I call shenanigans.

I tried to find the instantly-retired version of this submission a while ago and wasn't able to locate it. So, I can guarantee I didn't tell SPAR about it.

Someone's got secret knowledge and the ability to locate denied tasks.

One of these days, we'll find a way to extract the secret from you. It's just a matter of time.

In the mean time, I've taken the basic idea and turned it into three non-meta EC tasks (Temporal Holiday I, II, and III), and will be submitting 'em for consideration when the time is right.

I know how, it's not that hard.
Okay, I don't *exactly* know how...

EDIT: To show I'm not talking out of my ass, check out the latest rejected task and this great Kyle Hamilton original

Please!

Really, though, this should be "Tasking By Gaslighting"

Preternatural segue

Okay... that was a supernatural segue!
I must know!!! How do you manage such feats Sean?

Can the task be completed before you submit for Praxis, or does submitting for Praxis constitute "completion" of the task?

Do you see what I am getting at? Is this question already answered somewhere? I am new and do not yet know my way around everything. (Like big red X's. I don't know what those are, though they sound bad.)

As far as I know, this was the first 'bid red X.'

I think of most tasks as being completed before submission (so submitting using electronic means wouldn't invalidate the proof), but this might indeed be a good target to disintermediate)

Also, the big red X refers to flagging, which is indeed a bad thing.

Mind all you potential anachronists, the documentation technology that is available to use for this task is going to be fairly limited.

Does anyone have a Camera Obscura handy?
