November 9th is Chaos Never Dies Day. Pay attention here - this is not the usual day for this month's event! I wanted to create a little chaos for you all - ha ha! Seriously, events and election day made this schedule change necessary. Now, if you've never attended one of these pow-wows, there's no chaos involved unless you've created it for yourself. Then again, who knows what kind of chaos will be unleashed based on events of the day before...
Last month, a couple people asked about creating puzzle caches. If anyone would like to address this question or share some tips, your information would be well received by all.
Now, for the boiler plate stuff.
If you've got a puzzle or mystery cache that's currently got you stumped and you'd like to pick some brains, this event is for you! Zombies are not welcome here though, so please leave your pets at home. Each month we have a different focus, which can range from a short tutorial on some aspect of puzzle solving, to small group solving, to the whole clowder or intrigue working on a large collaboration. Sometimes it's a purely social get-together. You don't have to work on puzzles to enjoy this gathering. But if you want to, you'll have plenty of others willing to dig in with you, or maybe find that someone has already solved a similar puzzle or seen the technique in use. We continue to see successes at each of these events, and lots of smiles at the end of the evening.
This event is open to all cachers, no matter what your statistics say or whether you even like puzzles.
For the puzzle junkies, bring your puzzle paraphenalia - cache listings, laptop or tablet, theories, worksheets, (sp)eye glasses, scratch paper (don’t forget your writing instrument) - you never know who will show up, and what kind of help you might encounter. Maybe you’ve recently cracked a tough one and want to see the wheels spinning while others tackle it - that can be loads of fun! If you have a topic you'd like to learn more about, or have a specific puzzle you'd like to have the group focus on at future gatherings, feel free to make note of it in your logs.
