Seemyshell (00:01.354)
Welcome to the Official Munzee Podcast.

Rob (00:03.782)
I'm Rob, also known as Coach V, your host and the president of Munzee.

Seemyshell (00:07.729)
And I'm Craig, also known as Seemyshell. I'm an avid Munzee player. I'm here to explore the game further.

Rob (00:13.214)
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 (00:20.185)
So sit back, relax as today's episode, we're talking Easter cards, fountain pens, glass guardians, who was the April fools plus much, much more. Rob, big show, mate, big show today. Huge, yes. Exactly, before we start, Rob, before we start, I have to make a correction from last episode last week. We said, well, I said that we're talking about the first caps here. Remember what we said about the first caps?

Rob (00:30.505)
Big show. Let's get started now because you know what we've been doing. 33 plus. Oh yeah.

Rob (00:43.333)
Oh.

Rob (00:48.63)
Oh yeah, yeah.

Seemyshell (00:49.285)
And how, how Whelan was out there capping the scatters to get the first to cap points. Well, I was wrong, Rob. Whelan is actually, he's not first. He's sixth. Yes. Not, not second, third, fourth, fifth, but actually sixth. So yeah. Yeah.

Rob (00:57.768)
Oh.

Rob (01:02.934)
Wow, you are probably acting on information from me that might have been multiple years old tucked away in my brain not actually fact checked. So my apologies through you. Yes. Yeah.

Seemyshell (01:09.017)
Hahahaha

Seemyshell (01:13.973)
This is true. That's okay. I should have fact checked you to be honest with you. And I should know, I should know you by now, mate, but, but fact checking is very easy too. You know why Sam hello. Good day, mate. Cup of Z. It was so easy to fact check this as well. So a quick shout out big lion. He has over he or she over 282,000 first caps Lindsay,

Rob (01:22.304)
Right.

Rob (01:28.316)
Ah yeah.

Rob (01:41.042)
Linds the Lillipad, yeah.

Seemyshell (01:42.185)
Lyn's Lily pad over 168,000, Herbie 163,000, Matty 147,000, Jaroslav Cass, we all know that name from this podcast, 142,000, and then comes Whelan with 139,000. So he's less than half of Big Lion, who's a 282,000 first to cap.

Rob (02:04.97)
Wow, I'm gonna hit memory clear on the old wheeling, you know, number one button, huh, for FTC. I'm gonna clear that one out of my head and I'll keep this fact instead. Thank you for the fact check.

Seemyshell (02:08.953)
Hehe

Seemyshell (02:16.373)
You're welcome, mate. And thank you for the others out there who actually fact-checked me first and said, Craig, that's wrong. That's wrong. So thank you. You know who you are out there on either the water cooler personal message, you know, the Munzee app, et cetera, as well. So anyway, Rob, what else have you been up to this week? I see, I see Rob, cause I can see you, you got a different background to normal. You got like books and stuff. You look like you look actually intelligent for once.

Rob (02:20.579)
Thank you.

Rob (02:39.834)
Yes, that's because I met my parents house and you know, this is how they raised me. This is not how I keep myself, of course. Yeah, so we traded in some gray skies of England and cool temperatures and we flew to Texas and to the gray skies of Texas. Yeah, over the weekend it was cloudy and warm, so that was nice, but yeah, it's brightened up over the last couple days and so we're just soaking in the sunshine over the Easter break.

Seemyshell (02:46.294)
Mm-hmm

Seemyshell (02:51.021)
No.

Seemyshell (02:56.633)
laughs

Seemyshell (03:01.241)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (03:04.781)
dies.

Seemyshell (03:08.565)
Yeah, yeah.

Rob (03:09.242)
And eclipses coming through on Monday. So yeah, so we're hoping right now the forecasts are showing across most of Texas clouds and that's gonna make it difficult to see an eclipse, but we're hoping that it clears, yeah.

Seemyshell (03:12.286)
Oh, that's true too, that's true.

Seemyshell (03:19.941)
Yeah. Oh, no. Well, if there is lots of clouds, Rob, all you need to do is, you know, pull your pants down towards the sun and have the moon in front of the sun that way. But anyway, I digress. I know, right? That wasn't on the show notes. Mate, I've been doing some testing for you as well. Did you see that? Yeah. Some cappy testing as well, throwing the stars and chasing stars and...

