Seemyshell (00:02.207)
Welcome to the official Munzee Podcast.
Rob (00:04.763)
I'm Rob, also known as Coach V, your host and the president of Munzee.
Seemyshell (00:08.75)
And I'm Craig, also known as Seemyshell, I'm an avid Munzee player and here to explore the game further.
Rob (00:14.311)
Each week we'll delve into Munzee's mysteries, divulge some secrets, and inform players from around the world just what is coming your way.
Seemyshell (00:21.294)
So sit back, relax as today's episode, I'm gonna grill, grill the man himself, Rob Vardeman. At the same time, we'll talk about the year of the dragon. And of course, question of the week, question for Rob and a tip of the week. Rob, I can't even talk. How you been, mate? I know, it's rare. Good, good. Same time zone. We're in the same time zone now.
Rob (00:39.991)
Tongue-tied see my show. What's up? How you doing, man? How you doing?
Rob (00:49.563)
It feels weird, but you know, this is a good thing. I'm a little jet lagged over here in Florida, and yeah, just needed to soak up a bit of sunshine.
Seemyshell (00:57.623)
Mm-hmm.
Seemyshell (01:02.67)
Yeah, yeah, very enough for an- and the Lou, Lady Lou with you as well, I do say? Very good, very good.
Rob (01:07.211)
She is indeed. Yeah, she is indeed. We've, we've taken a break from England for a touch. And yeah, it turns out that we've left at just the right time. Snow is blowing in to most of the UK, it said. And well, it doesn't snow very much in Florida. So we've chosen well.
Seemyshell (01:14.781)
Mm-hmm.
Seemyshell (01:20.886)
Oh.
Seemyshell (01:25.279)
Oh.
Seemyshell (01:29.318)
No, you have, you have. Well, we'll get to the events because there's a few big events coming up in England as well, in the next, this weekend. But we'll get to that very shortly, mate. Munzeewise, what have you been doing Munzeewise? Munzeewise.
Rob (01:35.424)
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Rob (01:44.387)
Oh man, outside of the work stuff, here's what happened to me for ending January. And I should be embarrassed about this, but these days, whatever. I forgot to deploy my golden carrot in January. Again, this is not the first month this has happened to me. It's bad.
Seemyshell (01:49.207)
Yeah.
Mm.
Hehe
Seemyshell (02:02.155)
A-Again!
No. What, what, what didn't you say last time? You said to yourself, I'm going to actually make a note of it and put like an alert on my phone to do it. And what you ignored the alert or just didn't put the alert.
Rob (02:17.672)
Oh yeah, I said that. Yeah, definitely.
Oh, no, I just didn't do it. Yeah, I'm just, I don't have an alert. I have alerts for all kinds of things, but I don't have an alert to deploy golden carrot. Do you know that I probably have like 10 golden carrots too? So there's no excuse. It's not like I haven't redeemed it. It's not, I've got it. Yeah.
Seemyshell (02:33.354)
Well, no. Yeah, yeah. And you're just hoarding the carrots, mate. You're hoarding them. That's what you're doing. You're hoarding them, my dear, say.
Rob (02:40.567)
Mm-hmm. The golden bunnies want the golden carrots and I won't put them out there. It's messed up. So I Stayed at level two instead of going all the way to level five Yeah, the rewards I left on the table man. What am I gonna do?
Seemyshell (02:45.507)
Wow, wow, poor bunnies mate, poor bunnies. So, no, Rob. Exactly, exactly. I mean, you're gonna have to purchase them instead. So just saying.
Rob (03:00.574)
It's a rough one. It's a rough one. Special discount.
Seemyshell (03:04.206)
Mate, mate, I'm still on the road. If you can't hear it, I'm actually still on the road. Hopefully you can't hear the difference because I've made myself up a little podcast den in my car. So still on the road. Yeah.
Rob (03:07.944)
Yeah?
Rob (03:13.763)
Nice. Well, this week, this week I'm on, I'm on, you know, not a good mic. So you'll have better sound quality. I hope than I do anyway. But yeah.
Seemyshell (03:19.634)
Yeah. Oh, he's, he is hoping, he's hoping I'm more professional. Just saying. Correct.
Rob (03:24.023)
That's right. That's right. You're so you're road tripping and you have all your stuff with you and I'm out and I forgot one of my things but I'll get a replacement. Yeah, so how's that going for you on the road capping? I mean, obviously you see a ton of bunzies. How many of them do you stop for and how's it going?
