Craig (00:01.047)
Welcome to the Official Munzee Podcast.

Rob (00:03.436)
I'm Rob, also known as Coach V, your host and the president of Munzee.

Craig (00:07.093)
And I'm Craig Olsen and see my shell I started out as an avid Munzee player now proudly part of the team.

Rob (00:12.268)
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 (00:18.713)
So sit back, relax. Today's episode, we're Earth Day resorts, gardens, bonus events in May and, and, and, konnichiwa to all our Japanese players. Am I saying that right? Well, you wouldn't know, but Sarah, Sarah and PJ, Sarah and PJ, am I saying that right? Let me know. So, konnichiwa to our Japanese players. And we're to discuss something happening with our Japanese players very, very soon, Rob. But meanwhile, what have you been up to, buddy? You got your hoodie on again? What?

Rob (00:29.416)
I have absolutely no idea. But howdy!

Rob (00:43.814)
man. I got my hoodie on because I'm back home in the UK. man. Yeah, skies are gray. Lovely. Everything is great. Temperatures are much lower. Since we love about talking about the weather. But you know, but it does make it where I feel comfortable getting out, capping some munchies and went for a nice long greenie walk yesterday. And yeah, so just

Craig (01:04.535)
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Nice.

Rob (01:13.122)
Just back home gathering normal points as opposed to, you know, my Florida points. Yeah.

Craig (01:17.359)
Oh, smash fest, Florida points, smash fest. Exactly. Well, I'm, I'm, I'm currently at good old sweet home, Alabama, sweet home, Alabama. I don't think I'm saying that right. But anyway, with the banjo is playing in the background anyway. Um, Rob, I've been going up and down the highways here in, uh, in Alabama itself. And I'll say this, thank you to everyone out there and you know who you are and there's more than one, there's more than two, there's even more.

Rob (01:25.878)
Well...

Don't don't don't don't. Yep.

Craig (01:47.343)
There are several players, several players out there who support me. I wake up, Rob, every morning with brand new cards in and around me, like exactly almost on my van some of the times. But it gets even better, Rob, because the other day I was driving down the highway, the main highway coming straight down Alabama from north to south. And I've got the app on itself, you know what I mean? And I'm capping the resorts and whatever else as well. And all of a sudden,

Rob (01:48.909)
Well...

Rob (01:59.298)
Ha ha ha, aren't you so lucky!

Craig (02:16.857)
things started popping up like a mile ahead of me with zero caps. The virtual started popping up a mile ahead. Someone had found out where I was and how I was traveling and was literally placing them on the highway as I was popping down the road. And you know who you are. I'm not gonna say it because, know, I don't wanna put you in the wrong position with Rob. So I'm not gonna say who it was, but I'll just say.

Rob (02:32.237)
He he.

Rob (02:39.895)
Exactly.

Craig (02:40.821)
You know who you are and I appreciate it and very much so. And I got excited over it, Rob. You think about it. Someone is actually live deploying as I'm traveling. That's pretty clever. That's pretty clever. Exactly. Yes. Yes. Yeah, we do. We really do. And I will say high end stalking as well. Like it is high end stalking.

Rob (02:51.771)
How very, very nice of them. We have nice players out there, that's what I can tell you.

Rob (03:02.19)
That is what it's actually called. Yes.

Craig (03:04.078)
Knowing my exact location as I'm traveling down the highway, which is really, really cool. Meanwhile, Rob, you're you're back at home finally after your hit of Florida. And I will say that the little banter between you and I when it comes to the points, et cetera, as well. Last week, you were 6.6 million ahead of me. Now you're 6.5 million ahead of me. I've gained back 100,000 over the last week. So if you're listening along, that's what's happening at the moment with Rob and I.

Rob (03:27.566)
Craig (03:34.573)
There may or may not be something coming out in the next month or two in regards to Robin Eyes little back and forth. My catch up of the man to be number one. There may be. The catch up, the catch up from the newest team member to the proudest team member. Exactly. So Rob.

