Photo Challenge: Whacking Day
ends: Friday, May 17
 Feeling all tapped out yet? Those snakes driving you completely insane? Tired of seeing eggs all over your streets? Well, the photo challenge wants you to take a break from snake whacking and egg cracking, and show us your spoils! Your challenge is to create a well designed and put together Whacking Day central. A big catch in this photo challenge is that we want your scene to look like it is well put together, and not simply thrown in a corner for the contest purposes. Be creative! There is also no leader bonus in this challenge, so take your time! Whacking Day Prizes (including characters): 5 points Characters on Whacking Day Related Tasks: +5 Whacking Day Non-Premium Items: +3 Whacking Day Premium Items: +2 Bonus Points:Snakes or Eggs: +1 with a max of 25 combined Most well thought out or "put together" scene: +25 !!!Warning!!!
The judges are looking for specific tasks, so think carefully about what tasks to put your characters on. There is no penalty for having your characters on a Non-Whacking-Day related task. NOTE: PCC reserves the right to modify the rules / point structure mid-challenge should an adjustment be necessary. Should a change occur you are permitted to resubmit your entry. |

Is that 5 points per prize/WD character? And when you say you want specific WD tasks, does that mean we have to guess the one's you're thinking of, or just they have to be specifically the tasks brought about by the Whacking Day update?

And when you say you want specific WD tasks, does that mean we have to guess the one's you're thinking of, or just they have to be specifically the tasks brought about by the Whacking Day update? Yes, 5 points for each of the WD prizes (the ones earned by whacking snakes). As far as the tasks, we are looking for the ones that are specific to whacking day and not just the side-tasks. For example, Duff Man flying at the stadium or Skinner hide from Lisa would not count. Although they were included as part of the WD storyline, they may or may not be tasks that will stay after the event. I hope that helps and good luck! |

No, he does not since he isn't specifically Whacking Day related. |

If you think whacking 12,500 snakes is a challenge, try to squeeze all the prizes into one screen shot… Anyway heres my attempt:  Mayor Quimby managed to bring most of Springfield's weaponry for the Whacking day final. In addition to the favored whacking stick we can also find more sophisticated(?) alternatives such as flame throwers, hand guns, laser guns, BB guns, slingshots, swords etc. etc. Some wild beasts are held in cages ready to be released in the case of a snake shortage
As a side note: Miss Springfield decided to leave her "stick" at the Motel. Come on, whats the point with another snake task for the "grand prize" character? |

Ankarstroom, wow you even managed to get Sideshow Bob in your screenshot. Good job. Hehe, yes I noticed. Can't say it was intentional, I leave him to roam freely but his patterns are quite unpredictable. |

 Here is my scene, I am considering it a souvenir of the WD event, I would have liked to catch Sideshow Bob in here since he has been roaming my town, and I wish I could have captured more snakes in this pic, oh well.. |

Here's what I was working on but I didn't bother to finish it after seeing ankarstrooms and then realising that I hadn't read the guidelines properly (haven't got any of the WD prizes in there). Ankarstroom yours is amazing and you should totally win! I submit. Well done  |

I don't care what event this is - what you captured is briliant. If this is truly captured and not some sort of PhotoShop, then I am awed beyond words. Even if Photoshopped, it's still outstanding. Well done! |

Was forgetting about this. Good thing WD hasn't finished yet. Here's mine.  Link to bigger picture: tinypic.com/view.php?pic=1607k3p&s=5 all WD premium and non-premium items are there. All prizes there. All characters on WD tasks (including Willie and Miss Springfield), Plenty o' snakes and eggs, etc, etc. Edit: just realised Willie wrestling the snake is cropped out of this. He's supposed to be beside Homer. Oh well, will have to do without those 5 points. |

I've decided to extend the deadline since Whacking Day was extended. I want to give more people a chance to enter.  |

Phew! Getting everything in one screenshot was as hard as Ankarstroom said! I had the hardest time spacing everyone out. There's overlap, but this was the best I could do.  All the residents of Springfield have come out in full force to celebrate Whacking Day on the greens of Fort Sensible. Several musicians are on site to provide entertainment, and plenty of ambulances are ready for the imminent fallout. The usual clubs and guns are present, but Springfieldians have gotten quite creative on ways to get a leg up on the competition. Flamethrowers and swords would appear to be overkill, but not for Hank and Carl. Jealous of Frink's flying contraption, Sideshow Mel thought a shot out of the cannon would help him catch up to more snakes, but he suffered an epic fail. Lugash, Krusty and Tatum are using animals to help them hunt. Bart tries stealth mode by hiding behind people with his slingshot and Kearney is kicking his snakes, while Duffman and the Reverend have simply decided to run over their prey. Kang looks upon this scene of brutality with evil joy and laughter. As you can see, local businesses are capitalizing on the insanity, having set up shop nearby. Apu is busy running his 24 hour Whacking Day promotion and Snake, in his usual fashion, takes advantage of the chaos. Fat Tony can't be bothered to whack snakes so he's ported a hot tub to relax in while he enjoys the entertainment. His lackies hope their dirty work goes unnoticed among the crowds, and Moe takes the distraction as an opportunity to start up his endangered species smuggling again. Dr. Nicks sees the chance to peddle some street drugs, while Ralph and Grandpa are off doing their own things as usual. Barney, in his normal fashion, is passed out drunk by the pond as Blinky stares on quizzically. Bless her heart, Lisa escapes from the mess by training for her upcoming Gymnastics meet. She did however succeed in talking Marge and Edna into protesting the event. Lisa's backup plan is to turn on the snake speakers and draw the snakes into the Sleep Eazy Motel if needed. |

Congratulations, Ankarstroom, on your sixth win! You've done it again. With another Photo Challenge win under your belt, it seems you are still the reigning king of Photo Challenges! Another shiny badge is on it's way. |
