your significant other and family.
We’re not the ones in question, but for about 4 caches one time, we did split up and pair off so that each team was represented was present at the cache signed, if that makes sense. I don’t see any difference in that to caching without all members of the team. If one has a problem with that, I won’t apologize. That said we don’t purposely cache that way. I am proud of ALL of the caches we’ve done and logged; we’ve earned ALL of them with blisters, sweat, and blood. Apparently some cannot say the same.
I’m aware of the cachers in questions. I’m neither surprised nor do I care much. While I don’t approve of logging a cache for other teams who were not there or represented at all, we all seem to be calling this cheating or unethical.
Devil’s Advocate: Is it really cheating or unethical if the numbers don’t really matter? (to you?) Is it really cheating if it’s not a competition or a game? It’s not either. It’s a unique activity with blogging. People who log a cache as discussed with a coordinated effort, will quickly lose interest (I hope).
So take the stats down, take the milestones forum down, and we’re back to where we should be, an individual challenge. People react to positive reinforcement, and by continuing to applaud these teams, WE (WGA Members) are partially to blame. If it’s still important after deemphasizing numbers on the forum, they will still continue to climb.
These few teams who ARE about the numbers, will continue to artificially inflate numbers and sign generic logs (that don’t verify they were actually there,) will overtake the top of the board eventually and be king or queen of the WGA, & IGOTMESTUFF web page. Hooray!(<
Extreme sarcasm)Remember this WGA royalty: A king is not a king without loyal subjects.
