NZ-wide pass the tag

[BMWST?]

technically speakin' , doesn't the tag have to be 'picked up' in wellington (bmwst?'s pic) and then deposited (new pic) on the other side?

i wouldn't have thought which ferry had anything to do with it?

as per rwh post this was the cunning plan of JMJ so that the game didnt rely on someone actually going over the strait at the actual time the tag arrived there

Hey guys, sorry I didn't spell it out, I was fully aware at 3pm when I first got to a computer that would take a SD card that the tag had gone, if I carried a laptop or a clever phone I could have claimed it but I don't so I didn't. Just picked the TDM up from Auckland and was riding back to Christchurch great 2 day ride with a few scenic detours. Thought I would post anyway. In the Canterbury tag no one seems to mind the odd post that shows you missed out and it seemed to fit as a reply to the post immediately before. As I said maybe I will get another chance as it comes South.

No problems mate, i like to see that people are interested in the game.Personally I wouldnt mind if people make a claim on a tag before they go for it as in this game it could a LONG ride only to miss out.If you take your normal camera cord with you a lot of libraries have internet facilities.It pays to have the old method of attaching pics though rather than the new method
TDM eh,i have always been interested in those bikes.Hope to see you in the game again soon!

BMWST put the tag on the Arahura at my request as I am crossing over on the Arahura at 2.25 am on Friday morning on my way down for the TT 2000. I am intending to plant the tag somwhere around Kaikoura. JATZ if you are intested in meeting me in Kaikoura on Friday morning send me a PM. I would be happy to pass the tag over to you assuming that doing so wouldn't breck the rules
Cheers

rules?
Ok we have rules which really spell out the mechanics of it,but remember it is a GAME.

well fuk me.this game must have changed down a gear and opened the gas stick a bit..
so its about to cross the creek again..
yea as been said, just get a photo of the ferry so we can see the name, so the southern lads and ladies can tag the same ferry at the picton port..
then you need to post the ferry pic and then the new tag and your away,, you southern lads try and bounce it around a bit.. instead of straight down to the start point..

its good to see the idea has worked well..
thanks all for keeping it going..

Jatz mate,, grab it....

you dreamed up a good game here Joe

on the Arahura at 2.25 am on Friday morning Cheers

[Kemet]

waa hooooooooo
I wonder if it will ever leave the South Island once it gets here.......

[JATZ]

P.M. on it's way STJim

Seems like i'm obligated to go grab it, just gotta think of somewhere " interesting" to drop it

I don't understand this "reserving " of the tag.
As the pic of the Arahura in Wgtn has been posted, I'da thought that anyone from the south can now claim it by posting a pic of the Arahura in picton.
And so the game moves on rather than stalling again
In what way am I wrong

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

Actually, it presumably doesn't have to be the interislander, either - I figure it would be perfectly reasonable to place it at an airport, with a particular plane in view (registration/call sign visible) for someone else to pick up wherever it goes - a few more choices than with the single-route ferry Or any other ship, though preferably not one that only goes international ..

Any other thoughts on that? Not that I'm suggesting it moves away from the interislander this time.

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?

i guess not but the original rules were written round the cook strait ferries.it was challenging enoough to get the origianl pic of the bluebridge ferry,and the pic of the Arahura was from a spot that i would have been challenged i am sure but as the ferry was about to leave the place was almost deserted.i like your thinkin richard but i think getting a picture of an air plane with call sign visible from the public area of an airport might be even more challenging.still it adds to the interest of the game in future.That gives me an idea for next time actually.
