I think I have also heard of a photo scavenger hunt sort of idea. Any thoughts on this one?
I like the scavenger hunt idea, its just a question of how many people we could get to join in
How do we start a scavenger hunt??????
For a scavenger hunt, possibly pick a list of items to take pics of our Pleo(s) with, set a timeframe to complete the "collection", then the question is how do you determine who wins - first to get all items could make it hard for some to have a chance. Most creative combo of pictures? Points per scarcity/difficulty of item? I would lean towards specific items instead of places since places would be more like the Bob Project and we wouldn't want to take away from that. But as IMR indicated, what items would be common enough to be found in a variety of countries to ensure everyone has a fair chance to play?
Examples of possible items: Traffic sign (40pts); dish of local cuisine (15pts); Favorite book (5pts); another animal (dog, cat, ferret, etc) (10pts); a robotic toy (20pts) ..... and that's about the limit of my creativity at the moment, sorry. ???
@ Gucci, a scavenger hunt would of course require someone to run it. When Melinda heads home on the weekend I will consider how it can be done and see if I can't get something organized :) However given the current levels of participation in site events I get the feeling that it would not be overly successful in the long term, although I will be willing to put up a trial if Mweed is happy enough to let us try it. It could of course work hand in hand with the Bob Project.
I like the idea of the scavenger hunt. But we would need to come up with a fair way to judge that isn't simply the first one to get all the pictures. We have done similar things for birthday parties where we would divide up people into groups of two or three, give each a digital camera and turn them loose at the mall. The trick to make it interesting is to have some of the items not be so obvious (i.e., give clues to what you want them to find so that they have to figure it out. Then when they turn in their pictures if they guessed wrong, they have to go back out and try again. And to keep it FUN, some of the pictures require being goofy and/or doing things that might seem embarrassing (i.e., the kids are at the mall and one of the pictures might be to take a picture with a banana in your ear or balancing a box on your head while riding the escalator or the picture would require them talking some sales person into doing something for the picture . . . ).
But participation is probably always going to be an issue. What we want (when you look at the title of this topic) are things that will get more people active and posting.
EDIT:
I think we need more open dialogue on this Scavenger Hunt. Please feel free and join me in discussing what we would want out of it.

Ideas, suggestions and comments are needed everyone :) As well as expressions of interest.

The idea with this is definitely to have fun and I was thinking maybe it could help encourage more people to get out and about with their Pleos which they could then post about in the experiences section too. I admit I am one who is not too comfortable with taking my Pleos out into public yet but I love hearing about the experiences of others and it makes me think about doing the same.
Using clues to identify some items is something I had not heard of before (my experience with scavenger hunts is pretty limited) but sounds like a fun twist.
If there was one set up, I know a young friend of mine would probably love to participate with me on it.

1. I live in a town that is rural and not as big as many but bigger than some perhaps, the idea of " balancing a box on your head while RIDING ON AN ESCALATOR,' is not going to work for Nova and I , we have a few buildings with Elevator, but no escalator, Could be so in other places too I am sure. Also you have to realize the time of year, and climate with some Pleo Owners could stop a Pleo Scavenger Hunt and some items you may not find in all places, but this is where the points come into play too, I like Shadowmice's idea of common items that can be found in most places. It would be fun to see a Pleo in a photo with pet cat, dog, and then someone else submits a photo of their Pleo with A Kangaroo, or A large Snake or Huge Beetle from some Tropic climate. :D( just no hungry larger than Pleo snakes please,,,,,( tremble, .....)also fun photos would be unique buildings, perhaps the largest building in your town or city, ( that could make for some very interesting views and differences ) Different plants native to where you live, ( Redwoods here where Nova lives, ) Giant Yucca Plants from desert Climates,)
Tropical Rainforest flowers and fauna, Oak trees, Olive Trees, Orange Groves, Trees from the swamps of the Bayou, etc, etc.)
then you can have general photos that EVERYONE CAN TAKE WORLDWIDE, SUNSETS, SUNRISES, MOONS, STAR LIT NIGHTS,,,
THEN I love the idea of taking Photos of Pleos in the Public as well, I do it with Nova all the time and people where I take her on a regular basis, get upset when I don't bring her in, they look forward to seeing her in her outfits and visiting with her. Things like riding the public bus, going to the park, taking her to the local pet stores is also a great place where people are open to viewing Pleos and learning all about them, I will think of plenty more ideas as they come to me.