Rob (03:43.939)
there may. There may. That's for sure.

Rob (03:54.638)
Wow, there you go. Good choices.

Craig (03:59.041)
Rob, you're currently on 86 million points and I'm on currently 79.5 million points. That's our total points. And again, if you want to follow us, follow along. Make sure you use us as friends on the Munzee app and you can see exactly our progression as I catch Rob slowly but surely catch and run him down as he tires out with these events. But anyway, speaking of events, we only had the one in USA last weekend was in Illinois.

Rob (04:23.043)
Yep.

Craig (04:27.599)
and one around the world was in England and that was all it was. But the leaderboards themselves, Friday we had Colecracker7 with 212,000 points. Utilitymanjoe, that's a new name. Utilitymanjoe. Oh. Yeah, 205,000 points. Well done, Joe. I'm taking it to mail. And then T72.

Rob (04:42.626)
an old name that is new to the leaderboard. I'm impressed. Way to go, Joe.

Craig (04:53.473)
Again, a new name to the podcast, T72 with 187,000 points. Good job for you in third place, Saturday Rob.

Rob (05:00.142)
Herbie with 328,000, NZ Kiwi 249,000, and Jack Sparrow 224,000.

Craig (05:08.143)
And then on Sunday we had Stewie Griffin on 371,000, what's a good name, Stewie Griffin. 371,000 points and then one of my favorite names to say, Jaroslav Kas on 232,000 points. And in third place again, Colecracker7, 211,000 points. I've noticed with Colecracker, I did actually do, because I've got her as a friend on my list as well and I have looked, she averages out around the 200,000 point mark every single day.

It can be done not just with caps, but cap ons and deploys as well. If you want to really up your game when it comes to Munzee, really do look out to these large players, enlarge, I large points players and see what they do, see what they deploy, see where they deploy, know, see that sort of thing. How they actually play the game is very, different in total. Meanwhile, Rob, we have events coming up this weekend. You can say USA this time because you know the extra acronyms.

Rob (06:06.766)
Okay, I can do that. It is Minnesota, California, and North Carolina.

Craig (06:07.343)
Exactly and around the world we have Norway and then Rob I had someone reach out to me from Osaka Japan Sarah from the Munzee Maniacs podcast reached out and said Craig can you discuss more about the Osaka Japan and what they're doing over there what they're actually doing Rob is they've got these new new families coming along who have never played the game before and they're doing they're playing Munzee

Rob (06:18.221)
Hey!

Craig (06:35.681)
like a tutorial. So they're actually doing live tutorials with them itself. Now, as a little added bonus, I'll say it as a bonus as well. It's been, when I say bonus, it's been a long time in the making. And that is there is a brand new Japanese translation in the app itself as well that they can use now at the event to encourage those new players so they don't have to speak English to play the game of Munzee. So well done to...

Rob (06:47.928)
Thank you.

Craig (07:01.571)
to Sarah and the team and also the Munzee team as well for developing that program, that translation app that can now run through. So hopefully, Rob, that keeps the Munzee contingent happy and content for a little while. We'll soon see. So exactly. It is.

Rob (07:17.08)
Yeah. I mean, that's, that's a great new tool and it's perfect timing for this big event that's coming up. And yeah, I look forward to hearing from them about how the event goes and hopefully a good luck to them. Bring, bring in lots of new players. They'd be great.

Craig (07:23.15)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Exactly.

Craig (07:32.757)
Exactly, and if you haven't deployed your cards yet for this over the weekend deploy cards for the weekend especially in the the Saka Japan one because even though there only says like three four or five Will attends there's gonna be much more than that because of the the family They download the app as they play basically just before they play when they get to the event So they can't log they will attend yet, but there's gonna be a lot more people there at that Japan one All right, Robert big events around the world as well coming up.

