I think adds to fun. I also like the 6 hour rule because I hope it ends up like this ...

East-coast member posts something ... then a West-coast member responds ... then an Asian/European member responds while the other two sleep ... then it goes back to an East-cost member all in one day

People could check BF before hitting the commute in. I think a week would be pretty slow, but you're right, the rules should be flexible Domromer having the final say.

(Domromer is an awesome user name by the way ... as in Dom/Römer in Frankfurt?)

I get what your saying. But for now I'm going to leave it as it is with the six hour rule. Obviosly posting the photo with a cell phone on site is a great advantage for those who have that ability to do so. Originally this game was meant for motorcycles so we might need to tweak the game as we go along. But I don't want to change too much at once. We are already trying out the one photos context leading into the other so lets stick to trying one thing at once. Again this game is just about riding. If someone beats you to posting a photo, you still got to ride your bike..that's a win in my book.

No Dominic Romer is my full name and for some reason I had one of those names that when I was growing up everyone called my by my first and last name when they were referring to me. I'm not sure why because I was usually the only Dominic around. So it sorta stuck and thats been my internet handle since the late 90s. What is the Dom Romer in Frankfurt?

acidfast7

Dom is "dome" meaning cathedral and Römer meaning "Roman". "Dom/Römer" is a subway stop that leads to the largest cathedral in Frankfurt, some Roman ruins, and a square where Frankfurt has a kick-ass Christmas market with a 50-100 foot tree (and great hot spiced Christmas wine.) I live about 400m from here (on the south side of the river).

This thread makes me want to buy a smart phone with a data plan now.

i only have an old dSLR (Nikon D50) and carried the brick just for this

Lol - nice. We have one digital camera - which my wife uses almost daily. This could turn into a problem Maybe it's time to upgrade.

OK, I thought I'd missed that rule and was surprised when I saw a time limit last night.

6 hours seems reasonable to me for a global forum. We have the same game on a local commuting forum here and it sometimes takes several days for new tags to be posted but there are only a handful of people playing. I think the 6 hour rule makes you think one step in advance.

I added the part of tag using a part of your photo as the tag for the next to keep with the theme of the tag game. In this game it was simply what you felt related to the previous photo in your photo.

Domromer

Ok, Now I understand. I'm not sure if this will slow the game down but we shall see how it goes. I know sometimes tags languish on the motorcycle version if they are difficult. So I worry this might make it a little harder. But lets see, the good thing about starting a new version is you can tweak it and make changes. I tried for the new tag but oddly there were no bicycle signs on my route.

ckaspar

I'll find one on the way home and post up if nobody else has.

megalowmatt

Wow this thread has gotten off to an awkward start. lol

ckaspar

Imagine the discussions that happened when people were developing Monopoly!!

Domromer

Nah just getting the kinks worked out.

megalowmatt

So...has a picture been tagged or are we waiting on somebody to post one with a tag?

Domromer

Acid placed placed the latest tag. You are looking for a bicycle related street sign.

ckaspar

Let's change it up and do your bike with a Fall colored background.

Happy hunting.

Domromer

I've got friends going there for christmas. They are crazy for the Christmas Market and the Spiced wine.

Aushiker

Just pointing this little point out but that cuts out most of us in the southern hemisphere where is spring now.

ckaspar

True but I didn't say themed. It was colored. Gotta be some thing orange, brown, yellow or red down there too.

Aushiker

Fair enough .. brown and red are easy Does this cut the mustard?



If yes, then the next tag is your bicycle with a tourist sign of some type.

Andrew

acidfast7

Are the bullet holes in the sign required

Aushiker

That is a sign of manhood ... if you can hit a sign you have made it

Photo of my bike with St. Paul's Church ... this is where the first German Constitution was attempted, the effort was crushed, a revolution was started, then it was crushed (in 1849 or so). Finally, a different constitution was passed in 1871, making the US almost 100 years older than Germany.

There was a group of Chinese tourists there taking photos, so it should count

More reading if interested (maybe we should do this with all of the locations ... for example I have no idea why that place in AUS is a tourist destination):

I would like to your bicycle with a building older than 1900.
