Okay Aleph, it's time to come clean. I lied about the 23 minute time. I found a brazilian pro player who said he thought he could but didn't have time to get me a recorded game, so I have to fess up to my fib.

Anyways, the list of times:

NAME	TIME
Aleph	26.01
John_The_Late	28.17
Hockey	28.32
Jan	29.34
Popey	29.42
RHJ	32.04
Regan	33.52
MrMew	35.22
Croboss	37.45
CPR	42.21

CPR has been eliminated.

Now that I've typed that up, next I'll be typing up the NEXT CHALLENGE!

it'll be a scavenger hunt very similar to the last survivor, but the items will be weighted in point value. more details to come within a few hours, all I have to do is type it out and post it.

I knew it!

Quoted from Aleph:
Or did you just say that to troll my ego?

Still, I'm not sure whether I should be proud or disappointed. Even my first attempt was faster than the rest of you.

THE SECOND CHALLENGE: deadline is May 13th

Submit a photo or photos of a number of items that will be listed below. Each item has a point value. The person who has the least points by the deadline will be eliminated.

When submitting your photos, do so using an album on imgur. No photobucket or tinypic, please! (you don't need to sign up for imgur even, so no complaining)

It must be obvious that you are the person who took the picture. however you wish to do this, that's up to you. a sheet of paper with your screen name and the date in the shot should do.

The list:

ITEM	POINT VALUE
AoK Merchandise*	15
A Sharpie Other Than Black**	2
A Handwritten Letter	3
Something 3d-Printed	4
A bullclip	1
A Key	1
A Wireless Mouse	1
A Roll of Tape	1
A Calculator	1
A Can of a Soft Drink From Your Country	2
Something related to your current or past school	1
A pet	3
A patterned sock	4
A picture of yourself¹	2
A pair of Chopsticks	2
A bottle containing something alcoholic	2
A stick of DDR1 Ram²	3
A pentium processor³	4
A jersey	1
A textbook	1
A cellphone, not a smartphone	2
An UNUSED tampon or pad	4
TOTAL:	60

* not a game disk or box, I mean one of the trebuchets or trading cards or t-shirts.
** can be black for only 1 point
¹ you may hide your face, just make it clear it's you.
² you may post DDR2 or DDR4 for 2 points, or DDR3 for 1 point.
³ or proof you have one. a CPU-Z screenshot, with a notepad screen in the background with your info, or a picture with your info and a sticker that says pentium

Um... Carol?

This list is very poorly balanced... I mean half of these things you probably have at your desk. A quarter are unobtainable for several people and an instant win is guaranteed if you happen to have aok merch

CK, I think you should consider swapping out several elements that are quite unobtainable in the circumstances. For instance, AoK merchandise is rare, it's 2015 and no one wants a Pentium in their houses, the pet point is just way too circumstantial, and several of the underage people might find it hard to get a hold of alcohol.

one, there is no win, it's simply avoiding being knocked out.

For instance, AoK merchandise is rare,

and for this reason I don't forsee one person getting knocked out because they're the only one without AoK merch. The WHOLE point of the AoK merch was because this is an AoK site, having something like that should be very valuable.

as for the pentium and ddr1, I understand your points. would the substitutions of "two coins from different currencies" and "a bottle cap" be okay with you guys?

It might just be me but a lot of these items seem oddly specific to yourself.

something 3-d printed
a pet looking at the camera
a red patterned sock

an UNUSED tampon or pad

I'm guessing a used one doesn't get 1 point?

a can of soft drink from your country

An invitation for all 'muricans to send pics of Coca Cola and Pepsi.

Something related to your current or past school

And I'm pretty sure this goes against the CoC.

Last point; 'jersey' and 'handwritten letter' are fairly vague.

I have a pentium. *cowers from bombardment of rocks*

I'm a guy. I don't have a tampon or pad in my house. only one who'd get an easy 4 points is RHJ. everyone else would either need to man up and buy a box (they're great for nosebleeds, btw, so havign some on hand isn't terrible) or ask someone for one

And I'm pretty sure this goes against the CoC.

Last point; 'jersey' and 'handwritten letter' are fairly vague.

even just school colors.

jersey. like football or soccer or hockey jersey. it's pretty straightforward.

handwritten letter is anything that you would put in the mail to send, or was sent to you via the mail, and is handwritten. it's not vague, it's just not common anymore and that's why I selected it for the list.

If people are currently in school and under the age of eighteen then isn't it illegal, or at least kind of strange, to pretty much ask them their school on an internet forum? (I apoligise if I am wrong here, I haven't actually read the CoC. I just assumed there would be something about it.)

Anyway I have 19 of these pretty much in the bag.

I'm not sure you can. especially the "keep calm and play age of empires" doesn't count. when I say AoK merch, I mean stuff from back when the game launched. I honestly don't expect anyone to have any.

Now that's 4 points in the bag for me just because I have a uterus! It has come in handy for once

I wonder how many tampons you have to buy at once...

CK, would you count the AoE2 Gold Collector's edition as merch?

What constitutes a "jersey"? The shirt of a sporting team? Or a pullover jumper?

Can we use a brand other than Sharpie?
Can our pet be a soft toy?
Does a Gold Edition with all four of the games count as AoK merchandise?

Damn I have a Core 2 Duo instead of a pentium.

When you say jersey, do you mean the wikipedia definition of jersey, meaning a knitted, woollen shirt that does not have an open front?

CK, would you count the AoE2 Gold Collector's edition as merch?

I would also like to know these answers, as I have both.

As a side-note: CK, how the heck did you manage to have this scavenger hunt right when I'm visiting my parents, just like in the first survivor when I was also visiting my parents when the similar round was on

? Not that I'm complaining, I'm having much more luck finding stuff here than if I were at home.

1. Gold edition boxed sets do not count. That's a copy of the game, even if a nice one.

2. The list will be seeing some changes here in the next couple hours to be fair, following Watson's suggestions.

3. A jersey is a nylon or other breathable fabric shirt worn by athletes during their competition, often available for sale to fans as copies of their favorite player's jersey. For example:
