Potential fun for OcUK beer drinkers...

[DirtyJester]

Would love to be, but off to SE Asia for two months tomorrow!

Maybe next time mate, have a great trip and thanks again for the idea about the email!

 

[DirtyJester]

If we all email the pictures to you Jester, you should them put them all into one post so that they are altogether. We should be able to send you photos from Friday - Sunday.

I've updated RULE 5 on the first page matey, see what you think? I am thinking I'll sit this competition out as somebody is going to check emails and total scores etc. Hardly seems right if I do this and play.

 

[DirtyJester]

I don't think anyone would have any problems with you playing, I doubt that you're going to fix it in your favour. Plus, if all pictures are to be posted then there wouldn't be any scope to fix it.

Those rules look totally fine to me.

OK mate, cheers I want to play.


Right we still need some voting on the A-C countries. Though deffo looking like B is gonna be Belgium

 

[DirtyJester]

Yeh don't count yourself out mate, would be shame after organising it etc!

Yeah, play along
It's only for fun. If you win you'll never hear the end of it though

Cheers guys! If I win it will be a miracle as most of mine will be sourced at local offie

Can I join in? Might not be able to do every one.

My choices

Austria
Brazil
Chile

Just to be different!

Yes Mike I'll get you added and your voting choices, don't worry if you can't do them all as you won't alone in this, and in some ways it will add to the fun

 

[DirtyJester]

When do we start?

Once everyone in the list has voted on the country I see no reason why we can't get the beer flowing (I'd guess next week)

IMPORTANT INFO BIT...

Does everyone's Trust work, and if so can you be contacted via it? I'm thinking about sending the competition email address out that way or would you ALL rather I just posted it on first page?

 

[DirtyJester]

I'm not entirely convinced I'm following the rules, but I'm game for drinking

lol welcome Gilly, you for signing up? If so we need you to have a read on page 1, first post and then vote on your country choice for A - C (safe bet most now though)

 

[DirtyJester]

I have a feeling that seabiscuit is going to be challenging the top of the leaderboard, as well as aceface.

Stop praying you I'm sure you be there or thereabouts

 

[DirtyJester]

Armenia - Belarus - Cameroon

Excellent! I'll get you added

 

[DirtyJester]

BTW Belorussia is the former name for Belarus, so it should be in 2nd (though it doesn't affect the place of choice ofc)

Apologies Gilly.

 

[DirtyJester]

Just adding some friendly competition.

This is what it's all about matey, having a laugh and for some of us trying different beers. Pure win win

 

[DirtyJester]

I've got my beers. (Well, got 2 but got the 3rd one reserved).

One is a guaranteed 3 pointer, I'll bet money on it .

Let's hope the countries don't change...

I trust that if we do England/Scotland/Wales/NI/Ireland or the UK as a whole we are outlawing homebrew?

Homebrew is NOT allowed, as for anyone that has still to vote or maybe signup Please keep in mind what Ahleckz has just said when it comes to your country voting


Updated the Rules on Homebrew (first page, good call there mate)

 

[DirtyJester]

So you think we should have a new thread for the competition or just go with this one?

 

[DirtyJester]

Nice new thread would be good, maybe use this one to pick the countries.

Yeah might be a good idea that


EDIT Oh Ive sent out the email address we will be using to everyone that has Trust enabled, if you didn't get it let me know.

 

[DirtyJester]

I'd make a new thread, but reserve a few of the first replies. That way, you could upload the pictures into them so they are nice and organised?

Yes matey you read my mind Damn this doesn't bode well

 

[DirtyJester]

Didn't have trust set up but I do now, sorry!

Not a problem mate, I'll send it now. (Done)

New thread created but keep everything in here for time being

 

[DirtyJester]

OK, you lost me

Ohhhh! I was wondering why auto-correct on my mac was fighting me on that one, it seemed to insist Belorussia was still a place... (it holds most the cards in spelling arguments with me)

Apologies Gilly. In my haste I didn't even see Belorussia in the list

 

[DirtyJester]

Looking forward to the weekend now with this. Will be heading out after work to scout out my local shops see what I can pick up.

Might not be this weekend though matey, depends of the rest


Everybody received the email address ok?

 

[DirtyJester]

Yes.

Received the email address. Thanks. Should be good.
Are we also putting our own tasting notes/thoughts/if we'd reccomend, or is it just a photograph?

Cheers guys.

The purpose of the pic is just to prove what has been purchased / selected. Once the agreed time (will be posting this soon) for email entry has passed by all means feel free to post the pic in the other thread and I for one will be very disappointed if people aren't talking about the pros and cons of each beer within that thread. After all that's what this is about

 

[DirtyJester]

yes rec'd fine. why create another thread, i say keep here or is the new one for pictures only ??

Yep received the email, thanks.

Too late thread created. The other thread will be easier to keep total score etc etc updated with having a couple of reserved slots on it.

Other thread: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=22411790#post22411790

Keep any questions etc in here for time being folks and thanks for letting me know.

Oh and everyone have a read through the rules / guides see if it all makes sense?

 

[DirtyJester]

^^ Just trust you details again matey
