    Proud to be an American! Sorry the size isn't the standard but it was hard to capture the full memorial. Hope this passes if not I can crop it more.

    Day 3:

    Subject - Stone-carved statue of Mary in front of a school.

    I could have found a much larger steel statue near me, but it's pretty big and I think all you would see is me, the sign, and a forearm in any shot where you could read the paper.

    IFMU - 480x640 shots OK as well? (same number of pixels and all) I know it's being nitpicky, but the other contestants have me thinking this could go on for awhile so I want to make sure I don't get booted off when when things start getting really strict.



    Edit: Cropped picture to fit within 640x480, just in case.

    Why would IFMU answer questions to help you guys stay in this competition for? If you think you did it right, post it. Otherwise, don't post it.

    The purpose of this contest is to eliminate others who failed to follow the rules to win a prize.

    Edit: since it's getting stricter and I don't see anything locking you into your first input (from re-reading looks like it just has to be in before the time limit) I'm going with this statue...

    I think it's always fair to ask for clarification, the risk should be that he won't answer it before it's too late for someone to get/change their picture. If you don't post because you want clarification or it is clarified against you and you don't change you're definitely out (excepting occasions where there is a rule that a person may only enter once and cannot change their entry, then you are also still SOL), but I can't think of a single game where you can't ask for clarification of the rules.

    Technically, I think you could be eliminated anyways, as your banner says "competition," not "contest" as the rules specify

    Serra, I agree 100% with you, but that should happen before you start the contest. Since we already are in the round 4, you already posted your entry for the round 4, and even, your question has been asked/seen before -- see the first entry made by PULSAR and xxrabid93's post, I do not think it is fair anymore. Hence, IFMU stated, "As a side note, the longer this lasts, the stricter I will be on each hunt."

    Dang, all of us are in again. I think it is gonna be more interesting to see who gets knocked out first rather than who wins.

    Marty! All the first four hunts were too easy for us to pass. Please make the next hunt harder!

    Ok, everyone got one in before the deadline and I have to be at work before then, so to make this a bit easier for myself... and as you've requested, I will work on making them a bit harder for you...

    Your post must have the image showing yourself, the banner and whatever is the 'object' for the hunt.

    Inside a retail store selling Records, pick a record and take a pic.

    Good Luck

    That's dedication right there... I was actually just responding to ya.

    But that brings a good point, how do we handle that? I mean to say sucks for you is mean cuz it's really not their fault, but it is a competition...

    I'd be tempted to say yeah, have the extension, (as it's not their fault) but this might go on forever that way...

    Just want to ask before it applies to anyone...

    Sorry to disappoint gents but I too have an entry for this round.

    At a Slackers in the local mall... apparently they sell records. The fellow at the register was kind enough to snap a picture for me. It did take a bit of calling around to find someone less than 30 miles away but I think I got off easier than Pulsar this round.

    And yes, I did fix my sign
