Lorekeeper

A Lancaster position created in 05.2.

History

(LAN): The position of Lore Keeper, Wearer of the Duct Tape Bathrobe, and Keeper of 42 was created during 05.2 by Pojerv, a minus-one-more who was worried about the general decline in insanity about the Lancaster site. He decided to document and hopefully maintain the general insanity of CTYers at Lancaster. The book he wrote, the Nomore-Nomicon, along with the Duct Tape bathrobe, a roll of DANGER tape, and the book on the Rule of Fives, was left in the middle of Hartman Green before passionfruit 05.2. As per instructions on the box, the position was given to the one-more carrying a towel and/or wearing a bathrobe that wished to become the Keeper and won the Rock Paper Scissors Spock Lizard competition. This person was Emily Ehrenberger. She thus become the frist non-anonymous (nonymous) Keeper.

She took the box home, read through the book, attempted to read the Rule of Fives and failed, and added her five sections to the book (mostly during Passionfruit the next year). She dutifully wore the bathrobe each Thursday at CTY LAN.06.2 and passed on the box and robe in the same manner as was given unto her. Kendall is now the lore keeper.

Sections

5 sections are to be added by each successive Keeper, starting section 0.0. Current sections include [please resive], in no order:
Creation of the Book
Phone Flipping
Rule of Fives
The Game
Quotes from 06.2
Frank Wang
AI Jokes from 06.2
Dances (American Pie, Upper Canon, Lower Canon, Common Songs, and Afterdance)
Biographies (?)

The List

One day in the middle of 06.2, the Assistant/Secretary [friend] to the First Nonymous Keeper suddenly got a brilliant idea (mostly because she wanted to be included in the Lore tradition). Every five years, the current Keeper would email the Book out to all current and previous the Alcovians (and whoever else) so they could observe the goings on and goings wrong at CTY Lancaster. So the Assistant/Secretary and the Lore Keeper went to the Master of Alcove T-shirts and presented the idea. The T-shirt master agreed and the List was born (though it was not actually delivered until after Passionfruit). It is theirs and various others fervent hope that this idea does not die by the fifth year and that any Keepers, current and previous contribute to the Book and the List.

Rock Paper Scissors Spock Lizard

Rock Paper Scissors Spock Lizard (RPSSL) is played exactly the same as Rock, Paper, Scissors, except with two more maneuvers. Also instead of saying "Rock, Paper, Scissors, Shoot!" one must say "Rock, Paper, Scissors, Spock, Lizard, Shoot!", counting five beats instead of three.
The Spock sign is made in the traditional way: index and middle finger together, a gap and then ring and pinkie finger together, with thumb separate.
The lizard sign is made by shaping one's hand into a mouth, with one's thumb below one's four fingers.

Rules are as follows:
Rock: Rock smashes Scissors and crushes Lizard.
Paper: Paper covers Rock and disproves Spock.
Scissors: Scissors cut Paper and disembowel Lizard.
Spock: Spock disintegrates rock and disintegrates scissors. .
Lizard: Lizard eats Paper and poisons Spock.
