The scunt history will be posted soon.
1. THOU SHALT HAVE FUN!!
The whole idea of the Scunt is to enjoy yourself. It can be a lot of work also, but enthusiasm and spirit are the quickest ways to earn big points from Scunt Gods.
2. Thou shalt NOT drink alcohol.
The Scunt is alcohol-free. Any person who shows up for an event who has been drinking will be asked to leave. (This rule especially includes people on road trips. DO NOT DRINK and DRIVE.) If that person does not wish to leave, Campus Police WILL be called to have that person removed and team will be disqualified. Open alcohol in any place other than a residence is an offense in accordance with the Liquor License Act of Ontario and subjected to a $103.75 fine (as per Campus Police Fall '96).
3. Thou shalt NOT steal any road signs.
In the past, road signs have been targeted as items to retrieve for the Scunt. Any teams caught stealing road signs will be disqualified from the Scunt. For example, if we ask for the population of Middlesex, we don't want the sign, we want a video/picture of the sign.
4. Thou shalt not break the law.
Any person/team which breaks a federal, provincial, state, municipal, or any other law will be disqualified. The breaking of natural laws, such as gravity, should be left to the Scunt Gods. Keep in mind that things such as trespassing and kidnapping are criminal offenses. Think before you act and think of the consequences to you and the people involved.
5. Thou shalt be excellent to one another.
At no times through the Scunt will any derogatory remarks be accepted, and you will respect all other properties/gender/faculties. Where ever you go promote Engineering in a positive manor in the community and on-campus.
6. Thou shalt NOT take the name of the Scunt in vain.
Do not advertise that you are from the University of Waterloo, or on a Havenger Scunt, Scavenger Hunt, or any sort of treasure hunt. Keep it quiet. Do what you have to do, have fun doing it, but don't give out more information than you are required to give out. Keep a low profile.
7. Know where your Road-Trip teams are. Give them the phone number of Scunt Team Headquarters
Have your road trip teams check in periodically. You never know: WE may want to know how you're doing! And that way, when they lock their car in a parking garage in downtown Toronto, everyone will know not to expect them at judging!
8. Thou shalt NOT be pigs.
We are given the privilege, by the University, for the use of the building during judging. Therefore, do your best to keep all areas in good condition so we don't lose this privilege for future Scunts and events. During and after events help clean-up afterwards. Any team that makes a mess and leaves without cleaning up will lose their ranking for that event. Extra-special cleaning up will get you bonus points!!
9. Thou shalt PROVIDE for the needy.
This donation of non-perishable food items is a voluntary event once opening ceremonies is over, but keep in mind that it is going to a VERY worthy cause! All teams donating will receive scunt points. Note: Non-Perishable goods make great additional bribes for gods.
10.Thou shalt be safe and smart
There is no quicker way to ruin a perfectly organized and run good time than for some idiot to get injured or arrested. Don't leave anyone to walk alone to events at night. Be careful at events, and especially on road trips. Use that lump on your shoulders, called a brain, to make common sense decisions. If you were accepted into Waterloo Engineering than you have to have a good lump. Be smart, and if it's dangerous: don't do it! It's as simple as that!
11.Thou shalt not trespass onto another university campus
No one shall not set foot onto another University or College Campus (ie. U of T, Queens, etc.) during the Havenger Scunt.
12.Thou shalt obey the gods.
The Scunt gods are there to run events and to make sure things don't get out of hand. Disobedience will not be appreciated. In addition, be sure to take care of your gods: they have put a lot of work and money into this event and any show of appreciation will be duly noted.
13.Thou shalt NOT expect any support from any one if you break any of these rules.
Neither the Scunt gods, EngSoc, nor the University of Waterloo will be held responsible for any trouble thou gets into. You screw up, you're on your own.
