Well after seeing these on a lot of other forums i think ocuk should have one.

Basically We arrange participants and we send a teddy or other item around the country and the receiver has to take a picture of thereself and the teddy and pass it on and maybe take a picture of the teddy at a famous landmark nearby etc.

I'm just putting this out as a idea also if people are worried about there address etc being available on the forum your address will not be given to anyone apart from the person who you expect to send you the teddy, you will give it them via email/trust.

tell me what you think :P

personally i think we will get some interesting results if were allowed to do this by the mods :P

If you would like to partake please say "i want the teddy" and leave a rough idea to where you live eg. i want the teddy near Mansfield.

also point scoring system ideas please :)

and teddy/item ideas :)


-------------------------------------------------------------


Current Point Scoring Methods

1. Teddy Successfully received and posted within time limit = 10 points
2. Picture of a supermarket checkout girl with teddy = 20 points. If the said supermarket is Asda +10 points.
3. Teddy in a warzone = 30 points
4. Teddy in Iran = 30 points
5. Teddy in North Korea = 40 points
6. Teddy in another country = 20 points
7. Teddy at a major landmark = 30 points
8. Teddy with gang bangers in America = 40 points
9. Teddy with any of Ron Jeremy's associated "friends" = 50 points. If also with Ron +20
10.Teddy with Russell Brand = 1 point
11. Teddy with a celeb = 30 points + 90 if A Lister
12. Teddy with a YouTube celeb (more than 200,000 subs) = 40 points.
13. Teddy at a local historic building/place/etc. = 20 points
14. Teddy on T.V. = 50 points
15. Teddy with just giving kid who rides le bike = 40 points
16... suggestions :P

also who ever wins I'm suggesting finally gets to keep the teddy if it ever rests :D

-------------------------------------------------------------

Current Points

?



Itinerary - Please post the dates you would like Teddy, please keep him for the shortest time you can afford :) Priority comes to those who are on holiday at the time.

Teddy is almost ready. Maybe it would be better for people to add when they want teddy to this spreadsheet?

Minimum time is 3 days to allow for postage.

This has potential. :p

Wouldn't it be easier to arrange one person sending it to the next volunteer, etc. rather than calling for a list of nominees now?

I don't like the points system either. It'd probably be more fun all around if the bear just happened to accompany members on their travels and we share the pics here. :)

points would only be for fun and extra lolage :P

and the list is just for a idea of whos willing to partake not by order or anything, allthough it would make sense to send it to the nearest person :)

also suggestion for 20 points. Get photo of teddy and a checkout girl in Asda must be Asda :P im shure we all know why :D

rules taken from another forum
1) When you receive the teddy, you have 2-3 days to keep hold of the Teddy and to take some landmark pictures as proof of Teddy's destination! You will need to post your pic's up in this post which will be maintained by me so everyone can keep an eye on the wonderful adventures of Teddy!

2) It is up to the person if they wish to add something to the box, nothing heavy, nothing illegal and nothing that could cause the teddy to be destroyed! This is a fun adventure which all the people who have put their names down will respect the other members wishes.

3) I will personally not retain any postal information of any member, and will advise the member who they need to contact to arrange a collection point or delivery address.

4) When it's your turn to send on the Teddy to the next person, you must send this by recorded delivery - this will help keep track of the teddy and we can hold whichever carrier responsible for the loss or damage of the teddy, and if needs be, we can always assemble a squad to recover the teddy! No one leaves another one of us behind!

5) This is for pure fun for those that participate and for the community to enjoy something that has been created by the community!

6) Once the Teddy has done the list of members - a suitable ending will be announced - whether space - a 3rd world country or even North Korea as a final resting place - never know - he might send it on a missle

7) If anyone would like to apply to join the list once this has started, you will need to contact myself to quickly add you to the list!

If people want to advertise the teddy for charity and get in the local papers - let us all know so we can check it out!

Except from that, I look forward to enjoying this adventure and if the Teddy makes a certain destination - several members could even meet up - as previously suggested - always a good day out!

It's going to take a bit more organisation first, but lets see what the OP has first :)

indeed just organising names as we speak, i need to buy a small ish teddy if im starting any suggestions ? also if someone else wanted to start just say ;)

also to people going on holiday can you list exact dates when you would need the teddy and when it would be returned and posted to the next person. also where you are currently would be a bonus as well :)

on a third note, more points suggestions :D

Yup go right ahead, I just need him from the 21st, so can you have 17th, 18th, and 19th and then send him to me on the 19th so I can have him ready for the footy on the 21st (which is a Sunday)

That ok?

id like him for the 16th still.

Googlemaps has already been suggested. Satnav might be a bit trickier, could set off alarms when going through airports and such...

indeed nothing electrical to be placed on or in the bear since we will have mi5 and the cia watching ocuk and possibly trolling us with there rickrolls

Took a few pictures today, I'll post them up when I get some time.

He's on his way to Bristol there, although I cannot guarantee he will be there tomorrow Russinating. I went for the £3.40 delivery like Burnsy did, so I'm not sure how quick that is meant to be.
