Munzee Weekly Podcast - Friday October 27th 2023

Craig (00:01.363)
Welcome to the Official Munzee Podcast.

Rob Vardeman (00:04.114)
I'm Rob, also known as Coach V, your host and the president of Munzee.

Craig (00:07.875)
And I'm Craig, also known as SeemyShell. I'm here to explore the world of Munzee from within.

Rob Vardeman (00:16.502)
Each week we'll delve into Munzee's mysteries, discover treasures, and inform players from around the globe just what is coming your way.

Craig (00:23.863)
So sit back, relax as today we talk about as always the week that was and also a few little specials coming up this week as well, along with the Munzee tip of the week as always. Rob, how have you been buddy? Long time no see, it's been a week. I know. You know why?

Rob Vardeman (00:38.186)
I know it's been one whole week, such a long time, but you know what? This one has actually flown by for me.

Craig (00:45.559)
Because you guys haven't been that busy. Thank goodness. Like everything's going smoothly. I'm going to touch wood there. I'm touching my head as we speak because people can't see, but yeah. Mm hmm.

Rob Vardeman (00:54.022)
Yes, please. Technology has been our friend. Everything is holding up. The work has gone in. It's showing things are looking good. And you're right. The when the stress levels come down, I guess the days seem to go quicker, which is very good.

Craig (01:03.66)
Yeah.

Craig (01:09.703)
Yeah, exactly. Exactly. I mean, well, myself, I've been obviously with the clan wars busy because it's coming up to the end of the month. Now my clan, well, I'm going to have to do a shout out Rob, sorry, I'm going to do a shout out to my clan because so with my claims, a quick story rundown, my clan, I developed my plan myself because they're my referrals. Yes, my referrals. Well, all of them except for one. All except for one is a referral of mine as such. So I developed these guys. They're all Australians. So they're all

Rob Vardeman (01:28.742)
Oh really? Ay!

Craig (01:39.019)
live over in Australia. I'm going to give a shout out PurpleCacheEater, Hidz,  GCjazz, Tats Viper 101 and KnoAngel as well. Tats and Viper 101 are a father son team as well. Yeah, so that's pretty cool. I love how with clan wars and people, you can probably all relate to this as well. It brings you together Rob. Now, all these players, they're obviously geocaches as well like I am as well.

Rob Vardeman (01:50.679)
Oh cool.

Craig (02:04.695)
But Geocaching sort of brought us together as friends to begin with. But then when I started playing Munzee and they saw how much enjoyment I got, they started playing Munzee with me. And now Munzee lets us play together, Rob. We can play together from across the world. How's that? I know. I know, I know, it is, it is. Also a quick shout out as well to Super Chuckles. Now, why am I shouting out Super Chuckles? I wonder. Well, Super Chuckles, just the other day, two days ago, he capped one of my

Rob Vardeman (02:18.158)
across the world and you play together. Isn't that amazing?

Craig (02:34.651)
my virtuals in a garden. And in doing so he looked and saw, Oh, look at this. It's a see my shell one. And so he actually wrote a comment, which is very, very rare comments on virtuals are extremely photos are extremely rare, but he commented, Hey, it's the podcast guy.

Rob Vardeman (02:46.439)
Yes.

Rob Vardeman (02:52.338)
Don't you love being, hey, it's the podcast guy. I think that's actually really cool.

Craig (02:54.76)
You know what that yeah, I saw a message in back straight away and said look Thanks for listening mate, and you know this proves that I do play myself as well. You know, I'm not just the podcast guy I'm a player. I'm a player for almost so yeah

Rob Vardeman (03:04.014)
Absolutely, absolutely. It's the social piece of the game that's actually really cool because you can play with players around the world. That's what plans are good for. That kind of thing. So yeah, that's great to hear.

Craig (03:08.167)
Yep. Yes. Mm hmm. Yeah.

Exactly. And I love how we literally place things for each other within our clan, you know. So I'm placing stuff in Port Macquarie in Australia, in Central Coast Australia, in North Coast Australia. Like I'm placing them everywhere. And then of course I do, I love a garden rob as well. And we'll get to those gardens very soon, but I do love a garden. Just saying. Yes, I do.

Rob Vardeman (03:33.846)
Yes, you do. Yes, you do. One more thing about the referral piece, the fact that you've built your own clan there, the more points they get, the more points you get. Did you know that? You actually get those referral points coming through.

Craig (03:38.464)
Mm-hmm.

Mmm.

Craig (03:43.983)
Correct, correct. Exactly, and speaking of referral points, now this is gonna blow some people's mind. Joshua, the geocaching vlogger, right? I'm his, one of his referrals, Rob. So the amount I cap and play, he caps, he gets points as well. But guess what, Rob, guess what? I'm playing that hard compared to him that I'm catching him in points. Yes, it's gonna be slower than ordinary because he gets points from me.

