Disintermediate the Submit Proof Button by Ian Kizu-Blair, Sean Mahan, qwerty uiop, Cthulhu Kitty

INSTRUCTIONS: Complete a task as usual. Do not submit proof of your completion on the website. Instead, mail your proof to another player who you do not know.

Quite some time ago, I had this brilliant idea for Multi-tasking: Write up a Fan Letter, include Something Amazing, and ask the recipients to Disintermediate the Submit Proof Button. The first step was to decide who to choose for my vict, er, I mean lucky recipent. My first thought was Rubin, because of my Campaign platform and because I really do admire his plucky spitefulness. But, would he post the proof or just punt the package while shouting "Rubin Hates It!" at the top of his lungs? Deciding I could not risk the wrath of Rubin (say that three times fast) I chose the obvious fan focus of any SFzeroer - The SF Zero Team!

Although I have been acused of being a kiss ass for my gushy fan letter, I was most sincere in my writings. These guys have certainly faced their fair share of criticism, but have not always received the praise they deserve. It was a pleasure writing a fan letter to them.

Of course, after I got the package set and the letter written and everything sent away, I realized that A) Multi-tasking was retired, and B) the task description for Mail something amazing caused for the package to contain something that amused me to no end. Sean, Ian, and Sam felt the package was amazing, but amusing?...well, maybe if you consider that it was an American Flag flown from atop Sadaam's palace...that's kinda amusing... hmmm I guess I'll just have to try again with more amusing package contents...

But at least I picked the right guys to disintermediate the submit proof button - It was awesome - I logged in yesterday and suddenly I had extra points and a new completed task! It was like magic!

The way I do the math:
Flag + Saddam's Palace + Sean, Ian & Sam = totally amusing.

I'm just saying...

...I was amused.

NOTHING ABOUT THAT IS FUNNY
