I decided to try my hand at the TWAT modality, with a little twist of my own Wink

My character Suzette got this email:

Quote:

Hi Dear,

My name is , a philanthropist and the founder of The , one of the largest private foundations in the world. I believe strongly in ‘giving while living.’ I had one idea that never changed in my mind that you should use your wealth to help people and I have decided to secretly give $12.9Million USD to randomly selected individuals worldwide. On receipt of this email, you should count yourself as the lucky individual. Your email address was chosen online while searching at random. Kindly get back to me at your earliest convenience, so I know your email address is valid.

Email: [email protected]

Visit the web page to know more about me:

Regards.

Mr.

Suzette:

Quote:

Dear Mr. ,

I was deeply moved by your email, and it is with a heavy heart that I tell you that my operation, The , here in Alaska, is unable to help. If you were a member I would certainly assist your cause in a heartbeat, through our church's more than ample coffers.

If you do wish to become a member, there may be a great many opportunities to do something together, including helping your noble cause.

Recently, our church was all set to begin an expansion into your portion of the world. A member of only one month had promised to help us start a new congregation. He had completed all of the necessary steps to begin and was about to receive an initial $200,000.00 to get started. Then, without warning, we never heard from him again. But we still have all that money ready to go, not to mention all that good in the world still left undone! If you wanted to take his place, we would be very eager to talk to you about that.

Let me know if this would be something that you would be interested in.

Sincerely,
Sister Suzette

Lad, in all caps:

Quote:

I HAVE INTEREST HOW DO WE PROCEED I AWAIT YOUR REPLY.

Suzette:

Quote:

I am so glad to hear you are interested, and look forward to the great work we will certainly do together! I am CCing Rev. , the membership director for back in civilization, on this email. He will instruct your through the simple process of joining our church, so that our True Work together may begin!

Blessed be,
Sister Suzette

Reverend, to lad:

Quote:

Dear Mr. ,

God bless you my child of Christ! My name is Rev. . Sister Suzette of the out in Alaska forwarded your email to me. I am the Director of Membership in charge of guiding prospective members of our church them along their journey.

There are only a few steps need to be taken to become a member of (TWAT):

First, we ask that you are of Christian faith. Next we will ask you to fill out a short informational form for our records. I have attachedthe application to this email. You may be asked for a password when trying to open it. The password is CDXIX. Ignore the part on the first page about "faxing the form" to that number: you can just email the completed form back to me.

Have you had a chance to visit our church's website? If not, I encourage to peruse the the site at your leisure, so that you may become better acquainted with our organization and our good works. Here is the link to the site:

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Blessed be,
Rev. Bret

Attached was the standard TWAT application.

Lad, to reverend:

Quote:

Will do.

Reverend:

Quote:

I am glad to hear it! I eagerly await your completed application. Do let me know if you have any questions about the application, our church, or anything else at all.

The lad then had a few questions for the good Sister, and hit her up on Google Chat:

Quote:

Lad: Hello.
How are you doing this evening?

Suzette: Very well, if a little cold up here in Alaska. But I suppose without the could, we wouldn't have all our magical snowscapes!
And yourself?

Lad: Am doing well up here .
Please can we get to know ?
I will like to have some information about you can that be possible?

Suzette: Why of course!
I was born into a very serious family business, but when my father died, I found I needed to escape everything and be alone in nature for a time. So I arranged to run the family business completely remotely, and came here to the most wild desolate place I could think of to truly find myself and who I was without my father in my life, and while doing so, I found my faith through . Then I knew that I had to help others find the path as I did: thus, I took the great big swath of land with nothing but a tiny log cabin where I was living and started the . And I have been here for the last fifteen years.
And that is my story. And yourself?

Lad: Can I ask you?
What do you have for me?

Suzette: Well, once you are a fully fledged member of our church, you will have access to a $200,000 grant to build a chapter of your own, in addition to our church's wonderful connections across a variety of fields, so that you may help those in need even better, both physically and spiritually!

Lad: Do I have a fee to pay to you to receive all this from your church?

