what about toilet breaks etc?

I'm pretty sure you can use the toilet while in physical contact with another person.

I'd worry more about the sleeping thing -- it'd be hard to avoid accidentally breaking contact. It might be easiest to just stay awake for the whole 24 hours.

I want to try this, but the only other players i know in real life are female and I usually share a bed with my girlfriend (who isn't interested in joining this), so this could be... interesting...

The sleeping thing would be ok to fix, tie the arms together near the shoulder tightly and it should work.

I want to see this done!

Sleeping doesn't seem too bad to me... it's the middle of the night bathroom breaks that will be awkward.

ooooh. this is fantastic. and also, possibly, an interesting way to send 24 hours with someone you may have never met before.

It was actually what I thought of when you posted your Non-sexual touch task... even moreso than the previous non-sexual touch task... and I am so tempted to offer myself up as a potential partner....

The changes in the relationship dynamic would be very interesting.

I'm pretty good at stating the obvious.

I think it would be more in the spirit of this task to not do it with a significant other. Someone you spend almost 24 hours a day with on a regular basis anyway? What's the fun (and challenge) in that?

also I cannot imagine how hard this would be with a 5 year old. . .

Can someone help me figure out how to compress and upload video to add to this task? We have documentation of our 'manouvers' but I can't seem to get it to work.

What kind of video file is it? Sometimes our video transcoder doesn't work well with various kinds of new hotness, so if you've tried to upload it to SFZero and it hasn't worked, that might be the problem. You could also try uploading it to youtube, and then adding it to your proof using "[youtube:http://youtube.com/your-videos-url]"

noted!

We would be interested to see a player attempt this with one of us who is unaware of their task.

I fear that would become a double-task

Doing this to a stranger, without some really brilliant planning, would likely quickly come across some legal issues (kidnapping, false arrest, battery, assault causing mayhem...).

there is a player who did this... who hasn't posted yet... and it wasn't me.

something like this (or this) should be (re)approved. Truly.

Write to SSI specifically saying you've done it and would like it reactivated?

Don't Ever Let Go by Kid A October 12th, 2008 11:06 AM

I've had this task stashed for a while. I've known what I wanted to do for most of that time, but I was procrastinating. When I first signed up for this I looked over the previous completions and noticed one major thing missing. No one, to date, h...