I think this may be the last time we're going to talk about this one. May 2nd, 3rd and 4th, we have four big events in Uranus. There's 33 attending Uranus now at the moment, which is really cool to see, including you and I, Rob, as well. I'll be picking you up. You're going to be in my van. So what I'm going to say to people, and that is those people who deploy cards for me, you still can. It just means that Rob is going to collect them as well. So that's okay. double the Cap on points.

Rob (08:15.832)
I know, I'm excited.

Rob (08:24.32)
You're welcome people, double the cap on points.

Craig (08:28.879)
That's cool. Next up after that we have May 24th, Munstock. Now this is growing very, very nicely, Rob. This is almost, it's up to 43 already. It's almost a mega already before we even start, which is awesome to see. Again, if you're coming along to Geo Woodstock in West Virginia, make sure you attend Munstock as well. Some new Munsey gardens are there as well, Rob. if you want to, if you can't turn up, if you're in Australia, the UK River and you can't come to Munstock.

Rob (08:37.613)
Hey.

Rob (08:51.342)
True.

Craig (08:57.519)
then have a look at these new gardens available in the freeze tag store that you can purchase pins. There's only a couple left. There's not many left.

Rob (09:03.5)
Yes, only a couple in round one of what was out there that it's been in the store for a while now several months actually. So I hear that there might be some new ones coming soon. So I don't know if it'll be by the time this podcast goes live or not, but see

Craig (09:06.191)
Craig (09:18.499)
but keep an eye out for it, keep an eye out for it, exactly. June 7th and 8th is Ohio hosting SOS. June 7th and 8th as well is five events on the south coast of England. July 11 to 13, four big events in Western New York, the Munzee Marathon. The same weekend you have five events in the Netherlands. September 12 to 14, four events over three days of Munzee Mania in Minnesota and then rounding off for January 16 to 18 Munzee Mecca in Florida. And don't forget if you have a big event, reach out to me.

on any of my social medias or you can even email me, seemichelle at freeze tag.com. So there you go. I know right, freeze tag.com, I got a freeze tag email. that's cool. All right Rob, what's happening this week so far? We can say there's a few things that have already been released themselves and one of those things, actually before we talk about it, I wanna talk about this first. I just said before, I've been coming up and down the highway here in Alabama.

Rob (09:54.061)
Ooh.

Rob (09:59.502)
Woo woo!

Craig (10:17.175)
And I'm looking at some of these resorts. There's, they're a level three resort. Now level three resorts, if you're new, a level three resort, you can get rooms in it, but only, there's only 15 rooms available. There was level three resorts, Rob, that I clicked and capped my level three resort, but I ended up getting room 13 and there was over 150 caps on it, but I still got room 13. How did that work, Rob? Is there a glitch in the system? What's going on?

Rob (10:45.326)
It's a mystery. No, we've been doing some cleanup operations in the background. There's this thing that's supposed to happen to inactive accounts. And that thing is that the virtual deploys are supposed to be removed from the map. if it's a normal type of deploy put back into the undeployed list, if it's a virtual resort room,

Craig (10:46.689)
Yeah.

Craig (10:52.729)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (10:58.361)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (11:09.199)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (11:12.936)
or a motel room or a hotel room that can't go back into the deploy into the undeployed list because you know that it's just not how it works. However, our system has not been working for a while to get rid of those. So over the last I think it's been about three weeks, we've been archiving all of those inactive player account, virtual resort rooms, motel rooms, hotel rooms. So that's why you

Craig (11:14.404)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (11:28.212)
Craig (11:31.588)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (11:40.431)
Rob (11:41.62)
And I, as I was traveling down through Florida, I was picking up some of those as well. Yeah, those are showing up. So they're available for everyone. We've got a filter in the app so you can open up the filter and see where you are. If all of a sudden new motel hotel and resort rooms have shown.

Craig (11:43.695)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (11:47.715)
Yeah.

