Djyin:

'''Toby Fox''' was [[KGB]]'s [[2025 Officers|2026]] [[Booth]], made in collaboration with Roboclub. The [[Carnival]] theme was "Scotty's Playlist". Following last year's misadventures, SCC chose to leave this theme up to interpretation. Due to Hatsune Miku's famously limited availability for collaborations, we built our booth themed around Toby Fox, known composer and nothing else. Our chairs for this year were [[rsepinuc]], [[mihird]], [[esterkes]], [[jciecier]], [[rsohn]] who led us to win 3rd place in the Blitz category.

The booth featured murals all around from iconic Undertale and Deltarune locations, and we attempted to resurrect the ancient technology of having a roof that is not flat (which successfully repelled the storms from the Greater Pittsburgh area). The interior also featured locations from the video games, as well as a game room with many iconic props.

The game was controlled with a DDR pad and wall-mounted buttons, with the DDR pad being used to avoid attacks from enemies timed to music.

As apology for an incident in which SCC caused the loss of life of 40 individuals and the 3rd place trophy was held hostage, SCC deigned to bless the CMU KGB and Roboclub with the honor of one (1) pizza party.

Sharknado

2026-04-19T23:01:18Z

Djyin:

[[KGB]]'s [[2024 Officers|2025]] [[Booth]], made in collaboration with PRISM. The [[Carnival]] theme was "Hollywood". Turns out this just means specific movie themed booths, so our first choice idea of a movie set was promptly rejected. We instead went with one of modern cinema's greatest achievements: the Sharknado franchise. Our chairs for this year were [[jpwang2]], [[klhansen]], [[marinaw]], and [[eplin]], who led us to win 3rd place in the Blitz category.

The booth featured vibrant and chaotic murals depicting sharknado chaos across the globe, including in Pittsburgh. On top of the booth, there was a large shark head made of paper mache and a tornado made of chicken wire and plastic bags. Inside the booth was a long hallway with sharks swimming around and trash on the walls. At the turn, a visitor would then enter into a shark's mouth to play the game.

Thanks to the diligent research of [[ngaynor]], the booth included many plot points from all 6 Sharknado films. Most notably, a big space laser used to stop the sharknados in Sharknado 3.

The video game, made by [[eplin]] was about sharknados hitting the CMU campus. Using Wii remotes, this two player game saw players take up a gun or a chainsaw to fight their way across campus to activate a space laser controller in [[Hamerschlag]]. [[isaacw]] composed the music for the game, which was based on the Sharknado theme song, "The Ballad of Sharknado" which is featured in the opening credits of most Sharknado films.

Somehow, the computer and projector for the game were left unprotected in the booth, both of which were destroyed from the water damage on the first night of carnival. This led KGB to scramble for a new computer and projector before midway opened and the judges came.

Booth

2026-04-19T22:58:56Z

Djyin: /* History */

[[Booth]] is the process of constructing a wooden scaffolding for holding [[spackle]] and [[caulk]]. Organizations can Win Booth by having the most uniformly-spackled wooden structures on [[Midway]].

It is very important to ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING when spackling a booth. If you simply give a bucket of spackle to [[Creidieki]], and tell him "figure out what to do with this", you will not Win Booth. Particularly if he then enlists all of the freshmen.

Anyway, after you [[spackle]] something, you wait for it to dry, and then you sand over it, and then you paint it. Casual afterthought is then used to construct a [[roofs|roof]] and cover it in tar paper. Roof construction is oft-considered the best time of year to identify which KGB members are [[load bearing]].

All of this might be fun, if it didn't cost more than [[KGB]] has spent on anything else, ever. That small detail guarantees fun. Or you can just take wood out of the [[Dumpster Diving|dumpsters]]. That works too.

The Spellbook

2025-04-14T05:23:11Z

Djyin: /* SHUT THE FUCK UP LUKE */

In 2024, High Wizard [[Ngaynor]] implemented a magic system within GBMs. Below is the official, up to date(ish) text of the KGB Spellbook:

==Preface==
Herein lies the ancient magical secrets that may be used for great effect during the gatherings of those known as “KGB.” This knowledge carries with it a grave deal of responsibility. The power one may possess from this text can cause great benefit or detriment to those nearby.

==Conditions==
In order to cast the spells detailed herein, one must achieve the state of being “magical.” One may do so by fulfilling one of the following conditions:

One is magical if they currently have bronchitis.