Seemyshell (03:32.15)
That's all right. That's all right, man, that's all right.
Seemyshell (03:37.736)
the homemade.
Seemyshell (03:43.538)
Well, I stopped for quite a few and every time I do stop, I make sure I put on, have a look at all, all available. And I'm telling you now, on a road trip, you go through areas, Rob, they're unloved. You know, there's cruisies and sleepies galore to the point where now I've got almost 150 for this month alone already. And it's, what is it, day four, day five? I've got 150 cruisies. And so yeah, mostly in parking lots.
Rob (03:56.757)
Yes.
Rob (04:00.139)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (04:13.51)
You know, but the weekend, Rob, the weekend I spend at a business park, like an actual business location, industrial area, in their big parking lot, I got 97 prize wheels, physical prize wheels. I opened five crates, Rob, in the last, you know, this month so far, five crates as well. So, mate, I'm steaming ahead with that sort of stuff, so. Ha ha ha. Exactly.
Rob (04:25.975)
Wow.
Rob (04:29.111)
Wow.
Rob (04:35.431)
You are. That is pretty impressive for sure. Pretty impressive. Wow.
Seemyshell (04:40.87)
All right, mate, let's get on to the week that was events we had in USA, we had them in Florida, Ohio, and Arizona, and one over in UK. And what about the leaderboards, mate?
Rob (04:50.351)
Yeah. Leaderboards on Friday, we had Big Bill 54 with 205,000. Munsey Prof, 164,000. And then HBRB, 152,000. There he is. Yep.
Seemyshell (04:56.215)
Oh.
Mm-hmm.
Seemyshell (05:04.47)
Munzee Prof again, Bridesmaid, just saying, he loves it. On Saturday, we had Funbro, a very fun bro, by the way. I did meet him down in Florida. He's a great guy, so much fun. 447,000 points, Colecracker7 on 446,000 points, and Munzee Prof again, in third this time, on 440,000 points. And obviously you can see double point weekend.
Rob (05:17.88)
Yeah.
Rob (05:33.171)
Yeah, I'm wondering if that was Fun Bro's first time getting first place.
Seemyshell (05:37.518)
Could be, you know, could be.
Rob (05:39.379)
Yeah, we hung out with all three of those people in Florida, which was cool. And then on Sunday, Finn's 2LR was first place with 456,000. They also are from Florida. We hung out with them at that event as well. Oddminer at 409,000 and Happy Girlie, 405,000. They're both based over in the UK. I know them. They are great people as well. And those two very active in Munzee Water Cooler.
Seemyshell (05:41.523)
Yes, yes.
Seemyshell (05:54.205)
Mm-hmm.
Seemyshell (06:05.09)
Very good.
Rob (06:09.493)
on our Discord. Very active there.
Seemyshell (06:10.694)
Yep, yep, yep. Meanwhile, Rob, this weekend we've got 15 current events coming up in the US. We have California, Florida, Missouri, Iowa, and Minnesota. In Canada, Rob, we have.
Rob (06:21.383)
Ontario, then in the world, we've got UK which has 37 attendees. So everybody pay attention to that get your cards in if you haven't. Lithuania, Finland, Hungary, and then another big one in the Netherlands, we've got 41 attendees again, card alert card alert to two events in Denmark. And then in Australia, we've got
Seemyshell (06:38.505)
I'm going to go to bed.
Seemyshell (06:46.222)
Yes, I did see those two largest events coming up and Rob I tried to deploy some, you know me, I love deploying my cards. Minimum for me, two cards at every single event. If you go to an event somewhere in the world, look for my cards, there's a minimum two there. But it's so hard at those big events to actually deploy any sort of cards anywhere near the event now. People just do it on the roadways to and from, so. Ha ha ha.
Meanwhile, Rob, Double Points weekend again this weekend as well. For this weekend we have cards, temps, flats, greenies, and virtual colors. So that's pretty cool. And we have some large events coming up.
Rob (07:21.183)
Yep. Get out there. Yeah. Large events are coming up in California, March 8th and 9th. They've got about 36 attendees now. So looking toward that goal of mega and I've got some breaking news right now to share with you. Are you ready? Breaking news. Lou and I will both be there. What?
Seemyshell (07:36.452)
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah. I'm ready. Yeah.
Seemyshell (07:44.626)
Wow.
