If i post a flag on top that reads "Freedom" may it count for humanitarian crisis? =)

Mark, you should find or recruit a player for another group!

So, I'm going to hit the water tower in my city...
"The prominent tower, which marks "old" Brentwood as the growing town's most lasting symbol, can be seen from miles around at 130 feet tall."
This is going ot take some planning, and I'm going to have to leave my mark on this thing, haha.

Anyone got any good ideas on how to construct a flag that I can somehow attach to said water tower? I'm mostly worried about attaching it the the tower, and getting it to stay, without having any chances of getting "vandalisim" slapped on me in the chance I am caught.

EDIT:

Just did some recon, looks pretty basic. To get into the "compound" all I need to do is hop a 6 foot fence, not even with barbed wire! The ladder up may have a security block thing for the first 10 feet or so, but that is easily over-come.
This task is looking more and more possible.

I'm curious how this applies to University of Aesthematics, or EquivalenZ? I only criticize the choice of groups because this task seems like it would be most appropriate as a non-group task.

I motion for a modification, unless Phil C. can explain.

I'd be interested to hear Phil's logic on this. The real issue is that, on SFZero, just about anything could/should be Aesthematics. Because even if you run with the U of A as "Art (writ large)", performance-y stuff is part and parcel.

p.s. Mark Curtis' suggestion has been added.

Sorry it has taken me rather long to respond to your observations. I think in reality, I should have applied for the task as an All groups Tasks, perhaps If it is not to late to change I could ask for such a favor.
However as far as the Artistic portion of the task, perhaps finding something to climb takes a bit of artistic or creative perception, not to mention allowing yourself to admire the world from a different perspective once you have reached set point. Also the physical technique of climbing is rather like an art, knowing where to place a hand or foot, is rather like a good literary piece or painting, when you take a step in one direction without thought you may not achieve the desired point, or you know... fall really far.
But yes I would rather that this was an all inclusive task.
I thank you for your observation The Villain, it is a very good point.

I was walking through the desert with my mind empty of expectation, when I saw this marvelous piece of art. Well over thirty feet tall. I thought of this task and knew I had to get to the top of her.

Hold it! This task has been done as part of a series of three tasks, starting with the Trespassing task and ending with the Capture a Flag task. This description picks up in the middle of this chain, so you should probably read the Trespassing stor...