Suzette: Heavens no! As I told you in my initial email to you, policy dictates that we may only provide financial support to members of our own church, but joining our church is free of cost for all. Once you have joined our church, we take care of any and all costs associated with you receiving your grant: we certainly have enough money of our own for any little fees, and our aim is to make sure that nothing gets in the way of a person who wishes to do good work!

Lad: Okay I accept.
Can I have this information about you?
Name ?
Address?
Phone number?

Suzette: That's wonderful news! My full name is Address is tricky, as we are quite literally in the middle of nowhere, not connected to any towns by road, only by plane. However, if you wish to see where in the world we are, I believe our approximate location is

But that's just our little sisterhood. The headquarters of Itself is on the West Coast of the United States: a much more agreeable place for travelers indeed!

And now we wait to see if he fills out the form...

Posted: Sat Jan 20, 2018 2:59 am

I have two Great dream for this variation on the TWAT modality:

1) To send a lad on safari through the Alaskan wilderness
2) For a lad to get a tattoo that reads ""

If you want to try your hand as a member of and believe you can achieve one of these dreams, please oh please do so!

Also, if a lad wants to join The Sisterhood, they need to build a special pyramid monument made of either snow, ice, or bags of ice. (It's okay if the lad is a dude: the Frigid Sisterhood believes that "through Good Works together with your fellow people, we may all become Sisters before The Lord, regardless of our inconsequential earthly bodies." Razz

)

It's always good to see new people be welcomed into the folds of TWAT.

Posted: Sat Jan 20, 2018 5:23 am

Lol, I'm sure with most of the lads narrow views, the thought of being part of a 'Sisterhood' is going to take some getting use too. Laughing

Posted: Sun Jan 28, 2018 8:10 am

That lad mysteriously never responded. Boooooooo. But today, I may have stumbled upon a possible new recruit...
Presenting:
Suzette and , USA Army

A couple days ago, a mysterious white-haired guy named sent Suzette a Google Hangout request. Later, he sent a couple "hello"s. So this morning, I decided to give him a try...

Quote:

Lad: Hello
• Fri, 1:06 PM

Lad: hello

Me: Remind me how I know you?

Lad: Not sure

Me: Explain?

Lad: found you on my list
I am Frash, USA Army
Your list? Of what/

Lad: is been long i check my mail
hangout
i have been on tour

Me: Thank you for your service

Lad: you are welcome
whats your name?
I am from CA

Me: Suzette. What is this "list"?

Lad: people you may know
we may have same thing in common
nice name Suzette

Me: You're not blackmailing me, are you? 😕

Lad: huh
you may stop talking to me if you are not comfortable with it

Me: I'm just not clear on what exactly you want...

Lad: well i like to explore. i am currently in Afghanistan on mission
i enjoy making friends
just people to talk to whenever i am bored.

Me: Oh. Okay.

Lad: am i welcome?

Me: Sure
Afganistan boring right now?

Lad: yes
we fighting Terrorism Daily (umm...snore? I guess?)

Me: But that sounds so exciting! 😉

Lad: we have been able to rescue many women and children.

Me: That's great!

Lad: what do you do?

Me: I own a wholesale jewelry manufacturer. (#Jewelers #UniverseContinuity) It pretty much runs itself, so I also lead a little order here in Alaska. Wink

Lad: oh sounds good
i have always want to go into business . maybe after my retirement.

Me: I sort of inherited mine. But business can be fun. There's lots of fighting. Sometimes winning.
My true passion is the order. Ever hear of ?
We're sort of an offshoot of that. Actually looking to open a chapter in your part of the world...

Lad: my work takes most of my time.

Me: I'd imagine!
Saving women and children requires lots of focus...

Lad: yes
you are such a good business woman

Me: But if you do have a Chaplin or something there who'd be interested in scoring a $200,000 grant to open a church for the poor children of Afganistan, let me know 😉
Me: Aw, thanks!

Lad: maybe someday we can sit down and talk about business , Then i will decide what to go into

Me: Minerals is a fun field, I hear. Wink

Lad: oh you mean you want to build a church for the kids?
they will be glad
there some local chaplain. ( Very Happy

#BaitTaken)

Me: The kids, the adults, a place to spread The Word to the people of planet earth, yeah!
Think he might be interested?

