HOW TO PLAY
* Take a picture that contains a Nerd Merit Badge somewhere in it, and post it 
  online anywhere you like.
* Send an @reply to @nerdmeritbadges with the URL of the photo.
* Depending on what the photo contains, the photo will be assigned a point value.
* EACH PHOTO IS A SINGLE ENTRY.  You don't generate a cumulative score by posting 
  lots of photos (that would be too hard to score).  You get a high score by including 
  as many things as possible in a SINGLE picture, so drag them all together.
* No photoshopping, shooping, or pictures of pictures.  
  Randy and John will be the sole judges of whether something is shooped.  
  We are not experts, but we've seen many shoops in our time.
* In the event of a tie, Randy and John will select a picture based on what made 
  them laugh the most.

AN EXAMPLE
* JOEY DUDEFELLA posts a picture that contains (all these are imaginary point values):
-- A tape drive +10 points
-- A d10 +10 points
-- Joey Dudefella himself +10 points
  That picture is worth 30 points.  At the end of the contest, it beats any 
  photos with less than 30 points.  You should get the idea.

POINT VALUES:
This list will be added to up until the start of the contest.  
Hell, we'll probably add to it DURING the contest. Unfair? Sure!

** POINT TOTALS ARE CUMULATIVE **. In other words, if you have three types of
Nerd Merit Badges visible in the photo, you get 10 points for each type, plus
the 50-point "Three visible simultaneously" bonus.

10 POINTS:  For each type of Nerd Merit Badge visible in photo
10 POINTS:  Mac SE/30 visible in photo
10 POINTS:  Lego Mindstorms visible in photo
10 POINTS:  At least one d10, d20, or other gamer-type die visible in photo
10 POINTS:  DungeonMaster screen visible in photo
20 POINTS:  For each person visible in photo
20 POINTS:  Atari Lynx visible in photo
30 POINTS:  Keyboard-to-face action photo
            +10 POINT BONUS if the keyboard is a Model M
40 POINTS:  Newb visible in photo, pleading for help-desk support 
            (word "NEWB" must be visible on the newb)
50 POINTS:  Three types of Nerd Merit Badges visible in photo
150 POINTS: Four types of Nerd Merit Badges visible in photo
            (I'm pretty sure this is impossible, as nobody has both the NYT badge
            and the Gearxel)

GOOD LUCK! (you're going to need it)
