Photo Treasure Hunt Tag Game!
rules:
volunteer to play.
I'll start by being the director of the first item/whatever.
the first volunteer has to get a picture or pictures of what I tell them to....then post it/them...
then they get to direct the next person. and so on.
nothing too dangerous or illegal, k? honor system....original photos only...no googling.
who's my 1st huckleberry?
ok...zippy....
get me a picture of.......
a rusty bucket
I Could say this is a bucket ,
But it is a wash tub ,
Now here IS a bucket , not that rusty ,
full of cannon ball sized bearings,
I will have to work on this
cool looking bird on a feeder
merc, for clarification...
this is stevedallas's shot to take
not just finding a pic online.....original pics only....
you can volunteer to go next if you want.....then steve will tell you what to photograph......so, uhm.....get your wife ready....i'm sure it will have something to do with her...
which makes me wonder if a NSFW version of this game is inevitable?
which makes me wonder if a NSFW version of this game is inevitable?
Well it is now...
sloooooowwww...
I suggest that once the subject is posted, that it's open to all dwellars to post a picture, that they have taken, of that subject. Then the poster of the picture bats into the air the subject of the next photo.
cool looking bird on a feeder
Taken at the Woodland Park Zoo May 2005.
Do we have to make more rules? like a time frame or something?
if it's going to be open floor, then first come first serve....
might get frustrating if youre out taking a special shot, and someone beats you to the punch
also, might fade away if someone forgets its their turn....and doesnt get the shot.
ALSO....a picture you already have shouldnt count.
the point of this thread was the 'treasure hunt aspect of it.
if it's going to be open floor, then first come first serve....
Good! Agreed.
might get frustrating if youre out taking a special shot, and someone beats you to the punch
Agreed. Shoot faster.
also, might fade away if someone forgets its their turn....and doesnt get the shot.
Hopefully, the previous two points will render this unhappy possibility moot.
ALSO....a picture you already have shouldnt count.
the point of this thread was the 'treasure hunt aspect of it.
Dude. It's *still* a treasure hunt, for me.
Well, I guess that means I pick the next pic. Cool.
I spy with my little eye....
Something underwater that shouldn't be underwater.
if it's going to be open floor, then first come first serve....
it's still steve dallas's turn, V. I was busy at work when i considered the open floor possibility.....as I reflect on it now, though, that destroys the whole point of the thread. which is for one person to challenge another to go get a NEW picture of something.....
not to use one they already have....
i mean....the 13 things threads, the random pic threads, etc all cover that.
cool eagle, btw. but....let's do this the way i imagined when i started the thread.
Steve dallas gets to decide who goes next.....be it merc or you....after he posts his cool bird on a feeder.
ok?
I definitely think pics you've already taken shouldn't count. Levels the playing field and all that.
Hmmmmmm.... kay. The time frame thing is what makes it difficult to participate.
yeah....if people are gonna take a really long time to get the shots...or if the shots are particularly difficult to find......
i have faith in SD though......
::jabs steve in the ribs::
Why not make it a 24 hour thing, and if you can't do it in that time, someone else will get the gong to find the shot.
This works because it'll make people move quickly (when ever they can) because a) they want to have the right to name the next object for the next person and; b) if someone else snaps a cool one while they're waiting 'just in case', it means they'll get to take over the mantle.
Just a thought, but I don't intend to participate, so it's up to those who do.
OK...
Something in your home, that no visitor has ever seen.
Cool topic, I have something in mind, but I've been slapped by the "CLEAN YOUR ROOM" fairy, soo, it'll be just a bit longer until I get them up. :D
So I don't get it, who is up and what is the subject?
ARGH! I had a whole post written out and then I pressed backspace but it went back a PAGE instead! Now I'm tired and grumpy, I'll retype and post tomorrow
To answer your question merc, I'm up, and my subject is "something in your home, that no visitor has ever seen" which will be posted tomorrow after I roll out of bed.

I've done the backspace erase button mistake, and you know what? The "forward" button on the browser control bar
restores the post I've written.
Did reading that make you happier?

