				<title>The #076 Close Up Competition Thread</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hi,

In honour of season 1 card  <a href="http://www.perplexcitycardcatalog.com/1/076/" target="_new"> #076 Close Up </a>, and in the time honoured tradition of  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ask_the_Family" target="_new"> Ask The Family </a>, I thought I’d start this thread.

<span style="color:darkblue"><u>Instructions:</u></span>

If it is your turn, take a photograph of a common household object, from whatever peculiar angle you choose.  Then (using photoshop or similar) zoom in on a feature of this object, thereby cropping it from its context.  Resize this image to 380 by 380 pixels, and host it at <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_new"> Photobucket </a>  (or similar) posting the image (IMG) in this thread.

<span style="color:darkblue"><u>The Rules </u>(can be amended if we see fit):</span>

Players must post their best guess as to what the object is.
The player that successfully identifies the object takes the next turn and must post a new image (or nominate someone else to do so).

However, if the object has not been identified after 8 guesses, then the player whose turn it is must post another copy of the same photograph, but viewed from a greater distance.
If the object has not been identified after another 6 guesses, then the player whose turn it is must post a final image, revealing even more of the original photograph.
If the object has not been identified after a final 4 guesses, the player whose turn it is can be declared to have beaten all-comers, and must post a final image revealing what the object is, and choose who should go next, based on the answers posted.

The Rotek clause: If no-one guesses for, say, 2 or 3 days, then a zoomed out version of the picture [must] be posted.




Note: As a guide, all images are probably best being approx 380 by 380 pixels except the final, revealing image, which should be no larger than 500 by 380 pixels.

				<description><![CDATA[ Agreed - great thread idea, sloth! I can't get the idea out of my head that the 2 smaller circles are for charging something up. Maybe an electric toothbrush? (I figure that's wrong, but struggling to work out what it really is ;)

Would also fit in at http://facesisplaces.blogspot.com/ ;)

(Doh: That should be http://facesinplaces.blogspot.com/ - my bad!)]]></description>

EDIT: Also, though we don't have a problem at the moment, might it be an idea to amend the rules to say that if no-one guesses for, say, 2 or 3 days, then a zoomed out version of the picture can be posted (unless it'll mean a forth photo)? That way the game will keep moving. Just an idea, hope it sounds clear!]]></description>

Good idea, and the number of guesses thing was only to see how it goes, this can be altered to suit.

Also, sorry.  It's not the bottom of a light bulb!  So that's three down  :wink:]]></description>

Looks like this one'll stretch you a little then :D (although it's definitely not an uncommon item). Maybe I'll post some small hints at lunchtime, depending on how you do...]]></description>

Many thanks Ravenstorm for passing it on, I hope you are bearing up OK.



As to the object, again I haven't a clue.  it does look as though it is metallic, possibly a wheel in some sort of machine?

My long shot is that it is part of a printer.

4folio77dan, when you said <blockquote>p.s i'm willing to bet this thread is going to fade away soon.</blockquote> is that a clue?

				<description><![CDATA[ no it wasn't a clue haha i'm not that cryptic, but i will say ,, the black bit is the only part of the actual thing which now makes me feel bad. but i did take the picture with the object standing on my printer so good eyes.

Spot on 4folio77dan!! 

In fact, it is a picture of a fire-poker taken from the handle end. Here's the proof!

<img src="http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc100/AndyAndyO/poker.jpg" alt="[image]" />

Up to now, I thought curtain-rail was the best guess, because they have the same style of iron-work.

Well done! It's your turn again!]]></description>

Correct! Yay, I've sucessfully provided the shortest lasting picture in the contest! Slightly under 24 hours I think. Go me!  :)  (Wait, that's probably not something I should be happy about...) 

Anyway, I would have also accepted 'backpack':

				<description><![CDATA[ Hmm, ok. I'm away-ish from the Internet as of Saturday to Tuesday though, so responses may be a little slow. If I get a few pictures lined up ready to go, that may make it easier.

I'll pick something easy and post it in a bit :)

				<description><![CDATA[ Back from travels, it's not a cooker timer (VI), a sprinkler system or water softener (VII-ish), nor a... chronothermometer? (I made that up - sounds like you're describing a barometer, sloth007, but that measures ait pressure. And no, not a barometer either ;) ) (VII)

So I think it's time for a "better" picture...

Any better?

				<description><![CDATA[ Either my first picture was too obscure, or everyone's still on holiday. Since no-one's made any guesses in the last few days, according to the rules, I should post the next picture. However, unless I get shouted down, I'm going to assume that you're all just too far away from your computers to make guesses, so I'll wait until tomorrow]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ I think you are safe in your assumption that everyone is still in Holiday mode, so I wouldn't worry about posting another pic just yet.  As far as guessing goes, I haven't a clue, but is that hole thing some kind of eyelet?]]></description>
