Craig (00:01.178)
Welcome to the official Munzee podcast

Rob (00:04.97)
I'm Rob, also known as Coach V, your host and the president of Munzee. Hey.

Craig (00:09.377)
And I'm Craig also known as Seemyshell. I started as an avid Munzey player, now proudly part of the team.

Rob (00:14.72)
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 (00:21.286)
So sit back, relax. Today, multi, multi millionaires all week long, along with pumpkins coming out, munzee, monthy moments, geo, geo what? Garden of the month and other things as well. Other gardens, we can talk about gardens a fair bit in this one. I saw that.

Rob (00:27.8)
Wow.

Rob (00:40.456)
Easy for you to say as you went through there. You know what? You seem to be talking a little more slow, little laid back. What's the reason for that? Anything specific about flowing it down and you know?

Craig (00:42.427)
Mm-hmm.

Hmm.

Craig (00:49.02)
Yeah. Well, well, maybe, maybe the fact that I actually had a sleep last night in a real bed, when I say a real bed, like a bed in a hotel room in the heart of Texas.

Rob (01:06.542)
interesting. So you're in Austin. wait, no, it's not the official heart of Texas, just, know, deep and deep in the heart of Texas. In other words, hey, everybody, we're coming to you. And it's actually both of us. We're coming to you from Texas. man, I'm excited about that. Woo. Yeah. Yeah. Howdy, folks. All the things man back in Texas, the land of MHQ for booze and brews. That's what I'm here for. BOO.

Craig (01:16.517)
Yeah.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Craig (01:33.378)
Yes. Yes. Absolutely. Yes. Booze as in like scary booze. Exactly. we might jump straight into it. What do you say? Because we've got lots and lots of things to talk about today. I didn't realize how much we actually had until I looked at it. Hang on a second. That's right. That's right. All right. In USA last weekend, who we had Missouri, Indiana, California, Minnesota, New Jersey and two in Alabama and around the world, Rob, we had.

Rob (01:39.885)
Yeah.

Rob (01:48.152)

Craig (02:14.044)
Now the leaderboards, this is going to be an entire week now of leaderboards because of the millionaires. Predominantly, the first millionaire on Wednesday last week was Munzee Prof with 1.1 million and Schmitz Fan 4 with 1 million. Thursday millionaires, had Schnickers 71 with 1.2 million and Munzee Prof again 1.1 million. So you can kind of tell like he's, he knows what he's doing. This Munzee Prof, he's been working the magnets, he's been working the

Rob (02:37.73)
He's been working it. Yeah.

Craig (02:42.844)

Craig (03:11.772)
I've got to correct your group. It's Ms. YB. It's not Ms. YB. It's Ms. There's no I. That's all right. Cole Cracker will get up here otherwise. So just to let you know that she's listening and she said you're going to have to call out Ms. YB on the podcast. So Ms. YB, well done. I met both Ms. YB and Cole Cracker 7 at the event in Alabama along with the former

Rob (03:15.266)
Ms. Webby. My bad.

Rob (03:25.676)
Mizz wibby.

Craig (03:34.364)

Rob (03:39.895)
Okay.

Rob (04:01.326)
Wow. On Monday we had Schmitz Fam 4 with 1.1 million and Munzee Prof with 1.1 million. And then Tuesday our millionaires finishing it off for up to date now. Toxin 1.3 million and NZQE 1 million. Wow.

Craig (04:08.132)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (04:19.309)
That's exactly right. Yeah, another two millionaires on the Tuesday as well. every single day we've had millionaires for an entire week. mean, when does that happen? I don't know. But anyway, the events this weekend coming up, we have four in Texas, the heart of the good old US of A. We have one in Massachusetts, one in Missouri, and one in California. Around the world, Rob, we have.

Rob (04:37.601)
Yee-haw!

Rob (04:42.924)
We've got Finland, Denmark, Germany, UK, and Victoria, Australia.

Craig (04:47.949)
And of course, the big events is this Friday, as you listen to the podcast, as it goes live, the October 24th booze and brews with MHQ in McKinney here in Texas, along with two more Munzey Mischief events, mini Munzey Mischief events, Rob, on the Saturday and one on the Sunday as well. If you can get to Texas, Rob, I'm telling people now, there may be something happening in Texas at these events that no one in the rest of the world is going to know about until these events occur. So if you can get to Texas this weekend.

get to Texas this weekend. there you go.

