    isn't that like getting a cease and desist, then bragging that the person you're stalking sent you a letter?

    I'll be cosplaying as a sexy version of Gabe if anyone wants to take a picture with me for number 5. I can probably help with #40 too... ;)

    Although I won't be actively participating, I wonder if anyone will ask for my help in one or two of the items. Sounds like fun!

    I suppose it's not fair, but I'll at least get ONE of these pretty much for free. I don't know if I'll be able to get any others... but... I'm in! =)

    P.S. - Even if there was NO contest involved, I would do the Mario pretty much anytime on request. My specialty is public humiliation. =)

    This is basically impossible. Some of the items on this list are really stupid, and highly unlikely they will ever happen at PAX. Sorry, but with 50 items you are going to have to make them a lot easier. Otherwise the people participating will not enjoy pax, and will stalk Crecente instead.

    Edit: Also, #40 might not be comfortable for another female attendee. Also, there is a high chance that there will not be anyone in attendance with a PVP or CAD shirt.

    Basically, I don't know if anyone should waste their time on a scavenger hunt of this magnitude unless the prize is a Car or House, and the people participating don't plan on winning.

    And yes, I understand you don't need ALL of the items to win.

    I will have to break my agreement streak here, PVP and CAD shirts have been common at every PAX, even the early ones with a fraction of the attendance. And I don't think anybody will take this as license to molest girls. A yes or no question for a scavenger hunt isn't going to ruin anybody's day I don't think.

    My point was girls kissing girls. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

    Because kissing on the cheek is such a horrible concept...

    So this brings up a good question... if I get a photo of VT and me dressed as Waldo doing the Mario, does that count for 5, 18 & 50 or just one of them?

    That raises a better question...

    Couldn't someone just pose with their arms APPEARING to swing from side to side, and CLAIM they were doing the Mario?

    And question 2: I'm cosplaying as Mario on Friday. If I bend over in front of someone, and a picture is taken by their friend, would that count as "doing the Mario?"

    JUST ADDED:

    1. There are people out there with PAX Badge or Shirt from 2006 or earlier. Be careful, though, as the flash may give them a sunburn.
    4. It's only fair: allow a G4 Personality to perform an insulting action toward you of their choice.
    6. Inform another cosplayer with a prop that it is way too goddamn big.
    12. At Sakurakon, Penny Arcade bestowed free waffles to the masses. To celebrate, eat a delicious waffle at PAX.
    15. An attendee from the great state of Rhode Island, with Driver's License as proof.
    22. Ninety Nine Bottles of Bawls, not necessarily on a wall.
    26. Strip Recreation: There is a world of undiscovered alien erotica out there. Emulate the expressions in panel three with your new horrified friend.
    20070919.gif
    29. Fist Bump with a member of either a fictitious or realworld military, who is in fatigues.
    31. The Sheraton is running Microsoft Surface. You should check it out.
    33. Recreate 6th grade humor by displaying the word BOOBS on a real calculator. Not a cellphone, with a calculator function added.
    35. Find an attendee with a stick of Deodorant/Antiperspirant on their person.
    39. Play matchmaker and unite two attendees, both of whom own a PSP.
    42. Anything officially promoting Duke Nukem Forever.

    some of these photos seem to involve action... I guess it's up to us to interpret?

    And is there a ruling on fulfilling multiple items in a single photo?

    Items such as telling someone their cosplay items is too big can consist of something like you pointing at that Heavy's Big-Ass Chaingun, and fist bump/pound only needs to be caught in the photo (i.e. fists touching). So the actions are open to interpretation.

    Multiplier for a number of tasks in one photo? We shall see.

    If someone can somehow get all 50 scavenger hunt items into a single picture, I will erect a statue in your honor, and make up a song about your greatness. And lo, the villagers will sing it in the local bar nightly, with tear-glinted eyes, and members of your preferred gender will throw themselves at your feet upon your arrival.

    Though with a x2 multiplier for every additional item in the picture, it would be worth... what is that? Five hundred dodecatrillion^2 points? I think that's enough points to not only win THIS scavenger hunt, but to also automatically win any scavenger hunt you enter for the rest of your life by default.
