[queentina3]

I entered. LOL @ pinkster, any gnome she wants. I wish I could gift gnomes to her. :)

[aiyayu]

The Leprechaun is real or was it photoshop'ed in?

[awertie]

I entered. I wonder how many other people entered before me?

[pinkster73]

[MMSIsaac]

But if anyone is wrong, then you'll have a chance of being right! You should PM anyways!

That's the spirit!

[aiyayu]

gosh darn that red herring >__>

[sweetstuff525]

I guess I am late but still sent pm hey you never know

[pinkster73]

So who won?

[aiyayu]

Either BP isn't online or noone found it O____o

[sweetstuff525]

I found it but not sure I gave right coordinates

[bigbux3]

I found it but not sure I gave right coordinates

Me too. This picture should be in higher quality too.

[mtytomlinson]

I can't find it... It's too blur. :/

[cast1532]

So, where is he? I can't find him and I won't even enter since its past midnight.

[Ic3e]

Entered! Gems to Fashion. :)

[sweetstuff525]

So did anyone win? When will winners be announced?

[queentina3]

BP didn't state when, but I would think we'd find out sometime today since there could only be so many winners. :)

[pillowpetluvr21]

To enter do you just have to Pm them the answer?

[fantanafootball]

This contest sucks the picture is blury

[queentina3]

To enter do you just have to Pm them the answer?

Yup, and you should PM because others before you may have given the wrong answer.

[sourlicorice2]

Nice contest. I'm too late I'm sure and not gonna bother. The picture is too blurry and it was giving me a headache trying to look for the gnome.

[pinkster73]

The blurry pic makes it more challenging. I didn't mind that.

[ultrafrog]

Not a very good contest I think. First, as mentioned, the picture is terribly blurry.

Secondly, by limiting winners to posters that reply first means that most people don't get to participate.. After all, half the world is asleep at any given time.

I think the method that was used before was fine, put a deadline on contest submission, like 1 day, then do a random drawing to see if the poster had the correct answer.

I don't get the part about the random drawing.

[queentina3]

Yeah but ultrafrog, I never win Random Drawings. :( :p

Just like when I want a limited item, like the FIREPLACE FOR BAKERY, I didn't get the offer, but I get it in all the other games that I HATE THE LIMITED OFFER. :( :p hahaha

[FarmerZionLion]

I tried to use a digital image enhancer ...got a clean large image...still didn't help :P

[sourlicorice2]

The blurry pic makes it more challenging. I didn't mind that.

Lol I wouldn't have minded but it literally was giving me a headache looking at it. It's like when I get my hair cut and I have to take off my glasses, if I don't keep my eyes closed I get a headache from the strain on my eyes.

[sourlicorice2]

No matter though. There will be plenty of other contests I can enter anyways.

[aiyayu]

I tried to use a digital image enhancer ...got a clean large image...still didn't help :P
Yeah those jpeg artifacts don't help at all. PNG create an image without loss of quality and is smaller than a BMP ^^

[ultrafrog]

I don't get the part about the random drawing.

Random drawing like this -
http://forums.teamlava.com/showthread.php?13658-Nightclub-of-the-Week-June-24th-July-1st
How the winner will be chosen:
This event is open to everyone. We will have a random number each week. The player who posted on that number will win. For example, if our number was 8, the eighth player to post a picture of their club will win! If the posts don't reach the number we are thinking of, the last player to post will win. Only posts with photos of nightclubs will count.

In this case whomever got chosen would get their answer checked instead of just winning.

[catgirl477]

Found him! Hope I'm not to late! Just sent PM


GO PURPLE CATS!
Not accepting new neighbors at the time, sorry guys;(
need to contact me for any reason? Send me a PM pretty please!

Oh ok. I was thinking you meant something like butterpanda should have drawn him in a random place or something. I was like what? Random drawing, not random drawing. I'm so pretty :)

[bobbyrae]

I'm so pretty :)

dwl....lol.... lol.

[catgirl477]

Are you a blonde pinkster?

Lol JK!

[pinkster73]

Lol JK!

Actually yes :)

[viviansmo]

LOLOL!! You are pretty. :D
random choosing...

and I agree that a random drawing (choosing) of correct entries would be more "fair" than a timed contest like this because of global time differences. But I have no objection to any contest. There will be others I can enter in the future since this one doesn't suit me.

I didn't bother to enter because (a) it is highly unlikely I'd be the fourth one to PM BP considering the # of posters before me, but mostly because (b) I still can't find the dang gnome. :p

[driftboutique]

I wish there had been real-time announcements, like "I have twelve PMs so far but no right answers." Just something to make it seem more interactive and engaging. It's kind of weird to have a contest than could be over in minutes but not give updates or announce winners. Unless the winners got PMed and we have no idea!

[queentina3]

Poor BP, handling 2 contests at once. It was 450p when the contest posted, so probably had to skeddadle and will get back to us at some point today, no worries. :)

[pinkster73]

Did anyone get pm'ed?

[queentina3]

Not yet. Waiting as patiently as I can. LOL

[ButterPanda]

I have checked all the PM's and so far only 1 person has sent me the correct coordinates. Which means, there are still 3 more spots for 2nd 3rd and 4th place!!

[sweetstuff525]

Can You tell us who got it right? Can we try more than one time?

[iusedtobedigusr]

Is it actually seeable or hidden so we guess?

[iusedtobedigusr]

And when I sent mine in was kinda/sorta between 2 different , So I may have been wrong, but need to place exactly into those if making a game of it.