I won't speak to your question about relative happiness, but I will say that in Firefox, your technique does *not* restore my post.
Seems to work for me, V. In Firefox, that is.
still sleeping then? slug. get up!
I'm in firefox too and I tested it on that post (and this one) to be sure.
:firefox:
I used the forward button, and there was no post to be found, I assure you.
Anyway, I'm up now...here's my entry:
My dad gave these to me a looong time ago. He collected them on the beach with me when I was younger I guess.
Baby horseshoe crabs tend to get up too high on the beach during low tide and dry out leaving these perfect little shells. Around the penny are also baby conch shells from egg sacs which wash up as well. These aren't so much a secret from others, but they're important to me because they came from my dad and they're very fragile, so I keep them behind my lamp on my side table...thereby nobody gets to see them. (And, my dad has seen them, but he doesn't count as a visitor because he lives here.) :D Enjoy!
Ok...who's next?
Wow, I've seen horseshoe crabs before, but never small baby ones like that. I was wondering what that "big disk" in the middle was until you said it was a penny! Coolness!
typing in this box
then clickin outside this box to change the focus (because inside this box backspace only does what it's expected to do)
type type type
After some experimentation I think the crucial difference is this:
Your technique works when in advanced reply mode.
Your technique does not work when in quick reply mode.
Please confirm.
Ah, spose I forgot that our non-american cellarites may not know how big a penny is, since it was only there for size reference....for you guys...uhm...well you can see a bit of my keyboard in the background of the first shot, I assume keyboards are more or less the same size...
(Working on an idea for Kitsune...)
No, I'm a merkin, but I just didn't realize it was a penny because I was more focused on the crabs. :lol:
Yar, not you, but your post sparked that potential issue in my brain s'all. :)
Kitsune - An unusual reflection.
Kitsune - An unusual reflection.
I like it! I'm off to look...
We have horseshoe crabs all around our place. We have to go by boat to get there but they are everywhere. I never saw any that small. The ones we see are bigger than a dinner plate.
Kitsune - An unusual reflection.
Passing by a vehicle, I see a vision of myself as the massive waistlined employee that my horrible IT job desperately wants me to be.
Next?
don't knock it.... as long as it comes with a proportionatley bigger unit.
So how is this thing working, whose turn is it and what is the subject?
So how is this thing working, whose turn is it and what is the subject?
You spoke up, so I guess its your turn! The subject is: any printed sign with a misspelling, grammatical error, or punctuation mistake. Extra points for Engrish or misuse of apostrophe's.
is LJ on your ignore list or something? re read post #1
then re read the one(#9) i addressed specifically to you explaining it again.

What, did I screw up already or were you directing that at Merc?
How about a nice game of chess?
What, did I screw up already or were you directing that at Merc?
it was to merc. but you probably fucked
something UP
it was to merc. but you probably fucked something UP
Well, if Merc doesn't take it I'm turning the subject selection for the next volunteer back over to you so you can fuck it up proper.
Ok, being this is Georgia I know I can find a fucked up sign. It may take a day. I'll be back. First let me check my folders.
Folders of existing photos? I think you have to take a new photo for this game, don't you?

YEAH KITSUNE!!! SHOW YOUR EXIF DATA!!!!
:chuckle:
This is just like playing games at Christmas with the family!
Like when we were playing Pictionary and Great Aunt Alice guessed (in the category of PLACES) that my drawing of the Statue of Liberty for New York was..... "Errr, lollipop?"
I am entertained, more pleases.
YEAH KITSUNE!!! SHOW YOUR EXIF DATA!!!!
Only after we get to know each other a little better, first.
You going to show me yours?
hahahhahahah.
no way I'm touching that one. I've been chastised severely once already in this thread. I'd much rather sit back and watch the carnage. cool pic by the way. You have a good eye,
no. that isn't headed in the right direction.
I really like your photographs. I like your composition, and your skills at the technical aspect of getting clear, sharp, viewable (wrong word, but ... marginally adequate for my purposes here) are superior. your pictures are an inspiration to me. Seriously.
I also enjoy following your thoughts as you direct my eyes with your pictures. I like how you observe the world. I think I would enjoy a picture taking trip with you. We might not cover many miles but we would see much.
hehehe... sure. I'd be happy to show you my exif data. I would be happy to learn from you.
Folders of existing photos? I think you have to take a new photo for this game, don't you?
Yea, but who would fucking know?:blush:
Only after we get to know each other a little better, first.

