Silhouette challenge

[Lightning Mate]

NSW is now 11 hours ahead of us.

Are we getting further ahead? That's Australia for ya!

Further ahead in time zone only.

[Noyade]

Now, what did you want to know about the Noyade 500 competition?

That just rolls off your tongue doesn't it!? Noyade 500...Noyade 500...oooohh I've got goose bumps...

Noyade 500...Noyade 500

I like the sound of it too! Did you see my comments on it....what do you reckon??

[Noyade]

Hang on mate...I've got to flick back the pages and see what your comments were...

In fairness nothing changes save that the poster can claim the prize if their image survives 500 mins and they can demonstrate that more than 500 aircraft were produced.

Exactly!

But!.....should the EXACT image be 'findable' on the net? And should we ask for clues and should it run concurrently with our normal challenges (too complicated?)?

[Noyade]

What does the sign say mate?

[Lightning Mate]

Risk of drowning!

[Lightning Mate]

.....and should it run concurrently with our normal challenges (too complicated?)?

Much too complicated and would cause lots of confusion.

[Noyade]

Awww....you don't like the whole idea or just the bit you quoted? Be honest now...

[Lightning Mate]

Au contraire.

The idea is fine but not two challenges at once please.

[Noyade]

I just thought that if no one asks clues and if none are answered, it'll be very quiet.

So...ask and answer clues?

[Noyade]

In that case maybe the Noyade 100. LOL!

Anyway, how's the day shaping fellas?

[Lightning Mate]

So...ask and answer clues?

That's the way we normally play it now (well most of us do!).

Anyway, how's the day shaping fellas?

Nice and sunny here at 15 degrees.

Exact image on the net - no. Providing the aircraft is on the net, and I doubt there are any with a production run of over 500 that aren't anyway.

Concurrently - no. It would be too confusing

Clues - I was wondering about that. I think you have to either:
- declare at the start of the challenge that this a potential Noyade 500 challenge and therefore there are no clues
- dont't declare its a Noyade 500, and treat as a normal challenge.
I think its up to the person setting the challenge as to what they want to do.

Finally we have to bear in mind time zones. Graeme could easily set one at 2300 UTC and win at 0720 UTC because we've all been to sleep! I think an element of common sense would have to be used.

This blackberry/blueberry thing....just a mobile phone with the internet?

Two outback cowboys are having a chat about their favourite sexual positions, when one of them says; I like the rodeo rider.
The rodeo rider? The other cowboy says, what is that, never heard of it! Well, says the first cowboy, when you're doing it doggy style you lean forward, get a firm hold of your wife's boobs and then you whisper in her ear; gee, they feel exactly the same as your sister's.. And then you try to stay on for another ten seconds!!

[Noyade]

Exact image on the net - no. Providing the aircraft is on the net, and I doubt there are any with a production run of over 500 that aren't anway.

Very true! You're a clever man! I didn't think that way.

Concurrently - no. It would be too confusing

Fair enough.

Clues -
I think its up to the person setting the challenge as to what they want to do.

Again, fair enough.

Finally we have to bear in mind time zones. Graeme could easily set one at 2300 UTC and win at 0720 UTC because we've all been to sleep!

Oh, Ken...I'm hurt....

Really...a "chat?" Pommie cowboys?

Good joke mate!