Lad: definitely
they have a place already but not conducive .
we supply them part of our food stuff sometimes
many of the kids already lost their parent

Me: Oh great! Yeah, definately talk to him. has a pretty great team, so we can get you a super conducive church!

Lad: but its just so dangerous for your team to come down here (Translation: What?? No! D-don't come down person! Shocked

)

Me: You know, I think Father back in civilization was thinking about setting up a program for orphans (well...now he is Razz

), if you want me to look into that for the kids...
Oh, we'd only come down in person once we have a security plan in order. We like to employ locals to build it, stimulate the economy and get people employed, anyway.

Lad : Government won't allow that.. we have had a some cases which some American are being kidnapped by Terrorist and got killed (Dont-come-down-in-person, don't-come-down-in person, don't-come-down-in-per--)

Me: Then I guess it means we'd have to employ even more locals instead! Lol

Lad (too freaked by the thought of my organization hypothetically coming down in person to pick up my subtlety): did you watch the news recently

Me: We've had arrangements where we've provided guidance over the internet, and the local have taken care of everything on the ground before, and they've worked out pretty well.

Lad: you heard about the Hotel attack in Afghanistan by Terrorist

Me: Another one?

Lad: yes
just thinking i should connect you with the chaplain, look for means to make wire transfer to him (*hopeful oinking* Very Happy

) and i can supervise the project my self and send you photos

Me: That sound great! Can you send me his email?

Lad: hang on let me get it from a junior officer

Me: Okay

Lad: Lieutenant Tom want me to talk to him in the morning and see if he is ready to build the church
its 3 am here now
i will talk to him later today and give him your email address.

Me: Sounds good!

Lad: i want to be able to do something like this someday. you are such a good woman with good heart

Me: Aw, thanks! 😊
Glad I can help make a dream come true 😉

Lad: The kids will really appreciate too. hopefully they can build more hostel from the money you are sending
i will also support them with $50,000

Me: Oh wow! Thank you, that'll go a long way!

Lad: yes
are you married? (ooooh Wink

)

Me: Oh no. You? (lemme guess: you're a widower, she died of cancer)

Lad: i am a widow
Was she also in the army?

Lad: no
she died of cancer
how long have you been single?

Me: I mean, I've never been married...

Lad: oh okay

Me: Haven't gone steady with anyone and put a label on it for...a really long time. But I've still had fun...

Lad: oh okay
guess you are enjoying single life..lol

Me: Well, I have my order, my company, and six dogs to look after...so that's almost as good as being married with kids lol

Lad: do you mind exchanging photo with me?
how old are you?

Me: Oh, sure. I'll do that once I get back to my desktop.

Lad: Okay

Me: I'm between the ages of...18 and 150 😋 What about you?

Lad: 47

Me: Hey, that's a lucky number for me! (That is, in fact, a lucky number for those of my alma mater...)

Lad: really?

Me: Yup. Must be a good omen for our churchly endeavors.

Lad: Thanks
would you tell me your age now?
can i guess?

Me: ok

Lad: 52

Me: Why 52?

Lad: i am not good at guessing ..lol

Me: lol So it literally just the first number that popped into your head?

Lad: yeaaaa

Me: A valiant strategy...
Incorrect.
I'll give you 2 more guesses

Lad: hahahaha
okay hang on
45

Me: Warmer

Lad: 48

Me: colder

Lad: oh

Me: 43. You were so close 😉

Lad: omg
i almost got it
what time is it there?

Me: 2:16 PM

Lad: have you had lunch??

Me: Why, are you asking me to lunch? 😉

Lad: cause its afternoon

Me: Might be a bit of a drive for you all the way up to Alaska lol
Yeah, I've had lunc

(The lad sent the first pic of himself. Reverse google image search revealed he stole it from some guy's twitter.)

Me: That's a good one!
What time do you army guys usually turn in for the night?

Lad:
[img]https://imgur.com/ZGcWVFe[/img]
(Reverse google image search revealed this was a picture of a US general...)
i am on Night Shift

Me: Fun.
What's that picture from?

Lad: Japan
2 weeks ago
have you ever been to Asian countries?