Craig (11:53.689)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (12:02.543)
So it's like an eviction. They've evicted the inactive players and dormant players. They're all gone. They've been evicted, Rob. It's good to see evictions. geez. No, no, no. Anyway, yeah, so that's the reason for it, Rob. So it isn't a glitch. It isn't a problem with the system. It is actually happening in the background now. So have a look around your area.

Rob (12:08.814)
eviction. That's a great word. that gives me an idea.

Craig (12:26.861)
That's what I'm gonna say. That's my first tip for today. Look around your area and there may be new resorts that have popped up and there is a reason for it and that's because there's now rooms available. So go and collect those rooms ASAP. Because if you didn't know, again, if you're a new player, then you collect a room in a resort, especially resorts. They're there for the whole time. As soon as you get that resort, that room, you've got that room. Anyone else caps that resort as they drive past or as they're capping through, you get cap on points because you own a room.

and that is for life. So that's what you get for life on Cap On Points for those rooms that you get. So that's really cool. All right, Rob, we're gonna move on now to the things that came out this week already before the podcast. And one of it was the Earth Day came back in and the Earth Day packs came back in on Tuesday, Rob. Tell us more about these Earth Day packs.

Rob (13:14.562)
very true Earth Day comes around once a year and we like to celebrate it in Munzee because you know, we're mostly about getting out walking, you know, that kind of stuff and taking care of the environment is part of what we should be doing while we're doing it. Yeah, so so we put the Earth Day pack back in which includes there is a recyclops pack, which is the re Cyclops skin that goes on the Cyclops you have to upgrade Cyclops.

Craig (13:17.763)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (13:36.067)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (13:42.948)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (13:44.328)
And we talked about this last week. That there were going to be, you know, some things and hey, everybody pay attention, be ready, get your recyclops out there in advance. And so by the time people are listening this week, it's too late. Because everything will have ended but but yeah, the the recyclops skin is not free. It is an option when you have purchased the recyclops pack.

Craig (13:46.393)
Yeah.

Craig (13:52.365)
Mm-hmm. Yep.

Craig (14:06.884)
Craig (14:12.111)
no, no I didn't.

Rob (14:12.174)
We didn't necessarily make that super clear last week and that has turned into an issue or two or not an issue a question or two So apologies for not making that clear last week But yeah, the packs themselves and and the entire earth they sail that we've got going on it runs through May 1st So everyone still has the chance to take advantage of that. So if you have not ever

Craig (14:21.687)
Yes, yes.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (14:31.051)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Still have time. Yeah.

Rob (14:40.334)
purchase the Recyclops skin, still have a chance in order to have it to make it active next year because Earth Day will come around again.

Craig (14:46.721)
Right, right. Yes, every single year. That was my fault, Rob, because I upgraded my Cyclops with the upgrade credit and the skin was available to me and I put my ReCyclops skin on it. But that means, it only means that I would have purchased it last year or the year before or whatever it was in the past, rather than, because I did have a couple of people reach out to me saying, I upgraded, Craig, but I still don't have the skin. What's going on? I messaged them back saying, I don't know.

I said to him, put in a support ticket because I didn't know. You see, so yeah, that's what it is. So I do apologize to those people out there who I pushed in the wrong direction, Rob. So, but either way, it's always good to upgrade your bounces where you can. So I'll say that. That's always a good thing. All right, so yeah, get your Earth Day packs now because they're gonna be available until May the 1st only. And as Rob just said, every single year they're gonna come out. So that's pretty cool.

Rob (15:16.995)
Yeah.

Rob (15:25.816)
Yeah.

Craig (15:41.015)
Meanwhile, Rob, we've also been announced as well. The Gardens of the Month have been the winners for the Gardens of the Month for April have been announced. These were pretty cool. These were pretty cool. A big shout out. First one is in Denmark by Jokey and it was a prank gum. Now, if you haven't seen these, have a look in your notifications where you see the blog post and you'll see the actual, the,

Rob (15:48.398)
Woohoo! Yeah.

