RE: [gpsstash] New Game Called Geoto - A Geocaching Story Log
Hi Seth,
Thanks for your feedback.
Geoto is not part of the travel bugs.
Scout from http://gpsgames.org explained it this way:
The basic idea is to take a small toy action figure, invent a storyline to go with it, then release it in the wild with a log book to track its travels. Finders are encouraged to move the action figure to a new location, extend the story line using their own imaginations, and illustrate their story with uploaded digital photos.
IMPACT: THE FIRST DAY, is the premise for all Geoto life on earth.
The main story for all of the geotoian action figures starts with their mother ship entered the blue planets orbit and colliding with a large piece of space debri. The impact is causing the ship to break apart. All crew members and civilian colonies have entered their life pods. The navigational system is malfunctioning and releasing the pods at random. Their whereabouts are unknown.
at this point the story is extended by you and other players by hiding and seeking the caches at geoto.net, not geocaching.com
Thanks Tim
