It's been a while since I've thought about what I accomplished at 19.1, and about how a lot of what I worked towards that session in terms of keeping the position of documentator alive has been lost due to covid. If you are a current CTYer and see this and want to revive the position of documentator PLEASE contact me on my personal Instagram @madrovia (I go by Maddie now btw so that's why the names are different) and I can give you any info you need.<br />
<br />
I hope that the account @irisdocumentator on Instagram and youtube help bring back a lot of the traditions at camp. If you don't know what I'm talking about, irisdocumentator is the account I posted pictures and videos to during 19.1. I posted bigger traditions like American pie and other canon songs during dances, as well as a lot of the smaller traditions that have been forgotten about. If you are a current CTYer I urge you to at least give it a look and see what camp used to look like. Maybe even bring back some of the traditions to camp.<br />

<hr />
<div>The [[Alcove]] is the most recent in a long line of traditionalist groups at [[Lancaster]], and also the most long-lived. It is the result of a series of evolutions and mergers between [[LLRT]], [[Digiclan]], and the [[Eish|Eishans]], and first came about in 2001.<br />
<br />
The Alcove, much like LLRT's Land of the Large Round Tables, refers not only to the group, but also to a specific dining room area—a literal alcove. It is located in the far corner of KIVO (formerly Dining Hall 1) in a small, rounded room. This room has taller tables, odd-looking lights, and differently colored walls when compared to the rest of the Dining Halls. It is usually quite lively, and has at times been singled out by RAs for failure to clean up, sitting on counters, and general rowdiness. In the mornings, when the Alcove and KIVO are closed, the Alcove has been known to sit in the entrance to the dining room on both sides. As of LAN 17.1, the Alcove is a pale, minty blue color, and has been semi-affectionately nicknamed the "dentist's office," the "fluoride zone," and the "clean-cove"<br />
<br />
Historically, the Alcove has been characterized by its devotion to preserving and upholding Lancaster's traditions—Alcovians often numbered among the first to run up to the speakers when a [[Canon]] song was played at a [[dance]], and were generally knowledgable about all the traditions and eager to spread that knowledge. Lancaster's oldest [[student positions]] have, since the Alcove's inception, tended to go to Alcovians. The cast of ''[[The Rocky Horror Picture Show]]'' on [[Second Saturday]] is often entirely Alcovian.<br />
<br />
In more recent history, Alcovians often help the current [[Jester]] carry out Second Sunday Shenanigans and assist in stealing the painting from the DRL's office. They also help carry out the sacrifice of Carol the Watermelon, though many of the original sacrificers would not identify as Alcovians themselves.<br />

<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
The Alcove has been known to gather in certain areas at certain times to discuss certain things, sometimes involving t-shirts. Meeting places included the Schnader 1 lounge, near the Electric Tree, or sometimes the Atlee/Dubbs 2 lounge. Thomas, while acting as a previous hub, remains relatively empty, as it is the new office of the administrative staff.<br />
<br />
===Second Session===<br />
<br />
The Alcove of Second Session, much like the LLRT, experienced two generations by its eighth year in 2008. The first generation ended while the Alcove went into Exile while the [[Lancaster|Dining Hall]] completed its renovation. This first generation had a member demographic notably different from the successive generation and was essentially a separate social circle. Perhaps as a result of its Exile and the conjugal loss of a findable location, the Alcove became very exclusive and limited in size. It was criticized, notably by [[User:Nixon|Michael Nixon]], then-[[Satan|Devil]], but also by various Anti-Alcove groups, for having become too elitist. The second generation of the Alcove, beginning in 2005, returned to being a group of friends, most of whom happened to share a reverence for tradition. Due to its increased discoverability, the Alcove expanded rapidly after 2005, peaking at some 70 members in 2007 (the previous Alcove peaked at less than 40 members), and its new members remembered only the "new guard," beginning with [[Duck|Will Colmer]] and Michael Nixon. <br />
<br />
