Who came up with this?
Go to the final page...
When I bought the darkstar jr, I decided to read the directions and found this.
That would be yours truly............me!
Here's the story:
I was writing the first of many instructions for Wildman kits. This is an overwhelming amount of work, ya take 1-15 pics for every phase of build just to get the one good one. Hours of typing & formatting + layout. Then more hours of editing the read. On average 39-40 hrs per manual.
You can build several rockets in the amount of time all this takes .You have to stop every time your doing something to stage the pics and get the lighting & view correct.
Anyhow I'm sending Tim copies of the daily progress for him to check, and make changes.
Towards the end I suspect he ain't reading them Soooooo......
I make up the wacky "Wildman Oath" and he never notices. It goes on website and a week or so later he gets some photos of a builder, standing in the moonlight, full moon in background, pouring beer on his Wildman Exteme rocket, with a note stating:
"I have built my rocket and taken the Oath"
I get a call asking what the heck this is all about.
"Did you read the Oath in the manual"?
No, what are you talking about.
"Look it up online and read it!"
He call me back laughing, tells me he likes it & now its official!
So what started out as a gag.....got overlooked...has become legendary.
So know you know..... the rest of the story.
Here is the original for posterity & always remember " failure to comply returns you to MILDMAN status!
