Greetings, fellow gifthunters! I am new and improved version of the former inferior CL4P-TP General Purpose Robots. I am 0GR8Y, but you can call me O'Grady! Or Lord Commander of you each and every move! Ahahaha!

Anyway, I was told to grant you access to our super-secret hideyhole. It's big and smelly and full of gooey stuff, kinda like you! So here you go.

Oh, wait, I forgot. Yeah, you kinda have to solve a quest and since I was not told which one you're somewhat boned. Alright then. See you later!

You want access anyway? Oh. I suppose I could make up a quest for you.
First of all, I need you to collect 138377 brown rocks. Exactly. Exactly 138377 brown rocks. Then, you will have to fight the deadly three-eyed, saw-genitaled beast known as Ratzepimmel. After that, I command you to retrieve the ancient, lost weapon of unimaginable power that defies all description and hurl it into the fiery heart of the planet itself. THEN you shall defeat the Destroyer of Worlds and bring me its head, and finally you shall dance for my amusement! AHAHAHA!
So, to repeat, your tasks are to:

  • Collect 138377 brown rocks
  • Fight Ratzepimmel
  • Destroy ancient weapon
  • Retrieve the head of the Destroyer of Worlds
  • Dance, puppets, dance!

Now as the superior model I have eschewed the need for locomotion so I need you to bring me photographic evidence of your exploits. Just send it over to 0GR8y@gmx.net and I will have a look. Remember, it's REEEEEAAAAALLY important that I can see you solving or having solved the quest. Oh, and add your name, too, so I can tell you guys apart. I need all tasks completed by saturday next week - that's november the 24th - and everyone who participated in completing any of the tasks shall be known as the greed-master and I will tell them the location of our secret stuff. You can beat each other up over it when you're there or something, I don't care, I'm an immobile robot so my life is an unmitigated series of hellish torture anyway!

EDIT: Oh, by the way, apparently you guys work on this together, so it's totally OK if you post one part of the quest each. No need to have one person do everything.

Sorry for the lacking images, poor camera and taking photos of myself is difficult when I can't see. It also made for a poor dance photo.

They want it in the email shown in the opening post, but share the pictures here as well. More fun for all of us that way.

Yeah I've read that but since people started to post things here, I thought OGrady maybe changed his mind :D

I sure hope so. There are only 7 entries so far, so get your quest on, people! You probably won't see better chances for that game.

It took you days to photoshop? Why not just take photos like I did?

Guys, seriously, if you try to scam an immensely clever and powerful robot at least act like you are trying. Just reposting pictures you found somewhere and label them "me doing x" is not photographic evidence. At least shop your photo in there, so that it looks like effort.

Yes, this. Hell, I got a train to honk at me when I wasn't looking during one of the pictures. At least make an effort.

Without knowing the people entering in person you cannot really claim that they are not making an effort. Some of them may in fact suffer from disabilities that in fact mean searching for pictures on the net is the maximum they could do. Try not to paint everyone with the same brush ;)

I've entered myself, but it seems like people actually taking photos was rare from what the email said. Most have just been images that would have been found on the internet. I'm sure not all of those people would be prevented from doing photos.

So, if they are not even able to use Photoshop, how exactly would they play Borderlands then?

I'll use a personal observation here. I have difficulty with fine motor control (intermittent) which causes a lot of problems especially while gaming. To get around this I often game with a 360 controller as this still allows me some gaming pleasure for when I am unable to use a mouse effectively. I am by no means unique so it is entirely possible for others to have similar or even more severe issues. Obviously if I have trouble with a mouse using a camera would be incredibly fiddly/difficult.

End of the day it is your right to make a give away with whatever rules you wish, just try not to accuse people of things without knowing them (or at least having a fairly good idea), it just makes you come across as ignorant and rude. The only thing I was taking issue with was where you said people were trying to scam there way into the give away (some possibly are, but perhaps some aren't) and a reply basically said people were being lazy (again perhaps some are, but perhaps some aren't).

Anyway, just an opinion, didn't intend to cause offence or start an argument so I'll leave it there as I am having trouble typing at this time.

So have someone else make the photos for you. There are a myriads of ways to get something together that's not just googled, but actually creative. It does not require a lot of motor skills, creativity is free for all.

Googling stuff is quite unfair imo and like 0 effort, just copy/paste something in few seconds isnt creative at all. After getting an idea I went to the city even though I have the flu and need to stay at home. Seeing people cheating with some cheap pics they found on google makes me kinda upset.

Well, I would like to point out, that while a lot of people post their pictures here, not nearly all of them even applied for the reward.

I have traveled for months back and forth, through deserts and icy places, barely survived...but in the end my quest came to an end with success!

The rocks were pretty heavy, but I found a place where to deposit them , so you may own them.
Ratzepimmel was quite a tricky fight, his attributes were not that balanced but my agility was far more superior than his and so, our fight concluded with my victory over him.
The head of the destroyer of the Worlds...oh master...what a challenge. I had to use the legendary Excalibur to cut the Beast's head! But in the same time I even destroyed a legendary weapon, thus, completing two objectives at once!
And as a final objective, I had to dance for you... I even invited a friend at dinner and had a party, we were even in the mood of dancing , and it's also a tradition in our place so!

Even tough the original quest has no real objectives, I really enjoyed roleplaying and I do wish you choose me for the prize. Thank you!