Rob (07:46.227)
Munzee Madness. Now you've already announced that you're going to be there. So, you know, I mean, that was super good news. That was great news. Me and they were going to be there. We want to hang out with you. Mari, Tamara and Craig of our freeze tag team. They're also going to be there. So already we're up to over 40 for that event. So everybody pay attention.
Seemyshell (07:49.094)
Yes, I'll be there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, this is better.
Seemyshell (07:58.523)
Oh!
Seemyshell (08:04.97)
Wow, that's... yeah, that's really cool.
Rob (08:07.523)
I know there's a couple more people that we're hoping to meet Lou and they're going to be flying across as well. Not from the UK, they're in the US. But heads up, Lou's going to be there. So get your flights in.
Seemyshell (08:11.928)
Mm-hmm.
Seemyshell (08:19.186)
Yes. And if those of you who don't know and have never actually met Rob, Lou, or any of the team in person, if you meet them in person, you can actually cap their personal badge and you get an actual badge saying you've met them, which is really cool. So you can get meet Lou, you can get meet Rob, you can get meet Mari and Tamara, and meet Craig too. So not me, Craig, the higher up Craig, the CEO Craig, the big boss Craig. Yeah, yeah.
Rob (08:43.079)
Yeah, that's right. That's right. Lots of badges available. And then we have our travel badges that we usually do. So you could probably guess we'll have those again as well. Yep.
Seemyshell (08:50.986)
Yes.
That's really cool. We also have a large event coming up in, I got a message about this from online in England, Dart's Farm in England on March 9. There's 24 there so far as well. And a special shout out to them. They want me to sort of say, look, you know, we're hoping to go big. So they message. So there we go. We also have ACT in Australia in March 30. Now it doesn't look big at the moment, Rob, because there's only 15 so far on the, you know, with the Willa 10s, but, but.
Rob (09:13.279)
Yeah, that's right.
Seemyshell (09:23.154)
I know so many more co-exist players that are going to this mega event that haven't put their Willitens in yet. So pull your fingers out, Osies. Come on and put in your Willitens and make sure that this here shows that it's actually a large event and make it the first mega event in the Southern Hemisphere before anyone else does. So, and then Rob, we have Nottingham in England as well on April 6th with 33 so far. Yeah.
Rob (09:31.243)
Hehehehehehe
Rob (09:40.319)
That's right. Yeah, 33.
Yeah, 33 showing up to that one. Then jumping back across Minneapolis, we've got Munzee Mania May 10th to 12th. And here's a little bit more breaking news. I am able to say that I'm going to be there for that one, Munzee Mania, this year. Yeah, so me and you, both going to be there hanging out. Chances are pretty high that Josh, the geocaching vlogger, will be there too, since that is his backyard. Yeah.
Seemyshell (09:57.376)
More.
Seemyshell (10:01.13)
Wow! That's cool. Yes!
Seemyshell (10:09.514)
Well, you'd hope so. It's his backyard. If he's not there, then what's he doing? Mind you, he probably is away from work as a possibility. So, Rob, I've got another message as well in regards to in Salamanca, New York state, and May 18th is a possible large event happening there as well. So that's coming up too. So keep an eye out for that one. If you're in Salamanca, New York state on May 18th. And what else is there Rob?
Rob (10:18.039)
Mm-hmm, that is possible.
Rob (10:34.579)
They're...
Well, there's a gap at the end of May there's something on a coexist calendar that happens at the end of May and There's there's a hole on the Munzee calendar however had some contact from one of our players and we think that an event is coming soon there and Yeah, we're both going to be attending that one Hopefully there does a Munzee event appear in our
Seemyshell (10:38.829)
Mm.
Seemyshell (10:53.736)
Oh.
Seemyshell (10:58.839)
Mm-hmm.
Rob (11:05.813)
world. So yeah, be watching for that, late May.
Seemyshell (11:07.511)
That would be cool. Exactly. And don't forget as well, guys, if you're a host of a growing event and we haven't noticed yet, please reach out to me as a couple of people have this week. So that's really cool. Meanwhile, Rob, now we're gonna get down to the nuts and bolts of this whole thing. As people know, I know, yeah, cause you know what's coming. You know what's coming, mate.
Rob (11:22.591)
Do we have to? We could just keep talking about anything else if you want.
Seemyshell (11:29.818)
As everyone knows, I'm a player first and foremost, Rob, I don't work for Munzee at all. I'm here as the voice of the people. I sound like a politician.
Rob (11:30.083)
Maybe.