I applaud you Gucci for all the work and enthusiasim that you spent researching this for the scavenger hunt. I give you ten stars!********** Lets see what others think about your list and ideas.

Thanks for explaining how the internet teams would work, but how could people on the internet at the same time for example, be drinking from one large drink, if there are different time zones and where you may be at a place drinking, the same restaurants are closed because of the hours, etc.?People would have to work all of these things out before hand and to make it fair, people who speak the same language should work together so there is no disadvantage because of a language barrier.
Keep those ideas comming Gucci. :D

Post by: RedwoodsMama on July 24, 2010, 03:10:05 PM
I am round and come in many colors and can be found in sand, water or on greens.
I am a favorite at parties and celebrations, come in many colors, sizes ands shapes, and somtimes change shapes with a little help.
I am used to make things taste better and named after a form of art.
I am with you at all times but you often dont notice me after dark.
Also on the list with the camera you can find things that require a little more looking like taking a photo of A baseball team,
finding a person with a nose ring or piercing on their lip, eyes etc. Someone who has Dreads, Mohawk hair cut or Blue or green hair, ( very easy for Fancy or SF....and also where I live there is a Huge Univesity with lots of people that fit that description.)
How about extra points for a 3 legged dog or cat, or a Telephone booth with at least 4 People in it,( these are harder and you would have to interact with people to get them to do it, and introduce your Pleo. Points for photos of Pleos in PUblic places with strangers in the photo holding pleo, esp if they are the same people that are on your " scabenger hunt list.) A guy with a nose ring and blue hair Mohawk or Dreads and holding Pleo? HOw about Other ideas where people have to interact with your pleo in the scavenger hunt? Anyway, if you can figure out the answers to the first 4 Riddles, let me know and I will tell you if you are correct! They are easy to figure out. RedwoodsMama and Nova
Also you should take your Pleo with you when you do this scavenger hunt and there should be some way to judge this so people are not downloading phtos of off the internet of hard items.

I am not very good at those at all. I have no idea what to look for.

I am a symbol of the Native American Indians and not worth a lot but you often find me with you or someone may even give you to me when you give them something?
C'mon Gucci, what am I?
RedwoodsMama
Post by: gucci_boi7782 on July 24, 2010, 05:26:34 PM
The answer is very broadly: you are a symbol. And this symbol is that of Native Americans. You may not be worth a lot, but you are often found with me or someone may even give you to them when you give them something.
LOL I'm sorry, I just don't get those things. A rabbit foot?
EDIT: This is trailing off..I think we need lists of things easily accessible to all.

" I AM A SYMBOL OF THE NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS, AND NOT WORTH A LOT BUT YOU OFTEN FIND ME WITH YOU
OR SOMEONE MAY EVEN GIVE YOU TO ME WHEN YOU GIVE THEM SOMETHING.
THE ANSWER IS : A BUFFALO NICKEL! IT IS A SYMBOL, IT IS ONLY WORTH 5 CENTS YOU HAVE ME IN YOUR WALLET, CHANGE PURSE, POCKET, ETC AND YOU CAN PAY WITH ME OR GET ME IN YOUR CHANGE WHEN YOU PAY FOR SOMETHING. See how simple yet clever this clue is? I do like yours so much more......YOu have made my day with that one Gucci, :) :D RedwoodsMama and Nova and Friend

I really like the idea of challenging people to perform little Pleo experiments and the scavenger hunt, its just a matter of getting people to participate. Therefore I propose a trial :)
Can't wait for the Scavengers Hunt :o
"Therefore I propose a trial"
OK - I'm up for that! ;D
Okay!! I will lead off, from the list we have already I tried to choose easy enough things for all parties:
Find:
___ A receipt for 50 cents worth of gas. (Or less!!)
___ A disposable coffee cup with a business logo signed by an employee.
___ A take-out menu.
___ A free promotional pen (must have company's info on it).
___ A one cent stamp.
___ A 1980 coin (any denomination).
___ A photo of an out-of-state license plate.
___ A bank deposit envelope.
___ A pizza coupon.
___ The business card of a cosmetics salesperson.
___ The smallest house you can find.
___ Graffiti in a local business' washroom.
___ Team sharing one soda (every needs their own straw). (You and your pleo!!)

