FOLLOW-UP TASK! Helloooooooooooo again my rock'n'roll fans! Our exciting follow-up task is here and with that, the entries so far are CLOSED! So the Rockstar you posted now is the one you need to go with for now! You shall now place your rock outside or nearby your home ("outside your home" does not necessarily mean out of doors! it just means someplace that's not inside your home! and in some cases you may need to creatively interpret what this means for your entry, do your best and I'll let you know what I think!) and find a special place for it, leave it there and photograph it in that special place! Find your rock a home, a good home, something that represents him and you well, something he and you will find comfortable and nice. Post the home, post the rock, be ready for our big rock co ncert at the end! You have until 5 PM EST, so 2 hours from now to post your rock in his new home, after that the submission period is over and I get to judge your precious rocks and all the stars alongside it! Then we will have a huge Rockstar super concert and enjoy the evening together, with our new rock friends! Does that sound like a plan? I hope it does! Your time begins .. Now!

OFFICIAL SUBMISSION now you might think i've created quite a problem for myself here. you might think that indeed. okay i probably have since first i'd have a lot of trouble shifting my rock and secondly, and more importantly, it would be a complete Australian Word of a move because Uluru is sacred to the Pitjantjatjara people of the area (Anangu in their language). so first i'll tell you a little about the rock while i think of how i'm going to accomplish this - it's a 348 meter tall sandstone formation and measures about 9 and a half kilometers around its perimeter. it famously is red coloured to the presence of a large amount of iron oxide, it's also well known to change colour with the light leading to some pretty amazing photos. it's particularly spectactular at dawn and sunset, glowing a vibrant red. we know that people have been living around there for at least 10,000 years and probably much, much longer and they have many Dreamtime stories related to it though for the sake of brevity i'll leave that to the reader's own ability to find. now while i've had you distracted telling you a little bit about my rock, i put in a few calls and was able to get this photo of where i left it - i think you'll agree it's a great shot... .. taken from freakin' space!! i think you'll agree that i've gone to a lot of effort to get this spectacular placement of my rock as well as highlighting it with a special light show and i clearly deserve to win |

if anyone feels my rock might be a little bending of the rules, i'd ask that it be taken into account that it was pitch black outside when it was time to find a rock and also my rock is the only one that can be seen... from freaking space!! |

Rarity posted:Are these tasks being scored separately or together? The Rock tasks are all one! I judge both the rock, it's decoration and painting as well as the position you found for it, all in one score but separately for me so I have various ways to judge them. If your rock is super fancy and amazing looking but the rock home is rather simple, you might get good points for the decoration but maybe not as much for the position, leading to final score based on all of these criteria Either way, make sure you and your rock friend have fun!

OFFICIAL SUBMISSION I put the rock outside in a snug corner of the garden next to a big pile of leaves. I'm pretty sure we've got a hedgehog hibernating in it, so the rock is in good company! Tiny Myers posted:Dumb Sex-Parrot I love your submission by the way it's so pretty. Wow thanks

OFFICIAL SUBMISSION I humbly submit my rock task parts 1 and 2. Here is what happened: I could not find my favourite smooth stone I keep in my backpack, it would have been perfect for this. Instead I had to panic and think about where there were rocks? My walkway! Hmm, it seems to have snowed. I think my boot can solve this problem! drat right. Okay I've got the rock now. Now I have to paint it. Wait a second, I don't have paint. Why would I have paint? Okay well what do I have? Store brand ketchup and a weed brush. Yeah I was in the scouts, its all about improvising. Now lets get to the art! There, my name with a happy yellow sun I drew with mustard and some of the ketchup to represent the fiery power of our solar friend. Now it lives on the plastic table where I sit and smoke. It will live there until I no longer live here. Have a good day orbs.

OFFICIAL SUBMISSION as much as i'd like to print the rock out and put him in the lawn, our printer isn't working right now. i brought him to wrestlemania instead. i hope all the fans enjoy seeing him |

Absolutely stunning and amazing submissions!! You got another hour left to find a cozy and nice home for your personal rock friend or adjust and perfect your submission! I'm so excited to judge these beautiful rockstars!!

on the one hand, it may seem a little sad to bring my rock and fuzz out to the garbage. but you must think of the purpose of these items: the fuzz was created by a cat at play, and brought joy to the cat. it is now too small for the cat to notice and enjoy it the design of the litter is to be removed from the box when it is no longer fresh, so that the cat will not be saddened by a stinky box both fuzz and litter rock have fulfilled their purpose: improving the life of a cat. both are going peacefully to their final destination, content and satisfied. additionally, they have been given one last hurrah, presented to all of you, at the absolute peak of accomplishment do not be saddened by throwing away of the litter and fuzz, but join with them in celebration of a life well lived

Finger Prince posted:OFFICIAL SUBMISSION Finger Prince posted:OFFICIAL SUBMISSION Now, our first powerful entry, Rocky the Rockstar. Truly a magnificent being, his home in the car makes sure he is a mobile, always ready to go superstar, heading whereever he may be needed. I am sure he will be! This is a nice, beautiful, nay, powerful entry. It is simple yet strong and literally a rockstar for sure. I will gladly award FourPoints for this powerful entry! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quadramind posted:Official Submission Quadramind posted:Official bonus submission! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stoner Sloth posted:OFFICIAL SUBMISSION Stoner Sloth posted:OFFICIAL SUBMISSION At first I was rather skeptical. A holy rock from downunder that is more a place than just a rock, how will he place that in a good home? He already has a perfect, sacred home! However, you washed my skepticism away with the powerful move of moving him into space. It may not be your rock and you could have worked on its decoration, but I think that's more a spiritual decoration than a color-based one, which I will accept! This tricky entry will award three points! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- biosterous posted:

wow so uh tens of thousands of years of Australia history is worth two points less than gluing some googly eyes onto a rock and sticking it in front of a castle (which there's like what, 1 castle per 100 square cubits in the UK?) but since we've been robbed here, let me just share with you one more thing about Uluru: it's long been associated with a curse with those who feel they've stolen from the sacred rock suffering misfortunes ranging from kangaroos repeatedly throwing themselves in front of the person's landrover to unspecified disasters of all kinds. so much so that about 365 packages of stolen rocks from around Uluru are returned at great expense every year by people trying to rid themselves of 'The Curse of the Rock' - one person even going to the trouble of having a 35 kilogram slab of rock put back at vast expense to try and rid themselves of the bad luck they'd incurred by disrespecting Uluru. just saying... it's not too late to hand out some bonus points and make amends |

i didn't make this up for the competition by the way, a quick google will reveal many results but i'm sure we're not the superstitious types here and our noble Taskmaster(s) will make the right decision... if it were me i'd prudently not want to take the risk of such a curse but I'm sure they're made of stronger stuff. what's that? no no, i'm find standing over here - less risk of highly improbably lightning strikes.. |

While I am respectful of other cultures and your threats of curses, I think this time your submission just wasn't zesty enough to impress our artbitrary judge(s). Maybe next time you could destroy part of your walkway like I did? No wait that's like exactly the opposite of the lesson of the Uluru you're trying to get across, shoot.

No wait that's like exactly the opposite of the lesson of the Uluru you're trying to get across, shoot. far be it from me to threaten anyone, i am sure our Taskmasters are above such things, but i'm not even arguing the point about the fact I got NASA to take a photo (from freakin' space no less) which also shows an aurora. and let me tell you buddy, they were not easy to convince! i had to tell them it was for the sake of BYOB i'm just saying that people have driven literally thousands of kilometers to try and rid themselves of The Curse... what people choose to do with that information is up to them |