He's just playing hard to get, BigV. Trust me, his ISOs are very nice!!
I also enjoy following your thoughts as you direct my eyes with your pictures. I like how you observe the world.
Wow -- thank you. I'm very flattered by this. Thank you, sir.
I think I would enjoy a picture taking trip with you. We might not cover many miles but we would see much.
Should you ever end up down this way, drop a line. I'm always looking for a good excuse to put down some highway miles.
Yea, but who would fucking know?:blush:
That's the whole point here, it's a cellar game, we're going on the honor system under the assumption that we're all capable of being nice to one another and being fair. Please play by the rules or don't play.

Who would fucking know, that is the point. I can play with anyone I want.
:sniper:
AHH go play with Your Self then !!
No, this is more fun. I have all you guys to play.
"10:41:44 ‹Razz› merc should go choke on some vomit" Come on Razz, don't be a pussy.
10:25:30 ‹Razz› I wanna bitch out merc on his thread
28/11/2007 10:25:42 ‹monster› goon then
28/11/2007 10:25:47 ‹Razz› but I prefer him to do it, because they're just gonna be like "shutup its not your game"
28/11/2007 10:25:47 ‹monster› nothis thread any more....
28/11/2007 10:26:08 ‹monster› once it's out there it's a free-for-all
lol, cute, but if you want to lurk around in chat let's argue there instead hun, since that was the entire reason I posted to ask you to play nice or don't play...I don't want this thread ruined because it's cool.

Fuck that, if you have something to say, say it where everyone can see it.
Well I don't have anything else to say, I said what I wanted to already so I guess we're done then. :)
Everyone can see the chatroom, sweetie
grow some balls
Suggest those who like LJ's rules stay here, those who want archives allowed and fastest first treasure hunt start a new thread. There is no charge for that...... ? those who like both can play in both. how's that for everyone wins?
Well I don't have anything else to say, I said what I wanted to already so I guess we're done then. :)
Well don't be such a pussy about it. I was yanking your chain before your comments in chat, which really have no problem with, but if you have a problem with me say so, that way I can tell you to fuck off in public and everyone else can see where your attitude is coming from.:D
Everyone can see the chatroom, sweetie
grow some balls
I have them that is why I called you out on it you big pussies.:D
Ok, fine, if you were honestly yanking my chain, then I apologize as I've just gotten home from work and am probably overly sensitive to people being rude to me. I apologize for what I said in chat because it was mean, but the people I was speaking to know me pretty well and would've known I wasn't serious about it. Just pissed me off at your apparent flagrant disregard of the rules which LJ stated several times in the thread already, and like I said, it's a cool thread and I don't want it to get ruined. So yes, sorry for being out of line if you were kidding.
P.S. I've never had a problem with you before just now, you can ask the chat since I was just talking LAST night about how all of my recent posts have been towards you, so I'm not harboring any secret grudges or anything.
[grouphug]Group hug then. I was taken back by your comments because you have never said anything like that to me before and if you had something to say I just wanted you to say it publicly. Seriously, I was just yanking your chain. I have a sarcastic sense of humor that few have picked up on. So whatever... [/grouphug]

You suffer from Vomerophilia, now that is nasty.

You going to find a picture of that or not?
Awww, they made up, how nice. :blush:
Now, Merc, go and take a photo of a messed up sign.
I wish I had got that task, I reckon I could get ten in two hours. :)

Sorry I will pass. You can find one quicker. I am on crutches and will not be going far fast.:p

