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 (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!

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.

Eris · « **Reply #2 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.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #3 on:** 31 Jan 2009, 20:05 »

This sounds like fun.

Lunchbox · « **Reply #4 on:** 31 Jan 2009, 20:34 »

Shit Han, you and Ben are at such an advantage already. I'd get Jimmy on it but despite living in the same house we never actually see each other, and Gilead lives on the other side of Sydney. Buhhh.
(I'm totally up for #1 though, I am pretty sure I could stage a tournament even.)

Team Siblings? Count me in!

Also, do Jens and I count as baristas? We make coffee at the bakery.

i might be up for this if michael is too. two people working together would make it a lot easier.

BRITTANY. GET IN THIS THREAD. We totally need to do this together.

RedLion · « **Reply #16 on:** 01 Feb 2009, 08:44 »

I would totally do this...if I had a camera that my computer recognized.

valley_parade · « **Reply #17 on:** 01 Feb 2009, 08:45 »

I need a teammate.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #18 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.

tania · « **Reply #19 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.

Tyler · « **Reply #20 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!

tania · « **Reply #21 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?

Sox · « **Reply #22 on:** 01 Feb 2009, 08:59 »

I will team up with somebody I feel is dedicated.

pen · « **Reply #23 on:** 01 Feb 2009, 09:10 »

I tried to use bobby pins as whiskers, but they wouldn't stick properly. =( I may try again later.

tania · « **Reply #24 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.

Lines · « **Reply #25 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.

tania · « **Reply #26 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.

Gemmwah · « **Reply #27 on:** 01 Feb 2009, 10:02 »

Oh it is so on that you guys will not know what's hit you.

I dub this my triumphant return!
The words "on" and "like donkey-kong" come to mind.

I wonder if I can convince my friends that this is a rad enough of a thing to do. I hope so.

Professor Snuggles · « **Reply #30 on:** 01 Feb 2009, 16:03 »

I will not be participating, not because this isn't awesome (this is totally awesome!) but because I am lazy.

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?

Tyler · « **Reply #33 on:** 01 Feb 2009, 17:27 »

Dumpster.

They exist at your local convenience stores, fast food joints, and other retail places.

Metope · « **Reply #34 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.

jhocking · « **Reply #35 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.

Lines · « **Reply #36 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.

Liz · « **Reply #37 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.

sean · « **Reply #38 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.

Man, Aztex and Jon, neatness counts. Your rooms are a mess!

Inlander · « **Reply #43 on:** 02 Feb 2009, 15:01 »

Wait, is it tidiness of the bed or tidiness of the room that counts? Adjudicator!

sean · « **Reply #44 on:** 02 Feb 2009, 16:18 »

A tidy room as well as bed should earn you 5 extra points.

Team FGO (that's Fargo to you non-residents) has drawn up a battle plan. Here are our first two submissions:

i might do one or two items just for fun, not to win. but as a whole i am very interested to see how this turns out in the end!

vegkitkat · « **Reply #47 on:** 03 Feb 2009, 08:03 »

I really, really want to do this. However, I can't quite do all of these. If you want to work with me, can you PM me? I'm pretty awesome.
