A few simple questions...

[[JiF]55GaLLoNdrUm]

What does it mean to sport a JiF tag? What is included in having a JiF tag? Benefits/responsibilities? How does one go about getting a tag?

Hey 55GaLLoNdrUm,

First a link to "What is JiF?"
http://www.jiff.net/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=347

Next is a link to "Can I join the JiF Clan?"
http://www.jiff.net/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=349

That pretty much sums it all up. Play fair, no cheating, promote good sportsmanship, posting here and getting on to Teamspeak helps too.

If there is anything else, feel free to ask.

Well 55gal,
To be a Jif member, I would expect the following to be a part of the duties and responsibilities to achieve Jif-dom:

1.) You must always be happy when a senior Jif member frags you over and over again. This behavior is followed up with no apologies by said Jif member. The possible inductee then should communicate the token phrase -" Thank you sir, may have another?"

2.) When there are opportunities to take a plane, tank or other desirable transportation, that person acquiesces to the Jif member and says politely “ no really, you deserve the plane, tank, etc. since you are such a superior player and we want our team to win, which I know you will make happen!.” This makes the Jif member think that they really do matter for that team win, even if it isn’t true.

3.) The possible inductee poses inviting questions to the various Jif members either in-game or via the forums such as: “gee (place the Jif members name here…), can you show me the tricks and methods you have learned to be such a good player so that I can be just like you?” or “I really enjoy (again, place Jif member name here…) and being on their team since I learn so much by watching and learning their playing abilities!” This may push the limits of what the inductee can stomach, but said inductee understand that a little B.S. goes a long way and they plan on a little payback once they are a Jif member anyway….

4.) Always and I mean ALWAYS, acknowledge the senior (read: old!) members of the Jif community as stewards of the flame, keepers of the immeasurable wisdom of Jif and can be the hand of God if you are out of line. The sad thing is that they can remember the days of vacuum tubes and “rabbit ears” on their TV’s and we should always lower our heads in respect for such outdated knowledge. Members who have such recollections would be Grimp, Tissueman, Jimbo, etc. or any other member with an AARP prefix on their tag. Not only is this good for you in a political sort of way, they get a chance to be back in the ol’ spotlight like when they were younger and were full of moxy and vigor, poor bastards….

5.) Lastly, once the above has been observed and confirmed by the various Jif members in the forums and on-line, the possible inductee must watch “High School Musical” 20 times in a row, drink a pot of day old coffee from the company lunch room, sign up to be a member of the Richard Simmons big hair fan club, take a road trip to Duluth, ID for no reason and submit receipts from the trip. After all these things are confirmed, then the possible inductee will be considered for membership. (OK, this last part I made up, no one should have to endure a trip to Duluth…..)

Simple, no?

You missed the bit about the possible inductee having to send the senior members a box of doughnuts each. It helps to give their thought processes a bit of a jump start with all those carbohydrates!

Have an obsession with paper products & hiding things from yourself and forgetting where they are so you can go 'hunt' them down later using fancy GPS gadgets!

Let me address the questions and opinions here-

For DJSMG-
Bullet-proof backpacks were developed and issued in secret to those who had ATS clearance (Above Top Secret) several years ago when BF42 was all the rage. There were rumors about a guy here in Jif that went by Audey Murphy that was very close to the top of the world wide tracked players for a long time. (I have never seen this veteran in the threads or on-line but when his name is mentioned, there is a low murmur of respect and awe that echoes in this forum...)
Mine was a hand-me-down from Waterboy, who no longer wanders these halls much since he has Vista and Vista isn’t very happy running "legacy" games like BF42. I did see a posting though awhile ago so I know he still peeks in once in awhile..... Probably to see what’s been written about him since he has an ego and likes to put lots of smilies in his postings..... xx (<I am mocking!!!! ha!)


For Lt Gav-
If the old guys were police officers I would recommend doughnuts but since they are just regular guys, I would recommend Geratol instead.... much healthier on the older constitutions which may have issues with the after effects of eating doughnuts without prunes....

-ALERT-!!!

I see that Waterboy has posted today!!!! I am very glad to see he hasn’t changed the smilies thing (predictability is the first sign of a decaying mind…) and knew of the local weather out here in sunny California. Shows he can travel without help and remembers stuff. You may see him on-line so be careful, he is wily like a possum and fast as a sloth when he is angered.

[[JiF]LtWaterboy]

Decaying?? That assumes I had something to start with "to decay"...

Okay, I'll work on reducing my smilies (just can't help it... they are too cool!)

And becaureful...this GIANT sloth has nearly 35 days off in a row (with only a couple days the 1st week of Dec).

He may just sneak back up on you in BF1942 and pounce on you like a wolverine (instead of a possum)....

Might just have to pull out one of my alter "egos" to do it - either [JiF]BeMyHuckleberry or [JiF]IOwnYourA$$....

ps. It's nice to finally have a day off - can finally post somethin!!!
