SNOT:WWAD Maxesters Application Thread

Amy · #1 09-19-2008, 05:55 AM

** NOTE **

This application thread is ONLY for prospective students with 200 or MORE posts.
If you have fewer than 200 posts, you are directed to the Bachelor of Axe Application Thread.
If you wish to apply for the Bachelor of Axe class and the thread is closed, please wait for it to reopen instead of applying here.

Prospective Students post interest here!

All that is required to become a student is a willingness to be critiqued in your exam responses. Exams test a variety of useful DnDOG and PbP skills, and a Student has the right to respond to any and all feedback.

A list of exams will be offered and the Student can select one or more to work on. Once completed, the Student will be critiqued by AxeMan and possibly a Faculty member.

There is no fixed timeline for completion of exams or completion of full course. At this time, a number of completed exams representing graduation has not been determined. This may vary per Student.

Vort Edit: Be forewarnedThe school is run completely by chickens on a volunteer basis. We aim for patience with our students, allowing them to work at their own pace (even over long periods of time), so we ask you have patience with our TAs. Please do not expect instantaneous response times or a quick running-through-the-halls graduation.

As with good food: quality takes time.

JayRob Edit: Applying For Enrollment
Prospective students must now fill out an application form. We use the application to gauge your level of commitment to the task. It's not only what you say, but how you say it. Okay and what you say. Our TAs put in a lot of effort, and we expect the students to as well.

The application follows:

New Student Application
User Name:
Gender:
Race:
Class:
Alignment:

Who are you, and why are you here?

What makes you different from every other person that you know?

Please respond to one of the following questions, convincingly, in 250 words or less.

Application Finale
1. Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds?

2. Why are there flotation devices under plane seats instead of parachutes?

3. Why do they put Braille dots on the keypad of the drive-up ATM?

4. If nothing ever sticks to TEFLON, how do they make TEFLON stick to the pan?

5.Why is it that when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it's called cargo?

6. What is the 'pompatus of love', and what is it's practical application?

7. How is one to be kept down on the farm after seeing Paris?

8. What was the best thing before sliced bread?

9. If I have the nicest car in the world, let's say a Jaguar... and this Jaguar will never start, would it do me any good to spend thousands of dollars on new leather upholstery in the car? Is that going to make matters any better?

10. Why do they sterilize the needles for lethal injections?

Good luck! Hopefully, we'll see you in the hallowed halls of SNOT:WWAD! Please post your application publicly.

Process:After request to become a student (which must be approved - sorry, school rules), I'll make a thread and we'll start exam-ing. This is a trial by error. When you can snatch the pebbles from my hand, you are a graduate.

The time limit is open - there is no end date on assignments or graduation.

The grades are pass-fail. You can re-take any portion you like.

The only question: Public or Private Thread?

There will be several Faculty positions, and TA's in the future (after our first graduating class, I think). I would love for ARG to be on-board, but would hesitate to even ask based on his schedule.

Sed in class? Ridiculous. But I accept the challenge anyway.

T` in class? Let's find out what this 2e fella knows about PbP.

**Admin Toad`** · #5 09-19-2008, 10:43 AM

ARGH! Yah be thinkin' the thoughts of a scurvy ridden ship rat! Men of the best versions o' the fine game, which shall remain unnamed by yours truly, be the best at the trade of PbP. Yer challenge is accepted and defeated before me be startin' to understand the particulars.

Amy · #6 09-19-2008, 10:48 AM

You are talking to an Original D&D Player, T`. AxeMan learned from Gary Gygax's cousin, Phil.

I'd like to submit an application

The question is a bit difficult. I wasn't given ANY study materials over it, and I wasn't informed that I would be quizzed...

Still, I suppose that I'll answer "Public." I've got a 50/50 chance.

Classroom assigned!

Chronicler · #8 09-19-2008, 10:08 PM

I'll submit an application as well.

Public.

**Admin Chuck** · #10 09-22-2008, 02:24 PM

I humbly request to learn before the master in an attempt to better myself.

Public or Private?

Surprise me, if you'll have me.

Amy · #11 09-22-2008, 02:45 PM

Yer' in.

The Ellimist · #12 09-26-2008, 02:21 AM

Hmm.... Well it seems like the tuition is cheaper then my college's, so I'm game for some continued education. Are there any scholarships available? Us poor, starving college kids need all the cheap (yet quality) education we can get!

I'll brave it out and take a public thread if you'll have me.

Amy · #13 09-26-2008, 07:48 AM

Yer' in. Check for your thread in the Classrooms folder.

Thanks

Dinkleberg · #14 10-01-2008, 02:42 PM

I have no idea what this is but if it's got Axeman it's going to be hilarious

I'm in.

P.S. Public thread, please. I want everyone to be able to see me fail

Classroom assigned!

Amy · #15 10-03-2008, 10:35 AM

You are in.

If we get any more, I may have to hire more staff, enlarge the campus, charge more some.

Taxpayers pay for it in the end...
