WARP
,no edit summary
''The unreality of games gives notice that reality is not yet real. Unconsciously, they rehearse the right life.'' - Theodor W. Adorno
WARP (the Williams Association of Role-Players) is a club dedicated to roleplaying and similar [[Odd quad | Odd Quad]]-type activities. The club is noted for its laissez-faire organization; traditionally WARP only held one meeting, at the beginning of the year, and thereafter organized through its [[listserver]] in smaller groups. (If it sounds fragmented and chaotic, that's because it is.) Although roleplaying is a primary focus of WARP, it has historically coordinated a variety of related activities. Among them are [[bopswording]], Laser Tag, board games, and card games. In the 2008-2009 year, WARP held free movie showings in Paresky on the weekends. Historically, WARP has organized outings to conventions including [[NonCon]] (circa 2008) and PAX East (in 2015 and 2016). WARP also runs [[Humans vs. Zombies]] during the fall semester and [[KAOS]] during Winter Study.
In recent years, WARP has gained a more structured organization, with the club hosting a meeting every Saturday night at 7:00pm. Anyone is welcome to join and play a variety of board games, with [[Avalon]] typically making an appearance in the 2023-2024 school year. The club owns a large volume of board games, which members can sign out for individual games when the club is not in session. Any who do not return the games they signed out will have to face the wrath of the Quartermaster (who has a sword).

WARP's Board for 2024-2025:
In the initial election, [[Maddie Nowbar]] and [[Cassie Aretsky]] were elected as the WARP Figureheads for the Fall and Spring Semesters respectively. According to Nowbar, this election was a "landslide." Shortly after their election, Nowbar abicated the Figureheadipality. Notably, Nowbar abdicated without Aretsky's agreement. This will not be relevant later. Due to a quirk of the WARP constitution stating that the group can only hold one election per year, the future of the Figureheadipality was decided by a simultaneous [[Jumbling Tower]] and Bananagrams game between [[Austin Osborn]] and [[Michael Faulkner]], which Osborne won. Osborne was then crowned as Figurehead.
The rest of the board, elected as normal, follows hence:
* [[Michael Faulkner]] (Shadowy Grand Vizier)
* [[Cassie Aretsky]]/[[Maddie Nowbar]] (Fili of the Bards)
* [[Madison Rozic]]/[[Izzy Weitzman]] "Two Swords" (Quartermaster)
* [[Madison Rozic]] (Pope)
* [[Jenna Shuffelton]] (Not-Pope)
* [[Cassie Aretsky]] (Anti-Not-Pope)
* [[Maddie Nowbar]] (Lee)
* [[Elena Sore]] (Leigh)
