| This contest ran from 4/11/99 to about 5/15/99. It is no longer running.
Since we only had 6 submissions, everyone who submitted received a Methos iron-on and a Methos bookmark. First prize went to Quink MacFru (who had 99!!!), but since she already had a copy of the Blooper Reel II, she passed it on to second place. Here are the winners:
1st - Quink
2nd - Zzickle
3rd - Canadian Girl
4th - Siva Mac MINT#78
5th - Lone Writer
6th - Hmph

It's a scavenger hunt, baby! That's right, The BBGLs and the Asylum have teamed up for a scavenger hunt!
The Rules:
Rule number one! Unless otherwise noted in the description, all answers must be in the form of a URL. This includes the "http://" at the beginning of the URL. If you answer with a name, description, file download, or anything that is not an Internet address (unless the description specifically asks for something other than a URL), it will not be counted. Description asking for something other than a URL will have a tilde (~) around the word of what you should answer with.
E.g.:
1. The ~name~ of one of Methos' Guardian Angels (If you are one of his guardian angels, you can NOT use your name).
Guardian
2. A Methos Timeline
http://www.methos_timeline.com
etc...
(These answers are not necessarily correct)
Rule number two! When mailing in your findings, You must copy and paste the full list of descriptions (this includes both the numbers and descriptions) and put your answers under the descriptions or numbers.
E.g.:
1. The ~name~ of one of Methos' Guardian Angels (If you are one of his guardian angels, you can NOT use your name).
Guardian
2. A Methos Timeline
http://www.methos_timeline.com
etc...
(These answers are not necessarily correct)
Rule number three! You may not turn in your findings one at a time or in small lumps. Everything must be turned in at the same time. If you do turn in your findings one at a time or in small lumps, they will be ignored. Also, if you turn in your findings, leaving some blank, then later turn in your findings with the before-blank answers filled in, they will be ignored. Only your first submission will be counted.
Rule number four! You can work in pairs, but no more than two. You can only pair up with someone not in your clan. This means if you are a MacMINT/AINT, you can only team with a MacBBGL. Likewise, if you are a MacBBGL, you can only team with a MacMINT/AINT. If you are in both clans, count yourself lucky, you can pair up with members of either clan. To find a member you want to pair up with, you can go to the The MacBBGL forum at http://apps.vantagenet.com/aforums/thread.asp?id=199862118343&view=All+By+Date or the Asylum Forum at http://users.cgiforme.com/macmint/cfmboard.html
Rule number five! At the top of your submission, you must have the following: your name/names (use whichever you are known by to your clan), if you are a pair or individual (state: Pair or Individual), and the email address that you would like to be contacted at if you win.
E.g.:
jam-wired, Old Soul
Pair
clan_contest@hotmail.com
1. The ~name~ of one of Methos' Guardian Angels (If you are one of his guardian angels, you can NOT use your name).
Guardian
etc...
(These answers are not necessarily correct)
Rule number six! All submissions are due in to clan_contest@hotmail.com by Saturday, May 15th with the subject header Scavenger Hunt. Submissions will be accepted until midnight, your time, Saturday. Submissions will not be accepted past the specifed date. Use the email address listed above and not one of Old Soul's or jam-wired's other email addresses! If you mail any findings to any other address, they will be ignored.
The Prize:
First place! One lucky person will win the Highlander Blooper Reel II (VHS version only). Yippee! It's so exciting, yes! Yeah, yeah, so what if you're a pair and there are two of you? Hehehehe, well, maybe you can work out a joint custody. Sorry, there's only one copy of this puppy! *g* What if you already have it? Uh...if you win, you'll be the proud owner of two copies of it!
First place goes to the person or pair who has the most correctly answered descriptions. For more details on how pairings will be judged, check out Extra Tidbits.
Second place! Three or four lucky people will win a Methos "A thousand regrets" iron-on! What??? Another iron-on??? Geez, jam, how many of those stupid things do we have to compete for? Well, since the MacBBGLs weren't involved in the last clan contest, they never had to compete for an iron-on. Plus, this iron-on is different from the last one! Ooooh! Are we getting excited yet? Depending on whether or not one pair and one individual gets second place, or two pairs, or three individuals (or any other variations), three or four people will win second place.
Third place! Five or six people will win a Methos "Good morning! Feeling any better?" bookmark! Yay! A laminated piece of paper! Feel the excitement! You can drool on the pages while reading your favorite Highlander book! Again, depending on how many individuals and/or pairings win this, five or six people will get this prize.
That's a total of eleven lucky winners! Yeah! Yeah! Can you feel that, buddy? Uh, uh, uh! Um...moving along...
Extra Tidbits:
If you do work in pairs and tie with an individual for any place, your pair must have at least 25 more questions answered correctly than the individual to earn the place you've tied for. This handicaps pairs and makes it more fair for individuals.
Unless otherwise noted, when referring to Methos, this also includes Peter Wingfield. For example, if the description says "A picture of Methos" it can also be a picture of Peter Wingfield at a convention, from another show, etc. This also applies to any of the other characters/actors that might be in the descriptions. Also, specific URLs can be used twice, or more than twice...however much you want to use it. As long as it applies to all of the descriptions you're using it to answer with.
If you don't win, you will not be contacted. Winners will be announced at http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Dreamworld/1335/mint/contest.html, over the BBGL announcement mail list, and over the Asylum announcement mail list. If you win, you will be contacted personally at the email address you specified at the top of your submission.
Please note that if you win, you will have to have a varifiable home address. What the heck does that mean? I don't know...I hear it on television all the time and it sounds professional, so I thought I'd use it... No, really, it means you're going to have to mail us your *real* home address, and it must work. Otherwise, we'll just keep your prize for ourselves...hehehe. Don't worry, we're not stalkers.
Tips from the contest holders: It would be wise not to submit your findings until the last day or close to the last day. Then, on the day you are submitting, recheck your URLs and make sure they still link properly. Also, it's easier to copy and paste a URL (and less likely that you'll make a typographical error) than it is to type it manually.
And one last thing; both clans together have over 150 members. Since there are only two clan leaders and 150 of you, neither of us are sure how long it will take to get everyone's submission checked and the winners discovered. Therefore, please do not email either of us concerning the contest after you've submitted your findings. It may be over a month past the submission due date until we get everything sorted.
If you have any other questions don't hesitate to send an email to clan_contest@hotmail.com using the subject header Query.