___ A receipt for 50 cents worth of gas. (Or less!!) Australians don't have gas, we have LPG, petrol and diesel, and fifty cents would not even buy you a litre.
___ A disposable coffee cup with a business logo signed by an employee. The closest thing we have to that is a Mac Donalds cup and no one signs them :P
___ A one cent stamp. They do not exist in Australia. Unless I can track down a stamp collector.
___ A bank deposit envelope. We don't have them, we just fill out a small strip of paper or scan our cards.
___ The business card of a cosmetics salesperson. We don't have them (maybe down Melbourne they might...) Cosmetic people here just work at the chemist and they don't have their own business cards.
___ Graffiti in a local business' washroom. This is the country mate, we have respect for our public amenities :) There's no grafitti in our washrooms. Oh and being the civilised nation that we are, we call them Toilets :P
That's what I meant by having to have them suitable for anywhere in the world, (hard when you think about it isn't it :)) So how about a fuel reciept. disposable coffee cup with a logo, a stamp, a bank deposit evelope or form etc, a business card and a photo of a washroom (inside or out) (I could get charged for taking a photo inside a washroom here).
Post by: RedwoodsMama on July 31, 2010, 09:18:29 PM
I DO NOT DRIVE, AND NEVER WILL so I would have a almost impossible time getting a receipt and am not going to pay for something I don't have. But surely Fancy or 49 for Example could get a receipt as they both live closer to me and one of them is bound to drive. Also in other countries everyone may have different foods for sale and customs are going to be different but if we do things regarding our Pleos it shoudln't matter where we live.
How about more things that involve our PLEOS?
1. A Photo or video of Pleos on Public transportation ; bus, train, boat, subway, (no regular cars)anything that shows Pleos out and about with other people.
2. Pleos in a REestaurant or Fast Food Place....doesnt matter what type as long as there are People in the picture.
3. Pleos being Petted in Public places, or more points if held...( the idea is to expose Pleos to others while having fun)
These are just a couple of examples of things we all should be able to do, Then again if you don't have access to a camera or videocorder I am not sure what items to get. Just a few thoughts. RedwoodsMama :D

Of course those were just EXAMPLES. Obviously, I would hope we could be crafty and try to make the best of each situation. Pleo's in or out of the photo, matters not to me. I will state I am not too keen on public pleo appearances, so I might count myself out on those instances.
All I wish to say is I wanna get the ball rolling. Too much time spent and too much talking is not really getting us anywhere...

That was the first and only time ANYONE child or otherwise has ever considered hurting NOVA! :o Thank Goodness I was quick enough to move
Poor Nova, She already has a broken Neck, and Gimpy leg and if it was up to this kid, Nova may have lost her head or had an eye kicked out!
Where are the Pleo Police when you need them for God's sake?!!We need to hurry up and start this support group for Injured Pleos, before Nova ends up in a Trash heap somewhere looking like a discarded old junked Computer pile of nuts and bolts...I still can't believe this kid was going to hurt her, my
this kid's mother just stood by looking at items a few feet away like nothing was even happening. >:(Oh, well, not everyone loves Pleos like the People on this forum, and this is a prime story to illustrate that....
Anyway, good going Peeky, NOva and I will keep our eyes out for your on our Scavenger Hunt, good luck guy@

NOva just LOVES the color pink, On a recent outing we came across this quaint little house among the Redwoods, and as luck would have it, is is PINK! Nova could not resist the temptation to check out this little house. She tryed to get in through the downstairs, but knocking on the front door, brought not a single person to the door. So I showed her the upstairs window for a closer look, Stll no-one, For the last time she took a stroll on the outside ledge of the upper floor, but still could not find a way in, even though there were a broken window or two, Alas, we could not get in her little Pink Dream House, :( Nova will continue to look for her " dream Pink House,", but here is her entry to the Scavenger hunt for the littlest house, just not hers.. :D