In 07.2, the southernmost section of the Dining Hall was sealed off for Kosherization. As such, the Alcove became unreachable. Alcovians met at meals in the corner of Dining Hall 2. The death of the Alcove gave rise to a mourning session (and to the 2007 T-shirt). Among other things, Alcovians considered relocation and renaming, to things such as the Kalcove (Kosher-Alcover), the Nalcove (not-Alcove or new-Alcove), or something else. In 2008, it turned out that "something else," namely, returning to the reopened Alcove, was the best option. Due to the bulk of members, the Alcove in 2008 became socially segmented into a further two or three separate social groups, although by 2009, due to the loss of so many nomores, the divisions largely massed into a single Alcove again, ushering in the Alcove's third generation.<br />
<br />
The Alcove once boasted a sign hanging outside that read "Game Corner," which inspired the 06.2 t-shirt. In 2006, it also has many food-based posters, which inspired the following inside joke:<br />
<br />
::ALL HAIL THE [[Island Coconut Chicken|ISLAND COCONUT CHICKEN]]!!!<br />
<br />
These posters were replaced with posters espousing the values of veganism, organic, kosher, etc. when KIVO was born in 08.1.<br />
<br />
The Alcove's history since 2010 is not well-documented.<br />
<br />
===First Session===<br />
<br />
The First Session Alcove also experienced three generations in the same timeframe as Second Session, albeit at a faster pace. Because Anti-Alcove groups were much more prominent during First Session, notably in 04.1 and 06.1, the second generation Alcove, beginning in the same year as that of Second Session, ended prematurely after 2006. Although some individuals recalled past Alcovians, much of this memory and the "lineage" of positions (of which there were far fewer than Session 2) was lost. Thus, the Session 1 Alcove began its third generation in 2007, as evidenced by the creation of the [[Trinity (Session 1)|Trinity]].<br />
<br />
===Differences===<br />
<br />
Over time, the Alcoves of the two sessions have diverged in a number of ways; among them:<br />
<br />
* Session 1 lacks [[Monty Python Madness]] and never had an Ultimate Contact List of DOOOM!!<br />
* Only Session 1 has the [[Dr. Mario Dance]] in its Canon; meanwhile, Session 2 retained [[Rock Lobster]].<br />
* The two sessions have different [[Afterdance]] lineups (albeit with substantial overlap).<br />
* The two sessions have different [[Trinity|Trinities]], and different positions in general.<br />
* Session 1 is said to be more familial, while Session 2 is said to be rowdier and more incestuous.<br />
<br />
==Opposition==<br />
<br />
The Alcove has, throughout its history, experienced various degrees of contention from other groups of students. Complaints about the Alcove tend to fall into two broad categories: that the group is too exclusive, or that its influence over tradition is too strong. Since the makeup and feel of the Alcove has varied greatly over time, the validity of such criticisms has as well.<br />
<br />
The exclusivity of the Alcove has been criticized by its own members—notably in 04.2 and in 08.1, but certainly in other years and sessions as well. While at times in the Alcove's history, elitism has indeed and truly run high, at other times (such as in 08.1), these internal musings on exclusivity have been a consequence of committing the first of the [http://www.plausiblydeniable.com/opinion/gsf.html Five Geek Social Fallacies]. For the most part, charges of exclusivity in the Alcove conflate the ''role'' served by the Alcove (i.e., upholding traditions) with its ''composition'' (i.e., a group of friends)—the latter of which is intrinsically exclusive, since friendship is a selective relationship. This awkward confusion was poignantly exemplified in the interaction that occurred each time a CTYer approached an Alcovian about the annual Alcove t-shirt: The CTYer would hear in response, "I mean, it'll just be a shirt with the names of a bunch of people you don't know..."<br />
<br />
Accusations of the Alcove monopolizing tradition also have different interpretations, depending on the role the Alcove in that day and age was taking in tradition. During some years and sessions, the Alcove merely upheld and practiced tradition with zeal. In these eras, complaints about the Alcove having too much power over tradition were likely the consequence of [[shameless egotism]]—in particular, a desire to "leave a mark" in the same way that, say, the [[Holder of the Duck]] might do via the physical Legend of the Duck. This was often accompanied by the creation of new traditions or positions, which frequently (though not always) failed to pass the test of time. In other generations of the Alcove, the Alcove itself was responsible for the profusion of new positions, leading to questions about its authority in regard to being able to leave a lasting legacy.<br />
<br />
Finally, some individuals, such as the original Anti-Alcove, have criticized the Alcove's members for working to preserve tradition at all—instead opting to promote their own actions. Beyond any egotism involved, these criticisms are harder to measure, since they reflect a fundamental difference in approach towards the CTY experience—the Alcove's traditionally being that the existence of tradition adds an (optional) depth of richness to the CTY experience.<br />
