Everything You Need to Know About Being a Potential Beacon
By: Cataclysm Date: August 8, 2014, 4:17 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
1.) First rule of Beacons Chat: You do NOT talk about Beacons
Chat.
2.) Second rule of Beacons Chat: You DO NOT TALK about Beacons
Chat.
3.) Rules 1 and 2 were obligitory references, but nonetheless
factual. Infringing upon these rules brings PUNISHMENT OF DEATH.
Or at a minimum ostracizing and menacing glares and avoiding you
in our lunch room like we're in Mean Girls.
4.) Roll is Love, Roll is Life, Roll is your god, and Roll will
guide all of your major decisions in life. Praise be to Roll!
5.) You will be trolled. You may not realize you're getting
trolled, but you're getting trolled. It's going to happen.
Accept it. Embrace it. Join Troll Pillar. I mean, Water Pillar.
6.) Don't touch Ging's wolf. That's just asking for trouble.
7.) We will binge on random things and chat will be overwhelmed
by our temporary addiction. Feel free to join in, they're not
usually unhealthy. Except when they are.
8.) D is objectively the most attractive 'dillo, you cannot
argue with this.
9.) Late night chat gets weird sometimes. And I mean WEIRD. I
hope you enjoy higher doses of insanity than normal, because
CTHULHU FHTAGN.
10.) You'll be stabbed eventually. Probably by everyone. We may
or may not mass-stab you upon entry based on our whimsy. Spare
kidneys are highly recommended.
11.) We only participate a little bit in the black market organ
circut. Usually, we're purchasers, but depending on how much we
like you, sometimes, we'll sell too.
12.) If you are going to defenstrate someone, please do it from
the 73rd floor. That has all the cheapest stuff.
13.) In case of emergency, send Faerdin pictures of monkeys and
insist they're attacking chat.
14.) There is a floor for everything. Literally everything.
Don't go to any floor marked "JAPAN: DO NOT ENTER." It's for
your own good.
15.) Fairy Tail is a pretty big thing here. If you ever see
Elryn, insist he is Gildarts. It's his favorite character.
15.23) Cataclysm has a fanatical and eternal death wish. If he
types in chat words or any series of words containing the letter
e, it means he wants to be pelted with warning shots. In such an
event, distribute freely.
16.) Any mention usage of a three-letter word used to designate
specific objects (henceforth referred to as "t*e") is considered
profane and will be met with being bludgeoned with a wide
variety of objects. Self-censorship on this matter is
unacceptable and will be punished equally severely.
17.) Bustichia's full title is NOT simply "Water Pillar Master
Sergeant," but rather "Prophet of the Troll Trinity and Master
Sergeant of the Water Pillar: Princess Reki-rekt "Chestbuster"
Thaddeus Ralph, Busty (Sperm Whale) Chest, the Pink One II: Soul
Devouring Blatant Sexual Imagery, Kinkmaster Extraordinaire,
Ender of Worlds, Butterfly Fairy Doofus Face, Trap Daddy, the
New Not-Minion, Sassy Boy, Peon, Team Trap, Hater Supreme, AKA
Mr. Slenderman, the King of Names and Grand Marquis of Trolls."
Only when reciting his title is it acceptable to break Rule #16.
18.) You are expected to have said title memorized, and able to
repeat it at a moment's notice.
19.) Beacons of Hope senority is determined by recollection of
past events and reminiscence. If you can reminisce about a past
event other Beacons do not recall, you hold senority over them.
These past events and fads conglomorate into a massive list of
"things we should get back into." Inevitably, this list will get
to the point where it collapses underneath its own weight and
creates a supermassive black hole. In such a case, refer to Rule
#13 for proper procedure.
20.) Proper procedure is crucial. What "proper procedure" is
considered will be based upon 3 circumstances. Firstly and least
relevant, whatever situation is at hand. Secondly and slightly
more relevant, whoever is present. Thirdly and most relevant,
whatever Roll dictates. Praise be to Roll and his Holy
Randomness.
21.) Defeatism in times of strife will not be tolerated. We're
the "Beacons of Hope," not the "Beacons of WAAAAH MOMMY IT'S TOO
HARD." BUCK UP, SOLDIER. We don't give up!
22.) There is a hearth in every room, and usually multiple.
Their purposes will become apparent should Melissa visit.
23.) Inside jokes happen all the time. Many will go over your
head. More will go over your head if you're particularly short.
24.) Semicolons; are; cool; and; you; should; use; them; often;
end; sentence.
25.) Have fun! Or else.

So the clan changes, and the people in it changes, but the
silliness and family values stay the same, and many of Cata's
points will always hold!
I'm stickying this thread as a go-to first read for all new
members, so veterans, feel free to add on to the list!
26. IRC will crash on you at least once, no matter the browser
or program you use. We keep a large supply of hammers for such a
moment.
27. Chat moves fast. You will get lost. Maps are available at
the entry way, but you must provide your own compass.
28. Leadership don't bite. They may be heavily armed and
armored, but they're much safer to poke than the wolf. And will
be happy to answer any questions/comments/concerns.
