Team Ender Has Tee Shirts and Cupcakes! (Was: Team_Ender has fallen; Join Team_Ender)

Yes folks, I am officially announcing the formation of Team_Ender!  We will shape the future of Star Wars fan editing and restoration through team collaboration.  However beyond the initial hazing process, which I assure you has lots of booze and brass knuckles involved, there are a few expectations:

1. You must abandon your original account.  No one is permitted to have more than one, so you must surrender your unique identity and join the hive mind.

2. You must not duplicate my distinctive style.  Many of you may not have noticed, but I am one of the few who clings to the antiquated method of double sentence spacing–that is, following a period, a press the space bar twice.  But since this reveals who I am, we must all abandon it.

3. You must never acknowledge that I am even involved in the team.  You must pretend that you haven’t seen me log in for months.

4. We need a cool shared password.  I refer you each to your luggage code for inspiration, like 1-2-3-4-5.

5. You must do the bulk of the work for our team, since I lack all fan editing talent

Now while this may seem like a demanding task, I assure you there are benefits:

1. Think how much faster things will get done.  Though only one of us will have purchased the expensive equipment necessary to perform our projects, it will certainly get done faster because, well…well, there are more people working on this because we’re a team, so it will definitely get done faster.  Hurrah!

2. All may be overly opinionated and share their opinions about everything as if they represented the whole team.  Always use the plural pronouns “we” and “us” and make sure that no matter how far apart we talk as if we always agree and are always in constant communication outside of this site, even if it’s not true.  But just think of the greater strength your opinions will have when you automatically have a whole team behind you!

3. If someone screws up and gets reprimanded, simply blame it on another member of the team, and make sure that “we will take care of that rogue.”  Of course we need not do anything because no one knows who’s posting.

4. The glory!

5. The comradery!

6. The excuse to technically break OT.com rules without repercussion because you are doing something glorious!

Once we have our team, then we can try to find something useful to do.

Remember,

for Team_Ender!

I'm in.  I offer to sacrifice my banned Ric Olie account for the cause.

Welcome brother.  I'll go get the booze and used tattoo needles ready.

^Love it!  You're in!  And because of that last post, the welcome beatings will be lightened for you!

Hey, we live in a world where Ric Olie has been banned and a team account led by a certified whack job is allowed to flourish.  If you don't want to be a part of team_ender, go pound sand, suck a lemon, and get off my lawn.

6. You must believe that forum rules are really important and worth getting upset about.

We're afraid that a good sense of humor is required to be a member, even if not mentioned in the initial rules.  Therefore you have been

 Lol, fixed again.  We will have to get used to this.

Excellent form.  You learn quickly, my young apprentice.

 Oops.

We are the Team_Ender.  You will be assimilated.   We will add your uniqueness to our own.  Resistance is futile.   

We created a new meme just for this thread.

 As you can see by the timestamps, great minds think alike. We are truly a hive mind now. All our opinions are one.

Can we join too?  We think you value our input, as we are the mysterious and highly sought after demosthenes, and we would love to voice our opinions as one.

 We like the meme.

 We don't know if we have enough booze to let you in, but we like you, so we welcome us to the Team!

All Our Base Belong To Us.

 this phrase is not allowed here.   It back bad memories to us of a very bad troll that is best left forgotten.

 We have plenty of booze.  But it's only for us.

I submit myself to the teachings of team_ender! Take my body -- it is ready!
