So we've been doing the route number challenge to see how high a number we can reach. This one is not just about advancing numbers but about showing what our members have collected themselves.
What you can post:1.
Your own pictures only. You must have taken the picture yourself, or have someone take the picture for you (e.g. taking pictures for you as you drive; taking a picture of you with the sign). No Street View. No pictures poached from other people's sites or Flickr accounts. You must actually own the picture.
2. Limit one picture per route per person. If you have pictures of I-10 and US-10, you can post one picture from each route. Two people can post their own pictures of I-10 per rule #1.
3. Limit three pictures per post. (Just to keep posts from becoming enormously long.) Once someone else posts a picture, you can post again.
4. The number on the sign that is photographed must be shown on a route symbol. Signs with third-person textual mentions of routes are not allowed.
When you can post it:5. We will advance the current number no less than every 20 hours. For example, we will advance to 2 no less than 20 hours after we start 1. The 20-hour clock starts with the first post posted for a particular number, or a post by the moderator indicating that the number has advanced.6. After 300, we will advance the number by 5 each time. So 20 hours after 300, 301-305 will come into play.7. After 1000, we will advance the number by 20 each time. So 20 hours after 1000, 1001-1020 will come into play.5-7. The interval and size of advancement is at the discretion of the OP. The current schedule is:
[ul]
- 301-1000: One number every 10 hours.
- 1001-3000: 5 numbers every 20 hours.
- 3001+: The number will advance with each post.
8. All numbers before the current number are "still in play," so late-comers can continue to post new routes that they collect for prior numbers. (When posting a prior number, please indicate that you are doing so to reduce confusion.)
9. If you post a picture featuring the current number and a later number, you may post the same picture again when the game advances to the later number.
Other rules:10. Interstitial discussion posts are allowed.
11. You do not have to provide a link to your site/collection, but doing so is encouraged.
12. Former and decommissioned routes are acceptable. Older pictures of routes that have since been decommissioned are allowed. Current photos of routes that have been decommissioned but are still signed in the wild are allowed. Markers denoting historical routes (e.g. US 66) are allowed.
The goal here is for members to showcase their pictures and collections, and perhaps go take some pictures to build out their collections.
Here we go. Show us your 1s!
