Craig (00:01.558)
Welcome to the Official Munzee podcast.

Rob (00:04.093)
I'm Rob, also known as Coach V, your host and the president of Munzee.

Craig (00:08.032)
And I'm Craig also known as Seemyshell I started as an avid Munzee player, now proudly part of the team.

Rob (00:13.353)
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.

Craig (00:20.408)
So sit back, relax. Today's episode, it's a bit spooky. We talk about spooky stuff, but Rob, Rob, Rob, more importantly, it's all about the community, the Munzee community. We love them. We really do, we really do. Mike, yeah, big things have happened over the last week and that's what we're gonna talk about. I'm talking big things, big, big, huge.

Rob (00:31.369)
We love you community. That's right.

Rob (00:42.621)
It's been a really good week for big stuff. And I'm excited to talk about it today.

Craig (00:46.87)
Hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Meanwhile, before we start, as always, what have you been doing, Rob? Have you been apart from work? Have you been doing anything else? Not really.

Rob (00:57.075)
Well, man, so, so not much apart from work, because work, is keeping me rather busy right now. And, a big part of that is because we're bringing members of the team together as we've talked about in Texas. And because of that, I'm in charge of it and that's kind of a scary thing. Yeah. So.

Craig (01:07.885)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (01:14.35)
Mmm. Mmm. Mm-hmm.

no.

Rob (01:24.829)
in order to try and get a little more organized, which apologies to the team that isn't listening right now for in advance for my organizational style. But the good news is everyone's been in this team for a long time. So they're familiar with my brand of organization that's called organized chaos, I believe.

Craig (01:37.772)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Craig (01:48.046)
Rob, will say, mate, there are two team members listening and that is Minnesota boy, Minnesota boy, Minnesota boy and Sam. Just S-A-M, Sam. Just three letters, three letters, Sam.

Rob (01:53.922)
yeah.

yeah, I'm sorry, Sam. Sorry, Sam. The that we're not not bringing Sam over my apologies, Sam. There will come a time when we're bringing the larger team together. But but yeah, you're right. There are a couple of team members that listen. Well done. Hi, everyone.

Craig (02:08.951)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (02:12.418)
They see yeah, exactly. They play as well. They play daily as well, which is really cool to see. Yeah, I know. I know.

Rob (02:17.681)
Yeah, they do. Let's see if we can get more team members. But that's a conversation for Texas. How about that? I like that plan.

Craig (02:23.43)
Exactly. Yeah. Off air. Off. That's an off air conversation. I'm still in sweet home Alabama. So that's where I am. Yeah. No, no, I know. I know. And I will never get better at singing because forever Rob growing up as a child, I was always told Craig for a singer, you're a good dancer. that's yeah.

Rob (02:27.685)
Indeed it is. Tell me what you've been up to.

Rob (02:33.875)
You don't get better at singing that each week. Too bad.

Rob (02:47.621)
and from from stories, I understand that you actually are a good dancer. So that's what's interesting. Yeah, it turns out it's true.

Craig (02:52.878)
That's And I'm still still as said, Robin in Alabama heading up to an event this weekend as well. Like it's pretty exciting. I'm Rob. I may see the former the former number one player in the world this weekend, the first time I've ever met her. So we'll see. I'm hoping yeah, Humber seven. I hope she's I think she's at the event. I think she's even hosting, which is cool, too. So it'll be good to see her. Exactly. Meanwhile, Rob.

Rob (03:09.451)
Ooh! Humbird 7.

Rob (03:17.402)
that's good. Tell her SNA.

Craig (03:21.004)
we'll, we'll get it. We'll get straight into it. Cause we're lots of, lots of things to talk about events around the world in USA last weekend, we had Rhode Island, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Florida, two in Kansas, one in New York, Kentucky, and Iowa and around the world.

Rob (03:33.963)
Two in Hungary, Germany, UK, Netherlands, and Denmark.

