Go play with your nipple.
Oh my head, I'm laughing so hard it's ridiculous. I think this thread is definitely fun if for the sarcasm alone.
Thanks fun173 I'll be happy to do so.
Renewed, I think you should put together some clear rules to clarify what we've experienced and like we do in the other games on this forum add them to the OP so everyone who comes along will have a reference point.
While I understand that we don't have to do Apple stuff I kind of like keeping with the Mac theme of the forum in general and with my experience doing scavenger hunts in the past there are always a few harder items on the list. So...
Post a pic of the Restore Disc(s) for any Power PC based Mac. For clarification you can post either one or both discs if you like. Make sure the pic also includes either a piece of paper or something typed on a screen showing MR Scavenger Hunt, the date, and your username. As this is being posted just after 9:00 PM US Central time and it's on a weekend the deadline for completion is Wednesday October 5th at 9:00 PM US Central.
Good luck everyone.

Added it to the OP. We absolutely need to work on the rules to make them more clear. I mean this thread is mainly for fun so obviously the basics need to stay but let me know what y'all think about the new rule and if the other rules make sense.
Obviously we need order so if it's ok I'll make the final decision on what goes in and what comes out of the rules but obviously y'alls opinions count a lot.

How do you get October 5th? The official rules state 3 days. The OP was only sharing an idea in his post.
And if anything, shouldn't "weekend time" be less, not more? To renewed, do you object to having "help" with Emma Stone, as well as modified rules to better move this thread along?
It was part of the challenge and part of the original rules. This is so you can't use a old photo.
Anyway arguing detracts from the game.

Well most of the people I know on here are more active during the week than on the weekends.
And what does a B list actress have to do with anything.
The point is the date. If it is typed on a notepad on a computer screen or on an iPhone's note program then it does its purpose.
It was a reference to the movie, the Help.
Ah ok. Guess I'm out of the know
Well yes we need to discuss rules. I think the base is pretty set but little instances like what just occurred we to discuss how to handle it.
Here, finally owning a crap ton of macs is paying off
Next challenge if this counts: Any apple product next to a bottle of windex.
Don't do the darn challenge until this is okay'd though, if you post it before mscriv okay's this it will not count.
so, does it have to be the brand name windex? or can it be any blue glass cleaner?
so, does it have to be the brand name windex? or can it be any blue glass cleaner?
any blue generic crap will work
See my edited version of that post. You can't post the picture until mscriv okays my picture. Retract the picture and when he okays it then you can re post. If someone beats you then they get the point.
Ughhh...you know, this thread is rapidly becoming irritating. If the picture you posted is not in dispute and is clearly following the posted challenge, what is the point of waiting for one particular person to come and approve it?
YES, I agree with you completely.
Why does the challenger have to okay it? Its not like grading an essay, its a simple pass or fail. Anyone with decent judgement can tell whether it passes or not.
Get rid of these road bumps and let this thread actually move.
renewed, come on. You're finally here, and what... you didn't accomplish anything. Please adress the issues at hand. This has become irritating for many people. This is your thread. Make likemyorbs or a Peace a moderator please. Peace is always active and is a nice guy, likemyorbs is direct and gets to the point. You could use the extra help.
Point!
I dont care about the rule change if it happens but I need to state that the picture does not count because I stated it wont until it is okayed. if we decide that the picture does not need to be okayed then I will post an equally easy challenge.
Ok well let's go by popular opinion here and keep it moving, this is just stupid. Someone go ahead and respond to my challenge. I'm not even keeping track of points, this is just for fun. Let's stop taking it so seriously with all the rules/approval BS.
No, here is what should happen, since this popular opinion BS seems to fly in here I will post a new challenge because the circumstances under which you posted are not fair, you disobeyed the rules of my post, and since I completed the last challenge successfully, I get to make the rules. So deal with it.
Next challenge, post a picture of a tissue box next to any apple product.
Edit, I was responding to orb's post. it's not fair if his picture counts because I said to wait to post until ti was verified. It's unfair to moyank who seemed ready to complete the challenge but followed the rules.
So if two people okay my picture we can move along, downing my posts does not count as an okay
