The semi-annual Neocodex Official Battle of Attrition has begun suddenly and without warning (except for the status update I just posted)!
 

THE RULES

• I will pick the name of an item. When I post the name of the item, you must locate it by any means necessary and take a picture of it. The only requirement is that the item is real and not something you found online. Post the picture in this thread.
• Don't spoiler tag your submission, re-size if needed. It's faster for recounts. No micropics either. If I can't tell what it is you aren't getting credit.
• You must do this within 24 hours of the timestamp of my post. Submissions past the deadline do not count, even if I have not posted a new challenge.
• For every item, you must either be in the picture with your face present OR you may include a sign pic with your username on it. If you choose to do a sign pic, you must write your username clearly on a piece of paper (or use a self pic) and turn it into an ALL the things meme . This pic must be the same pic used in every picture. If I doubt your pic then you will be disqualified.
• I reserve the right to audit suspicious pics by requiring you to submit additional information about it.
• If you change your username in the middle of the contest and I get confused and you lose points because of it, it is your fault and while I will probably correct it after you point it out to me I will still harbor contempt for you.
• This contest is open to all users.  Yes, even my husband.
• I reserve the right to change the rules at any time and make them retroactive if I think that it makes the contest more fair.
• Each successful challenge is worth 1 point. This is not an easter egg.
• Challenge #1 will be open indefinitely through this contest, but others will not. Once a challenge is closed you will not be able to score points for finishing it.
• You can enter this contest by doing challenge #1. No need to PM me.  You can enter the contest at any time during the contest by doing challenge #1.
• You will not be eliminated if you fail a challenge, you just won't score points for it.
• The player with the most points at the end of the contest wins.
• In the event of any ties, the player who completed the most challenges consecutively without failing gets the advantage.
• New challenges will not necessarily be posted every 24 hours on the dot.  Please don't freak out if it's been 26 hours and there is no new challenge yet.

FK YEAH SCAV HUNT TIME! Bring it (Will get my clock asap)

Such a charmer

[Rocket]

wooo my first scavenger hunt!!

 

 

edit: just realized the clock is dead D:

[KaibaSama]

Somehow we still had an analog around.

[Adam]

Awesome, thank you for hosting this Nymh!

 

Hopefully this analog clock cleverly attached to a wrist-band is sufficient enough. 

[Honchkrow]

Is this acceptable? I'm not too sure what you mean by turning my pic into a 'All the things meme'.

I'll take it.

You need to draw the picture of the meme and write your username on the picture.

^anyone who has seen my deviantart account... this is totally predictable. 

[Karla]

Pardon my hair...

Could you explain 4? I know you already repeated yourself... but still not in the green.

Can't participate.

I regret this picture already but w/e

[Honchkrow]

Here it is with the meme if my other one isn't acceptable.

Damn I need a haircut. Hope this works, because it is the only clock in my apartment.

That is a digital clock. An analog clock has arms.

[Tetiel]

There's that meme she posted. You need to draw that meme on some paper along with your username and use the same one each time. That way we can be sure you didn't just google a picture or get a friend to take the picture for you.

For those who may not know, this is the meme you will need to draw: 

[Rocket]

Can we post with our face or the meme, like say for instance I'm having a horrible face day and would rather use the meme sign pic, can we do that?.

[Keil]

EDIT: Bah, ignore this, I read too fast and I thought it said draw anymeme

[Chalk]

Draw the meme? I don't want to sound too stupid, but I don't see that drawn in any of the pictures.

 

 

Edit: Or is the commonality that is being emphasized?

Except of course it's in lieu of including your face.