Craig (03:39.436)
Before we move on to the leaderboards Rob, I have to apologize. We had, Rob ready for this? We had millionaires during the week last week. Millionaires during the week. Millionaires. I wonder Rob, is that because of all the like the double magnets and the double points and the scatters and all the things that you put into place that all of a sudden players are getting more and more points, maybe they all go towards the clan wars?

and they get more points this month than they've ever got before. So, I don't know.

Rob (04:08.807)
What? Say it ain't so say it ain't so math for the win. love it. I'm excited about all of these millionaires. That's super cool. That's a lot of effort to get a million points like during the week, but we do have some really cool, know, the with the scatters being double on a Tuesday with cards and greenies being double points.

Craig (04:18.867)
Exactly.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (04:25.633)
yeah. With. Yeah. Mm hmm.

Rob (04:35.121)
every day of the month. There are definitely some opportunities. if any of you are looking for first spot on the leaderboard, as we go toward the end of the month, you know, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, there might actually be some competition on those days is what I'm seeing. So anyway, good luck. Yeah.

Craig (04:36.065)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (04:42.818)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (04:49.997)
Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. All right, Rob, I'll go through the ones from last week first and foremost, the ones before last week's podcast. Tuesday last week, had Munzee Prof on 1.2 million, Toxin on 1.1 million, and NZ Kiwi on 1 million. On Wednesday, the very next day after that, Rob, we had Munzee Prof again on 1.1 million, and then the Thursday again, Munzee Prof 1.1 million points.

I wonder Rob, is he using boosters? Is he using, you know, different things and magnets and stuff like that? Absolutely. He's taking advantage. He's playing smarter, not necessarily harder. Maybe a bit harder as well, but still he's playing smart about things. So well done, Frank. Mate, hats off to you, buddy. Well done for that too. So we move into the weekend of last weekend. Now, Rob, Friday we had cold cracker seven on 3.3 million points. Sporty taxi.

Rob (05:18.73)
Wow.

Craig (05:46.624)
on 678,000 points and then taxi 343, I wonder if they're related on 675,000 points. Husband and wife, take it. Once, once I've, I thought so because that's the UK events was over there last, last weekend too. So mate Saturday we had.

Rob (05:55.987)
Indeed, From here, from the UK, yeah.

Rob (06:06.667)
Saturday was Coal Cracker 7 with 1.5 million Nutty Nan 1.4 million Toxin 1.2 million and there were a few other millionaires as well. That's Lanky Spanky with 1.1 million and those four by the way that's all the UK group Mobility and Addis with 1 million. Those are both from Hungary and then Brasilia and doing it for the kids with 1 million as well. UK.

Craig (06:23.425)
Yep.

Craig (06:32.749)
Nice job, nice job. Yeah, a lot of the UK from last weekend. Sunday we had Regal on 710,000 points, followed by Joe, 222s, triple twos on 670,000 points, and then Aaron Sog on through 638,000 points. Rob again, moving into this week, we had more millionaires during the week. Monday millionaire, had Munzee Prof once again back in the lead, 1.1 million points.

Schmidt's Fam 4 with 1 million points on Tuesday. Snickers 71, 1.3 million points. Munzee Prof again, 1.2 million points. And then NZ Kiwi on 1.1 million points. So if you don't think Munzee Prof and NZ Kiwi have this sorted out in their brain, they know exactly what they do to get, then the leaderboard doesn't lie. The points don't lie, Rob. If you, if you want to know exactly, have a look.

Rob (07:23.125)
Yeah. Yeah.

Craig (07:29.965)
You can have a look at their actual stats and see what they're doing, see what they're capping, see how they're capping. See if they're actually getting 14 bounces off a Skyland or a Treehouse, a premium one. See if they're getting those at double points as well because they're using boosters at the same time. Play smart, Rob, play smart. All right, Rob, that was a long points leaderboards listing.

Rob (07:45.397)
Yeah.

Rob (07:51.541)
I agree, I agree. That's how you do it.

Rob (07:58.569)
Yeah, it was. That's a lot of people who need to hear their names. They're doing some incredible stuff. That's great.

Craig (08:03.649)
They really are, they really are. So well done to all of the ones on the leaderboard from last week and this week as well. Current events coming up this weekend, Rob, we have in USA, Missouri, Indiana, California, Minnesota, New Jersey, and two, two in Alabama, of which I'll be heading to the one on Saturday, Rob. So that's the ones in USA and around the world, mate, we have.

Rob (08:24.671)
We've got one in Ontario and one in British Columbia, Canada, Lithuania, Finland, Netherlands, Norway. And then we also have three in Australia, one in Victoria, one in Western Australia and one in New South Wales.

Craig (08:39.917)
Look at you say I read the, what do call it? The two letter shortened versions of the states and you're reading the two and three letter shortened versions of my states. That's cool. Good job, Yeah, actually Rob, have to give eight. There's eight. There's eight states. Oh, that's too funny.

Rob (08:47.296)
Yeah.

Rob (08:51.049)
I've only got to keep five straight. You have to keep 50 of the US. So you're more impressive. Yeah. it's eight. I only remember five.

three down because we've got Munzeers in these three so I have these three down that's funny I didn't know it was eight obviously

Craig (09:09.419)
That is too funny. I like it. Rob is a true American born and bred. right. Big events coming up on a Friday, October 24th. Of course we have brews and booze with Monzi HQ in McKinney, Texas. That one is growing quite well. Rob, all I'll say is if you can get to that one, you're gonna be very special.

Rob (09:15.755)
No doubt.

Craig (09:36.491)
That's all I'll say. I'm not going to give any more away. It's going to be very special. Something may be happening at that one before anywhere else around the world.

Rob (09:43.691)
We love to do special things at special events, especially if we're running them.

Craig (09:47.433)
Exactly. That's right. That's right. And while you're there, of course, there's a Munzee Mischief events as well. Two on the Saturday and one on the Sunday. So that's really cool. The locations are live. So get your, if you can't make it, get your deploys in as well. We're talking the cards because they're double points. We're talking the, the temporary virtuals as well. Get them all there as much as you possibly can.

Big events on December 7th, Newmarket England, that's still growing as well. That one's gonna be pretty big, think, the one in Newmarket. So far it's only one event there on December 7th, but interesting. January 9th to 11th, North Netherlands, three big events by FRROK and he's having his birthday. Go and celebrate with him. January 16th to 18th, Munzee Mecca in Florida. That one has now been published even more so and is being promoted now on Facebook, which is cool. And then March 6th and 7th, Munzee Madness, four events as well for that one in...

Rob (10:17.877)
Yeah, me too.

Craig (10:40.969)
in Huntington Beach Central Park. That looks really cool. And then September 18 to 20, Munzey Mania in Minnesota. Rob, let's get into this podcast. And before we do, we're gonna talk about another podcast. Tell us what's happening, Rob.

Rob (10:52.383)
Yeah, let's let's talk about another one. There's a special podcast out there in the world that was looking for a new sponsor and they came and knock in on the door of the people who have similar, you know, mindset and that podcast. We're now a proud sponsor. I can't believe it. We as freeze tag Munzee every we've never sponsored another podcast before.

Craig (10:58.625)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (11:02.022)
Mm. Mm-hmm.

Craig (11:09.463)
Mm-hmm.

Hahaha.

Mm-hmm.

Rob (11:20.735)
This opportunity was one of those like too good to pass up. And that podcast is led by quite a crew. One of them sounds exactly like you because it is you. It's the Geocaching podcast. It's GCPC. So, wow. Yeah. So.

Craig (11:24.428)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (11:35.18)
The GCPC. Yes. Thank you, Rob. I do appreciate that. The only live call-in show every single Wednesday night on YouTube and Facebook as well. So yeah, the GCPC, if you're a co-exister, like a lot of us are, some of us aren't, but that's okay. If you're a co-exister, then yeah, listen up to the GCPC as well and you'll hear Freezetag being the official sponsor, one of the official sponsors of the GCPC. And you can call in and, you know, I'm the caller.