Me: I have, actually.
What were you doing in japan?

Lad: what country?
train some Japanese soldier

Me: I've been to Japan, and some places in china.

Lad: oh wow thats good

Me: Have to head off for now, unfortunately. Headed into an area with no cell reception.

Lad: alright
wish you a wonderful day
stay cool

Me: Talk you you soon. I'll send you that picture of myself when I get home.
You stay cool too!

Lad: i can't wait to see what you look like....
lol
• 3:26 PM

And now, ladies and gentlemen the moment you've all been waiting for: the moment you learn what the heck Suzette looks like!

Me (a few hours later):
Taken this summer on some random dirt road...

Fingers crossed...

Posted: Sun Jan 28, 2018 8:17 am

The reason the first lad failed to respond is probably that it's actually impossible for him to do so while remaining in character and it is likely to be the same for this latest lad. They are both playing white Americans and therefore it will be impossible for them to provide any of the pictures that the TWAT application asks for. Not to mention the fact that in both cases, you have built up no relationship with the lads, they're still on script.

For a successful church bait, you really need to be targeting scammers who aren't playing something they're not or get them to forget about their character so that they can use their real photos and that involves building up a relationship with them.

Posted: Sun Jan 28, 2018 8:27 am

^^@B8er Ooh hadn't thought of that. It looks like this guy might pass the church business off to a "chaplain," so maybe he'll be smart and make the chaplain character look exactly like him. Or maybe I'll try just taking out the photo section of the form for now...

Posted: Wed Jan 31, 2018 11:26 pm

As per @B8rs notes, I have created a "lite" version of the TWAT application that doesn't require photos. I also changed the date on the footer to 2018, and removed the part about sending a fax. You can find this new TWAT Lite Membership Form here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-TvdlyQdu6TTAyJuGsiV7rMmM4kE83cD/view?usp=sharing
Password is still .

Back to our story...

The next day, I got messages from both Gardner and preacher going by the name of "."

Gardner:

Quote:

what a charming pretty woman you are.
you are so beautiful
you are looking angelic .. i guess angels like you lives in Heaven.

Preacher:

Quote:

Hi Suzette, I am John a preacher in Afghanistan.
i was informed by Commandant (cool. I was wondering about his character's rank...) that you are willing to support our kids here in Afghanistan. they are casualty of war. most of the kids lost their parent to ISIL Terrorist. we will be glad if you can support with the said amount it will go a long way in building a church and hostel for the motherless baby home and less privilege people around here. we have to keep the gospel going and may God bless you as you support us.
Hope to hear from you soon.
John • Sun, 4:38 AM

i will tell you how to get the money to us here in Afghanistan once you get back to me. Thank You
the situation here has been so tense lately
95 people died today as a result of Taliban attack. (Daymn!)
but our God is good and they can't break us because he that is in us is greater than he that is in them. Our God is Good
John • Sun, 4:38 AM

I got back to them both Monday evening. Let's start with The Commandant:

Quote:

Me: Hey, you!
*Super* crazy couple of days...
Well aren't YOU a sweet talker 😉

Lad: hehehehe
guess what

Me: What?

Lad: i miss you (oh damn, already? Razz

)

Me: D'awww 😏

Lad: where have you been?

Me: Yesterday the Order had it's Sunday Winter Snow Sculpture Exhibition--we have those about once a month, when there's snow--and *today* I got up at five and drove my six dogs to a dogsled racing qualifying event. So...a very busy and freezing-cold couple of days lol

Lad: Oh okay
i was worried when i did not hear from you. (Ughh. No. puke

)

Me: Aw, don't worry!
Hey, I may live in an Arctic no-man's land with polar-bears roaming around, but I have six very hyper dogs to protect me 😉

Lad: hehehe
i like dogs too

Me: Good lol
Have any of your own?

Lad: not anymore

Me: I'm sorry 😢 What kind of dog did you have?
Mon, 10:04 PM

Lad: PIT

Me: Aww, you know, a couple of my favorite dogs I've met were pit bulls...
Did yours do that thing where they put their lil' ears all the way back when they're trying to be cute?

