Defectors

Rlambert:

Whenever a [[KGB]] member leaves the organization, whether it be for greener pastures, a paying job, or simply because they've reached [[escape velocity]], they have turned their back on their [[KGB|people]] and become defectors. [[KGB]] loves its defectors dearly, particularly those who donate heavily to the [[Booth]] [[budget]].

All the important defectors are on [[:Category:Defectors|this list]].

Kage

2006-12-07T04:08:36Z

Rlambert:

The [[KGB]] ''Kage'' is the place where we keep all of our [[hopes]] and [[dreams]]. It is our storage site and primary building location for [[Booth]].

The first Kage was located in the [[The Lavish B Level|B sub-basement]] of [[Margaret Morrison]]. It was originally a simple, empty cage, unoccupied and unhappy. Then daring young [[KGB]] members came upon it, placed a lock upon its sacred door, and waited. When, after a year, they found the lock still thereupon, they christened the Kage and moved in. It was in this earliest and most fable-ridden incarnation of the Kage that the [[dreams]] main was discovered, and so it was during that period that most of KGB's dreams were stored and bottled against future need.

In the year 2003, the [[College of Fine Arts]], which controls [[Margaret Morrison]], lost its Design cluster to the children's school. As a result, they started to turn their attention to the lower basements, where the Kage resided and where many organizations stored their miscellanies. The intrepid, fearless [[President]] of the [[KGB]] that year organized the other student leaders who controlled space in the basements of [[Margaret Morrison]] to resist the encroachment of [[CFA]], and was successful. However, the victory was short-lived, for following the end of that year, [[CFA]] swept through the B level with fire and the sword, and scourged out all traces of organizational storage.

The Kage was reconstituted on C level, beneath the watchful eyes of CFA's fierce, clan-governed tribal warriors, in a space which made up in industrial-decay chic what it lacked in ease of access. It was broad and filthy of floor, and vastly ample of headroom, and here the Kage resided for the following years. Its expansive chain-link entrance was guarded by a sign which could be reversed -- during Booth season, it read "Welcome"; at other times, "Fuck Off!".

In 2006, they finally got us to leave [[Margaret Morrison]], by giving us a room right under [[New House]]. There's much less headroom, but you can't beat the commute to [[Midway]].

The Kage is entrusted to the keeping of the [[Sergeant at Arms]]. Any [[stuff]] that is collected for [[KGB]] should be given to the [[Sergeant at Arms]] for storage until such time as [[The Revolution|the revolution]] finds a use for it.

It has never been possible to break into the Kage.

Useless People Auction

2006-12-07T03:49:42Z

Rlambert:

Formerly known as the slave auction, the useless people auction is an annual event at which KGB auctions off its members. Traditionally, members volunteer to auction six hours of their time to the buyer and can designate someone to outbid anyone they don't want to be bought by. KGB does not want to know what you do with your useless people.

Frequently, in addition to listing things they can do, useless people encourage people to increase bids by doing tricks, such as push-ups and headstands. In one memorable auction, two groups kept outbidding one another to purchase gwillen. One group would increase its bid in exchange for gwillen removing his shirt, and the other would increase its bid when he put it back on.

Useless stuff auction

Rlambert:

The useless stuff auction is an annual event at which KGB members donate useless stuff. The stuff is then auctioned to the highest bidder, and the money is kept by KGB.