I'm the call screener. So you talk to me first. So if you haven't called into the GCPC, then yeah, give us a call in and we can chat from there. All right, Rob, other than that, the other things as well was the Halloween sale is now in the store. We're talking the Whittle zombies back in there, the pumpkin prize machines, skins, cards, lots of ghoulish things. So go take a look in the Halloween sale for the store. But let's get to the big news. Big news, Rob came out this week.

Rob (12:06.325)
Yeah.

Rob (12:13.643)
Very good.

Craig (12:33.803)
And that is the community credits, Rob. Tell us more about the community credits.

Rob (12:39.487)
Well, I can't wait to hear more from the community about the community credits. You know, we we've spent a long time talking about how do we get information from the players in a in, you know, an easier way. And, you know, how do we also maybe kind of filter it just a bit so that so that, you know, it's it's feelings about things that are.

Craig (12:52.375)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (13:00.077)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (13:07.189)
Controllable on our front so the community credits or what we've come up with long ago I had a team of people think tank if you will and You know, I throw ideas at them and we talk about how it might work Well, we have a gameplay team within the company now, so it isn't just me or just two of us So this is this is basically our gameplay team sitting together, which now I've got you on so you've got the actual

Craig (13:09.292)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (13:33.442)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (13:35.253)
player aspect of the gameplay in mind. And so you and I can present ideas that they aren't always like the same. I come at things from a slightly different viewpoint than you do. And then there's Mari. Mari comes from a whole different world. Dylan is all the creative side and he just wants everybody to get along and blah, blah, blah. It's always nice, but we have lots of conversations about how things would work best. And now it's everyone's turn.

Craig (13:37.835)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (13:43.379)
No.

Yeah.

Craig (13:57.152)
Yeah.

Rob (14:04.715)
out there in the world to we want you the players to earn community credits and the way that you do that is through different gameplay. We'll talk about that in a sec, but you earn these and then you get to vote on some different topics and we're going to rotate those topics. Everything that you see is either going to be stuff that's come from conversations you and I have had with players live at events or

Craig (14:06.092)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (14:14.86)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (14:27.071)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Rob (14:28.977)
online or wherever or stuff that's come through the water cooler, know, suggestions that have been sent in. but basically it's stuff that we've already got sort of a base outline for. And rather than us just continuing to crank out a bunch of stuff that everybody goes, yeah, this is lame. we want to know what everybody thinks. And we want to, we want to prioritize projects that, people are excited about. So that's the.

Craig (14:35.34)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (14:42.007)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (14:46.443)
Yeah. Yeah.

Mm.

Mm hmm. What? No, that's it's perfect. It makes perfect sense. What I really enjoy about it too, Rob, is it actually gives everyone who is actively involved in the community credit stuff as well, little bit of an insight as to what may be coming up in the future. Now, you always said as well, this may whatever voted for, etc. may come up, it may not like this, we still have to have disclaimer there saying that these may or may not happen.

Rob (14:56.895)
That's a really long overview. My apologies.

Craig (15:23.147)
But it will shape the ideas of what's to come in regards to gameplay and Munzee gameplay. What the players want. You know, do the players want more of A, which is like, you know, scatters or do they want more tree houses and skylines? Do they want more distances here or do they want more sit on your backside at home and cap Munzees? You know what mean? Or they want the more physical side or the more virtual side. All these things we're going to talk about.

Rob (15:47.305)
Would you like to have 10 more nomads added? Would you like to have, you know, we're gonna have a lot of different ways to set this up and some of it will be polls like we've done for this first one and others might be just, you know, specific, yeah, that kind of thing. Like for example, are we gonna ask questions like, would you like for this thing to be free or paid for? We're not going to ask that question. I mean, that should be

Craig (15:51.093)
Yeah, all the stuff.

Craig (15:58.42)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Craig (16:04.117)
Yes or no?

