All NS General posters are hearby invited to take place in the first of what will hopefully become an annual event: The New Generalites Snipe Hunt and Initiation. New posters are especially encourage to bring their Snipe hunting gunny sack. I also expect one of you new people to bring a left-hand smoke shifter for the campfire to follow the hunt.
Experienced posters may wish to suggest various other things the new posters might want to bring...

Meet here after dinner.

Word of warning: drop bears, jackalopes, and an escapee have all been spotted in the area.

Quite likely.

What would you consider new?

Call it in the last year or so...

Can we use nukes?

Nah, lets leave the NOOKS to da nOOBs in the RP forums.

Badger costumes are to be discouraged. Cheese may prove useful, but we do not take responsibility for any side-effects of its deployment.

Show up and you'll learn all about it. You are especially welcome as a new poster.
Oh, and Kamasaki's advice is valuable.

IV Stalin, Kamisaki, and Ruffy seem to know what's going on. I'm quite sure there are others who do as well. We have enough posters who've been through the boy scouts, summer camp, the military, etc. to help out.

And if you aren't a new poster or nOOb (distinction made), and don't know what a snipe hunt is, you are invited to participate as well.

I'm always confused. Perhaps the Noobs should bring deconfuser attachments for the left-handed, backward blowdryers that they will also bring.

Sorry Ruffy, BYOB is an old camp tradition. Look in one of the scoutmast... err ... moderators tents, I'm sure they'll have a bottle you can "liberate".

Score I'm a newbie! *brings hunting gear*

Excellent. I suggest a big sack and maybe a stick.

I think the idea is to spam...

Nope. Just a fun little social thread. (If you're really confused and want to know what's going on, look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snipe_hunt. But it's a major spoiler, so please don't post details for those who don't know.)

How about this nice big sack and a stick?

It's not a hunting trip, it's a snipe hunt. ;)

Yes, excellent ideas. Since you seem to know what's up, I'll put you in charge of the new posters. :D

I'd suggest that they try also be sure to bring a right-handed smoke shifter.

Daistallia, you're a lucky bastard.I just happen to have some alcohol left oevr from the office party, so no one should complain.

You don't shoot snipes you beat them with sticks and than stick 'em in a bag.

Don't forget to instruct them on the proper method of calling the snipe. If you don't get it just right, it won't work.

Oh, and be careful, those damn things are a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived! Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave newbies, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth.

Entirely different. ;)

Are we about ready?

Oh, and Ruffy, here, have a left handed stick. We wounldn't want a snipe to get ahold of one of those left handed shotguns.

I might have a left handed bat and sack set you could borrow to be properly equipped.

Actually, pretty similar...except it seems snipe is more active, assassin is more passive. Same game in basic theory tho.

I hear that the best way to catch snipes in my area is to make a snare. I just happen to have 25 feet of flight line (which I've been told is superior to shore line, tree line, and sky line). Also, if it gets dark while we're snipe hunting, I happen to have some batteries for my chem-lites. Finally, once we've finished the snipe hunt, I have some prop wash that we can use to clean up with.

One thing though: While we're out and about, watch out that nobody steps on the rooster eggs.

Which is, of course, why the Badger costumes would simply create confusion.

Oh, and for the uninitiated, left-handed sticks are different in that their handle is on the other side of the stick. Any questions, just show it to us and we'll let you know whether it's a left or right-handed one.