Rob (03:32.352)
Oh god. No it wasn't.

Rob (03:40.05)
I did, I did. Well done.

Rob (03:46.464)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (03:46.817)
Then going to wishing wells more on that. I dare say next episode because this one is jam packed. So, and also Rob this weekend, this weekend, actually at the moment, as this, as this goes live on Friday, I'm in an airplane again, and I'm flying down to Florida, sunny Florida, and why is a Munzee event down there? There's another Munzee event there. I'm going to say good day to Dale and Barb and, and all my Florida friends down there as well. So, um, yeah, I'm going down the floor. Give me some points. Exactly. So yeah.

Rob (04:04.13)
What? Huh!

Rob (04:13.114)
you some points man that sounds great. Any special reason why you're flying down there for that monzie event?

Seemyshell (04:19.466)
No, no, I don't celebrate any reasons, no.

Rob (04:21.502)
Okay, good. Well, so it's not your birthday. So not a happy early birthday to you then. Okay, cool. I'll pretend that it's not then very good. So everybody gets his birthday this weekend, be sure and send him a message.

Seemyshell (04:27.125)
I'm sorry.

Seemyshell (04:33.206)
You know what, you can actually, you can, you can send me a card down to Florida, but anyway, I'll try. I'll try and cap them. I'll try. Let's see how we go. All right, Rob, the week that was we had events, only two events in USA in India and Missouri around the world. We had.

Rob (04:36.238)
Oh yeah, good call.

Rob (04:47.062)
We had an event in ACT that we have talked about for quite a while. And oh, my gosh, I know that you're you should have been the one who said this because you must be just beaming with pride because the Australia event was the first 50 plus mega event in the southern hemisphere. Way to go. It was gliss, right? Was the main host on there, is that right? One of. Yeah, yeah.

Seemyshell (04:50.91)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (04:57.423)
I know. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Seemyshell (05:08.066)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (05:11.713)
What? Yeah. Gliss was one of the main house, one of four of the main hosts. Kitty catch was another one down there as well. And the nibble cakes, I think is another one too, just the top of my head. Yeah.

Rob (05:19.318)
So cool. So exciting. I wrote over 60. I checked 71. 71 caps on that pen. Amazing. Yeah, very exciting.

Seemyshell (05:27.242)
Yeah. 71 caps. There we go. Well done. ICT. Well done, Australia. Very proud. Um, meanwhile, I did a lot of friends down there, Rob as well. And I will say this, and this is, I'm skipping the show notes, by the way. Um, they had that many people reactivate their accounts. They had a few people brand new as well that didn't even know about Munzee come through. And so now Rob, there's that many people excited about how Munzee works.

Rob (05:40.115)
That was fun.

Seemyshell (05:53.229)
how Munzee runs and also the events and the cake Rob, they got addicted to the cake. So now you will see, honestly, well not you, but Lou, Lou's gonna see more and more and more events in the ACT. And I'm not talking monthly events, I'm talking possibly weekly or fortnightly events, Rob. So there you go. Yeah, yeah, because they're all sharing around the events sort of pins now too, so it's pretty cool. So yes, meanwhile, also big shout out, we don't do weekday normally shout outs, but I have to shout this person out.

Rob (05:58.295)
Ha ha.

Rob (06:10.841)
Wow, hey, that's great.

Rob (06:16.398)
That's cool.

Seemyshell (06:22.989)
out. Her name is purple cash eater. She is the host of the geocaching down under podcast and a good friend of mine. She got first on Thursday first time ever in the world 167,000 points. So a big congratulations to her on Thursday 167 because she actually wrote like she was in a CT at the time. That's the reason why she had a day and she talked to herself, I'm going to be too busy over the weekend when it's double points and I'm not going to be able to get on the leaderboard.

Rob (06:34.574)
Wow. Yeah.

Seemyshell (06:50.969)
So she did it on Thursday and said, see smart, smart. Yeah, yeah. On Friday we had Rob.

Rob (06:53.374)
Yeah, that's thinking that is thinking. That's really great. Friday we had walked to here. 194,000 Munsey prof second again, 160,000 and Mrs. HB 31 at 145,000.

