2012 Tag O Rama

[Tim]

Are we doing one this year?

[Jeff]

If you think you can keep the game going then I say go for it. But normally the game dies out quickly and Barry is the only one playing.

[Jeff]

I know you guys thought last years format was good but it died out also. I saw on another forum that guys were posting up GPS coordinates off their phones or taking pictures of their GPS screens showing Northings and Eastings and using that as a tag game. They then put up a picture of their bike at that location. The good thing about that is it can just be a scenic road somewhere, not necessarily needing to have a landmark in the picture. Just a thought.

In the 3 years I have played we never made it to the end of the season, and my alter ego, Ray/Vin seems to be mostly gone.

I am open to whatever. Hell, if it makes things easier, we can remove the use of the gallery for tags.

I'd like to see the game back, even if I can't participate.

[Jeff]

Didn't we do away with the site based gallery for last seasons game?

[barrypz]

Last year we still required the hosting to be on site for most of the game.  By the time we talked about changing that, the game had petered out anyway.

[Jeff]

Yeah, I wouldn't guarantee any variation of a tag game wouldn't die out here over time. Last years arrangement couldn't get any easier for the most part and it still died.

[Jay]

It's going to die. That's fine, have some fun while it lasts!

[Jeff]

So who would actually participate in this? What format does the majority like?

I personally like to ride to the actual tag location. It might slow the game down but I think it's more fun. I like the GPS idea because it can get you onto some nice twisties and scenic areas where there are no landmarks to take a picture of. Maybe it can be a combination of landmarks and GPS coordinates. If there is a landmark, great, otherwise post the coordinates. Or we can ditch it for this year?

[Jay]

I think it has to be both. Limiting it to just the GPS, makes only people who can ride with GPS able to play.

Yeah I agree, but you can put the coordinates into google and it will give directions to get there.

[barrypz]

I can live with whatever we do.

[Jeff]

LOL, you sound so motivated.

I think I have gotten the drive to win out of my system.  Now I just want to know that on any day I feel like a ride I'll have a flimsy excuse to do so.  There are only so many times I can go to VT to get cheese, though I am thinking that a smoked meat or sausage ride could be in the cards.