Rob (11:37.42)
You do say that a lot and I will say that reading through the notes before starting this I was like, well, if you want to prove that you're not directly planted with me, here's the way. Ready, go.
Seemyshell (11:48.553)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (11:52.298)
Nope, nope. Here it is, see? See, people already, he's trying to deflect. See, already he's banking, he wants to deflect. Anyway, I'm gonna get to the nitty gritty, Rob. Literally the nitty gritty, and that is the sand dollars. So many people have been asking about capping greenies and how many they have to cap. They're not getting as many as what they used to, Rob. I mean, I'm gonna shout out as well, Mark Barlow on the water cooler, he got two from 98 greenie caps.
Rob (12:01.588)
I am a president. Yeah. Ooh.
Seemyshell (12:20.726)
Barry Ray got one from 50 greenies. And so Rob, what's going on with these sand dollars, mate? They're drying up.
Rob (12:32.183)
Well, the trick even knowing that this question was coming. Still, my brain just goes, shut down, shut down. And I stumbled through my words. So waves, here's what I here's what I am thinking. All right.
Seemyshell (12:40.393)
Mm-hmm.
me.
Seemyshell (12:47.011)
Mm-hmm.
Rob (12:52.775)
And I'm going to attempt to not come up with too many excuses. And I'm going to attempt to not deflect everything away from this, which is style of mine. So the waves of prizes, waves of redeemed store waves of sand dollars, both coming in and going out. We just put, you know, surprises in the store last week. We've got more surprises coming soon.
the flow of sand dollars has definitely there is an ebb and a flow to it that the yes I
I touched some of the dials that we have. Sometimes I know this is going to be shocking to you, but it's not everyone else's fault. But sometimes and I'm not saying that the two people who have commented here or anything else, sometimes the people who comment on Facebook may stretch their little bits of truth just a tiny bit, just a little bit. So I'm not saying that, you know, they only got two out of 98 caps because
Seemyshell (13:37.53)
Oh.
Seemyshell (13:41.121)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (13:54.798)
Truth?
Rob (14:03.267)
There's sort of a percentage model that the backend uses. And sometimes when I look at things, I go, man, that doesn't fit with what we have on the backend. Like, let's say it's supposed to be 10% on something. And someone says 2 out of 98, then that's 2%. That doesn't match up very well. Where normally, probability is going to work out to be
Seemyshell (14:18.518)
Mm-hmm.
Seemyshell (14:25.43)
Yeah. No.
Rob (14:30.303)
to match the percents pretty closely. So this is something that we have had a conversation about because enough of us are in the Munzee water cooler that obviously when somebody likes me like me starts turning the dials and switching things up a little bit and changing some cap on deals and when I start playing my games and then maybe people whose name sounds a lot like Mari wakes up in California and she reads
Seemyshell (14:32.567)
Mm-hmm.
Seemyshell (14:39.758)
Mm-hmm.
Seemyshell (14:45.602)
Hehe
Seemyshell (14:52.233)
Yep.
Seemyshell (14:58.35)
Eh... ..
Rob (15:00.576)
Things and then maybe I get in trouble for stuff, but I'm not actually getting in trouble for it, but
There are definitely questions being asked in the water cooler that are being asked within the team that I am answering within the team that we will also see by the time this podcast actually comes out. Some changes. Hopefully people will be able to feel the changes and feel a bit of sand dollar flowing back to them. So.
Seemyshell (15:28.967)
Yes.
Rob (15:31.827)
I'll tell you from me, some of the reasoning for why is because at the end of previous limited time credit LTC events that we've had, what I don't enjoy is the people going, well, I have $372,000 credits left over and what am I supposed to do with a with forgetting about the fact of, you know, kind of how they may have been earned?
Seemyshell (15:43.726)
Mm-hmm.
Seemyshell (15:53.875)
Okay.
Rob (16:02.441)
the first week of the store, I believe it was $36 worth of items that could be redeemed. And, and even though yes, it may cost you gas to go and cap these things and get all the sand dollar credits. A lot of people were getting the sand dollar credits from getting their tree house and their skyland, which you don't even have to go very far for that. So I will say that comment from
Seemyshell (16:10.124)
Mm-hmm.
Seemyshell (16:21.835)
Yes, this is true.
Rob (16:27.991)
several people was the initial turning of the dial. So yes, we are active, aren't we, in the water cooler. And we do watch, right, we do watch and we don't mean to sound like Big Brother. However, here I am. And I'm watching. I'm always watching. So, so I do see what has happened. I have seen support tickets.
