Title: I spy with my pixel Eye.. (Feb 1 - Feb 8)
Post by: AlexHW on February 01, 2007, 08:48:38 pm
this weeks challenge provided by Ensellitis, ejay, and fawel.
We will be spying 3 at a time, those who are interested in supplying next weeks items can pm me their entries and clues. Try to make the first clue related to a letter or a color or somethign simple.
I spy #1:
I spy with my pixel eye, something with wings, but cannot fly!
I spy something that is used only once!
ITEM #1 SOLVED by EJAY

I spy #2:
I spy with my pixel eye, something that is fun!
It's larger than a cat, smaller than a horse!
It runs on electricity!
It eats your money!
ITEM # 2 SOLVED by STWELIN

I spy #3:
I spy with my pixel eye, something that is commonly seen in a tuxedo!
I spy a high ankle?
A crooked neck!
Lawn ornament
ITEM #3 SOLVED by ENSELLITIS


Your goal:
Figure out what thing has been spied. It could be anything.
When you think you have the answer, you must pixel it!
Pixeling the correct thing will stop the activity, and the secret will be revealed. The person who guesses right will be declared the winner.
Throughout the week, clues shall be given pertaining to what the thing is.
If nobody figures out the thing being spied with my little pixel eye, then the pixeled image will be revealed at the end of the week and the activity will end.

Rules:
Use a minimum of 4 colors.
Your pixeled image must not be rushed too much.

Winners:
Those who spy the secret pixel thing are invited to pixel the next secret pixel image for the next activity.
You'd be required to supply the pixel image and handful of clues to a moderator so as to set up the next activity.
Please make sure that neither the actual object or the clues are too specific or obscure.
If the invitation is declined, the offer will be open for anyone.

Hope it's not too rushed. I was trying to keep it to 4 colors but for aa's sake I bumped it up a notch.

Update to the clues!

There was an empty wallet left at the scene of the crime for item #2, which leads us to believe that this thing eats your money!
A reporter interviewed an eyewitness today which described what seemed like a lawn ornornament nearby the incident of item #3.
Help solve this mystery by pixeling the items involved in this case.

I'm almost sure I know what #2 is. :)

Of course, with my problem solving abilities, that means almost everyone else does too.

I am appalled at your wrong depiction of Pacman! It runs in a vertical cabinet ffs!! </geek>

Post by: Sherman Gill on February 07, 2007, 08:16:34 pm
Well, I have seen it in one of the multiple game cabins, which are always the standard cabinet. But of course, Stwelin's machine is clearly not the holder of multiple games.

Post by: Stwelin on February 07, 2007, 09:31:31 pm
There are plenty of things wrong with it technically, but i don't play pacman, nor do i claim to be an arcade junkie.
Anyone can take my place, i don't have the patience or time to make anything. :\

You've never seen a pactable? That's the first time I actually saw a pacman game in the arcade was as a table.

hey

Hehe, this is the first I've heard of the "I spy with my pixel Eye" challenges" :).

Anyhows I think I know the answer to the 2nd one ^_^, well I've quickly pixeled it, but it's not done... and I gotta go for a bit soon/now... so hopefully by the time I'm back no one has guessed it :). Well if someone does guess it, hopefully it's not what I thought it was... I dunno, hehe :).
