Riding Game

[gsrick]

I encourage more players. During the down season for most riders, 3 to 4 of us kept the game going and I even pleaded for more players. That is not the problem. It's the boreing pace and those who like to intentionally tie it up. Everbody knows who and what I'm talking about. One of them did it at the conception of this game and is still doing it now. Look back to the start and you'll see what I'm talking about. I'm stuck on my phone so I can't post quotes easily. Bring on new players, please. They eventually get up to speed, they are not whats is killing this GAME.

OK to be clear the rules..Rules are easy...

1. Find a SIMILAR tag and reproduce the photo (as best as possible). Take the tag to a new location, get the photo and post it here.
2. Upon posting your new tag, the tagger is responsible for specifying what it is in the photo that must be reproduced. Be specific, but not so specific that no one else will be able to play because we couldn't find another pink school bus. Or choosing a new one for us to reproduce
   • Try to be generic so they can be found in other areas
3. The first person to post a found tag gets to place the next tag. If you get a tag, but somebody else posts their picture first, you lose.
4. One tag at a time within thread. File photos are NOT permitted. You gotta ride to play this game.
5. No whining There are plenty of folks here that will help you understand the rules
6. The holder of the tag determines if the tag has been duplicated and acknowledges it by posting on the thread. (Surrendering the Tag)
7. No Pre-Arranged Tag Handoffs / Linear Tag sequence
8. The motorcycle in the picture must get to the tag location under its own power (The vfr870 rule).
9. Last but not least, should the tag be soo ridiculous that no one is able to reproduce it, it can be voted down if a majority of the active participants feel necessary.
10. You don't have to say you're joining in but I think that adds to it we get to see who's out there playing!

Some ideas from a previous post certainly not limited to anything but your imaginationHere's some ideas of tags from the ADV site:
Water towers
power generation
creepy old industrial building
pier (close enough)
Urban sprawl
fire tower
watering holes
ice cream maker
observation post/one room school house
mile markers
Giant gnomes
community pools
wildlife
Lodge
museums
lawn art
Exotic animals
River crossing
Bandstands
Cabooses
Graffiti
cool old diner sign
Ambulance
tool booth photo by attendant
heavy equipment
moose crossing sign (if you get this with bike and a moose in the background we'll give an atta boy)
topiary
waterfalls
tunnels
rooftops
historical sites
police officer (a hot one even better not gender specific eh)

Ok Kent getoutthere!!!!!

PS have fun and ride safely it is just a game!!

Look at rule number one I would take that as it says,

1. Find a SIMILAR tag and reproduce the photo (as best as possible). Take the tag to a new location, get the photo and post it here.

Sounds like all in the same post to me...

I see what you mean. Where did the 48 hr.'s come from ?

[trevor]

Yes...that is the way to do it. I've 52 pics up in this thread...26 got it's and 26 new tags...and I've always put both pics up at one time...

But...I don't wait for tags to go riding...ever....
And I don't care if it's one tag an hour, a day, a week or a month...

When I am heading out, I check what the tag is...if I see it, I stop and shoot...if not, oh well.

And while it is a game, it is NOT a competition...there is no score and there is no end...

Rick, Trevor...you dudes should go for a ride or something...

I have put 6500 miles on my bike in the last 6 months in Canada! I wouldn't say that this game gets me out riding. I don't know why you guys keep saying "it's not a competition" I never said it was. And good for you not caring if there is a new tag posted before you go out. And if you don't care if it is not posted for a month than you clearly won't mind if we insist that it be posted all in one post.

[Spyder]

agreed. You should post at the same time. Won't happen again...

[trevor]

The 48hrs came from misinterpreting the 48 hr rule that if no one gets the tag, they change it.
Holy crap this is 20min of my life that I will never get back!!

Trevor...I know you ride the heck out of your bike...

I am just trying to understand this...

You guys can call me an ahole all you want but I'm with Rick either this speeds up or I am out of here too.

Now I would never call you an @hole....but I don't get the I am out of here thing...

[Baatfam]

Holy crap this is 20min of my life that I will never get back!!

Well yes....LOL...lucky I am at work...

[trevor]

Well yes....LOL...lucky I am at work...

That's funny Baatfam!! I'm glad we are at least laughing about this. If my wife ever saw me doing this she would clearly tell me "To get a life".

[gsrick]

I don't whine, I rant and if you haven't noticed, I haven't been playing. Anybody doing the whineing are the ones who have come out of winter hibernation all cranky and stiff and slowed the game to a crawl. I wasn't here when the game started, but I did read it before I played. So don't give me a load of crap about how it's played. Others complained about the slow pace back when it started. Amazingly it's the same ones slowing it down again.

I'll get it after work today. Was going to ride but it was a balmy 48 degrees. Too cold for me on a 32 mile trek to work.

You need to get some good gear, son....48º is a perfectly good riding temp...

The Fennimore Rally is in October and when we talk you into going, you're going to need it...

[QUOTE=trevor;1653788]

Oh ok Garth sorry. Why don't we start with the question..
Should both tags have to be posted at the same time?

Yes...

48 is down right balmy! Talk about whinning. Come on Spyder, quit being a girl!! Oh that will get them ranting!

[7981GS]

You DO ride with: gloves, jacket, riding pants and boots... Right?














No heated gear used by me... yet.