Seemyshell (16:29.122)
Mm-hmm.
Seemyshell (16:33.234)
Ah, see. Yes, yes you are. Even, even on the back end. Yep.
Seemyshell (16:49.739)
There you go.
Seemyshell (16:56.386)
Mm-hmm.
Rob (16:57.015)
am I am based a lot on feel so I hope that players will also feel some changes as they come back in. So that was a lot of talking without stopping and giving you a chance. Hopefully that gives you the answers that you can also relay back to players. Yeah.
Seemyshell (17:08.054)
Very good. Very good.
Seemyshell (17:13.306)
No, no, that's all right. That's all right. That's, that's right. That gives everyone the answers in which they need. I will say this though, by the sounds of things, guys, if you want to meet Mari, get to the California event because she sounds like a wonderful person if she keeps Rob on his toes. So come to California, meet Mari, and thank her in person, give her a handshake, high five, fist pump, whatever you like to do, and thank her in person to keep Rob on his toes. So there you go.
Rob (17:31.007)
Yeah.
Thank her in person, right?
Rob (17:42.763)
That's right. That's right.
Seemyshell (17:43.942)
Another reason to get to this event, Rob, see? I will say on a positive note, coming out of this with a positive note, and that is you do listen to people in the water cooler, et cetera, as well, and just over a week ago, whatever, when the first wave came through, people were going, oh, when's it gonna end? I don't know, it's gonna just end abruptly. And so what you guys did, did you like that sort of mimicking? Yeah. What you guys did. Exactly, exactly.
Rob (17:46.099)
Yeah, no, it's great.
Rob (17:51.935)
Mm-hmm.
Rob (18:08.231)
Oh my, yeah, that's how it sounds in my head when I read some of those things. I'm sorry everyone.
Seemyshell (18:13.802)
but you actually put in the countdown timer on it, which makes a lot of sense and puts a lot of people at ease knowing then they've got nine days or if they want a starfish, they've got 32 days or something like, you know, to actually get the starfish. So it puts people's minds at ease, Rob. So thank you for that or thank Mari for that, whoever's idea was that was.
Rob (18:32.427)
You you you're saying the correct name. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Mari for that. Yeah, she's uh, she is I don't I don't know that she's possibly ever even commented in there. But uh, but that's because um, yeah.
Seemyshell (18:35.939)
Hahahaha
Seemyshell (18:46.217)
Oh, no.
Rob (18:51.347)
I talk in there and she sweeps up on the business side. Yeah, so it's all good. But yes, we're looking at it, we're working on it. Yeah, thanks to everyone. Thanks for the questions and just having the conversation, which maybe we can change speed now and answer other questions that people have been talking about. Yeah, yeah.
Seemyshell (18:52.643)
Mm-hmm.
Seemyshell (18:56.386)
Hahaha.
Seemyshell (19:04.899)
Mm-hmm.
Seemyshell (19:13.586)
Oh, we will we will we will I mean I will say this is what I even got called out and actually tagged in the water Cooler saying ask Craig. He's in the podcast to ask Rob. So there you go So yes, I even get called out now as well Rob. So that's fine. All right, let's change it up Let's change it. What what else have you got something a bit more sweet on the palate Rob? What if you
Rob (19:24.875)
Yeah, absolutely.
Rob (19:33.503)
You know, I think that's a great idea. Let's talk about cake, shall we? Ooh. So earlier this week.
Seemyshell (19:35.543)
Mm-hmm. Oh, cake.
Seemyshell (19:41.378)
Mm-hmm.
Rob (19:42.319)
as far as when the podcast goes live, we put some details out. Now, I'm going to talk to you about the details without you having seen them and get some of your reaction to it. And then we'll and then everyone else will have already been able because they read the blog, obviously, they will know some of these things. But here we go. So so we put the cake out the details have are there the we've got a new section in the redeem store.
Seemyshell (19:51.297)
Mm-hmm.
Rob (20:12.091)
the one thing that I really want to talk about is the temporary bouncers because we have put out a base bouncer That is a balloon. So there are gonna be some balloon animals like last year's, you know host and Yeah attendee the balloon or the balloonicorn So we've put out a base like a tier one balloon. That is just a balloon
Seemyshell (20:25.282)
Mm-hmm.
Bludle. Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Seemyshell (20:36.623)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Rob (20:38.655)
And then there's a couple of others that are skin types that are worth more points. Okay, so when you go to events, you have the ability to get quite a bit of cake. And so we're putting these things out, we're giving people an option on what levels of balloons they want to have. So if you put out like a tier one balloon, okay.
