Inept Engineers

Defining Characteristics

The Inept Engineers' main defining characteristic is that everyone has an ineptitude. Yes, everyone. And that isn't just OK - it is amazing. Other strongly held principles are that each person should get to choose their own level of involvement (whether that's a little or a lot), that they help each other, and that no one should drink the Ship's Water. The main purpose of this camp is to have a very good time - and as the meaning of that will vary by the individual, the ship sports a diverse set of people and interests. There is no single unifying era or aesthetic that describes the group as a whole - their ship has wandered to many places across time and thus boasts many personas!

History

The Inept Engineers were founded (and primarily reside) in the Canton of Summergate, with numerous members in the rest of the Barony of Calafia and a few others scattered across Caid. The story of their founding is a tale best told by firelight and they delight in sharing it with others. As such, the only real way to learn it is to come by their camp and inquire. While the only two official events that they attend en masse are Potrero War and Great Western War, their members can sometimes be found at events across the entire Known World.

House Values

• Be safe.
• Do nothing which will cause more negative attention than positive attention.
• Help your fellow Engineers.
• Don't drink the Ship's Water.

Leadership and Structure

The Inept Engineers are led by a Trifecta composed of five individuals - Tri meaning "three", fecta meaning "plus two". There are also many other positions which assist in the running and maintenance of the ship, including a Sisterhood which assists the Quartermaster and a Cabin Boy who also serves as a diplomat.