The little blighters raided the bins, but at least came up trumps - Budge found the stamp and Iggy made a bee-line for half an old cabbage. I told him the garlic wasn't strictly a vegetable, and probably wasn't a good thing to eat either but he munched it anyway. Pheeeeew - Budge wouldn't share the bed with him last night! :P

I checked out your album RWM - great collection of entries. What you did for the red-hair category was something similiar to what I was going to try if I had finished off a few more too - mine would have been Raggedy Andy. :D
Did anyone else submit more entries? If not, it doesn't look too promising for a repeat event. :(
Realized I had never posted the link to my scavenger hunt album the other day, just the one image; hope it's okay here:

Don't know if this one's too late - thought I'd post it anyway. Iggy and Budge couldn't master chopsticks, but they decided to make the effort and dress up for a proper Chinese banquet, Iggy read the menu and Budge dialled the order in:

Anyway, this is one reason I did not finish my scavenger hunt photos, but getting the new Pleo yesterday helpd me focus my attention somewhere else for awhile. Did Theo's battery hold out for the outing on Scavenger Hunting? Hope so, Thanks for listening to my rambling... RedwoodsMama and Team Nova

To get the album link I simply navigated my way to the album page and copied the link from my browser's address bar and pasted it into my post between the url tags (the little globe icon in the formatting options). I had looked to see if there was a special code like for the images but couldn't find one either.

Iggy and Budge look fabulous all dressed up for dinner; did they leave any leftovers for later? It would take one very dexterous Pleo to master chopsticks - it certainly takes a little practice to get the hang of it. Budge seems to be doing quite well dailing in the order though. :)

So sad to hear about Freckles, RWM, he was such a sweet little soul. :'(
I wish I could make something as pretty as those Chinese outfits, but I'll admit I bought them a few weeks back. I thought, if we all went out for an evening together, they would go with my best evening coat (which they are standing on for the photo). :D

Can I get the final number of entrants please so I can start looking at photos, we have:
RWM
Shadowmice
Crewella
Fancyfont
Gucci
Was there anyone I missed?
Please note that given the number of final participants it does not look like this will be a monthly event... however we might try one for Halloween ;)

I thought this one had a great mix of items to "find" - ranging from easy to more difficult. While I didn't get out to try for some of the "in public" ones like I thought I was going to for this one, but I wouldn't suggest ruling such items out for future hunts - adds a nice challenge factor to it. The one month timeframe seems pretty reasonable - had I organized to get some done earlier in the month with my friend, we'd probably have completed a significant portion more of it. Did not count on the surprise summer cold, but really no excuse, I'm just a procrastinator in general.

I realize everyone is busy, whether it is a job, school, taking care of kids, pets, elders, or just commuting back and forth in a busy world, I don't drive and some others may not as well, I do agree that a month seems fair to me as a long enough length of time to gather items, I still like the idea of a Scavenger Hunt with Clues also like I posted earlier in July. It is the kind of thing that people will have to figure out by following clues and there may be more than one correct answer. Scavenger Hunts can be fun for people of all ages too. I still like the idea of Teams though not sure how that would work looking at the areas we all live in. Thank you and good job IMR for arranging this past Scavenger Hunt, Nova and the other Pleos and I enjoyed it a lot even if we did not get all the photos in. :D

I did enjoy doing the ones I did get, though - thanks for taking the time to set it up IMR! :)

I just now saw this as I have been up till 3;30 in the morning, trying to edit a video to post here , very difficult when it takes 90 minutes to upload a 5 minute video to Youtube, and your computer is brand new! I hate computers and technology sometimes. thank you again for this honor IMR. We really enjoyed this Scavenger Hunt and without your organizing and Ideas, and of course your Nan, we would not have had the chance to even participate.It was great fun and we can't wait for the next one!
My threesome are all going to be hooting and honking when I tell them,but not untill I finish this video!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH !! :) :)