Rob Vardeman (03:54.39)
Mm-hmm.

Rob Vardeman (04:13.006)
That's right.

Craig (04:13.015)
but I'm still catching him. I'm catching him. I'm nearly there Rob, I'm nearly there. I know that that's my probably my biggest goal at the moment when it comes to Munzee is to catch the GCV, just saying. Ha ha ha.

Rob Vardeman (04:16.935)
Goals, you know, got to have goals.

Rob Vardeman (04:24.071)
Boom. You can do it. I believe that you can do it.

Craig (04:27.439)
Exactly. What else has been happening for you this week, Rob, before we move on to the actual activities and what's going to happen?

Rob Vardeman (04:33.674)
Yeah, like I mentioned, it was sort of a chill time. So easy breezy weekend for me allowed me to kind of kick back. I was hanging out with Lou's parents and her brother and some of that kind of stuff and his family. Yeah. So I got to become a casual player instead of like a frantic, worried overseer of Munzee, which was quite nice.

Craig (04:37.123)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (04:46.857)
No.

Craig (04:56.415)
Yes, yes. Well, I can see you, Rob, like, you know, you're there worrying about things and because you're in a different time zone over in the UK as well. And so you'd be there with a laptop on one leg and your phone on the other leg and you're whacking away, whacking away, whacking the whole time and like, what, you know, this guy didn't never get to break, you never, you know, but, but now you are now you're like, you know what, I'm gonna go out and have a walk and actually cap some of the cute what they call the qRZ is when they go to sleep, but they called again, cruises.

Rob Vardeman (05:02.817)
Yeah.

Rob Vardeman (05:10.702)
Thanks for watching!

Yep.

Rob Vardeman (05:23.265)
Oh, yeah, cruisies sleep seas. Yeah. Yep. Yep

Craig (05:25.379)
Cruises. Yeah. You're going to go for a walk and cap some cruises, you know? So, but yeah.

Rob Vardeman (05:28.434)
Yeah, no, it's been great. And the other part about when the stress is all taken away is that the gameplay team gets to take over and really have a good time. So we have spent a lot of time this last week kind of planning out what the rest of this year looks like. And we're all very excited about it.

Craig (05:37.11)
Yeah.

Craig (05:43.647)
Exactly. And don't forget to stay to the end because Rob has a tip of the week. That's very, I like this tip of the week, but just saying, just saying. But meanwhile, what has happened this week? The week that was we had a mega in South Carolina over the last weekend with space coast, good old, you know, uh, die and, and Dale, they were there. Um, Dale and Bob, what'd I say die for? Where'd I get die from?

Rob Vardeman (05:50.209)
Yeah.

Rob Vardeman (06:00.982)
Dailin Barb? I don't know. You know what, it was even Barb's birthday. So, you know, they won't be on the road this week. So I don't know if they'll listen to us or not. Maybe they will, maybe they won't. We'll have to find out.

Craig (06:07.219)
It was too. Yeah.

Craig (06:14.591)
Well, Bob will, but I don't know about that. But anyway, they were there. They had 34 attendees as well. There was other events in seven different countries over the weekend. There was a everyone had full server power as well. Finland, England, Canada, Germany, Denmark. So what about the leaderboard? Well, what was the leaderboard like over the weekend? Yeah.

Rob Vardeman (06:26.123)
Yeah.

Rob Vardeman (06:32.766)
Events spread out everywhere and the leaderboard kind of shows where those players were. Eagle Dad and Xenia with almost 700,000 points on Friday and Gony Girl a close second. They were both in South Carolina. Gony Girl, actually both of them were co-hosts to those events throughout the weekend. Yeah, so there were eight players over the million mark on Saturday and here they are in order.

Craig (06:45.303)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (06:49.343)
Oh, that's cool.

Rob Vardeman (07:00.618)
Waylon, Nabitzitu, Anabanana, The Lanes, Eagledad, Naxenia, KPR 1000, and Megan0015. And that was Saturday.

Craig (07:00.675)
Nice.

Craig (07:09.655)
And that was Saturday as well. We spoke about Whelan on the last episode. Whelan does the YouTube channel as well with the event. So let's see if he's actually done a little event video for that, I'm hoping so. Yeah, so do I. Definitely.

Rob Vardeman (07:14.029)
Mm-hmm.

Rob Vardeman (07:22.006)
Yeah, hope he has hope he has. Well, we'll have to be looking for that. So we'll get it done. Saturday, we had just love because and Cole Cracker 7. They both were over 200,000. So as you can see, everybody calmed down on Sunday. Yeah.