Seemyshell (07:09.453)
You didn't put in fourth, Rob, but I think fourth was Mr. HB 31. Anyway, just say on Saturday, we had AJ MCC 480 at 267,000 points. Jasper 95 at 234,000 points. And she likes me saying it's slow. Rob Q 22 Q 17 at 208,000 points.

Rob (07:13.718)
Possibly, yeah.

Rob (07:32.174)
That's right. Then on Sunday we had Felix 11, 172,000, McDon R 168,000, and KWD 153,000.

Seemyshell (07:43.933)
And then the events upcoming this weekend, we have Missouri, Texas, Iowa, Florida, which I'll be there as well. And Ohio on Monday around the world.

Rob (07:52.562)
Cool. Around the world we've got Nottingham, UK, which is looking like it should be a mega event. They've got 51 Willattens down already. One in Ontario, Canada, Germany, ACT Australia, and then Denmark on Monday.

Seemyshell (08:00.052)
Nice.

Seemyshell (08:09.397)
Ah, again, see, ACT Australia. I told you, Rob, they're hosting more and more events. Look out, Lou, look out, Lou, here they come. Hopefully she understands the Australian accents. But anyway, large events coming up over the next few months. Of course, we've said this before, we've got three going now. Minneapolis, May 10th, 12th, there's 40 Willetons so far. Munzey Mania, you and I will both be there, Rob. Get your Willetons in so these numbers can go up, especially this next one in Flagstaff, Arizona, Rob.

Rob (08:10.988)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (08:15.234)
Keepin' her busy.

Rob (08:36.918)
Yeah, Flagstaff, Arizona, where Woodstock, a big old geo other event is going on May 24th through the 26th. Currently, we're showing seven people, but this one's going to be like that mega down in ACT. There are going to be a lot of other game players. And so we definitely expect that to go big. Yeah, yours is on there. Mine is, as I said last week, I'm.

Seemyshell (08:41.081)
Mm-hmm. Ha ha ha.

Seemyshell (08:51.946)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (08:55.502)
Yeah.

I got my will attended. I put my will attended already. Yeah. You're, yeah. Yeah. Yep.

Rob (09:04.338)
I'm there, I'm on the edge of my finger is hovering above the button. So, uh, yeah, so let's, uh, let's make it a big deal guys.

Seemyshell (09:11.273)
Exactly. And a shout out to, to Jack Hushing vlogger and Minnesota boy as well. They're both coming Rob, but you know, they haven't got the Willow Thames in you, so there you go.

Rob (09:18.738)
Well, I was going to say well then I'm in but they haven't clicked the button yet. So what?

Seemyshell (09:21.913)
They haven't put the button, they haven't put the button in, they got to put the button as well. So meanwhile, we have a hamstring UK as well, June 14th to 16th over that weekend, 28 there so far as well. And of course, if you're a host of a growing event, please reach out to me personally at, uh, you know, see my shell on any of the social media or on the Munzee app as well. Rob, we've got to get into it, mate. This is this, this week, this week, lots of things happen this week, Rob, lots of things. I'll say this first. People don't read the blog.

Rob (09:41.454)
Let's do it.

Rob (09:50.082)
Hmm.

Seemyshell (09:50.681)
And the reason why I say that is the Easter cards, new Easter cards came out. I saw the blog, I read the blog, I purchased myself a few of these Easter cards because they look pretty cool too Rob, I will say. There was Easter cards in different colors and shapes and baskets and all sorts. And then I read it further and it said, the more people cap these cards, the more likely you are to get bonus cards, which are golden eggs. I got eight golden eggs.

Rob (10:15.308)
Hmm.

Seemyshell (10:17.845)
And so I'm thinking to myself, well, the more people get caps on these, the more chances you have of getting these golden eggs, I put them around events, Rob. I mean, of course I shared some around my friends knowing that, you know, I do them a favor, but you know, at the end of the day, I put them around events and stuff too. Did you get it? Did you do any of those as well?

Rob (10:28.362)
Yeah.

Rob (10:34.142)
You know, I like to try and lead by example. So, um, so I, honestly, what I was really doing was I was testing to make sure that it was working properly. So I may have strategically placed several of my cards like as it went live. And, and I will say I put out about 10 cards. I put I think six down there at the ACT events and saw some pretty good production from those. So yeah, I ended up with 11 golden egg.

