November 2012 Hits: Cooperative County Challenge

This will be far different that last time, as there will be no prizes, no winners, no losers, no entry fee, all may participate.

Simply, we will collectively try to fill in as much of the map as we can...just post up your county hits.

In order to eliminate any form of competition whatsoever, there will be no standings page, you can keep track of your own if you want to. The map will be colored in as counties are hit...a different color for whatever month the county was hit in - the color will not indicate WHO got the hit.

This way there is just cooperation, no competition....nothing to create possible bad feelings.

My original intent with this, last year...was simply to bring more people to the forums more frequently and try to build a little community. The competition aspects made this effort backfire, and I regret that.

Hopefully, this way, there will be no bad feelings, cooperation over competition...and we can try to build something together.

All who wish to participate may do so...those who do not wish to participate....that is your choice, you are welcome to participate. Please post links to the hits.

As before, we will have a map and a spreadsheet, so that one may see which counties have already been hit....but nothing on the map or spreadsheet will indicate WHO got the hit...thus competition is totally eliminated...and, along with it....any reason for bad feelings.

Please specify any hits for October or previous months, thanks.

Spreadsheet Link...................Link to Full Size Map
Spreadsheet current thru Racine County, Wisconsin thru 11/8/12.
Map is colored in up thru Racine, WI (11/08). Next Map update will be around 11/30/12.
Currently, we need hits in all territories/military areas except PR, DC and AE.
We have achieved over 26% county coverage so far!! We are two counties away from a full West Coast Bingo.

I've been waiting on this one for awhile ...

Walworth county WI

Me, I can't wait to see if we manage 1000 Counties this year. We are getting close!!

Next year we will do it again, and all counties will be able to be claimed...but there will be white and grey spots on the map. white ones are ones hit in 2012 but not yet in 2013...grey will be never-hit yet...at least as far as this contest is concerned.

This way we can find out how long it takes us to go coast to coast...and, better yet, to fill in the whole map!! Good luck anyone getting Manassas Park City, VA or Loving County, Texas though!

Can't BELIEVE this one is still available!!
Chesapeake City, Virginia