Craig (16:03.693)
the prank gum what it looks like. It is actually like the chewing gum prank where you, as you pull it out and you get snapped in your hand or whatever it is. Or in this case, I think it was a spider that came out. The spider jumps out at you as well. there's a shock. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

Rob (16:11.34)
Yeah. A spider jumps out. Yeah. There's a shock. There's a shock that happens sometimes that there's different, different forms of the prank gum. but yeah, the, formation of this garden was actually really cool looking like a pack of gum. says gum on it so that it's very clear. There's a spider on the stick of gum. Yeah. It was, it was good use. there's also a couple of electric, mysteries on the side. So that, you know, could imply the electric.

Craig (16:21.153)
Exactly.

Craig (16:24.865)
Mm-hmm. Yes. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Craig (16:37.582)
Yes.

Rob (16:40.632)
portion of the joke. yeah, it was a good one.

Craig (16:41.567)
Exactly, Yeah, yeah. And the second one as well was the Whoopi Cushion in Pennsylvania by Grub Snug. Yeah, again, a classic Rob. A Whoopi Cushion is a classic prank. Let's be honest, it really is. And I'll be honest with you Rob as well, every time I hear a flatulence being released from a certain person, it doesn't matter who it is, I still get a laugh, I still get a giggle. My 14 year old inner boy comes out, so I don't have to be.

Rob (17:02.862)
the

Craig (17:10.913)
in a place that we're going to next week to week after to laugh about that. But anyway, yeah, there will be cushion very, very cool. Yes.

Rob (17:14.51)
Tis true. This one was cool because it wasn't just like, hey, here's a pink circle that that is a whoopee cushion. It actually has the little bursts of gas coming out with, you know, little air mysteries inside to show like this. Yeah, it was good. It's very creative. And yeah, these two stood out, you know, from from the choices that we had. So well done.

Craig (17:21.929)
No. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

Craig (17:42.595)
Yes. I mean, there was, there was a lot of choices to be had in regards to this as well. And it is good. The more choices than the better, I'll be honest as well, but a little hidden tip. that is if, if you can, if you can make these mostly, when I say mostly, I'm talking probably, you know, 90, 95 % of the time, if you can make them with the virtual colors and the reason for that is number one, you can get the look really well, opposed to, you know, saying, uh, using everything else, especially any mysteries. Cause you got the

different color question mark in the middle or the zodiacs for instance, they're different colors again. Just the color, virtual color mysteries, virtual colors by themselves is good because they are a plain color and they look good. And there's so many different color varieties available. That's number one. Number two, they're blastable, which means that...

People are going to place these virtuals in there and then when people go past if they don't have time they'll try and cap them as many by hand as they can but if they don't have time guess what they'll go BAM and use a blast and get rid of all of them all in one go. Therefore then they get points the the deployers get points as well for the cap on points so no one misses out Rob. So I like I like the virtual colors in gardens I will say that so what are your thoughts on that mate? You agree?

Rob (18:59.626)
there with you. certainly makes getting an entire garden much easier if it's something that is blastable.

Craig (19:05.752)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (19:09.493)
Exactly. Also before we move on from gardens of the month, will say Rob and that is if you have your, if you have a garden, if you have a garden that's totally full, it has a garden POI, which means more than 50 pins and it is ready to go and you haven't placed it on cuppa Z yet, place it on cuppa Z. People go, why should I place it on cuppa Z? It's already full. No, place it on cuppa Z because cuppa Z is where we look at the gardens for gardens of the month.

you may have a garden that is a perfect fit for something coming up for a month coming up, an absolute perfect fit. All you need to do is once you place it on Cup of Z, make sure you add the tag itself, the hashtag or the whatever the code is and it will pop up as well. Again, if you have any problems with this, reach out to me. I'm very helpful with all the garden stuff as well. So I have access Rob. I've got more access than you Rob when it comes to Cup of Z gardens. I'll just say that. So there we go.

