linkI've recently discovered something called Geocaching, which exists irl as well as online. In brief, it's a club activity that revolves around finding caches using clues and gps coordinates, recording them, and sometimes exchanging small items left behind in the caches.
It occurred to me while reading about it that we have all the tools in-game to do something similar. We have gps, we have a large island that encourages exploring, and we can leave short messages and dig caches of relatively unimportant items. We also have signposts, not just to mark roads but a whole bunch of random ones scattered all over the map. In fact, I've sometimes come across skullposts with gps coords written on them [there's a bunch in Durham] and wondered why they were there, so maybe someone is already Geocaching.
It has a thematic similarity to the treasure maps mechanic, as well as Fester Shinetop's famous treasure hunt. It's like a contest, except there's no real prizes involved, and it'd be ongoing. And it's competitive, but non-combat, which I personally find appealing.
If there's any interest in the idea we can consider forming a clan and figuring out how it might all work.