Rob (05:19.65)
Yep, a local trial run. We might call it. Yeah, yeah.

Craig (05:23.867)
December 7th, Rob Newmarket England 30 odd there as well. January 9 to 11 North Netherlands three events for FRLK's birthday. January 16 to 18 Munzee Mecca in Florida that one's growing slowly. And then March 6 and 7 Munzee Madness up in Minnesota, followed by, no sorry, no, I'm getting a little confused. That one's in California and then.

Rob (05:45.1)
No.

Craig (05:51.748)
September 18 to 20, that's the Munzee Mania in Minnesota. So there you go. All right, Rob, moving on now to the developments this week, because there has been a few and look at that. We raced through that actually lot quicker than what I thought we would. Yeah, know. First and foremost, Rob, what's happened this week in the world of Munzee?

Rob (06:04.312)
Good. We should. We do have lots of info.

Rob (06:12.777)
Well, let's kick it off with what happened on Monday. Monday, a Whittle Pumpkin was released. That's right. We let a Whittle Pumpkin out into the world and lots of players excited about that, which was good. You can get yours for $10 in our online store and then don't forget it comes out as a level 10 Whittle. So that means that you can re-release that one.

Craig (06:19.289)
Mm-mm.

Craig (06:35.876)
Hmm.

Rob (06:40.046)
with 25 stars at the wishing well. So be sure that you get out there and do your daily stroll with Cappy so that you can re release this whittle pumpkin for you know what we will call free. All it takes is your chasing of the daily stars. So that's not too bad. There's one more thing about this little pumpkin it scatters with for players.

Craig (06:48.655)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (06:57.275)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (07:07.995)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (07:09.646)
who cap it. So it's got the extra little fun piece and this is a great month to cap those scatters because on what is it? Tuesdays and Saturdays, uh, scatters are double points. So Tuesdays and Fridays or Tuesdays and Saturdays. Anyway, it's on the blog. It's written everywhere. Please check there. Sorry. I, I, I lost my mind for a sec.

Craig (07:11.245)
You try.

Craig (07:20.771)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

You just, you just reminded me, Rob, you're right. Then you just reminded talking about scatters and talking about the double points, et cetera, as well. I did get a message this morning. I woke up to a message this morning from someone who was extremely excited because they, they said they worked it out, but really they just listened to the podcast a few weeks ago. And that was.

That was the electric traps. You say, remember we spoke about the electric traps with the eels and stuff as well. Well, they utilize Rob, they utilized the double magnets session along with a double points booster, along with double points on scatters for that day. They did that on one electric eel. So you remember you can only magnetize three times per day for Munzee HQ day. They did that on one electric eel.

Rob (07:57.058)
Yeah. Yeah.

Rob (08:02.306)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (08:07.971)
yeah, that's big points. You and I both know that.

Craig (08:22.638)
and got just over 20,000 points just doing on one electric hill, Rob. So yeah, it's easy to do. See, so if, all I say is that people are saying about their, clan wars this month, et cetera, that points are a little bit higher than what they normally are and whatnot as well. I mean, and this is on a random Tuesday, Rob. This isn't on like a, you know, double or triple point week and then you have to be at an event and get all the cards. No, this is someone playing on their couch.

Rob (08:26.636)
No way. Wow.

Rob (08:49.25)
Wow.

Craig (08:51.354)
with an electric eel out the front of their house because that's where they placed it because they're smart. See, so that's what I mean. Yeah, they've worked it out.

Rob (08:53.846)
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that we, we recommended things like that, for the electrocute you and I, when we were talking about it, you know, that was the kind of information that we put out. So it's nice to know that some people out there listen to the tips and tricks and, know, just the things that you and I say and whether they read it because, you know, everyone there's a transcript for all the words that we're saying.

Craig (09:04.164)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (09:08.922)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (09:13.489)
Yeah.

Craig (09:21.956)
Yeah, I know. Have you? Yes.

Rob (09:23.438)
There's a transcript out there. So if you're like, but there's not one in our language, you can take the transcript and you can get that one translated so that you can just read through the things that we're saying, which if people aren't reading the blog, then why would they read the transcript of you and I sitting in chat? I understand that's unlikely. However,

Craig (09:38.651)
Hmm. I know. Have you, have you actually, have you actually read that transcript? I tried to read it a few days ago now and I'm like, hang on. I can't understand myself. I can't understand you properly. The text, the text is correct what they're saying, but there's no inflection in our voices. You don't hear when we're joking about things. You don't hear when, know, there's it's so it's like getting a text message from your best friend and think that they hate you because you know, they did something different. It's there's no inflection. There's no, there's no way to know.

