This is not the task you are looking for.
A S.N.I.D.E. task by Poon
When Burn Unit approached me I felt that this was the perfect opportunity
for a little disinformation:
The conversation is as follows....
Hi!
I am just sure you're the other person working on trajectory of desire
(last I check there were only 2 in progress). Plus I tried to add some
people as collaborators and the system said they were "already signed
up."
I thought I'd reach out to you and let you know we've got a working group
sawing away at the task. Do you want to share information, or work in
secret obscurity? I can see an argument for either one--share info so
we don't go redundant or hide info so we keep it competitive and surprising.
Your thoughts?

Now don't
get me wrong. Despite the fact that he is the antithesis of everything
good and holy that all SF SF0 players hold dear; a horned daemon gnashing
his teeth sharpened by the hands of concubine slave girls he has taken
a from the bleeding mauled arms of their families after they first had
become his victims in the cold of dark mid-west winter evenings; wanting
nothing more than to devour our great land in the fiery pit of his belly.....I
kind of respect the guy....but I felt it necessary in the spirit of S.N.I.D.E.
to fuck with him.

Very perceptive. Yes, I have had this one in the works since right around
the time I got elected. I think it is a great Idea that we share information.
It would be no use to either of us if we had huge cross over and you of
all people should know the cliché about great minds. We have come
to a lull in the creative process at this point anyway so it might be
nice to open up free discussion on the topic. I am excited to hear about
what you are working on.

time.
That's our planned theme.

Okay I showed a little of my hand. so your turn--what's your guys' m.o.?
where you going with it?
and word on the street is you guys are talking about doing purple. you.
rat. finks.
;-) we've just started talking about color, so it's not like we're very
far down the road; it amuses me to no end that we were both thinking purple.
are you guys committed to it? because we'll have to change our angle a
little if you are.

Sorry for taking so long on this BU, It seems that the world is hell bent
on keeping my mind in a perpetual state of explosion. Yes we are indeed
purple. Our Idea is simple but ingenious. We propose splitting the University.
It is by far the largest group. Black is clogging the praxis and player
page. We will separate Process from Conception and the didactic from the
sentimental. The University would retain its name but narrow its focus
to formalism, emotional expression and craft while the College of Conceptual
Perception would emerge to fill in the remainder by concerning itself
with Artistic endeavors more heady.
There are other details here and there but that is the just of what we
have so far.

You dogmatic HC fiends always want to disrupt my beloved university!
do I rightly read it that the college of perceptual conception (ta ha!)
would then focus on instances of conceptual art, a kind of post-fluxus
gathering for people to think about thinking and dear old UofA will be
the object factory?
or to put it another way, can you give me some praxis so I understand:
what would be one of the tasks your new group will do that will be different
from tasks the UofA will do?
I think it sounds cool, I'm just very curious what it will look like.

It is not perceptual but perpetual...but really the other might be better..would
I have to ad you as a collaborator if we changed the name? Any way One
of the Ievel one tasks is this....

Peeing in the corner.
Do something completely absurd and convince another person or group of
people that it is art.So how is it going on your end? I've shared. Your
turn.

Now, Did I
think for one moment that I had fooled BU for at least that much time?
No! If one thing can be said about that foul daemon is that he is most
definitely one of the smartest and most astute SF0 players out there.
My rouse was rather transparent and might have been successful with say...Rubin...but
not burn unit. of course the futility of the attempt did nothing to dissuade
the fun. Is the information he gave me as fraudulent as that which I ave
him? Perhaps, but regardless the information has been vulgarly changed
to protect any truths he might have graciously thrown my way.
****
well, I said perceptual cuz you said perception
College of Conceptual Perception
Ha, don't add me! i'm already workin on it!
That task is pretty damn funny.
on our end we're working out good drafts of our description--you know,
"Members of this group should play to help the goats enjoy some level
of release in their lives" kind of stuff.
And we hopefully have got a volunteer to do some good design work-- the
shit I did isn't anywhere near as cool as this, if that's what I think
it is. The Villain said he'd "give it a shot" which, if he has
time, I expect it will be stunning.
-burnunit

I know! That is an amazing piece of work. I was wondering who did it and
what it is for. I have to say...whoever it was is a design genius!
I'll keep you updated and you do the same ;)

___________________________
Im sure at
this point you are asking yourself, why are you messing with BU? The answer
is simple.... because BU is awesome. This game got its first heat from
players "messing" with each other. Pranks and friendly poking
is what S.N.I.D.E. is all about we want to ensure that the fun, fire,
and creative player interactivity never dies. Burn Unit is my focus because
since the beginning of the era we have been friendly adversaries. We were
the first two to race up the front page accompanied shortly after by Kat.
In mid era we faced each other again in a Senatorial race accompanied
by Kat. And now at the end we both lead two teams of players to change
the face of SF0..... Accompanied by Kat.... perhaps Kat is the real mastermind
and I should have been watching her instead....
Cheers BU....yet it continues.