Seemyshell (10:37.101)
Hehehehe

Seemyshell (10:49.851)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (10:58.276)
Oh yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Rob (11:04.046)
cards and some a couple of them popped up into my inventory within half an hour because I had Quite a few caps on a couple of those cards. Yeah

Seemyshell (11:10.773)
Yeah. Nice. You see again, don't just listen to us here because sometimes things come out and we haven't actually, well, I haven't been privy to it at the moment. So, so like this one here, I, we didn't mention this in the last week's episode because it hadn't been out yet. So you got to still want to read the blogs, people still read the blog. So there you go.

Rob (11:30.586)
I knew that we had two choices. One choice was delay the podcast to after 12 on Friday or put the podcast out and then just wait until the next Friday. The good news is everyone still has a chance to get those because the, the golden egg is jumping out for all the rest of this week and all the way through next weekend, which is like the 12th or something. So, uh, continue it's through the, through the Sunday.

Seemyshell (11:34.935)
Mm-hmm. Nah.

Seemyshell (11:43.915)
Yes.

Seemyshell (11:50.757)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (11:55.712)
Yeah.

Rob (11:59.414)
whatever that is sorry, don't have the calendar, but in case everyone didn't notice, they're also available in the redeem store for stamps. So all of those Easter cards. So if you have stamps, and you previously have deployed one of those cards, then you'll find them there. And that is true for all of the Easter bonus golden egg ones. Yeah.

Seemyshell (12:00.405)
Yeah, no, that's true. That's true.

Seemyshell (12:08.002)
Yes!

Seemyshell (12:11.819)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (12:21.109)
Mm-hmm. No, no, very good. And it's good to see that Rob now you're keeping up with the times. You've got rid of all the Christmas cards in the redeem store and now comes Easter. So that was cool. Yes.

Rob (12:30.454)
Yeah, my redeem store Cleanup was running a bit slow, but I'll try not to keep the Easter cards in all the way through. Oh, I don't know November yeah Oh, yeah

Seemyshell (12:44.441)
Fair enough, fair enough. Well, speaking of slow Rob, speaking of slow, there were a few people as well on Facebook and Instagram and Twitter or X, whatever you call it as well. Tell me Rob, the vacuum, the vacuum, I saw that there. And then people were like, you know, oh, how much is this? Where can I get it from? Blah, blah, this, that, the other. I knew straight away, Rob, I thought this a hundred percent, this has to be an April Fool's joke. It was on the 1st of April, et cetera, et cetera. I chimed in Rob.

Rob (12:55.978)
Mm-hmm. Ooh. Oh yeah.

Rob (13:09.73)
Hehehe

Seemyshell (13:13.361)
I trummed in with my little April fools part of it as well saying, Oh yeah, I got one blah, blah. And I got lots of points from it. This is, as I said, the other, guess what? I fooled someone. I fooled Bob. She said to me, yeah. Cause she wrote back on, on the Facebook as well. She wrote back saying, Oh, trust you to get it, Craig. We didn't get it. And we're just resellers. Blah, blah, blah. I'm going to park up. I'm going to park up the van now until we get some. I'm like, Oh, I got you Bob. Exactly.

Rob (13:19.886)
Yeah.

Rob (13:23.943)
No.

Rob (13:37.378)
Of course you got to test it. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, you know, I, I did. I saw, I saw some fun things that were happening in the water cooler and I decided to play along with those as well, you know, and somebody popped up something about a gas station POI and thanking MHQ for, you know, giving it to them. And I was like, Oh man, this is great. Yeah. We're super excited that, that those of you who made it to level six and oh man, yeah, it was fun.

Seemyshell (13:45.601)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (13:49.133)
Hahaha

Seemyshell (13:54.506)
Yess

Seemyshell (13:58.325)
Hahahaha

Rob (14:05.514)
I really enjoy April Fool's Day and this year we thought that it would be fun to not jump the gun like we have so many other years where we put out like five different things and here's some fake and here's some real and just mess with people in general but we started about 12 hours before it's April 1st in the US you know. So this year instead we just sat back and

Seemyshell (14:14.048)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (14:17.987)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (14:22.432)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (14:27.54)
Hehe

Rob (14:31.186)
let all the other jokes go and happen and we launched ours at what 12 o'clock on Monday on the first. And yeah, well, let's just say we got some responses, didn't we? So yeah, it was.