Rob (20:04.28)
Hmm, somehow I doubt that. However, speaking of a perfect fit for gardens, upcoming gardens, we discussed the August Garden of the Month requirements recently on the podcast that has turned into an update which was in the blog. So everyone can actually read it. I'll let you know that we've updated the August Garden of the Month requirement. The theme is still MVPs.

Craig (20:06.095)
Hahaha! Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Craig (20:13.967)
yeah.

Craig (20:21.741)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Craig (20:30.255)
Yep.

Rob (20:32.25)
and MVP standing for most valuable player, at least in most uses of the word. So August theme. Now I'm switching it up to say that it's going to revolve around the world of sport. MVPs are often found at the highest levels of sporting competitions. We'd like to see how our MVP garden builders translate this into gardens around the world. So there you go, everyone.

Craig (20:35.823)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (20:45.976)
Right.

Yes.

Craig (20:55.801)
There you have it. You've got plenty of time. August is coming up. Plenty of time to do that. Exactly right. Before Rob, I think the question came about was, it sounded like we were going to use previous winners to get more winners. It's like, how can winners be winners again? You know, that's the thing. So now the theme has changed. MVP is still the theme, but it's more around sporting and sporting activities.

You know, yeah, straight out of the Bat-Rob, I can see a basketball, for instance, a nice easy basketball with the orange and then the black stripe. Easy, they're easy to do. Again, if you want to do a garden, you've never done a garden before and you feel like, you know, it's a lot of work and whatever, reach out to me and you can add me as a co-creator, so to speak, in terms of just an editor, not a co-creator. You are the sole creator still, but you can add me as an editor to help you and assist you as well.

I'm putting it out there again, Rob. I've assisted several players in the past. It has gone quiet, I will say, so I'm happy. I've got time on my hands again to do that. So there you go. If you haven't done it and you really wish to do it, then reach out to me and go from there. Meanwhile, Rob, what's coming on after this podcast goes live? Something's happening today as a podcast goes live.

Rob (21:52.162)
There you go.

Rob (22:08.289)
I don't know. I guess the question would be if people are feeling lucky.

Craig (22:12.309)
you gotta be.

Craig (22:18.063)
okay.

Rob (22:21.004)
Yeah, there's, there's just going to be something to do with luck that's happening today. So if you've listened into the late middle of this podcast, then you have a little heads up that something about your luck, will it change? Is it going to be good? Or, you know, does it stay like it has been?

Craig (22:36.207)
Hmm, yeah.

So something could be the same as what it was before, but slightly different. We'll just say that as well. yeah, same, same, but different, Rob. Meanwhile, as I saying before, Rob, in regards to Cup of Z, we're gonna spruce Cup of Z just a little bit more with Sam, because he listens to this podcast every single, as soon as it comes out, he listens, Rob. This is.

Rob (22:44.206)
Interesting.

Rob (22:57.88)
Just be right. Whatever you're about to say, just be right.

Craig (23:00.491)
It won't be right either way. It won't be right because I'll always get a message from Sam. I look forward to a message from Sam. I got a message from Sam Rob because I forgot or I spelt something wrong in the description of the podcast. So like he looks at everything. He looks at the translation. He looks at description. He looks everything and really does. He goes through it. So using Cuppa Z and why I say using Cuppa Z is we're talking before about like points, progressions. And I wasn't just talking about Rob and I and our little ding dong battle, you know, that sort of thing as well.

Rob (23:11.416)
Hmm.

Craig (23:28.385)
you may have a ding-dong battle for yourself or you have something that you want to help as well. Go to points progression in Coupa Z. You can have you see your own points progression and then watch others as well, your friends and family and see their lines of attack as well and see how, see their graph and how their graph goes. Now to give you an example of the graph, I will be posting this on my social media very, very soon in regards to mine and Rob's and you'll see how Rob, you started off.

you know, quite nicely in an easy steady run and then slowly you're increasing due to points inflation as well. You'll see me, Rob, you'll see me have a non-existent start to begin with and then all of a sudden skyrocket over the last two years. Absolutely skyrocket. So yes, and you'll see the difference in the game play I feel as well. So points progression using Coupa Z. Meanwhile, Rob, another thing has just come out as well, which is the bonus events for May. They've just come out. So in other words, if you want to look at

Rob (24:09.499)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Craig (24:25.667)
You different May events that are coming out and what you want to get and what you want to deploy, et cetera. What's coming up in May, the bonus events.

