Hey, Watchers,

The Mystery Photo puzzle needs people to collect pictures from each week's D&D "Our Towns" for 4 weeks. There will be a different picture for each of the 4 zones, for 4 weeks - 16 pictures in all. We need to clip and collect all 16 pics and send them in (no photocopies)

Sounds like collaboration is needed. Anyone want to play with me? I'm in the green area: see http://picturetheimpossible.com/wednesday-sept-16

Where is this "Our Towns" section? Inside the D&C newspaper?

I'm in the blue region. I noticed someone is already representing blue, anyone else want to start a group?

If we can't find a red collaborator by Wednesday, we could always take turns making a trip out their to pick up a paper.

I'd guess that on Wednesday when you get the paper, it should tell you the region you're in.

Go to

to see what zone you're in.

We need someone in the orange area, which is the northwest part of the Rochester region.

Hello Watchers:

My friend and I are looking to form a Mystery Photo collaboration team.

We have Yellow and Green covered. So we need someone from Blue and someone from Orange. http://picturetheimpossible.com/wednesday-sept-16

Let's call this team "WATCH_1"

Please reference that team name if you want to join us and we'll take the first person who responds from Blue and Orange respectively. We are competitive. We have received every possible point so far and would appreciate similarly dedicated people with which to collaborate.

So pipe in and call dibs for "WATCH_1"

If your color is already spoken for, perhaps you can make a shout out for WATCH_2, etc...

@JJJ

My boyfriend and I (also in Watch) would be more then willing to cover blue and orange each week.

We also have all the achievements thus far and hope to continue the trend. It is also good to know we have competitive, dependable, like-minded people to collaborate with.

We would be more then willing to join "WATCH_1".

- thena444 and derubel

WATCH_2 Yellow image 1 has been obtained. It does look very camera-like.

Jaredlyon would like to join us as the orange collaborator.

I'm in the blue section, though I unfortunately missed this Wednesday's newspaper; any chance I can find it elsewhere?

Also, if need be I can pick up a paper from some of the other sections (preferably green as I'm at RIT). It'd require a small drive, but I'd love to help in any way I can :)

Any other groups still open for a blue? :)

curlgirl and agelaius,

If you don't join anyone else by Monday night, lets group up with afitzy. I figured some people may miss the first week. So I got the images from 3 sections and afitzy got the other one.

I don't mind driving for the NE and NW. I live at the center of all four anyways. That way we secure 4x1000 points for The Watch.

Thanks kensmithjr. I've asked my coworkers to save their papers for me, so I'll let you both know what other sections I can gather. Hopefully we won't need to buy too many extra papers!

Watch_3,

I have a reliable source for the orange section, and I received the paper at home today, so here's what I have so far:
Week 1- orange, green
Week 2: orange, green, blue.

Has a yellow Watch member joined our group?

I myself live in the Blue section and have that for week 2 (and will for weeks 3 and 4). However, I don't believe we currently have anyone covering yellow (aside from kensmithjr or afitzy driving a bit to get those papers).

If need be I can go nab those. It'd be a bit tight with my filled schedule, but I could probably make the drive. Ken and Afitz, are you guys nabbing yellow at all?

Because I live IN the city I can literally travel less than a mile in different directions and get all 4 our towns :)
I now have 2 copies of each of the 4 papers from both weeks...

Anyone from The Watch who wants to collaborate on the Mystery Photo can send me a message. We have around six people and collectively have three sets of papers from the first two weeks.

Therefore, we have room for up to six more people who can claim points for The Watch. If you have your own pieces, that's great too.

We have a Google Docs Spreadsheet with who has what pieces.

I can send you the link if you want to join us.

Thanks!

Okay, I'd like to get in on this collaboration effort, the problem is that I don't know exactly which puzzle pieces I have. I have two from the first week and two from the second week, but they were ripped out of the paper and now I don't know exactly where they came from.

Here's my inventory:
Week 1: Blurry image of round silver bump; has "Sell it?" on the back. Quadrant: "From Wegmans in Greece" (NW?, Orange?)
Week 1: Mostly grey with T-shaped winding knob; has "At" on the back. Quadrant: "Highland Hospital" (SE? Green?)
Week 2: Solid with small rectangle near upper right; has "Savings" and "Minimum Balance" on the back. Quadrant: " Hennrietta" (SW? Blue?)
Week 2: Blurry with white vertical bar at bottom; has "Call Mon-Sat 7 a.m..." on back. Quadrant: "?" No idea.

So, what do I have and who wants to work with me? :-)

I too have a bunch of extra pieces for any watch member who wants them. This may be our chance to actually score bunch of points!

I have one extra each of the following sections:

Week 1: NW, NE, SW, SE
Week 2: NE, SW, SE
Week 3: SE

I will probably give all my extras to ebecca or puddleofsick, as I will be out of town until next Wednesday night.

I'm sure whichever one of them that I give my extras to will post here when they get them.

You are very, very wise to collaborate on this challenge. Every team of four that your faction can put together will add 4,000 points to your faction score (1,000 points for each of the four players). If your team does a much better job of collaborating than the others, this challenge could put you on top. The game was designed to encourage and reward collaboration ... because working together would solve a lot of our community's challenges inside and outside of this game.

Does anyone have an extra piece from today in the Northwest? My team has all but that one (the place we usually get the northwest piece from had the wrong one), we can meet up at Jay's today we just didn't have time to drive around looking for a new place to get the piece. If we can get that piece we will have a complete set and still 2 more open slots in the group (that means 2000 free points up for grabs for two lucky watchers!)