Craig (07:36.251)
on the Sunday. Yeah, that's right on the Sunday itself. Exactly. And as they would as well. But in saying that on Friday and Saturday with the Eagle Dads and Xenia, that's a really tongue twister. So they were hosting the event and got in the top 10 on both those days, top one Friday, top 10 on Saturday. How busy is that? How busy is that?

Rob Vardeman (07:44.766)
and Xenia here.

Yeah.

Rob Vardeman (07:52.106)
Yeah.

Rob Vardeman (07:57.81)
Yeah, deploys and yeah, very, very busy. Deploys lots of walking, traveling around all over town. I know how they play and they really enjoy their, I believe, top 10 in the world spot and do everything they can to protect it. Gary, who is Eagle Dad, is the number one badge hoarder in the world as well. Yeah. So he. Yeah.

Craig (08:06.695)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Craig (08:13.612)
No, yes, there you go. Mm hmm.

Craig (08:22.627)
Oh, wow. Wow, there you go. Shout out to him.

Rob Vardeman (08:26.634)
He goes everywhere so he can get more badges. That's his traveling style. Yep.

Craig (08:29.311)
Mm-hmm. Why wouldn't you? Why wouldn't you? Now we've got only a few events on this weekend coming up though. No megas at all There's an event in Pennsylvania and Florida in tomorrow on Saturday and a little-known town known as yes in New South Wales Australia on Sunday. Yes

Rob Vardeman (08:46.198)
Man, this one's all about Australia today. You've got little pieces thrown in everywhere. It's amazing. Yep.

Craig (08:49.679)
Eh, well...

Funny that, funny that. I will say Rob, this podcast, it's the most listened to podcast is obviously from the US, right? Obviously, but between the UK and Australia is the next one. So normally sometimes it's Australia, sometimes the UK who would listen to this podcast. So there you go. I'm just feeding the viewership, you know, that's what it is.

Rob Vardeman (09:00.598)
Right. Yeah.

Rob Vardeman (09:11.04)
Like.

Rob Vardeman (09:14.514)
right? That's a good thing. Our biggest player base is in the US, so it's not fair to say, oh, okay. So yeah, a battle for second and third is good.

Craig (09:18.211)
Mm hmm. This is true. This is true. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Now, this is obviously an audio podcast, but people look this up after you listen to this podcast, right? I'm talking about Yes, the town of Yes, it's a little town in the middle of New South Wales. Not many people there. It's not very big population, etc. But it has a McDonald's. Look up, just look up picture McDonald's in Yes, like on the billboard sign as you go into Yes, just saying.

You think of that, Rob, how does McDonald's only have just the big M and then yes, so that's what it says. Yeah, exactly. Anyway, we're moving on.

Rob Vardeman (09:50.518)
Yeah.

Rob Vardeman (09:57.042)
Love it. And yes is Y-A-S-S in case anyone wants to check it out.

Craig (09:59.571)
Y-A-S-S, yeah, yes, Y-A-S-S. Now there's more events obviously on the event page itself and link are in the show notes. And what else is happening, Rob, from now until, we're getting into what's happening now, apart from, actually, sorry, I'm gonna get back here, the good boys Secret Zeops, they're finishing. They're finishing. Well, they're finishing to purchase. Yeah. Mm-hmm, that's a good idea.

Rob Vardeman (10:17.214)
Oh, yes. Yeah. Right. They're going to be vaulted, let's say, because, you know, we bring the secret Z ops out from time to time, like as we release a new one, sometimes we'll throw some of the old ones out there because we love to see those mechs on the map. And that's the way for you to earn the mechs. But yes, it's leaving on the 31st.

Craig (10:28.123)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (10:31.384)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (10:37.718)
Exactly.

But if you've already purchased it and you're halfway through playing it, don't freak out. It's not gonna just disappear. That's what you guys do the best. You don't just make things disappear after you've actually purchased it with your Zs.

Rob Vardeman (10:51.559)
I just finished the one from last November last week. So yeah, sometimes they take forever, yeah.

Craig (10:54.851)
Really? And that's you. Well, I'll be telling you now, I'm actually playing one at the moment. I can't even remember which one. It's a one from long ago. Cause I remember you guys released them again, all of them in one. So I grabbed one of course long ago. And yeah, this one's taking me forever. Why? After last week, we spoke about the B and the Wallaby and the, you know what I mean? I've got to catch five of those things now, Rob. Five, you put a hex on me. So.

Rob Vardeman (11:16.577)
Yeah.

Rob Vardeman (11:22.684)
Yeah, that may take you a little bit of time.

