Perhaps JIHAD is too strong in reference to TQR or whoever, perhaps we should instead declare Shenanigans...

ROFLMAO. This was just too funny. Thanks all for the great laugh today!!!
Drama is overrated, which is why I love Test, Nobody takes themselves too seriously. Guilds are like golf...if you take it too seriously, you are going to ruin your fun. Also, if you can't laugh at yourself, you are just going to miserable in SC or playing golf....
Like the time we were playing starfarer takeover...got out there, tried to look at my weapon settings for guard duty (someone had already stolen one of the beer-farers and we wanted to discourage further thefts of our playgrounds), and I ended up crashing into one of the 'farers. Just glad I didn't kill them all, but man, what I would give for a video of that moment. Classic Test crash. I am glad to be in an org where everyone had a good laugh over that moment, rather than getting all upset and pissed off.

Or we could have a Shenanigan jihad rather than holy jihad. Works for me.
Seriously, what's "seriously"? I seriously need to know. Totes.
That's my best high school kid impression. I think I pulled it off. Ha.
In all seriousness though, we seriously don't know how to take ourselves seriously. it's awesome.

I have a long story about tolerance and understanding. It's completely irrelevant to this thread.
Anyways that's the story about how I learned to use more spice on my butter chicken.
I had a group of friends in university that spoke in some Pakistanis language a lot.
I kept hearing "Jihad" when these two brothers spoke.
Got a bit spooked.
Taped their conversation one day while we were in the library. I sat a desk away from them.
Ran it through translator Jim the old drunk guy from Bangladesh over the weekend.
Here is his version of what was said.
I shall label the characters TEST and BEST.
TEST ".... too serious. Jihad is an extreme measure."
BEST "You must declare a Jihad brother."
T "It is extreme brother."
B "But you must or you will fail our family. "
T "Okay. Enough! I shall declare Jihad."
B "Speak the words to God."
T "I Declare Jihad on my homework! I will finish every last paper, read every book and take home an A! I swear to God and Mohamud I will graduate Geology at the top of the class!"
B "I witness your Jihad! A Jihad on homework! A Jihad against partying!"
TEST "I never said anything about not partying!"
B "Beer is making you fat...."
Several minutes pass. They both slam several extra large coffees...
T "We should study ammonite formation and Continental Rifting! Also there's a paper due on Monday in regards to Geomorphology of The Saskatchewan River Valley in the last Ice Age. I declare Jihad that I will finish all my homework before going to the bar!"
B "A Jihad on homework! Also later today remind me to feed the horses and take the dog for a walk. I declare Jihad that I will take care of the farm animals!"
T "Shall we invite @CrudeSasquatch to our study Jihad? He looks lonely over there. "
B "He is not a good study partner and will try to get us to go get drunk. My mother says he makes weak butter ball chicken which lacks depth of flavour and does not use enough spices, and he looks like a goat mated a bear."
T "You are an unkind friend. He always pays for the beer! And takes us rafting. We should invite him to our Homework Jihad!"
B "He is hopeless brother. You should study more and stop hanging out with that woodland creature. "
T "Do you notice Sasquatch seems nervous?"
B "Why would he be nervous?"
T "I have been yelling 'Jihad' and we're speaking in Pashtu about him. We have become stereotypes."
B "Father said we should practice the home language while studying so that if our family is ever allowed home to help spread democracy they will be swayed by our perfect inflection of the regional dialect, and join our Democracy Jihad!"
T "I declare Jihad on being a stereotype! I declare we shall bring Democracy Jihad to Pakistan!"
Several minutes pass in silence...
B "I figured out how to differentiate paleozoic mitochondrial plankton genus by number of flagulates! Allah Akbar!"
This is when I flipped the table and dove out the emergency exit.

I was not expecting that, at least not that fast :grin::popcorn:
Another TQR member just joined us . . .
Heh, I haven't seen that show in ages. Good times
I kept reading the thread hoping for a good tl;dr of everything - kept reading.
Eventually came to this:

Made it all worth it.
@CrudeSasquatch does have a way with words. Haha.
