Craig (00:01.822)
Welcome to the official Munzee podcast.
Rob Vardeman (00:04.362)
I'm Rob, also known as Coach V, your host and the president of Muncie.
Craig (00:08.462)
and I'm Craig also known as Seemyshell. I'm here to explore the world of Munzee from within.
Rob Vardeman (00:13.994)
Each week we'll delve into Munzee's mysteries, discover treasures, and inform players from around the world just what's coming your way.
Craig (00:21.054)
So sit back, relax as today we talk about the week that was as we always do a fully balanced meal of mech, some golden carrots, some golden bunnies, a very important question for Rob from a player and also the ending itself. Rob, I've got a Munzee tip of the week from a player again. How cool is that? Yes, because especially the ones that play often, then they give out the good tips. It's not just me and you, mate. It's not just me and you.
Rob Vardeman (00:38.974)
Hey, that's a great thing. I love to hear tips from players.
Rob Vardeman (00:50.518)
It's nice when players share with other players.
Craig (00:50.716)
Hahaha
Exactly right. What are you being up to this in the last, in the last week since I saw you last?
Rob Vardeman (00:58.69)
You know what? I did a few very important things. I deployed my golden carrot during the month of November. I know, right? We've talked about that several times about how I continue to forget. So one month in a row. I'm going to go ahead and try now that we're in December. I'm going to try for December, make it two months in a row. Goals. Right. And...
Craig (01:01.995)
Mm-hmm.
Craig (01:05.77)
Oh, you did good man. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Craig (01:15.83)
Hehehehehehe
Craig (01:21.694)
Wow, look at you. Look at you. Leading by example.
Rob Vardeman (01:26.558)
Right, exactly. And speaking of that, I also put together my Munzee Monthly Moments video, and this is the first month in a while that I've done that as well, so I'm going to go for my streak and see if I can get it two months in a row as well.
Craig (01:29.968)
Hmm?
Craig (01:34.388)
Yes!
Craig (01:38.421)
Mm-hmm.
Craig (01:43.082)
Look at that, look at that. Yes, the Munzee Monthly Moments. It's been a hit, so to speak. It's very different compared to the old style, but for this month anyway, just gone. But I think a lot of people have actually embraced it, Rob, as well. I've had a few people message me and reach out and say, things like, Craig, how do I screen record this? I don't have an editing software program like you do. And whatnot.
Rob Vardeman (01:50.466)
Yeah.
Craig (02:08.854)
So I've helped them along Rob. And you know what? They've done a great job. Those who have reached out to me, they've got an entry in the draw. How cool is that? So, mm. Mm-hmm.
Rob Vardeman (02:16.042)
Yeah, that was really great. It was great to see some new people jumping in. And it was great to see, I suppose, people learning new skills while doing it. So the nice part is, you've kind of changed it up for this month for December. So how have you been and how have things gone for you?
Craig (02:26.682)
Yes!
Craig (02:34.066)
Yes. For November, yeah.
Craig (02:39.966)
I'm good, man, I'm good. Yeah, this month for my monthly moments, we're gonna keep on that subject just for a second. I can actually officially say, because it is now Friday, December the 1st, it's gonna be released today on the Munzee YouTube channel. Guys, if you wanna get involved in this stuff, go to the Munzee official YouTube channel, make sure you subscribe and click the notification bell so you get notified every time a new video pops up in that channel itself. And this month, Rob, we're going back to the old style, back to what people are normally comfortable with.
Cause it's that time of the year Rob. So it's comfortability, if that's a word. But it's a Christmas time. And so it is capping a normal QR code anywhere near some Christmas decorations. And Rob, we want to see the big decorations, don't we? Like we were the bigger, the better. Let's be honest. Yeah.
Rob Vardeman (03:12.35)
Hmm
Rob Vardeman (03:25.958)
Yes, the bigger the better. That typically applies in America because there are so many places, houses and everyone really gets into it. And that I've noticed is not quite the tradition in other places around the world. They don't try and use an entire year's worth of electricity in one month.
Craig (03:32.486)
Yes. Yeah.
