Misdirection by Dr. Subtle

January 11th, 2008 8:05 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Distribute incorrect directions to various significant landmarks/areas. You may do this when asked for directions, or, for extra points, unsolicited.

Super Extra Points for distributing faulty maps of San Francisco to travelers and natives. These may be maps of San Francisco with slight, barely noticeable errors, or maps of Entirely Different Cities with labels/street names/etc. that correspond to actual San Francisco geography.

"I AM REDACTED. SO SORRY."

I decided to complete this task in a manner surreal and Soviet, and as part of my ongoing metaproject (Split Text and Impress Me! are both pieces of it).

I gathered one of each of every kind of bus schedule, and via sharpie, pen, scissors, and paper redacted and revised all of them. I marked the top-left corner of each one with a black dot, then I put them back.

"All Times Subject To Change"
BU sounds like you have a candidate that's ripe for joining the Chrononautist.

It's strange, but I think my favorite Group has actually been Interregnum's total lack of groups.

I think my personal Trajectory is somewhere at the intersection of EquivalenZ, BPA, and the UoA, and so its been nice to take on tasks these dozen days pretty much pell-mell.

The Chrononautists are a great writeup, though. I think where the game gets strange is that all the Trajectories of each group are actually inside all other groups. There are many BPA tasks that could be Chrononautist, just as there are many tasks in the UoA that smack of Humanitarian Crisis.

I feel, actually, that the game should have a much, much larger pool of non-group and inter-group tasks, that intergroup tasks should actually be divided into those tasks that are open to multiple groups vs. those that REQUIRE players from multiple groups working together, and that group-specific tasks should actually be a very short, very specialized list, where maybe level advancement might be tied to the completion of at least one of your own group's tasks per level.

That might be too restrictive, though. I'm not sure.

I love Interregnum, though. This era ROCKS!