One is magical if they have uranium on their person.

One is magical for one minute after their motion is passed.

One is magical for one minute after receiving a high five from the [[magic hand]] from someone who is not yourself

A motion can also become magical. A magical committee, once passed, can report at any point in the meeting and remain in order. A motion can become magical by fulfilling one of the following conditions:

A motion is magical if it receives no votes for any category. This motion is then tabled for one week.

A motion is magical if it receives unanimous approval from the general body present at the meeting besides the chair

The magic committee, chaired by the archmage, is also magical. The magic committee is responsible for the upkeep of the spellbook.

One is anti-magical if they are in possession of the anti-magical hand.

==Spells==
Upon becoming magical, one may then cast one of the following spells. This must be done after being called upon by the chair. In order to cast a spell, one must say “I cast ____,” where the blank space must be filled with the name of the spell. If the spell is to affect another person, one must say “I cast ____ on ____” where the first blank must be filled with the name of the spell, and the second is to be filled with the name that the spell is to affect. If you are holding the magic hand, you may cast two back-to-back spells. For one minute after someone in possession of the anti-magical hand accuses you of witchcraft, you must drop to 0 hit points upon the casting of a spell.

===Short Term Friendship===
Once cast, every person at the gathering must be really nice to you, and you are no longer lonely.

===Friend Destroyer===
Once cast upon someone who has cast Short Term Friendship, their friendships are thereon broken.

===Animal Companion===
Once cast, the chair must share an animal fact.

===Summon Squid Companion===
Once cast, the chair must share a fact about Splatoon.

===Super Salute===
Once cast upon a person, the general body must salute the target, after which the target loses 5 hit points.

===Neptune's Curse===
Once cast, the general body must speak as if they are underwater for 30 seconds. This spell may be ended early if a person was to fake their death through drowning.

===Pronoun Swap===
Once cast upon a person, the spellcaster and the target must swap pronouns.

===Invoke Mob Justice===
Once cast, the general body shall move into a vote. If the vote is successful, [[Djyin|Daniel Yin]] is then reduced to 0 hit points.

===Restore Tyrant===
Once cast, Daniel Yin returns to 100 hit points and is no longer dead.

===Laptop Destroyer===
Once cast upon a person, they must close their laptop for at least 5 seconds - the target may refuse if the laptop is currently working a critical process. If the target does not currently have a laptop out, they must either take their laptop out, open it, then close it, or close someone else’s laptop with that person’s consent

===Mage Hand===
Once cast, whoever currently has the magic hand must give it to you.

===CULINARY SABOTAGE===
Once cast upon an item of bowl food, that food then becomes inedible

===TL;DR===
Once cast upon a person, they must not say a sentence longer than 10 words or else they must fake their death. Upon death, the effects of the spell end

===HANDHELD GAMING===
Once cast, the two people currently in possession of the magical and anti-magical hand must play one round of rock-paper-scissors. The loser must relinquish their magical or anti-magical hand to someone else who is not in possession of one of these hands. The magical and anti-magical hands must not be in the same person’s possession once cast.

===NOMINATE A SCHEMING EUNUCH===
Once cast upon a person, they must go to the corner of shame (by the shoulder of Daniel Yin). This person must remain there until a vote has been passed. In the event of a tie vote, this person may decide the final call of the vote, instead of the chair. If this happens, they then get “assassinated” and must fake their death.

==Cantrips==
Cantrips behave similar to spells, although one does not need to be magical in order to cast a cantrip. One can only cast one cantrip per meeting. One may lie on the ground for 10 minutes to regenerate their ability to cast a cantrip.

===RESET===
Once cast during an auction, the current bid returns to $0. Once cast, one must pay $1 to the KGB

===SHUT THE FUCK UP LUKE===
Once cast, the general body must say “Shut the fuck up Luke,” and [[Luke Erbsen]] then loses 10 hit points

===CACTUS IS REALLY TASTY===
Once cast, the caster loses 5 hit points

===NOOO DON’T KILL YOURSELF YOU’RE SO SEXY===
Once cast upon a person who is repeatedly doing damage to themselves, they are immune from taking damage for one minute

The Thing

2025-04-14T05:14:58Z

Djyin:

The Thing is The Thing.