Monster is on it.
I don't think I'm eligible for the "sign with messed up English" - mostly because it's not my turn, but also it's just too damn easy for me.
But I will contribute this one which is my favourite piece of Engrish, partly for the content, but mostly for the location: on the coffee machine just outside the staff room of the head office of the language school where I work! :lol:
[ATTACH]15955[/ATTACH]
I have pics! but they're not very good and the sign i had in mind had been removed grrrr.....
just have to feed the kids....
poo. forgot about this last night. they're truly awful in all aspects of quality, but it's time to move on.
My best source of incorrect signs was the old folks home opposite the ice rink, but they had no sign out at all yesterday :(.
Plus my drive by point and shoot skills (such as they are) deserted me and this morning I have no time to do fancy pic editing.
Someone should put up a church sign that reads "monsters got no skill's"
anyway printed: an apostrophe were there shouldn't be in the store name: Super Sud's Laundry. pathetic, but you wouldn't call yourself super Sud, would you? and a church style sign that could use some punctuation "new management welcome" One assumes the staff are not rebelling and asking for a new boss.
I fail.
Who's next.
OK, I'll get one tomorrow. :vomit:
"monsters got no skill's"
In Monster's second picture ... is that Bigfoot standing to the left of the sign?
Oooh Oooh, Tag me! Tag me!!
OK Labrat, how about something purple and shiny.
Oh, now it's a couples thing, is it? My interest may be rekindled...
DING DING !!!
Lab rat its been 4 days !!
And Damn I saw some real good signs today but had left my camera in the car. A local store has redone all their signs with incorrect apostrophes: Linen's, Girl's, Toy's etc :lol:
CRAP!!!
I didn't see this thread Friday, and then forgot I replied till just now. I'm on it, and will refrain from participating again till we get the net at home and I can be better about checking in so as to not kill a fun idea. I am sorry.
No problem , just get a PIC !!
Rember the subject is Purple and shiny
And it IS the Holiday season !! ;););)
12/5/07 .... just sayin'.....
anyone else want to take this purple & shiny pic?
I think we should declare it open season ... provided the photo is taken after the season opens.
In fact, I'd like to see something we can all participate in. How about:
*The winner of the last round nominates the category for the next round.
*Anyone who wants can enter.
*After, say, three days (maybe longer?) the round closes and the nominator selects the new winner as the photograph which best exemplifies the category. Decision final, no correspondence, good sportsmanship, blah blah blah.
*The winner becomes the setter and judge for the next round.
GOTO START
I know its not the original idea of the thread, but the original idea isn't working terribly well.
Cheers? Boos? Let the mob speak forth! :hide:
Alrighty! I would like to play!!! (As long as the treasure isn't an egg from last easter)
:)
I like the Christmas Bunny with Easter Santa!
excuse me......
that feckin santa is blue. where's the [COLOR="Purple"]purple?[/COLOR]
Just chorusing ... ain't that blue?
and what the hell is that bunny doing there? How confused is that?
I don't think it's a santa at all. I think it might be a wise man from the birth of jesus type scenario...hence the bunny maybe?...it's a stretch I know. I don't think it looks purple either, but sometimes colours do get distorted in the translation...also, it could be that limey is colour blind. ;)
You know, sometimes life happens... Thanks for waiting for me.
I see the shine. I see the purple.
Well done!
Well done LabRat!
Now if you would care to oblige the mob...
*The winner of the last round (LabRat) nominates the category for the next round.
*Anyone who wants can enter.
*After, say, three days (maybe longer? LabRat's choice depending on category) the round closes and the nominator (LabRat) selects the new winner as the photograph which best exemplifies the category. Decision final, no correspondence, good sportsmanship, blah blah blah.
*The winner becomes the setter and judge for the next round.
GOTO START
Ready ... set ...
Edit: Psst ... I'll do it for you if you're too busy. Just say the word.
Something that makes a noise that is pleasant to you.
I suggest that once the subject is posted, that it's open to all dwellars to post a picture, that they have taken, of that subject. Then the poster of the picture bats into the air the subject of the next photo.

I **love** Calvinball. What is the latest wrinkle? Who's on first? What is the goal? Where are my pants?
Pick me.....how does this work anyway?
Cicero: Take a picture (yourself) of something that makes a noise that you find pleasurable. Post it, then tell the next guy who wants to be tagged something to take a pic of and post.
hare, hare!
Yes, a hare (I think). But perhaps a rabbit (what was 2000 in chinese years - rabbit or hare? that's when I got him)
Ali is also right in that he's not Santa - he's the old year bearing the new year in his arms.
But he is purple - I'll do better with the lighting next time ...
I **love** Calvinball. What is the latest wrinkle? Who's on first? What is the goal? Where are my pants?
yeah...i give up...it was a vague concept to start, and obviously not gripping enough to stay true to the original vision for long....so....whatever....just please, let's keep the pics original and taken
for this thread specifically.
