Are you concerned about Blithe or Flitting Stinglider attacks? Loath to exacerbate Tamaquan area decapitation statistics? Burrowing Stinglider larvae can remain dormant in the anthracite for years, PROVIDED that no THIN METAL RODS are prodded into the terrain. IF DISTURBED, the nymphs may emerge from their burrows and climb to the top of the nearest tree, post, or weathervane to build an ominous and looming nest. Now is the time to eradicate invasive pokings!

Safer alternatives to ground-poking include sandbaggery, hot-air balloons, or a fully staffed palanquin system.

Participate as much or as little as you like - no icebreaker games or putting anyone on the spot. We've got some tools to make some of the implicit social "rules" explicit to help you out if you have trouble with that sort of thing.