(The lad was quiet for a few minutes. I like to think he was looking up what the heck I was talking about. It was this kinda thing, btw: https://treatplaylove.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/img_1955-1.jpg)

Lad: yes
Baby there is an emergency now
i got to go
stay cool

Me: Uh oh! Good luck with that, go get 'em!
You stay cool too
Mon, 10:45 PM

Lad: Hi Baby (Um... "Baby"? Confused

)
Frash • Tue, 7:07 AM

Me: Oh hey
How was the emergency?
Tue, 1:46 PM
Me: Got in touch with Mr. Abraham, by the way. I put him in touch with our membership and grant director, Rev. Bretters0n: he handles the actual grant-giving process.
Tue, 2:01 PM

Lad: hi baby
everything went well, my boys was able to rescue some women have been kidnapped for so long by the Terrorist. (#GoBigOrGoHome)
trust you are good
always remember me in prayer

Me: Oh wow... you had a regular, Hollywood-movie rescue mission! So great to hear about people being *saved*, in...all that over there... Mr. Abraham previously mention that *95* people were killed in a Terrorist attack on Sunday? Sheesh! These Terrorists are ridiculous...

(And then the State of the Union was on, so I had to go check that out...)

Suzette's correspondence with Preacher John:

Quote:

Me: Great to meet you! As the Commandant has probably told you, my church, is offering a $200,000 grant to someone willing to build us a sister-church in your part of the world. I'm putting you in touch with Reverend Bretters0n, who will provide provide you with all the details about getting the grant, and answer any questions you may have. He's our membership director back at our central cathedral on the West Coast, he's been there forever, and he's seen it *all*! Just shoot him an email at [Bret's email] to get started.
Mon, 9:56 PM
Also, after the Syrian refugee crisis, Rev. Bretters0n started another set of grants to set up safe places for children displaced by conflict. You should ask him about that too, when you email him! It sounds like your community would make an ideal candidate.
Tue, 2:04 PM

Lad: okay
i just sent an email
looking forward to hear from him.
John • Tue, 5:27 PM

Preacher John's email to Bret:

Quote:

Good day sir,
I am John, a preacher here in Afghanistan, we are a group of people helping display children and less privilege people here in Afghanistan. for a while now we have been trying hard to raise fund to build the house for God for worship and we need to build a more conducive building for the kids. I was told by Mrs Suzette that you will be able to support us.

i will be glad if you can support us and May God Bless you as you help move the Gospel further.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thank You

John.

Bret's response today:

Quote:

A blessed day to you, my fellow brother of the cloth!

Suzette has told me of you and the work you are doing, and I believe you will make an excellent candidate for our $200,000 grant.

There is only one thing required of you before our True Work may begin: after some truly unfortunate events that befell our church in the early 2000s, it became our policy that before granting someone financial assistance, they must first become a member of our church.
All you need do to become a member is fill out a short informational form for our records. I have attached said form to this email. You may fill out this form electronically from wherever you happen to be, then email it back to me when you are complete. You may be asked for a password when trying to open it. The password is

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Blessed Be,
Reverend Bret Bretterson

interesting twist.

regarding church baits (or any other baits, where the lad needs to bring in himself): you can open a side-door for the lad by telling him, if he knows friends who is also willing to participate.

the lad will happily jump onto that opportunity and will introduce you to... himself. Wink

Posted: Thu Feb 01, 2018 1:18 am

Today's conversation with The Commandant:

Quote:

Lad: HI

Me: Hi there!
Sorry to run off on you last night lol State of the Union was on.

Lad: How are you Love?
i understand
trust you are good

Me: You guys do anything for State of the Union in Afghanistan? Have a wild viewing party?

Lad: yes
i didn't had much fun though

Me: At the end of the day, IS still a boring-politician-speech, I suppose. 😝 At our viewing party, we did that thing where you make a bingo card of things you think the president will say in his speech. That makes it a little more exciting...

Lad: I don't like politics
what have you eaten today?

(I Google food people in Alaska like...)

Me: I'm only a little ashamed to admit that I had king crab for both breakfast and lunch. And MAYBE I also had it for lunch yesterday 😜
YOU'RE a foodie, aren't you.

