Easier this way, innit? Is there any way we want to divvy these up?

I can get a picture of another beexer (Russell), which may be the most difficult at short notice. Let me have a look to see what I can definitely do today...

OK, I have put monkeys next tot he ones I can definitely get, and can probably get more, but will post if I can do them. The ones with exclmation marks are ones that I think we should all try to have a go at. Now, I am a bit confused as to whether they all have to be photos we have taken this week/weekend, or can be photos we have taken in the past. If the latter, then I probably have one or to of the other ones already, somewhere.

You should be able to edit posts in this subforum. Is that not the case?

Author:	Mimi [ Wed Apr 18, 2012 17:03 ]
Post subject:	Re: Task Two!
Yes we can - is that allowed in the subforum, then? Also just read your reply in the main thread that all photos have to be taken new, no old ones from the archives, which is fair enough and clarifies the answer above. where the heck do we get a picture of a lecture hall from, then? I fear Davpaz has the run on us in that one, quite a bit!

Right! So, trooper has posted a picture of a 360 achievement. Let's all try and get pictures of those, as any NEW picture of an object supercedes another. Let's all also take 2 or three photos (different angles, etc) of each thing because of this same rule, so we can't get out-posted.

Cheers Jazzy. Obviously, everyone take doubles of other peoples pics if possible, because new pictures supercede (etc) so the more pics we have on standby, the better. Thread is going to get messy... Also, ASAP, in case you're voted out in another task. Come on folks!

Grim should clarify the superseding rule. The rest of the rules don't seem to indicate that you can 'steal' a point from the opposition by posting a pic of the same thing. I thing it's a simple collectathon.

Quote: Newer photos of the same item will supercede older ones in the main thread. The judges may disallow a photo for any reason. Photos must be posted into the main thread before midday on Monday to count. No advantage is gained by being the first to post a photo. I think we would be best to keep out of the Task thread until Monday at 11ish and then spam the thread with all our photoes in one go? Or am i reading it wrong?

Author:	Mimi [ Wed Apr 18, 2012 18:28 ]
Post subject:	Task Two!
No, monday 11 is too late, I think - what if nobody is around to upload them? Plus, if the other team automatically posts all pictures at any tune then we lose anyway, so that's a tactic to discuss. Is there any that they likely can't get? We're at a disadvantage on the university lecture hall one if we don't have anyone on the team that doesn't work at a university. Have they got a similar disadvantage to us on any of the points? You can't just waltz into a university lecture - what shall we do there?

I think I used the image tags and deleted the http bit? I'm on my phone at the mo so not much help. I can't see the moon at all tonight and I've been outside a few times now. Looking at the weather report looks like we might struggle with the clear sky one too. Edit, I don't think tapatalk images show on the mobile site for me.

Folks, I'm really sorry this has come late (and all I seem to do is clarify the rules when I post in here) but "the judges" have had some discussion and I've just changed the rule about posting a photo on behalf of another person to be clearer, as it caused ambiguity. Basically, you have to take the pictures yourselves. Sorry if that wasn't clear enough.
