[center] [img]http://i.imgur.com/pfnGda6.png[/img] It’s a beautiful day in Sorneith; the sun is shining, the clouds are drifting across the sky, and the Mistral Jamboree’s in full swing. You’re strolling through the festival, enjoying the sights and sounds, when a large tent catches your eye. The gaudy monstrosity is draped with random baubles and trinkets from across the world; how this thing stays standing instead of collapsing is a complete mystery to you. You can see where more items are spilling out of tent entrance, just below the large sign that says ‘Famous Adventurer’. There’s a very enthusiastic young snapper out front who’s been passing out flyers to everyone who passes by. When they see you eyeing the tent they bounce on over. “Hi! I’m Ralph! You should come check out our tent! It’s my uncle’s, and I’m his junior assistant! He’s teaching me about exploring stuff, and he has good stories! Please take a flyer? He says passing them out is a ‘good character building exercise’...I dunno why but I’m gonna do my best!” You take one of the flyers from him; looking at it all it says is ‘Earn free stuff inside’. Well, you’d hate to disappoint the little guy, [i]and[/i] free is your favorite price, so you might as well take a peek inside. The inside of this place is a total mess. Piles of items reach up towards the tent’s ceiling, leaving little room to walk around them. There’s an open space in the center, where a snapper is standing at a table, peering down at something there. You make your way over to him, say hello, and introduce yourself...but he doesn't turn around. So you say hello again louder...and louder again, before he finally looks over his shoulder.

HOW THIS WORKS

  • We're open from March 24th until rollover on April 1st.
  • This event is open to both OOF people AND Windies!
  • Every day after rollover I will post the day's image and clues. You have until rollover of that day to submit your guesses. Do NOT talk about what you think the image is in the thread here. Everybody has to come up with an answer on their own.
  • All guesses need to be submitted using this form. Guesses submitted via PM or on this thread do NOT count.
  • You get one guess per image. You cannot change your answer. I will accept close spelling or alternate names.
  • If you think you've spelled your name wrong you can contact me and I'll fix it
  • All of the correct answers for the day will be tallied during rollover. I'll use random.org to pick a random winner for that day's daily prize. Daily winners will be announced when a new picture is posted
  • You are more than welcome to use the internet to try and find the answer. It doesn't have to be off the top of your head.
  • At the end of the game all the correct answers from every picture will be added together. I will use random.org to draw winners for the Grand Prizes. This means that even if you don't win a daily prize your correct guesses can still get you some fancy stuff
  • Grand Prize winners will be drawn April 2nd
  • Have any questions? Want to be pinged when I draw prizes? Post here! :D
