Scavenger Hunt -- 11th Edition Due November 14th at 11:59 PST Hello everyone and welcome to the first week of our events for celebrating YWS' birthday! YWS was created on November 14th, 2004. :) This event is really simple: because YWS is nearly eleven years old, we will be focusing on the number eleven! Below is a checklist of areas around the site that involve the number eleven somehow and your job is to either do an action or find some things. The person who gets all links to me first will win! But what will I win, you ask? 3rd Place: One review from yours truly, redeemable for all of eternity; 500 pts; and a pat on the back! 2nd Place: Two reviews from yours truly, redeemable for all of eternity; 1000 pts; and a pat on the back! 1st Place: Three reviews from yours truly, redeemable for all of eternity; 2500 pts; and a pat on the back! All participants will earn a badge, regardless of completing the entire checklist or not! Intrigued? Wonderful! Now onto the good stuff... the rules. 1. Links to everything must be provided to qualify for entry. If you're missing a link, that's your fault. If you fail to send any links, that's also your fault. I'm not gonna go digging around to make sure the name of the thread you've listed is correct, I want a direct link to check. 2. One PM, one entry. Make sure you have everything before you send that PM! 3. Sharing information with another participant is forbidden. This is a competition for a reason, so keep everything private. This includes skype, text, site PMs, etc. Anything online or offline counts, and if I find out, you will be disqualified. If you come across something listed, I ask you refrain from liking it so it doesn't show up in the People feed and everyone now has a freebie link. 4. All entries must be PMed directly to Iggy. To avoid copy-pasting, if your entry is posted in this topic, it will be deleted. 5. The links for #1, #2, and #5 in the checklist have to lead to a post/blog/etc. made before this month, Nov. 2015. 6. Besides #s 1, 2, and 5 in the checklist, you cannot link to posts/threads you've made, or your own avatar for #9 in the checklist. Soooorryyy!!! Now that that's out of the way, and hopefully I haven't scared you off yet... the checklist. 1. Welcome 11 new members 2. Make a status about 11 reasons why you love YWS and hashtag #11ReasonsWhy 3. Find 11 topics locked by Iggy 4. Find 11 blog posts that have to do with writing 5. Complete the 11s Survey blog 6. Find 11 threads over 11 pages long 7. Find 11 pinned threads 8. Find 11 posts with at least two quote boxes within it 9. 11 members with a cartoonish avatar 10. 11 members with a post count over 3000 11. 11 works with 11+ likes Blog survey: [b]1. Eleven favorite colors.[/b] [b]2. Eleven favorite songs.[/b] [b]3. Eleven favorite animals.[/b] [b]4. Eleven favorite movies.[/b] [b]5. Eleven favorite famous people.[/b] [b]6.

@meandbooks, doesn't mean they're gonna win.

I haven't done any tallying yet, just allowing entries to flow in. ^^

I went to confront noisy neighbours, only to find the windows dark, stuck with two notes. The ghost, too, had "gone fishing". Something still whistled.