Craig (03:44.434)
Hahaha
Craig (03:49.894)
Exactly. And mind you in America here, that what I've seen, it's not just Christmas time, Rob. It's Halloween as well. Halloween is huge here too. So, but anyway, we're talking about Christmas. You know, here's a tip for you, Rob. If someone, just someone were to maybe get dressed up as Santa and Santa cap the QR code, for instance, in front of Christmas. Wow. Wouldn't that be a good video? Just say.
Rob Vardeman (03:56.634)
win. Mm-hmm.
Rob Vardeman (04:02.081)
If.
Rob Vardeman (04:11.638)
I mean, we're talking example and winner quality. Maybe even Mrs. Clause, you know, for the Mrs. That are out there. Yeah.
Craig (04:16.994)
There you go. See, see. Yeah, yeah, exactly right. Either either, or doesn't really matter. Exactly. Yeah. And speaking of YouTube videos and videos in general, Rob, tomorrow, December the second, on my personal channel, though this one is, is I'm releasing a eight.
Rob Vardeman (04:25.878)
Rudolph, I mean, there's a lot. The Grinch, there's a lot of opportunities. You're, hmm, yeah, good thinking.
Craig (04:44.858)
series Munzee tutorial for beginners, Rob, it is for beginners. So these people who are listening to this, this Munzee podcast probably won't get much, I dare say, out of the eight, eight part series. But for beginners, you can always push people to this beginner series and say, look, this is Munzee. This is what you do. It is, as I said before, you can't, it has to be beginners first, Rob, because this stuff is so deep. Munzee has got so many levels. It's ridiculous.
Rob Vardeman (05:08.043)
Yes.
Rob Vardeman (05:11.718)
I can imagine that it's going to take more than a series of eight to really dive into it. However, breaking the beginning of Munzee down into eight sections, you might even have had a difficult time trying to figure out what eight things to put together. But yeah, thanks for doing that. And yeah, everybody share that. Let's talk. Let's talk about how to how to do that and, you know, get more people in and this is a good tool. Yeah.
Craig (05:16.894)
Yes.
Craig (05:22.63)
Mmm. Yeah.
Craig (05:29.847)
Kind of did.
Craig (05:34.027)
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly. You know what, let's talk about that on next week's show, more about that on next week's show after you've watched all of the eight series too. And you can tell me how wrong I was in some of those, some of those videos, mate.
Rob Vardeman (05:49.41)
You know, it depends on where you read on what sort of rules you might find. And sometimes things get updated and they don't get refreshed on our tutorial or our help manual. Yeah.
Craig (05:54.053)
Mm-hmm.
Craig (06:02.022)
Exactly, exactly. Meanwhile, the last thing that I've got done for this week is the clan wars themselves. One of the tutorials is on clan wars, it's okay. I may or may not have got something wrong with it because of change, but anyway, my clan, my clan, my clan of seven, we finished in the top 100. How cool is that, mate? I know, we're in the top 100. Level five, we got to level five, we're a team of seven, level five. But, but I've got to say this, and a big shout out here.
Rob Vardeman (06:14.964)
Yeah.
Rob Vardeman (06:20.238)
What? That's actually... Wow.
Rob Vardeman (06:27.649)
Wow.
Craig (06:31.822)
I normally lead my team, Rob, because I'm in the US and they're in Australia, right? So I normally lead my team, but I've been in the shadow in the shadow of her name is purple cash eater. And she's leading the way in our team now. Why? Because like two weeks ago, Rob, we spoke about the tip of the week in regards to the Skylands and the tree houses. Remember that tip and building your nest. She did that, Rob. And look at her now. She's flying ahead over half a million points.
Rob Vardeman (06:41.282)
Well.
Rob Vardeman (06:50.263)
Yeah?
Craig (06:57.522)
in this clan wars by herself and she lives in a small country town. So yes, big shout out to her. Good job. Yeah.
Rob Vardeman (06:59.246)
well.
Wow. Well, that's amazing. Congrats. Well done to her. Well done to the whole clan. And yeah, that's good to see.
Craig (07:10.651)
Mm-hmm. Yeah, it really was. Anyway, Rob, that's enough from us and you and I. Let's get on to the week that was. We had some events in the USA. We had some events in Florida, Texas on Friday. There was no events on Saturday, if you remember. And on Sunday, we had Iowa, Florida, and Victoria, Australia as well. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Rob Vardeman (07:26.818)
Yep, that was the end of November. Things have settled in for the end of that week. And as usual, no events on the first and second of December. Instead, we jumped straight to Sunday. And we've got a lot of events coming up. There's two in Florida, one in California, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Missouri, Texas. In Canada, there are two in British Columbia, Ontario.
