Game One Has Started – It’s Rock Paper Sciscors

Looks like Ze Frank has actually worked out what to do with his crazy idea. The first bout of the Color Wars is going to be some glorified electronic game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. Here’s the guide to submitting your move – everyone on the team needs to submit one if they can.

Take a picture of yourself throwing either “rock”, “paper” or “scissors”.
It must be clear which of the three you are throwing.
You must be in your team uniform (do your best).
Upload your photo to Flickr and tag it like this:
rsb:move=yourmove rsb:team=yourteam rsb:player=yourtwittername
(for example rsb:move=rock rsb:team=blueteam rsb:player=zefrank)
Submit a link to the flickr photo below or at http://www.colorwars2008.com/rsb

Make sure your pictures are submitted by midnight New York time (EST) and good luck! Let’s loose amazingly badly at this one, everyone.

A quick note to let you all know that Team Tartan is now happily registered with ZeFrank on his ColorWars site. You can find us here at http://colorwar2008.com/teams/tartan. Now, at the moment we’ve got 68 followers. At the very least, by the time the Easter holidays are over on Monday night, I think we can should easily be on 100 members. Get pillaging and find the followers for @Tartan.

Years have roll’d on, Lochnagar, since I left you!
Years must elapse ere I tread you again.
Though nature of verdure and flow’rs has bereft you,
Yet still are you dearer than Albion’s plain.

England, thy beauties are tame and domestic
To one who has roamed over mountains afar
Oh! for the crags that are wild and majestic,
The steep frowning glories of dark Lochnagar.

Welcome to the Clan!

The Twitter Colour wars (we spell it the right way!) are coming, and if you want to survive, you need to be part of Team Tartan. Joining up will save you, in two easy steps

1. Follow @Tartan on Twitter.

2. Show your love for the team by adding the Tartan to your Avatar – how you do it is up to you, be it a solid blck, a background, or a subtitle (download the tartan background in JPG form here).

Now get a nice bottle of whisky, settle down with some Bagpipes, Haggis, Neeps and Tatties, and prepare for… well.. we’re not quite sure yet. Just be proud that we’ll be crap at it.
