GROUP IS DEFUNCT/CLOSED Page is left intact for personal reasons.
Definition
A rōnin(浪人) was a samurai with no lord or master during the feudal period (1185–1868) of Japan. A samurai became masterless from the ruin or fall of his master, or after the loss of his master's favor or privilege.
The purpose of this group is to provide a support network for, what Mia Linden lovingly called, "Rogue mentors". Our job is just what it has always been, to be helpful and supportive of those who wish to have our special brand of help in game. There are no requirements to join the group, only that you be helpful, respectful, and have cheese toast.
Charter
Our charter from our group info:
A ronin (浪人) was a samurai with no lord or master during the feudal period (1185-1868) of Japan. We are a small group of friendly long term Residents who enjoy meeting, helping and mentoring new Residents. Our Pledge: * We will help anyone to the best of our knowledge and ability. * We will always be eager to learn new things. * We will be polite, courteous and patient in all endeavors. * We will seek no reward for our effort. * We will be funny and playful. * We will have cheesy toast.
Some Other Things Go Here
blah blah blah, add text here later... Have I mentioned that having A.D.D. is a plus in this group? You get extra special bonus points for whatever I was talking about. WHO ARE ALL YOU PEOPLE!?!?
Guidelines
Be a happy person! snarkyness is allowed as long as it's in good fun and feelings are not hurt
group chat participation requires cheesy foodstuff commitment
we have two real true blue honest GOALS, be happy and be helpful. That's it, those are the rules. If you cannot laugh at yourself, blah blah etc etc.
The reason for the group is to have other happy helpful people that you can ask questions of, cry on shoulders of, vent in case of cheese spoilage, and anything else you'd like to have.
we're a democracy. not a republic.
Cheese Toast
Cheese toast is simply a slice of bread, (wheat in my preference or potato) with a piece or pieces of cheese (cheddar or if you're in a rush, a slice of "American Processed Cheese Food" will suffice. However, "cheezwiz" does not count as cheese, ever.) placed in a toaster oven or other heating "thing" (microwaves do not count) until the cheese is melted in a nice and savory fashion. (drool)
Why all the cheese toast references? Because it's fun, and being in Second Life should be fun. As the ski instructor says from the Asspen episode of South Park, "If you're not going to have fun, you're going to have a bad time."