Craig (07:38.094)
Hmm.
Rob Vardeman (07:57.227)
In the world, we've got Denmark, Hungary, England, and ACT Australia. So that's what's coming up.
Craig (08:03.582)
Yes, yes. One of my favorite places, ACT Australia. Not favorite for any other reason apart from Geocaching and Munzee to be honest with you. But anyway, cause that's the, that's our White House lives in ACT. It's the Australian Capital Territory. That's what it stands for. So there you go. But the points Rob, over the weekend, right? Now, I'll say this, listen to this one name, this one name only, Weelan.
Rob Vardeman (08:10.658)
Yeah.
Rob Vardeman (08:14.602)
Uh...
Well, there you go.
Mm-hmm.
Craig (08:26.83)
his name is. He's now I've met him personally as well. If you meet him, you never forget who he is because he always wears his lives in Minnesota freezing cold and always wears a cut off sleeve shirt like one of those sleeveless shirts. Anyway, he does the monthly the Munzee videos as well on YouTube. He came second on Friday. So on Friday, we had nutty man who got 300,000 points, then wheeling got second and then Jaroslav Cass and HBRB.
Rob Vardeman (08:27.331)
All right.
Rob Vardeman (08:37.833)
Yeah.
Craig (08:55.574)
They all got over 200K as well. Saturday, what did he get Saturday?
Rob Vardeman (08:57.81)
Well, Saturday, Aaron Soog, 340,000. And like you said, Whelan comes in second. HBRB again on there. Skindo, Jaroslav Kaz, again on there. All of them over 200,000 points.
Craig (09:07.526)
Mm-hmm.
Craig (09:15.594)
And then comes Sunday, Sunday pops by and what happens? Whelan gets his first place. He's not always the bridesmaid, never the bride. He got first place after two days of being in second. He got 366,000 and then second place. And again, another name that's kind of, you know, been on our leaderboard a lot is HBRB with 266,000 points. Rob, this is a lot of points these guys get and girls.
Rob Vardeman (09:23.233)
Yeah
Rob Vardeman (09:36.586)
Yeah. You know, it's pretty amazing how many points are out there and people just go and grab them. There are don't forget, leaderboards, there's different ones. There's daily leaderboards, there are monthly leaderboards, and there's also a yearly leaderboard.
Craig (09:51.382)
Hmm.
Rob Vardeman (09:55.498)
So some of these people might be competing to move their way up the different monthly ones or the overall yearly. And then obviously there's the worldwide overall leader board. So you're seeing a lot of movement there these days.
Craig (09:56.11)
Mm-hmm.
Craig (10:08.05)
Yeah. You missed, you missed some leaderboards, Rob. There is the virtual leaderboard. There's the virtual capture leaderboard, the virtual placing leaderboard. There's the physical capture, the physical place, the overall physical. Sleep. No. I know, I know. Now I, that might.
Rob Vardeman (10:12.502)
What? Oh.
Rob Vardeman (10:21.662)
You sound like someone who's made tutorials about leaderboards possibly, and reminders for new players about things that I have completely forgotten. Love it.
Craig (10:37.198)
The what do you call it? The leaderboards aren't on the tutorial yet. They may might come in the intermediate ones They may come in the intermediate ones. I'd say also we've got to mention as well The first possible mega event for 2024 coming up January 11 to 14 5 events in Orlando, Florida So as I said in the last week's episode We have to mention this because we want to get people in big groups together and actually make it a mega event because there's Different mega rules now. So there you go. Make sure you get down to Orlando, Florida in January five events. That's cool
Rob Vardeman (10:40.206)
Well, yeah.
Rob Vardeman (11:05.638)
Yes, yep, it's gonna be good. And the sun shines down there. So if you're living in a place where the sun is not shining in early January and it is not warm, I'm not guaranteeing warm early January, but I've been to these events several times and a lot of people are wearing shorts.
Craig (11:19.983)
No.