Craig (16:13.835)
Ha

Rob (16:17.191)
pretty easy. Does that mean that everything that we're talking about is going to be something that everyone pays for? Absolutely not. You know, we, we work hard to try and balance, you know, Hey, let's give stuff to premium players. Hey, let's give stuff to everyone. Hey, you know, here's here, here are some things in order to keep the business running so that we can keep playing the game, you know, for pay. So, yeah, I think we've seen some, we've seen some good feedback already, both,

Craig (16:27.425)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Yeah.

Craig (16:35.713)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (16:43.979)
Hmm. Yeah.

Rob (16:46.003)
through people using community credits and also through, you know, just the conversation on our Facebook post and the water cooler. There's always going to be differing opinions and we know that and that's, that is great. And that's what a community is all about. So the initial community credits, the very first ones that were given out were given out to premium players. So all premium players got 20. So

Craig (16:48.193)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (16:54.796)
Mm-hmm.

Always. Yeah. Yep. Yep.

Craig (17:10.711)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (17:14.273)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (17:14.815)
Thank you for supporting the game. All of them got 20. A good number of them use those. We also, I gave some to Z crew members. So in order to be a Z crew member, you have to be a premium player. So you already got 20. You got some additional for being a Z crew member because you have gone above and beyond. And then there are two other groups that were delivered some retroactive ones. And those are the people who had already attended the special Halloween.

Craig (17:18.189)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (17:22.131)
He

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. Yep.

Craig (17:33.613)
Hmm.

Craig (17:39.863)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (17:44.871)
events. You got a group of credits based on how many events you'd been to if it was one, two, or three. And finally, plan wars. If you had already received your rewards for level one, two, or three before noon on Tuesday, then those were delivered retroactive. As we're recording this, I have not finished delivering level one, two, and three

Craig (17:45.918)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (17:53.367)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (17:57.73)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (18:05.602)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (18:14.803)
So you and I do not have level one and two, but those are happening as soon as we finish this. Anyway, that's the people that started it off. Yep.

Craig (18:17.569)
Yeah.

Mm-hmm. Yep.

That's really cool, that's really cool. So basically there's five ways in future to, before we start with that, how do you look at it, how do you find it? It is in the Camp Hub. What is the Camp Hub? Well, if you're on the main map screen, you click on Cappy, top left hand corner. If you don't have him in the top left hand corner, I suggest you do, but if you don't, that's okay, it's up to you, the way you play. You get to, if you get into Cappy, you go into the Camp Hub itself. Once you're in the Camp Hub.

On the tree on the left hand side, you will see that one thing of the calendar has moved up slightly to allow for a little yellow mailbox. That little yellow mailbox will then, everything on the camp up is clickable. You click on that little yellow mailbox and it goes into what we're talking about and how to use the community credits. Yes, Rob.

Rob (19:08.903)
it's a bird house but it's close it's similar to a mailbox but it actually has a little birdie on it and a little hole because it's a bird house anyway yeah sorry I just you know someone Sam Sam's gonna tell us so I figure it's a bird house

Craig (19:10.449)
it's a birdhouse. close enough. That's a birdhouse. I didn't, I didn't. Anyway, that little yellow box. Sam's going to tell us because Sam's wanted to put it there. So thank you, Sam. I know, I know. I read his blog. Yeah. So you click on that and it goes into the community credits from there. Now.

Rob (19:27.017)
Actually, that's true. Yeah.

Ha ha ha

Craig (19:34.542)
whatever you're looking at, you will see a little question mark in a circle next to what the name of it is. If you click on that question mark, it will tell you more information about what it is. you're not just voting blindly for names. You're not voting blindly for, you know, a purple thing or red thing or blue thing. No, click on the question marks and it will tell you what it's about, for instance, as well. Like in this last one, a lot of them are saying, you know, what does that do? What does that do?

