Hi, Requiem!

I appreciate the creative thinking, time, effort 
and talent you put into your scavenger hunt.  It 
was a pleasant diversion that brought attention to 
cel galleries and truly amazing cels (like #10!), 
that perhaps have been overlooked.  (I own cel #6 
which seemed to stump a few people.  I think it's 
wonderful that some people, who might not have 
known about my gallery before, were inspired to 
find it because of the scavenger hunt!)

As for the next hunt...it's your game.  Since it 
is your idea, you are going to run it and you are 
supplying the prizes, you get to make the rules!  

I'm still on a slow dial-up modem, so I am always 
at a disadvantage when time is important (such as 
Nick's updates!  Grr!) but that is simply a fact 
of life.  If you were to select the list style 
again, knowing my handicap, I would browse all the 
galleries of the frequent forum posters so I could 
recognize the cels more quickly next time.  There 
was sufficient time to do that on this hunt, if 
people were that gung-ho to win.

A seek and find hunt could be interesting.  It 
would definitely be more challenging.  To avoid 
the 'win by accident', you probably should require 
people to submit the URL thread they used to find 
the end cel.

I think the 'show me' could be the most fun 
though.  (So this one, of these three, gets my 
vote!)

Hmmm, perhaps you could run different types of 
scavenger hunts?  The list style is good for 
people with fast connections, but the seek and 
find style ("Thread the Cel Labyrinth"?  You could 
make all kinds of terrible jokes about Minotaurs 
and Clews!) or show me style would even the 
playing field for people who don't have DSL or T1. 
  Or maybe you could cull your finalists from each 
style of hunt (if you can tolerate the idea of 
running three seperate hunts simultaneously!) and 
then select your grand prize winner.  By whatever 
means you choose, be it random number, anime 
riddle or drawing a name out of a hat!  It's your 
game, you get to make all the rules!

I would respectfully suggest that if you run a 
scavenger hunt again (please, please do!) and 
someone does not agree with your rules, he or she 
not participate.  To maintain some level of fun 
for you too, you may want to make the first rule a 
'no flame' rule.  If anyone flames you, either on 
the forum or in an email, they are automatically 
eliminated from the hunt.

Well, just my two cents' worth, since you asked!  
(Please run another scavenger hunt again!  It was 
fun!)
