Okay, it's time for (wait for it...)
ROLE'S FIRST SEASONAL SCAVENGER HUNT! Each season, due to Role being bored, she will send people off on a scavenger hunt. Each season will have a different theme, and thus different rules. Entries that do not abide by those rules will be thrown out, and the winner and runner up will have their results posted for all to see. The overall rules are simple:
- This is an image hunt. You are to search the interwebs to find the pictures. You are NOT to commission the pics - you are to FIND them.
- WORK SAFE PICTURES ONLY. I cannot stress this enough. We are not a porn site, I do not want porn. If I get it in my inbox, you will be reported, banned, and killed (not necessarily in that order).
- Multiple entries for a single person ARE ALLOWED. You don't have to send me an "updated entry" or something stupid like that - just send in another one.
- If the hunt calls for a pic of a person being harmed, you don't have to worry about how graphic it is. Do note, though, that if it's too extreme, I will not post that picture if you win.
- This is a SCAVENGER HUNT. You don't have to get every pic that is asked for, but a higher completion yields better final results - if you can't find a few of the pics that you have to look for, that's fine, don't fret, just send me what you have. You must have at least two things from the list, though. And again, the more the better.
- Quality is just as important as quantity. A person who only got half the things on the list, but had all high quality images, will have just as good of a score as a person with all images gotten, but with a lot of crap-to-meh-quality images.
- ENTRIES ARE TO BE PMed TO ME. Any entries posted here will be ignored.
Okay, got it, good. So, let's get to business....
The first Scavenger hunt will be a fun one: ELEMENTAL CIRNO!
A meme going around the internet is to draw Cirno with an element other than ice. So, why not take advantage of that? Here's what you'll have to do:
:Venus: A variant that can fit with a theme of Venus
:Mars: A variant that can fit with a theme of Mars
:Jupiter: A variant that can fit with a theme of Jupiter
:Mercury: A variant that can fit with a theme of Mercury that ISN'T the normal ice version.
:Neutral: A fifth variant of your choosing. Again, cannot be normal Cirno.
There are two additional rules for this quest:
- All pictures must be perfectly square. That is to say, the length and width of the picture must be the same. For example, 600x600. or 999x999.
- Images must also be greater than 300x300 - anything smaller will be refused.
- Images CAN be cropped to meet the 1:1 ratio requirement. However, all actual entries that you send me just be just as high as they are wide - they cannot vary by even a single pixel. When in doubt, open the pic and check for yourself.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Also, general discussion of the scavenger hunt can happen here, as well as suggestions of future quests. Also: YES, there are prizes - and they're winner's request. They must be within reason, though. I'm not going to pay for a $50 commission you want done, nor will I do something that'll reveal personal information.
Two sample pictures have been provided for you. No, you may not use these in your entry.
This is the most interesting post thread in a while. No offense to the community
That's why I made it. To bring interest back, and get people active.
Due to lack of participation and for personal reasons, the quest is ending prematurely.
As promised, the winning entry:

Sorry for the various sizes... they're all square though.

Alright then, five is exactly what I found and these are the only ones that looked alright with resizing.

Congradulations to Hoopa, the winner of the contest. However, since the contest had to end prematurely, I'm afraid the $20 prize is forfeit. HOWEVER, for your participation, both Hoopa and Kain win the free badge commemorating the event. Please send a PM to Charon so as to get her attention on the matter. ASSUMING, OF COURSE, THAT ANYONE CARES. For all I know you may just have to buy it. After all, as Atrius LOVES to point out - I have no power here. Nope, I'm just the only person who actively tries to contribute. As if something like that matters, right?
Good luck getting the free badge, you've earned it, but nobody cares about my opinion, so I guess it's up to those people who actually HAVE power, huh?
>Took second place in a picture contest. ACHIEVEMENT!
That's what I'm picturing right now...a pointless, internet medal that doesn't even MEAN anything, let alone has any form of value. And what's crazier is I told you to put pic number 3 for the Fire Cirno and pic 5 for the grass one. But whatever. Go get some sleep. You'll feel better later on.
So you complain about forum games and then the next topic you make is essentially one?
logic/overload
She made this topic last month, she's ending the contest now and leaving for a while, maybe longer.
me = fail overload
I win! ....But you're leaving?! Noooo!
So... Does anyone even know where the badge is that she supposedly made for participants in this? I would gladly give it to you if I had it.
'fraid not. Either she was planning to make it/ has made it and hasn't given it out, or she expected Charon to make one.
Eh? Great, now it looks like I double posted for no reason...
Ah, sorry 'bout that, deleted my post since I found it right afterwards. I'm giving them to you guys now.
EDIT: There, post restored with Admin-magic.
Oh, I see. Yay! A shiny new badge to display. :happy:
