From the Great and Accurate Constitution of SUTEKH, made in the Year of Our Lord, 1976:
Contents |
"Sutekhers of advanced and wizened age (henceforth to be known as Great Old Ones by the ratification of the treaty of Brennan, 2004) are allowed to select n00btenants from amongst first-time members.
These n00btenants are to act as proxies for their master in any and all disagreements between older Sutekhers. These disagreements shall be settled in the oldest and most repsected of traditions, the cage match."
n00btenants are a prestige class of n00bs, reknowned for their ferocity and unquestioning loyalty to their Great Old One.
Sometimes, a Great Old One will look at a batch of n00bs, and see a kindred spirit - someone with similar interests, personalities, etc. Of course, because they are a n00b, they have not reached their full awesome level yet. But that's okay, no one expects you to be completely awesome when you start uni.
What happens then is that the Great Old One will claim this n00b as their n00btenant, probably by going "You! With the shirt! What's you're name? Okay, you belong to me now."
Uh, no. We're not going to haze you. That shit is for chumps.
A n00b is not just for O-Week, but for life. Sometimes, Great Old Ones get bored of their n00btenants, and stop giving them guidance. This is a jerk thing to do. Don't do it.
Make them awesome. Expose them to new interests that they might like. Maybe give them a makeover. Teach them how to drink. Stuff like that.
Socialisation. We don't mean you should share your belongings with them. But take them to parties, have a quiet word with them when they say something dumb on the forums. Introduce them to good people. Let them crash at your house sometimes.
Listen to the advice your Great Old One gives you, and don't sass them too much. They've survived until Great Old Age. They know how things work.
Sometimes go to the bar for them. Don't worry, they won't make you pay for drinks. But they're old, and their bodies don't work so good anymore. Besides, if you go to the bar for them, they might give you money to buy a drink for yourself. Great Old Ones often have more money than you. Shit yeah.
Julia. Because she takes n00btenanting very seriously. Considering that two of her n00btenants are Percy and Finn, who love Sutekh and have dedicated years of faithful service to it, she knows what it takes to make a n00b awesome.
If she thinks you are not leading your n00btenant along the path of awesome, she may reassign them to a more righteous Great Old One.