Craig (11:24.607)
Yes, yes it will. It will. But we've also got witches, witches potions now. They're only available as well till this November 6th. November 6th? Rob, these potions, they're killing me. I've used several magnets, I'm telling you, on greenies, on virtual, cause that's what they mostly bounce on, I think, I recall. So on greenies and on normal virtuals, I'm still missing three of the virtuals, actually, sorry, two after this morning. Ha ha ha. And seven of the physicals. And you know what, Rob,

Rob Vardeman (11:31.426)
Mm-hmm. Yes. Yeah.

Craig (11:53.931)
I look back on, on Cuppa Z. I looked because I love Cuppa, love Cuppa Z. Big shout out to Cuppa Z and Sam. I scrolled through my, uh, my Cuppa Z to have a look at the seasonals. I have not completed one at all ever. I mean, I'm playing only playing hard for 18 months. I'll give me that, but I've never completed a full set role. Never. Just saying, just saying.

Rob Vardeman (12:15.766)
Hmm that hmm that there. Yeah. Well, we've been talking about sort of a rebuild of landing pads in general and What lands where in order to kind of spread the wealth a little bit? So maybe there will be something coming up soon that will make it a little bit easier for people I mean you play as you said last week you play hard. So it's not like you're not trying and through the use of magnets like shouldn't

Craig (12:25.319)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Craig (12:38.119)
Yeah. No.

Rob Vardeman (12:44.65)
It shouldn't be impossible. I guess that's where it shouldn't be. Um, so I got some good news for you. Uh, last week, right? Well, it is mainly for you because last week we talked about how the Friday, the 13th, um, ingredients were rather difficult. Neither of us got the badge that was associated with that. Um, I said that maybe, and it was a conspiracy theory that, um, Jason might return yet again, and he did.

Craig (12:46.248)
No. That's right.

Tell me, tell me, tell me. Well, tell us.

Craig (13:02.085)
Mmm.

Rob Vardeman (13:14.154)
All of his ingredients, they're back out and they are gonna be out through Halloween. So you and I both need to try a little bit harder this time.

Craig (13:19.066)
Oh.

Craig (13:22.231)
So I'm going to have to click more Magnus again now and get back into it. Jeez. I like it. Yeah.

Rob Vardeman (13:26.242)
Yeah, you know, that's one way that is one way and I'm gonna jump back around to this topic again in just a minute with something else new that just came out. Mm hmm. Okay, well, we'll talk about it right now then rat laws so rat laws, the fortune teller. It's the fortune teller machine. Okay. And one of the things rat laws squeaks. That's what

Craig (13:32.856)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (13:36.523)
Oh really? Tell me, tell me, tell me!

Yeah. What?

Craig (13:48.491)
Yeah?

Rob Vardeman (13:53.13)
all of the little fortune cards say.

Craig (13:53.231)
Well, hang on, hang on, Rob, you did just put it right now. I can see the actual photo in the show notes, right? It is a rat and it's in a fortune teller. Now I've seen this before, Rob. I've seen this before. It's a rat with a, with a crystal ball holding a crystal ball. And he's in a rat laws, like one of those, what do you call it? Those machines where you put your money in and he tells you fortune. I've seen that down on the Jersey shore.

Rob Vardeman (14:17.486)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (14:19.703)
but it doesn't say rat laws, but it would say rat laws if I put a mirror in front of it, just saying. Hey, see, I pick up on these things. I pick up on these things.

Rob Vardeman (14:24.414)
Hey, hey, maybe so. This was one of those big ideas, you know, that we came up with and used. Are you familiar with the movie Big?

Craig (14:32.351)
Yeah!

Craig (14:36.639)
Yes, yes. Oh yeah, I know big Tom Hanks. Yeah. Oh, I like it. I like it.

Rob Vardeman (14:39.922)
So there you go. This is where it all comes from. So there's a tie in there as well. So yeah, so anyway, guess what? Ratlaws has the ability to attract the witches' ingredients. What? Yes, it becomes a landing pad for those. You can't magnetize it, but if you capture it, so you have one of these, you deploy it.

Craig (14:47.132)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (14:57.373)
Oh!

Craig (15:00.67)
Oh.

Nah.

Rob Vardeman (15:07.19)
Um, every day, one thing is going to be magnetized and land on it. It might be one of these mobs. Yeah. Otherwise.

Craig (15:11.079)
Mm hmm. Oh, oh, that's interesting. So these rat laws, fortune teller machines are similar to, uh, what the dice towers. Is that them? Yeah. Mm hmm. Okay. Yep.

Rob Vardeman (15:20.31)
Mm hmm. Yeah, it's very much like the Dice Tower. This one lasts 13 days, though, so there's a tiny bit of difference. It's going to draw a bouncer at the beginning each day. So you'll have one of those and then you capture that one. Then it acts as a landing pad. Anyone else is able to capture it. So if a bouncer does land on it, you want to go ahead and try and get that quickly. It could be a mob. It could be a list of any of the other bouncers that you will see.

