Scavenger hunt!

I'll pay L$250 to the first Avatar that posts in this forum the SIM and coordinates FROM WHICH each of the following can be "photographed" within SL. L$250 Per item - if you're the first to post the item, you get the L$ for that item.

I'm the only judge, I pick the winners based on my own judgement.

(Don't post if you don't want to live with MY decisions. I RULE THE CONTEST. My decision is final. No discussion. No complaints. This is only for fun!)

Rules:

1. I am the king. I decide the winners based on my own judgement whether I think the entry is the first entry that satisifies the spirit of the item in my opinion. My word is final. (Don't build the items. This not a building contest, its a scavenger hunt.)

2. To enter, list the SIM and the coordinates FROM WHICH the item can be photographed in a reply to this thread. (You do NOT have to take the photograph. You do not have to post photographs in this thread.) You can list as many as you want in a message. Post as many messages as you like. LIST THEM HERE IN THIS THREAD, DON'T IM OR EMAIL THEM.

3. To get the coordinates, you can turn on the "mini map". It shows the coordinates where you are. Example: Wakely (122, 10). (Provide the SIM and coordinates from which the photograph can be taken, not the location of the item.)

4. Coordinates should be within 256m of the item.

5. You do not have to own the item.

6. One payout per item. There are 10 items. L$2,500 total prizes.

I will go to the locations and take photographs with my distance set at 512 and clouds turned off, and post the ones I like in this forum (probably as links). I will also upload them as textures and make them available in-world for free.

I am not doing this for profit, I just want everybody to have fun. If its fun, I'll do it some more.

HERE ARE THE ITEMS:

1. A large concrete Linden Dam with a lake behind it.

2. A real-looking lighthouse.

3. A nice suburban house surrounded by a white picket fence.

5. A working ski lift. (at a ski slope. My sky-lift doesn't count.)

6. Eight Anshe Chung for-sale signs that can be captured in one picture at 256m distance. (I will take the picture at 512m, but you have to be able to see 8 at 256m distance.)

7. A replica of the Philadelphia Love statue.

8. A scale model Eiffel Tower.

9. A realistic sphinx.

10. A precariously perched, yet realistic, cliff-side house.

Go Findem!

ahaha. I'm probably hijacking, but:

I'll give $1000 to the first person to find a house with a fountain between a couple of hibiscus plants on a deck next to a candle (not on the deck).

If there are multiple (very improbable), I'm afraid only the one I know about will apply

Same as Buster's Rules.
