TeenTypist |
I'm strange mixture of stability and insanity. I was something of a recluse, but I've grown into desiring community.

I've been TeenTypist for at least 5 years now, though sadly I have less than a year remaining of the "teen" part. It's my alias on DeviantArt, FanFiction.net, FictionPress.org, as well as several other sites. Google "TeenTypist" and most (not all!) of the results point to me.
I discovered SF0 through Ziggy C.'s Take Something Leave Something box.

Guys, isn't the point of this to have fun? Everybody is sitting at their computers arguing over this one series of tasks, rather than going out an completing more tasks. Are you having fun arguing with one another?
I believe Bubblesort's idea was original and creative. I believe it was a lot of work and an example of good group work between people from 3 different groups. Everyone involved in completing this task enjoyed it.
When you give task instructions such as "Confuse a mineral." I think you really are leaving a lot to interpretation, which is half the fun. Another task said "Go to the airport and standby for love." Not specific, but you could get some creative results. The "Suicide!!!" task is another good example. Directions weren't specific and I came up with the best interpretation of the task I could and went for it. Personally, I liked my results. I don't think you can really argue intention after the fact, or maybe at all in this case.
As far as points are concerned, it's a game and we aren't competing with one another, so points don't really matter except either as self-validation or in order to gain access to higher levels in order to do more interesting and complex tasks; some of the lower level tasks aren't interesting and it's hard to develop points and get to the levels with tasks that are of interest.
Maybe it might have been more creative to do three different interpretations of the tasks, but there was nothing in the rules that said theyhad to and the truth is, the three of them collaborated on these tasks, came up with a creative solution, and did the work of three separate tasks regardless of whether or not they used the same method. It was the same collaborators so I see nothing wrong with using the same method.
At this point, the whole argument is seeming really petty when this site is about having fun.
The title is self explanatory. :-)
I'm not totally sure about new characters. Like T-shirt, is an ordinary looking western "T" and then the two characters that make up the word "shirt." Our teacher gave us the translations of our college name and it sounds something like Bin zhou (Pennsylvania) In-di-an-na (Indiana) Da Xue (College). I'm not sure how Bin zhou (which I very well maly be spelling wrong, I haven't seen the pinyin) comes to mean Pennsylvania, but the characters for Indiana are various characters strung together that sound like the original word. I'm not sure if SF0 would have some phonetic equivilant or a translation of the individual words into characters with similar meanings.
Thanks for appreciating the irony.
Funny thing, Ziggy, we ALMOST made Zig a wanna be rockstar. Secret ambition to join a band, and a love for air guitar. Decided against though. Didn't want to make life too complicated.
