The hole discussion off how much information is safe to give on-line always reminds of that situation with a girl in YouTube who ended up been stalked. She gave so much information that the stalker actually drove to her house and phoned her asking something like " Hey I'm at your house, why is your back-door locked?"

That pretty much sums up the danger of giving to much information.

Natas you took two different posts out of their contexts and put them together to make them conflict. Don't try to say you know me or my opinions on teenage internet monitoring. Elite is right, this argument doesn't being here.

The newest H2H image "capsizexx.jpg " with still XXXX is stegged:

They won't succeed. If they do it's a testament, but they can't. The project is rigged.

Minors, paranoids, introverts all excluded. All the sort that were drawn here.

But to freeze or BBQ... so hard to decide.

Better get the chlorine ready anyway.

This brings me to the problem with this task. It is obvious that it is rigged, we have been given no clue as to what success or failure might be. How many pictures that meet the requirements will it take? 1,10,100? If we send in 100, could he then say yes but in picture 78 the fifth person is kinda off to the side and could have been a passerby and not part of the group so that one doesn't count. And so on. There is no way to beat the Doc on this, whether we pass or fail will be completely arbitrary.

So, the test is: If you know you are already going to fail... what do you do about it. Accept failure? or Persevere? (definition of persevere: To be steadfast or constant in any course; to persevere; to abide; to endure; to persist)

I accept failure.

I have always felt that failure was underrated.

Until I saw that stegged message, I felt bad about not being able to get the required number of people for the photo. Now that we know it's rigged? I'll still take the photo, but screw you Doc, I don't feel the tiniest bit bad that I wasn't able to meet your requirements.

So why dont we find a way for Bex to get out of the house instead of wandering around taking pictures? If the task doesn't matter, she will die at the end of it anyways, why not take that effort to go against the 'plan' and do something else? So, I guess I don't completely accept failure? We have 48hrs.... let's do something wisely with that time. She was already talking about jumping thru a window on the first floor. But also said her cell battery was low.

Failure?

Or lack of motivation....

I have to wonder if it's really rigged, though. Maybe this is the Doc's way of, yet again, gauging our drive to succeed? He tells us it's rigged when it actually isn't, and then sees how many of us give up vs. how many of us decide to go ahead with it anyway.

From an OOG standpoint, I think it would be pretty stupid to rig a task against the players, especially one that's going to require a lot of time and effort to do like this one. I know I would be pretty pissed at the PMs if I go through all of that work and find out that the task really was rigged against us.
