BOOK 4: "Leadership"
Thus spoke Tim Gift:
" Let the Players be many and the
Leaders few - then all will be good "
4.1
A well-used door needs no oil on its hinges.
A swift-flowing stream does not grow stagnant.
A deer blends perfectly into the forest colors.
Tribe rots if not led properly.
These are great mysteries.
4.2
Grandmaster TheRedDread in his young
years accepted a Player into his team
once, seeing how good he was.
Indeed the Player was very skillful.
So great was Player’s ability,
that Grandmaster decided to
initiate him into the mystery of Tao.
The player however only laughed
At the Grandmaster saying that so great is
his skill, he does not need the Tao.
The Grandmaster banished the player
from the tribe immediately, and watched
as the other Tribes that Player was in
afterwards disbanded.
A great Leader not only understands
the Tao and follows it, but makes sure
that his Players know and embrace it too,
for Tribe without Tao is not a Tribe.
4.3
A great Leader knows Tao and
passes it on to his Tribe.
An average leader knows Tao
And keeps it to himself.
A bad leader rejects the Tao
and devastates his Tribe like
a Tsunami.
BOOK 5: "The Llamas"
Thus spoke Grandmaster elenex:
" What the fuck? "
5.1
Once the Almighty Tim Gift was pubbing
on Grandmaster Cheater’s server and
got into a dire need of escort.
While skiing over a hill he noticed two
Players who were O sniping.
Covering his appearance with that of a
simple capper, Tim Gift asked them for
escort.
One of the Players promptly helped
Him, while the other one ignored the
request.
Upon making the cap Tim Gift shook off
His appearance of a capper and summoned
Both Players before him, and said the following:
" Both of you will be rewarded to the extent of your
worth in the Tao "
He then awarded the Player who helped him with
the skill of Mine Disk, and turned the other one into a
Llama, and doomed him and his offspring and the
offspring of his offspring to eternal Llamnation.
And that was how the first Llamas appeared.
5.2
It was said Each player has its purpose, however humble.
Each player has its place within the Tao.
But one must understand that there are two sides to Tao.
Embrace the Tao, accept the Tao and your life will be
fulfilling.
Reject the Tao, deny it, and slowly you will go to it’s
Darker side.
5.3
A then young Grandmaster Rasta asked Tim gift once:
" Master, I am perplexed. I want to accept and embrace the
Tao, but I do not know how. Help me understand the Tao. "
Thus replied Tim Gift:
" One cannot comprehend the Tao.
Can a Newbie comprehend favorites ?
Can a flag comprehend a Capper ?
Can a Renegades player comprehend Base?
One can only listen to the Tao and follow it.
But your willingness is commendable young Rasta. "
And after speaking so Tim Gift created the 10 posts.
5.4 – The 10 posts of Tao

Grandmaster Rayn looked at the 10 posts and added the 11th one
Thou shall not have sig over 20 kb.
And removed Tim Gift’s signature.

the tao of tribe
The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State.
