i know you really want to do a treasure hunt, and i guess i was thinking of a
scavenger hunt and was like how do we conceal stuff inside the site. but perhaps we can ask someone to find some obscure reference in a thread somewhere. i have a decent idea for a question, but it would take me ages to sift through and find it, and the winner would just be doing the same what i did.
the other day me and my new girlfriend (only until next week when she leaves for the other side of the world) were driving down the road and seen this guy who just had to be a mormon recruiter. she goes but don't they have name tags and travel in pairs? i said maybe the name tag was part of somebody's scavenger hunt and his buddy took off when the mugging was happening. it was hilarious at the time but in transcription i guess it's not as amusing.
maybe we can actually manage a scavenger hunt, like find and quote a post that meets a certain criterion for each item in the hunt. ie a post with a cuss word, a post from a spammer, a post with a "hidden (
wheat) message", etc... good idea? to quote them all within the contest thread, just press quote as if to reply to the thread it's in, then copy that (so you get the backlink to the post in the quote bar) over to notepad/word so you don't lose them and paste them all into your entry in the contest thread. even if that's complicated, scavenger hunts are supposed to be hard...
what you guys think?