Rob (10:03.822)
Yeah, the tone tone is difficult to be interpreted, I suppose. And everyone knows that whenever you send messages, written messages, they can be tweaked in your head as to how are you feeling when you read that or whatever it may be. So yeah, if you're reading transcripts, and that's it, Sam, or various others, then, you know, just

Craig (10:09.797)
Mmm.

Yes.

Craig (10:22.8)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Craig (10:30.606)
Hahaha!

Rob (10:33.72)
Just keep in mind, keep in mind there's various pieces that that just hearing us say it might be a little different. So apologies that that's only in English when we do speak, but you don't want us trying. I don't either.

Craig (10:41.201)
next

Yes. Yeah. But we, don't know any other language, unfortunately. that's here we go. Moving on, Rob, we talked about the Munzee monthly moments for October. I was surprised with this. Well, I looked it up yesterday before writing up the, the notes as well. There's only 14 entries so far for the Munzee monthly moments. And we've to, only got a week left. Week left. That's it for 14 entries. This is unheard of. It's very, very easy. This one, all it is, is, is camping or showing a physical Munzee.

Rob (11:02.318)
Well.

Craig (11:11.836)
In a place where it's a bit scary because it's October. And I thought it's October. There's scary places everywhere. And if you can explain yourself to Rob, mean, you might think, I don't know, you might think a brewery scary or whatever else as well, because sort of whatever reason tell us you think the brewery scary and here's the Munzee. That's what it's not that hard to do. You don't have to do the ghosts and all that sort of thing. So.

Rob (11:14.446)
Okay.

Rob (11:25.198)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (11:30.796)
Yeah.

Rob (11:34.83)
thought just ran through my mind. I'll run it by you of, you know, what I might do. Um, but it's going to involve me actually taking the video and then putting it out on, um, like YouTube as a short or whatever. But if I'm capping a physical and you just happen to be nearby and I'm like, you know, Ooh, look, here's my physical. Ah, that's scary. There's a scary see my shell nearby. mean, does that qualify?

Craig (11:39.389)
Craig (11:43.8)
Wow. Wow.

Hmm.

Craig (11:53.967)
Yeah.

And, yeah, it does because you should be scared of me because I'm now over 12 million points ahead of you.

Rob (12:01.554)
Number one. Yeah. Yep. Terrified of the lead that you have and whether or not I'll ever be able to come back on it. Yeah. That's true.

Craig (12:06.46)
Just FYI, Rob, I looked this morning, it grew by 2 million points this month so far. humble brag, humble brag. But no, the more we get, Rob, again, you don't know this because you don't have anything to do with this. You're too busy. The more people, the more entries we get, more prizes I can give out too. So come on, everyone, get your phones out and get the Munzee Monthly Moments video done as well for us and YouTube and TikTok. Yes.

Rob (12:17.729)
Indeed.

Rob (12:26.136)
True.

Rob (12:33.09)
Hey, and don't forget, this is going to be the first month where you get to give community credits as part of the Munzee Monthly Moments video as well. community credits are going to be out there if you've been looking for more, our, the, know, it's, it's almost time for what's going to be next in the voting grounds. Did I say too much?

Craig (12:40.515)
the community credits.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (12:55.426)
Well then, yeah, exactly. Well, speaking of community credits, what are we talking about with community credits? Look at that for a segue.

Rob (13:03.852)
I mean, there's another thing that's out there that you can earn community credits from, and that's the garden of the month. And guess what? That got announced this week. So we put those two garden of the month, winners out there and, yeah, they, the people who deployed in those two gardens, got some, community credits as part of the reward for that. So, I mean, there's lots of different ways that,

Craig (13:09.905)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (13:24.954)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (13:30.114)
You can use the rewards that you get from clam wars or daily Z ops or whatever you go to cup of Z. You look for those special gardens and all it takes is one deploy. If you choose wisely, you might get some bonus badges, bonus rewards from on occasion. Yeah. So try it.

Craig (13:34.16)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (13:44.693)
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. That's right. That's right. Also, if you were out there, because I did get a message out this week as well, there's been some nice gardens actually did pop up throughout the week. And one of which really stood out for me because it was a sea shark with a S, like a sea my shell shark basically in Minnesota. Yeah. And it was Lesh family put it out there too. So of course I had to place a couple.

