Status Update

Ermete M.I.A WITH BASIX!!!! It looks as if Basix has gone missing with the bear. This is a BIG SHAME! Need to find out whats going on!!

https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/744484-bear-travels/page__st__375

The Bear is "CE" marked and conforms to British Standards BS5665 and European Community EN71. His eyes are of the safety lock-in type. Due to natural pile loss, they are not recommended for children under 18 months.

I have decided to something fun and interesting for this site. Its called Bear Travels.

Basically I have got a Bear printed with the following on its shirt

Neowin.net

The idea behind this is to have the Bear photographed in different areas around the world. So basically someone who wants the bear requests it and that member posts it to them, and they then take photos off it at some famous locations around the world.

I have kept the size of the Bear down to around 15cm so it should be easy and cheap to post etc.

Now you can be in the photo or just the bear but as long as there?s something in the photo that shows what country it has visited, famous landmark maybe or something unique.

The idea behind this is to have some fun, promote neowin.net and get a Bear to travel the world, under neowins name. Open to anyone who has a camera etc.

However:

This relies on a lot of trust, as in im trusting you to take care of the Bear, not steal it etc, im also trusting you to pass it onto others in the world.

As ideally I would want the bear back at some point.

If you want to be in on this fun adventure please PM m:):) Dont feel left out if someone has taken a place you want to do, just sign up anyway, the more pics the bette:):)

Bears Name Ermete

Heres a quick image of the bea:):) It's a very quick one etc, just to give you an idea of what we have and such. 15-18cm high

[sundayx Veteran]

Sounds fun, lucky bear!

[JMann Veteran]

Great idea! (Y) Looking forward to the first few pictures.

[crazzy88ss]

There should be a rule, like it can't be sent to anybody with less than 500 posts or something. This may help prevent theft.

But it sounds like a sweet idea!

Kinda like "Shoot Chase Jarvis's Shoes!"

[Marshalus Veteran]

Sounds fun.

[peterish]

I'm down.

[_neutrino Veteran]

sounds rather cool.

[Prince Charming]

Sounds like a great idea, I'm up for it. Crazy has a point - probably want some criteria for selection, like regular DCL posters or something. Similar to something I'd been doing initially as a joke, and then because I could - http://pandasaur.co.uk/gallery/v/Series/Panda/, and I have to say, it's fun. Really fun :). Going to be taking the panda to Bermuda at the end of March :)

[Saladas]

I can give the bear a tour around mexico!

[david]

Count me in!

[Al-Mann]

I'd take him to the Alamo... :D

[tunafish]

Well so far intrest is looking good! I will hopefully be starting this ASAP, it could be as soon as this weekend if the Bear arrives to me by this week so i can take it up London on the 14th, else Next weekend (21st)

However im going to need to create a list of people intrested so let me know by PM if your still intrested ETC

[Marshalus Veteran]

Probably need to send it around Europe first, then across the sea to the states.

[t_r_nelson]

I'm sure our neighbors to the North would love a crack at it.

Any Canadian's want it, eh?

[crazzy88ss]

Probably need to send it around Europe first, then across the sea to the states.

Marshalus and I live close to each other. He can have it first then he can send it to me!!

When it's down this end of the world. I'd glady show it around Perth, aint that much here though as landmarks or anything

[peterish]

Not to sound pessimistic or anything, but I really hope this becomes more successful than the Monthly competitions we had

let's make this great guys.

[Konstanov]

Would the bear make a good addition to the Grassy Knoll is that too violent?

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Sounds like a great idea. I'm down, but I'm going to need a camera. I'll let you know when that changes. :p

[XerXis]

count me in for belgium ;)

[tunafish]

I dont mind where the bear goes etc. Just as long as we have some photos and everyone has fun etc.
