So, here's the deal.... Gonna have a little OTDTO Rally fun.

See the picture above? We have some members of the DT.org site already in attendance at the rally... your job is to find them and identify as many as you can.
Some are easy, some are a bit harder. No, Waldo is NOT in the picture...

You can download a large resolution version from my deviant art.com (http://art.com/) account.
Here is that link (the download button is on the right side of the screen, though you may have to scroll down to see it) :

http://austindj.deviantart.com/#/art...?_sid=19197c34 (http://austindj.deviantart.com/#/art/Occupy-The-Dt-Rally-359349192?_sid=19197c34)

Whoever identifies the most DT.org members in the picture wins a Prize.

an "early signed/dated" 1st edition of HORNS (signed by Joe Hill)
and
a 1st edition of the Dark Tower VII - signed by the artist Michael Whelan
Both books are in very fine condition.

For every person that identifies ALL DT.org members in the above picture, I will donate $5.00 to the Haven Foundation - up to $200.00

Here are the Rules:
1. You must email or message me your answers during Occupy day between the hours of 12:00 EST and 5:00 PM EST.
(That means you have to log into the site during those hours - do NOT send me your list early... and only one entry per person).

2. In the event 2 or more people identify the most people... I'll post this, and then I will draw from those finalists for the winner of the contest.

3. You have to email me the DT.org screen names of the people you find in the picture (real names are not necessary).

4. You get one point for every correctly ID person...
BUT if you identify incorrectly someone NOT in the photo... you lose a point.
The winner is the person that has the most points.
Note: this is to prevent people from just sending a list of random names hoping they get some correct.

5. Have FUN

if you have trouble downloading the pic from my deviant account, send me your email and I'll send (at my convenience) you a large resolution copy. But please try downloading first, so that I don't have a 1000 emails to answer.

Right! Downloading tonight when I get home.

Great idea

Ps does anyone else have mixed emotions looking at Boomme's avatar?

I see my sign but I can't see if I'm holding it up! Silly-ass question perhaps ... are we identifying people, avatars, or both?

P.S. Outstanding photoshop job. I almost missed the "Show Your Boobs for Charity" sign because I was scanning the crowd!

VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!

Hey Mr Flag.... and everyone else..
If you spot yourself.... PLEASE DON'T post it on the boards... that kind of defeats the purpose of the contest....

OK everyone.... we all know RF is in the picture.... so that's one for everyone...

if everyone else ends up posting that they are in the picture.... this isn't going to be much of a contest....

Board names please... three could be 3 marks, 6 terry's... 14 rebeccas (now that'd be nice....) - but only 1 becca69

You have to admire a woman who uses "69" in her user title. That denotes self confidence.

Sir_Boomme
03-16-2013, 11:05 AM
remember...

incorrectly IDing someone counts AGAINST your total.... so incorrect guessing can hurt your chances.

Sir_Boomme
03-16-2013, 11:12 AM
"remember...

incorrectly IDing someone counts AGAINST your total.... so incorrect guessing can hurt your chances."

with that in mind...
if anyone wishes to have one chance to revise their list... you may do so only once.
but please include the comment " this is a revision" so that I know which list to count.

all lists (original or revised) need to be messaged to me by 5:00 EST pm today

Sir_Boomme
03-16-2013, 11:19 AM
also... tomorrow morning I will post a pic with the correct answers, so you can see how you did.

however... (as I've already notified our Occupy leadership)

My new (civilian) job starts on Monday, and I got notice yesterday afternoon that they expect me to work the next three weeks in Dallas, while they continue to try to secure office space here in Austin.

Two day notice really really sucks - I had to rush around to find a place to board the pups... call my instructors at school to notify them I'll be missing classes, etc. - and rushing around trying to prep the pool, do laundry, pack, and a bunch of other things required for a 3 week trip.

Anyway, that said, I may not get the results all tallied until the middle of the week (if the hotel has wifi and I can connect)...

otherwise, it might be several days, when I come back into town for the weekend, before I can break and get all the entries tallied.... I have quite a few do and my time is at a premium for the next 48 hours. So there will be a winner, but please be patient to hear who it is.

Have no worries, Terry!!! I got your back. This will be a pleasant surprise when you have the time!!! You did so much for the "Occupy" movement I say we cut him as much slack as he needs!!!!

P.S.

You're not leaving that fucking dog with "Civilians" are you? LOL LOL LOL

I saw Shannon's lovely face.
Becca69 was noted, but no user title

03-17-2013, 04:11 PM
Yep, you forgot my name. I also took some people off my list and added others who weren't there. Serves me right looking at the pic online. Looks totally different when you download it!

Lesson learned for me I did not download I just saved the image that was on the page. Maybe next year.

The results are In!!!

First, I'd like to thank everyone who played! I had a great time playing with the picture and I hope nobody was to PO'd about me using their faces.

Second... Nobody got all of the faces correct... counting Crazy Dog and Pennywise (and no sign images)... there were 20 correct responses. Without Crazy Dog and Pennywise, there were 18 correct answers.
Note: While I gave credit for listing Crazy Dog and/or Pennywise... the top two placers listed neither... so they did not make a difference in the contest outcome.

Though nobody got all 18 real members correct... I plan to donate $50.00 to the Haven Foundation in the name of Crazy Dog.... a very misunderstood pup... in hopes it improves his reputation some.

drum role please.... The TOP TWO contestants...

Scoogs and Ari

Scoogs got 17 out of 20 total possible correct IDs
- with 2 mis-identifieds for a total of 15 points

Ari got 17 out of 20 total possible correct IDs
- with 0 mis-identifieds for a total of 17 points

as that great philosopher Gomer Pyle sometimes said....
" SURPRISE SURPRISE SURPRISE!! "

Ari is the winner... of yet another contest. (damn... couldn't someone closer have won... this shipping is going to kill me ha ha)

hey Ari.... PM me your info. and I'll send ya some new goodies.

Sir_Boomme
03-24-2013, 04:18 PM
BTW...
Becca69, RF, Merlin and Shannon must spend way to much time here....

Nobody missed IDing those four.

I can definitely understand Becca... she's HOT
I can kind of understand RF... he's the Boss
I can kind of understand Merlin... he's the resistance... and he's to damn big to miss.

But everyone got Shannon??? while some missed me????
what's up with that?

guess I'm going to have to post that pink tutu picture of me in every thread here.

For some reason I thought Needfulthings was Mulliens and got that one wrong.

LOL. Excellent!! Thanks! It was super funny to find my boss' head there! Hahaha. At first I was looking at him and said "Alright...this guy is my boss' twin!". And then when I found the pic, I realized it was him! LOL.

THANK YOU! It was a really funny contest! I'll send you a PM right away :)
