Let's face it, AI. The photo mines aren't producing like they used to, and we need a steady stream of user's cars to fill the gap.

Therefore, in the spirit of Cycle Asylum (I say that so I can steal their idea completely) we're now doing a Riding Driving Game!

The basic idea here is to take a photo of your car completing the current challenge. Let's say Motronic won last round and wants a picture of your car getting its A/C system recharged. If you're the first to post up your Yugo all done up in A/C gauge tube porn like Motronic asked (seriously what the hell Motronic) then you get to pick the next challenge!

PRIZES!

Whomever completes the most challenges submits the funniest "challenge completion" each month gets a free av of their choosing! Or you can ask me to pick and I'll figure out something funny why not. Tie breakers will be both brutal and awesome. If someone makes a badass "Champion" gang tag we can totally throw that in there too.

RULES!

Come on, you knew that was coming.

1. Current photos only, please. Current meaning YOU DID NOT HAVE THIS PICTURE WHEN YOU FIRST READ THE CHALLENGE. YES YOU HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE, GOONS. If you post up a rad challenge photo and Dale Earnhardt Sr. is giving you a thumbs up, I'm probin ya. Only for like 6 hours though because Dale Earnhardt Sr. apparently thought you were a badass and who the gently caress am I to question that.

2. Try to quote the current challenge in your post.

3. Post up your next challenge IN THE SAME POST. Please bold and siren the poo poo out of it.

4. We'll give a challenge a week to get fulfilled. After that, democracy or fascism or something will decide what your horrible esoteric unpopular challenge gets replaced with.

5. Feel free to chat this thread the gently caress up, but keep it on topic.

6. Despite there being a thread in CA; motorcycles, and poo poo lets go ahead and say anything with an engine THAT YOU OWN, will do.

7. One challenge at a time. Once the challenge has been completed, it's dead in the water!

8. Some folk may need clarification on your challenge since you're a lovely person and were super vague. Clarification always goes by the person that posed the challenge, unless it breaks one of the rules.

9. Attempt to think globally when you decide on a challenge. This is 2017 and you need some drat culture anyway. We have Canadians and Australians and those from the motherland playing. When in doubt toss in an "or your country's equivalent" or something.

10. Holy poo poo do not start the car game in here.

11. No, Shitler, you can't solve your own challenge.

I'm literally a baby or didn't read the above rules and still don't understand what you're on about you loser

Don't end up like Tusen Takk 5 posts down from here!

Lurk and check out this thread or the CA Riding Game thread.

THANKS

:siren: First challenge! :siren:

Post a pic of your car near a power station.

So if HandlingByJebus has completed the current challenge, we now do his challenge, yes, not spend the next week doing power station pics first? I was a little unclear from the CA thread, it was implied they had used both rules at one point or another?

Correct. Once the challenge has been completed, it's dead in the water. One challenge at a time!

If there is a foul filling a challenge, the original challenge stands so a power station pic still needs to be taken. That person chooses the next challenge.

Power station was completed successfully. On or near a bridge is current.

Can we offer up either/or challenges? I have some ideas that might be a bit of a long shot (I.e. next to 3+ cars with plates from different states/territories/countries/whatever the aussies call states) but don't want to stall the thread.

Yeah go for it. Either/or is a good way to properly do esoteric poo poo.

If I had said power plant I would've said something, but "power station" is ambiguous enough that substations totally work.

If you want it to be hard, be explicit!

InitialDave posted:

I'd say any road vehicle is probably allowed, seeing as that's the rule we're running for what you can have as yours in the photo?

I also suspect Adiabatic will enforce the rules on a basis of "smartarse or rules-lawyering answers may get a pass if they are particularly awesome or very funny indeed."

You know me so well.

Its a great day in RVA so I took a drive to Libby Hill:



It's a pretty great view of Richmond up top:



As well as the "View that Named the City":






Poe lived a couple blocks towards town, and the "Give me liberty or give me death" speech occurred a couple blocks in the same direction.

There's also a neat statue dedicated to the fallen confederate soldiers and sailors:

I like to think that if you feel like you are bending the rules for a challenge in this game then you need to put the effort in to ensure you bend them properly. This keeps the sloth happy.
