Potential fun for OcUK beer drinkers...

DirtyJester · 23 Jul 2012 at 11:20

Has everyone got a beer related prize yet?

Should this be compulsory?

DirtyJester · 23 Jul 2012 at 11:23

Oh as for W .... might be off the mark here but what about, Wales

As for X that can just be bonus round ANY beer will do but same points apply, could be a game swinger?

OK shall we start with a few suggestions on say the first three countries? Don't forget how the scoring works

Mine:

Australia
Belgium
Czech Republic

Feel free to post your suggestions or even if you just agree with these.

Will there be horrible repercussions of missing the odd one? couple of saturdays I predict running home for a beer at my desk might not be quite possible...

On the upside I'd like to play (and need to stock up on a couple of classic ni beers for that slightly competitive edge for when we get to it)

The worst that can happen by missing a post / email is that you miss the chance on getting some points, remember the max points are 3 so not all is lost. I reckon we will go with an email being sent to a soon to be setup account esp. for this, so no reason you have to be rushing an email exactly on the day. This make sense?

I'll add you to list though matey.

Argentina,

Can I confirm, are we going to be doing all 3 beers each week or one every week? I think that's better.

It will be ONE per week. The reason we select three countries in advance is to give the postage people a chance to place orders.

DirtyJester · 23 Jul 2012 at 14:18

A - C country suggestions so far...

America / Argentina / Australia / Austria

Belgium / Bulgaria

China / Czech Republic

..keep your votes / suggestions coming

I dont have a camera but would like to play along for fun. Does it have t be a set country or can we pick our own from the letter eg for B most people will pick belgium (nice beer) but i'd like brazil. Got a small indepent off-licence near so i might do ok.

Sorry as stated on first page "so you will need a camera / webcam / phone"

So it's a must have am afraid.

when does the fun start.

... well that all depends how quickly we can select the countries

Could you do something like set a date by which the three country choices must be in by. Then you can total up how many countries are choosen and pick the next 3 that way? So for example Wednesday is the cut off date, Thursday the three countries are announced then people have x amount of days until photos for the first country are to be put up.

That make sense?

My 3 choices are:

America/Belgium/Czech Republic.

At the minute we are just selecting the first three countries ie A - C then each week we will do just ONE beer so that gives plenty of time to vote on the next batch D - F (I'd say the middle week for voting). This what you mean matey? Oh and cheers on selection they are mounting up nicely

Can it be in a pub, so long as we have forums in the background on a smartphone? Just that these are some pubs near us that have bottled beers you can't find in shops nearby.
/edit and a loaf of Hovis if required /end edit

I don't see why not, even if has OcUK on a piece of paper just to prove it's not something grabbed on the internet. In the end of the day this is about fun though I'm sure some will be out to win

Once we get the first three countries decided we can iron out any issues with rules.

That's everybody up to date on voting so far. Everything is on first page, an X beside your name confirms you have voted. Please feel free to shout out if I've made or make a mistake.

Does that make more sense mate?

I'm pretty hopeful for the American (if thats what's chosen), but best of luck everyone.

Another question, due to peoples work patterns/real life etc, while I know you want the picture taken at a certain time, is there any way picture can just be take on on that day?
I know I'll be at work this coming Saturday which means if the pictures is mid-day for example, I'd be ruled out. Or if someone is working a late-shift or night shift, they wouldn't (shouldn't) be able to have a beer before going to work.

Sorry I should have removed the 'Posting' a pic on forum part. A picture will still need to be taken with either OcUK forum in background or say a piece of paper beside it, this as mentioned is just to stop anyone (purely for the fun factor ) from grabbing a picture off the internet. This picture will be E-mailed now rather than posted on forum, bit like a secret ballot

This will allow for people who (like myself) work shifts. If we agree a time that the email has to be in by, then AFTER this time by all means feel free to post said pic on forum just for the banter and to prove to others. BUT any that are not in on time will not be counted towards their points total. This sound ok? Only outta bed and winging it...

EDIT: Still only doing ONE beer per week so no sending 3 pics of the countries in one email!
