Okay, if there is going to be some kind of clique recruiting deal going on then I’ll just start my own. You can join now! You don’t have to be nice! You can be a bitch or a jerk! Just tell me what YOU bring to the party! I guarantee you will remain flame free in the Pit for at least a month! (Disclaimer: major imbeciles need not apply. I’ll still flame you. This includes those on my ribbon clerk shit list.) ---

Ah, yes! WOMEN! (Rubs hands briskly) love the women of the dope pages! I’ve got that Def Lep song “women” running through my head right now so… Kellibelli I will place you high among my acolytes. You shall be the treasurer. I think I can trust you with the 3.00 this stint is sure to bring in! 😉 And Sassy, you shall hence forth be known as official recorder. You shall make note of all who enter this esteemed clique. You have the power to veto anyone you deem “unfit” as long as kellibelli agrees. THAT should clear out the riff-raff. So, my lovely, sexy pets… should we actively recruit? And who should we go after? We do want the creme da la creme… ---

Ah, more lambs to the slaughter! BWHA HA HA! SanibelMan – yes, you ARE charming. Perhaps too much so. But I think, yes, you should work the door and greet those who enter. (And try to get their wallets, if you can) techchick68 – ah, another fab babe! You don’t have to pay anything. You bring computer expertise to the party. You can run our web page. And try to swink as many wallets as you can… FreakFreely – you can fill many “roles” as my one of my personal love slaves. Your post here in MPSIMS shows your knack for the kinky. Now, slip into that little leather thing and meet me out back… barflyer – ah, an almost virgin! You can help Freak in seeing to my every sexual whim. Trust me, it’s fun! ---

So I am the Information Systems Manager for the party? Nice thing about being a manager is that I manage people rather than having to actually know what I am doing, HAHA. ---

Silver\_Fire – you bring urbane wit. Pull up a chair. dropzone – yes, you can join. You bring a novelty. And I’m just sure you can help out Freak and barflyer in seeing to not only my needs but to those of my other female compatriots. (Not a bad job, really.) ---

techchick68 – that’s just ONE of the things you do. Being a woman, you also can direct any of the men (and SOME of the women) to do your bidding. Just a perk. SanibelMan – well, now that you mention it, I don’t think that door needs all that much attention. Are you familiar with the practice of “queening”? I’d just LOVE to introduce you to it! ---

Persephone – a charge card and candles? Well, you too are high up on the list. How about Vice president? You look after all the vice stuff we are bound to be into. Make sure we have enough vice to make the clique interesting! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-byzantine-clique-join-me-now-i-can-protect-you-just-ask-me-how/29077.md?page=2)