Craig (15:31.001)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (15:38.572)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (15:44.162)
Yep.

Rob Vardeman (15:50.126)
Halloween skins, some of that kind of stuff, the spooky ones. Those will land on it. And yeah, you want to keep an eye on rat laws. I will tell you that

Craig (15:51.696)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (16:01.16)
Ah, see, see now I look back at one of my clan, obviously Tats and Viper, they're a father and son duo team. They could, how many, how many of these can you buy? How many firstly?

Rob Vardeman (16:10.658)
So each account you could buy two. You could deploy them, I suppose, at the same time or whenever. Have multiples.

Craig (16:13.676)
Two for each kit.

Craig (16:18.411)
Well, no, I'm thinking, I'm thinking the other way around. Have, have one person deploy one and then they both can cap that one for the 13 days. And then they can deploy another one in the 13 days. Rob, can these move as well? Please tell me they can move. Oh, yes. Yes. Mm hmm.

Rob Vardeman (16:23.22)
Mm-hmm.

Yes?

Rob Vardeman (16:32.026)
Yes, just like the Dice Tower and the mailbox. So this is a spinoff from the mailbox. So yeah, you can move these, update them daily, that kind of thing. If it has a bouncer on it and you move it, the bouncer gets nudged and is gone. We don't want people putting them out of reach and getting a bouncer and then pulling it back to their location. That's rude. Yeah.

Craig (16:40.517)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (16:48.387)
Yes. No, that makes sense. That makes sense. It's a game guys, it's a game. We play this evenly and fairly and it's for everyone, for everyone. What else have I got? I've got the questions I've got of this. This is really, because I'm thinking to myself, I see it on the water cooler, on the water cooler Facebook page. If you didn't know what that is, go to Facebook, type in Munzee water cooler and make sure you join up because they have a lot of information there as well. But there are people that have asked, I've seen this question Robert asked four times in the last 12 months.

Rob Vardeman (16:57.618)
True.

Rob Vardeman (17:06.028)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (17:18.339)
I'm going on a cruise. How can I keep up my streak when I'm on a cruise? This is the perfect way for you to keep your streak on a cruise. Ha ha ha.

Rob Vardeman (17:22.882)
Mm-hmm.

Rob Vardeman (17:27.298)
This is very, very handy. Can you deploy this in the middle of the ocean? Yes, you can. Capture it within 1,000 feet. Cool. I mean, it's definitely one of those ways that you can do that. Yeah, it works out well. You do have to capture it 13 days in a row. Only the person who deploys it can get the prizes from it. So you receive a fortune card that comes with a prize. But...

Craig (17:33.59)
Yeah.

Cool, easy done.

Craig (17:40.836)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (17:46.275)
Yes.

Craig (17:50.239)
Okay, yes.

Rob Vardeman (17:55.126)
It is available for anyone else to capture. So you are getting those daily points and the possibility of bouncers and all that for anyone else local. Yeah.

Craig (18:02.706)
That's perfect. Wow, wow, wow. So when are these going to be available for us? Yesterday, Thursday, there we go. Look at that. Ha ha ha.

Rob Vardeman (18:05.206)
Yeah.

Oh, yesterday. That's the nice part. Yeah. So they are they're here. They're ready. Ratlaws is out there for everybody to have some fun with. They're going to be available for until I believe they're going to be available until early November to purchase those. So don't quote me instead. Just read the blog, which is linked in the show notes.

Craig (18:15.335)
Mm-hmm. Yep. Mm-hmm.

Craig (18:25.511)
Okay. Yep. Yes. Correct. And of course, available to is available. Make sure you grab yourself both of them. Use the first one now so you can get all those little extra points and, and bounces and stuff as well. And maybe hold on to the other one and in case you're going away on a trip. Hmm. Yes.

Rob Vardeman (18:45.5)
Hold it for a rainy day because I don't know when the next of these comes out. No idea, honestly, which says it's not the rest of this year.

Craig (18:50.723)
Fair enough, fair enough, fair enough. All right, so that's, yeah, that's rat laws, rat laws squeaks, I like it, I like it. Now, speaking of the Halloween, et cetera, what else is happening around Halloween now? Cause we're coming up to Halloween, Rob. Couple of days away, yeah.

Rob Vardeman (19:03.894)
Yeah, Halloween is just a couple of days away and we've got flat cat. Flat cat scatters are active through the 29th right now. Yeah. So you remember how we have all these scatter events where when you capture a flat or different type and it scatters things. So, um, this is Mari's, um, flat object. Uh, she's got the flat cats. So these are, you know, her, her cats, they scatter things. Um, mostly stuff that, uh, they steal and hide from her. Uh, there is.

