Some people have brought up the Team Chop Challenge I did a while back so I thought I would ask which one people wanted first.

Some thoughts.

• The team chop challenge is easier to coordinate and put together. The site has changed quite a bit since my last bit of coding so I'll have to spend some time automating the scoring again as there is no way I can do that manually. (this would be my choice )
  
• The Scavenger hunt is just a huge job. Coming up with 10-12 good items to "hunt" for getting all the images, uploading, scoring...it isnt easy and those that have done it know this.
  

I'll do whichever is most popular...just give me time and if anyone wants to help, let me know. I have to check Nancy's schedule first and Im going to see if I can find Cynn and Ken...but I dont suspect any of them will be interested.

*edit
Per Caf's suggestion...for some info on these different events visit here...

Scavenger Hunts: http://photoshopcontest.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=2451 The very first post in that thread gives an overview of what and how a hunt works.

I'll search for the Team Chop thing...

and here is the team chop challenge info...

as long as we don't have to make teams all over again!

Team Chop

I say at first, do whichever is easier. So if the TeamChop is easier to implement, then do that first and get it going.

Then, we can set a date in the summer or the fall for the scavenger hunt. That will give those who are coodinating a little time to get the Scavenger hunt together and to get it right.

My 2 pence, but it seems like there's ALOT of stuff going on with the site at the moment and we may need to get our bearings before trudging off into a huge task like the Scavenger Hunt. I wasn't able to participate in either Scavenger Hunt in the past, but it looked like a TON of fun and it really needs to have the attention to do it RIGHT.

Az, how is the STUFF going on with the site effecting you?
The boards still work, people still chop, contests are still won. The scavenger hunt only needs a forum here to keep people updated. the rest is all done off site.

yep....would be my choice also

SHIV was ALOT of fun but very time consuming...I can only imagine all of the time it took to set up, coordinate, judge, etc..

by the way...a "pence"............in Canada, thats like twenty or thirty dollars..right???

a team chop sounds interesting...

I'd be happy to help out with either game, Showcase.

Could you please give a brief overview or links to the rules for each game? Might help some newer people get a better sense of what we're talking about.

yes, well...you'll actually have to chop and enter contests. Something you seem to have trouble with. Not unlike me. Ask my teammate from last time, Scion. I think between the two of us, we submitted one entry during the challenge.

Thanks for the offer Caf. I want to see if I can drag Cynn, Ken and Nancer back just for a hunt but if I cant, I'll need help. If its a team chop challenge first, thats all automated once I get the code correct for reading votes.

Also, I've edited the introductory comment to this thread to include information for each event. If anyone has questions, read the entire thread. Many questions were asked and I think by the end, most people got how it worked. If you still have questions, post them here and I or someone else will answer them.

Show, It doesn't affect me at all. I'm not the one that's going to be coordinating the Scavenger hunt. Though, I'd be willing to help if needed...

My point was that the site has just changed ownership, the folks who ran the scavenger hunts in the past are not around (for the most part) and it seems like something that would take some time to get together.

That's not going to affect me day-to-day, BUT while all that coordination is going on it might be cool to have a TeamChop challenge to bide the time.

HEY! I, me and Nance were the pioneers of the scavenger hunt and TKB was such a force, we won the second one (with Mozub and Kencd7) and ran the third. I know what Im doing and I have nothing to do with running this site...so...no problemo

Anyway, it looks like a team chop challenge is the popular vote at this point. I'll let the poll run for another couple days and then get started on whichever is the most sought after.

Also, regarding the team chop challenge...In the thread I linked, it mentions a real prize to be shipped directly to your doorstep.

Well, on the last challenge, Mightybeet took all the prizes and we have none left. Right Beet? how is that new In-Home media center working out for you anyway?

so no real prizes for the winners besides bragging rights.

*runs and hides in shame.

Team Chop!
I was pretty bad last time. But it was fun!