Lad: yes
i want you to keep eating well because i want to meet you in good health.

Me: AND a fellow health nut Wink

It's good when those two traits go together: that means you get practicality AND good taste.
Do you cook?

Lad: yes i am good cook
will you like to taste my food someday?
whats your favorite?

Me: You know I would!
Hmm, my favorites change all the time...
Do you have a particular specialty?

(Lad is silent for a few minutes. Maybe he looks up what food people in America like Wink

)

Lad: pizza

Me: That's awesome.

Lad: baby wondering if we can go on vacation together someday ...
where will you like to visit?

Me: Oh my 😳
There IS one place I absolutely have to get to eventually...
(First, I pick someplace true to Suzette's character...) Ever hear of ?

Lad: .no

(Lad went off line at some point while I was crafting the next part...)

Me: Well, it's the largest cave in the world, and it's got *everything*: A river, a jungle (yes, a whole tiny jungle INSIDE the cave), cave pearls the size of baseballs... Plus, it's objectively beautiful. Here's it's website:
So far, fewer people have visited than Cave than climbed to the summit of Mount Everest. But a proper tourism program finally began in 2013, and tours are a relatively modest $3,000 per person...

(Then, I have a brilliant idea...)

Me: But after being deployed and all, you'd probably appreciate a vacation someplace...actually comfortable 😜
My OTHER travel dream is to go to Monte Carlo and have a proper James Bond-esque adventure of intrigue, romance, and all that other tripe.
While it's a little unlikely to get a proper James Bond-style adventure in real life, I think it would still be fun. As long as I had a friend with me.
Also, I think Monte Carlo is the most polar-opposite thing you can get from Afghanistan, if you're looking for a little break from all that 😉

Posted: Thu Feb 01, 2018 2:27 am

Great job so far! Assuming that your lad doesn't randomly disappear, as happens all too often when I have something promising happening, this looks like a recipe for romance, adventure, and much hilarity. If you want to push joining the church a bit more, I'd be glad to help; the more the merrier, especially when a lad is particularly fun.

Posted: Fri Feb 02, 2018 5:29 am

^^@MM The TWAT For Dummies does recommend setting up a big bureaucracy for the lad to go through, so it will definitely be good to have volunteers if we get to that point!

Anyway: 2 Major developments in our story

Development 1: our will they/when will they couple

Quote:

Lad: hi baby

Me: Hey there!

Lad: how are you
how was your day?

Me: Sore as heck 😩
Long day training with the dogs.

Lad: oh
you must be very tired
wish i am there to give soft massage Shocked

Me: That would be sooo nice right now...

Lad: massage your back till you fall asleep

Me: Oh yes please...

Lad: have you in my hands, play with your hair till you fall asleep in my arms

Me: 😳
Oh wait, that's a super awkward looking face lol (in Google Hangout, that emoji looks super derpy, and has a weird triangle mouth...)

Lad: i can't wait to have you in my arms, look into your eyes and tell you how pretty you are.

Me: ...oh?

Lad: yes

Me: so...
are we...
for seriously doing this now?

Lad: yea
did i got you scared?
Nah, I'm a grownup adult woman 😏 ...but of course I'm still gonna be like "whaaaaaaaaaaa? 😲😲😲" (this face also looks extra silly in Google Hangout)
Oh God, that looks incredibly silly 😑 what is it with me and composing aesthetically dignified messages today?

Lad: how will you feel when you finally meet me in person?
i just can't wait to see your pretty face

Me: ...Oh, who the heck knows 😏

Lad: Wish we have met long ago

Me: D'awww

Lad: yes baby
We still do need to technically MEET meet. But hey, I've still enjoyed our time together and sharing meaningful human connection so far 😋
So... I do still need to shower 😕
Maybe I'll see you again in 20 minutes, if no explosions or anything come up on your end 😛

Lad: do you need me to help wash your back? puke

Frash • Thu, 11:30 PM

(20 minutes later...)

Me: lol
Nah, I'm reeeeeally flexible 😏

Lad: ok

Me: but if it makes you feel helpful, by all means 😉
Anyway, I'm back.

