These rock. So awesome. Some of them are a little, uh...broken (for example 'Flag' would be far and away the strongest card printed in years and years) but that's a totally minor nitpick. Awesome!

Maybe I'm biased (okay, I am biased) but it seems to me like the solution to helping new players get an idea of how to task better isn't compiling a massive history of the glory days of sf0, but simply having a guide on the front page that tells new players about how to task better. I'm not saying discount the wiki entirely, but I do agree with Lincoln--it's never going to be a resource for the newest players. If we want a way to help the newest players, why don't we just make *that*?

Alternately, just stand facing backwards on an elevator.

hooray for sociology breaching experiments!

relet: it seems not evil enough because you haven't solved it properly. that's all I can say without spoiling anything.

teucer: That was a brilliant one. The answer was, I think, BOBDOLEELECTED or CLINTONELECTED and all the clues worked both ways (e.g. "Black halloween animal" for BAT/CAT). What's brilliant is that this allowed the crossword puzzle to be incredibly topical even though the lead time for puzzles is usually like 6 months. Awesomeness.

Fair enough. A few minutes after submitting this I had an "Oh crap, that was 125 points?" moments. But I stand by it.

Were all the linesbreaks in her emails like that originally? Cause it all strikes me as very poetic, like if you took some teenager's angsty love poem and then translated it to Chinese and back a couple times. Good stuff.

Votes for the headcrab, even if you never played Half-Life (which should be well within most computer's specs by now, and is easy to find for cheaps.)

Flithworth!! Someone mentioned origami roses and linked to you and The Revolutionary and Terpischore the other day, and I was just thinking "Gee, I wish Flitworth would task again." And just like that- bam!

This is slightly terrifying stuff; I think I'd heard mentions of this event in the past but never seen video in all its war-zone shaky-cam intensiosity.

Good reference.

I like this a lot, as others have said, a bit of formatting (putting the emails from top to bottom in chronological order, using bold and linebreaks so we can see where one email ends and another starts) would make it a bit easier to read though.

Nice work. Keep it up.
