WARP
,no edit summary
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 holds one meeting, at the beginning of the year, and thereafter organizes 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 coordinates a variety of similar activities. Among them are [[bopswording]], Laser Tag, board games, card games, and whatever else comes to mind.
The WARP listserver, in addition to serving as the coordination tool of the club, also serves the valuable purpose of a spam conduit, down which people send links to strange news articles, online games, and other [[How to procrastinateprocrastinating|procrastination]] aids. The listserver is also a good place to settle important fantasy-battle questions, like "who would win in a fight: a cave troll, or a pack of velociraptors?" Finally, the WARP listserver is an excellent place to observe WARP crust in action, since many WARP members never leave the listserver even after graduation.
Traditionally WARP has two "real" officer positions: the Figurehead (president) and the Shady Grand Vizier (treasurer). The current (05-06) Figurehead is [[Amanda R. Van Rhyn '06]], and the current Grand Vizier is [[Jake F. Manley '07]]. In practice, WARP has a long hierarchy of ever-fluctuating ceremonial titles, the most enduring of which is the [[Not-Pope]].