Currently, it is composed of a ring of pennies that have been fused together by some means that modern scientists are still trying to replicate. The Thing may or may not include a duct-tape loop that may (in desperate times) be used to affix it to one's neck. This is generally considered "inadvisable" and "gross."

Previous iterations of The Thing include [[Pfennig of Pfault|████████]] and [[Nickel of Fault|███████████]].

Upon receiving the thing the new holder must state what is not their fault, and accept fault for something, and everything else.

Pfennig of Pfault

2025-04-14T05:12:41Z

Djyin:

The holder of the [[Nickel of Fault]] (deprecated) or Pfennig of Pfault is given the dubious honor of being the fperson to blame for everything that goes wrong while that fperson has fpossession of said coin.

In the 89-91 fperiod, it was the "[[Nickel of Fault]]". At some fpoint since then, it has been renamed the "Pfennig of Pfault".

The Pfennig is not, in fact, a pfennig. (Capitalization matters, people!) For a while, an item that used to be a Zimbabwean bill representing a large number of Zimbabwe dollars, but due to restorative measures became over 90% [[duct tape]]. This was replaced by a 100 Czech crown note with some coin superglued to it, but that was soon lost, and replaced with a garlic-flavored condom that may or may not have been sold by KGB at the 2011 [[Useless Stuff Auction]]. More recently, several American pennies and a string of duct tape have combined forces to become a greater tool for assignment of fault.

The fperson invested with the coin may be granted an Exception. (As in, "everything is your fault ''except''...")

More recently it has become known as simply "[[The Thing]]". I think [[jgg|Jared]] has it this week.

Buy more tangerines

2025-04-14T04:53:54Z

Djyin: replaced link with archive link

Originally featured as the last line of an early rambling promotional [[KGB]] flier, "Why aren't you buying more tangerines?" has become an organizational catchphrase.

Also, the game Tangerine Panic (found at https://web.archive.org/web/20091221074034/http://tangerinepanic.com/) is full of awesome.

==The flier text==

Boogie until you puke, no wait, come to KGB Mondays at 4:30 PM in [[Breed Hall]] (Margaret Morrison 103). We love you. You'll love us. Give us money. You can be a [[General body members|member]] of the most gratuitously silly campus organization in existence. KGB is like Orange Juice. It's like everything you've ever known that's good for you. So, run and tell your mother that you'll be busy on Monday evening because you're going to join the KGB. No, we don't hate [[Boris Yeltsin]], honest, really. Bring as many friends as you have. Bring as much food as you have. Bring as much money as you have. Bring all of your clothing and as much canned yams as you can buy on short notice. No shoes, no shirt, no service. The other day, Mike Murphy said to me, "Hey, you know I might join the KGB." I didn't believe him, and you probably shouldn't believe me. Rampant consumerism is destroying the American work ethic, but you can still join the KGB. Polyester leisure suits are still out of style, but everyone cool is still a member of KGB. KGB, KGB, KGB. Why aren't you out buying more TANGERINES?!!?!?!??!

Mafia Night

2025-04-14T04:47:04Z

Djyin: /* See Also */

'''Mafia Night''' is an [[:category:events|event]] where [[KGB]] goes to [[Buca di Beppo]] for [[Family-style|family-style]] italian food.

In Spring of 2007, we ate in the [[Pope Room]], a circular room with weird acoustics and a sculpture of the [[Pope|Pope's]] head in a plexiglass case on a lazy susan in the center of the table.

Unfortunately, the attendance is often too high to get the Pope Room.

Buca di Beppo's coffers were liberated by the [[KGBank Heist Committee]] in August 2024, who could not have foreseen the closure of both Pittsburgh locations of Buca. Mafia Night can no longer occur.

Bowl Food

2025-02-04T16:33:40Z

Djyin: made bowl food

'''Bowl Food''' is a field of active research on what foods qualify as '''Bowl Food'''.

Bowl Food should never be mentioned, thought about, or eaten, lest ye be taken by the depths.

Several theories of bowl-food-ness have been proposed, several of which do not include bowls. Discussions of bowl food inevitably spawn further highly productive conversations, including "is açai poke" and "what is the difference between noodles and soup and soup noodles and noodle soup" (which is important as soup cannot be bowl food{{Citation needed}}).

[[Djyin]] is not allowed to provide comment to the [[Bowl Food Research Committee]] despite extensive knowledge of what constitutes bowl food.
