History
Purpose The Awesome Possums are a group of people who have decided, of their own will, to spread the power of positivity (see: The New Day in WWE) around Amtgard and, frankly, everything else they can. The group exists for one purpose alone: to be awesome and to celebrate awesome. Definition of Awesome Everything is awesome. Everything is cool when you’re part of the team. Everything is awesome when you’re living our dream. Okay, I’m done being silly. There are things that are not awesome. But improving one’s skills or finding something neat or just being a decent human being? That’s awesome. Helping someone out? AWESOME! Doing your best, even if you don’t succeed? AWESOME! I’m pretty sure everyone gets it. What is Not Awesome Racism, sexism, bigotry in general, being a donk (that’s my term for half-assing something, get it?), violence without consent (I’m not going to tell someone not to go box or wrestle or whatever, plus LARP is violence), etc. Required Garb Nothing! Absolutely nothing. You can wear your own version of a possum belt flag or tabard or whatever the heck you want, but here’s the thing: you shouldn’t have to. People should know you by your awesomeness, and you don’t need a sign to show people that you’re awesome. Just be awesome. As far as colors go, who am I to make that a rule? You wear what you like, do it how you like, make things whatever way you like. Who Can Join? Anyone who wants to be awesome and celebrate awesomeness. The Household is open to anyone who wants to spread awesomeness around, regardless of age, sex, gender, race, or any other identification. However, if someone turns out to be not-awesome, they will be removed by a majority vote of the members. Who is in Charge? Well, I guess I (Uncle) am. However, the Awesome Possums will have elections roughly every six months to select both a Leader and a Lieutenant. The role of the Leader will just to be the Leader and the Lt. will be the Leader if the Leader can’t do something. This doesn’t sound like much, does it? Because it isn’t. This isn’t really an organized thing. The Leader can’t make you do anything you don’t want to do. You be awesome in your own way, but you know, LARPs like these silly little organizational things. Effectively, both positions are worth nothing and have no purpose aside from having A TITLE. Rules Be as awesome as you are capable of being. This is more a “Put 100% into everything” than anything else. Failure is acceptable so long as you tried your best. Always be positive. This does not mean being fake. Don’t be a bigot. This should go without saying. Celebrate success, even if it is minor. Help. Always help if you can. That said, this is not a service household. You can say no for any reason. But do help if you can. Take care of yourself. You are precious and a limited resource. Don’t do anything that would make your Uncle ashamed. Seriously. Do not be afraid to ask for help. Awesomeness is often achieved by teamwork. Feel free to show off! Seriously, how are we going to know when you did something awesome unless you tell us? Your knowledge is one of the best things you can offer to people. Try your best to help others achieve awesomeness.
