Scavenger Hunt! - WINNERS POSTED!
 

Hey guys! Welcome to the Scavenger Hunt, where you will need to use your wiles, imagination, and photography skillz* to play a game and earn fabulous prizes! The contest will go for the full length of the event and conclude midnight on the last day of the event. So go out there in the big wild world and start hunting, my friends!

Check below for how to play, prizes and the list of items!

*You do not actually need photography skillz to play.

CONTEST WINNERS

How to play:

• There will be a list of 50 'things' you have to find. These will range from household items to things in nature to things on the internet, etc etc. To play you need to be able to take a photograph and post the image online.

• Once you have found the item(s), take a picture of it with a card/piece of paper with your username written on it somewhere in the image. If you do not have your username present somewhere in the image, it will not be counted.

• You may use the internet to find an item five times, max -- to do this, either print out the item and take a picture of it with your username as normal, or take a picture of your computer screen with your username present somewhere.

• You may take a picture of more than one item at a time to conserve time/space. Be sure to label it accordingly when you turn it in, include all item numbers.

• Please note that items do not have to be from your household! They can be from anywhere: a friend's, a relative's, even a business or school or store or anywhere!

• There will be a 'wild card' category with a very basic 'treasure' (say, an orange fish) and you are allowed to interpret that as you wish. (For instance, you could take a picture of a Goldfish cracker for 'orange fish'.) Same rules above apply.

• To keep things organized, I ask that you turn in images either all together once you have found all you think you may find, OR in groups of five at least.

Please upload your images to a common image upload site such Photobucket, Imageshack, imgur or Flickr.

This sounds like a lot of fun
I'm definitely going to try first thing tomorrow morning

oh /hell/ yes owo<3 i need batteries, i can get like 30 of the hunt items in about half an hour

DOING IT. 8D *runs off*

We have a scavenger hunt again!? I LOVED THIS DURING THE NOX EVENT! *Runs off*
Wait.. NOOO!!! LUCID IS A MOD NOW! D= And she was my game buddy...

Edit: *Actually reads the thread.* Wait.. This isn't a site wide scavenger hunt!? DXXX DISAPPOINTMENT.

I have alread ytaken around 20 pictures. I will be doing this >3

..... I so want to do this. Very much in fact.
My parents will think I'm so weird taking pictures of random things with a paper that says "Ultima" XD

-reads the list for doable items-

*regrets my lack of camera* Q~Q

Good luck to those participating! *throws confetti*

Fixed a mistake and added two numbered items I forgot!

Apparently I am unable to properly count to fifty at 1 in the morning hoho.... >u>;;

Can't wait to see what you guys find!

So tempting...but so time consuming. Not sure. Maybe. I think I want to do a cateogry or two just for fun!

Yess join in the fun! :D

I'm thinking I might post up a few of people's wild card images towards/at the end (with permission) and show off errybody's creativity
It'll be like a little gallery show

I'll do the wild cards at least. Those could be fun. :). Can we put multiple ideas into one shot?

I wish I had a camera :/ It would be very fun to participate.

I'm suddenly very glad I found out how to get my phone pictures onto my flash drive!

I love scavenger hunts! Also, I do happen to have photography skillz. I am so totally in. 8|

Can I use this as my username card? xD

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z...ius-baltar.jpg

I am excited to see some works when this is all done and said. 8D

I am incredibly jealous you own that >u>
Haha but sure you can! Since you've posted it here

Lacry - me too! I'm thinking of making a special photobucket to hold everybody's entries and then posting it at the end so we can all enjoy them
I expect some to be amusing ones!

Can I send extras? I am going to Gen*con this week, and it would be hilarious to take random snapshots within the perameters of the hunt. Even though they wouldn't be for my original submissions.

You sure can! I'll post those up as extras, if you're cool with it. That sounds like it would be fun
Oh man I'm jealous too, I live in Indy but I've never been able to go to a GenCon b/c I *always* work the entire weekend its going on. Sighhhhh

Awww yeah. Get ready for some fantastic con photos~ >:3

I have never had a chance to go before (I live in the Chicago Area), but my roomie was all: HAY I BOUGHT TICKETS LOLOLO takin' ur car ftw.

And I was all: :D YAY wait WHUT :V

xD Hah!
Roommates, volunteerin our cars without our knowledge
Where would we be without them

(probably saving gas money >:U)

Free hotel, free ticket... and he is paying for gas. I C NUTIN WRONG WIT DIS. 8D

It's like a vacation I don't have to pay for. Except food, but my mom is taking me shopping for it today. And paying for it. SO. Really... I made out like a bandit. |D

!! ho damn you did
that is gonna be a sweet road trip for sure!
Hey if you guys want a really good place to eat (a smidgen on the pricier side but nothing *too* terrible, less thatn $15 a person if I remember right) I highly recommend Rockbottom for their burgers because they are so good -- least they were last time I went there.
...a fewwww years ago lol

Oooo.

With my luck, we will go there and get burgers and it'll be all gross and stuff. I'll sign online to be like: REM. YOU LIE AND POISONED ME. D:<

Thanks, Rem. :D

Actually that particular photo isn't mine. I googled it 'cause I was at work, but I do own the Battlestar Galactica board game and, with it of course, the Gaius Baltar character card. ^^

And now that I am at home, I can start this!

I'm so doing this right after I get off talking with Illusion. o uo

My partner probably thinks it very weird that I am running around the house taking pictures of my Gaius Baltar character sheet. Should I say why or just leave him to his confusion?

I sayyyy...tell him! He should be amused by it at any rate! And then maybe he can help :D

Help is allowed? Well all right then. Perhaps I will.

I mean you have to take the picture of course but others can help you find items/pose them/hold them up/be items, etc. Yes, you def don't have to do it by yourself :D

Yep, I understood that much. We might make it a team effort finding all this stuff. ^^

Looking forward to it!
....I feel like I forgot to reply to someone's post in here somewhere...lol
I do that all the time

I'm halfway finished with this! Got all the easy ones out of the way anyway. ^^

On an unrelated note, I love the song in your signature. <3

v....v i got sick, still don't have batteries

I would lend you mine, choco. Probably too far away though. :( Also your avatar makes me smile.

Gaius - Oh awesome ~ Yeah some of them can be really tricky. I hope I made them all fun though, regardless~
and oh man this song...this song was/is like my life song for awhile, but there's so many bittersweet memories tied up into it I actually can't listen to it anymore without getting really depressed heh
The whole band actually. Which...kind of sucks they're freaking amazing and all xD

Choco - Aw! D: Well there's still a little time left. Tho I hope you get well really soon
