Futility is hoping to succeed at a task that is, by definition, impossible to succeed at. I have assumed failure before I began by posting this completion as a comment, not a full praxis.

Without the expectation of garnering points, I have escaped the definition of success within a "game" such as sf0. It may be argued that the objective of this game is subject to definition by any individual, but when the explanation for the game includes such sections as "Scoring" and "Voting" it is futile to complete tasks without expecting points (Level 0 completions). That is not to say that no one pursues futility, as the Praxi for this task have shown.

FUTILITY 1. the quality of being futile; ineffectiveness; uselessness. 2. a trifle or frivolity: the large collection of futilities that clutter our minds. 3. a futile act or event.
