Here's the deal: I'm near Springfield, MA, USA. I am happy to bury something within a 90 minute radius from me, or in places I frequent when I visit Boston or the New Haven County/ Fairfield county/ NYC area, though it may be a while before I go to each of those places again. Message me and we'll get to plotting!
Anyone want to bury something in England for me to find?
I played perplexcity and was totally willing to dig something up miles away from where I live.
I can bury something in GY.
Fancy that trip?
I can bury something in DC or in Edinburgh.
Gah!
The only players in NI are all people I introduced to the game myself anyways!
Well, hopefully I'll get across the water sometime...
I'm all for collaborating on this in Chicago, IL. I know we have a lot of sf0ers here...
Austria, anyone? Hungary? Slovakia?
Are there any Central European players except for me and babe hawaii?
I've come up with a very convoluted (but hopefully interesting) puzzle which can lead to any location... Anybody willing to collaborate with me? Unfortunately the nearest player to me is in Tasmania, so burying things in Melbourne seems silly.
How do we define real life? I mean, there are SF0 players that I have near constant contact with - they clearly don't count. But what about players I've met in person, but only occasionally? What about players that I've met, but only via skype? And why isn't SF0 real life, anyway?
We wish it were but is not. Yet.
Sucks, still.

At the end of the scavenger hunt I sent Yellowbear on, this awaited him. A box? A mysterious box? But where was the box. Why, it was underground. Buried for our friend. And I did indeed bury it. See? [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHHaW4lm...

I began this task by picking a couple of players who have not yet completed other tasks aside from the player photograph. I got a couple of random things at a salvage yard and decided to put them in an "Invasion of the Monster Women" lunch...
Part of this task is documented in Play Hooky. This all began with these directions, which are followed by spoiler space for those who want to try to figure out the location on their own. Below that, a hint follows which was provided about a week ...

Cameron: I found myself inexplicably being sent to New York for a 20-hour business trip. With flight time factored in as well as sleep, I knew I would have about 3 hours free, and needed to do some sort of task. It was just too good an opportunity. T...

Many of us in Minneapolis know each other already, but Nicole and I have never met, so it was suggested to me that I bury something for her. We contacted one another, and decided to each bury something for the other one, and discovered we had much t...

I've been stalled for days because I've signed up for this task, buried a lovely gift, and no one will dig. It's buried and waiting, and I cannot add another task until it's done. Beware the digging task my friends, beware.
