"Hurry," Fox urged, "we need to get out of here now! For God's sake hurry!"
"Uhhh," scattered mind grinned, "aaaaaactually I've got a holiday planned to ~~Barcelona!~~ See you all in 4 days!" scattered mind quickly ran out of the building, suitcase in hand, and jumped on a ferry. All the contestants then turned to look at Fox. He walked outside, speaking on his communication device to Falco. He then walked back in and addressed the contestants. "Hey," he cheered, "turns out this huge scary disaster isn't going to happen for exactly 4 more days!" Everyone in the room looked at each other and then back at Fox. "Fine," he sighed, "this was going to be a fun surprise, but there's no disaster after all."
"No, really?" Celever chastised sarcastically. Fox chose to ignore his tone.
"But there's a better surprise! Y'see, over on PNF-404--" Fox was interrupted.
"PNF-404?" A confused contestant asked.
"The Pikmin planet." Fox answered as the contestant nodded in recognition. "Anyway, on PNF-404 Olimar's waiting for you with another challenge! He was really pleased when he came up with this plan too, so could we all just fly up in the rockets anyway and act really surprised when he springs it on us? :D"
"Fine," Celever sighed, "but we have to wait for scattered mind to get back before we can leave anyway, since he was one of the winners of the challenge... Mind letting Olimar know on your space walkie talkie thing?" Fox then walked out the room talking on his weird mobile phone again. Celever then turned to address the crowd.
"So...," he began, "I guess let the 4-day voting commence? :D" After only a few hours it was pretty clear which way the vote was going though. The landslide increased after a ferry of friends of Mora's arrived and all placed their votes for steffenka too. Now this isn't to say that Phantom got no votes, just not enough.
PhantomHaze has been eliminated from the Challenge!

scattered mind wandered back in off the ferry. All the contestants were fuming, but soon the engines on their rockets were getting fired up instead, and off to PNF-404 the flew. However, as per tradition of all explorers heading to the planet, their rockets broke and they had to manoeuvre a crash landing. " Welcome to PNF-404!" Olimar cheered. "Don't worry about your space vessels, I've got a new one prepared to take all of your back since I figured that would happen." Olimar smiled once again, but the challengers all looked very angry. They'd just played a silly parody of Pit in order to build those spaceships -- now they're crashed over in the snow somewhere! Olimar failed to realise this, though, and went on his way merrily. "Follow me!" he laughed. Olimar led everyone to a large list the Pikmin had crafted in the snow over a large amount of time. "It's time to see who can collect the greatest items!" Olimar giggled once again. "Our Pikmin have chosen their faaaaaavourite objects in the whole wide world. Fox informed me that your names for them are different from our's though! Either way, everyone gather up the best items!!" Olimar danced around again and then entered the Hocotate ship.
The Challenge:
  • It’s your time to shine - discover the Pikmin extravaganza and claim your spoils on Planet PNF-404!
  • At the bottom of this post there is a list of objects that the Hocotatians and Koppaites have unofficially named. Your aim is to correctly guess each Earthian object and photograph them.
  • You must PM Celever and bbninjas to submit the unofficial name (i.e. Hocotatian name) of the object you have photographed and a link to the photograph. You are not required to submit all of your photographs at one time, however any submissions must be made in a single conversation and may not be updated once submitted.
  • Any photographs you submit must be of your own. If we can find the photograph you submit on the internet prior to your submission, or suspect the photograph is not completely your work, you will be penalised by 50% tax of the value of the object you are guessing.
  • You will likely come across objects you may not have access to, so you may have to be innovative.
  • Each object has poko value. On each submission, the player that submitted the object closest to the true object (which we have a sample of ourselves) will receive the Poko value of that amount.
  • If a player gathers all the right objects (i.e wins the Pokos) for a certain series, the Poko value of said objects will double!
  • The players with the least two total values of pokos will be eliminated.

Oh, just so you know, this is going to be the last traditional way to eliminate your fellow contestants, so you know...
 
Oh I forgot to set a deadline. Whoopsie :p

Deadline will be on September 9th at 11;59 BST. This is admittedly quite a long time, and usually when I give you lot a logical amount of time for the challenge you rush everything at the end. Please, PLEASE don't do this this time around, @Mora @scattered mind @steffenka @King Xerneas @Luispipe8, because to get maximum poko value this photos should be original. Spend some time figuring out the riddles (maybe look at pikipedia and some of the object names there, see if you notice any similarities) and then see if you can find any around the house. Some of them you're just going to have to be clever with though, since you almost certainly won't have them lying around.

There are also 54 items, so I've essentially given you 6 per day.
 
I just want to clarify something: Only one player gets to give each object to Olimar and the pikmin, as resources are scarce on Hocotate and there's only one copy of each item. As such, you can work together if you want, but assuming your object ideas are correct, only the first player to submit that object will get the poko value.
 
scattered mind said:
So basically.. no point for teamwork?
Click to expand...
There's not no points for teamwork, because of the series bonus. If you get all of the objects in one series the poko value of those objects doubles, so if you work with someone to give each other full series it could be great n_n.