Seemyshell (14:33.528)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (14:37.377)
Midday, midday MHQ time.

Seemyshell (14:46.893)
Well, there you go. All I can say, Rob, and I can ask you this genuinely well, did anyone actually get the vacuum to do this thing at all? Did anyone get this vacuum thing?

Rob (14:54.55)
Well, I don't, I don't know, man. I don't know. Is if it were real, then maybe people would have it to test. But I think that's the question. Is it real? It, it, uh, it sucks that no one knows the answer.

Seemyshell (14:59.117)
Oh.

Seemyshell (15:10.35)
Oh, Rob, are you gonna leave us on, not just the cliff edge, but a bad pun cliff edge as well? Geez. All right, all right. Let's move on then, CZ, you're not gonna answer the question. The flat fountain pen was just being released as well. I saw that. That looks really cool. That's a brand new flat, just like all the other flats as well. So people don't understand. Flats themselves were developed originally because, this is what I learned in California. They were developed originally because of you and all your travels.

Rob (15:16.138)
I was just trying to take notes from you. It's all good.

Rob (15:25.186)
Yeah.

Rob (15:34.662)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (15:37.797)
And everyone was putting a flat rob of where you went. And then they had the flat Lou come out and the flat Matt and the hammock and all these. So the flats themselves actually represent people inside Munzee headquarters. So like the typewriter for instance, as well now with the scatters on typewriter. And his name is Craig, not me, Craig as in the CEO of a freeze tag, Craig, cause he's a writer. And so that's the typewriter for Craig as well. But the flat fountain pen, Rob, tell us more about the flat fountain pen.

Rob (15:40.642)
them.

Rob (15:57.379)
Yeah.

Rob (16:07.458)
Yeah, so the flat fountain pen is for Andy, Andy Cameron, who is our resident artist. He does the majority of the heavy lifting of the art for all things Munzee. He is also the main artist for Wallaby, our other app, and that's actually where he started. So he was the only artist in Wallaby. And then years ago, eight, 10, however many, probably 10 years ago.

Seemyshell (16:14.685)
Oh.

Seemyshell (16:18.752)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (16:27.118)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (16:37.326)
Um, when we brought wallaby into our family, um, kept him on board cause he's, uh, he's amazing. So yeah. So we were happy to, um, turn him loose on creating his own flat because normally he's working on flats for other people. So yeah, we, we call these the flat objects because, um, as a flat object, you know, yes, it is tied to a person, but really it's an object. And so then the, it's a little less like a Matt and hammock situation where like.

Seemyshell (16:41.635)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (16:50.291)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (17:06.733)
flat mat is still out there on the map, but real Matt is out there in the real world somewhere outside the Munzee universe. He makes appearances from time to time. But yeah, so these objects represent different people in the company and, and what they enjoy.

Seemyshell (17:16.505)
Yes. Yeah. Yep.

Seemyshell (17:25.153)
Very cool. And a big shout out then to Andy as well, because I'll tell you now, there's people in this game, Rob and playing this game purely because of Andy with his artwork that he, you know, absolutely true. I, one of my, my newest referral, she, she loves all the artwork. She thinks they're so cute. She loves, she reads, I told you, you know, weeks gone by, she stops at a Skyland and, and literally looks and watches and reads every part of what bounces, you know, she hasn't got those auto pop-offs. So yeah.

Rob (17:38.391)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (17:54.925)
So yeah, big shout out to Andy, mate. Good job. Hopefully he listens to this podcast itself and a big thumbs up from a lot of people out there, mate, who do appreciate your work. So there we go.

Rob (17:55.137)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (18:04.946)
If Andy listens to this podcast, why are you wasting your time? Get your pen back on that board and keep drawing because we have so much stuff going on with him right now. Honestly, you, you have no idea how, how much stuff he does, all the event stuff and he, you know, made the cake and he, um, like literally all the things. So guess what was actually the newest thing that he has drawn.

Seemyshell (18:13.306)
I'm going to go.

Seemyshell (18:22.393)
Wow. Oh, of course.