<br />
For a majority of sessions, and a majority of individual Alcovians, however, the Alcove has been a group of friends who strove only to demonstrate and incite new passion for traditions, and the feeling of connection, both to fellow CTYers and to CTYers past, that they provided—but the Alcove is certainly not perfect, and like any group of people, will always have those who act in bad faith.<br />
<br />
===Anti-Alcove===<br />
<br />
In 04.1, a group of people was formed who were opposed to the idea of having a unified group at Lancaster (The Alcove) that seemed to have "control over tradition" and was too exclusive. They disrupted traditional activities, such as interrupting "[[Oh L'Amour]]" by running onto the pavement and doing the chicken dance where people were sitting. They also started the practice of going into the centers of the circles formed for all the slow Canon songs, a practice that has largely died out with their group.<br />
<br />
The Alcove, in response to the allegations made by the Anti-Alcove, discussed the situation, both among themselves and at an activity period which was open to all. Many people agreed that the Alcove seemed to be exclusive, though most still did not agree with how the Anti-Alcove handled their grievances, finding it disrespectful toward all those who wanted to participate in and to enjoy traditions. The acts of the Anti-Alcove and their general existence is one of the reasons why the Alcove was not as prominent in 05.1 and 06.1, and is also thought to have played a prominent role in the First Session Alcove diverging from the Alcove of Second Session, which experienced less disruption.<br />
<br />
Anti-Alcoves have also existed during 06.1, 08.1, and 08.2, although these groups were not as prominent as the original. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jersey_v._Dharun_Ravi Dharun Ravi] was a member of one of these groups.<br />
<br />
There was some Anti-Alcove sentiment from 13.1-15.1, despite efforts by some Alcovians to further dismantle the exclusivity and negative connotations of the Alcove. This sentiment did not give birth to an actual revival of the Anti-Alcove, however.<br />
<br />
==="The Alcove is Dead" (mostly session 1 specific)===<br />
<br />
Beginning in 10.1, some Alcovians began to feel that CTY tradition was degenerating over the years, as fewer students returned to pass on those traditions and the number of squirrels each session increased. As a result, the Alcove strove to become a place for welcoming in squirrels to learn about tradition—a contrast to the past, where its members spread knowledge of tradition primarily through eager personal participation in them.<br />
<br />
This sentiment of "adopting" squirrels would stick, for better or worse. In many cases, this resulted in wonderful friendships being formed between onemores/nomores and squirrels where tradition was passed on and people had loads of fun in general. In other cases, the relationship became very forced, and nearly resembled cult initiation. Some of these friendships were inherently abusive during the idea's first couple years of inception. <br />
<br />
Due to the increasing number of students on campus and the resulting changing social dynamics, more positions were passed down to those who didn't always sit in the alcove. In fact, starting in 12.1, certain position holders like some sons (Eli, Zoe, Ryan) and jesters (Sam, Jamin, D-Rock) were more likely to be found outside of the alcove during mealtime. As a result, the alcove became more and more just a place where people who like tradition and were often involved in it sat. The phrase "The Alcove is Dead" would be heard both offline and online towards the end and after 13.1 in light of these recent developments, much to the chagrin of certain alcovians.<br />
<br />
In essence, as of 14.1, position-holders are more the ones that maintain traditions, and in many cases are separate from the alcove. The Alcove still has a voice in how traditions are run, however this is more due to the density of the number of people who are into traditions in the alcove.<br />
<br />
Given the number of students at Lancaster currently, this is a more sustainable approach, as it ensures that those who make friends with those outside of the alcove can still help carry out traditions even if they chose to sit with a different group of friends for a majority of their time at CTY.<br />
<br />
==Auxiliary Alcove Locations==<br />
<br />
===Teh Corner===<br />
<br />
