Would if I could, but it's on the company dime. As usual I get no time for extracurriculars, but if I should happen to find time, I'll try to swing by the museum anyway.

Well, I'll be sending in my necklace, sans documentation. Should've either diluted the lemon juice soak or lowered the temp on the oven. The patina was good but it ended up too brittle to even try mailing. Oh well.

I didn't know the couriers don't count weekends as "days". $75.00! Sorry.
Called Georgina and she said they didn't think of that either but that the first round of photography begins on Tuesday with another to follow, later. So it should be okay to miss the Monday deadline by a few days.

Also... Next Assignment is up:
Quote:
Predictor of Imminent Doom
Searching for Guidance? Every Man (and Woman) knows the value of a good Prediction. It's the hunch you feel, usually registering in your Gut, and if you'd only followed that hunch you'd be living up the hill. Why not learn the tricks of Wall Street Bankers, Generals and Statesmen whose livelihoods depend on knowing what Imminent Doom the future holds. The problem was that few could afford such Predictors. We have been fortunate enough to make terms with Manufacturers of the best Predictors to enable us to sell them to you for only $2.00. The same quality, the same assurance as with more expensive models. Made from the purest Elements from forests in Paraguay and Guiana. Usually sold for $5.00. Yours for $2.00. If by mail, postage extra, 2 cents.

I want a device that predicts the future, and the imminent doom it holds. Find and modify an already-existing one or create one of your own.

-Daisy Fortunis

Assignment #2: Create the Predictor of Imminent Doom. Ship it via UPS, FedEx, DHL, or another courier to:

Ghosts of a Chance
c/o Georgina Bath
tel: 202.633.8532
Suite 4200
Smithsonian American Art Museum
750 Ninth Street NW
Washington DC 20001

The Predictor is due at the museum by Friday, September 19th. Click here for full rules.

Comments
HAHAHAHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA! this is freaking hilarious! i cant believe someone would be so stupid!


So, I'm sending in both assignments at once.

I found the comment about the game changing due to "Unfiction comments" kind of interesting. Wink

In emailing Georgina Bath about the artifacts, her emails Have "GOAC" in the subject, so it looks like that's the preferred reference for the game.

Also... for task 3:

Georgina wrote:
And thank you for submitting the second artifact already, it’s the first one that I have for that task! Very, very exciting. Details of the third artifact should be up by the end of the week, though Daisy and Daniel can be unpredictable sometimes.
