The Highest Place by cleaning duster

November 14th, 2008 2:22 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Go to the highest point of anything.

Not sure if stuff in the past counts, but a few years ago I was in an observation room within the Mori Tower in Roppongi, Japan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roppongi_Hills for more info. 54 stories, and these pictures are from the top.

It was a foggy day outside, and i've got pictures from a subsequent trip, but I can't seem to find those.

Needless to say, the view from the top, looking down at such a compressed and compact area of civilization, is incredible.

Most players here at sfØ frown upon posting past activity as praxis- and when you complete your first task for the game you will understand why. It makes you do more, go further, do it better, do it weirder, and never take no for an answer. It makes you realize plots, schemes, and creations that you may never have otherwise. When people play this game in the way that it's meant to be played, they use it as a tool to mold life into the playful/creative adventure it should be.

That said, most players here at sfØ smile upon new players- and for that i vote and hope to see you here again. Welcome to The Game.

Alright then +1

My mistake :( is there any way I could delete this submission or something so I don't get points in an unfair way?

you certainly don't have to. you didn't do anything "wrong." remember- the only rules are these:

It is strictly prohibited to:

1. Kill other players, except in designated player killing areas.
2. Steal valuable possessions from the corpses of already dead players.

And of course, when you submit a task, it is expected that it will be done according to its specifications (or at least have a very clever and worthwhile reason for diverting from those specifications that still somehow fits with the spirit of the task), or it will be flagged by other players.

So don't feel you have to unsubmit this, unless you want to complete it differently. If that is the case, you may go to "edit this completed task" and click "unsubmit." You may add/remove/edit/revise/smash pumpkins/play badminton/make animal noises and then later choose to resubmit for reconsideration by your peers. When you do that you lose all points that were awarded previously.

does that help? you may also consult Team Info for any other questions.

wow, this game sounds complicated all the sudden...

Thanks, I think i'll leave this one as is then and just follow the "unspoken rules" from now on then. :)

It's your first task, I'll cut you some slack. Just keep in mind that, in the future, you'll want to be a bit more creative.

Yes, definitely welcome! As someone who got cut some slack when I first started, I'm all for being gentle with newbies. And trust me, it doesn't take very long to get into the spirit of the game.