Rob (14:05.268)
really?

Craig (14:11.7)
in that garden as well. It looked like really cool garden. But he asked me in regards to how does he submit it to the Garden of the Month applications, etc. etc. through Coupa Z. It's very, very easy. Whatever you think it requests requires for that particular month.

You put in the tagline in the garden. You put in the same words. So say for instance, was, I don't know, I don't know, I can't remember what, harvest, the Thanksgiving one was a harvest and host or whatever it might have been. You put those exact words in the tagline and Cuppa Z picks it up and then puts it in there itself. So that's how that works. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. So that's what you need to do. Put exactly which month it is that you want it to be a part of.

Rob (14:49.75)
magic of sans coatings.

Craig (14:57.916)
in the tagline, not the month, but the actual, the name, the tagline itself, whatever it might be, the words. Yes, those ones, exactly, that was February this year, that's right, that's right. But no, the gardens of Natharov, I love them, I think they look really cool. And yeah, put in, start deploying in more gardens. Again, if you wanna be part of the garden of the month, absolutely you can, not a problem at all, but the gardens do have specific rules.

Rob (15:04.236)
words too hot to handle, you know, whatever the theme is. Yeah. I thought I remembered one.

Craig (15:25.242)
must be 50 plus in a garden, must have a POI, the garden must be full and it must have a non-temporary ones in there. So no cards, no temporary virtuals, that sort of thing too. So no potions, know, those sort of things. So it must be completely filled at all points in time. You know, I mean, obviously, easy Rob, sometimes these gardens do get emptied, not emptied, but do get one or two Munzees missing because you have to play a...

Rob (15:41.016)
Very nice.

Craig (15:52.615)
stops playing for a long period of time, then those Munsies will go off the map and back in their account. At that point in time, it goes back into the couple of Z gardens so people can put and place more in there. But the disclaimer for everyone out there, if you're looking for gardens that have been a garden of the month in the past years, and that happens, and you put a Munsy in there, you're not going to get a badge for it. You're not going to get a badge retrospectively of it. So that doesn't happen, unfortunately. There's nothing, there's nothing we can do in regards to that.

Rob (16:15.234)
Yeah. Yeah, that's unfortunate, but no, we, we don't go back and check those things because it's a one time process where we pull those. So, so here's the deal. You said, you know, you really enjoy looking at the gardens of the month and, you're the one who starts the process for us on the team side, which is great. I think I know the reason why you enjoy looking at those gardens of the month. It's because you love building all of these gardens. You're our team builder, if you will.

Craig (16:22.146)
that's right.

Mm.

Mmm.

Craig (16:35.066)
Mmm.

Craig (16:40.772)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Rob (16:43.994)
and, earlier in, well, last week, really we had, we started having conversations about the BVGs and saying they were, they're all going to be leaving at the end of the month. they were all about to run out except for the rainbow, which we're going to keep bouncing permanently because they're on our account. anyway, I'm just using that point to lead in and here's why, because this still ties in with what we're talking about next. And that's because right now. Live.

Craig (16:51.237)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (16:55.872)
yeah.

Rob (17:13.558)
while you and I are talking and thinking, I decided I'm going to give some community credits out to the people who bought a spot in the three BVGs that we launched this week. So this is a surprise. How about some, how about some extra CCs? I'm going to give some community credits to the people who have bought these new BVG pins. So as for those of you who've bought them this week, listening,

Craig (17:24.732)
yeah. Yeah, it is.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (17:38.289)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (17:42.974)
on Friday, it happened already. Thanks for buying and surprise, you got some community credits from as well. And that thought came to me while talking. These are how thoughts hit me. You could see while you were talking, I was barely actually listening to you, which is sad that I would do that to you. Not actively listening, but instead actively working in my head something else out.

Craig (17:45.356)
Mm-hmm. Mm.

Craig (17:55.833)
I know I could, I can, I can, I could smell it from here, Rob, the thought that came through your head.

