added. Although I'm wondering if I should just call the game now. :P effort put in my gagazet and cory has been magnificent, but it seems like this might just sit around unfinished for quite a while.

Your call. I could get a couple more if I wanted, but my sense of competition has diminished.

Yeah, I think this is pretty much the entire thing right here. *shrug*
Sign up activity was significantly greater than actual game activity turned out to be. I've already thought of some tweaks for the game that might improve that, but I doubt it'll be run again anytime soon.

and i thought this would encourage me to go out more often :P
Anyone tried geo-caching? I have few geo-cachers in my area. You can go alone or go with friends...but we can update each other how many "treasures" you find in your area.
Basically, an adult version of hide and seek, or Treasure Hunting with GPS...similar to scavenger hunt concept, but will hone your skills on latitude and longitude/Datum uses, I am NAD83... etc. I have to admit that I have advantage, i took some crash course in Physical Geography. But the game is not that complicated.
Anyone with a smartphone can go, load your coordinates and join.
Mages: I think it is a good idea. I have few guys in my team did it last term, but it will change the game as it is winter. But still same concept.
Unreliable: I believe you can use your tablet as well, as long as you can load the GPS coordinates. Some are mostly near cities, so it is not as bad as those inside barren forest.
Here in Ottawa, there were few spots near museum..it is interesting because as you get closer to the hiding spot, the accuracy of your GPS unit keep adjusting and you will second guess yourself if you are in the right spot or not.
Mages: How was your previous experience like? Did you ever second guess yourself, then move away from the hiding spot...only to realize 500 meters after that you were actually in the right spot and the "object" was in front of you?
Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location.