Lad: sounds sweet
you should have your dinner now (ya tryin' to get rid of me, now? Crying or Very sad

)

Me: Food DOES sound like a good idea...
Since I got back, I've pretty much just been lying across my bed like half-frozen, person-shaped sandbag, going "...uuuuuughh... 😑" So...I should probably get up and see what we have in the icebox, now 😛

Lad: good
i am good cook
someday you will taste my food
i want to be able to spoil you and make you feel on top the world
• Thu, 11:56 PM

And during the 20 minutes I was out, Bret received Development 2 from Preacher John:

Quote:

Hello Reverend Bret Bretterson

Kindly find attach my membership form.

Attached was an almost complete membership form (password is the usual ): https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BweWyzhmTRuYRUZ3cGI5Y1hiaURvdXhFcnpCS2pGOHR5QW9V Very Happy

He did leave out the drawing section, unfortunately, so we'll need to fix that. Razz

But otherwise everything's there.
My favorite line is:

Drawing acquired!

Bret sent Preacher John this email:

Good day, fellow brother of the cloth!

My assistant has now fully reviewed your membership form, and we were very pleased with your thoughtful and heartfelt responses. Your passion for Christ is clear (though I would expect nothing less from a man of God!) and it was wonderful to see that you share our Church's drive for proactivity in Our Lord's name.
Before the paperwork gets officially filed, it seems you have left Page 5, "Draw what you think the TWAT would look like," blank. Rest assured, plenty of other applicants who fill out the electronic version of the form have also been confused by this page, as it is very difficult to actually draw a picture on a PDF!
So instead, please draw what you think the TWAT would look like on a separate sheet of paper, take a picture of that, and email it to me, and I will attach it to your form.
I look forward to welcoming you into the folds of the TWAT family very soon,(welcoming into the folds lol Laughing

) and to a lively discussion on our future project together!

Blessed Be,
Reverend Bret Bretterson

Yaaay!

So...um, what usually the next step in a TWAT bait? Razz

Posted: Thu Feb 08, 2018 1:57 am

Considering how the lad seems quite ambitious and devoted, I would say the next step could be having him recruit a few more people for his budding congregation (extra money would be added to his final reward for each person he gets to complete the same application he did), and then, assuming he is still on board, have him draw up plans for a TWAT monument to hold church services. This may involve adding a few new characters; for instance one could be in charge of directing church services and would help the lad plan out the monument and TWAT church services there, and another character could help plan global TWAT meetups, setting the stage for a safari later. Although I have never really done TWAT baits before, I have read a few of the classics such as Prosper and Omar, and it all hinges on slowly building up trust and confusion such that when it's time to build a monument or travel off to the desert, it does not feel suspicious, but rather completely necessary. Sometimes lads aren't always willing to recruit new people, but as long as he does fun stuff for you, it works. The "devolution" mentioned over in the Robert thread may also be an interesting idea, and it seems like it could be easily tweaked for TWAT. As for making sure there are no issues later (although there are almost always issues), I would mention the long-term plans for what he has to do and ensure he is on-board with them; then, if he has second thoughts later, you can say that he is so very close to receiving his grant, and accuse him of going back on his word (obviously a heinous crime). If you need another character for something, Justin Matthew is very willing to help (he takes on many roles over my baits, from gold dealer, chef, to senile old man).

Shortly after my last post, the lad's membership application was officially accepted:

Quote:

Excellent!
With your form and this drawing, I am pleased to announce that you are now an official member of the TWAT family!

As a recipient of our Church Construction Grant, your next step will be to talk with one of our very capable and experienced construction coordinators. Together, you will discuss the plans for your building, and draw up a budget of your financial needs for just the construction aspects of your church. Your financial needs for church programs, masses, and personnel will be discussed separately, at a later date.
All of our construction coordinators were at a structural material science conference this week, so we have not yet had the opportunity to assign one to your case. But we will certainly assign one to you within a day or two, so stay vigilant!

