May not be novel but it made me laugh you have my vote
Well really you should vote for a good completion of the task. I could post a picture of a funny cat but it wouldnt complete a task.
IM sorry it took me a few days of reading around to see. That you shouldnt just vote for friends i am sorry and i will stop. I have also noticed many new players do this now that i know i can pass the word on.

I am still unable to see how this fails to meet the standards of completion. As a novel form of an introduction of myself, I have posted something that is novel in many ways, a work that has not yet been conceived (Hence the word, "NOVEL").
I am afraid that almost everyone here will need a clarification of the term "Novel". What characterizes something that is novel is it's originality. I am not here to question the intelligence of anyone, but this post shows the characteristics of being novel in many ways, which everyone here has failed to see so far.
I have brought about the completion of my task, not by bringing up major occurrences in my life, or by adding ego-building fluff; This task was completed by giving the reader an understanding of what I am like through humiliation, and comedy.
To compare this likeness of myself to a picture of a funny cat, or to question if it is truly novel is more then just brainless, it is in complete contradiction the the task.
I don't think its a matter of everyone here failing to recognize what is novel, but rather you may have missed the novelty that could be introduced by completing this task. It's original in the sense that it is a work that has not yet been conceived by anyone else, but not so in the respect this task has been completed the same way many a time.
The best way to complete any task is in a fashion no one else has done it in, think outside the box. Be novel.
Robert, you have posted: "I don't think its a matter of everyone here failing to recognize what is novel, but rather you may have missed the novelty that could be introduced by completing this task. It's original in the sense that it is a work that has not yet been conceived by anyone else, but not so in the respect this task has been completed the same way many a time.

One thing I truly despise is a person's contradiction of themselves. If a person believes that they truly have the intelligence to interpret, and deem what I have produced, then they should at least be able to see what fault I am speaking of. Just in case, I will assist the lesser-minded.
You have stated: "It's original in the sense that it is a work that has not yet been conceived by anyone else,..."
In the next half of the sentence you state: "but not so in the respect this task has been completed the same way many a time."
Your attempt of a pat-on-the-head comment has proven itself to be but another failure. I am beginning to think that this is just a simple ploy, a half-baked scheme to deny other players of points.
I am very sorry, I misinterpreted your post. The player following your comment made the same mistake, his post helped to influence my hostility towards you. Your comment is rather neutral in my opinion, rendering any interpretation of your post close to impossible. If you could please clarify your position on this issue, Your input is of value to me, but do not feel obliged to do so in any way.
I wouldn't question or doubt really what people here have to say. Just take advice. Be original, be novel. Don't succumb to what others have done, go beyond it.
I'm not in this to "deny other players of points," but if you don't make original completions, you're just denying yourself of points.
Stop with over analyzing and just take some criticism. If you don't want to think outside the box, then don't complain.
I mean no offence to you, I only want to point out where you can improve, and I hope you will.
chill and for everyone else out there...chilll...because we all have to learn about stuff. Let's not make it an uncomfortable experience. You know?
Yeah.
It ain't novel though is it?
Really?
Maybe if you squint.
But seriously if Id have thought this completion was completely rubbish Id have flagged it and a big red-x would appear. I simply said it wasn't vote worthy.
Well, actually Adam, you and a bunch of other folks would have to flag it before a big red x would appear (I think it is 5, now).
And I really think folks are a little harsh in their criticisms... it is more like they are saying "that's not worth while, so shut up until you have something better" as opposed to something more positive for the individual completion and the task and game as a whole.
If you want better completions then give good advice without putting the task down (and yes, asking "it isn't really novel, is it?" is putting the task down. At the end, what Robert says is a good start, but there was a lot of other "this is rubbish" sounding stuff ahead of it, and I think SF0 can do with a lot less of that.
...Novel.
