| Where in the World Challenge - not a puzzle | kite_surfer | 3/30/12 10:12 AM | Sightseers' post 'Where in the World' might probably move to Google+ permanently. This is just an assumption on my part, but I'm guessing this would be a wise decision, as there is now a direct link to an online form where you should post your answer |
| Re: Where in the World Challenge - not a puzzle | Walter_V_R | 3/30/12 10:56 AM | Thanks for the announcement, Kite. I didn't see the G+ post yet, because it was already at page 2 (due to later posts) I was surprised that it has already been published now, because the new month will only be there next Sunday. I always depended o |
| Re: Where in the World Challenge - not a puzzle | kite_surfer | 3/30/12 11:25 AM | +++ Good points, Walter. I agree whole heartily but I guess in this new system, the spoilers will slowly, but definitely subside if the poster, in this case Google Earth makes it even more clear that there can only be one way to win. You also made |
| Re: Where in the World Challenge - not a puzzle | krenek | 3/30/12 3:17 PM | thanks for the info - - - i'm not very into social networks (how they work) and i never got any newsletter in the past : so i have only to go to the Google Earth stream page, click "follow" and i will be informed in the future? i'm lucky because i |
| Re: Where in the World Challenge - not a puzzle | kite_surfer | 3/30/12 7:46 PM | You're very lucky to have visited that glacier, Krenek... And as I said, you don't have to know everything about social media or be a member of G+ to participate. But if you are, then you could 'Follow' that Google Earth Page and you will stay upda |
| Re: Where in the World Challenge - not a puzzle | Farceur | 3/30/12 10:54 PM | The old WITW encoraged everyone to participate even when it had been answered but the new style does not encorage mass participation once it has been answered. As for spoilers. Only when all participants actually read the guidelines will spoilers be |
| Re: Where in the World Challenge - not a puzzle | kite_surfer | 3/31/12 3:41 AM | +++ Well spoken, Farce. Participants were awarded the number of WITW wins in their profile. Now it's just a mention.. |
| Re: Where in the World Challenge - not a puzzle | lockhopper | 3/31/12 4:49 AM | I agree. The only WITW I 'won' was before I got the newsletter - a good challenge is always better than a bunch of clues first. |
| Re: Where in the World Challenge - not a puzzle | BeadieJay (GEC Moderator) | 3/31/12 6:44 AM | I have to admit that the clues are far too easy, and I know some of the one-timers have commented on this in the past. I did try sending a pm to everyone new that answered the WITW inviting them to join us in the F&G forum, but most went un-read and |
| Re: Where in the World Challenge - not a puzzle | Utapao | 3/31/12 7:24 AM | Agree, but I'm disappointed that quite a few semi-regulars seem to have dropped out, too. |
| Re: Where in the World Challenge - not a puzzle | kite_surfer | 4/1/12 1:46 AM | +++ Thanks for your addition to this thread: Locks, BDJ and Utapao.. I guess I start off by knowing just enough to kind of answer Ron's reply. I guess the 'semi-regulars' which are referred to probably (also) includes the big time (F&G) contributors |
| Re: Where in the World Challenge - not a puzzle | lockhopper | 4/1/12 2:44 AM | Thanks for the updated information regarding missing contributors. I didn't realise a Google account was required. Membership of the F&G group numbers 45 :( not a lot. Admittedly, I wasn't keen on the new platform initially (new stuff to learn but n |
| Re: Where in the World Challenge - not a puzzle | kite_surfer | 4/1/12 2:58 AM | Current observations in this thread: 1. Quoting Walter: "..every challenge in this forum is sort of a WITW" I couldn't agree more.. The WITW is personally created by SightseerAdmin. If it's originally from Phil or Michael, that I don't know, but it |
