Tasks / Add A Useless Rope
I seldom find in my adventures that a rope has been positioned in a way which fascinates me without being helpful, such as perhaps turning a piece of public art and a tree into the supports for a giant spiderweb.

You know, I wrote this task as a joke.
But I still like it, and its appearance as a real task is awesome.
What does it say about the Doktor, about us as a community, about this game, about our society, that adding useless rope is more points than adding useful rope?
This is not a criticism. This is a question.
Have you considered how difficult it will be to install a rope so useless as to avoid the inevitable "well, I think such a rope actually would be useful to [insert use here, perhaps with Lovecraft reference]"?

non-player: Nice rope and bucket! help im a bear: Do you want it? non-player: Not really. teucer: You don't need it installed anywhere? non-player: No, sorry. So went most of our night in Chapel Hill, looking for a place to install this rope where i...
After the Goblin Market on Union Square Anna, Anthony, Hayley, Bryce, and I explored two floors of the St. Francis Hotel: the first and the thirty first. The elevator rises fairly high to give the people inside a pretty panoramic view of the city. Wh...
"A useless rope..." "To the Club House!" *Batman melody* Well, we soon discovered that we didn't have any "rope", but we had a spool of twine. We walked over to the parking garage and wondered how we could make this rope useless, but still cool. W...