Craig (11:26.382)
Yes, yes. And it's warmer down there than anywhere up north in the fear of the Northern Hemisphere, just saying. So yes, exactly right. What's coming up this week, Rob? What's happened this week? I saw the gardens of the month have been published as well. That's pretty cool. I love I love a garden, Rob. I do love a garden.
Rob Vardeman (11:30.496)
That is true.
Rob Vardeman (11:40.435)
Yep. You really do. You really do. And you build them, you put them out there, and if you build them, you know, people will deploy. So that's the nice part. It's just about sharing where those gardens are. And people love to deploy. Some people choose based on the design, which is what our Gardens of the Month are about. They are about the design. Both of the gardens that won were actually
Craig (11:44.074)
Hehehehehehe
Craig (11:50.392)
Yeah.
Craig (11:55.273)
Hmm.
Craig (12:00.658)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Rob Vardeman (12:07.022)
quite old. So we had a lot of players from quite a few years ago that were earning badges that they may not even be playing anymore, but badges popping in for them anyway. So yeah, we've got a couple of places that people can look for gardens if they want to deploy.
Craig (12:09.011)
Mmm, I saw that.
Craig (12:18.517)
No, no.
Craig (12:22.09)
Exactly.
Craig (12:25.642)
Hmm. Yes, yeah, exactly right. You can go on the Facebook page. There's two Facebook pages for Munzee Gardens and also on the Discord server as well. There's a Munzee Gardens on the Discord server. But what I love about the gardens that some people don't know about. And I'll be honest with you, I didn't know about this either until I got my first one. And that is if you place at least one Munzee in a Munzee garden and that Munzee garden wins garden of the month, you get a badge.
Rob Vardeman (12:53.214)
Yes, you do. It's a badge that is a picture of the design of the garden. And I mean, yeah, it's worth looking for them. And if you're looking for a daily deploy, it's not something that you want to put in your own area, then maybe start looking into gardens.
Craig (12:56.226)
Yeah.
Craig (12:59.7)
I know.
Hahaha
Craig (13:07.544)
Mm-hmm.
Craig (13:14.494)
Exactly. That's what got me in the gardens in the first place, because I like to deploy. And as I say in my tutorials, Rob as well, this game isn't just about capping physical munchies, this is a game of thinking person's game as well. You've got to think outside the box sometimes. And I think this is where the big players like Whelan and all them, they don't, you're going to run out of munchies. If you're all you're doing is walking around capping physical munchies, you're going to run out. Let's be honest, you know, there's only so many magnets you can go through on physical munchies and whatnot as well.
Rob Vardeman (13:37.751)
Yes.
Craig (13:42.666)
It's the deploying part, to deploy Munzees in high areas, to deploy Munzees in gardens, for instance, and stuff like that too. So yes, people get your Munzees into some gardens ASAP. That's all I'll say about that. Now we've also opened the old ZOPS. I've loved this. You opened all the old ZOPS again. Yes, I love ZOPS, I do.
Rob Vardeman (14:03.77)
We put them out as part of Cyber Monday, put all of the old Z-Ops back in, and you can purchase those through the in-app store. So they're not available online, just through the in-app store. So yeah, check those out. If you have already completed them, they will not show. So you, you know. Right, exactly. So.
Craig (14:08.238)
Mm-hmm.
Craig (14:14.123)
Mm-hmm.
Craig (14:22.094)
No, that's right, because you've completed them. It makes, somehow Rob, that makes sense. 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
Rob Vardeman (14:27.31)
Doesn't it? Who knows, maybe down the road, a legacy version of these things comes out, but for now, if you've completed them, they won't show. We've actually got quite a few people who are already completing the one that started November 15th, and that one includes a seven day streak. So we knew with that one, it was gonna take people at least seven days to complete it. And yeah, we are seeing people complete those and get the bouncer now.
Craig (14:35.232)
Mm.
Craig (14:43.103)
Yes.
Craig (14:47.796)
Yes.
Craig (14:52.638)
Mm-hmm.
Craig (14:56.954)
I've completed that one. Uh, yeah, a couple of few days ago. Now I completed that one with my seven day streak as well. And like, I'm not sure if I don't think it's just me to be honest with you, Rob. And that is when these come out, I want to finish it all in one day. I want to finish not the level one too, but I want to finish all level three. And one day I want to get, I want to get that hashtag number one, like mech. That's what I want.
