It never hurts to ask...

It wouldn't be hard except for the lights flashing. . .I think that may be a bit tricky.

as did I, sad thing was I went to high school with 3 of the guys on duty and they still refused.

Seminole · 10-07-2010, 08:40 PM

Not to sit here and complain, but this is why I suggested challenges that aren't super hard or that can get you in trouble. Sure, driving down a drive-thru backwards is funny, as is blocking the exit to a garage (maybe not so much) but if a Cop saw you doing either you're likely to get pulled over and get a ticket. Not to mention those types of challenges take a long time and drag the game out. We've been going down to around 2-3 challenges a week instead of 2-3 a day like it was in the beginning. And some of these challenges are almost impossible since people involved could get in trouble. I'm sure if the firefighter's superiors find out, they'll be less than thrilled, just like no BMW SA would ever hold up a sign saying HPFP fail. Just my $.02

I def. agree with that, but I don't know if a police man can give you a ticket for going thru a drive thru backwards

. Anyways, I say we try to keep them short and sweet from now on. Try to make them funny but also easy to get so people are fighting to get it first as opposed to saying "I have to sit this one out b/c of blah blah blah..."

aannnddd ON WITH THE GAME!

You're driving backwards with the flow of traffic. A cop could give you a ticket for careless, or even reckless driving if he wanted. I got a ticket at 16 for careless driving because some cop said I came around a corner too fast. My wheels never squeaked or anything, and within 20 feet of the turn I stopped and parked, so I'm not sure how that qualifies as careless, but that didn't stop me from getting a ticket.

nah man, its on private property. there are things police can charge you with along with the cooperation of the owner of the drive thru establishment, but driving offences aren't one of them.

My experiences are quite the opposite. I've received two moving violations on private property. One was the ticket I described above (it was in a movie theaters parking lot) and another in my gated apartment complex's lot. So if the cop wants to he can write you up, private property or not.

These were my thoughts, and yeah sometimes cops are just assholes. They have a badge and a gun, and some are just power hungry and think that that badge gives them the right to be an ass to anyone anywhere on any circumstances. Thats the pure reason why people have lost respect for them. Every now and then you'll come across a cop who loves his job and is really cool and just trying to help people out, happens very rarely though. Its whatever though, no one got in trouble in the game so I say from now on out we make the challenges a little less extensive and try to keep the law out of it.

so now what?? another challenge?

+1 thx guys

Professor///M · 10-08-2010, 01:58 PM

Let me just clarify what I have done so far...

I've won 2 and posted 2 challenges.

I only post challenges that I know that I can complete after the 7 day deadline. I even edited one, because someone thought it was too restrictive.

Just because it's hard doesn't mean you should complain about it. There's nothing illegal about this. If you have connections with a fire department or ambulance agency, you can make it happen. If you ever drove by an emergency department, you could make it happen. If you have 2 toy ambulances or fire trucks with flashing lights, you can make it happen.

The reality is that the fun about this game is that some people like to see things that others don't and some people have access to other "sites" or "connections" that others don't. For instance I would never be able to do your e9X on a mountain, because none are close by, nor your E9X next to a skyscraper.

And I'm tired of seeing things where people hold up stupid signs. They're funny at times, but hard to get done as 1 person

Quit complaining, and game on!

If you want me to change the challenge, I will, but it will be VERY embarrassing.
