| | | So I searched all kinds of words like "traditions" & "habits" & I didn't spot a thread like this yet, so hopefully I'm not mistaken. Does anyone have any habits or traditions that they do every time they explore a site? Mine is kinda girly. Everyplace new I go I tie a strand of pink ribbon on a main door knob as a symbol that I was there. It's a way to leave my mark without damaging anything. Anyone else? Pictures are even better.
We shall not cease from exploration, & the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started & know the place for the 1st time. |

| | | I wore a certain pair of pants to my first meetup, and they got a few holes ripped in them. Next time I went out with a group, I wore the same pants, and sure enough, new rip. They're small enough where it's not terrible-looking and I wash them right after I come home, so hey, I can have exploring pants I guess.

| | | At a meetup kickoff, flashlights go on the table so people can find the explorers. I wore the same belt every time until the belt died. Now I have a similar one. There aren't enough people here to start real traditions like y'all've got

You should probably go to Taco Bell first... That way when it hits you, you can cut out the middle man... The toilet.

| | | I personally like to go to places and find the scariest/darkest/most evil/creepy looking corner,hallway,room,tunnel, etc. and draw satanic markings/pentagrams allll over. then spill blood all over the place and leave bones and carcasses of animals (generally bought on wholesale at sams) with candles and a pile of ashes. then claw marks everywhere. tends to freak the next batch of UE kids who come along. every now and then i accidentally summon the devil or a demon or a mudkip. ehh shit happens

| | | When we explore a location and make it out successfully we typically give everyone a firm handshake whilst bellowing "EXCELLENT JOB GENTLEMEN" in our version of manly victorian accents. It all stemmed from this one time that we explored while wearing steampunk costumes...