Well, if you click on it, it tells you what it does. So that's the way you do it. Meanwhile, there's five ways to earn these community credits moving forward from here. Number one is in clan wars. Number two is in October special events. In other words, the events that you go to whereby you go to the Halloween ones, the Halloween events. There'll be, they are, they're pink on the calendar. look really cool. Some daily Z-ops will have them in as well.

Rob (20:19.563)
They're pink on the calendar.

Craig (20:27.477)
The Munzee monthly videos. Yes. I'll be handing them out. If you, a, a, a person who puts in a Munzee monthly video every single month, then you'll get some for that too. And also the garden of the month winners too. So, and not just the winners, but the people who place or deploy in the winning gardens, you get them as well. So you don't just get the, the badges for it. You actually get some credits for it as well. So that doesn't entice people, Rob, to go through, especially the gardens of the month and have a look and so start to fill them up.

Rob (20:40.479)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (20:56.727)
start to fill up these gardens of the month coming up in a few months and have a look at which ones do you like and think you know what I haven't have got one in there yet I do like it that could be a possible winner I'm gonna put a just one you know you need to put one no more yeah well anymore just one that's all you need so there you go

Rob (21:07.253)
Just one.

We also had a a little surprise that is going on with this on launch. There's a chance and it's it's a decent chance when you capture a little that you might also earn some community credits to use. So that's a way that every single player has the opportunity to do that. And that's starting now that when we launched it, that was already live.

Craig (21:15.468)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (21:20.717)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (21:25.549)
Mmm.

Craig (21:33.771)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Rob (21:37.867)
I don't remember if I've seen anyone that's posted that yet. Weird. was a and smaller print underneath just like a, Hey, there might be a whittle surprise, but so anyway, I don't, I don't think, I don't think many people read the blog as thoroughly. Yeah. So yeah.

Craig (21:39.187)
It was no and it's not it wasn't in the blog at all. So that's a that's a little secret one.

Yeah.

Craig (21:51.79)
is that all set a little surprise? I missed it. No, no, no, all read it all the way through. With this as well, Rob, you can hold anywhere up to say, for instance, like at the moment, you can hold up to a hundred stars in your little star wallet. This one here, you can hold up a thousand credits in your credit wallet. Basically at any one time, you can't go above that. So, you know, use it as you see fit, or you can, you know, keep them. You don't have to use the 20 plus to the yet. Now you can keep them in.

You know, until you want to actually really vote for something to come through that you really think, wow, I'm really excited about that. I want that one in. So that's the thing. first lot of voting Rob has already been, ready. It's going, it's live as we speak. Now we'll quickly go through these. We talking about the credit potion. If you have a look at again, the question mark next to it, you earn more credits from things like, you know, jewels and you in jewel shards or things like that too. then there's a cap on booster like a normal booster.

Cap on points, so when you decide that your Munzees are gonna get capped, at like events, cards, then you can activate a cap on booster. This one was one of the players' ideas, Rob, this cap on booster, I remember. Then there is a target magnet events, and that magnets that target specific bounces. For instance, know, the magnet event would be for, you know, I call them gem heads, Rob. What do they call it? Funfinity. Funfinity ones.

Rob (23:01.717)
Yeah.

Rob (23:17.003)
Funfin87. Yeah. Yeah.

Craig (23:18.721)
Funfinity stones, things like that too. So if we've got something going on with Funfinity stones or whatever the actual bounces are at the time that you may need points for, then there's target magnet events. There's that one. Or Rob, there's the virtual auto capture booster, also known as the VAC. So basically this one here is like a vacuum cleaner with a 500 foot radius that sucks up everything in its path. Everything, like a tornado, Rob. Everything. POIs.

Rob (23:45.991)
every virtual thing. That is true.

Craig (23:48.566)
Every, every virtual thing, every, not physical, virtual thing. So we're talking POIs, we're wishing worlds, we're talking scatters, we're talking everything, Rob. So that's, that's the ones we're talking about.

Rob (23:57.216)
Yeah.

