First time in the game, had time to screw around today so I figured I would ride around in 36 degee temps lookin for this:
Next tag will be up soon.
p.s. When they say "Thinsulate" concerning gloves....I think by Thinsulate , they mean GARBAGE. Throttle hand is an ice cube. Assuming I am doing this correctly, next tag will be up within 48 hours...but much sooner....

That 48 hour rule was by the originaters of the game and they played a clue type of game. They were off road and area exclusive, that had to use the clues to find the exact tag location, not a picture of a similar item like we do. This will have to be up to the other players, but if you can't post a new tag within an hour of posting the last tag, it won't count. The game goes to slow. I have the tailor tag and the next tag, so I do have an interest here. Need a consenses here guys. If no new tag within an hour, then no tag. We have top set a ruling or were going to keep going through this over and over. Thats just my opinion, but we already know Trevors and Erics take on this.
But an hour seems tight, especially if you get the current tag up through your phone while riding...you may not find a good second tag in an hour.
But I think anyone should be able to get the next tag up the same day.
If you go through this thread, most of the players put both pics up at the same time.I t's usually the new players that delay some...maybe they're nervous...
Why not just give them a chance to get in the groove...just encourage them to try for both pics while out and see where we end up.
This isn't a race...we've got all summer...
EDIT: Ha...there we go! Oil well...pretty rare in these parts...but it's cold, windy and drizzly here...Bob T. ~~ Play the GSR weekly photo game: Pic of Week Game

Eric you out there? A little help please.

*shrugs* I've been getting the tag, upload the picture, while it is uploading I'm on my way to my new tag, which I have picked out already on the ride there or have an idea of what I want. Then I take the picture, upload it and post both.
I know what I want to do for my next couple tags. I think a new tag within the hour is acceptable. Otherwise it will go slowly, especially right now with not as many people riding yet.
Edit: Rick has the same idea.
And I'm out on this tag too. We did have some oil piping and stuff that was abandoned, but they tore it down recently.

I always try to get a new tag while getting the one to look for.
I will be sitting this tag out for personal reasons.
Someone else can get it.

I think the closest oil wells to me are a days ride to the west in North Dakota. I'd enjoy doing that ride, but I don't have the time right now.

This is great that we have some "new blood" in the game it makes the tags even more interesting. It's going pretty good now (pace of game) I don't think it should be a big deal to ask everyone to post the tag and the new tag at the same time. When you are going out to get a tag just have a new tag in mind to get while you are getting the original tag. Pretty easy really. I say this because I think it would be unfair to a guy that goes out and gets both tags (old and new) only to come home and see someone got the tag but has not yet posted a new tag.
Again I'm glad to see more guys playing.

ps I don't mind tags like the oil well that are impossible to get for some guys because we have more guys playing now and I like to see pics of stuff I might not see in my part of the country and it allows me to show some things unique to my part of the country too. Nothing wrong with that.Last edited by trevor; 03-26-2012, 07:47 PM.No signature :(

The "new blood" has always been here but due to winter and us having our bikes tore down (like me) can't always get out. I hope to have mine up soon, maybe this weekend before I leave, and if so I'll try to get one from here.
Sadly though, even if the bike was running, there aren't any oil wells close by to get one.Cowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace

I am still trying for the life of me to figure out just what our southern members in Texas and California do with their bikes.
Why don't some of them partake in this game?
Nessism, Russr33, Jwhelen, etc, etc.
Just don't want to participate or do the bikes not get ridden?
We would LOVE to see those fine examples out on the roads. (Hint)
