no.certain shots deserve proper illumination if the shot is to be a close as replica.

This is an old but ongoing poke that has all but dried up - to be taken with a grain of salt.

Early players scattered the tag far and wide, hence the Hutt and Welly stats. It even went over the rapa a few time (from the coast I might add). They were never dropped just around the corner from the previous one.

But the main thing was that the tag didn't stay in the same location. It used to go from Welly to the Hutt and across to coastal.
Now it moves around local so that it is a fast game. The whole point was to ride to get the tags. File pics were used in an extreme case when you didn't have time to ride to get the new one. Now almost every tag is a file tag, (which happened to be 200mtrs from the previously got tag 3 days ago).

And yes, I am guilty in the past of wanting the next tag to go up quick. But that was just good old fashioned humour.

so.....Take one sharp knife and one tub of salt.

Proceed to make one long incision across chest and pour salt.

The game sure has changed from the early days. I've had to learn to change with it and enjoy it when i can play.

You can check this against the pic I took this morning if you are keen

that is spot on.According to sat view, the pic was taken 654 ft south of the monument, but I arn't into splitting hairs.

here is the non zoomed version of the pic I posted which shows the exact location clearer, which of course is why I cropped in the first place

If people are keen and prepared to take the game further afield, e.g. over the Takas I am happy with that. It might slow down the tag rate, but while the weather is nice it will get us out into the country

**StoneY** · 8th February 2010, 18:07

OhI can send ya allllllll over the 'Rapa Lizard, hehe even have a few 'Buell' tags from a day on my mates XB9 (hehe like that BeemA?)

Of course it won't, how can anything that allows you to meet a multitude of like minded people possibly be bad for you.