Rob (24:33.056)
Well, let's see, May 2nd through 4th, we've got double points for everyone on cards, flats, zodiacs, and mysteries.

Craig (24:39.151)
Craig (24:43.467)
I did see on the actual, on the post that came out as well, it doesn't say, it says flats in the word flats. It says cards, flats, zodiacs and mysteries, but the flat they use is the flat Aussie. So what I'm saying that for is sometimes you may see different things like, you know, the flat Aussie, for instance, you know, there may be a reason for that down the road. So I'll say this and I'll say this now. Take that on board.

Rob (24:56.494)
Yeah.

Craig (25:08.431)
If you don't have flat Aussies get your flat Aussies get them out there get them out for people as well because there may be something coming on down the road that these hidden Easter eggs that happens all the time Rob I'll say that so There you go

Rob (25:19.47)
All right, mate, just had chill out, man. All right, here we go. May 5th through 9th, there's going to be something else going on and that is double neck deploys and that's for everyone. So five cogs for a spider bot that's going to get you two spider bots. That's right. From May 5th through 9th. Excellent.

Craig (25:26.955)
Yes.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Craig (25:37.113)
Two spider bots. Nice, nice. Everyone loves the double mech deploys. Everyone loves double mech deploys. I know I do as well.

Rob (25:47.948)
Hey, I wonder if, my gosh, we should freak out because the clan requirements are-

Craig (25:54.797)
No, no.

Rob (25:57.27)
HAHAHAHA

Craig (26:02.511)
I that was gonna happen. didn't want to say it just in case you'd forgotten, but no, you don't forget these things. So clan requirements, everyone out there do not freak out about clan requirements. There's a reason Rob does the clan requirements the way he does, Meanwhile, then May 23rd to 25th, again, it's double points for everyone as well on cards, flats, colors, jewels, and gaming as well.

Rob (26:10.52)
Get ready, everyone.

Craig (26:30.105)
So that'll be double points on May 23rd to 25th, which is still the end of Clan Wars. So you don't have to get to level six of Clan Wars in the first week of Clan Wars, number one, you can't, but still. Try, try. When I say, when I do my tips, my tips are for myself as well. I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try and really level myself out for next month and not go hard in beginning.

Rob (26:40.11)
What are you talking about? Of course everyone does. That's crazy talk. It's going to be fun.

Rob (26:52.315)
yeah, absolutely.

Craig (26:59.383)
and then easy in the end. I'm gonna try and just keep it level as much as I can. It's harder when you're traveling, you it is what, because you can only get what you can get. There's some days, Rob, I can't get a POY at all. You know what I mean? So it's hard that way when you're traveling. So, but yeah, there we go. They're the May events as well. Meanwhile, Rob, we're gonna come out now to the Munzee Question of the Week. This question of week comes from another big, big player in the Munzee world. When I say big player in the Munzee world, you can have a look at how big this player is. He is not number one.

But who knows, he's lucky, maybe number one in coming years to come because he's up there as well. And that is Vadotech, Vadotech, a really nice guy, Mike, love you, mate. His question of week is for Rob. He says, I'm a hoarder and I like cards. I'm also a bit obsessive and I like to keep groupings of my cards by type or release sequence. Is there a way we can set up categories for cards?

such that I can group them like the Tarot card series, the Easter related series, the season series, et cetera, et cetera. This way I can go to a grouping deploy cards of a particular theme and I have not have to hurt by numbers or by names or hunt them by numbers or names, Rob. So firstly, VadoTech, you're saying you're a hoarder, which is one of the things that Rob dislikes. So Rob, Rob, what are you gonna say in regards to this?