Rob Vardeman (15:08.291)
Oh yeah.
Rob Vardeman (15:14.034)
Yeah, yeah, we have quite a few of those people and they like to post in the Monday water cooler. Here's here's what it takes to do all three or four or five levels and you know, oh, I finished and you know, sometimes it takes people an hour or two hours and we like to sit back on the gameplay side and slow people down sometimes.
Craig (15:22.211)
Yeah.
Yeah... yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Craig (15:38.59)
Well, I'll give you, I'll give you a tip. If you don't already know this, Rob from a player to a, to, you know, a game developer to slow people down. Don't put cap slash deploy. Just put cap to say that's slow. That slowed me down ridiculously because why, because you know what? I can just buy it and deploy the by deploy by deploy by deploy.
Rob Vardeman (15:45.731)
See ya.
Rob Vardeman (15:50.508)
Oh, do you?
Rob Vardeman (16:00.294)
Mm-hmm. I will say that yes, it will slow people down, except it speeds up their anger and lashing out at those of us in the gameplay designing sector. Yeah.
Craig (16:08.974)
Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe
Well, sometimes people who lash out are very hungry, Rob. And so therefore then this leads us to the new mech itself, the food primal, is it primal? I think that's the way it is, primal. P, ah, pyramid, oh, pyramid, I'll see. I never get this right.
Rob Vardeman (16:23.586)
So, pyramel, you know, like the food pyramid, that's what we call it, the food pyramid in the US, right? And I don't know that it's necessarily that all around the world, so.
Craig (16:34.099)
Yes.
Rob Vardeman (16:39.978)
In the US, we have the food pyramid and the food pyramid shows like here's all the different numbers of different types of food. Candy is actually not one of them, which I didn't realize because I eat plenty of that. Chocolate not in there. You know, there's sweet stuff in general. Sugar. Yeah. So it's that kind of thing. And so yeah, it's actually good that you ask like, how what do you what were you thinking? How is this pronounced all of that? Because
Craig (16:40.139)
Mm-hmm.
Here it is.
Craig (16:47.789)
Yeah.
Craig (16:53.186)
Mm hmm. Healthy stuff.
Craig (17:09.716)
Mmm.
Rob Vardeman (17:09.974)
It obviously doesn't translate to non-English speakers. So yeah, we basically should have a pronunciation, pronunciation guide with some of our.
Craig (17:13.634)
hear a meal. Yeah.
Craig (17:22.74)
That could be in an upcoming tutorial.
Rob Vardeman (17:25.318)
Yeah, here's how you say all of these things. And then you'd have people commenting saying, that's not how I say it. Yeah.
Craig (17:32.106)
That's right. Pyramidal that makes sense now. Maybe, maybe between the A and the M just do a little hyphen or something. Pyramidal. Yeah. Yes. So I got my Pyramidal wrong. So how do you get the Pyramidal? First of all, if people don't know this, because we read out the blogs to them. If you can't, if you don't know how to get the Pyramidal, if you've got all these mechs already, bread bot, banana bog, robo, Robocato.
Rob Vardeman (17:39.709)
Mmm.
this.
Rob Vardeman (17:47.098)
All right.
Rob Vardeman (17:54.905)
Ribucata, yeah.
Craig (17:56.266)
Milkman, Land Chop and Sugar Sensory. If you've got those already, you automatically get the food, Pryameal. Pryameal? Pyrameal, Pyrameal. I'm saying it wrong still. So you automatically get the food, Pyrameal. If you've got those. So Rob, you know what I had to do? Oh, I was missing two Rob. I was missing two. I was missing the bread and the banana. So I just went to the store, grabbed myself a loaf of bread and grabbed myself a banana and look at that. Bam, I got the food.
Rob Vardeman (18:05.506)
Pyramel. Ha ha ha.
Rob Vardeman (18:12.867)
Yeah.
Craig (18:25.926)
hear a meal.
Rob Vardeman (18:26.926)
Love it. Love it. So here's how this all came about. Actually is those six food Max as we labeled them internally, whether it was actually written or not out in the blogs, I don't know. But these were available in 2022 as the month's pack. So through the month's pack every other month, these were available. So that is how
Craig (18:31.96)
Hmm?
Craig (18:49.655)
Oh, that's right.
