is there a definition of recurse anywhere ? I mean like in the encyclopedia or some such ?
IS there a RL holiday that it would seem to correspond with ??
(sorry if this is an obvious type question - the gltichian calendar kinda confuses me...)
It's essentially New Years, I'd say :) The 'month' of recurse lasts one day and comes right after the holiday 'Recurse Eve'. After that it goes to being Primuary 1st, and a grand new Urthly year begins.
I really hope this holiday gets some added content - the first time I looked at the calendar and saw a day called "Recurse Eve," I actually laughed out loud - one of the best puns I've seen in Glitch (and there are so many good ones)!
One tradition on Recurse Eve is to go to the Dragon's Head leaving a note, ranting about all the things you hated about the last year. People, places, events, etc.. (It is poor form to use actual names of people. Better to say "That jerk who took my guano.") Really let it out. Swear at them. Curse even.
And the last line of the note should be something along the lines of "I hate hating." Or something.
Then on the day of Recurse, you drink, eat, and generally be mary.
It is a Giant-less day, associated with none, so it is incredibly bad form to get into Giantalogical discussion of which is the best Giant or which may have been the first Giant, etc.. In fact, many folks dress in the garb of Rooks on Recurse and play harmless pranks (slipping people notes or cups of water, leaving plops on doorsteps, etc.).
