Contest Ends Tomorrow!
If you are a newbie to this site or if you didn't read Posted Note the week that this contest began then you may not know what this contest is all about.
Read all about it here.
I have had some questions about contest rules and submissions and here they go.
1. Contest begins at 12:01 AM CST.
2. Post your answers in the comments section
3. Send me an email with your answers as well that way if there is a problem with blogger then you can say that you sent them to me and I will indeed get them. Email Me - Eddo at PostedNote dot com. (all lowercase if you were cloned or if you have been trapped in a cave the last 10 years)
4. There will 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners.
5. Don't be so sure you have everything. You may want to come back and check what other people posted. If they missed something then you still have a chance to win. Some of the stuff I changed was pretty obscure and even Ben thought that I added Bear River later in the game when Bear River had been there all along.
6. Changes should be submitted as follows:
July 33rd - Added three swamps, removed 8 trees, changed tree colors.
July 41st - removed two people and 1 deer
Best of Luck!

DARN THE LUCK!! I knew I'd pay for being so late some day. (refer to my very first blog every). It's bad enough that I miss the beginning and usually crucial 5 minutes of most movies, the bride's entrance at most weddings, and missed anesthisia completely during my last surgery. But NOW, to miss participating in this contest, well, that's the final straw! With Eddie as my witness..I'LL NEVER BE (too)LATE AGAIN!
But, WHICH comment section? to what entry? should i load these answers into the comments of EVERY entry? please, don't let it be so.
6/23/2005: Started
06/24/2005: Added Kanakuk K-7 & teepees. A beige border has appeared on the south side, and a small dust storm has attacked the black border to the west, about ˝" below the top border.
6/27/2005: Added Big Foot Park with large foot print as well as animal footprints between "Posted" and "Note", deleted the person walking along Crazy Deer Pass
6/28/2005: Trampled Man Gorge appeared, along with a trampled man laying along the path. ALSO, for good measure, a tiny black dot in the lower left corner between the tree and bush randomly appeared.
7/1/2005: Eddo, you've been at work! The tiny black dot in the lower left corner is gone, as well as the small bush (or was that a fire?) that was southeast of the dot. Also, thirteen pine trees appeared! What growth! A rabbit sits above the animal tracks, a Marijauna Farm has been planted, and to the east, a Gold Mine! I'm not sure yet what it is, but there's some alien-like creature (or maybe a small snake and a rock) near the Blog Cabin. Get it out of there! Yucky aliens and snakes. Blech.
7/6/2005: Oh, how the scenery is changing. 10 changes! 1) the border is smaller. You must have cropped it. It is all black, with no beige exterior lines. Nice. 2) Two eagles have flown in to the southwest corner (they flew southwest, like the airline!), and Posted Note found it necessary to establish the Eagles Nest Park in their honor for their stay. I wish that every park I visited established a memorial in honor of ME. ;) 3) the Trampled Man Gorge disappeared, though the trampled man is still there! The gorge was replaced by Missing in Minnestota, complete with –ha! – a maple leaf, like the one on the CANADIAN flag! Ahahaahahaahahaahaaa!!!! 4) Oh, no! The rabbit above the animal tracks ran away! 5) A Bike Trail and 2 bicycles appeared in the upper right corner. 6) The tree to the left of Blog Cabin was replaced by a pine tree. 7) Blog Cabin was demolished, and Moose Lodge built on the same grounds. 8) Two pines grew overnight to the east of the Moose Lodge. 9) The deer, frightened by all the new construction, ran away. 10) However, a moose has meandered to the front of the Moose Lodge. How appropriate!
07/08/2005: MiM is gone, and you changed the map! How snarky of you! I like counting the changes with numbers, so I will from now on: 1) Storm Mountain was added to the northeast, along Crazy Deer Pass. 2) The couple walking along the pass were confused by the new terrain, apparently entering it without a GPS. They're lost, dude. 3) This is interesting. All major black areas (Storm Mtn, Snake Lake, the bear, the teepees, and some of the tree trunks) have been antiqued/weathered. I'll tell you what: that storm mountain sure is wreaking havoc. 4) Is it possible? The east and west borders are now even narrower!
7/12/2005: Storm Mountain! It's a'brewin! A lightening bolt has struck, and its mark next to the signage. When the lightening struck, it also burned down the gold mine, which no longer appears on the map. And, there must have been heavy rains, because a small pool ("Devil's Pool") has formed east of Snake Lake. Watch out – snakes and devils are a BAD combo, even at the Posted Note Resort and Spa. Hey, will you be offering massage services soon? With all this hiking and hunting, I could use one!
7/20/2005: Did it rain? Purple? Purple Rain? Like, that movie with Oprah? ;) Apparently so, because a new creek has formed: King's Crossing. Or maybe that's a road? Whatever it is, it is new – a jagged little line just east of the title of the map. And with the symbolic crown! Purple, of course. The rain didn't just turn the crown purple – it affected other areas too: the deer near Missing in Minnesota, but not their antlers; the teepees over by Kanakuk; the body of water at Snake Lake; the body of the bear at Bear River; Storm Mountain; the moose, but again not the antlers, near Moose Lodge, and even the cross-mark of the North-South-East-West-thing. I'm sure I learned the name for that object in 9th grade Geography. But that was, like, too many years ago and do you REALLY expect me to remember?!?
07/21/2005: Oh, The Color Purple. It is gone. As well as King's Crossing. Perhaps it WAS rain, afterall, and now everything has dried up with this 100+ degree weather we're having. All's black and back to normal.
07/24/2005: Forestry! Since there were so many changes, let me be very straightforward:
Removed: 1) three deer and the trampled man; 2) Missing in Minnesota and the appropriate Canadian maple leaf; 3) Kanakuk K-7; 4) two teepees; 5) Eagles Nest Park; 6) two flying birds; 7) Crazy Deer Pass; 8) the animal tracks between “Posted” and “Note”, although there is still one track left between the two pine trees directly above this space; 9) Marijuana Farm (darn!); 10) Storm Mountain, and its lightening; 11) Bike Trail; 12) Compass (I finally figure out the name for this contraption!); 13) Big Foot Park. Added: 1) Trees (48 pines); 2) different style of compass; 3) Mystery Marsh
07/28/2005: Wow – the rains a week ago really did this map wonders! So many new trees – 26 new pines all over the map! Great growth! The Posted Note Lodge must really be feeling the benefits of the growing forest, because there is a new floral/scripty logo added beneath the “Resort & Spa.” AND, as if THAT weren’t enough, the Posted Note paid to have the Snake Lake filled in with dirt, where new trees are now found. Good for you, Posted Note!
07/29/2005: Holy Smokes! Eddo, only YOU can prevent forest fires! The map! It is ON FIRE! Strangely, its new shape resembles a buffalo. A male buffalo. Multiple pillars of smoke are rising from the ashes at the bottom of the map. The “Established” date is barely legible, and the compass has been completely wiped out. The bear at Bear’s River and the moose at Moose Lodge were either charred or feasted upon, or else they fled the forest at the sight and scent of the oncoming fires. I wonder…was this arson?
Let the record show, Jes is currently in 1st place (I didn't count the trees) but I also didn't read her comments until after I typed mine, and so I did not cheat, and will settle for 2nd place. I hope I don't begin dropping out of medal range soon when everyone else begins posting their comments.