Rob (18:33.034)
And this is the stuff that everyone really loves and enjoys is all of these glass guardians. We came up with this idea, right, for this year, like, oh, glass guardians. And I kind of spun our garden stuff in a different direction where it was garden hedges and garden gnomes and flamingos. So yeah, these glass guardians. And he and Dylan just have a little bit of a chat. And there's like, here's a general idea of an image. And then it's like, all right.

Seemyshell (18:35.865)
Yeah.

Oh, of course. Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (18:48.43)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Seemyshell (18:57.698)
Yeah.

Rob (19:02.87)
go Andy and go he does. So with our reseller glass guardians, which we have launched this week. Have you seen those?

Seemyshell (19:05.518)
Hmm.

Seemyshell (19:10.693)
Mm-hmm. Yeah. No, no. Oh, yeah. Well, that's why I haven't seen them. I'm a player, Rob. I'm not a Munzee... I'm a player, not a worker. Mm.

Rob (19:15.11)
Not officially right now as we record, have you? Yeah, I know exactly. It's true. You haven't, but when, when you listen to this after they are launched and you see them, then, then some of what I'll say makes sense because it's amazing. Like he's done some super cool stuff. And so if you remember like, or, or look at, or think about the, the other items that we have that are reseller.

Seemyshell (19:31.589)
Uh-uh.

Seemyshell (19:35.736)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (19:44.265)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (19:44.634)
items like the rumbots have, you know, special color scheme to them that's based on each of the four different resellers. And, and so then, you know, even their reseller icon is special to them, so that you get some sort of an Aussie theme to whatever it is that Geologgers has. So Geologgers has the thorny glass guardian and

Seemyshell (19:47.787)
Yes.

Seemyshell (19:51.299)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Seemyshell (20:00.862)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (20:04.951)
Yes.

Mm-hmm.

Rob (20:13.138)
You know, it's this deserty, brown looking glass guardian. But in order to make it Aussie, putting a hat on it like yours, not quite. It wouldn't quite fit. So corks are hanging off of the tail instead. So you've got an Aussie reference in there to make sure that it's like, there it is.

Seemyshell (20:19.269)
I'm sorry.

Seemyshell (20:23.959)
Hmm.

Seemyshell (20:30.524)
Oh, what are you saying? My, my hats, my head's big.

Oh, I like it. I like it.

Yeah. Well, Rob, before you move on, do you know why, do you know why we have the corks around our wide rim hats? It's seriously, it's to shoot the flies away. Yeah. No, no, no. It's just to shoot the flies away. It's been, I'm serious. I can't be serious sometimes. Yeah. They swing around and so it's like rushing your, your hand in front of your face. Yeah. It's a doing a corks cork does the same job as your hand. So there you go. That's the reason for it. So there you go.

Rob (20:41.366)
So that's the thorny glass guardian. Yeah.

No do tell.

Oh, I thought you were going to give me some joke. I'm impressed. Because they move. Yeah.

Rob (21:02.239)
Hey!

Rob (21:05.846)
Well, who knew? Who knew?

Seemyshell (21:08.481)
See, you learn these things on this Munzee podcast about Australia too. So, all right, what else do we have Rob, these glass gating? Because we've got four, what are the other three?

Rob (21:15.966)
Yeah, so Elliot who is Munzee Madness, also known as Golden Coins, has a gilded glass guardian. So that one is golden. So we've got this golden glass there and kind of like posed on this gold nugget, if you will, but all of that, all of that glass theme. Yeah, so that's a good one. Then you have the armored glass guardian for Northeast Yo-Cashing supplies.

Seemyshell (21:20.845)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (21:29.936)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (21:44.842)
And that's Chris and Rachel there in England. And so their theme is usually based around, you know, lions or dragons in general is kind of their theme for England. And so couldn't just be a dragon that doesn't work. So instead, there's it's like in a suit of armor, a coat of armor. And that theme. Yeah, so like a night. So a good one there. Yep.

Seemyshell (21:44.962)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (21:54.541)
Yes.

Seemyshell (22:05.963)
Lookin' nice.

Night Guardian, that's right, but during the day, very good. Oh, of course. Yes.

Rob (22:12.662)
Then for Dale and Barb over at Space Coast, we have the Cosmic Glass Guardian. So this one is space-themed, exactly. So you get a vibe of cosmic, I don't know, radiating, I don't know, asteroid-type feel to it. Yeah, so that's what's going on.