Teh Corner is a circular table booth adjacent to the Alcove which was first inhabited and recognized at Lancaster in 05.1. The "Teh" in its name was intentionally created by Nathan (whose last name escapes me) and is not a misspelling. (Teh Corner is also known as "The Stripper Booth" in Session One.)<br />
<br />
People who sat at Teh Corner do not consider themselves a group like the Alcove. Teh Corner refers to the actual location; those that sit there often consider themselves Alcovians, or are unwitting non-Alcovians who quickly get sucked in. They choose to sit at Teh Corner due to its more intimate feel than the Alcove, as it is one central table as opposed to many smaller ones (although in 08.2 some people took to pushing tables together in the Alcove to form one larger one). Teh Corner was often crammed with nine or more people sitting on each others' laps, or up above Teh Corner's booth, adopting the catch phrase "There's always room at Teh Corner," though RAs disapproved due to the PDA that occurred. <br />
<br />
Originally, "Teh Corner" served as the gathering place of the Greeklings, but as they made friends, the ranks swelled until additional tables were dragged over to increase the carrying capacity of Teh Corner, much to the dismay of RAs and SRAs who enforced the no-moving-furniture policy.<br />
<br />
Teh Corner has a reputation as being incredibly noisy, often staging sing-a-longs. In 06.1, this caused a significant amount of strife as the site leaders ate their meals adjacent to Teh Corner. This prompted a crack-down on the moving furniture rules, despite the fact that the tables were always returned to their positions after meals, and limits on the number of people who could be squeezed into Teh Corner. Nevertheless, these rules were rarely followed.<br />
<br />
In fact, it is frequently said that the Alcove died for Session 1 in 05.1, and Teh Corner was born (out of the remains of the Alcove). The 06.1 "Alcove Shirt" is a diagram of Teh Corner.<br />
<br />
Even during Second Sessions, some Alcovians choose to sit outside the actual Alcove (which can hardly fit its bulging populace), tending instead to squeeze into this built-in table and semi-circular seat right outside, dubbed "the Corner." While its location is the same as that of Teh Corner, it is spelled slightly differently. "The Corner" is also commonly referred to as "Alcove overflow" and has grown to encompass the selection of small tables between the corner and the alcove.<br />
<br />
===The TARDIS===<br />
<br />
The TARDIS is the booth in the corner opposite Teh Corner. It acquired this name after 12 people managed to sit in the "booth" portion of it in 13.1. It is fabled to be capable of containing the entirety of the multiverse, although that has never been attempted, and, subsequently, never accomplished.<br />
<br />
===The Land of the Large Round Tables===<br />
<br />
The Land of the Large Round Tables is the dining room diametrically opposite the Alcove, found by strafing far to the right upon entering the dining hall. This was the former home of [[LLRT]], but was closed sometime in the early 2000's. In 2009, due to an increase in site population, some Alcovians, most noticeably three or more members of the Trinity, chose to sit in this dining area instead of the Alcove. In the LLRT, the tables are larger and can hold many more people then the small Alcovian tables, which promotes greater discussion as well as greater tossing of [[duct tape]] and salt shakers. Since 2007, this has been the location of the [[Last Supper]], which was previously held in the dining room entrance area. For Second Session 2010, however, LLRT was occupied by students from other camps for much of the session, and was unavailable for use by CTYers.<br />
<br />
==Recent Developments==<br />
<br />
At least in session 1, it is seen as significantly less shameful to be an alcovian. everyone is accepted into the alcove and it is a happy place. everyone gets in trouble for pda (even if they were just sharing a seat) <br />

<hr />
<div>[[Quad Time]] is a timeslot at night after Study Hall during which students can hang out on the quad of their campus. It is also known as '''Meet Market''' at some sites and is called '''Social Time''' at LMU, Princeton, Seattle, and Siena.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Lancaster==<br />
<br />
At [[Lancaster]], Quad Time usually involves a voluntary structured activity that usually has something to do with the current [[CTY Holidays|Holiday]], such as the Thanksgiving Feast. It may also be the [[Quiz Bowl]] Finals, [[Monty Python Madness]], the RA talent show (RA Palooza) on last Sunday, or the slideshow on last Wednesday. Many students go into the [[Lancaster#Dorms|lounges]] in Schnader for socialization, or spend time on the Quad playing frisbee, singing, grass orgying, and simply goofing around.<br />
In 2010, Quad Time was traditionally ended by Jeff Sachs singing his "Quad Time is Over" rap which goes as follows:<br />
<br />
