Anyone for a game of Tag Poker? (1/5)

[Feenixx]

Anyone for a game of Tag Poker?

It could go something like this:

1.) somebody posts a picture from their own gallery and names one of he elements in it, say "window"
2.) somebody else posts another picture with a window in it, and raises the stake by naming another element in the new picture, along with the window, like "window, lamp post".
3.) the next person playing has to post a picture with a window and a lamp post, and yet another named element, say "window, lamp post, flower box"

...and so forth, until nobody raises the tag stake any further for, say, 24 hours.
When this happens, the last photographer who raised the stake may post a new picture and name one element.
If he or she doesn't post a new picture within another 24 hours (that's 2 days after the most recent posting), then starting a new round is "up for grabs".

Is it too complicated? Shall we try it?

Let me start it off, tentatively, with one of my Christmas day pictures:


...and my stake is drain pipe

The next picture could be, for example, a shot of a shop with a drain pipe down the side, and the stake could be raised to "drain pipe, shop window"...

domispinella, is the Mediterranean Sea really a river?


I believe we should let tashimelampo start the next round, if you agree... and, of course, if nobody else raises his stake in the meantime.

Having nothing, I fold either way.

can we consider that a stick of wood , on the house , and a stick of wood on my bench , are both beams ? if yes , I add sun umbrella ops:

this wouldn't be the first time that one of the las two left in a game of poker gets punched on the nose, I guess...


I like the picture of the Globe!!!

Quote domispinella:

I didn't much like the use of your shrubs as trees previously. I certainly can't see how you can equate a structural beam to a park bench, and I definately cant see how you can play the same card twice.

What do you say Feenixx

hum , I don' t have other beam , so you win , French poker rules are smtmms different we call it liar poker

What do you say Feenixx

I was going to wait for the fight to break out and then take photos...

but seriously...
I have no problem with "playing the same card twice" - I thought of it after I posted the rules - it actually allows for introducing an element of strategy. Shrubs or trees - dunno, it's hard to tell in a picture.... but...

Benches, in English, are most definitely not made of beams. Laths or planks, but not beams. I reckon you should open the next round again.

This game could be fun to just sit back and watch the "fights"

Quote Feenixx:

OK Feenixx, you self styled squabble master you, I still say you can only play a card once, after all, there is only one of each kind in a normal deck.

Chew on this one

[keepclicking]

not me, I can't even join in, let alone top it.

[♠ c0l0gne1 ♣]

How long do we wait to give others a chance?

[keepclicking]

I think 30 to 36 hours is the norm, two days at the most. In other words, you can open the box of chocolates, but don't eat any of them just yet.

[♠ c0l0gne1 ♣]

O.K.- we'll give them till tomorrow (evening)

[Ralf_G.]

The ladder and the hazard jacket are a bit hard to discover ... and I suppose the hazard jacket will be your killer argument, congratulations in advance!

[vo-id]

Can you help me? I cannot find the ladder! (By the way I found a bird, a man with a green hat, a clef, a photographer, a smiling woman and a fire extinguisher)

[Ralf_G.]

... not to forget an empty golden flowerpot!

Look below the bird in the sky - I discovered a ladder on the left side of the Centre Pompidou, on a kind of emergency exit made of white steel tubes, near the dark protruding edge of the roof.

[keepclicking]

There's me thinking the wheel would be the hard one to find.

[Ralf_G.]

LOL - there are even two wheels in the middle in the foreground! But on a picture with so many details you sometimes miss the wood for the trees ...
What about making a 1.000-parts jigsaw puzzle from this photo?

Well, Keith ... and what about the other items from keepclicking's photo: wheel, ladder, people?
In your photo there are people and wheels (a tyre at the side of the platform, and several wheels on the caterpillar crane), but I can't discover a ladder. Is there any - maybe on the crane?

[tashimelampo]

Sorry!

Thats an escalator. The ladder is as Ralph G describes.

I see where you mean. In English, the boy is wearing a 'hoody' or a sweat shirt with a hood. A hazard jacket in English means accident prevention clothing, in this case, a bright yellow jerkin with flourescont stripes to make him easily visible to others. These are worn by road crews when repairing the road or workers on construction sites, railway maintenance crews or airside airport staff on runways etc.

If you look at the bottom right side of my picture, you will see a man in the shadows, crossing from left to right, just in front of the Cafe umbrellas wearing a bright yellow jerkin. This is called a hazard jacket. I have seen them in Italy but I have no idea what they are called, and as your English is far better than my Italian, I will leave it to you to find out for the pair of us.

Regards from England

[vo-id]

Isn't it rather a vest than a jacket? But I am no fashion designer. What I really want to say is that in the photo of VKeith there is a red ladder lying on the wood in front of the excavator or the crane.

[tashimelampo]

Ok, you're right, you choose the next subject. Greetings,Elios

Well, I checked VKeith's photo again after your hint, vo-id ... Yes, the red thing could probably be a ladder, so I say sorry for my critique.

But VKeith himself hasn't reacted at all, and in order to avoid confusion, I suggest we go on with the game (last post by tashimelampo) - and VKeith gets a bonus point for his next attempt ...
