Title: I Call Internet Scavenger Hunt
Post by: General Throatstomper on June 09, 2006, 03:15:35 pm
A game of sorts, prove that the internet is crazy. Basically, find one page per category listed and pm them to me. You'll be given one point to start off with for a given category but will be awarded more for extra zanyness (pst news articles generally aren't zany). Also submit them in one large batch and not in several messages. In other words, google your hearts out. What you send to me will be posted at a later date.

Note that this will likely be round based and have some sort of menial reward, such as your name in my signature. By the way, if you can design a decent signature for myself then you may receive bonus points of sorts. But eh.

A few sites are banned from posting solely because they are either satirical,  humor-themed, or a collection of information, and will result in a point deduction if linked to. The current list of banned sites is:

THIS PLUS MORE!
Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org)
The Onion (http://www.theonion.com)
Uncyclopedia (http://www.uncyclopedia.org)
The Best Page in the Universe (http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net)
Encyclopedia Dramatica (http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com)
eBay (http://www.eBay.com)
TSC (what you're on now)
Any page quoting Jack Thompson (not the site, though)
News Sites
Blogs (or at least blogs by regular people, something by, say, a celebrity is admissable)

Also use common sense when sending me the links. Investigate the site first, to make sure it is not supposed to be mocking something else. And so on.

Here comes the first batch. Submit your links by June 22.

1) Child raising
2) Literacy
3) Tennis
4) Vampires
5) Lights
6) Stuffed animals
7) Mimes
8) Immortality
9) Modding
10) Grab Bag (as in, any page that you see fit that isn't banned)

Also no flash.
