Bucks -> Harpoon 3 ANW Platform Photo ID Test (3/6/2007 6:27:53 AM)
|
Hello All, After Dale's trivia questions I thought I'd introduce a "Platform Photo ID Test" series. I've been working on some display related things for the HUD3 and decided I could make use of the images here to bend your minds a little. I'll start off with resonably easy "tests" to encourage EVERYBODY to give it a try. I'll post an initial image, that at first only reveals part of the platform I would like an ID on. I'll slowly reveal the images until we receive a correct answer or I show the whole photo and provide the answer due to zero correct responses. There are no prizes but I'll keep a "ladder" of successful responses and the leader will obviously have bragging rights around the forum. I'll award 2 points for a correct answer, and possibly split the points for close guesses etc. If competing numbers of forum members don't take up the opportunity I'll call an end to it after we've run a few rounds. GUIDELINES 1. The winner of the previous round is asked to remove themself from the competition for 1 round. 2. Unless otherwise stated at the commencement of a round contestants are limited to three (3) attempts at nominating the correct answer. 3. Long time or what could be considered "expert" users within the community are asked to compete in a spirit of inclusiveness. My intention is to run a friendly comp where everybody (yes even really new Harpooners) has an opportunity to compete in a friendly environment and doesn't feel overwhelmed while competing. 4. A brief explanation of why you think the pic is whatever platform you nominate would be appreciated to further community participation and the education process in general. 5. Always remember to Have Fun. 6. An ineligible player can PM the answer to me to score a bonus point. H3ANW PHOTO ID TEST LADDER AFTER 16 ROUNDS:- 1. Sunburn -> 9pts 2.