Craig (18:10.043)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (18:12.268)
And tying that in specifically because we wanted to talk about the community credits. you know, this is three different ways. And we didn't even set this up on purpose of talking about the crazy monthly moment, the garden of the month and the and the surprise, you know, attack with BVG's because community credits are something that we did launch last week. And we talked in depth about that. We had the first round of voting, the first round of voting is actually ending

Craig (18:17.968)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (18:23.695)
No

Craig (18:34.508)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Rob (18:41.452)
within hours of when this podcast goes live. We set it for Friday at noon. and, part of that was because our events are kicking off. so we wanted to be able to have conversations with people immediately after this first round had ended. as you and I sit here, we're about to go into some team planning meetings and, I don't even know the answer to this question.

Craig (18:43.152)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (18:55.01)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Craig (19:04.09)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (19:08.814)
What's your guess? Are we going to have new polls launched as we finish the current ones or as we talk in the next couple of days? Do you think that we're going to hold in the next round might launch Monday or?

Craig (19:24.892)
I think we're going to hold and I think the next round is going to be on Monday. I do believe that only for the simple reason is that, you know, we're busy enough doing a lot of other things at the moment as well. don't overload ourselves with that sort of thing, especially when the community credits are basically showing or allowing players to have their say in which direction we travel.

Rob (19:34.574)
Ha ha ha.

Craig (19:46.329)
as a company as well in what they like, what they don't like, that sort of thing as well. We have noticed Rob, there was a clear winner, an absolute clear winner from so far and that is the automatic virtual capture booster that came out. That was...

Rob (19:46.606)
Yeah.

Rob (20:01.452)
You just, is it, are you new at what this thing is called or something? You called it the automatic virtual capture, AVC, the automatic virtual capture. Can everyone feel how wrinkled up my face is as I say these words? Like what, how, how could you call it the automatic virtual capture? It's called the VAC, the virtual auto capture, but you called it the AVC, not the VAC.

Craig (20:05.82)
what's it? Yeah, what's it called?

Craig (20:11.84)
what?

Craig (20:16.314)
Yeah. Well, what what what what's what's it called? What's it called on the? Yeah, Virtual. Virtual order capture.

Rob (20:30.242)
Yeah, anyway, sorry, everyone. This like what I'm working with a newb over here. This is crazy. He lost his brain when he came to Texas. man, I'm insulting this morning. I have to get it all out right now before I meet the rest of the people and everybody gets this.

Craig (20:33.51)
You

rub rub rub rub

I noticed, yeah, yeah. I got a big shoulder so can take it. can take it. and that is Rob. I've been testing this for a little while and I know what we've called it several times, but I forgot exactly what the, we put out there on the community credits. So that's the reason why I just made something up that sounded similar in my own head. Anyway, that's a winner. That's the winner.

Rob (20:47.736)
Yeah.

Rob (20:57.966)
Yeah, man

Rob (21:05.26)
Good. All good. I totally understand. get you. Hey, so we, we pulled that one. Yeah. We pulled that one out so that people would stop using those credits on it. I don't know if you've looked, but I've pulled up the results right now of what's happening on Wednesday. And, well, let, let's go from third place. Cause there's three left third place currently targeted magnet events, which, know, it's going to be like pulling specific bouncers to.

Craig (21:12.954)
Yeah.

Craig (21:17.702)
Mm-hmm.

Oh no, Yeah.

Craig (21:27.845)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (21:34.606)
to a target to a landing pad. Then in second place, you know, is the credit potion. Okay, so that was breaking things down. And then there's the cap on booster, which you came in as sort of a champion within the team on this one, and it's winning and it's winning by, you know, more than a two to one vote over the second place right now. So just taking a guess Friday, you know, as we wrap this one up.

Craig (21:34.778)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (21:42.074)
yeah.

Craig (21:47.834)
Mm-mm.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (21:57.785)
Wow, wow, nice, nice.

Mm-hmm.

Rob (22:03.13)
I would, I would believe that the cap on booster might be the thing that's moving forward and going into a production. Let's call it fairly soon. Cause, what everyone out there doesn't know is time period for us to integrate some of these things. the cap on booster is actually one that won't take us very long to, to make live. So let's, let's see what it, let's see what happens. Everybody. thanks. Thanks for using your community credits and your guess was Monday for the next round.

Craig (22:11.759)
Yeah.

Craig (22:18.267)
That's right.

No. Yep. Yep. Yeah. Yeah.

Craig (22:31.204)
Mm-hmm. Yes.

Rob (22:33.464)
We'll see, won't we? see. We'll see. We'll see how everybody chats this week on whether we, some, we might get actually super excited about like, let's put these out. that's usually my job getting super excited and trying to gather everyone else on my side with it. Well, yeah.

