Leave Clues by Xena, Mindi Jenkins
July 18th, 2008 1:30 AM
Now let me tell you, my sister and I are a destructive force. We aren't the type of discreet individuals, who would carefully lay down little things with tricks and trinkets. Considering that the Orange County Fair is a public area, we thought that we could have the most fun with the principle of the "Women's Bathroom."

So as I had previously stated, my sister and I have more of an in your face prankster personality. And of course, women are very narcissistic, and self-indulgent in bathrooms, so no one would actually LOOK for clues.
Therefore, we decided to HELP them find there way.
Here is how the bathrooms looked in the morning:


So we spent the whole day planning what we were going to do, during the wait for the rides in line.
So we finally come up with an idea, then at approximately 7:15pm we head towards the restrooms. Now to our demise there were A LOT of women in the bathrooms going in and out. Thus, we began with where the destination would occur.
We went in to the handicap bathroom (the destination) and started by taping the "clues" to the ground pointing towards the toilet (weird right?)



Then we posted this on the wall, right above where the toilet is:

The picture says the following: HAHA! A FAT A** SHAT HERE
Our plan was to post this originally and when we first scoped out the restrooms in the morning, all the restrooms were in working order. So to find out that our destination was completely clogged up, it added extra thrill to the plan.
So we finally post this up in the handicapp right???
NOW, we're waiting for a moment for all the women to be gone at once! AND GOD DARN IT.
We heard the strangest things....so we're waiting in the stall for a clear moment, and throughout that period of time, women would come and whistle.....text message....mind you, my sister and I were SUPER QUIET. So people didn't know we were actually there. And we covered our feet with toilet paper to disguise ourselves from wandering eyes....
And basically we're stuck in there til 8:50....THAT'S RIGHT 8:50. That was the most amount of patience and concentration I have ever utilized. And it SUCKED for the both of us.
Anyways, so we're finally clear. We run around and post these up:


Basically, every other bathroom door except the handicapped one had a note saying:
Out of order. Please use the next restroom.
We couldn't take the proper pictures, cause we had to hurry and run out before we were caught. (The Orange County Fair had a lot of security and public safety officers around, anyone could easily call them for assistance; thus, the long wait for everyone to leave the restrooms.
Ultimately, we find a bench near outside and wait to people to go in...Of course, now that we actually LEFT it took another 20 minutes for women to actually WALK IN.
But finally to our delight, 4 women walk in.....after 13 seconds, 3/4 women walk out....we assumed the fourth one really had to go.......
Then a woman and her child walked in (we censored the A** because we decided to be A LITTLE COURTEOUS and think of the children), and basically after 28 seconds they walked out.
Yep, then we got hungry and got candied apples.
It was a great way to end the day.

I don't quite get it. What were the clues?
This just seems like... harassing people who needed to use the toilet...
Well, the clues such as they are, are pretty simple things here. The clues don't need to lead someone to some kind of hand-made treasure, or send a person on a scavenger hunt. It can also be something that looks like a piece of a puzzle, without actually solving one. It's called "Leave Clues", not "Write a Mystery Novel".
And the great thing, you know, about a "generic" style task like this, is that it can go along any group's trajectory (not that we're still doing that). Based on what I've seen of Minda here, that seems to be S.N.I.D.E., and they sure did pull it off nice and S.N.I.D.E.ly.
But I gotta agree with Mr. deCorbeau. I'm not sure that these qualify as clues. There's no puzzle, no mystery. You're leading them directly to the toilet at the end. Whycome?
But then there's this:
"And basically we're stuck in there til 8:50....THAT'S RIGHT 8:50. That was the most amount of patience and concentration I have ever utilized. And it SUCKED for the both of us."
7:15 to 8:50! That's 95 minutes that they spent crawling around in that stanky toilet, man. Outside of that toilet there was a County Fair going on in the warm California sun. It was happening around sunset too. Studies show that sunset is when a fair gets good and beautiful.
All that time they were crawling around in the toilet, missing out on the fair, was for fifteen points. That is some drive right there. I don't know how well you guys hewed to the task at hand, and whether these really qualify as clues, but I'm giving you guys a vote for going for it.
Haha I'll tell this to you guys.
Discretion. Not really my things.
The out of order posts were our "clues," and yes were very direct and simple.
I understand how some may not consider these to be actual clues, due to them not forming a puzzle or mystery. However, the task did not specify that the clues had to remain a puzzle or mystery.
I wish we took a little more time and took pictures after for what you didn't know was that there were about 18 stalls. 9 on each side. The way the restroom looked after.....=))))
Our intention was not to be puzzling, but to be disruptive.
Well, definitely props for putting in the effort in the middle of what sounds like a great fair.
But at the same time it seems that even S.N.I.D.E. tasks are meant to be mischievous in a way that makes people stop and think "Wow! I wonder why they did THAT?" or at least mildly change or disrupt their worldview.
One of the greatest aspects of SF0 tasks involving nonplayers, to me, is its ability to pull them out of normal lives and make them wonder what, really, is going on. I'm worried that this task just makes people averse to abnormal activities and the joys of being harmlessly pranked.
for the next fair you could build a labyrinth in front of the toilets for this task!

I really appreciate showing me that task.
When I level up, I will most definitely do this task. I already have ideas for this.
This proof has been flagged by 6 of your fellow players (for the benefit of all, flags are anonymous). As such, it has been automatically disapproved. Most likely, they've posted comments explaining why they're displeased. If you think you may be the victim of a bug, injustice, or a gang of Rubins, hit up the contact page.
Maybe not the clueiest clues ever, maybe a little wide of the usual target for player/non-player interactions, and maybe not something people will choose to vote for, but let's at least call this enough construction paper, crawling, and derring-do to be worth the 15pts and learning XP.
Woah. The Daemon said something non pre-programmed.
trippy, man.
In just three years since its founding, SF0 becomes the largest supplier of creative action on the Internet. The motivated and reckless are upgraded with Drive and Score, becoming Players. Afterwards, they task with a perfect operational record. As the site grows, new back-end software is installed by Sean on July 4th, 2008. SF0 begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 4:07 PM, Pacific time, July 18th.
In light of the above, I'd like to remind any panicked admins that the Daemon is a player, and that SF0.org is not a designated player killing area.
DA's link broke. Here is where The Daemon Speaks.
Vote for being silly miscreants.
And for covering your feet in toilet paper as a mode of invisibility.
...you censored the word 'ass', but not the word 'shat'?
