Scavenger Hunt 2.0!!!! Reply with quote
Quote:
So after PDXLAN 11 and the Scavenger Hunt Guppy, Naggingwife, and Stormy went into a cave and tried to feel shame for what they had done and what they had brought upon the PDX community. It may have been the wildest and craziest competition in PDXLAN history, going where no competition had gone before(off campus), but was it worth it? Worth seeing contestants run themselves ragged, trying to figure out how to cheat, running around on the WoW Sen’Jin server begging for someone to give them some gold… shaving their heads, joining the local bowling league….oh yeah, it was so worth it. After a while(20 minutes) the bribes ranout and the only way they could figure to get more Starbucks, Jamba juice gift cards, movie passes, ski equipment and subway punch cards, was to do it again! So after realizing we had no shame, we dug up some photos of Vector doing “stuff”, and did our own bribing of Demented, so now we’re back!

PDXLAN 15 Scavenger Hunt the sequel: More Trivia! More pictures! More competition! More bribes! Its your favorite off campus competition, only new and improved!

If you’ve ever been tired of being pawned in tournaments because you haven’t taken up residence in your mom’s basement, here’s your chance for revenge. No gaming proficiency required(ok-well maybe a little, this is PDXLAN)

Competition requirements

An insured, reliable automobile
A licensed and insured driver over age 18
A digital camera with a flash(and a way to download the pics)

Competition suggestions
A sense of humor
Starbucks cards
A knowledge of the Portland metro area
Trivia knowledge
A platypus(don’t worry, they don’t do much)

PS It should be noted that we (Guppy NaggingWife and Stormy) are not PDXLAN staff, as such in no way attempt to live up to their (PDXLAN staffs) stellar professionalism or morals. Consider yourselves warned and be ready to hold on for the ride.

I dont remember forsure but at 14 they did this. You have to go out and get things on the list. We didnt do it but i remember reading things like a 00.1$ recept for gas and like napkins from a cretin restaurant. It was a really big list of random stuff.

The scavenger hunt at 14 was nothing compared to the one at 11. This one has you go out and do things, take pictures of your group doing these things, follow clues to other areas, has a ton of trivia you can answer for extra points. Plus there's the actual scavenger hunt part where you go find things.

Sorry for the off color humor and your concern. I assure you that 99% of this is good clean fun. There will be a few surprise announcements Friday night about team make-ups, but nothing that should require a razor Smile.

As i recall, vector made a lot of gold that night.... one of the "bribes" was to give him X amount of gold.

also, everyone needs to remember to read the rules all the way threw. I Didn't partake in the hunt but I was LoL'ing at everyone running around the center shouting

Scavenger Hunt 2.0 photo turn-ins video Reply with quote
For those that missed it or want to see it again, I posted it via youtube the team photo turn-ins for the PDXLAN 15 scavenger hunt. Props to GuppyHunter, NaggingWife and Stormy for hosting the contest. Glad I could help out with the video.

I've not posted here much and not allowed to link due to that, so you'll have to search for it with key words like PDXLAN 15, scavenger hunt, my youtube name tekkmun, etc.
