The travel from the park to the tar pits was a long and lonely trip. I encountered no Runners, no Chasers, and hardly any civilians. But I pressed on.
During both of the JTEON's I've taken part in I've had a similar experience; hundreds of people that had to be somewhere nearby, yet the city itself seemed deserted. Knowing that around the next corner, or behind the next building, I would return to.. well, everything. Not just the game, but the city, or in broader terms my identity in general as defined by my interaction with all it represents.
For a few minutes I'm alone, anonymous, and beholden to nothing but my own whims. Even the game becomes secondary. I have a map. I am here; I am going there. The reason isn't important. It's a rare simplicity of purpose that totally clears my mind & gives me a profound sense of place even though if I were to try and describe it later, there was nothing particularly remarkable about it. It could be any street, in any city, anywhere. Nowhere. Everywhere.
Both times I've spent the rest of the weekend exploring the city, by myself and with friends, in all kinds of different neighborhoods. A visitor still, but that awkward feeling of "fighting the current" that can come with it is gone. I suppose for a resident of the city JTEON is a lot different experience but I can't think of a better introduction to a new place.
Yeh I'd like to & I've had a few ideas but I'm not sure how well I could organize it from out of town. I mean.. Where would I even rent the crocodiles?
Not only do I have points to spare, as to by my best recollection this Era is winding to a close.. Regardless, this is GREAT and I'm glad it popped back up on the front page as I'd forgotten about reading it before I'd gotten into the swing of things around here.
I'm not generally a stickler for regulations, but would recommend following at least the spirit if not the letter of the rules when submitting tasks.
I don't get it
Quite an interesting tale & a fine description of being "caught in a mosh"
thanks, good to be back
good idea, marking the ribbons, wish i'd thought to do that chasing last year
that was an entertaining read
A splendid diversion! Might you also nominate this nautical exercise as a task? Where might we find the rules of engagement & safety regulations?