So, know, mean, players have conversations about like, well, I like this, but I want to know more before I vote. the trouble with that is we're not giving you more before you vote, not on these four things, at least we've given you the information that we have. part of the reason behind that is because we haven't built these things yet. You know, like we're actually asking the question early in the stage of would you like for us to work on this? And that is true for

Craig (24:19.351)
Mm.

Rob (24:29.611)
three of these for a fourth one, we may have put a little bit more work into it. and, and you know, then something's already happened with that one. It was so popular that we've removed it from the, the voting, the vac, the virtual app auto capture. Yes, it is. It is located at the bottom and says locked and

Craig (24:44.877)
Yeah, we've locked it. You've locked it. You haven't removed it. Yeah, it's locked. Locked. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Rob (24:55.747)
our internal conversations is basically like declaring it an instant win. The voting was so overwhelming for the vac that it is moving forward into the process of let's do this. So that's very exciting. Personally, it was my favorite. We all kind of championed one or two of these. and, and everyone should know this one was my

Craig (25:03.276)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (25:12.663)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Rob (25:23.211)
I'm not the one who came up with it. I'm not the like I'm not claiming that I'm saying I believe in this one and I had very strong feeling that the players would like it so anyway More details will come out about these things as we as we progress as we start to build We'll do some testing of them. So So anyway, there's no guarantee that these will happen like this is happening first. This is happening second There's also no guarantee that it happens within

Craig (25:36.418)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (25:40.13)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (25:48.651)
Yep, nope.

Rob (25:51.975)
A month, a week, 40 days, a thousand hours. this is a this is a list of the players would like it. We will put other things out in between launching some of these things. I'm trying to give us all the disclaimers. I'm basically reading the fine print right now. I might not. I'm going to stop with all of that because there could be a lot more. But we hope that everyone's excited about the community credits. We as a team are because this is us looking for feedback from you on some.

Craig (25:52.919)
Yeah.

Craig (25:56.672)
You

Craig (26:00.321)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (26:04.481)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (26:20.941)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (26:21.631)
some things that we think would be a good, good gameplay. And like I said, we may, if one of these wins, we may then break it down into, now answer another question specifically about the vac, you know, like would you like it to this blah, blah, blah, blah. And then everyone can help us, you know, define it further. Yeah, yeah.

Craig (26:34.581)
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Craig (26:41.707)
Yeah. Mold it into what it's going to be. one more thing before we move on, Rob, and that is, will say the Munzee team in terms of the amount of, Munzee employees there are is more than just one, two or three. And why I said that for is this, there has been a talk, Rob saying, why can't you make sure this, the app is more stable or the, you know, the, the play is quicker. You know what I mean? Like in terms of the captures are quicker. I'll let everyone know now.

There are people whose sole job is to do that. We're not talking about those things, you know.

Rob (27:12.427)
specifically for people that run everything on the tech side.

Craig (27:16.829)
everything for people. That's all they do. They don't talk about what we're talking about now. They don't talk about gameplay stuff. They don't know anything about the, you know, the magnet events and the capture boosters and what they know about it because it's happening. But they, they, they, their sole job is to work on that. there are, we don't negate Rob is what I'm saying. We're not negating the fact is that yeah, yeah, absolutely. As you get higher in this game, in terms of the points, Munzee does slow down slightly. We know that, but that's being worked on. That's being worked on like.

Rob (27:45.707)
You and I both know. Yes, it is. Because we're those people too. Yeah, that's it.

Craig (27:46.846)
actively been worked on by four people. Why? Why Rob? Because you and I, you and I are going up and it happens to us as well. Exactly. So I'll just, I'll just leave it that and just say, look, absolutely. This is for the fun, for the gameplay stuff. This is to keep Munzee alive and fresh and moving forward. moving on Rob.

Rob (28:08.809)
the six monkeys that run the ideas feed these ideas into the four people who do the work. Thank you, Sam. Yeah. us about this other thing that came out because we do have one more thing and then we've got to finish it up. So what else? What's the new thing?

