NZ-wide pass the tag

[devo]

I don't think you are. I don't think there's even anything stopping you (or someone else) picking it up at the Wellington ferry terminal and taking it wherever ... a few mainlanders might get a little grumpy at that though

I wasnt for a moment suggesting it was picked up from welly.
As far as it goes the tag is now in Picton awaiting pickup.

[devo]

i was PM ed by ST Jim saying he was on his way down south.For the sake of a few days why not,It has sat in some locations for weeks so whats a few days.I would suggest that it may not have moved before the weekend anyway.But as rwh says any one may grab it and move it where ever,but that would be bad form in my opinion.ST Jim has asked.Surley we are not in such a hurry we cant wait a few days.Or am i living in my own little dream world?

No Mr Beema
Where not in a hurry at all
but in all fairness to the mainlanders who are sitting there not claiming it as a favour, the tag sat for a week within 50 miles of ST Jim. Surely he could of played with it then.

It just seems in this paticular game there are arrangements being made behind the scenes all the time.
When I took it to foxton, I was then told it should have gone to the wairappa,when it came down to Otaki, it was supposed to be picked up by a 4 man team, now it arrives in Picton, its supposed to be picked up by a hamilton man cos he asked first.
Its all these extra arrangements that made me leave it alone when it sat under my nose for a day in the weekend.

I hope like hell that the welly game doesnt go this way or I'll be leaving that alone as well

The whole idea of the game is first-in, first-served. Thats why it's fun. Better take them pics and post them quick before someone else does!

No crying please. Shoot pic, post tag. Done. Nuff sed.

i agree with both of you but I feel that this game is a bit different to a local tag game.Sometimes there are big distances involved so i think that some expressions of interest are fair enough.Say i decide i was gonna get the tag form hampton downs,i would prolly make some sort of call on it,cos i would then hate to get up there and miss it cos someone local grab it. In this case ST jIm has made a call and its all above board.No harm done surely,And i reiterate it has sat for up to about 20 days before.
Anyway as with the Welly game i am not gonna make rulles to cover every eventuailty.From now on if you wanna make a call on a tag do it publicy but its not binding.Anyone contemplating grabbing a tag with a call on it at least contact the caller by PM to save him/her a 300 km wasted trip!
Thats my view on it,this is not a rule just a idea how the game can be played to encourage the tag being moved over some empty spaces.If there is a danger of going on a mission and missing out there will perhaps be a reluctance to make the missions.I beleive the game started proper with a couple of public planning posts.

But don't move it too far from Picton in one go...

Fair enuff Paul, however I am not a call maker.
Personally, I feel the first to post is the winner, not the first to post up " I'm off to get this "
We all know that " locked and loaded " doesnt mean squat other than the author has worked out where it is and will pick it up if its still available when he gets there.

Koromiko p'raps, is that close enough ?

Yup. Posting about it just alerts others and loses you the tag.

It's a game to get the tag. Some you get, some you don't. Any of the tags I have taken I shot home pronto to post, and that's the way of it. A 300km bike trip is never a wasted trip. You're not "doing the tag a favour", you are competing in a sport.

Stop crying. Harden up and go play the game, you wooss.

the map is now editable by anyone.its not up to date.i have finished with it

[devo]

O K every one
I think I may have gone a bit over the top with my rant last night and for that I apologise to anyone whose feelings I hurt.
I still believe the points I made were valid, however I could have been a little more subtle in the way I expressed them.
Sorry if I pissed you off, I'll now take some more nice pills and sit back and mind my own.

This could be in Bluff within two weeks! We have the Babes on Bikes meeting in Methven on 20th March. Are there any Babes around the tag that can bring it towards Methven and I can take it home?! (Or drop it for others along the way). Then I can get someone to send it on it's way back up before Winter just like BMWST would like - head north for winter! (Wish we could all do that!) Whatdoya reckon?