Seemyshell (22:26.627)
Mm.

Seemyshell (22:32.041)
Yes. Nice. Very cool. Very, very cool. Now, Rob, with these, as you said, they're out now as this podcast has gone live, but not out because it's a Wednesday for me. Um, okay. So you can buy one of each of these stores. Can you?

Rob (22:43.766)
Right.

Rob (22:48.274)
Yes, so you can buy one from each of these stores, okay? And that is all, it is not one per month, it is one from each of the stores. So that gives you a total of four. They work exactly the same as the ones from the freeze tag store. So they start off in April at $9, and then each month the price will go down on those.

Seemyshell (22:52.62)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (22:57.966)
No, no, no.

Seemyshell (23:01.861)
fool.

Seemyshell (23:05.59)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (23:12.521)
Monthly go down. Oh, okay.

Rob (23:16.402)
This is part of the program that is the, you know, if you own eight, um, glass guardians, yeah, eight glass guardians at the end of the year, then it turns into a permanent, um, glass guardian that you can continue to mix the skins through. Uh, yeah. Yeah. So we, we put these out there so that, um, we can support the resellers around the world. So we really appreciate it when the players do the same. So they're available.

Seemyshell (23:21.125)
I was gonna say, yeah, do they count towards the eight? Yeah. Oh, wow. Wow.

Seemyshell (23:31.149)
And that's nice. That's nice. That makes sense. That makes sense, Rob.

Seemyshell (23:38.894)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah, exactly. And I guarantee I'll have all four Rob and so my latest referral, just saying. So

Rob (23:47.03)
Woo. Well, that's great. Well, I say thank you on behalf of the resellers for that. Yeah, this is this. And this answers that question that we've had in the past on the podcast. Hey, when are the reseller glass guardians coming out? I can I can tell you now. The answer is now they're live. Yeah.

Seemyshell (23:51.977)
No, no, that's all right. They do a great job. They do a great job.

Seemyshell (24:00.065)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (24:05.241)
Now they're live. Go get them now. So there you go. Meanwhile, Rob, as I said before, I'm going down to Florida this weekend. There's double points weekend this weekend. They're double. It is double points on cards, flats, temps, greenies, and EVOs as well, which is really handy, especially for that. Uh, the clan war stuff too, the clan war points. So there you go. Yes. Anything you want to add to the double points weekend, Rob?

Rob (24:12.088)
Mm-hmm.

It's a good time.

Rob (24:30.198)
No, there are double points every weekend this month, so check out the schedule for the other three.

Seemyshell (24:34.981)
Good, good. Yep, yep, yep. Awesome, awesome. Because 25 minutes, Rob, we're going well, we're going well. We're gonna get to the question of the week. Rob, you saw this question of the week. You thought, hmm, this is from Florida Finder 2. He reached out to me as well. He said, first of all, I think he softened you up there, Rob. He goes, first of all, thanks again for the podcast as it offers a lot of good information. So that's his first, so to soften up. And then he said, why do some, and this makes sense. Why do some scatters only give points to

Rob (24:40.131)
We're good.

Rob (24:56.782)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (25:04.869)
the account of virtual, but others give points to the owner of the actual item that's scattered. For example, if I own an air mystery and I place it out there, that produces three of the scatters, but all those scatters points are tied to the virtual account, not to my account. So who, cause I deployed the money and earth mysteries are the same night vision goggles, et cetera. So he said that this would make more people deploy those types of things that especially not vision goggles. I'm just saying, um,

But yeah, but yeah, so because it goes towards a clan war. So why are they not the scatters for those not given to the players who deploy them?

Rob (25:42.346)
Well, this is a great question. And I would probably start by saying, um, forethought. There you go. We, we had these ideas at the beginning that we didn't think like 70 steps down the road to the fact that we wouldn't just have an air mystery, we would have an air mystery and avoid mystery and an electric mystery and all these different types, right, that might scatter different types of things. So, um, I don't, I don't know that the.

Seemyshell (26:04.612)
Yeah, yeah.

Rob (26:09.474)
Air was the very first one that did scatters, but I think that that's possible. We put the scatters onto that virtual's account and we set a price point based on the air mystery. So if we were to go back and change the air mystery, for example, then that would skew like value price, everything.

