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.

Any very naughty goats?

What would you consider new?

Can we use nukes?

Any very naughty goats?

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.

Where the hell is the open bar?

The better question is what the hell is this?

BYOB Someone suggest what the new posters should bring?

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

I'm not a n00b, and I have not the foggiest idea what you're all banging on about.

I'm just bloody confused....:confused:

I'm not a n00b and I still don't have any idea.

I am a n00b and i'm confused. Does anyone but the OP know what is going on?

BYOB? How cheap. :(

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.

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

I am a n00b and i'm confused. Does anyone but the OP know what is going on?

I think the idea is to spam...

*Gets shotgun*

Lock'n'load! :D

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.)

*Gets shotgun*

How about this nice big sack and a stick?

No shotgun? No beer? What is a huntingtrip without booze and guns? :(

Should I fetch some headlight fluid? Or perhaps some elbow grease?

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

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

*Brings .50 cal sniper rifle*



...what?

*gets drunk*

*Aims deconfuser at you. Because it's left-handed and backwards, misses, hits self. Sees the light. Leaves.*

A little advice to the n00bs: please don't be caught wearing hats equiped with dear antlers. The results could be unpleasant.

*hide's in a camouflaged foxhole with a Sniper Rifle waiting for some game*

good. that means I won't be forced into this. but really i say it should be measured by postcount.

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.

*unloads 200 barrels of vodka, 800 bottles of whiskey, and 7 crates of assorted beers*

I also have my shotgun ready and loaded to shoot the RPers, er I mean n00bs, er I mean SNIPES.

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

But you can shoot snipers

*brings a left-handed spanner and a rotary oscillator.*

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.

Maybe the noobs can find me a left handed sky hook...

A snipe hunt... now nostalgic.

you also need flashlights with the blue LED bulbs in.

*Unloads boxes of modded flashlights.*

So I've been here a while, but I don't post much. What do I count as?

Oh man, I'm so stoned right now, I have no idea whats goin' on.

WTF is a snipe hunt?

I still have some sound-powered phone batteries and bead window cleaner sitting in a drawer from my Navy days. There some gig line here too. :)

Edit: Ooh! an unopened packet of dehydrated water! Just the thing to quench one's thirst! :D

*Packs USMC Rucksack and grabs M-24 Bolt-Action Rifle*

I'm Ready! :D

if you have to ask... ;)

WTF is a snipe hunt?here's your bag, stick and flashlight... please stand over there.

*brings booze*

*watches the fun*

*brings a left-handed spanner and a rotary oscillator.*
You probably will need a sky hook and a dragging bowline to augment these tools. :p

mmm...nothing like a round of assassins.

*grabs night vision goggles*

*starts digging foxholes*

Oh...a Snipe Hunt.

*brings bucket of elbow grease to pass*

:::Relives W of rifle, hands him a stick and a bag:::

Hmmm.... You aren't going to catch any sinpe down there...

Good choice, TSI. (Oh, and congrats on your acceptance. This should be good practice for some of the things they'll be having you do at the academy. ;))

Hmmm.... You aren't going to catch any sinpe down there...

hmm...seems there might be some differences between Assassins and Snipe Hunt...fox hole is perfect for assassins.

*stops digging fox hole*

I don't know whether to hunt or flee!

Edit: After actually reading the OP...*walks away*

Damnit! I can't find my left handed shot gun..

hmm...seems there might be some differences between Assassins and Snipe Hunt...fox hole is perfect for assassins.

*stops digging fox hole*

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.

Damnit! I can't find my left handed shot gun..

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

edit:Nuts, Dastilia beat me to it, still I think I make the better offer what with including the sack.

Oh, and I hope you remembered to bring that length of shore line. If not we'll just have one of the newbies fetch some.

Yep, go ahead and give him the sack as well.

Entirely different. ;)


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

ha ha still hiding in a camouflaged foxhole with a Sniper Rifle

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.

BYOB? How cheap. :(
Ok then. We'll have a complete assortment of Badgers there.
Happy now, Ruffy?

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.

*bang!* Oops. Finger slipped. Did I hit anyone?
