Ransom by Jason

July 17th, 2006 9:23 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Once in awhile a friend leaves something behind in a public place. Go ahead and pick it up for them but hold it for ransom. Take picture of it with a ransom note, complete with demands. Email or mail the note to them. Bonus points if they pay up.

During our Urban Exploration task Cameron had me hold on to his spelunking light for him as there was more than enough light in the building we chose to explore. Not being an opportunist, I reminded him at least twice throughout the day to get it from me before he left - but still he forgot.

I resisted for another 24 hours, thinking that he may call me and ask for it back. This did not happen.

So, now, me being the opportunist I am, I've decided that HE MUST PAY!


THE FIRST RANSOM DEMAND

I sent the first ransom note in the early morning of July 17th, 2006.

He has met this demand, changing his player profile picture to what you see below.

But what's that you say? He's finished? Oh, no. The task description states clearly "demands", not "demand".

THE SECOND RANSOM DEMAND

The second ransom note was sent in the late afternoon of July 18th, 2006.

The secret of a good ransom letter is to present a reason for false hope.

Yes, I'm a bad poet. I freely admit that.


FINALLY! CAMERON COMPLIED WITH MY DEMAND!

Only after multiple e-mails, and this, rather catty, last minute threat.

By the following morning he had complied. You can view Camerons Performance of the Star Spangled Banner in Spanish -- HERE!

THE LAST RANSOM DEMAND

On August 3rd, 2006, I wrote the following e-mail to Cameron.

And an additional demand.

I chose a discreet location to meet him for the final exchange. In front of the Kentucky Fried Chicken on the Corner of 22nd Avenue and Irving Street. They have fiery boneless bufallo wings: 6 for $2.99.

And that's the end of the story. For more information on Ransom, Blackmail, Bribery, Shakedowns, or any of the other topics covered in this task consult your local library.

thanks for the high praise, skullshines.

it actually is my stated goal to make everyone shit themselves. once this task is accomplished perhaps some will.

Alright...

I made your goddamn recording, the least you could do is make it more prominent or hotlink for the nice people.

You didn't show the back of my shirt, which said: "Actually, he's a total f*cking douche."

i don't know why cam would want to call himself a douche, so i held that picture back to protect what is left of his fragile ego.
