It's odd that this task is worth 125 points while much more complicated tree based activities are only worth 45.
Not just more complicated, a superset of the same task!
Task scoring remains a dark art, which is something I've been thinking about. I used to think about it in terms of, "anyone who [sleeps in a tree] well enough not get disapproved deserves at least [125] points even if their documentation/etc is poor." But the game makes corollary a statement that's harder to defend, namely that, "anyone who could or would sleep in a tree might well be expected to reach at least 610 points." Breaking this relationship makes a lot of sense to fix this issue, but - in my opinion - this should only be done in the context of other changes devised to stimulate and maintain drive.

There definitely need to be more completions of this one.
Also, how do you award a 21-point vote?
