Nauman for the win!
also, nuuuuude
I do not mean such sentiment personally I just mean it in a general sense.
Repent ye inactives, the clarion is sounding "repent!"
I know you were concerned about duplication (i.e. "So I'll start off by saying sorry to Brian. I didn't know that he had done the undoing freezing water thing.") but I wouldn't worry about it. The effort to capture additional documentation and the extra activities do distinguish this proof.
Generally speaking, I want to know more. When the praxis is of a kind that doesn't produce an object/event/work, i.e. an objet d'art, or a public event, or involves others or is a really obvious intrusion into others' spaces. When it's an "I did such and such" task, then I think we want to know what the insights, contemporaneous thoughts, and motivations were for you. Or, even if they're unknown, to identify that, even if it means saying "I don't know what strange force compelled me that day..." by way of reflection. Part of what we're talking about is self-consciousness, right? (cf. small print at the top of the praxis page)
What goes into the doing of the task but also what goes into the why of the doing of the task and what's the outcome of the task for you? That sort of thing. And finally, how does this explore the flexibility of time, as the task describes? What other chrononautic impressions do you have that we need to know?
Don't get me wrong, I didn't vote out of some kind of sympathy: you did it, and you took pains to document. SO much of the early stages of playing this game depend on players getting used to the processes of documentation, of self consciousness. I want to see what more you can do.
Here's all my vote points right now. Maybe I can borrow more on credit? I wish.
After all, why shouldn't there be an economic wackiness in SF0 when everything outside is turning upside down?
Or, maybe I'll just work harder. Either way, this is awesome.
Okay, this is pretty good. Taking advantage of the opportunity to stay home, and taking some pains to document it. I suppose we could ding you for cleaning up trash (i.e. doing work) but it's fine. The pictures of the environment you went thru on your adventure are good! Habitual documentation: lean on it, keep doing it. Self-consciousness! Self-consciousness! Self-consciousness! (this catchphrase needs work, it lacks the ring of Glasnost Glasnost Glasnost!)
And be honest: there's functionally no difference between "bed head" and "normal head" for you, is there? :-p
I really wish I could have used you. It probably would have been hilarious. But it might not have been. I really didn't know what to expect or what I was going to do exactly.
You know how it goes, you get that "task tingle" or shortness of breath or whatever, knowing you've fully committed to the action (like once I'd set down about seven of those pots there was no going back). At that point you might be...you just don't feel tethered to a "plan" in any conventional sense. It's just the doing.
Why wasn't this called treecathalon?
Given the level at which you typically play the game, maybe it was a benefit to play for the sheer challenge of it, or the silliness you reference, rather than trying to get some moral fiber (to keep your ethical colon clean) out of the experience.
To make your agony of not learning a lesson from this task even worse, i offer a vote.
Points, bitches: sometimes they're reason enough.
