(Interpretation of Shadows is left to the imagination of the contestants)

Shadows.

Rules:
Every contest has to have them. I’ll try to keep it simple.

• All submitted videos must:
1. Match the theme of the contest.
2. Contain original content (no copyright infringement) with the exception of music.
3. Mention ClueChaser.com at least once.
4. Promote ClueChaser.com in a positive way.
5. Be rated G (this is a family friendly site)
6. Be in English if it contains dialog. Foreign languages with English subtitles or vice versa are not acceptable.
7. Be posted on YouTube.com (for consistency) and a link to the video sent to admin@cluechaser.com

• Multiple submissions per person are allowed (and encouraged).

• All submissions become the property of ClueChaser.com© and Cowpatty Bill Entertainment©.

• And just in case - Contest is void where prohibited. No purchase necessary. Open to all residents of Earth. Rules subject to change without notice.

Equipment:
For all the videos I’ve created I use Windows Movie Maker for the editing. It’s free and if you have Windows on your computer you probably already have the software. It’s easy to use and quite flexible. However you are free to use whatever software/equipment you like.

Good Luck!

I didn't have any pictures...

So I found this one on ebaumsworld.com about a puzzle/cipher difficulty rating system. It was ranked an 8 (1 is the easiest, 10 is the hardest). It's called Linear A and no ciphering expert or anyone really has been able to crack it yet.

Before I go

A confession:

ok … i am a compulsive overeater, procrastinator, and friendship breaker. I overeat everytime I’m upset, bored.

I can’t seem to do anything unless it is at the last minute. Before then I just lie under the covers and worry about the approaching deadline.

Everytime I have a friendship with someone who is a lot like me, I get annoyed easily and break off the friendship for the stupidest reason. I’m even worse when it comes to significant others.

Games

lolarainwater — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 08:31:33 +0100

My favorite game is Sling-o and Bejewelled. Okay I guess that should be favorite games.

I know everyone would say stuff like poker or chess or checkers but I like to able to play by myself.

What if you don't have anyone to play cards with?

What do you do then?

Stay up till the middle of the night blogging I guess.

Goodnight.

Weighing on my conscience

i hoped that i had been getting less male attention becuase i was considered wierd or a bitch or anything! but no, it was because i was 20 pounds heavier, and now ive lost it again and things have returned to how they were previously. i confess that i only respect the men that appreciated me before, and they are the ones that have a chance with me now.

Girls Night

I am SO excited for tomorrow night, I am going over to my friends house & we are having a spa night. Some adult beverages, a few laughs & a lot of pampering ourselves. Sounds like a good time to me. Bet you wish you were invited,

Generating interest not traffic

This can be hard for anyone in today's world.

I'm posting this with the caveat that the purpose is to get folks who like riddles, or puzzles or games or scavenger hunts to notice Cowpattybill's site. Don't go there if you don't like stuff like that. Curiosity is fine but it's important that you know what the site is about so you don't feel hoodwinked by yours truly.

That said, here's the message.

By Cowpattybill

This is a call to action. I need your help. If you like ClueChaser and are looking forward to Game 3: Chasing Shadows then I’m talking to you. I need you to tell your friends, your families, strangers on the street, everyone you see. Tell them about ClueChaser. Tell them what it’s about, how much fun it is. Tell them where they can find it.

Why?

Because marketing is essential to the success of something like this. Because I can’t do it all myself. Because I’m behind and need the pressure to finish that only a horde of thousands of screaming players can inflict on me. Because I don’t know what it’s like to play it so I can’t describe it the way you can.

What can you do specifically?

Do you have a blog? Talk about ClueChaser.
Do you have an email account? Send emails to your friends and family.
Do you have a Facebook, Myspace or some other social networking account? Tell everyone there about it.
Do you have your own website? Find a place on it to link to ClueChaser and/or talk about it.
Do you work in the media? Find a sneaky way to mention ClueChaser. Put it in a puzzle. People love puzzles.
Do you work for a new company or does your company have a new product? Contact me about including it in a puzzle.
Do people value your opinion? Tell them about ClueChaser.

Have I covered all the ways you can help?

Not by a long shot.
If you have other marketing/advertising ideas let me know.

ClueChaser

Spread the word.

I'm not racist

Stupid old people.
