 		[ARGISH] Young Inventors Competition
I only got interested in ARG's last month. It's become like a hobby. Anyway my other hobby is inventing stuff. Little mechanical devices with lego and wires and stuff. Very fun. Anyway I always look on the web for inventing competitions.

Today one of my friends (who knows nothing of ARG's) emailed me a link he found.

www.younginventors.piczo.com

Anyway I found the site quite interesting and decided to enter the competition. Then I noticed that if you click on the young inventors logo it brings you to:

www.bio.com


which seems to be an authentic site.

If you click on the logo on the terms and conditions page it brings you to

Hmmm, kinda looks like an arg. Well it does to me.

 		Email davetolomySPLATelitemail.org with ideas for inventions and see what you get back


OR email davetolomy2000SPLATyahoo.com if you want to help out, and be a judge.

Check this out. Cool idea huh Wink

EDIT: This is in the early stages apparently, so you'll have to keep checking back. Also check dave's photobucket as more inventions come in.

 		Emailed re: judging. Also asked about the 'unsafe' invention, as it may help me if I know what sort of inventions he's receiving.

*First Name:

Mobile Number:
Why I want to help with the competition:
Any additional info:

Thankyou in advance Lewis.

Dave


Have supplied him with the info.

 		Score.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Thankyou for answering these questions.

The username to the elitemail account is davetolomy
the password is thomas.

If anyone emails the account with an invention submission check it meets the terms and conditions on my website. If it does then send a message back telling them their invention has been accepted. You will have special jobs to carry out later.

Thanks for the help.

 		Ricky Little
There was an e-mail to dave from Ricky Little on Sunday in Davetolomy's mailbox for the contest. There is also an e-mail in the "sent" section from Dave regarding Ricky Littles "dangerous" invention and whether it should be destroyed.

 		Stolen!
Now the invention(weapon?) has been stolen according to some e-mails that Dave Tolomy sent yesterday from his account. There is also an update on the young inventors website about the theft and some more photos in Dave's photobucket album, although I'm not sure if all of them are part of the arg.
