Re: GB Mendip Wezzit?

Not entirely sure other UKCaving forum contributors will be happy with the notion that Facebook chat rooms operate within the sense of fair play and spirit of the Wezzit game. A conversation or correspondence with third parties elsewhere on the interwebnet/pub/bus queue doesn't quite cut the mustard.

And is there any chance you would honour us with the answer of where you took the photograph? It's kinda the least you can do, surely.

Originally I agree and we were not going to count it at all - but considering everyone is stumped and apparently at least someone wants to get all pissy about it (spirit of the game? please), I've had enough so I choose to pass the ball on to the closest.

I took it in Oxbow.

Gobsmacking. Someone who isn't taking part gets to win because of a conversation you had elsewhere with them and you pass the baton on before even revealing the answer. Clearly you misunderstand the term spirit of the game. Perhaps you should leave this forum alone.

Fine then. Who said GB first? Let them post the next photo.

Look, you're pissed. I get that. But stop taking it out on me. Fact remains: YOU didn't guess where. And telling me to leave this forum alone? Wow. Just...wow.

I like this game and will continue to try and guess. Maybe a photo will come up that I recognize. Just because I manged to stump you, doesn't make me a bad person. Get over yourself.

Stupot posted GB first. Therefore you feel it is his turn next. That's fine. Happy for the game to continue.

Studpot then, if people are happier with that. Contrary to some belief I'm not here to cause trouble, just stump you sillyblind :p Afterall, isn't the point of the game to try and stump people with photos of caves you have to guess where it is? ; )

So I'll steal the sig of cool cave photographer from earlier, "Less arguing, more pictures!"

Betcha didn't.

Whatever.

You lose the argument.


Reason: teenage petulence ::) :LOL:
Haha I'm 24 but know what? My mom said a few months ago that I'm acting like a rebelious teenager - I decided that I like wearing skirts! Oh and sometimes I put red dye in my hair (temp dye). Oh I also got a job as a graduate student and moved out of the house into my own apartment.  I am SO a rebellious teenager hehe.

My comment:
GB Cavern. View from the Bridge looking towards the main gorge, downslope of White Passage.

Amy's response (one of several in a similar vein):
Amy said:
Chris, it's NOT THERE. No need to get pissy at me.

My more detailed response:
cap 'n chris said:
As already mentioned, twice, your photo was taken from the approximate area marked by the red dot, facing in the direction of the arrow, as shown on the survey below.

Assuming I CBA it would be very easy to replicate your picture perfectly and I may well do so in the next few weeks just as an exercise in itself. I would then be happy to provide you with an accuracy for the photo location which is arguably too pedantic by far.

So... revisiting the precise location shown by the original red spot on the survey below, here is the promised picture taken by me which proves my original suggestion was spot on with its accuracy:

5266652795_d8efe144ed.jpg

Photograph taken from this location:
5234552741_f706d82ee8.jpg


Conclusion:

My photograph shows beyond any doubt whatsoever that Amy's original picture was indeed taken from nearby the Bridge in GB, as originally posted several times, despite her "yah-booh-sucks" comments of denial and derision to the contrary. I expect that a refutation will be forthcoming which will state something along the lines that "all the various formations which are clearly identical in both pictures are actually nothing of the sort on the grounds that one photo is ever-so-slightly out of alignment with the other and that Chris's picture isn't blurred and so, QED, must be of another place entirely from that shown in Amy's photo", or somesuch other total bollocks.

Anyone who knows me will be well aware that I'm not particularly amused at being accused of being wrong when I'm right.

Cool pic - much better than my blurry one!
Well now I'm curious as to where the photo went of the curtain that I did find where I thought this one was.  :confused:

I do beg to differ though, it is US: 1 to UK: 1 since everyone assumed I would have no clue what the MC comment was all about  :tease:

Also: WOOT in 2 weeks I leave to go caving in TAG! And you should all come! :D The Christmas Tree will still be lit up (in fact, the group I go in on will help dismantle the decorations and haul them back out) http://www.flickriver.com/photos/realms_of_reality/4165752849/ <- seriously how freakin' awesome is that?!

No shit, really?  :tease:

It actually really amuses me that a mod used their powas to separate out the thread for something that was bugging them and took the time to make this whole new thread. I feel loved. <3