''Quad time is over do what'chu gotta do when your RA is gonna go TALK TO YOU!''<br />
<br />
In 19.1, there was an iconic rainy day in which a bunch of people started dancing while it rained and a genius decided to bring SHAMPOO. People started washing their hair and “Closing Time” was the wettest and messiest it’s ever been. <br />
<br />
''I know that you all had lots of fun so go to your halls and WALK DON'T RUN!''<br />
<br />
''I know that you all had a fun filled day so go to your dorms and HIT THE HAY!''<br />
<br />
''--Beat Boxing--''<br />
<br />
In 2015, Quad Time was always ended by the song "Closing Time", usually accompanied by RA Audrey singing a CTY version.<br />
''Closing time, don't forget your night meds, now get off of my quad...'' <br />
<br />
"Closing Time" was also played at the end of every Quad Time in 17.1. It was succeeded by the exchange of:<br />
<br />
"RAs: "GO HOME, NOBODY LOVES YOU!"<br />
Students: "WE LOVE YOU!"<br />
RAs: "TAKE YOUR NIGHT MEDS!"<br />
Students: "WHAT ARE NIGHT MEDS?"<br />
RAs: "YOU KNOW!"<br />
Students: "DRUGS""<br />
<br />
This was also done at the end of every afterdance.<br />
<br />
==Los Angeles==<br />
At [[LMU]], after every Social Time, RAs will yell "GO HOME, NOBODY LOVES YOU!!!!" At other sites, this only happens after [[Dances]].<br />
<br />
==Saratoga Springs==<br />
At [[Skidmore]], Quad Time is usually devoted to little knots of people talking, Frisbee throwing (in lines, circles, or maybe a game of ultimate), grass orgies, and other things (you guess). At the end of the last Quad Time (3rd Wednesday), the [[Student Hierarchy#Names Based on Number of Years Remaining|nevermores and nomores]] go on Case Patio and shout, "GOOD NIGHT, GO HOME, NOBODY LOVES YOU...EXCEPT JON GOOD!" For first sessioners, the dreaded Skidmore Sprinklers (there's two of them) often drenches entire sections of the quad, creating a nuisance for many people and annoying runs to save stray Frisbee from the shower of freaking cold water.<br />
<br />
==Carlisle==<br />
At [[Carlisle]], Poetry Night is held every Thursday during Meet Market. There is almost always a game going on in KW field whether its frisbee, football, or just plain catch. Couples often sit or lay down together on KW field as well. The Upper Quad is always filled with ravers, usually being taught by the Mad Monarch (session 1) / Rave King (session 2). In 17.1, DRL Jack Krentz brought a huge speaker to many Meet Markets which was used to play a mix of Canon and Disney tunes. Ten minutes before the end of Meet Market, the RAs gather to yell, "Malcolm Men, go home!" since the Malcolm building is farther away. At the end, they gather to yell just "Go home!" Meet Market primarily takes place in Upper Quad, Lower Quad, and under the Super Quad Arch. It is common for students to 'take a lap' around the Kline-end of Super Quad if they are heard saying questionable language during Meet Market.<br />
<br />
==Baltimore==<br />
At [[Baltimore]], Quad time is mainly made up of small groups of people talking outside, throwing frisbees or footballs (especially in circles), hanging out inside the dorms, playing cards, and playing other games. Occasionally, impromptu dances are held with the full speaker system and DJ computers and software from the dances. In the last two years, however, it's gotten stricter and everyone has to stay in the same part of the Gentle Slope (up the front near AMR 1) and anyone going more than 20 metres away would be sought out by RA's and dragged back. You weren't allowed to go back to your dorm unless you went back as an entire group. <br />

<div>[[Documentator]] is a [[Lancaster]] [[student position]] at both sessions. The Documentator is responsible for documenting the session as much as they can to preserve the memories. It was created at session 2 in 2007 by [[User:Memoriesonfilm|Max Wang]] and brought to session 1 in 2014 by [[User:AnimaniacsCTY|Kenjiro Lee]].<br />
<br />
==Duties and Description==<br />
<br />
Among other things, a Documentator should document things on film and tape, preferably digitally. Important tasks include filming ''[[Rocky Horror]]'' (and taking rehearsal pictures to enable focusing on video during the performance, or vice versa) and at least one [[American Pie]]; documenting [[Canon]], dances, and the [[Afterdance]] as best as possible; documenting [[Acting Improv|AI]], possibly filming the first Park Bench and the last World's Worst or Sphinx; documenting the Passing of the Duck and the Last Supper, as well as Passionfruit; and otherwise being outspoken with one's camera.<br />
<br />
Historically, Lancaster admin has been very edgy about this level of documentation, going to extremes to prevent legal issues that do not actually exist due to the existence of copyright law and the limitations of privacy law. To this extent, the Documentator has been variably singled out for a rule to ban picture-taking or has had memory cards wiped (rather illegally) by the admin.<br />