Rob Vardeman (18:55.35)
people got them. So what this was, is this was actually set up as a surprise gift, a bonus for any of the people who had participated in the MUNSPAC all of 2022. And then it is also an opportunity like this was the first time that we'd put these available for purchase separately.
Craig (19:06.423)
Mm-hmm.
Craig (19:16.434)
Yeah, that's really cool. That's really cool. So if you want to get yours, make sure you go to the, and you, you don't know how to get that's exactly how you get it. Bread bot, banana, bog, Rubicardo, milkman, land chop, and sugar century. Rob the mailbox or it's officially kicked off, but it officially kicks off today. Being December the first with the Peter cotton mail as well. How cool is this little fella? Yes.
Rob Vardeman (19:36.642)
Yeah, isn't he great isn't he great just a just a Such a fun little bunny. He's just gonna hop around the map. He's gonna be hopefully something that people are excited to see land near them and Part of that is because of one of the special landing pads that he is jumping to
Craig (19:43.988)
Yeah!
Craig (19:50.099)
Yeah.
Craig (19:56.038)
He gets to land on the golden carrots. I saw that. Yes, little Peter Cotton, gets to land on the golden carrots, have a meal. Now, Rob, I've got a few golden carrots around me, but they're all mine. Is this going to be the same as a normal bouncer? In other words, if a bouncer is one of my physicals, I can still cap him? Yes. Mm.
Rob Vardeman (20:11.882)
Yes, absolutely. Yeah, that's the best part. So for all the people who for more than a year have been deploying a golden carrot and not enjoying that because no one comes and caps their physical golden carrots. Yes. Now, you will get to cap your own golden carrots if you've built your own little golden carrot garden somewhere nearby. When Peter Cotton mill comes to visit, but not only Peter Cotton mill.
Craig (20:25.371)
Mm-hmm. That's awesome.
Craig (20:35.805)
Yeah.
That's really cool. Yeah.
Rob Vardeman (20:41.186)
Did you see what else happened? That's right.
Craig (20:41.95)
What? You talk about you talk about the golden bunny. The bunny. It is for the golden carrots. I like it.
Rob Vardeman (20:47.286)
The bunny, the bunny, yeah, it's a golden bunny, yes. And you know what? That's all, that's the only place. That's where it's landing.
Craig (20:55.31)
Mm-hmm. That's the only, he can only lean on golden carrots. Wow.
Rob Vardeman (20:59.798)
Mm hmm. He's he's a premium golden bunny. Now, he puts out a lot of points to the host. And there's not any way for any of the players to own them. You can't get one. I can't get one. They are deployed on a Munzee owned account. So these are
Craig (21:05.034)
Look at that.
Craig (21:08.816)
Mmm.
Craig (21:18.53)
No.
Craig (21:23.15)
Ooh, MOBs. Hehehehe.
Rob Vardeman (21:25.846)
But they're a special kind of MOB because they're not going away. Like, they're not going to be, oh, it's available only this month. Like, this is something that we've put 50 of them out on the map for now. And you'll notice the for now part. Because we want to see. So this is kind of like the nomads. The nomads, you know, there's a limited number of them. We're checking to see what does 50 feel like. And, uh...
Craig (21:29.73)
Hmm. Oh!
Craig (21:39.058)
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Craig (21:46.503)
Mm-hmm.
Rob Vardeman (21:52.762)
decided to do that instead of going with nomad numbers and putting 10 or 20 of them out there. So go with 50, they bounce around, see how many caps they have, maybe add more. It should be fun.
Craig (21:58.302)
Yeah. Yep. Yeah. Yep. I'm sure, I'm sure, Robert, if not already, by the time this comes out, that someone would have posted a photo of it on the Munzee water cooler, just saying. Ha ha ha.
Rob Vardeman (22:14.11)
Oh, oh, there's, there's going to be photos of it. There's going to be so many thank you messages, I'm sure. So I can't wait to read those. If by the time you're hearing this, you look at the Munzee water cooler, there are no thank you messages. I will say thank you to whoever writes the first one. Yes. So golden carrots, gonna get some love and the people who deployed them are going to get some good points from
Craig (22:21.358)
Mm-hmm. Yep.
Craig (22:32.842)
Hehehehehehehehe
Craig (22:37.408)
Mm-hmm.
