+slimey Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) Okay, I know we don't get to influence anything, but... In 200 words or less, state why you think that you'd be a great reviewer. For the purposes of this (and to allow some creative responses), forget rules from above. I would make an ideal new reviewer for the UK because...

+The Blorenges Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I would make an ideal reviewer for the UK because... I've already prepared a selection of Reviewer's notes that I would happily add to the bottom of cache submissions as necessary, e.g. "This cache page is rather boring. Couldn't you add a bit of information about the history/background of this area?" "Are you SURE you can't put a bigger cache out in this spot?" "PLEASE! - No more caches hidden in ivy will be published until January 2010". Oh... and I'd have a special purple script for crossing out and underlining all spelling mistakes and poor grammar, which I would use to mark the bottom of unsuitable submissions with the words "4/10 - Must try harder."

fraggle69 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Because I'd archive all the dross, ignore all the rules and put lives at risk. I think that pretty much about covers it, oh exept I'd let all my caching buddies know of the FTF's available before I publish them, oh and I'd let them all have the soloutions to puzzles lol. I'd ban the inocent from the forums and have their acounts locked down, or does that already happen , could be a perk of the job that 'un! Do I get the job?? Didn't think so! Quote Link to comment

Izzy and the Lizard King Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Women Reviewers? I love the idea! Yes, your cache is accepted. On second thoughts I'm not too sure. No, it isn't! Hang on, did you say it was hidden in ivy(a girl's name) OK. What? It's not near shops? Definitely, No. But it's near holly(a girl's name) well that's better. OK. It's camo'd green? Forget it! It's got a bottle of Body Shop Dewberry 'Huile de Parfum' as a FTF prize? Oh Yes! It'll be published the day after I've checked it's in place. P Quote Link to comment

+kewfriend Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Can you say yes to at least ten of the following questions? I sleep with my PDA in alarm mode so that I can awake as soon as a new cache is declared within 150 miles of my given residence? I have never placed a micro cache. I fully understand the ovoid issues in the algorithm to convert OS Coordinates into WGS84 Coordinates If I find dog poo near a cache I always use my pooperscooper to collect the afore mentioned material and I take it home for recycling I can always find a geocache without the clue I know that the 'pointy thing' does not refer to the sharp end of a pencil My friends think geocaching is a perfectly normal activity for any intelligent man and woman to be doing between 2am and 3am I have a store of geopresents with which to restock sad caches that are empty In my kitchen I have a chart showing the size of all Aldis Tupperware Containers Numbers matter I have a full set of cache icons on my profile you are appointed Quote Link to comment
+purple_pineapple Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Can you say yes to at least ten of the following questions?
