CD's "Name the Mentor" picture contest

[Andy Baker]

OK, it is time for some fun. How about a new game? A few of us were chatting and an idea came up: What did mentors look like when they were kids and teenagers? What did Dave Lavery look like at 10? Was Raul on the baseball team? Who wore those ugly tuxes and prom dresses in the 70's?

This is called the "NAME THE MENTOR" picture game. Mentors will submit pictures, and all of us will guess who they are. It will be wicked fun.

FIRST team mentors, lets see those pictures. If you want to participate, please follow these instructions:

picture must be at least 15 years old
email a scanned version of the picture to mentorpics@indianafirst.org
pictures must be "appropriate"
mentor pics can only be sent by the same person in the pic
suggested picture size 200x200 dpi or larger
submitting the picture allows game administrators to use it


ChiefDelphi.com users, here is where the game comes in. 3 mentor pics will be posted each week. CD users will guess who the mentors are. Follow these rules:
Users only get 1 vote per mentor
1st correct guess gets 2 points
All subsequent correct guesses get 1 point
Any user to guess all 3 pics correctly gets 1 "bonus" point
Discussion can take place as voting takes place, but only on the same post you vote in
each round of 3 pictures will last 1 week


As soon as we get 3 pictures, the game will start.

The fools responsible for this game are Rich Kressly, Karthik Kanagasabapathy, Josh Hambright, and myself.

Enjoy!

[Elgin Clock]

I already put my pic up a while back when I was 10 (15 years ago - Ahhh scary) and yeah.. it was a no brainer who it was.

Sounds like fun though. Can't wait to start the guessing. :)

[Katie Reynolds]

At least 15 years old? Is there a minimum age limit for this? ;)

[Josh Hambright]

There is no age limit, as long as the picture isn't of an embryo, because well honestly all embryos look the same, i know its sad to say but its true, Also keep in mind that most baby pictures before like1 year olds look identicle, or very close to identicle, a ball of hair and chubb wrapped in some cute clothes:)

submissions have started coming in, keep them coming, this game is gonna rock!

[Rich Kressly]

Get ready folks, we're almost ready to rock and roll with our first installment of the game. This is what happens when a couple of whackos get an idea at 2 am. Some excellent photos are already in. If you're a mentor and haven't yet submitted what are you waiting for? Where else will you get this kind of opportunity to humiliate yourself? The game creators vow to rain postivie rep points for those courageous enough to step forth in the name of fun.

[Josh Hambright]

Well folks the pictures for round 1 are online.
Check them out, follow the rules, and have fun:)
Awww aren't these kids just adorable? What happened to them when they grew up?!?! :yikes: So if you want all of us to see how cute you were as a kid or that sweet back to the future costume you wore to your high school halloween party or that killer baby blue tux you wore to prom or that poodle skirt you wore to the pep rally, send your pictures to mentorpics@indianafirst.org and we'll get them into the que for people to guess your identity!

[Madison]

Where are you finding these photos?

[Daniel Brim]

You can submit pictures here (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38339). I'm guessing that Josh ar Andy Baker is taking the lead and running the contest.

[Jeff Rodriguez]

Are we allowed to change our guesses?

[Koko Ed]

I'd put in my own but I think I'd be rather easy to figure out.

[Josh Hambright]

To answer some questions:

M.: They are being submitted by the person in the picture, everyone should submit one!

Daniel: The people responsible are Rich Kressly, Andy Baker, Karthik and myself

ogre: No you get one guess per picture, although it is worth more points to be the first to guess, you dont want to guess before you sure of who it is.

Ed: Come on, it would still be fun to see a picture of you in a little league uniform!

I saw recently a new internet-service that allowed people to search yearbooks from any number of high schools and was generally freaked out by it. It seemed an enormous invasion of privacy. I'm glad to see that people are consenting to have their bad hair displayed to the world :)

[shyra1353]

Is it possible to make sure all the mentors who do submit these pictures have a WAI pic on CD to compare to?

[Rich Kressly]

I was thinking the opposite Shyra. All mentors should take their photos off to increase the difficulty ;) ... This game is turning out to be rather entertaining. I can't wait to see Lavery in a diaper :ahh:

yes .. but there are so many mentors that I havent met that without their WAI pic I can't always remember what they look like ...

[richardp]

How long does guessing last in each round?

[dlavery]

I can't wait to see Lavery in a diaper :ahh:

Even if I were not the subject of this little idea, I have to wonder if Rich's desire isn't more than a little bit creepy. :ahh:

-dave

It was intended to be creepy ;) , but also in the spirit of fun in this game.
Besides, given your advanced age Dave, the diaper thing could be a current picture very soon. In any event, I was just making sure that you saw this. This is your one chance to truly humiliate yourself with no involvement from Heidi or Billfred.

[Josh Hambright]

Round one has been extended so that it will now end on monday, because i am out of town and un able to post more images. So go ahead and keep guessing until monday.

And keep submitting pictures mentorpics@indianafirst.org !

I guess this means that Amanda's face is unforgettable, and Rich's is something we push out of our mind as soon as possible. ;)

Greg Ross takes over sole possession of first place, and for the third straight week earned a bonus point for getting a first correct answer.

Koko Ed is our weekly winner, with 3 points. A special bonus "gold star" goes to Rich Kressly for being unrecognizable.

It's been over a year since the last contest, any plans on resurrecting it?

Lack of submissions or interest?

[raymaniac]

This thread should be deleted, or at least no longer be a sticky. It stopped over a year ago, but it has never disappeared because it is a sticky. The contest should start up again or the thread should die.

[Freddy Schurr]

If anyone wants to partake in the contest, I am willing to help out or start it out again.

OK, I'm sorry. I would like to apologize for my rashness. I have been brought to the light. I will stop criticizing this, and other threads that do not deserve my criticism. I did not realize that this thread is and important part of CD history. I hope this thread will thrive again soon.

But who knows, maybe my criticism will draw some attention to this thread and cause its return. So maybe its not all bad. Until then I would like to once again apologize.

I turned a picture into the INdiana FIRST website for the contest but nothing ever came of it.
I think I'd be kind of easy to figure out anyways. It's on my Myspace.
