Our Chapter is called: Chapter 3: Wherein our Hero founds a new Chapter named: Chapter 3: Wherein our Hero founds a new Chapter named: Chapter 3 /snip
also know as: The Self-Referring Recursive Chapter. (TSRRC)
Our "clubhouse" is in the (hidden) backroom of a bakery, not far from the central TimeWaiters restaurant.
Our local rituals are:
- We deny our existence and also we deny our non-existence.
- We replace "and" by "and also"
- We meet at breakfast (which can be any time of day, since it's always a good time for a breakfast)
- We drink Tea (although Coffee is also allowed)
- We wait for it
Our ranks are:
- NewGrain
- SandGrain
- HigherGrain
- Chief of Grains
Our logo is:
Under construction. Concepts already exist.
To become a NewGrain, you first have to proclaim you are a Sandmason, then later deny this. After the denial you are initiated.
Anyone of a higher rank can give you a rank-upgrade as high as his/her own rank.
Any initiate may and also may not refer to him/herself as a "Sandmason" or "Son/Daughter of a Beach".

orthogon wrote:Re the bibel/babel: surely the One True Comic represents the revelation itself, and what is proposed is to present this alongside our mortal and imperfect commentary (exegesis?) on it. So it's more akin to the Talmud of a certain Outsider religion, and should therefore be entitled the Timelud or something.

And we also have the Babel as suggested earlier. This name does imply that it is just babbling about time which is kind of appropriate but may not be to everyone's liking. I'd say take it to a vote but I don't see an obvious way to set up a vote on a forum like this. Could link to an external vote site I guess.