Craig (28:20.491)
We do have one more thing. Yeah, exactly. The new, the brand new, and this would normally be a big thing, Rob. The new brand new secret Z-Ops is out now as well. Operation Boodunit. I like this one. Operation Boodunit. As like every other secret Z-Op that's been out there, it's 1500 Zs in app. There's no time limit to it either. There's a cool mech at the end called the, can I say what's his name? Yeah. The Bootler. The Bootler, like a butler.

Rob (28:27.573)
Right?

Rob (28:44.789)
Yeah, that's fine. Hey, boo. Yeah. What Dylan man? Yeah.

Craig (28:48.513)
But the boo as in, in scary, a scary butler. like it too. I know, I know 18 cogs to rebuild this one as well. so it like getting it all out there that from the past, you know, 18 cogs to read all the secret stuff. That's right. This is actually how they work. don't forget, if you are grabbing this as well, as I said, the get in app, you open up all of them in each one or one at a time. Doesn't matter. As long as you're in that particular stage, like stage one, stage two, stage three.

Rob (29:00.895)
All the secret zops, this is how they work. Yep.

Craig (29:17.549)
All them are actually working at the time. Didn't matter. It doesn't matter with the open it or not. So in that particular stage. So yeah. And as I said, no time limit as well to finish this one and you can have more than one running at a time. So if you've already got one now, that's okay. Keep it running and, uh, grabbing this new one as well. So that's the way that works. All right, Rob, moving on now to the question of the week. And the question of the week is. This actually came from Facebook from, uh, yeah, today. And that is.

Hasn't the VAC been running since April 1st of 2024?

Rob (29:50.443)
Only if you believe everything that you read on April 1st every year. You know, sometimes Munzee is a bunch of fools. So we've run special April fools jokes that eventually make it into the game. Don't they? This is this kind of we, this is not the first time that's for sure. So yeah, yeah. So tricked you. we had a hope and a plan that this might be something one day. So

Craig (29:54.507)
Craig (30:07.149)
That's done before.

Craig (30:19.469)
18 months. I know, I know. All right, moving on to the Munzee tip of the week. This one is from me and I've been utilizing this in the last couple of days and that is using magnets on electrics. And I'm talking about at the time at the moment when it's double magnet, what do call it? Rewards. double, double magnet strength. in other words,

Rob (30:19.883)
Here we are, what? 18 months later? like, jeez! It's crazy, isn't it?

Rob (30:45.045)
drink the adesia.

Craig (30:48.141)
you use your magnets, and this refers to the eels, Rob. Oh, look at that, what? We had the eels like last month and all of sudden now we're showing you how to use them properly. What am I doing? What am I talking about? Well, the best thing about this, Rob, is that you use your magnet on an electric. You cap the electric as I said before, and then you cap the three scatters off the electric before you cap the electric again. That's the way to get the best points out of it. But why I'm telling you to do this on double magnets is...

Rob (30:54.203)
Whaaat? What?

Craig (31:13.855)
You get eight instead of four, which means you have eight times the chance, you ready for this, of winning your magnet back from a magnetist. look at that. So you get, it's, that's right. That's the hook. That's the hook. That's the one.

Rob (31:22.535)
I mean, it's the tip right at the very end. That's the hook. That's it. The hope that you get a magnetist and get a magnet back. Wow. Can you imagine the endless circle of magnets and points? Maybe that's what Munzee Prof has been doing. What I mean, what do know?

Craig (31:32.203)
The hope.

you

Well, it's not endless because you can only magnetize that particular electric four times in one or three times. I can't.

Rob (31:49.599)
Man, you're so much smarter than me. was man nailed it. I would have been the one going, yeah, well, what about, but nope, you've got me that time. Two electrics per eel at least. So, you know, you do have quite a few chances. Yeah. Great, great tip. Thank you.

Craig (31:56.969)
Nope, that's right, that's what it is. Yes, there's two electrics per reel, so you got two. Exactly, Mm-hmm, yes, you're welcome. All right, Rob, well that ends now in an official Munzee podcast.