Craig (19:10.456)
Oh, wow.

Yep.

Craig (19:21.912)
Oh, okay.

Craig (19:27.626)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (19:31.724)
That's fair enough.

Rob Vardeman (19:32.702)
Yeah, there is a badge for this weekend for this one. So, yeah, everybody take the opportunity. See if you can get one of those. We've also got the normal buy three, get one free going on with those flats because we tend to do that just in case people don't have the specific one that we're using. Yeah.

Craig (19:35.188)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (19:45.283)
Oh, yep.

Craig (19:49.563)
Yeah, I'll be getting, I'll be getting three or four. So you buy three and get one free. So does that mean you put four in your inventory and you only pay for three? Yeah, yeah.

Rob Vardeman (19:59.598)
Correct. You will see the discount before you check out. And here's the good news. We're not just doing it on Flat Cats. We've actually expanded a Halloween sale because Halloween is on the 31st. We went with a buy three, get one free. Yeah. I mean, we kicked around lots of ideas. A 10% discount because it's the 10th month. But we were like, no, I don't think

Craig (20:04.887)
Perfect.

Craig (20:14.966)
Mm.

Oh, 30 for 31, of course, of course. Look at you guys.

Craig (20:26.88)
Yeah, yeah.

Rob Vardeman (20:29.682)
We wanted to go a little bit more, a little more of a discount than that. So yeah, the, the way that the buy three, get one free works is it's four total items. So if you need at least four items in your cart and, uh, you're getting the least expensive for free. So this is how they work across the entire world. So people haven't figured it out quite yet, but if you buy, let's say three blasts and you have one card in there.

Craig (20:31.379)
Yeah.

Craig (20:39.138)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (20:47.736)
Oh, yep, yep.

Exactly.

Rob Vardeman (20:57.622)
your three blasts are $4 each and you have one card that is $1. Well, you pay $12 and you get a $1 free. Right. Make sure that the value of the items that you're adding are similar. So does that mean that maybe you have to do multiple orders? It's okay. Like that's that that's how things work. Yeah, no big deal.

Craig (20:58.699)
Yeah.

Craig (21:05.599)
and get $1 free. Yeah, don't do that. No. Heh heh heh. Mm-hmm.

Craig (21:18.427)
Yeah. That's well and true. I was going to say that too. I was going to say, if you want to do multiple orders, I'm going to, this is what I'll be doing. I'll be, I'll be doing the flat cats. I'm going to get four flat cats and get one free and then end that, end that order. I'll get the blast. I'll get four blasts, get one free and that order and keep going that way. So it makes sense. Makes sense. And it's, you know what? Keep you guys on your toes. You're shopping your toes. Keep it busy. I like that.

Rob Vardeman (21:41.35)
Oh, oh, it is it is usually quite busy. That's for sure. Uh, we've also got a couple of the things that are happening. What's coming up is the muns pack for November. A reminder to everyone. We talked about it, I believe two weeks ago and said that, um, we're not kicking off the new zodiacs in November. We are delaying that it is December or January. That still is being finalized at this moment. Um, so yeah, we've got that going on.

Craig (21:45.227)
Yep.

Craig (21:49.433)
Mm-hmm.

Yes.

Craig (21:55.791)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (22:00.387)
That's right.

Craig (22:07.945)
Mm-hmm.

Rob Vardeman (22:10.414)
Stay tuned, it's going to be a good pack, but it won't be anything brand new this time.

Craig (22:11.507)
Mm-hmm. Yes, yes.

That's okay. That's okay. Sometimes I like it just a decent wholesome pack like you know, you buy yourself a loaf of bread and some peanut butter and jelly, you know, that's a wholesome sort of, you know, meal. It's not extravagant. It's not as cargo, but you know, it's what it is what it is. Exactly right.

Rob Vardeman (22:28.67)
Nope. It gets you through the days. And you know what? That's what this month's pack will be. It will be wholesome. That's for sure. It will be full. We got gardens of the month that we actually just gave out. Two of those. And you're the garden man. So yeah, what'd you think of those?

Craig (22:42.784)
Oh yes, yes. I do love a garden.

Craig (22:49.791)
I really, I really liked those two. I really enjoyed those two, both of myself, one in Texas and one in Budapest as well. So, and I like it. How are you giving it to now? I don't think you did before. Like I'm talking 12 months ago or so you were only doing like a garden of the month now it's gardens of the month. So it's two.

Rob Vardeman (22:55.182)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Rob Vardeman (23:03.37)
Yeah, I think we used to do one. Sometimes we did two. We've done four. We've I you know what? I I'm going to I'm going to tell you why. It's because of how many nominations we have. We're actually running low on the nominations right now. Right, that's what I was thinking is you tend to make some gardens. It's OK if you self nominate like, you know, we know.

