| |
| − | ===08.1===
| |
| − | Dane's 08.1 Hall consisted of the Cryptology guys, including RealCTYers Declan M., Auston S., and Dillon D. His hall was noted for claiming 2nd floor Rosecrans as the Totalitarian Theocracy of Daneistan after being assigned Egypt as a country for Olympics Day. Dane's hall quickly decided that Egypt as a country was rather lackluster, and hence claimed 2nd floor Rosecrans as their own micronation. Banners and flags were made, and Olympics Day was stormed. Other notable events included Dane's CTY Policy Flowchart, which systematically broke down CTY rules based on the reasons behind them. Dane also notably drew a picture of a squid rather than paying attention during Cryptology, which caused strained relations with the Cryptology teacher for the remainder of CTY. Van M. also started a (highly irritating) CTY tradition of greeting Dane with "Hi Dane!", a tradition that has lasted all the way to 09.2. Dane considers this to be a form of heckling. Dane also made an impressive showing at Gladiator Battles, utilizing a huge cardboard hammer constructed by Van M. and Brandon C. named Justice. Dane, however, tragically fell when teammate Serhat turned against him.

| − | ===08.2===
| |
| − | In 08.2, Dane's hall was made up of the Computer Science class, including David Levi [Theremin kid] and John Xia [known for his raving.] Because of doublesessioners, along with the fact that Van had told every second sessioner he knew to say Hi to dane, the HI DANE tradition carried on. At first, it was just with the PCTYD-ers, but after Jackie Allegra C. said it into a mic during the talent show, it spread like wildfire, resulting in a very irritated Dane.
| |
| − | The Bananaphone Activity continued into this session. This session, Dane ran popular activities like "Bananaphone," including "Resident Evil," "Battle Royale," "The Gulag," and many others.
| |
| − | ===09.1===
| |
| − | In 09.1, Dane's hall had the Chemistry A and Chemistry B kids. Notable CTYers in Dane's hall included Pancho and Max Coleman, who apparently looked like Zac Efron. A statistical anomaly was RealCTYer Declan M., who was in Dane's hall for two consecutive years. The Totalitarian Theocracy of Daneistan survived in the altered form of "Daneistan (Like Pakistan)", presumably so as not to be confused with "Dane is tan". Daneistan claimed the study room at the end of Dane's hall as territory; the full name was posted along the glass windows on one side of the room. Pancho (from Chile) became famous for starting off phrases with "In my country...", as well as his political incorrectness, for example: "In my country two men in the same bed is a sign of homosexuality... In my country, two women in the same bed is a sign of success." Pancho was also Dane's hall's "celebrity" during Movie night. Dane's association with Bananaphone continued into 09, with a rendition at the talent show as well as a group hug during the last dance when Bananaphone was played, a hug Dane later described as "intensely uncomfortable." Dane's hall was assigned the sloths for "Survival of the fittest" day, and Dane photoshopped a sloth head over his own head on the Daneistan flag, and passed this out in the form of badges, which were then titled things like "Sloth Overlord", "Darth Sloth", or "Slothimus Prime". Dane's hall then walked around drawling "Sloooth, slooooth, ugggh it's a slooth!"
| |
| − | ===09.2===
| |
| − | Dane's hall in 09.2 consisted of, among others, the Logic class and the Philosophy of Mind class. Notable CTYers in his hall included Reid [Chef hat Kid] and Micheal [Big Mike!]. His hall was known for their cheer- a long, drawled out "Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaane." Dane's godliness continued, spawning activities like "Bananarchy," or "The Dane Exhibit." He also ran activies like "Protest," "Battle Royale," and "Resident Evil." Dane was also murdered by Chris Lee on the first sunday, but came back from the dead shortly afterwards.
| |
| − | The Bananaphone tradition continued. Dane ran an activity called "Bananarchy," but because his speakers had died, it looked like the activity was doomed- until an ukulele was brought forward. All was well.
| |
| − | In 09.2, Dane and fellow epic RA Chris lock seemed to have a rivalry [stemming from Chris Lock's desire/need to be more epic than dane so he could be on RealCTY.] The defining moment of this rivalry was when, on the last wednesday, Dane's Bananarchy stormed Chris Lock's mystery activity with a loud rendition of bananaphone. To counter this, Chris lock and his minions started screaming, "Down with Dane!" Ukuleles went flying, children screamed, RAs looked smugly at each other.

| |
| − | ===Bananaphone===
| |
| − | In 08.1, 08.2, and 09.2, Dane ran Bananaphone, which consisted of the entire activity walking around and serenading other activities through a megaphone. This included walking across the trench activity and other similarly hazardous activities.
| |
| − | ===The Gulag===
| |
| − | In 08.1, 08.2 and 09.1 Dane ran the Gulag in which participants were given bread for rations, had to march from location to location, were given mandatory 'haircuts' and had to make a 'house' out of sponges. At the end the RA Eric tried to stage a rebellion against Dane but it failed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Battle Royale===
| |
| − | In this activity, Dane handed out random items and basically, told all of the students to attack each other with them. Some of the items were useful, like Trench balls, Pool Noodles, Frisbees, Hula Hoops[which rendered a trench ball useless], and some were completely useless, like pipe cleaners, cotton balls, popsicle sticks, and a bucket. After a while, certain areas of the playing field would become deadly, and as the playing field got smaller, people became more vicious. Also, saying Hi to Dane too many times would also kill you.
| |
| − | ===Resident Evil===
| |
| − | In Resident evil, Dane lead a large group of minio-er, zombies and attacked other activities in amusing, and somewhat bizarre, skits. Dane had his characteristic cricket bat [made out of duct tape and cardboard...?]. This activity was always run with Jon Stutte, and even C-bad joined the fight in 09.1.