Rob (28:23.182)
wouldn't say that I just say that in relation to the game of Munzee hoarding credits and deploys and all that kind of thing. I definitely work to try and make those people. Break down their nests a bit more so orders in life. Hey whatever you be you thank you for your admission though. Mike, it was probably tough to put out there to the whole world anyway. Nope.

Craig (28:34.211)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (28:39.225)
Yes,

Craig (28:49.839)
Yeah.

Rob (28:52.97)
There you go. There's the answer. Is there a way possibly in the future? I'm certain that Sam could figure it out. Is that on the top of the priority list? No, is not. I totally get what you're saying because I've got all of the Christmas mailbox cards and I agree. It'd be cool to put all of them in one place, but they're in alphabetical order. And I don't want to scroll through all that stuff or or better yet, they're in numerical order based on how many you have.

Craig (28:55.001)
Sayenna.

Craig (29:03.489)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Craig (29:09.646)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (29:14.009)
Yeah.

Rob (29:21.294)
depending on which tool you're using. So sorry, Mike, it's a no for now, but there's always the future.

Craig (29:21.962)
Mmm. Yep.

for now. Exactly, exactly. Meanwhile, Mike and Vatotech come out with a tip of the week as well. Now this tip of the week, is, it's an exceptional tip of the week, I will say that, and it is a quality one, so listen very, very carefully, and that is, if you're going to events, check, now I'm gonna say this for Sam, check your curate status. Check your actual crate status and,

have a plan for that. What that means is the event pins themselves, because they're physical, they count towards your actual numbers to pick up before your crates. So if you've got 50, for instance, event pins, and you don't have any blue mysteries, greenies, physical rums in between, then you may open your crate and get your cubamole out there as well, cubamole, and you won't be able to get another crate out of a...

a vent pin, you see, but you have to actually get the physical or a greeny or a blue mystery or a physical rum in order to get the next crate going. So what that means is try and have a plan for it. This is his idea. Try and have a plan for it and don't waste. He calls it wasting physical captures on your next crate. He says, now keep this in mind. He says in setting up an event, if you're setting up an event,

it's nice to have at least a few greenies near the event or perhaps a few around the event pin course. This way people can get crates started during the events. But remember, always deploy the greenies or mysteries before you deploy the event pin or you won't be able to deploy the greenie because it's too close to the event pin. So if that's if you've got the event pins proximity removed, deploy your own.

Craig (31:15.523)
greenies and physicals first before the event pins. The event pins can go over the top, greenies can't go over the top of the event pins. So that's our way that works. Good tip, Rob, good tip.

Rob (31:24.61)
That is the voice of an experienced hoarder. I mean, deployer. I mean, seriously, that's an excellent tips right there. And I'm sure lots of people have been caught, you know, with, man, opened their crate after 10 event pens. And then as, as he said, they just go along, they get the other 40 and that's 40 caps that could have been opening the next.

Craig (31:27.853)
Mm-hmm. It is. It is.

Craig (31:39.577)
Yeah.

Craig (31:43.279)
Yeah.

40.

Perhaps.

Rob (31:52.206)
Crete which gives you a magnet or a cube molar or whatever. Yeah, so well done Mike great advice on all points there. Well done.

Craig (31:53.497)
Yeah. Good job, mate. Yeah.

Well done. And again, if you've got a tip of the week, just like Mike as well, email me or send me a message. He just sent it through the Munzee app. It's easy. I open the Munzee app several times a day. So I'm always looking and I'm one of those people that I hate the red numbers. I hate the notifications on my phone. I do not have any numbers on my phone. I make sure I get rid of them straight away. I read them. So yeah, send me a Munzee message in the Munzee app. Rob, otherwise that ends another official Munzee podcast.

Rob (32:14.446)
Hehehehe

Rob (32:30.456)
