Weekend Giveaway Nonsense

By on 10-10-2008 in Competitions / Contests

Its here, Its now its FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the pure dead mad mental weekend GIVEAWAY………………………. this week I said NO GARBLED IMAGES, I did not fib… It is infact going to beΒ  da da daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, a treasure hunt………

Now this is going to be a strange one, because I really don’t know if it will work…. I hope its not another disastor…

Piracy aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr

I am planning a little tag treasure hunt, the rules are quite simple………….

I will set out a list of items or a theme, you have to send me a link to a LICENSED and CORRECT tag that meets the item or theme.

For example, If I ask for say 1. Christmas theme, then I would expect a nice christmasy tag, either snowy etc or with christmas trees etc…….. now I plan to try to police this myself…… so please bare with me…. lol (setting self up for a fall here)

Also if I say fish in it, then obviously the tag must have a fish.

RULES:

There will be a list of 10 items to find a tag to meet, you will reply once with all ten items in it so that I dont have a pile of single lines multiple times by lots of users.. I expect this to take you some time and the prize will reflect this…

1. You can not submit the same tag/snag twice for different answers. (this includes where the tag is identical apart from the text) I will also dissallow copies of the full lists, for example if I put up a list of ten items, and then Suzy copies the list then the first occasion of the list will count, and the later repeats DQ’d. Stop people copying!!! We want none of that!

2. One entry per contestant only.

3. I and Suzanne will make the final decision wether the tag meets the requirment or not (please justify spurious ones with your explainations to possibly sway our decisions…)

4. This may run until Sunday night if we dont get more than ten entrants..

5. I will put all correct entries that meet the 10 requirements on the treasure list into a hat to draw the winner and two runners up.

6. The winner will take away a $50 usd gift certificate, The two runners up will both receive $25 usd.

7. Fun is Mandatory!!!

8. You can make the tags or link to someones tags as long as they meet the Terms Of Use.

9. Good Luck.

10. All Tags must have Suzanne’s artwork in it. (egg on my face if I forgot that rule!!)

THE TREASURE HUNT CHALLENGE

Tag Treasure Hunt

*Mr G runs about with bum pointing at camera shouting “have I got a clue?”* – For anyone who watch the “Treasure Hunt” TV Series.

Here are the clues for you….

1: A potentially Dangerous Creature (Indicate why it is dangerous)

2: A HAT (Remember the T.O.U.’s)

3: Ghost/Ghostly theme.

4: An Old Worn Out Boot.

5: Item(s) of Fruit.

6: The Word “Fridge”.

7: A Single Stripey Sock.

8: Boys.

9: Tennis.

10: Clocks.

Thats your list, get hunting…..

I hope you can keep your lists amusing and clever and witty, I will be about for a while to deal with questions etc, questions do not make up a guess, only a list of ten items in a post will count as an entry, numbered 1 – 10 with the link to the tag.

You may post a link to a tag to discuss it with the rest of the blog as either a what do you think about this? etc.. but it will not be counted as an entry….

Best Wishes, and happy hunting you gorjuss pirates yarrrrrrrrr..

  1. Hi Mr G πŸ™‚ Do we email you our answers or post them here?

  2. Post them here, as I say if its a list of 10 numbered links it counts as your entry…

  3. good one Mr G !!! This will be fun

  4. ok ? they do not have to be tags we make itt can be a tag someone else has made right? πŸ˜€

  5. Two of these are proving really difficult :omg: hehe

  6. ok this is fun and interesting
    good one Mr. G πŸ™‚

  7. Probably a dumb question but…

    Since I don’t own a blog or a webpage can the links be of my photobucket or fotki page?

    I think it’s gonna be really fun looking at all the entries.

    Good Luck everyone!

  8. Kimber something you make, or something someone else makes Is fine…

    Puzzle Photobucket and fotki are fine, the key thing for all is that they all meet the TOU..

    Its a bit of fun for all…

  10. It is after 3am and i have just finished my treasure hunt challenge.I notcied that some of the links aren’t clickable argh πŸ™ Perhaps if you put them into the browser they will work? I so hope after all my “hard work” i have doen everything right :blush:

    Good luck everyone!

