I took a bunch of pics I liked this week.
9 points for a police suv with me in it. There was actually a dog in that thing, and when I tried to move a little closer he scared me half to death.
Okay if that wasn't enough of me...
And just because I'm disapointed with all these pictures of semi's at gas stations I give you my scooter with a semi actually getting gas.
Actually what is the definition of a semi. I have a picture of my scooter with an orange moving truck, but I don't think it counts as a semi.

Re: OScoot continued
I think if you are trying for the pink semi it should be legit, I have 4 pink semi's at my shop by your definition, that truck is maroon at bestOScoot! wrote:Darn... it kept cutting off the end of my post....so here's the last photo....
And the best one!
Semi: 19 points!!!! (or 13 points, depending on your definition of “pink” )
Your scooter with a Truck or SUV = 1pt
+ 2pts if photo is taken at a gas station
+ 3pts if it is a Semi
+ 5pts if the truck/SUV is the same color as your scooter (This is NOT a red truck as you can see from the one next to it. It’s a DEEP DARK PINK, “in the pink family” )
+ 2pts if you are in the photo
+6pts if it is a PINK truck/suv (Hey, ya gotta give me credit for trying.)

Re: Scooter Photo Scavenger Hunt Week 4: Scooter with a Truc
I assure you that the truck and I are on the same side of the street as the gas station. This is an odd gas station. It has a very large gravel area out front under the sign for semis to park in and the pumps themselves sit pretty far back. I don't think this one is really meant for everyday vehicles.MikieTaps wrote:I would like to contest this being AT a gas station... it appears to be across the street from a Gas Station...

Re: Scooter Photo Scavenger Hunt Week 4: Scooter with a Truc
Thanks! This is like a small-town forgotten truck stop. Not sure how it makes it ... at most, maybe 4 semis can park there. Guess it's mostly just a place for them to catch some sleep.ScooterTrash wrote:I spend many days at "truck stops" like this, I got your back Orange Guy
Now, where my sister works ... that's a truck stop. Too much interstate driving for me to hit there, but I bet I could find trucks of every color there.

Finally on the board
So it's not a great effort, but I'm finally in the game.

THIS IS A SECOND REPLACEMENT ENTRY FOR THIS WEEK
Your scooter with a Truck or SUV = 1pt
+ 2pts if photo is taken at a gas station
+ 3pts if it is a Semi
+ 2pts if you are in the photo
8 points
You can only see my finger and part of my helmet in this shot; I had to shoot the semi (which was a tanker truck refueling the gas tanks) in my mirror. The only way you can tell it's a gas station is the tanker and the cover on the ground for a tank.
And here's a second pic (supporting evidence or better overall?) that shows me and the tanker better, but doesn't have the actual truck in it (well it does have the mudflaps!!), just the tanker and from an earlier post I didn't know if that was bad or not. I think it's better but will let the judges decide. Either should be 8 points, right?!

Don't bother. Do you remember when I kidnapped that whole little league team and walked away with a lousy three points?Syd wrote:I throw myself at the mercy of the judge.
This judge would rather see you in debtor's prison with nothing to munch on but crusts and a little Dr. Pepper than give away some extra points.
And we praise his judgment in your case. No scoot for you!
Hey, what's the contest for tomorrow???? C'mon. A hint? PLEASE?
We know you look at image data signatures for the date and time, so we won't cheat. I just have a long ride ahead of me tomorrow and the topic could affect which route I take.
Should it be near a beach? Or near lots of trees? Or places where famous street signs will be? Or long town names? Or the highest gasoline price? Or the best fast food? Or cows?
C'mon c'mon c'mon.
Thanks,
Jeff

This will serve to replace my original submission...although the pic isn't as great, it's worth more points.
Scoot with truck +1
+2 me with scoot
+5 same color as scoot
= 8 pts

Well you're not exactly making it easy to get all these things in there for maximum points! So sometimes the only option is a bit of everything!!ScootLemont wrote:Marsr - Othergods - Brape - Jmazza - Aerogirl7
I giving you your points... but really.... more scooter & less head!
The idea is to gather photos of your scooters
you guys either need longer arms, a camera with a timer or someone else to take the pic
Thaks for playing
If what ya want is pics of scooters than ditch the "with you in the pic" extra points!!
I'll try and get that cop pic and make ya proud next week!

For tomorrow... I am going to keep in the bonus of with you in the pic but the new standing rule will be if you want the bonus points, your entire scooter and entire body must be in the pic - not just the left side of your helmet & the mirror.jmazza wrote:Well you're not exactly making it easy to get all these things in there for maximum points!

If you want the points, you are just going to have to figure out how to use the timer on your camera, not use your cell phone, or find a person to take the pic.
I am not knocking those pics (well... yeah I am ) but I think everyone knows the intent was to get a pics of us with our scooters like this:
Not like this

personally I'd like to see fewer bonus points being offered all around. Most people are trying to get THE MOST points they can. (I'm quilty of trying for it too), but I thought the original point was to just get the picture of the scooter with xx and that the bonus points were really bonus's...like HARD to get instead of "just one more thing to include in the picture".

But many people like the challenge & the competition & might get board if it is just a pic of your scooter with X - so the bonus points are there to keep the overachievers interested & playing.
(the real reason is I want to see how far I can get 20 or 30 people to go - I am the PUPPET MASTER & you will all do my bidding!)
So hopefully everyone will have fun & play along regardless of it they just want to post up a quick pic or want to spend the week getting the most points.

I am glad everyone who is participating is having fun, and for the super-competitive members I am guessing they are enjoying all the ways to amass points, but I haven't put in a photo since week one because the points stuff isn't so much fun for me. I was thinking of still taking photos of the themes for each week so I will have a set of one of everything but just not submitting them the week they are due and hassling with the points thing.

many of us (myself included) have only posted up low point photos...
It's not about the points for a lot of us - just for the fun

I've submitted a few ideas that could prove a challenge.
But, in SL's defense ... he's screwed either way. Half of us will say it's too easy, the other half say it's too hard and the third half will say it's too competitive. You can't please all three halves.