Seemyshell (26:14.201)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (26:39.174)
across the rest of that little environment because the air mystery is priced lower than the electric and the void. And that's on purpose because the electric scatters out and they land on different virtuals that will give double points to the owners of those. If you're wise, you build yourself in the little electric trap where there's, you know, your three virtuals around you. So you're the one who's getting the double points all the time when the...

Seemyshell (27:01.347)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (27:07.086)
charges get capped. The void mystery is similar in the same. And so that is the reason because that base air mystery, when we did that and the same thing with like scatters off of catapults, the value of those things is based on what they land on. So thinking about the zodiac line, the zodiac line, the Celtic and Egyptian and the Norse, they scatter.

Seemyshell (27:16.255)
Okay.

Seemyshell (27:23.595)
Oh yeah.

Seemyshell (27:31.589)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (27:38.564)
on the owner's account where like the physical ones do not. So the value of the physical ones is lower than the value of these virtual ones that scatter out things that gather more points. So the more points you get based on a specific base Munzee, the more value, point value, that kind of stuff. So there you go. Long answer to a good question, thank you.

Seemyshell (27:40.726)
Yeah, yeah.

Seemyshell (27:46.151)
Oh.

Seemyshell (27:54.777)
Hmm. That'll you make sense. Makes sense. Great. Yeah. But great answer to a great question. Just saying is that a good job, Rob? I actually understood you then too, which is awesome. Um, like I went your path, which is cool. Don't forget guys, submit your questions for Rob, uh, or the tip of the week through me again, private message through Facebook, Instagram, discord, et cetera, all the Munzee app. Meanwhile, Rob.

Rob (28:03.822)
Thanks. All right.

Seemyshell (28:20.289)
Here is the Munzee tip of the week. And this one, this tip of the week is from you this time, not from me, is from you. What have we got for the tip of the week, mate?

Rob (28:27.438)
That's right. I'm just trying to save everybody time and headache. That's all I'm trying to do here, people. So here's a tip for you. Recently, we've made some changes in the Redeem store where you can redeem, let's say, two crossbows in order to get one temporary virtual. That's just an example. When you do that, guess what happens to your two crossbows that you traded in to get that one temporary virtual? They got archived.

Seemyshell (28:45.453)
Yeah.

Rob (28:55.514)
They're not there anymore. So we don't just delete them permanently. There is a record of them so that you can see it, and they get archived. So what's happening right now is some people like to keep track of absolutely everything. They're looking at their archived list and they're like, how did these, I didn't archive these two crossbows. So it totally makes sense and I'm not making fun. I am saying I get where that paranoia comes from.

Seemyshell (29:16.274)
Oh.

Yeah.

Seemyshell (29:23.545)
Yeah.

Rob (29:23.746)
because it also shows a weird deploy date of 2011, which is when the game started. So if it doesn't get deployed and it just straight gets archived, that's what's happening. So anyway, just want everyone to understand nothing's being lost or stolen or, you know, your stuff is all protected. If you redeem something that is a virtual, it gets archived and the new one springs forth from that, let's say.

Seemyshell (29:29.369)
Oh, yeah.

Seemyshell (29:42.379)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (29:50.165)
on your account, but it still stays on you. It makes sense. It stays on your account as archived. So therefore you have an actual record of it to say, oh, yep, those two say crossbows, they're archived because I use those two crossbows to get this virtual. So.

Rob (29:53.878)
Yeah.

Rob (30:04.27)
We're updating the notes on things and that is coming soon so that it gives you a better picture of why were those two archive. So because of the questions that are coming in, we're making our system better. So thank you for the questions, the support tickets, because the support tickets are what help us out.

Seemyshell (30:07.05)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (30:12.516)
Oh, okay, makes sense.

Seemyshell (30:22.325)
Yeah. Perfect. And don't forget if you actually had, do you have genuine question or genuine support as well that you need help with support at Munzee.com is the email address where you need to go. So don't message Rob personally or Lou or anyone else, the support at Munzee.com because then it is filtered to the exact person that can actually help you. So very good. All right, Rob, we run out of time now. So guess what? That ends another official Munzee podcast.

Rob (30:32.502)
Yep.
