Cave shenanigans...

[The Chairman]

the oldest reference in "search" for warhammer at least on the sites search engine is 2013. I'll try to google it later

This would be January 2001. I took over in November of that year, or 2002.

But this thread is about the caves, which are the reason I moved to Suwanee County a year and a half ago.

Although based on the decorations being discussed here you'd never know that.

People love to shock other people so a few shenanigans are going to be edgy, while most are just fun. For those who haven't been to Madison Blue, the cave gets quite flat and wide. If you're on backmount, it's easy to bump the ceiling as you swim through causing you to reach up and make sure your valves are always open. Then just about the time you've tired of the scenery, the bottom drops away and you are presented with a wonderful view of the chasm that is the Godzilla room. Then the search begins! If/when you find the plastic Godzilla in the Godzilla room in Madison Blue, you're supposed to take a moment and rehide it. Although it's been a while, there was also a "Mrs Godzilla" to find and rehide as well. Silly? Sure, but in the effort to find and rehide these plastic statues, you really learn that part of the cave.

I don't think it's the same thing as a glory hole... Although based on the decorations being discussed here you'd never know that.

Is that an HP133, or are you just happy to see me?

I actually thought you started SB. Didn't know you took over.

I simply kept it from dying. I've been accused of claiming I created it, but I never have. No need to lie.

Someone made it too easy when I was there, Godzilla was hanging on the line.
Damn it! It's always good to know the rules ahead of time. I must return to MB and make mends.

Not sure where the hide Godzilla rules came from. Been diving Madison since 1996, and Godzilla sat stationary on the line and was not being hidden. There is no going passage in this room, but have noticed bottom of the room showing hand prints, disturbed silt, and hand prints where there was none, and shouldn't be any.

Let's do it together! It's been too long since I've been there.

So we have conflicting rules for Madison Blue. I was a +1 for a cave class being taught there when I was told the rules. I've only been in a few times, but I've never seen it on the line. I've never touched the bottom either.

Speaking of which, does anyone else feel the lasting angst when you see a hand print in a cave? I have yet to leave one, and I shudder at the out of control feeling the diver must have had as they "signed" their presence in the cave. I would be kicking myself for the rest of my life if I did that, and would grimace every time I ever passed that spot.

Diving is supposed to be fun. I remind people to have fun as often as I can. The shenanigans in this thread are mild as compared to the shenanigans I encountered when I was on submarines.

Do tell?
