"For every dollar you have spent completing SF0 tasks"
I think retroactive dollars can be included here, at player's discretion.
The only way this works is if you've kept track of all the time that you spend on your computer since you bought it. Then divide the amount spent by the time used. Then you can subtract the time you actually spend using your laptop for sf0. Otherwise I'm gonna have to start subtracting the money I spend on clothes that I am wearing while I do a task, the food I eat for energy to do a task, the cost of the paint I have sitting around my house that I then used on a task, and so on. Unless you are one of the creators and you bought the computer to run sf0 and it is solely used for that, this is just silly.
Retroactive dollars are no better than retroactively claiming to have done tasks. And we still have no proof! How do we know you actually have a laptop or that it wasn't stolen?
Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence. And 1500 points in either direction is an extraordinary claim.
This is so awesome and funny all at the same time.
i sense an impending drive to Reverse the Game...
I think r0ck c4ndy's pricing breakdown is more sensible. I don't think a date and receipt is good enough, because this is an extraordinary completion and the proof really does need to be extraordinary. A receipt qua receipt (regardless of date) shows little causal relationship between "I want to play sf0" and "I've bought a computer."
Unless you can further show the computer was either bought Because you needed to get one for sf0 or if the computer is solely used for task completions, contact with sf0, reading sf0 webpages, writing new tasks for sf0, etc, I'd be disinclined to think the full money should be charged against you.
...but this is not doing good for the overall EquivalenZ score.
On a positive note, we're not in last! =]
Does this task completion really count against our score?
This was all based on someone's misguided idea that a negative number in Anti-Consumer would end up adding all those points (or something along those lines). Anyway, I thought it was funny enough to let it sit there at -1500, but I hadn't thought of the consequences for dear EQ. Mea Culpa
I'd accept this, if you purchased the laptop specifically for SF0. Let's see a photo of a receipt with a date.