<br />
The Session Two Documentator position is more of a duty or responsibility than many other positions, which are intended to be privileges of sorts rather than duties (at Session Two). That said, the title of Documentator goes to whoever performs the Documentator's task rather than to the person who is knighted or to whom the title is passed. If nobody performs the duty, the Documentator's role will likely go unfilled. In 2013, the position was split up between two people for the time being. <br />
<br />
The Session One Documentator artifact is a camera strap. Every Documentator adds a strip of duct tape to this strap. Starting in 18.1 a blue fedora is also passed down. It is a loose requirement that Documentator be passed to a twomore to minimize the stress and responsibility of nomore year, but this is not binding. One exception to this occurred in 15.1, when nevermore [[User:Playerfucko|Asher Orner]] passed the position to squirrel [[User:Brick|Oliver "Brick" Reinhardt]]. Some Documentators have assistants who help to take and upload film, most notably Annie Gleiberman at Session One. Documentator is passed by knighting the successor with a tripod. The Documentators then take a selfie.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
The position of Documentator was created by [[User:Memoriesonfilm|Max Wang]] during Session 2 of 2007. Since 05.2, Max had captured Session 2 CTY memories with his trusty camera. By 07.2, Max had amassed an arsenal of many memory cards, batteries, a camcorder, and a tripod. He also was forced to sign an [[Hall of Fame:LAN#All-Site Photo Consent Form|all-site consent form]] to continue his documentation of CTY memories.<br />
<br />
Max, however, did not want to continue this task into his nomore year. While he loved everything he did for the visual capture of CTY memories, carrying around such bulky camera equipment hindered participation in CTY. Thus, after his Passionfruit speech, Max called up willing successors. He knighted [[User:dtree1992|Daniel Tracht]], the new Documentator, with his umbrella.<br />
<br />
The Documentator position was carried over to Session 1 in 2014. The role had been largely filled in the past, but was not made official until Kenjiro Lee knighted [[User:playerfucko|Asher Orner]] at Passionfruit with his tripod. In Kenjiro and Asher's case the position was passed at Passionfruit as it was their final day at CTY, but all further cases have been done at the Last Supper.<br />

<div>''[[Starcrash]]'' is a terrible sci-fi movie starring Christopher Plummer and David Hasselhoff (before his Baywatch fame). It is pretty much some Italian guy's ripoff of Star Wars involving a chick in a bikini, a white dude with big hair, a redneck-sounding robot, and post-Sound of Music Christopher Plummer, as stated above. He must have really needed the money.<br />
<br />
Can also be described as (quoted), "In the late '70s, an Italian director attempted to capitalize of the success of Star Wars by creating a space movie with David Hasselhoff. The result? ''STARCRASH''!"<br />
<br />
:<big>IMPERIAL BATTLESHIP. . . HALT THE FLOW OF TIME!</big><br />
<br />
<br />
'''Starcrash drinking game'''<br />
<br />
Since at least LAN 13.1, there has been a Starcrash SKL Drinking Game. However, it's been rather hidden and not a widespread practice. Fortunately, as of LAN 18.1, these rules have been expanded and improved and are now available to the public as follows:<br />
<br />
Drink when...<br />
# There is a repeated clip (one for each occurrence, not for each clip)<br />
# A low-budget explosion occurs (one that covers the whole screen)<br />
# Akton smiles for something not worth smiling at<br />
# ''Any'' character laughs at something not worth laughing at<br />
# A character should have died but doesn't (drink when they are confirmed alive/revived) (e.g. The Count's ultimate weapon, etc.)<br />
# Akton reveals a new power or ability<br />
# Stella Star appears in an outfit that is different from the last scene<br />
# The laws of science are ignored (e.g. ignoring the vacuum of space)<br />
# A character makes a statement that is immediately contradicted by what appears on screen (drink when contradiction occurs)<br />
# A character moves due to stop-motion (drink once per character, resets if the character goes off-camera)<br />
# The Emperor blinks<br />
# A character changes sides (between helping and challenging the protagonists)<br />
# The audience applauds (frequency and reasoning may vary per session)<br />
# '''Chug''' for the '''entire time''' the Emperor says "Imperial Battleship... halt the flow of time!" <br />
<br />
