Allowing recent file photos for placement of a new tag means you can have daylight ones all the time. Disallowing them means you're going to get a lot more night photos to look for as some of us just can't get out during the mid week in daylight.

Agree with TA on this....

Yes, that is the downside. We are past the shortest day tho

OK. Seems I am in the minority. How about file photos allowed until daylight savings starts again??

[Transalper]

Or if you make a new tag in the dark you have to back it up with a daylight version which would be from file... or even google

Although that will not do anything for the flow of the game and may be a bit frustrating having to go back to tag a place in the dark that you photographed just last weekend in the daylight.

Not having a dig
But lets not complicate the game with too many rules..
I think that as long as it a clear..ish photo, so to see background and other clues then its all good. The game is about trying to get a photo that will enable to get people out and about...that way they will see more potential tags for themselves etc
Some camera's are not bad at taking photo's at night and some...well thats another issue......
Just MHO

200kms is just going to eliminate competition.

If you want it to be more fast paced and varied then keep it closer... most all the ones in town have had multiple people going after them and we've seen some interesting photos.

The ones like that one in Culverden just seem to pad out the length of the tag with huge boring straights, and seem to limit people to how much time they have on their hands, whereas ones closer to home people can just see it, hop on their bikes and go for a hunt.

Seems stupid to me to deaden the pace with distance, when the game seems much more exciting when there are several people all out hunting for a place that's interesting to get to and racing back home to beat the others.

My 2c. Might as well keep the big ones for lazy Sundays when people are going to be out riding anyway.

You have to have the odd tag that adds spice to the game , culverden or barrhill made people think , and you had to work for it .Harden up and stop moaning, theres some people who work most weekends/shift work , ya thought about them?

[McWild]

An hour of straights isn't really my idea of "spice", if anything it creates more of a google challenge because less people are willing to ride a straight road for so long to just have a look.

Keep in mind that that was just an opinion, I actually think it would be stupid to add any more rules and would prefer to just let the game run its course.
It's all just fun anyway. I think everyone has the good sense not to do anything to ruin it.
Just saying that the game seems more fun when tags are closer, but everybody has a different idea of what the game is (and what fun is) so letting it run its course accomodates everyone.

If you can't make the tag ... YOU DON"T... Let those that want to play the game ...continue the game. Making the tag FIRST is not just PART of the game ... IT IS THE GAME ... isn't it ???

ANY excuse otherwise is billshite...!!!

Well checked a few spots tonite no luck , Can ya see this brick circle thing from the road Guzzi?

The game is obviously different things to different people as is everything in life I suppose. I see no need to have exactly the same rules as every one else.
If we keep the status quo then there will almost certainly be a full days wait for everyone before a new tag goes up on a fair few of the next tags I get.


End of the day it's not going to be anything anyone's going to loose sleep over, what ever everyone settles on.
If the game gets to feeling too broken by a lot of waiting then I'll likely just loose interest... not that that matters really.
Just going to sit back and see what happens now.
I'm all out of 2c

I definatly want to play the game but if the rule is daylight only pix, Thats me out. I work 6 days a week, often 70+ hours . It is impossible for me to take pix in daylight during the week.

Night shots reduce the level of info one can glean from a pic. A tidy solution would be allowing file pix. The way I see it, as long as your bike is in the pic, you have been there so whats the difference if I take the pic at lunch time on sunday, or straight after hunting down a fresh tag?

[rosie631]

Well, if you do the ride on the Sunday in advance for the purpose of using as a tag in the near future I think that's ok. I guess the original rules mean file photos as in - I was here a year ago.
Don't want to get bogged down in rules so just everybody do tags as they see fit. We all have different bikes, time commitments etc so there will be somebody interested in going for them.

I'm chuffed that this tag is actually stumping you guys, hardly expected that! Yes, the moon gate can be seen from the road. The building behind the fence was an instution with a dispicable past. In the last 100 years it has had slightly different uses but there is one common denominator that links them.

[rosie631]

Hmmm, very intrigueing. Is it anything to do with Sunnyside??