Craig (22:44.048)
Ha ha ha!

I I know. I will say, I will say Rob though, with the cap on booster itself, I was championing that towards the team because it was shared with me at an event. know, it was an idea that a player reached out to me at an event and shared the idea with me. went, well, well, that's a pretty good idea. And so that's why I've pushed through to the team from there because I really enjoyed the idea of it because this game, Rob, is not all about just, I'm just going to cap everything I see and that's it.

This game is so much deeper than that. It's more thoughtful than that. So if you can actually place Munsies, if you can't get to events, et cetera, but we can place Munsies all around, you know, when the event times are, you all that sort of, know, when the, long your Cap on Booster goes for, which hasn't been decided yet. All these things have not been decided yet. So don't get your knickers in a nut. Not yet. And so yeah, all that sort of thing. So you can then organize your boosters and your time. You can actually play this game smart.

Rob (23:35.787)
Not yet.

Craig (23:45.191)
from the comfort of your home by using deploys in good locations with this Capon booster as well. So that's the reason why I thought about it. And yeah, thank you to, I can't even recall who exactly it was. It might've been, now I'm not even gonna say who it was, I'm not even gonna guess, but whoever it was, I can't recall at the moment. Thank you very much. And this is what we do and we champion it from there. All right, Rob, moving on. The three new, you said there's three new BVGs were out. Do you remember exactly what they were?

So Rob, you were saying before that there's three new BVGs out as well. Explain us the new BVGs. First and foremost though, they were delivered in different timings because of the round the world for different time zones and locations. So everyone has got a chance. Number one. Number two, we limited, we limited to one. One per person, Rob. I like that as well, mate. What's going on there?

Rob (28:36.365)
Well, conversation. we actually had, I talked with people in Minnesota and you you obviously are always getting feedback on things and we decided to make sure that anybody that wanted to have one of those, know, would would would be more likely, I guess, to get it. So the easiest way is just to drop that limit. And still, you know, in 24 hours, like if there were more

Craig (28:46.66)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (29:02.652)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (29:05.773)
Sitting there, then people had the opportunity to jump in and get that second one, which is how the previous BBGs worked. So hopefully it made more sense. Hopefully this was a way for us to spread it around so more people could be involved and get the badge and, you know, get the cap on points as they bounce around. Yeah. Excited about this one. It's cool designs. Thanks for putting those together. And, you know, a couple of still October themed and then a little bit of a, an American November theme.

Craig (29:12.367)
Yeah.

Craig (29:16.982)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Craig (29:29.275)
Mm-hmm.

That's right. So we've got three gardens in total, each garden is the same. That is 200 pins in each garden different. They look different. All three look different. They're not the same, but 200 pins in each garden, which you can hand cap without an issue. However, 200 pins means two of those black little circle bomb things as well. And don't forget. Exactly. And don't forget it. Once you capture them all, you still must capture the pin, the POI, which by the way, to

Rob (29:50.573)
Yeah, couple of bless.

Craig (30:01.468)
thousand feet for that particular pair. Why not a thousand, two thousand, or if you've got a radius booster on that's four thousand feet away. cap that as well. And you get the badges for them too. So there you go. The brand new BVGs, which leads me Rob into the question of the week and the question of the week, this is a, yeah, this came on Facebook I saw as well. And they asked how are the BVGs bouncing now? And when they're not bouncing at events, because this particular person saw one bounce around.

And it bounced upon like a single lane roadway. And it was impossible to get them all without actually having to blast as you drive past. So I did have a look. It's happened several times. I've had a couple of messages in regards to it. Where do they, automatically, they're automatically bouncing now. where do they automatically bounce to?

Rob (30:39.695)
Rob (30:49.091)
Yeah, that's that whole automated system that we have been working on in order to take this off my plate because I was happy to do it at the beginning and my my whole goal was to find locations that that we hoped or knew that players were active. And so and instead of me having to do it and make sure that they lined up with time zones so it wasn't, you know, sitting somewhere for eight hours when it was definitely an overnight.

Craig (30:51.612)
Mmm.

Craig (31:06.438)
Hmm.

Craig (31:12.486)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (31:17.187)
you know, time when most people would be sleeping. Yeah. So the automated process is looking for a few specific types, but it's also looking for activity so that so that we can get those cap on points out there so that, you know, the the game can continue and the points can continue to flow in and more people all over the world can get the badges. So they they might be jumping the wrong time zones. They might be bouncing and landing in a place where

Craig (31:18.309)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (31:29.468)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Craig (31:45.019)
Hmm.