Seemyshell (20:54.059)
Mm-hmm.
Seemyshell (21:00.63)
Mm-hmm.
Rob (21:05.255)
You're looking at these will go out and they'll kind of work a little they'll basically work like mechs where when you deploy it, then it archives after a certain number of caps. Alright, so 10 caps for the tier one balloons, 20 caps for the tier two balloons, but this tier three balloon having gone to multiple events and really starting to stack up some cake which you're going to have enough cake for this okay.
Seemyshell (21:11.532)
Mm-hmm.
Seemyshell (21:27.322)
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Rob (21:34.911)
All right. Yeah. And then if you do the math on these things for a tier three balloon, which again, you're going to have to go to a couple of events or host a couple of events, that kind of stuff. Fifteen thousand points from that balloon across the lifespan of that balloon.
Seemyshell (21:35.15)
50? Wow.
Seemyshell (21:40.512)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (21:45.022)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (21:53.566)
Wow. That's... That... Ha ha ha. And, and for going to events, and then you have to get on the website to redeem. Yeah, you gotta redeem. You gotta do a bit of work.
Rob (21:55.757)
for going to events.
Right?
Rob (22:03.263)
I mean, you got to routine. You've got to do a little bit of work. Yeah. So, so stay tuned. Obviously there's more stuff coming. Those are the balloons. That's really what I wanted to talk about, kind of focus on. But yeah, there's more coming, so stick around and yeah. Stay tuned, be ready. We're having fun.
Seemyshell (22:10.572)
Yeah.
Yep.
Seemyshell (22:19.474)
There you go, some decent points. So again guys, again, get to events. If you haven't got any more reason to get to an event apart from seeing Mari for instance, or you got cake now as well, don't worry about Rob, or even Lou, Mari and cake, that's all you need. So there you go. Ha ha ha. Exactly, exactly. So Rob, the new greenies we spoke about last week, there's been a bit of chat I've heard as well, bit of chat on the whole greenie thing.
Rob (22:35.596)
It's true. Good call.
Rob (22:42.695)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Seemyshell (22:47.894)
There's some positive, mostly positive and some negative aspects to it. What I've heard going around, number one is, and this happened to me the other day as well, if I'm walking through a parking lot and their Cruisies, because they've been asleep for so long, I'll cap, if it's a Greenie, the Cruisy just goes away and then the Greenies gone as well. Whereas if it's a Mystery or any other type, I'll cap the Cruisy and then the Mystery or the other type will come back and I'll cap it again for extra points.
Rob (22:52.211)
Yes?
Mm-hmm.
Rob (23:06.355)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Seemyshell (23:17.106)
Any reason why we can't cap the greenie again like normally we used to?
Rob (23:22.427)
I believe in don't hold me completely to this right at this moment, but I believe that this is actually in progress of being fixed. So that will work as it should. It's it's in discussion. The part of the question is, is it possible?
Seemyshell (23:26.326)
Heh. Yeah.
Seemyshell (23:34.392)
Oh, there we go. There we go.
Fair enough.
Seemyshell (23:42.272)
Mm-hmm.
Rob (23:48.807)
And that's what we're unsure of because the thing is, if you cap it on like the fifth, then obviously it's not going to be a cruisy on the sixth. So you wouldn't even know. So really, it is your daily capture and you're getting 100 points for that instead of the greenie points. So in one way it works in another way. So yeah.
Seemyshell (23:57.807)
No, that's right. That's right. Yeah.
Seemyshell (24:06.098)
Yeah. Run.
Seemyshell (24:12.823)
Yeah, it's just, it's like I have to stand around the pole when it flicks through to see if it's a green or not. Cause you don't know what it is basically until if it's a cruiser, so there you go. But predominantly, I was gonna say predominantly though, I've heard nothing but good news. And I know Minnesota Boy, for instance, he put out a video, it's only a short video, like an actual shorts, but he put out a video of him going around his local park.
Rob (24:21.575)
Yeah. Yep. So stay tuned. Sorry.
Seemyshell (24:39.586)
that he hasn't been to Rob, he hasn't been to this park since he's capital of the greenies there anyway, like, you know, I'm gonna say a year ago. And now he gets to go back there. He gets to go back there almost daily if he wishes, and he's got a reason to get out and walk, especially in Minnesota, like it's chilly. Ha ha ha.