Rob Vardeman (22:42.286)
capping those golden bunnies here.
Craig (22:44.195)
That's really cool. So the person who caps it gets some points and also the person who owns the landing post, landing pad gets a, that's a, I love that, I love that. All right, Rob, we're gonna move right along here now because we're chuggering in time. Munzee question of the week. Are you ready for it? You are? This is from iBike4M, his name is. And he says this, as we close out the year, Rob, the garden hedges leave the map.
Rob Vardeman (22:50.338)
The landing pad. Yeah.
Rob Vardeman (23:01.523)
I am. Yeah.
Craig (23:11.766)
what will be the new skin to earn slash deploy in 2024. Now I saw this question come up and I thought to myself, there's no way Rob can answer this yet, but you put it in, I put it in the question component, the question box and you put it up for today's episode.
Rob Vardeman (23:20.9)
Ha ha.
Rob Vardeman (23:27.21)
You know, I decided, okay, I'll answer the question in my way. So yes, there is a plan, as everyone knows, we've talked about that, it's December, so the end of the year is here. Thankfully, we know that, we've realized it, we're working. We're ending this year with the Penguin Hedge, and we're starting next year with...
Craig (23:31.554)
Hehehehe
Craig (23:36.567)
Mm-hmm.
Rob Vardeman (23:50.03)
something in a new line. So yeah, it's going to add gonna add a special shine to your garden. I can tell you that much. But we aren't quite ready to throw that first piece of art your way for you to see what it's going to be. But it's
Craig (23:53.779)
Yeah? Oh! Ha ha ha!
Craig (24:00.028)
Oh
Rob Vardeman (24:11.074)
going to be one of those things where you'll want to keep up your activity streak so that so that you can start accumulating this new piece which I in my head nearly said.
Craig (24:24.742)
And did you hear me? Did you see and hear me? I stopped talking totally. I stopped laughing and I literally watched you. And people, this is not a video podcast. This is an audio only podcast, but I will say this. Rob literally bit his tongue to the point now he's got some blood dripping down the side of his mouth. Like, you know, that's how hard he bit his tongue there when he said, we're beginning the year with, and then he literally stopped. And I thought you actually, the whole feed pause, but no, it was you. Well paused. Good job.
Rob Vardeman (24:39.3)
Yep.
Rob Vardeman (24:49.15)
Yeah, well, you know, there are some things that we're not quite ready to say yet.
Craig (24:55.202)
Exactly. So if you want your question for Rob, please submit your question for Rob itself in a via personal message to me, either on Facebook, Instagram or on Discord as well. Now these questions I've had have been on Discord Rob. I've really enjoyed Discord. Yeah, Discord server. The Monday. It's a good server. It's a good so people say, I don't know how to use Discord. Rob, I'll be honest with you. I never joined Discord until you put it up there.
Rob Vardeman (25:07.257)
Hmm.
Rob Vardeman (25:19.147)
Yeah.
Craig (25:19.382)
Like I've literally got Munzee discord, that's it. I don't have any other groups on this call, just Munzee. So yeah, I actually quite like it.
Rob Vardeman (25:22.91)
Yeah, it's a quick interactive form. It really is. Yeah.
Craig (25:29.514)
Hmm. Yeah, exactly. Now the Munzee Tip of the Week, Rob, this comes from a player, a player who I know quite well, he's a good mate of mine, Minnesota Boy. He's also got some Munzee videos on YouTube as well, under Minnesota Boy, he's his YouTube channel. Now, this question, this question, this Tip of the Week is actually a really good tip. You read it, Rob. It is, the Tip of the Week is, take full advantage of the presets to filter your map. It makes targeting certain Munzees so much easier, especially at events.
Some of my presets include virtual only, physical only, event only, flats only, and I can't never say this word, cruises, cruises only, and I say sleazies, cruises only and cards. And on the double points weekend, you can create a preset that includes only those that actually are double points. That's a really good tip.
Rob Vardeman (26:05.37)
Crew, cruisies.
Rob Vardeman (26:09.582)
Yeah.
Rob Vardeman (26:19.294)
Minnesota boy, such a great guy to share all of this stuff. I've met him, hung out with him too. Great guy. Thanks for sharing that tip with everyone.
