Scavenger Hunt 2014
Rules
This game is going to follow standard scavenger hunt rules for the most part. I've made a list of things, and you have to go find the things and take pictures of them. Some of the items on the list are specific items, however, others are attributes of items, such as color or texture. This game is going to be different from others in that a single picture can fulfill multiple requirements from the scavenger hunt list.
For example: If you take a picture of a basketball, it fulfills the requirements for Basketball, an orange item, and a rough item. 3 items you can now check off your list.
Due to the forum format, you must have some sort of sig or signature item in each picture, to verify that it is, in fact, a picture you took. For your first picture, you must use your forum name and the date. Subsequent pictures can use only your forum name. If you wish to use a signature item, include that item in your first picture. All players are required to post their dated signature within the first 3 calendar days. Anyone who does not will be removed from the player list.
Scavenging pictures of items off of Google is not allowed. Pictures of pictures are also not allowed. Items must be real. Toy representations of items are acceptable. Please do not post any pictures of a questionable nature. All pictures should be family friendly and safe for work.
Players are allowed to post a maximum of 1 picture per calendar day. The first player to check off every item on the list is the winner. There is no particular order required for completion. This allows for greater flexibility and convenience than my previous format. There is no minimum posting requirement, but if I notice someone hasn't posted anything for about a week or so, I'll consider them as having quit.
When posting pictures, please state in your post which items on the list you intended to fulfill with the picture you took. this will make it easier for me to track the completion status of all the players. To bring back the previous example of a basketball... A picture without any statement, I will not count. If the player merely labels it "basketball", then it will only count for the basketball requirement. If the player labels it as "basketball, orange", then it will fulfill those two requirements, and so on.
Any given picture can contain multiple items, and fulfill as many requirements as you wish it to. This is intended to reward creativity.
If there is somehow a tie, with 2 players completing the hunt on the same day, There is a point system to decide the winner. If players are requested to take a picture of a car, then a real car is 2 points, and a toy car is 1 point. Pictures which fulfill multiple requirements simultaneously will receive bonus points. The point system is only relevant in a tie situation.

@GagazetSK, That kind of foam was not what I was thinking of when I wrote foamy... But it is foam, and by definition, is therefore foamy, so I'm going to count it. :P