Craig (23:07.443)
Mm-hmm. Yeah. It varies. It varies. Yeah, why?

Craig (23:15.927)
Oh, there you go. Really? Well, I've got a few. Yes, I do.

Craig (23:29.819)
Mm-hmm. But the garden has to be full though to nominate. It has to be finished.

Rob Vardeman (23:31.894)
We know who's putting the nominations in, but everyone else doesn't.

It is, I was going to say it's supposed to be full, but yes, it does have to be full. It has to have the virtual garden POI and you can actually find like, Hey, how do I nominate? I didn't know that every single garden of the month blog post has it at the bottom. There's a link. It tells everyone. Yeah.

Craig (23:40.227)
supposed to be full. Yeah. Yep.

Craig (23:46.062)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (23:51.126)
Mm.

Craig (23:55.411)
Mm hmm. There you go. It's it's easy guys. It's easy.

Rob Vardeman (24:01.146)
It might even send you like to the help manual. So we're sending you on a little bit of a wild goose chase, but that's all right because you're still gonna find it. So please send in some nominations because we wanna see some really nice gardens and we wanna give more of these out.

Craig (24:03.713)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. Exactly. Yes.

Craig (24:15.743)
And the more, as you said, the more nominations you get, the more gardens get gardens over the month, which is pretty cool. Now, going back to the flat cats, though, Rob, you say they scatter. Guess what I've built? I'm not sure if you know or not, but in Lismore, and people can look it up this as well, Lismore in New South Wales, Australia, a friend of mine, obviously I've got two actually friends there who are in my clan, Hills, Hills is a cat lover. She loves cats. So I built a flat cat garden that looks like a flat cat pin.

Rob Vardeman (24:23.212)
Mm-hmm.

Rob Vardeman (24:43.959)
Wow.

Craig (24:44.123)
Exactly the same looks exactly the same. I did a good job on it. I'll pat myself on the back here. Yes, I did It's not full yet. It's not full yet. It's not full yet. So I can't actually nominate it just yet itself. But it's getting there, Rob. And again, Shout out again to the Facebook pages with the garden Facebook pages. Well, there's two that I am actually part of

Rob Vardeman (24:49.707)
Maybe maybe that local player. Oh.

Craig (25:05.971)
If you've built a garden guys and you jump on the garden Facebook page, make sure you publish it on there. And also in the discord server as well. If you're that way inclined in discord, you can publish your garden. There's actually a garden link in the discord. And if you're looking as well, if you're looking to put something in a garden, hit those three up first, hit the discord up and hit the two, uh, Facebook page. That's what I do. That's, that's what I do every single day. When I go to do my daily publish, um, or what do you call it? Deploy deploy. What does that publish?

Rob Vardeman (25:32.491)
Yeah.

Craig (25:34.059)
Daily deploy, I'll go to the garden section first. I'll see what I've got, see what they want, and then go from there. So yes, there you go.

Rob Vardeman (25:40.818)
I think that's a great idea, good habit to get into because if you're looking for clam points, which by the way, clam requirements come out tomorrow. If you're looking for clam points in any specific category, then guess what? Go looking for a garden in order to get those specific things out there. And who knows, maybe a flat cat garden wouldn't be a bad thing for November for some extra points. Hint, hint.

Craig (25:43.926)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (25:49.186)
Yes.

Craig (25:53.676)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (26:07.291)
Exactly, exactly. Hit, hit. There we go. We get, see, we get these little tidbits from you, Rob. I love it. I really do. Um, so you saying clan wars though, out tomorrow. That's all you're going to say. You're not going to say any more than that. Cause a blog post comes out tomorrow in regards to the clan wars, what we need and requirements to do. So yeah, yeah. And just to let everyone know as well. I see, I see people go, Oh my goodness, the clan wars are too hard. They're too hard. Well, no, that's why there's the levels. There's you've made.

Rob Vardeman (26:23.622)
Yeah, yeah, that's all I got.

Craig (26:34.019)
There used to be five, there's now six levels I've seen. That's kind of new in the last sort of six to 12 months. So there's six levels now. So the massive, massive players, we're talking about the Wielands and the others are there. They can actually go up to level six because level six is extremely difficult now. Before when you had level five, I used to hit level five. I used to hit level five with four players in my clan. But now we're on level four, but we're happy with level four. Sometimes we'll try and push to level five,

Rob Vardeman (26:50.602)
Yeah, level.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (27:03.383)
Yeah, well then we'll stick back to level four. So yeah, so we're happy with that

Rob Vardeman (27:07.278)
Well, I hope that this next month works out a little bit better for you. I tend to flex the requirements based on time of the year with the, you know, August, September being a time when more people are able to be out based on the environment. October fits into that as well. November, December, January, February, weather changes, lots of places that, you know, makes it a little more difficult.