Rob (24:47.171)
Years ago, yeah.
Rob (24:50.871)
Mm-hmm. Right? Yeah. And that's a good thing. And that's kind of what I've seen as well. We've got a lot of players who, you know, they may have been around for a while, and some of them are like, oh, this changes the game completely. And that's true. And I'm kind of in that camp where it's like, what is this going to do to the game, which is why we built in the escape clause to say, this may be permanent. It may not be. But here's the thing, okay? I'm going to give you...
Seemyshell (25:04.75)
Mm-hmm.
Seemyshell (25:08.801)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (25:12.204)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (25:16.69)
Yeah.
Rob (25:20.423)
some insight into the back end because it's the numbers you see. It's the numbers that speak for themselves. And these numbers were shared with me yesterday in a gameplay meeting. And at that point in time, I basically changed my tune. OK, so January 3rd, there were one thousand five hundred and sixty three greeny captures. How many do you think on February 3rd?
Seemyshell (25:23.81)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (25:29.312)
Mm-hmm.
Seemyshell (25:45.502)
I'm gonna say triple that.
Rob (25:48.963)
Oh, good. Okay. One thousand five hundred sixty three. And you say triple that the number on February 3rd was twenty eight thousand. Yeah. Nearly nearly a two thousand percent increase. And you're like, wait, but that was the third. So surely that's not okay. So on the fourth, January 4th, one thousand thirty on January or on February 4th, twenty eight thousand. Yep.
Seemyshell (25:53.332)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (25:57.782)
Oh what? 28 times or 20- 25 times?
percent
Seemyshell (26:16.456)
Wow, see it works, it works Rob. Wow.
Rob (26:18.663)
3000% increase on the 5th 1169 and then in February 22,000 yesterday the 6th 2415 in January and in the first 13 hours 15,000 captures yesterday. It's ridiculous. So you know what I think that even though we might see some people saying well I don't know it turns out the numbers say heck yeah.
Seemyshell (26:28.007)
Wow, that's insane.
Seemyshell (26:38.399)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (26:44.502)
Yeah.
Yeah, the predominantly the people are for it by the sounds of it and by the looks of things, you know, and People say, you know, oh, it's only 20 points Whatever but hey at the end of the day if you cap your Skyland if you cap your treehouse They're only 20 points every day without the bounces on them. So why not? Why not be able to cap your greenies every single day at the same time People I did this is not on the show notes Rob. I just thought about this now and that is
People complained in regards to that time, a few months back there, where they were do not host. The greenies became do not host because they're unloved. They're totally unloved, you know, and rightfully so. Well, now they can, because you're capping them on a daily basis, what happens? Oh, look at that. They then become to hosting again. So now there's possibility of you doing your daily walk, capturing your greenies, and then sometimes, more often than not, you'll actually get a bouncer on those greenies. It's a bigger possibility, we'll say that.
Rob (27:25.183)
Mm-hmm.
Rob (27:30.979)
Hehe
Rob (27:42.927)
You mean if that greenie seems to be really active that things might land there? That is so weird. So weird. Can host after all.
Seemyshell (27:50.015)
That's right. Wow. See, look at that. Look at that. Wow, wow, wow. Rob, we're getting really close on time now, so we're gonna have to move on. Should we talk about the, what do you call it? The Happy Lunar New Year?
Rob (27:58.099)
Yeah, sorry about that.
Rob (28:04.927)
Yeah, because we did have app updates to talk about, but like I'd said last week, it's basically the same information. So check last week's stuff. We've got two more still to come. They're super, super close. So Saturday is the Lunar New Year, and this is the Year of the Dragon, and you may notice that we've taken some inspiration for that. We're going to have new information next week, and there's no dragon in and out of me this week.
Seemyshell (28:12.268)
Okay.
Seemyshell (28:17.014)
Perfect. Yep.
Seemyshell (28:21.132)
Mm-hmm.
Rob (28:34.208)
Ha ha.
So, year of the dragon, happy new year, everyone, lunar new year, and yeah, stick around. We've got some cool stuff happening in terms of the year of the dragon. It's gonna be hot.
Seemyshell (28:38.535)
Oh, wrong.
Seemyshell (28:48.971)
Also, again, this isn't in the show notes, but guys, it is February now as well, so make sure you get in your new Glass Guardian too. Don't forget your Glass Guardian for the month. Meanwhile, Rob, we're gonna move on now to the question of the week. And this one comes from Funbro down in Florida at the time. And he actually asked me this in person. And I said to him, would you like the answer now, or would you like it on the podcast? He said,
Rob (28:59.964)
Oh yeah, good call.
