We started this last fall, and after some hiccups came up with essentially your game, but on a week long timeline. It allowed more people to play and get shots without worrying about being beat, especially with the differing schedules. Some people would want to play but it'd be 10 images different by the time the weekend came around and they could ride. We'd vote on the winner of it and they'd pick the next challenge. It required someone babysitting the thread and counting votes but it seemed to work well.

I'm not really bothered, just found it odd. I had to go out of my way to find those tunnels and I found a lot of new nice cruise roads I didn't know about before. That's the whole point of these kind of games to me anyway.  I wasn't ballsy enough to put the bike in the tunnel. It was nothing but tracks in there and those lines are very active. It's surprising how quiet trains are when they're coming towards you. Edit:Definitely can't be arsed to get a picture of a laundromat tho. Someone else is welcome to win that one. Olde Weird Tip posted:I actually didnt mean to, but I was driving for work today, realized I was going past two tunnels, popped the GoPro on and took a small detour. I assumed since everyone was saying they couldnt do it that I picked something too difficult. It definitely was a clusterfuck at first but we worked out a rule system that seemed to work. I've lost the thread to the archives though. nsaP fucked around with this message at 21:59 on Mar 14, 2012 |

I still think you shouldn't be allowed to comment on the rules unless you have a picture in the thread. (looking at you, marv  )Eh...it's whatever...we need something that lets people participate. Maybe two games even. We moved to the week long challenge last year after stupid arguments like this. At the end of the week we'd vote the winner and they'd pick the next challenge. I like those, as I don't like worrying about if I've been beaten with picture and it was "wasted". I also like seeing other's interpretation of the challenge. On the other hand, I like the game that moves quickly as well. Picture wise, that is. Multiple posts about what you would take a shot in front of are boring, take the picture. What we don't need is a lot of bull clogging up the picture thread. I think we should figure this out or just go with what we have. Enough time was wasted debating it already.

  You used to be able to fish in the second one, and people would exercise around that reservoir and a hidden one around a corner. Then the terrorists took away all of our freedoms and they put that fence up to stop the terrorists from fishing or jogging. The story at the time was they were worried about the water being poisoned but I think a t-rist can lob something 20 yards. aaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway..... New Challenge: Your bike with a bridgeScenic shots or cool bridges preferred, but keeping the game rolling is more preferred.

I liked your first challenge....all the firetrucks live inside here. Maybe I can get lucky and catch em washing one. Edit: Nevermind just thought of a way to get a firetruck out  I'll put this here even tho it changed to fire truck.

It's cool, i found wanda. Show me your bike and an old church. I'm on my mobile, ill update with sirens later.edit: Update a bit. As long as I can remember this woman has been walking thru town. I'm not sure what her deal is but (aside from the last few days) she's like clockwork, always walking. Her name isn't really Wanda but someone called her that back in high school and it stuck. I think at one point there was even a highschool band called "The Walking Wandas"...and doing a bit of soundclick searching it seems that their page is still up lol http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=57980 Godspeed Wanda, Godspeed. nsaP fucked around with this message at 00:35 on Apr 17, 2012 |

I didn't really elaborate but I should have said that "old church" is very relative. What would be old where I live someone in Europe might say was "cute and contemporary". But if I do have to bitch (and I always do) slidebite posted:yay I tried to pick an easier challenge to keep it going since we stalled for a few days, and you go off and choose this? Hah, I could be wrong but I think we might be waiting a bit again. At the same time it excites me a bit, because by the end of the season I want to be solo bike camping and so I'd like to get this shot myself....eventually. Starting first with some group car camping next weekend, by the mid summer I'd like to ride while friends are with me in a car, and as I said, solo bike camping by the end of the season. edit: er...erd...kinda missed your last sentence, I guess that makes it easier.

I forgot the 'close' part... i was trying to avoid cows and horses but i found some close to the road. I don't know if that's what 'close' meant tho. If i would have remembered the wording of the challenge i woulda stopped and asked this farmer. I passed him talking with someone at the end of his driveway, holding onto a cow on a leash. I withheld making a new challenge cause i don't think i was 'very near'.

It's exactly why I really dropped the ball when I passed that farmer...Cow on a leash in the driveway! I would have been golden. I was just hoping to find someone with something a bit more interesting the cow or horse. Even a longhorn...
