Duck taping

Duck taping is a ceremony that is occasionally done to newbs. It consists of taking duck tape, forcing a newb to stand against the Sleepy Town Tree, and duck taping the newb to the tree. In past times, newbs were repeatedly duck taped by several players, who taped the newbs rather forcefully and caused emotional damage to the newbs. After the Declaration of Duck Taping was created, it became WHILS Law to only duck tape a newb ONCE to the Sleepy Town Tree, and to do so in a friendly, loose manner.

Origin

If looked into deeply, the term "duck taping" came from YellowUbi's (ID #11362) "Legends of Whilso" stories on Ode to Llama. The idea of "duck taping" newbs to trees came from Qwigoqwaga in the post ID# 10971, although the idea of taping newbs to trees comes from earlier. Taping newbs to trees itself came about somehow after it became the trend to duck tape old players who were thinking about leaving to the Sleepy Town Tree to encourage them to stay.

Other Stuff

Duck taping can also be partnered up with Whilsonian Water Torture (eating cups of water while balancing them on one's head, all done while duck taped to the tree), Whilsonian Water Tortoise (random Whilsonian water tortoise spits water at you like a llama), and Whilsonian Puddle Torture (dunking newb's head into llama water pond). Qwigoqwaga came up with the first two of these ideas.
