Title: QC Scavenger Hunt 2009: The Rescavenging.
Post by: Tyler on 31 Jan 2009, 19:36: Simple concept. The only tools required is some manner of camera or camcorder. The first person or team to collect all of the items, or with the most points by the end of the time period wins. You may team up with ONE other forumite. Items may be added depending on interest and active participation.

A few simple rules:
All photos must be taken for the scavenger hunt! No recycling. No photoshopping.
Post the pictures as you accomplish things. I will keep a running team score on this post.
If you can bend the rules in a creative way, that is ok!

The List! (things to photograph/record):

1. You arm wrestling a barista or bartender over the counter of their workplace (15 pts)
2. Grocery shopping in a bathrobe (5 pts)
3. A tiny sculpture of yourself made of edible materials (10 pts)
4. Playing a board game on some manner of public transit (bus, train, trolley, etc) with another person (10 pts)
5. You reading a copy of the Lord of the Rings while wearing no less than 10 rings and a crown(5 pts)
6. A police officer throwing up the horns (http://www.boingboing.net/images/_images_ACFB8.jpg) (15 pts)
7. You dressed in formal wear and waltzing (10 pts)
8. Your computer mouse properly dressed as an actual mouse (5 pts)
9. Your bed completely made with someone underneath all of the blankets(tidiness counts!) (5 pts)
10. Empty containers from two competing restaurant chains made to do battle with each other (10 pts)
11. You checking out a book at a public library with shoes on your hands (10 pts)
12. Someone carrying no less than 10 balloons (5 pts)
13. A long formal letter written to another forumite about the state of politics in Mongolia (10 pts)
14. A repeat from 2007: You tutoring someone in chemistry (10 pts)
15. You and no less than 3 other people doing the dance from Thriller (10 pts) (Bonus 10 pts if you are all in costume)
16. Someone showering with an umbrella and raincoat (10 pts)
17. A janitor/maintenance worker holding a sign saying "This is #17 on the scavenger hunt" (15 pts)
18. You in a dumpster (5 pts)
19. A personally baked cake with icing dedicating it to Peter Lorre (10 pts)
20. A sign saying "Out of Order: Do Not Use Until Exterminator Arrives" on a piece of office equipment at your work/school (10 pts)

Good luck! All items must be in by MARCH FIRST!

Post by: Boro_Bandito on 31 Jan 2009, 19:49: Man, for some reason that list looks actually rather doable if I can manage to find a camera that isn't connected to my computer.
Title: Re: QC Scavenger Hunt 2009: The Rescavenging.
Post by: Eris on 31 Jan 2009, 20:03: Do we get double points if there are more than one person doing something? An example would be two people going shopping in bathrobes.
What will the prize be for the winners?

Also, you guys are all going down.

(I'm totally up for #1 though, I am pretty sure I could stage a tournament even.)

Post by: Barmymoo on 01 Feb 2009, 08:51: I am completely on this.

I've got my sociology teacher in on it, she has been emailing me suggestions all afternoon. Is that allowed? She is not a forumite.
Title: Re: QC Scavenger Hunt 2009: The Rescavenging.
Post by: tania on 01 Feb 2009, 08:53: a lot of the items say only that they need to be done by or include "someone", not necessarily you, so i think that is okay! the challenge (i think) is just that you have to somehow find your own way to take all of the pictures and get them in. i think i might be enlisting the help of a couple of friends in this too.
Title: Re: QC Scavenger Hunt 2009: The Rescavenging.
Post by: Tyler on 01 Feb 2009, 08:54: You can use outside people to help you all you like, so long as it is a forumite either in or taking every picture. You cannot have your teacher do items without you.

Also, it is cool to team up with forumites you have no physical contact with!
Title: Re: QC Scavenger Hunt 2009: The Rescavenging.
Post by: tania on 01 Feb 2009, 08:57: so in something like item #15 (you and no less than 3 other people doing the dance from thriller). the three people can be people not on the forum as long as you are also in there?

