Tag-O-Mania Photo Scavenger Hunt

Are you going to Tag-O-Mania? Do you take pictures? If so, you are the perfect victim to take part in this very easy, sure to be very fun adventure. This is a self-paced game, not a group meet. You simply have to take pictures at your leisure and post them per the rules below.

If you are interested in playing please sign up here.

Please indicate if you wish to receive the list of potential pictures via PM or email. If you want the list via email, please PM me your email address.


RULES

You must be the owner of the pictures. The pictures must be taken during your stay for Tag-O-Mania, and may be taken at anytime during your entire stay for Tag-O-Mania. You must post the pictures on the thread that I will create after Tag-O-Mania. You must also give a description of each picture including any and all details of the events surrounding taking the picture. Each picture will have a point value and the winner will be the person with the most points. In case of a tie, the winner will be whoever Moley and I like best.


PRIZES

YES, there will be prizes! Valuable prizes! I just haven’t determined what they will be yet. Maybe an armored car full of gold bricks will roll up to your house. Maybe Oprah will present you with a Nobel Peace Prize. Or maybe it will be an 8x10 glossy of Moley.

But trust me, whatever they turn out to be you will cherish these prizes for years! At the very least you are guaranteed bragging rights for the next year.


HOW TO PLAY

Shortly before Tag-O-Mania I will send the list of items to be photographed to each person that signs up. To keep it simple and since the site only allows 25 pictures per post, I will limit the hunt to 5 pictures per park with a couple of “Bonus” pictures thrown in for “Fun”. You will need to find and take as many of the pictures as possible. You might want to keep notes about the pictures to be ready to write about them per the rules above. Shortly after Tag-O-Mania, I will open a new thread for you to post your results.

[Moley]

I have my new Lumix and should be able to figure how to turn it on by then! :genius:

[Cruiser]

Dear Sir John of Niagara,

Will there be any wax lips or wands involved in the competiition?

[Jellyrolls]

I'm up for the challenge.

I wonder what the value of an 8x10 glossy of Moley is on e-bay these days?

[WDWNJ]

Dear Sir John of Niagara,

I'm not making any promisses, but the premise will be to take pictures of things you will need to find.

PRICELESS!!!

[SusanL]

count me in please, you can send via email or pm whichever is easier for you.

Thanks for putting this together.

[Bookwood]

I think I'd like to try to do this one too!

OK - added you both to the list. Thanks! :mickey:

[Jellyrolls]

I have to say, though, if one of the pictures is to get a picture of Moley sitting on the potty or something, I'm out.

Oh no! That one's been done too many times. I'm trying to come up with fresh new ideas.

[dinkybean758]

Interesting!! I'd love to do this, so please add me. Thanks. :)
I prefer to have the instructions via PM here, thank you!!!!!

[Cruiser]

OK - Questions...

Do you guys want to team with your spouse or go individual? I personally think it would be fun to see the differant pics you each come up with if you have seperate cameras. But, it's your call. Let me know.

:mickey:

[zakerdog]

I'll go on my own John - thanks.

[Cruiser]

I'll go on my own John - thanks.

Have I been snubbed? :confused:

:D

[BetsyAnn]

Have I been snubbed? :confused:

:D

That would be my take on it but heck John encouraged it!:lol:

Sign me up!

I am going on the record now to say that letting Moley and John break a tie may not ever end a tie!;)

I will simply and discretely point out that Mr. Cruise signed up for the venture on his own first.

Welcome aboard Betsy! Glad to have you. :mickey:

[ripkensnana]

Since we each have our own camera, I think the "on your own" approach would work well....Of course, I take better pictures than he does, and I'm much more clever at writing captions ;)

[WDWNJ]

OK Carol, sounds like a plan! :mickey:

[Tagrel]

OK - vacation is over and its time to think - TAG-O-MANIA! :yahoo:

And this sounds like a perfect fit for me... Well, picture TAKING at least... How stringent are you on the whole - provide a description of each and actually ever post them - thing? :peri: I promise to try! (Is that good enough?) :please:


And WOO HOO on the 'whoever Moley and John like best' thing! I'm a shoe in! or else... :viking:

Its good to be the Webmaster! :lol: :D

[sjh801]

If I find my camera before Tagomania, I may try this. Since I returned from Tagomania last year too many "bad" things occurred and I haven't felt like taking any pictures since then. It is probably still in an old carryon or purse. Had to rely on my cellphone and my sister's camera this last trip.

Anyway, I'm a maybe. ;)

[WDWNJ]

Dave - Rules is Rules! Got you added...

Sandy - find that camera, and more importantly find that ole' happy go lucky Sandy! Looking forward to seeing you again. You are on the list and I expect to see pictures... ;)

[sjh801]

...find that ole' happy go lucky Sandy!

She's around here somewhere. I misplaced her about one year ago next month. I am seeing glimpses of her every once in a while. Think she may be stuck in one of the many boxes of "my life" I have had to pack. ;) She's the one who is looking forward to Tagomania!

[Donald is #1]

Can you please add me to the list? I just booked my trip down today!

[WDWNJ]

[Ursulinda]

Please add me to your list - I think I can do this :) You have my email, don't you?

[WDWNJ]

Got you added Linda. I don't think I have your email, please PM.

Ha I am flying, he is driving!

[WDWNJ]

To the brave souls who are signed up, please PM me with your email address and the date you leave for Tagomania.

I thought I could send the clues via PM, but I was wrong. I will need to email you the list.

For you slackers that are not signed up, you are going to miss a good time and a chance to win valuable prizes....

Send me those PM's and get in on the fun!

Hooray! I actually did find my camera...finally...inside a pillow sham!!!:shock: And as I watch Leontyne Kitty try to chew on the strap this morning (and the corner of the laptop :rolleyes: ) I remember why I "hid" it away months ago. But, it is now ready to be packed for real!
