Initiation for New Rebels

Initiation,eh?

I think we could work out some kind of trial,so to speak.Maybe set up a mission kinda thing.

 

Speaking as a New Rebel, I would prefer a Knighting Ceremony with maybe a few trials to get to the ceremony. Just don't do what my high school drill team tried to do to its new members, undress them in the school parking lot. Anyone tries that and you'll find out how great my powers are.

 

Hmmm...yes, Roy, indeed that does sound cool...got anything in mind?

I wouldn't worry, Amy, just go read the first post again.

 

I agree Rebel Princess, as one of the newbies around here I think the knighting ceremony sounds fun maybe after a trial of Star Wars trivia. Each Rebel gets to come up with a question for the new person and if they get the majority right then they can be knighted. Since there has been such a debate on the newbie issue as of late I think I am going to start thinking of myself as a padawan instead of a newbie. I dont know...just a silly random thought

 

yeah there will be no undressing of any member in a public parking lot.Trust me,you dont wanna see me running around in my boxers

What you do outside of a meet is your own business

Chris~ I'm sure I or another IC member could come up with a pretty good trial for a newbie

 

As for the trials, it definately should be Star Wars related, like answering triva, maybe a lightsaber battle.

Or maybe maybe people who have been in the Boston Rebels the longest can take a New Rebel to be there Padawan and they make up the trials.

Just a thought.

 

*Evil laughter*

Long live the IC!

 

Hey Darth Dowe, a little freaky with that evil laughter.

 

Tony laughs like that all the time.You should see the looks he gets at the pubs

 

Thanks for the warning.

 

Let me just take a moment to rule out the Beantown Pub for an initiation setting...

 

I think Roy Tony and I have just added something extra to talk about at the IC meeting tonight .

 

how about a sort of treasure hunt type trial where the final destination is the "knighting ceremony"
For newbies you don't like you can send them on a wild goose chase

 

I was thinking the same thing

 

which part?

 

Both

 

Heh! That's almost exactly what I was thinking, guys. (Minus the newbie hassling, of COURSE.)

 

how can you minus the newbie hassling part?

 

I'm not sure

 

By not scaring the n00bs away before they even become Rebels, that's how.

 

Its more of a trial of sorts.
Gotta be able to play in the sandbox together type thing

 

you would think, as star wars geeks, newbies could live with a bit of hazing

 

Hey you don't have a good organization without a little newbie hazing. It's a time honored tradition of all groups. As long as you don't let it get out of hand it's all in good fun. And the thing to remember about it is that EVERY other person has gone through it so once your turn is done you get to do it to someone else. Kind of like big brother/big sister duties, except I'm the youngest in my family so I missed out

 

Yeah well I got here before most of you so I don't have to deal with it . But then again, Bib did call me enough things(still does when I talk to him) to be considered hazing. hehe

 

As long as you don't let it get out of hand it's all in good fun.

PRECISELY.

Now we need only to impart that to ALL n00bs during initiation.
