Gooood night then.
Also, I'm calling at least 30 more in the Order before you or I return...
(It's also getting close to my bed time. :3 )
Yes, in principal a pledge can end with a 5 or a 7, so it would be possible to get an 8 at the end without pledging 8 for the Obsidian Order. I would think that Obsidian will just check that there is an 8 at the end of the final pledge to confirm OO membership, but they might also check that there is a full $8 over everything else asked for. Of course, if they do, then the pledger loses his or her title and gets exposed as a cheating d-bag as well.
I've got a feeling that the honour system will probably keep this nice 'n' friendly.
Haha, yeah, pretty much what I was thinking. Getting called out and stricken from the records in front of all of us pledgelings would be pretty embarrassing.
(I'm sure they'd check for the full eight dollars after all. I mean, they don't have to do it manually for each pledge, once the surveys have been completed and all deductions made, they can use some automated system to check for them liars, should they exist.)