After hearing about the true plight of Afghanistan, it is clear that there is more work yet to be done! I am heartened greatly at the through of bringing light to your little community, but shudder to imagine the hundreds of others in this nation still left in only dark and violence. Thus, if you have any more colleagues or friends across Afghanistan who you believe would make good candidates for our $200,000 church construction grant, I urge you to send them my way. You may give them my email, [email], or I can email them instead. We have allotted in our budget a total of five more grants to give out in the Middle East, but can increase that number if the need seems especially severe!

A certain Justin Matthew (@MM) was selected to be Pastor John's construction coordinator Wink

Rev. Bretters0n put them in touch on Feb. 10...

Quote:

Greetings, once more!

I have just conversed Justin Matthews, one of our most experienced construction coordinators, and I am pleased to inform you that he is free to work with you on your project!
Please send him an email at [email], with the subject line "Greetings from TWAT" so that he knows what this is regarding.

Justin's role is to assist with matters of building construction. (and thats it! Remember that! Razz

) As for any and all questions on subjects outside the ream of construction, please email me and I will put you in contact with the proper people.

I look forward to seeing what you build together!

Blessed Be,
Reverend Bret Bretters0n

Oh excellent! Have a blessed day!

Lad, Feb. 12:

Quote:

I have been informed on how to construct the church down here, how do we get the grant so that we can start building?

Bret:

Quote:

Greetings, Brother!

Once you and Justin have determined how much money you require as a budget for you construction needs, our finance coordinator will help you figure out best way for you to receive said funds. Justin will let me know once you have determined your construction budget, so worry not!

Lad:

Good day Sir,

I have been in touch with Justin Mathew, he gave us a condition to raise fund to build a pyramid before we can proceed with the Grant. (A pyramid already? Sounds like @MM has been having fun! Laughing

) We are find it difficult to raise fund for cement, (um, the pyramid manual never says anything about using cement: just sacks of sand and/or dirt Confused

) most of our member here are casualty of war with no job. we hardly raise fund for medical bills and foods. The Grands is meant for building of the church, think we can start building the church and the Pyramid once we got the grant. someone who have been here would understand the situation of things here.

I will be looking forward to hear from you

Jacob A

Well, Mr. Matthews is the experienced expert in construction coordination, so if he says it's Pyramid o'clock, then it's Pyramid o'clock for you, my dude! Laughing

I sent the lad this note of encouragement:

Quote:

Oh dear me, do forgive me, my Brother! I had completely forgotten that we had reinstated our additional security measure of Pyramid construction for all new grants awarded to members recruited since November, 2017 due to the increased unrest in the world of late. The reasoning behind this security measure is such: criminals (or God forbid, terrorists!) who would attempt to deceive organizations such as ours for the grant money have short attention spans and tend to begrudge even the slightest bit of real work. Constructing these Pyramids is meant to be an activity that even the most impoverished community can do without undue burden, while weeding out any dastardly criminals.

You mentioned not being about to raise money for cement? I think you may have misunderstood dear Justin: you don't need anything fancy like cement at all to construct a Pyramid Monument! You see, all you need are sacks filled with sand and/or dirt, and as I understand, sand and/or dirt is everywhere in Afghanistan, ready for you to gather it from the ground free of charge. Sacks are also plentiful in Afghanistan, and if you of short of sacks, military bases have plenty of sacks used to ship provisions, which they would otherwise throw out once empty, and I'm sure that Commandant Gardner would be happy to let you take them off his hands instead.

I encourage you to make this a joyous community affair! Tell everyone to bring their old empty sacks that they would have otherwise thrown out. Invite all the member of your parish, especially the children--children love to be helpful, and love playing with dirt and/or sand even more! And having something fun and character building to do does wonders in helping prevent children from turning to lives of Terrorism and crime.

Blessed Be,
Reverend Bret Bretters0n

Suzette and the Commandant have still been chatting in the meantime, mostly banal stuff. In their most recent communication, they exchanged a couple pics and the Commandant told her:

Quote:

Baby i want to send you a gift, could you drop me your address?

Hmm

suggestions on what to do with that? Why does he want her address, think he'd actually send her a gift? Smile

Posted: Thu Mar 01, 2018 11:33 pm

He might but it is doubtful. Just give a fake address.

Nothing from him so far, even after I sent a reminder. I will check again tomorrow.