Rob (31:46.191)
It's just not possible for you to get all of them by hand. Whenever I put them at events, I'm hand placing those. So, you know, that should be more likely. But you have no guarantees, unfortunately, in the real in the real world in the real game outside events. Yeah.

Craig (32:03.266)
Mm-hmm. Yes. Cause it's automatic. Exactly. And I thought about too, you just said, activity wise now people can read into a little bit more. What can be activity? What can be activity munchies? Well, things that can be kept daily. I'll just leave it there. You know, things like,

Rob (32:19.959)
Yeah, that's one of the options. And you're right. They could literally read into that in the transcript as we talked about with putting their own definition together. But yes, as far as activity based landing pads. Yeah.

Craig (32:25.413)
Yeah.

Craig (32:28.888)
Yeah, that's right. Activity based, that's right. The more active a Lendepad is, then the more likely or more of a chance it's going to get done. that would include.

Rob (32:40.939)
I don't know if Sam would confirm that or not, so that might be a, that might be an outside, know, ooh, that drives it to the top. I don't.

Craig (32:49.852)
Oh no, didn't mean that. The more chance you've actually got of getting one place there, not before anyone else. just, yeah, more chance that you're actually gonna get one there. So there you go. There you go.

Rob (32:54.689)
I Yeah, yeah. possibility of that. Just everybody play and hopefully they land near you. That's the goal. Please and thank you please.

Craig (33:02.576)
That's right. And enjoy the game of what it is. That's right. And I'm going to end it, Rob. I'm going to end it with a Munzee tip of the week. And it's going to talk about the BVGs again. Then this BV, this tip of the week again, Sam is going to, you know, listen and probably I'm going to get this wrong, but we'll soon see. It's talking about the notifications of the BVGs when they bounce near you. You must use Cuppa Z. Cuppa Z is the only place where you can get this done. You go into Cuppa Z. You go into settings.

Rob (33:12.676)
Wow.

Craig (33:32.893)
notifications, bouncing gardens. You can then place a distance of how far away the bouncing garden from you before you get notified. Mine, I don't know if it's just mine, but mine's in kilometers. You know, they could be in miles as well. So it all depends on what you've got to set up, whether you've got to set up for, you know, the rest of the world or America. And you can go from there. I've got mine set up at 25 kilometers, Rob. So if it's a bouncing virtual garden, bounces within 25 kilometers of me.

Cuppa Z gives me notifications of it too. that's how you set up notifications for BVGs.

Rob (34:05.667)
And it's amazing. His is like live tracking information. So you just set it and it's based on where you are, not your home location like what we have set in Munzee. I wonder if one day we will free up Munzee's app so that it does the same kind of thing. Wouldn't that be nice? And Sam might be the one to help us with that. Who knows?

Craig (34:14.0)
Yeah, yes. Yeah.

Craig (34:23.512)
Mm-hmm.

Well, here's, here's another thing you can actually change it, Rob yourself, whether it follows you around or whether it's from your home base, the 25 kilometers. So yeah, you could.

Rob (34:37.497)
Somehow that's not surprising. Thank you, Sam. Thank you, Craig, for that tip of the week. I'm not using it currently. Maybe I should, especially this weekend, because, hey, who knows? Of course you are.

Craig (34:45.276)
I am. am. Yeah, I was, I was at the event last weekend, Rob and to to be VG's bounce near me. I was the first to let everyone know a BVG is here. They go, how do you know go? Cup of Z notifications. Not that I'm like an insider, so to speak, but I get cup of Z notification. I don't know where they're gonna bounce. I'm not part of the BVG group. I use cup of Z notification. So thank you, Sam. Meanwhile, Rob, that ends another official Munzee podcast.

Rob (35:02.019)
Right. Yeah. No.

Rob (35:13.635)
Thanks for joining us on this Munzee adventure.

Craig (35:16.102)
Don't forget, subscribe, rate, review on your favorite podcasting app and join us next week for another informative episode.

Rob (35:21.387)
And remember, Bunzee is more than a game, it's a worldwide community of mobile game players.

Craig (35:25.853)
So keep scanning, keep discovering, keep that mind and spirit alive. One, two, three, BVG's for the win. okay, you went the old school, that's right.

Rob (35:30.051)
Manzian!

One day.
