The following is a recount of actual events; the events are real, the names are real, damn the innocent

In Triangle, there is a house position called Sergeant-at-Arms. The position basically has two jobs, one is to check house duties twice a week to make sure that they are being done properly, the second is to oversee the judicial board (j-board hears all appeals about whatever fines were levied, it's big and complicated so I won't get into it).

All of the positions (Pres, V.P., Secretary...etc) turn over at the semester, so we will have all new officers in January, with the exception of the President, which is switched over at Thanksgiving.

S@A is an position appointed by the Pres. The standard procedure for appointments is pretty complicated, but is normally just a formality, suffice it to say: I had every indication that the President, Matt, would appoint me to the position, I have even been the acting S@A for the last few weeks, as a sort of On-the-job training thing with the current S@A.

Unfortunately, pre-empting all sense of normality, Jared (a.k.a. Matt's best friend), was appointed LAST WEEK, unbeknownst to everyone including me. So I woke up last Thursday morning to a fine in my mailbox for not doing my house-duty properly, which struck be as a little odd, seeing as how I was the one that was supposed to do the fining.

Since then, lots of people have been mad, and lots of people are considering doing some very drastic things. But this is basically what it all boils down to:

1.)Matt and Jarod have instituted buddy-politics into the house.
2.)I'm pissed because of the way the appointment went down.
3.)Every active member of the house is pissed off because they know Jarod isn't capable of doing the job right.
4.)Everyone with the exception of Matt and Jarod is convinced I've been screwed over in Gore-like proportions.