Post by: tania on 01 Feb 2009, 09:16: a friend in guelph has already gotten back to me confirming that he will be willing to take pictures of me and/or pose in pictures for me. another friend has yet to respond but i think he will say yes too. yes, i am very dedicated to this.

darryl, if michael does not want to participate in this with me i will team up with you.
Title: Re: QC Scavenger Hunt 2009: The Rescavenging.
Post by: Lines on 01 Feb 2009, 09:55: I honestly can not wait to go to the grocery and library.

Also - I am getting a meat life friend to help me take photos. If she needs to be a forumite, well, I'll have her become a forumite.

Post by: tania on 01 Feb 2009, 09:58: me too!

i really hope lots of people decide to participate in this. my desire to win is pretty tiny in contrast to my desire to see all of the pictures everyone else manages to come up with.

History tells us that the force is strong with this one.

As for me, I am very interested in a couple items (in particular pretty much anything that involves making something) and not at all interested in some of the others (no I will not get in a dumpster). So, I would be down with partnering, but I don't see myself starting on this list solo.

18. You in a dumpster (5 pts)

Not sure where there is a dumpster in my area since we give our trash to the attendant at the dump, and he stands behind a counter. Do large trash cans count?
Title: Re: QC Scavenger Hunt 2009: The Rescavenging.
Post by: Tyler on 01 Feb 2009, 17:27: Dumpster.

They exist at your local convenience stores, fast food joints, and other retail places.
Title: Re: QC Scavenger Hunt 2009: The Rescavenging.
Post by: Metope on 01 Feb 2009, 19:02: Oh god, all the dumpsters around here are locked, and the only one I have the key to is so gross. Since we are a team, is it ok that only one of us does this? Jens is gross anyway.
Title: Re: QC Scavenger Hunt 2009: The Rescavenging.
Post by: jhocking on 01 Feb 2009, 19:27: Really though that is only 5 points. Just don't do that one.

EDIT: no wait throw jens in and then lock it. I bet that would be worth bonus points.
Title: Re: QC Scavenger Hunt 2009: The Rescavenging.
Post by: Lines on 01 Feb 2009, 20:08: Man, some dumpsters are not that bad. I have been in one before. And if they are, that's why galoshes were invented.
Title: Re: QC Scavenger Hunt 2009: The Rescavenging.
Post by: Liz on 01 Feb 2009, 20:17: I climbed into a dumpster not too long ago, but that was because I accidentally threw my keys in while I was taking out the trash.
Title: Re: QC Scavenger Hunt 2009: The Rescavenging.
Post by: sean on 01 Feb 2009, 20:22: Whoo i have team sean ready to go (me and meatlife friends). We will probably not get the most points but we will do rad things anyway.

Jens is not the first one to be inside of it. It belongs to the mall we work at, and when the lady who works in the record shop went to throw stuff in it once there was a Chinese man hiding inside of it, pointing a flashlight at her.

Title: Re: QC Scavenger Hunt 2009: The Rescavenging.
Post by: Liz on 14 Feb 2009, 07:41: He's also super tan, so he probably fake bakes. Never a good sign.
Title: Re: QC Scavenger Hunt 2009: The Rescavenging.
Post by: Metope on 14 Feb 2009, 13:09: I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the bartender isn't really that cute. Don't get me wrong, he is okay looking, but I've been in that place a million times and he always looks extremely bored. Something about that is just unappealing. His tan doesn't look fake though so that's something at least.

Post by: Liz on 14 Feb 2009, 15:07: I think maybe I was just judging his complexion against Kris, which probably isn't fair.

Post by: Metope on 14 Feb 2009, 15:19: Yeah, that's probably it. Everyone who is feeling a bit down about their pale winter complexion, come stand next to me and we'll take a picture. I can guarantee it will look like you've just spent a couple of weeks sunbathing on a tropical island.

Him and Binnie were webcamming at me last night, and he threw up the horns while he was wearing his police hat, but I wasn't quick enough with the printscreen skills.

Also, apparently you can't take photos of policemen because of national security or something.
I do not even know.
