Congratulation on a great ride.

According to the intent of the founder, it is Quality* over Quantity, so I think the longest haul in one shot should be applauded not frowned upon. It is a quality location, easy to find, and one may even find peace and serenity in Placencia if one were opened to that sort of fair. Patience grasshopper...there are long riders on this site. Hats Off George Great job moving this game to a new level. Matter of fact I am going to pat George on the back right now.

Now who's heading south?

sorry to say bye-bye to the egg....bummer
realistically, and I say tis with due earnest, (even though your ride was epic) I would rather have read about your adventure$ to this foreign place in a nice post, than to have had you roll Egg-o to this place, under the guise of "enhancing" the North America T-O-R...
but that's my (frugal and pizzed) opinion..... We had fun watching Egg-O and his past predeccessors tour around, and even languish in SanDiego, for a while....how someone could even think that the "spirit" of the game would be "enhanced" by this selfish and rediculous "move to the farthest geographical edge" that it could go, would lead to "game on"....I feel it was very selfish, and not within the realm of what "normal" folks would do to keep a "game" going... do any of you honestly believe someone will persue the egg, at a great expense, (thousands of dollars) just to retrieve it? it is clearly eveident your planned vacation, likely planned for at least a couple years, just happened to allow a travel visa For Eggo....so sad well, all I can say is that while you were standing in the "holy place" that you placed it next to, you might have reflected upon just how real it would be to leave it there....and brought it back after documenting it's trip, leaving it in a place conducive to active game play.... it just seems selfish...yeah, you moved it the furthest, but had you brought it back and dropped it it would have moved twice the distance.... sorry, but some of us have no $$$$$$ for this crap. and it boils down to that. $$ this thread will die, and nobody will care. great job. Belize...c'mon man. [img] I'll start a new game tomorrow.... Oh, did you at least send all the stuff in the bag back to the person that started this game? that would have been a nice gesture... just sayin' ![]() it's all good......just blowing you a line of $#!+, but then would you expect less???

There seems to be a minority here who are down and out that Mr. Egg is not in their state. Well, as such maybe there are a whole lot of ADVRIDERS WHO SHOULD be whining the blues too. This mascot has sat in the USA for longer than this and not a peep was uttered from anyone but the guy who dropped it. I call for patience in the same way, that is all. This game is far from over, baby. Far from it. Digiamo screwed with this post 05-01-2010 at 09:26 PM |

time will tell, and my words of a new game are just to enact an outlet for all of us that could never fathom travelling to Belize, but would travel across the US, and if perchance the tag was sitting en-route, grab the biotch. I have to say I did have numerous opportunities to get "MOB" on the Eggo,(and blockhead, the duck, and all the predecessors) but work took precidence, after all this game did begin a hour and a half from my door...and cicled around a while... as I noted, it's all good, but to those sitting on the continent, we watch to see it move, and I don't see it happening soon.....unless you are still there, and going to drag it back.

Just because some of us can't travel far is no reason to take issue with those that can and are putting an enormous effort to do it with the spirit of the tag-o-rama tucked firmly under their arm. Perhaps the local state tags are better suited for those of us on a budget. privey to secret knowledge? Maybe....if no one is reading all the words in these posts, then yes only I know that...... THIS GAME IS STILL VERY ALIVE YOU FF's. ;) |

Not bitching so much as questioning the logic of placing Mr. Egg in Balize. I am positive the trip was fantastic and would be for me were I able to do it. The question (as posed by others) is just how realistic is it to think someone will make the trip? Yes, technically it is in NA, then so are a whole lot of places very few folks in or watching the game can or would go to grab Mr. Egg. Technically, I could take it to the northern terminus of the ALCAN, but then it would be in the same situation it is now.
MAN of blues -- Do you intend to start a USA TOR or should I?

While I admire the adventurous spirit that was required to take the egg all the way to Belize, I would like for everyone to direct their attention to 2 things.
First, the later part of rule number 2: #2 Dirt is allowed; however, let everyone know that the route to the tag includes dirt roads. Also, use your judgment on placing the tag to ensure that someone else will most likely come and get it, i.e. don't turn this into the "lets see who can find the most obscure tag location in history" thread. and Second, this map: http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/c...s/camerica.htm Now, to me, Central America does not equal North America (which I would define as Mexico, US and Canada), however, since I sort of left that open to individual interpretation I can't say the Tag is out of bounds. As far as Rule #2 goes, there seems to be some hinting that a grab for the tag will be made in the near future, and if that's the case, Great! Having said that, in order to have the game not put on a potentially indefinite hold, in 30 days, if no grab has been made and no plans to make the grab are in action, I will add a new rule to the list that will allow a new tag to be placed back within feasible reach of other taggers. Sound fair to everyone? |

Fair enough and with those ideals there will be a pickup post made soon since Mr. Egg is already on the move and looking for WiFi to post pics. I like George and many others here would consider it inappropriate to dump Poor Mr. Egg so far off the beaten track. BTW if it is not part of the North American continent then which continent is it? |