Seemyshell (29:14.814)
Oh, both. So I gave him the answer in person, but I also now he wants it on the podcast. And he was looking at other people and other players and statistics. And as we all do stalker, like we do, he asked, where can we get the P O T W and P O T M et cetera, the other, the stuff that's next to your player name. Where can we get that? And what does it mean?
Rob (29:18.859)
Yeah.
Rob (29:36.187)
Well, the POTW Player of the Week, POTM Player of the Month, those are old school titles. They're retired. Yeah, so we stopped both of those programs a while back, mainly because we were actually spending quite a bit of time on them, and the badges, and coming up with requirements, and doing stuff about it. And we shifted our focus into.
Seemyshell (29:50.136)
Mm-hmm.
Seemyshell (29:55.052)
Mm-hmm.
Rob (30:01.951)
gameplay into other bits of the company and the work that needs to be done. So yeah, thanks for the question. Um, there are other titles and we come up with them from time to time. So, you know, watch for them and, uh, we'll put the requirements out. If we come up with some new ones. Yeah.
Seemyshell (30:07.638)
There you go. Yes.
Seemyshell (30:13.503)
Mm-hmm.
Seemyshell (30:18.198)
Keep an ear out, keep an ear out. Meanwhile, Rob, we've got the Munzee Tip of the Week. And this tip comes from you. You can say this tip of the week. It's from you, mate, it's from you. Yeah, yeah, yeah you did.
Rob (30:25.871)
Oh, can I? Yeah, I did write it up because it's something, you know, that I think is just a good idea that some people don't know about when they get started and other people who are listening to that, this may have no idea. So as you get involved and grow your area.
Seemyshell (30:35.022)
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Rob (30:42.651)
you actually start to build progress to crew status, and then eventually you can continue to do that, and it involves deploying physicals to get all the way to the Z crew. So when you make it to crew status, you have the ability to do maintenance, and that allows you to kind of replace Munsies that are owned by anyone. So that's giving you the chance to refresh the map wherever you go, which, for example, for you, as you travel, then you can replace those things.
Seemyshell (30:46.296)
Mm-hmm.
Seemyshell (30:52.14)
Mm-hmm.
Seemyshell (31:02.507)
Mm-hmm.
Seemyshell (31:07.318)
Yeah.
Mm-hmm. Yep.
Rob (31:11.905)
making it all the way to ZCrew, it's a little bit more work. But it's worth it because there are some discounted products that people don't necessarily know about until they make it to ZCrew. I send a message out once a month or twice a month or every couple of months to ZCrew members just reminding them about that. Yep.
Seemyshell (31:23.435)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (31:31.406)
Exactly. And don't forget guys, links in the show notes of what we're talking about here as well in regards to the crew or Z crew as well. But Rob, I will say this before we close out. I was actually talking to a brand new player. She's been playing for like less than a week, mind you. She's on 210,000 points and she's been playing for less than a week in her first week. She does travel, just saying. But she asked me about it as well, about replacing and whatever as well. And I said, look, you have to do this. And then...
Rob (31:46.651)
Wow.
Seemyshell (32:00.338)
I said to get up to Z Crew status, you need 200 physical deploys. And she's like, oh, what? I said, yes, so get your hands on some stickers, just saying. Yeah.
Rob (32:08.059)
Yeah, no doubt. Um, well, offline, you and I are gonna have to talk about who this is, because I need more players, more players in this pool that come in and get 210,000 after the first week and they're like instantly going, Hey, by the way, I want to have I want to I want to be crew on z crew. What is this? Yeah. Wow.
Seemyshell (32:19.195)
Hahahaha
Seemyshell (32:27.539)
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Her highest day, she got 105,000 points in a day in her first week. So yeah, yeah. Mind you, she was in Florida. She was in Florida at the time. Yeah. Yeah, she was in Florida, exactly. All right, guys, don't forget, if you have a question of the week for Rob and any question will be asked or a Munzee Tip of the Week as well, please let me know and you can message me on any.
Rob (32:34.291)
Obviously living, okay, I was gonna say, living in a Munzee-rich area for sure then, yes. Wow.
Seemyshell (32:52.05)
messages such as Facebook, Instagram, or on Discord, or the Munzee app as well. So Rob, this ends another official Munzee podcast.
