Contract = Cliquing (not "clicking", dman it!) Like, fer instance, looking the wrong way at someone, negative comments about the program.
close, a contract was two or more people breaking one, or several rules Together. i>e me n nazi joking around makes us a goofing contract. or if we were planning to split we were a split contract.
Spread your action = No contact with the person you had a contract with (no newcomers talking to newcomers)
i dont know about this, but new kids didnt talk without strength being aware of the conversation. Strength being a level of expeditor or above at a trusted position.
Shot down = Like a startover, but no pretense of having to do with time.
shotdowns only had time. Time to scrub floors for days months some even years on end. I knew many who scrubbed their time away there.
im sure most is the same everywhere its just the people who enforce the program that make it. Elan was definetly peer related, to the point they enjoyed no one trusting anyone (at a peer level). If you were lucky you made some real friends you could trust.
Definetly a jail house mentality. I couldnt play spades though. no cards or anything like that, i bet they would have banned chutes n ladders if some one brought it with them.