The recommended amount of SKL to bring to beat the Starcrash Drinking Game is anywhere from 1 1/2 to 2 cartons of SKL. Repeated clips (rule #1) are most common, and there are two scenes that are almost completely made up of repeated clips. If you have trouble making it through the first instance (about halfway through the movie), then you should stop playing or else you are at risk of vomiting from SKL overdose from the scene dubbed "The Gauntlet," which is towards the end of the movie. Only you, the participant, are responsible for the stomach pains, cramps, or vomit that may result from participating in the Starcrash Drinking Game. Drink responsibly. I promise you won’t get diabetes. Maybe.<br />
<br />
<br />
The ''Starcrash'' experience was fantastically heightened by the sarcastic comments of longtime [[Carlisle]] staffer [[Bret Kramer]], who inevitably turned up for the showing. However, after Bret left Carlisle in 2010, the new director Lesa did a fine job with the commentary. RA Sim did the commentary in '17 and 18.1. Starting in 18.2, the commentary has been taken over by RA Gaynor. The general love of ''Starcrash'' has allegedly spawned 'Terrible Movie Tuesday', wherein a different, horrendous example of cinematic excrement is shown every Tuesday (such as ''Manos: The Hands of Fate'' or ''Sinbad of the Seven Seas''). It is unknown whether this will continue in the future. <br />
<br />
The Starcrash-esque quotes become long-running jokes among CTYers. Known for its amazing special effects (e.g., the take-off scene with only the three ships), its witty dialogue ("You're the best human-like friend I've ever had..."), and the process of the female lead becoming more and more scantily clad throughout the course of the movie, ''Starcrash'' is so beloved by its audiences.<br />
<br />
But viewers beware. The RAs are everywhere, and they don't appreciate the use of the theater as a make-out session. They just don't. So don't try it. They might throw a Whopper at you (allegedly RA Matt 06.2).<br />
* Edit: RAs, as of 10.2, have become fairly relaxed in the stopping of this behavior. If couples were being overtly passionate, they would merely be advised to 'stop fschnargling' by most RAs. Some RAs also enjoy staring contests with the 'fschnarglers' which can become quite amusing. It has also become a fairly common practice for kissing to occur immediately after the 'imperial battleship' line.<br />
<br />
During one of the heated scenes of the movie at CAR.10.2, one student who will remain nameless started the viral song "Sexual Harassment Panda," which resulted in the entire audience screaming the lyrics, much to Megan and the SRAs (Lauren and Mike's... well, more Lauren's) dismay. This performance resulted in the ban of the song from campus by Lauren, announced to the Couple's Couch members at the following meet market.<br />
<br />
If there is extra time left after the movie ends, there is a David Hasselhoff sing-a-long, where around 40-50 campers and RAs flood to the floor of ATS to dance, lip sync, do conga lines, and have fun! In 16.1 and 17.1, "Hooked on a Feeling" and "Jump in my Car" were played consecutively.<br />
<br />
In 11.1, the 7th place hall in House Wars was allowed to also comment on the movie during the activity, with Mina doing most of the commenting. <br />
<br />
Starcrash was shown during an activity at LAN.10.1, brought to LAN by former Carlislian and long-time Lancaster RA Shae Fitzgerald, to the amusement of all in attendance.<br />
<br />
*Quote<br />
Ryan: You mention plotholes, as in holes in the plot... What plot?<br />
<br />
Shae: You mean you didn't notice how intricately woven the plot was?<br />
<br />
An almost identical event to the one at LAN 10.1 occurred at LAN 10.2. It has since become a traditional event, usually as a double block activity on last Tuesday, which over 200 people attend.<br />

The recommended amount of SKL to bring to beat the Starcrash Drinking Game is anywhere from 1 1/2 to 2 cartons of SKL. Repeated clips (rule #1) are most common, and there are two scenes that are almost completely made up of repeated clips. If you have trouble making it through the first instance (about halfway through the movie), then you should stop playing or else you are at risk of vomiting from SKL overdose from the scene dubbed "The Gauntlet," which is towards the end of the movie. Only you, the participant, are responsible for the stomach pains, cramps, or vomit that may result from participating in the Starcrash Drinking Game. Drink responsibly. I promise you won’t get diabetes. Maybe.<br />

The ''Starcrash'' experience was fantastically heightened by the sarcastic comments of longtime [[Carlisle]] staffer [[Bret Kramer]], who inevitably turned up for the showing. However, after Bret left Carlisle in 2010, the new director Lesa did a fine job with the commentary. RA Sim did the commentary in '17 and 18.1. Starting in 18.2, the commentary has been taken over by RA Gaynor. The general love of ''Starcrash'' has allegedly spawned 'Terrible Movie Tuesday', wherein a different, horrendous example of cinematic excrement is shown every Tuesday (such as ''Manos: The Hands of Fate'' or ''Sinbad of the Seven Seas''). It is unknown whether this will continue in the future. <br />