[ButterPanda]

As a suggestion, try zooming in on the image once or twice. Not too much otherwise it'll get blurry. Also remember this is the leprechaun gnome, not the regular green gnome so it's a lighter shade of green.

[veenilla]

Who won? :(

[queentina3]

Nobody yet, BP only received 1 correct entry so far.

[aiyayu]

I don't suppose you could announce who won? That way that person can stop staring at the pixels. Oh those darn pixels >____>

[veenilla]

yea =/

[veenilla]

or did BP send a reply to the person that won 1st place

[cast1532]

I think I found him. You will not find his whole statue and I hope I got the coordinates right.

Can we enter more than one?

[iusedtobedigusr]

I Refuse to **** off my 50 year old eye balls for this if it's a futile gesture.

[pinkster73]

Oh there's more then one? Oops ha ha

[iusedtobedigusr]

Oh there's more then one? Oops ha ha

1 guess at it? That dancing cow was spanked!!!!!!

[aiyayu]

I entered twice, because I was fooled by the dark green gnome at first then after much staring i sent a 2nd entry that i hope is correct. Maybe BP is keeping mum to prevent the correct answer from circulating >___>

[queentina3]

I just tried again, since we haven't been told we can only try once. :p

[iusedtobedigusr]

I sent him a second guess, since no answer, either in trash or may help.

[pinkster73]

I tried again too. I'm almost blind now ;)

[iusedtobedigusr]

Well he was online, so not hard to type something in...................

[iusedtobedigusr]

I tried again too. I'm almost blind now ;)

Actually I have a Braille keyboard, I read way too much as a kid and got really bad eyes now, Have a 30 inch moniter and do full screen for reading. But otherwise I can see.

[iusedtobedigusr]

Why when I do farm etc with the "OLD PEOPLE READING GLASSES" and it boots m, YES BOOT, not the Android BS, I get so upset.

[awertie]

I entered again, too!

[atlantisonearth]

Is this contest over?

[iusedtobedigusr]

Is this contest over?

Do it, never said got last 3 and BP running it. Just read all posts.

[atlantisonearth]

I think its over, because this thread is not stickied anymore.

Hey, worth a try!

[awertie]

I think its over, because this thread is not stickied anymore.

Hey, worth a try!

This thread never was stickied.

[sweetstuff525]

Tried again omg I want gems to fashion

[maryindigo]

Congrats to the winners!!! How did you guys see that, I still don't see the green leprechan with those coordinates but my eyes are not what they use to be.

[aiyayu]

I don't suppose you have a close up of the area? I can't really discern the gnome o.O

[pinkster73]

Congrats to the winners!!! How did you guys see that, I still don't see the green leprechan with those coordinates but my eyes are not what they use to be.

Here is a close up:
http://i40.tinypic.com/21d36t4.jpg

[pinkster73]

I can see my kids drop a frosted flake from across the room wa ah ah

[XnoturbabeX]

Lol atleast I was in the ball park. Fun stuff :)

[maryindigo]

Ah, I see it now, thanks for the close up.

[viviansmo]

congratulations, winners!
(color for pinkster, of course!)

I so did not see that and guessed something completely different. ah well. maybe next time!

[pinkster73]

I still want to buy that gnome

[yanochka]

Thanks for the close up - however he doesn't look like the one in instructions

[JuniperFruit]

That was fun, I saw the contest last night right before we were about to go to bed and I'm like in a panic trying to find it while my hubby is in the back ground "it's just a stupid gnome, i'll buy you a real one let's go to sleep" haha

[mtytomlinson]

Isnt it a gnome with a long hat...? Hahahah

[EricasYummys]

Thanks for the close up - however he doesn't look like the one in instructions

I agree. That one has a long hat and the one in instructions does not.

[bobbyrae]

I agree. That one has a long hat and the one in instructions does not.

That's what i thought too...that's why I went with 22k... Oh well...on to the next game

[bobbyrae]

Congrats pinkster and all the others who spotted that gnome. :)

[viviansmo]

I agree. That one has a long hat and the one in instructions does not.

I thought so too... But look closely at the close-up, and the green that we all took as long hat is actually the green ground peeking from underneath the garden arch.

[driftboutique]

It looks quite similar to the thing I identified as a gnome... I must have been fooled by a penguin gnome or something. Ah, well. Congrats winners :)

[RealFarmer1222]

pinkster....found a gnome????

Gee, what a surprise:rolleyes:

[queentina3]

pinkster....found a gnome????

Gee, what a surprise:rolleyes:
LOL, it's that gnome radar of hers, she should market it. :p

[EricasYummys]

Anybody who could find that deserves double the gems they got!

[pinkster73]

pinkster....found a gnome????

Gee, what a surprise:rolleyes:

I know! This game was right up my alley :)

[EricasYummys]

Anybody who could find that deserves double the gems they got!

Or for Pinkster the gems & the knome

[pinkster73]

Or for Pinkster the gems & the knome

I would buy the gnome with the gems when I get them

[pops1972]

Beware of any New gnomes that need parts. You never know what it will turn out to be. The thought is frightening!

[sourlicorice2]

Congrats to the winners :-) lol even with the coordinates to its location I still could not see it. Pictures just to blurry.

I'm happy to see pinkster won :-)

[sourlicorice2]

Lol I see it now man I'm blind as a bat ;-)

[pinkster73]

Good contest. It will be even better when we're actually awarded the prize :p

[RealFarmer1222]

LOL, it's that gnome radar of hers, she should market it. :p

It's GNADAR!!!!
