Moondance | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 04:03 pm  Vykin ... I was the one who ask about the successful mission if landed I still think Roger should be the captain ... he asked some great questions .. I was guessing but came up with some good therories. |
Moondance | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 04:05 pm  Sorry... I felt ignored |
Roger_Ramjet | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 04:07 pm  I'm thinking the Host cut off questions because we'd ask ones which would nail down the answer exactly without discussing with our inmates----er, I mean BGs (hehe, just goshing about the inmate thing). I'm not too concerned who our "leader" is on this one. Tali is the jet jockey---I think that counts for something! Anyway, there is only 1 thing for sure the "leader" would do--that's post our final answer (which we will all come up with anyway) on the answer board. The only other thing the "leader" in this might do is break a tie if we are split about what answer to give the Host. I'll let you guys decide who you want to be "leader'--although I'd apprecaite giving Tali consideration. My main concern is that we get the challenge right! Being right doesn't suck! Of course neither does being happy! Hey, everyone, want to join me outside??? |
Roger_Ramjet | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 04:11 pm  Mon, if I didn't give you credit for asking about the mines/traps, I'm really sorry--I meant to say that you aksed. I definitely want to let everyone know that all of us played a part in getting to this point. And yes you did come up with this train of thought out of the blue--and I'm still impressed! |
Moondance | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 04:17 pm  Thank you Roger Ram ... I knew I loved you! Kisses |
Roger_Ramjet | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 04:24 pm  Hey Moon--come outside and join us! The more the better! We can discuss more of those topics, or just sit back and take 5. Love to have you join us outside..... |
Himay10ns | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 04:47 pm  Ok, the General just flew over a banner and this is what it said: 1) The pilot might be flying a Harrier Jet which makes vertical takeoffs and landings, therefore terrain would not matter so much for the jet, but the pilot would definitely want the rough terrain so he could hide from the enemy after the landing. 2) If it's not a Harrier Jet, the pilot should make a GEAR UP landing and slide right in. Again, the decision for the rough terrain is to conceal himself until he can be rescued. 3) The cows....plain and simple....protein. |
Zebulon | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 04:57 pm  Hi all...I'm running a bit behind today but I've just been brought up to date by going over everything so far. Let me run my opinion by you and see what you think. It's been established that the flat land area has military equipment on it that is a weapon and is hidden. My guess would be mines since it's uninhabited land. The rough terrain contains animals running all over the place and if any mines were to be present then there would be Roadkill Stew all over the place. My guess would be that the pilot landed in the rough terrain because it would be a safer area stripped of any possible landmines. What does everyone think about that scenario? |
Roger_Ramjet | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 05:04 pm  Zeb--that make sense---as we were thinking, the pilot had to feel one of the areas was less likely to be mined than the other--unless the pilot knew for sure, live animals vs. no animals gives a clea dorection in my mind as well. Want to join all of us outside??? It's nice, and the BS session is going great. I think once we get everyone together, the apparoch to how to answer this will pretty much fall and hit us on the head! Hey, we aren't bad as a group, are we!!! LOL! |
Moondance | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 06:11 pm  zeb ... I came to this conclusion already a few threads up But I am glad someone is on the same wave length! |
Xenia | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 06:43 pm  After reading, Zeb's wording of this explanation, I'd agree that it makes sense. Obviously, the landing has to do more with whether or not the area poses unforeseen threats than it does about which area would make for a better "technical" landing. To be honest with you guys, this scenario is beyond my realm of knowledge or imagination. I know nothing about aviation or the mechanics of it or even about military operations. I'm going with the theory that rough terrain means no land mines. |
Xenia | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 06:44 pm  Sorry, I meant the livestock on the rough terrain means no land mines. |
Roger_Ramjet | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 06:46 pm  Well we have about 1/2 of us that have chimed in. Now where are the rest of us???? |
Zebulon | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 07:43 pm  I had to chime in on Discussion Topic 2. I'm heading Outside now to join everyone. I look forward to it! |
Vykin | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 08:16 pm  I suspect also a Harrier jet, and agree with Zeb, cattle would be hamburger if area was pitted with land mines |
Arreal | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 08:22 pm  You all are doing so great. I really wish I could help out more. Can I get anyone anything, a beer? |
Zebulon | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 09:10 pm  I think we are all trying to speculate too much on details like exactly what year, make, and model plane it is when it's the situation they want us to evaluate. I noticed they cut off the questioning, so I would propose just use a simple answer from the info given. You have my opinion on what I believe the situation to be, and while I won't say that I think I'm right...I will say that I'm HAPPY with my assessment. LOL! |
Zebulon | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 09:13 pm  Do we have more beer tonight? I'd love an ice cold Shiner Bock. The one I had last night got warm when I forgot about it during the challenge. I drank it and 10 minutes later I initiated activity of the bathroom cameras. <still trying to locate everyone else in house> |
Vykin | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 09:31 pm  Zeb you piss tank!!!! |
Xenia | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 10:04 pm  Do we have enough guesses now so we can compile them and pick one? Have we even decided on a leader? It's between Roger and Tali, right? |
Moondance | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 10:45 pm  <Moondance learning to stand up for herself> Okay, I posted this earlier this afternoon: Moondance Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 01:56 pm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Plus ... some times when A military leaves or abandons a camp or landing site they will leave landmines so it can not be inhabited by others Moondance Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 01:57 pm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ There would not be land mines where the cows are! I am just feeling completely invisible! ... I know they were not long posts but I came up with the land mine theory and it not being where the cows were inhabited ... others are being credited for it ... I just needed to be heard ... Thanks guys! This is not my expertise so I was so proud of myself for coming as close as I did! |
Roger_Ramjet | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 10:51 pm  Moon--you ok?? I agree that you came up with this and thought I had said so on a couple of discussions?? If you feel you aren't getting dues credit and it's me, say so up front please (I can admit to doing something wrong) If someone else isn't giving you credit that you can name specifically, I hope you let them know face to face--say nothing, and nothing changes--I don't think (at least I hope) that someone would intentionally not give you (or anyone else) their due credit. Give 'em hell--especially if it's me screwing you over!! Anyone seen Tali to find out if she's going to lead, or any of the other BG to get their input??? Go team BG!! I think we've got this one in the bag?? |
Moondance | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 11:11 pm  Hi Roger Ram...Sorry my computer is so slow tonight and I tried to find you earlier to say Hi.... LOL You were the only one that gave me credit... It was just was weird that I said these things and Zeb repeats it and people (not you) chimed in and said they agreed... Just me learning to stand up for myself I know it's a team thing but I really thought about this challenged and tried ... that's all. No matter what ... I want us to win! We need some more imput ... Tali ... Ryder? |
Luke | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 11:40 pm  Hey guys... sorry again for the late start... What can I do to help? Your posts are awesome, RogerRamget (and everyone too)... still gotta get caught up... so much to read! |
Talisker | Sunday, October 08, 2000 - 02:01 am  Roger, if you are still awake, meet me over here to see if we can talk about this challange. I will be here for a while writing something up. |