  11. notcied??? noticed! I’m tired! Forgive me πŸ˜€

  12. Cool contest, Mr. G! Thanks for setting this up for us!

  13. have another ? if we have tags that are on our photobucket say like i have 3 of the tags on mine is my entry gonna be DQ’d cause the url for the tag is same as another one does that make sense

  14. i hope i did everything right

  15. So can we email you through etsy with our answers? I don’t have a blog, etc… πŸ™

  16. “O CAPTAIN! My Captain! Our fearful trip is done; The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is…

    So, my question is, with exception to #6 that specifically requests the word “fridge” – do all of the others need to be images, or are they acceptable as words, too? For example, does the clock need to be an image, or may it be a word?

    I hope that made sense. Aargh! XD

  17. I’ve sent my answers to your etsy account! I hope that I win! πŸ™‚ Thanks! πŸ˜€

  18. Im totally lost .. dont understand any of it lol…typical me huh? good luck everyone xxxxx

  19. Twilight, just post them here, the site may block them as potential spam but I will put them through, may take a little time.

    Words for tags? Well thats not particularily creative!!

  20. Lorna, its like when you were at School, you would get a list of items to find out in the playground. Like a leaf, a twig, a piece of litter…etc and the winner would be the first person back with all the items on the list…
    Well here Im looking for you to find tags that match the requirements or that you’re able to explain why it should be considered a match for each of the 10 criteria.

    then just list 1 – 10 and put a link to each tag at the relevant number…

  21. Kimber It won’t get you DQ’d unless your using the same tag for two or more answers…

    πŸ™‚

    Twilight your answer are prints, which I will take a look at to see if they match, but these are not tags… have a look at some of the links above to see..

    Dont worry about it, I will judge them the same πŸ™‚

  22. hmmmmmmmm this needs thinking about lol ok

    1)A Dangerous Creature: Im going with the butterfly, after reading this http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Butterfly im sure you will agree lol tag is on this url http://www.got-milk-tutorials.co.uk/flutteringbutterfly.html

    good luck everyone XD

  23. Aarrgh! I knew that didn’t come out right. πŸ™ I meant like wordart. Would the word, like “clocks,” as wordart or text count on the tags or must those be all images? Thanks!

  24. When do we find out if we have won?

  25. You said that we’re not allowed to copy full lists… if we’re stuck on a few may we borrow one or two? Or must we find all of them ourselves?

  26. Here’s my attempt..had to borrow Kimber’s “fridge” image because it is impossible to find that one!

    1: A potentially Dangerous Creature (Indicate why it is dangerous) – A bear is definitely dangerous because it will probably not think twice if it sees a delicious human! Also, the TEETH and CLAWS!!

  37. No time to look this weekend for me, we are busy having a festival but I am peeking in to see how everyone is doing… amazing….. you all are amazing. Waves to Grant and Suzanne – Good Michigan Morning…. Hoping everyone is doing well. Have a great day- maybe I’ll get some free time soon but it is not looking like that will happen. ( Poof- disappearing ). Hugs, TammyJo πŸ™‚

  38. I wish I could play but just no time this weekend – I’m doing tag Octoberfests for 2 boards and also working on some stuff for my sons’ school plus making favors for my neighbor’s baby shower … but it’s a fantastic contest, very unique and so fun to see what everyone comes up with! I can’t wait to see who wins, good luck everyone!!!!

    XOXOXO

  39. I know I’m probably terribly late at this but I still wanted to try. I had so much fun just searching. By the way, my princess’ 2nd birthday was a fabulous success along with the (college) football party for hubby. Our university won. Go Broncos! 5-0 this season!

    Ok, someone has studied my blog. LOL So, I made a couple of new tags with some help of fabulous friends who weren’t as busy as me and uploaded them to my Photobucket. I hope all of the links work.

    Here is my entry:

    First of all I’d like to thank all you tut writers without whom I’d probably never started playing in psp.

    I’ve only been psping for a few months and I really like it. Almost all the tags I’m submitting have been done this weekend and since I’m really slow I just couldn’t make them all.
