The semi-annual Neocodex Official Battle of Attrition has begun suddenly and without warning (except for the several days of hype preceeding)!

 

THIS HUNT IS OVER
 

THE RULES

• I will pick the name of an item. When I post the name of the item, you must locate it by any means necessary and take a picture of it. The only requirement is that the item is real and not something you found online. Post the picture in this thread.
• Don't spoiler tag your submission, re-size if needed. It's faster for recounts. No micropics either. If I can't tell what it is you aren't getting credit.
• You must do this within 24 hours of the timestamp of my post. Submissions past the deadline do not count, even if I have not posted a new challenge.
• For every item, you must either be in the picture with your face present OR you may include a sign pic with your username on it. If you choose to do a sign pic, you must write your username clearly on a piece of paper (or use a self pic) and draw a picture of your favorite Neopet. This pic must be the same pic used in every picture. If I doubt your pic then you will be disqualified.
• I reserve the right to audit suspicious pics by requiring you to submit additional information about it.
• If you change your username in the middle of the contest and I get confused and you lose points because of it, it is your fault and while I will probably correct it after you point it out to me I will still harbor contempt for you.
• This contest is open to all users.  Yes, even my husband.
• I reserve the right to change the rules at any time and make them retroactive if I think that it makes the contest more fair.
• Each successful challenge is worth 1 point. This is not an easter egg.
• Challenge #1 will be open indefinitely through this contest, but others will not. Once a challenge is closed you will not be able to score points for finishing it.
• You can enter this contest by doing challenge #1. No need to PM me.  You can enter the contest at any time during the contest by doing challenge #1.
• You will not be eliminated if you fail a challenge, you just won't score points for it.
• The player with the most points at the end of the contest wins.
• In the event of any ties, the player who completed the most challenges consecutively without failing gets the advantage.
• New challenges will not necessarily be posted every 24 hours on the dot.  Please don't freak out if it's been 26 hours and there is no new challenge yet.

WHERE AM I GOING TO FIND A FLAG, NYMH?

 

Can I print one out or does this need to be a legit flag?

Must be a cloth flag, but does not have to be a country flag or full size.  Not printed on paper or clothing.

 

Luckily this round never closes so you have plenty of time to find one

[talbs]

Nice banner. Don't mind my stupid face.

 

[Adam]

I don't know what I was going for here.

Let's hope this works because I'm on my phoneeeee

Edit: ok nevermind it didn't work, will upload pic when I get home

[Strategist]

May I ask @Nymh, can this flag be any type of flag, or does it have to be a national/country flag? I have a racing teams' flag handy.

Any flag is fine as long as it is a physical flag and not an image of a flag.

Good to get it figured out now, hopefully you will be posting many more and they will not all be easy

[Silentqueen]

OOOh, I'd love to play. 

 

Here's my flag, well , not mine, my husband's. 

 

[Eefi]

Already failing the first round :E Waving Germany flags around isn't exactly popular (only during World cup)

[Rauul]

i know i have a flag somewhere but im on my Grandma's house. 

[Junjie]

Flag? Fantastic, it just happens to be close to our country's National Day, and so the flag's conveniently out in our house!

 

[Eefi]

Took a pic on my way home.

 

Close up of the flags because it's a bit hard to see (?)

[Sweeney]

Cup of tea, dressing gown, and the flag I have hanging over my porch in rural Tennessee.