<br />
The Starcrash-esque quotes become long-running jokes among CTYers. Known for its amazing special effects (e.g., the take-off scene with only the three ships), its witty dialogue ("You're the best human-like friend I've ever had..."), and the process of the female lead becoming more and more scantily clad throughout the course of the movie, ''Starcrash'' is so beloved by its audiences.<br />
<br />
But viewers beware. The RAs are everywhere, and they don't appreciate the use of the theater as a make-out session. They just don't. So don't try it. They might throw a Whopper at you (allegedly RA Matt 06.2).<br />
* Edit: RAs, as of 10.2, have become fairly relaxed in the stopping of this behavior. If couples were being overtly passionate, they would merely be advised to 'stop fschnargling' by most RAs. Some RAs also enjoy staring contests with the 'fschnarglers' which can become quite amusing. It has also become a fairly common practice for kissing to occur immediately after the 'imperial battleship' line.<br />
<br />
During one of the heated scenes of the movie at CAR.10.2, one student who will remain nameless started the viral song "Sexual Harassment Panda," which resulted in the entire audience screaming the lyrics, much to Megan and the SRAs (Lauren and Mike's... well, more Lauren's) dismay. This performance resulted in the ban of the song from campus by Lauren, announced to the Couple's Couch members at the following meet market.<br />
<br />
If there is extra time left after the movie ends, there is a David Hasselhoff sing-a-long, where around 40-50 campers and RAs flood to the floor of ATS to dance, lip sync, do conga lines, and have fun! In 16.1 and 17.1, "Hooked on a Feeling" and "Jump in my Car" were played consecutively.<br />
<br />
In 11.1, the 7th place hall in House Wars was allowed to also comment on the movie during the activity, with Mina doing most of the commenting. <br />
<br />
Starcrash was shown during an activity at LAN.10.1, brought to LAN by former Carlislian and long-time Lancaster RA Shae Fitzgerald, to the amusement of all in attendance.<br />
<br />
*Quote<br />
Ryan: You mention plotholes, as in holes in the plot... What plot?<br />
<br />
Shae: You mean you didn't notice how intricately woven the plot was?<br />
<br />
An almost identical event to the one at LAN 10.1 occurred at LAN 10.2. It has since become a traditional event, usually as a double block activity on last Tuesday, which over 200 people attend.<br />

<div>''[[Starcrash]]'' is a terrible sci-fi movie starring Christopher Plummer and David Hasselhoff (before his Baywatch fame). It is pretty much some Italian guy's ripoff of Star Wars involving a chick in a bikini, a white dude with big hair, a redneck-sounding robot, and post-Sound of Music Christopher Plummer, as stated above. He must have really needed the money.<br />
<br />
Can also be described as (quoted), "In the late '70s, an Italian director attempted to capitalize of the success of Star Wars by creating a space movie with David Hasselhoff. The result? ''STARCRASH''!"<br />

''[[Starcrash drinking game]]''<br />
Since at least LAN 13.1, there has been a Starcrash SKL Drinking Game. However, it's been rather hidden and not a widespread practice. Fortunately, as of LAN 18.1, these rules have been expanded and improved and are now available to the public as follows:<br />
<br />
Drink when...<br />
# There is a repeated clip (one for each occurrence, not for each clip)<br />
# A low-budget explosion occurs (one that covers the whole screen)<br />
# Akton smiles for something not worth smiling at<br />
# ''Any'' character laughs at something not worth laughing at<br />
# A character should have died but doesn't (drink when they are confirmed alive/revived) (e.g. The Count's ultimate weapon, etc.)<br />
# Akton reveals a new power or ability<br />
# Stella Star appears in an outfit that is different from the last scene<br />
# The laws of science are ignored (e.g. ignoring the vacuum of space)<br />
# A character makes a statement that is immediately contradicted by what appears on screen (drink when contradiction occurs)<br />
# A character moves due to stop-motion (drink once per character, resets if the character goes off-camera)<br />
# The Emperor blinks<br />
# A character changes sides (between helping and challenging the protagonists)<br />
# The audience applauds (frequency and reasoning may vary per session)<br />
# '''Chug''' for the '''entire time''' the Emperor says "Imperial Battleship... halt the flow of time!" <br />
