Replace the second paragraph onward of “Photos” with:-
A Photo included in a blog post is Confirmed if it contains an authentic handwritten appearance (taken as part of the photograph) of the Merriam Webster Word of the Day for the day on which that post was made, or for the preceding day (per http://www.merriam-webster.com/word-of-the-day), and if it is not copied or visually derived from an earlier Confirmed Photo of the same Target.
For a Photo to be “of” a Target, it must be an original photo of the physical object described by the Target, taken by a person present at the location of that object.
If any Hunters have claimed points for photos of Targets which would not be considered to be “of” those Targets under this amended rule, deduct those points.
Replacing the watermark with “can’t copy an earlier photo” - I like the idea of players chalking single, cryptic words in the world.
Also, “photo of a Target” arguably includes “photo of a photo of a Target” if you have a postcard or a Google Image search to hand, so let’s (at least attempt to) rule that out now.
Brendan: he/him
Note: but I was planning on cheating outrageously with that loophole.
