I like that idea of the KB flag thingie as well. But how would you stop the flag getting stolen by Joe Public? It needs to be hidden somewhere.
Geocaching follow a similar principle but on a worldwide scale, they use "travel bugs" and "geo coins" instead which are a lot smaller and easier to hide than a flag.

As for the actual boundaries of the current game:
I reckon limit it at the Otaki township up the coast and perhaps Greytown, Martinborough in the Wairarapa.
There are quite a few KB'ers up the coast and there seem to be a handfull at least on the Rapa side of the hill.
Could make for a couple of nice trips over the hills in the weekends.

Bring it up to the coast and you have another contender here

been watching this with interest guys, looks and sounds like fun.

Do we ban remote uploading of getting a tag?Upload photos(of getting tags!) from home and public places only,ie libraries and internet cafes.If you are posting a new tag then remote is fine?

I think that is fair, and Im sure most will concur ..... otherwise, anyone that is more than 30 minutes from a tag is not going to stand a chance.

and to help in future games state where you uploaded the pic...

**igormortis** · 10th July 2009, 13:23

Sounds fair to me. But it's not really something you can check/enforce, it'll just have to be by honour.

**Scout** · 10th July 2009, 13:27

Thats right, it will just be an honour thing, but those who enjoy the game will be likely to support fairplay.....

removed from tag thread and posted here, sorry bmwst

re remote posting, I dont have this capability but dont have a problem with it. to me its no different than if a tag is posted 10 minutes from you then you have an advantage over somebody an hour away

thats fair enough, but they still have to know where it is, I spent 45 mins yesterday hunting for an iternet connection with sd card and still got beaten for the tag, id say just leave it for now, if it does become an issue then ban it

**igormortis** · 10th July 2009, 18:04

OK, I'm discussing it in THIS thread

. I understand the concerns about remote posting, but I reckon we may be in danger of introducing too many rules to the game.

I don't think we need to try too hard to create a level playing field since we all probably have our own advantages. Like local knowledge, a bike that runs, lack of sanity etc.

Perhaps we just keep an eye on things - let's not pretend we don't watch the tag thread like hawks - cause for the moment it appears to be self moderating. Less is more.

I have thought we could go as far north as Palmerston north and Masterton?

I have another really cool idea, why dont you start a Wellington Tag-o rama social group and take this stuff off the main forum?
