Talk:Cover stories

Are we coming up with plausible stories, or amusing stories? Or both? --Joanna

Looks like the answer is "both." --Tim P 15:05, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

I need plausible stories for why I am crossing an international border, on a bicycle to go to a random spot on a map. "Because people on the internet told me to" isn't good enough for border guards. I also need to not look like a loony, because I cross the brorder for work, and I don't want to go into the loony database. Robyn 05:28, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Really, you don't look silly until they can see you stand around in a non-notable location, looking for other people. Presumably this will seldom happen in sight of the border guards. Therefore, I would just tell them some sort of incomplete truth, like "Really, honestly, I'm just exploring - I work in your country, and I realized that I had never really seen much outside of my commute..." If you're really worried, though, you might avoid any hashes that are in sight of the border-crossing. ...Though I'm sure ON the border would qualify for some sort of achievement.
