Turn up the Excitement on the Train ride home!

I heard about this game from a mate of mine and i thort, that is fuckin genius!.. how could i make that better? lol.. TY floyd and ur spontaneous game generation ideas.

So it goes like this, ur riding the train with a friend, its stopping all stations and u have to go past a number of stops until you actually get where you want to be. You start at the extreme back of the train in the last carriage. When the train pulls up at a station that isnt yours you get off and leg it down the platform as fast as you can, before ducking back into the door and walk your way back to the end of the train ready for the next station.

The idea being: every carriage you run past is worth 1 point, the more carriages you run past the faster ur score runs up but the more you run the risk of being left on the platform as the train pulls away.

You can also earn bonus points by weaving in and out of consecutive carriages or doors.

I thought of having a page online where you could log on and record your scores for a certain rail line or station such as the team with the metro-bmx game, but im not sure how reliable it would be. Seeing as scoring takes place over a relatively small distance and with weaving between carriages and bonus points it would be hard to record. You could have a witness or "spotter" to say ur acheivements are legit but it doesnt really have the same credability as say a GPS log.

  1. maybe we could use pedometers to record the distance and just work out how long each carriage is or something?