Craig (26:21.266)
Yeah. Mm hmm. Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, it's really, really cool. Now, if you can't, if you still don't understand this because it's audio only podcast and you wanna see things physically, then Carson, our mate Carson, Buckeye Kasha, he has a tutorial on how to set up your filters. That was one of his latest videos. The guy now, Rob, the guy now is in full blown college mode. Like I see some of the photos he posts on different social media. I'm telling you now, this guy is a...
Rob Vardeman (26:52.866)
Mm-hmm.
Craig (26:58.218)
like a genius rain man, genius with all the writing on the walls and different like asterisks suits and whatever else as well. He's like, yeah, he's got a lot going on.
Rob Vardeman (27:01.53)
He Yeah, he's got a lot going on. He's really, he's really taking to the that environment. Well, so that's good. I've got a follow up. I got a follow up tip to everyone as we go to end this.
Craig (27:14.514)
He is. He is really, really cool. Yeah. Oh, hang on. Hang on. Bonus tip from Rob. But that's going to be like a little intro thing anyway. Yeah. Bonus tip from Rob Go.
Rob Vardeman (27:25.442)
It's right. It's actually one of the things that everyone should already know, but just in case. So the mailbox, don't forget about the mailbox. You need to cap it every single day. And that's so that you can get the rewards. You also need to just edit the location.
Craig (27:40.13)
Mm-hmm.
Rob Vardeman (27:46.946)
Do not undeploy it if you want to move it. So we've, we've talked about that, but it never hurts to say it again. And for those of you who do not have a mailbox, get it, get it before it leaves the store, because, um, that's where the double point weekends for the month of December are happening. So.
Craig (27:48.146)
Mm-hmm. Do not underplay. Yeah, we did.
Craig (28:05.614)
That's right. Yes, yes, yes. So if you want the double points in December, you have to be a mailbox owner as well. People have said, I've seen this as well on the water cooler and I'm here as the people's voice, so to speak. I'm not part of Munzee, I'm the people's voice. And people have said, I did notice on the water cooler, they've said, this is not fair for us, you know, the players who don't pay for the mailbox. Why can't we have double point weekends? And I say this because I'm...
Rob Vardeman (28:20.246)
Yep.
Craig (28:35.278)
I paid for my mailbox, right? I paid for my mailbox and that is a perk of that mailbox. Like the Peter Cotton mail. Those of you who don't pay for a mailbox don't get a Peter Cotton mail. You can cap them, but you can't get him, you know, and get the cap points from him, et cetera. So same sort of thing here, people. And that is that, tell me if I'm wrong, Rob, is that the sort of the avenue you guys are going down there by, you know, this is a perk of the mailbox.
Rob Vardeman (28:59.278)
In previous years, we've had people saying, you know, why aren't these things only available to blah, whatever. So there's never a right way. There's never one way to make everyone happy. We know that from all the years. So same rule applies to premium. If we have something that's premium only, that's because the premium members are investing.
Craig (29:05.806)
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 ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Craig (29:17.399)
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Rob Vardeman (29:24.942)
in the future of Munzee that $30 that monthly subscription whatever it is so we appreciate those people who help us along and sometimes we show that love back to only those people so get that mailbox.
Craig (29:25.678)
Mm-hmm.
Craig (29:31.868)
Exactly.
Mm-hmm.
Craig (29:43.922)
It's always going to be the way, Rob. You, you, we, we now have the golden bunny for instance. And there's going to be someone, someone out there, Rob, who's going to message the Munzee or you and say, golden. I prefer silver. Exactly. So Rob, this ends another official Munzee podcast.
Rob Vardeman (29:57.003)
Yep, I wanted red, not green. You guessed it. It's okay. We understand. We really do.
Rob Vardeman (30:08.238)
Thanks for joining us on this Munzee adventure.
Craig (30:11.45)
And don't forget to subscribe, rate and review on your favorite podcasting app and join us next week for another exciting episode.
Rob Vardeman (30:17.638)
And remember, Munzee is more than a game, it's a worldwide community of mobile game players.
Craig (30:24.022)
So keep scanning, keep discovering, and keep the Munzee spirit alive. One, two, three, Rob Munzee on. That's kind of right.
Rob Vardeman (30:28.163)
Manzian! Oh, I felt it.