Craig (27:09.831)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (27:16.588)
Yes.

Craig (27:24.335)
Mm-hmm. Yes. Mm-hmm.

Craig (27:33.479)
Yeah. And it changes lots of places. I mean, obviously changes in the US because it gets cold and snows in a lot of the places as well. And then it changes in Australia because it gets too hot to go outside, you know, at some times, you know, it's a, it's a, it's a mixed bag. It's a mixed bag. So yes, makes sense. Makes sense. All right.

Rob Vardeman (27:47.454)
Yep. Clans are like families in, you know, that everybody doesn't want to leave them most of the time. So they stick around regardless. So everybody just has to play their way and find a level and stick with it.

Craig (27:54.849)
This is true.

Craig (27:58.731)
This is true, this is true. So speaking of clans, Rob, do you have a Munzee Tip of the Week? How's that for a segue? Munzee Tip of the Week, tell us what the Tip of the Week is.

Rob Vardeman (28:02.914)
Mm-hmm.

Rob Vardeman (28:08.574)
It's time for the Munzee Tip of the Week. Take advantage of the social side of the game. I mean, you know, we just start with something that simple. Play your way and you'll find some people who also play your way. One of the ways to take advantage of the social side of the game is to join a clan. You know, hey, just do it. Just get out there and try it. There's lots of places where you can get into beginner clans. I will say Cuppa Z.

Craig (28:11.134)
Ha ha!

Craig (28:16.359)
Mm-hmm. They do. Yeah.

Craig (28:25.144)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (28:29.24)
There you go.

Craig (28:33.356)
Yep.

Mm-hmm.

Rob Vardeman (28:38.922)
The Kappa Clans, they actually train people up really well. So look for it. Yeah, look for it. They advertise themselves fairly well on the Muzzy Water Cooler. So that's another way. If you are a fan of Facebook and you like that platform, great, join us in some of the Facebook groups. There are quite a few. If you're not for Facebook, but you do like Discord, great. Discord is very different. We're on Discord.

Craig (28:42.916)
Oh, I didn't even know that. I didn't know that. Wow.

Mm-hmm. Right. Yep.

Craig (28:55.631)
Mm-hmm. Yep. Yeah, yeah.

Craig (29:04.236)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Rob Vardeman (29:07.17)
We're not always super active. There are players on there that are doing things all the time. Check it out. Mm-hmm, yes, munzee.com slash discord. And then we've also got Instagram and Twitter. You can get updates there. We don't usually interact just a whole lot on there, but we're there.

Craig (29:09.176)
Mm-hmm.

Normally the younger generational players are on their own. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Craig (29:24.527)
Yeah. Exactly. Well, that's it. Just quickly before we end the, uh, in this podcast, I did that, Rob. I, when I first joined up and I was going to, I'm thinking to myself, I need to join a clan. I need to join a clan. I reached out to a friend here in, uh, in the U S and, and he gave me a Facebook group who organized clans based on what you want to do. And they actually organize it on a spreadsheet. I'm like, wow, look at this, you know? And so I started out in a, you know, like a level one clan, which then developed into a level two clan the next month.

And then after that, I got the hang of what this clan was is actually all about. And that's when I started developing my own clan. So that's how I did it too. I got in via the Facebook pages. So didn't have a clue about anyone in my clan. I only knew them as a name. That's it. But you know.

Rob Vardeman (30:04.654)
Yeah, it's actually a really good way to do it. It's a good way to meet some people, not face to face necessarily, but a good way to meet people. It's a good way to get some rewards just for playing the game. And then you turn around and you use them. You help other people. You grow the game.

Craig (30:09.273)
Hmm.

Yeah, exactly.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (30:19.975)
Exactly right exactly and just a shout out as well to back to Minnesota because I know Minnesota boy He's in a clan up there. They hang out though because they hit their clan is all in the same area They when they get events they actually hang out in a clan and walk around the events in the clan How cool is that? That's

Rob Vardeman (30:37.314)
I think it's really cool. I've been to a lot of events where I've been added in as an honorary clan member and they get together, they take their clan picture and someone might hold a picture of, oh, we've also got someone in Germany and so they'll hold a picture of that person. It's actually a lot of fun.

Craig (30:40.27)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (30:43.535)
clan member. Yep.

Craig (30:54.372)
Exactly, exactly. So Rob, that ends now our third official Munzee podcast for the season. Yeah, we did. We did.

Rob Vardeman (30:59.53)
Woo, we've done it.

And thanks for joining us on this Munzee adventure.
