  • I really think there is a strong argument for keeping the game more central, so that more people can take part. An 'easy' one isn't easy to get for most people if it's a 2 hour round trip.

    I agree, although 'central' at the moment means tagging something in a largely deserted area. It's different when people are actually at work and can nip out over lunch. At the moment, there's this strange phenomenon that you ride in from the suburbs and Zone 2 is busier than Zone 1.

    I disagree - I've learned a lot about parts of London I've never even heard of through this game, and the tags can get carried a long way quite quickly if people are commuting in and out.

    I think it mainly depends on how easy it is, which is often based on the clue. I think the further out something is, the easier the clue should be; not that it should be prohibitively obscure in a very central tag, either.

    If it was central I'm sure a lot of people would be less rather than more likely to get involved.

    Traditionally, no, central tags definitely go more quickly, but as I said above, we're not in a traditional situation.

    What would your definition of "central" be, anyway? Inside the Circulars would be quite central for the forumengers of Plumstead, Chingford or Ruislip.

    Well, thank goodness no-one in their right mind could possibly think of tagging something in Ruislip. Where the hell is that, anyway?

    Any (so called) 'Taggers' approaching The Glory that is Ruislip would be followed in the surveillance cameras system, and dealt with according to the PSPO, (Public Spaces Protection Order).
    'Where' suggests a stubborn reliance upon geography.
    Those that reside in 'The Goodliest Place in Middlesex' - E.M. Bowlt 1989,
    regard 'Ruislip' as more a state of mind. The best way to understand is to visit,
    so, post-further loosening of the Lockdown restrictions, I really should get round to organising a Forum Ride to include the Ruislip Woods NNR.
