During JHU-1-06 the Genomics class dressed up for the first ever Pirate Day.  Attire consisted of eyeliner beards and mustaches (or just eye liner for a more rugged look), eye patches, cardboard and duct taped swords, head bands, and striped, red, black, white, and/or torn clothing.  Members consisted of full fledged pirates, firates (female pirates), wenches, and ienches (it wenches - no gender).  Honorary titles consisted of Ienchmaster, captain, Dread Pirate Amandark and murse.  The genomics class pirated Tracey's hall, parts of the biology class, a TA (Nick) and an instructor (Tom).  Sword fights were common during pirate day and usually resulted in missing arms, legs, and fingers.  Such duels often resembled parts of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.  During the meet and greet the pirates gave "pillage grams" which consisted of whacking CTYers with cardboard swords, declaring that their village had been pillaged, and giving them the opportuntity to direct the pirates to their next victims.  Such victems were bubblicious, and Andy the RA who was pillaged by an umbrella-turned-sword.

-Edit: There was also a more toned down version of a Pirate Day in Skidmore Session 1 2006.  This was started by a nevermore named Edwin Ma who wished to honor a close friend of his named Andrew Yu who was unable to return in 2006.  This was created due to the fact that Ninja Day (Sucessfully done in 2005 started by Andrew and Edwin) was cancelled because SRA Felicia said that students were not allowed to cover their faces.  Andrew Yu was recognizable in 2005 Session 1 due to the fact that he wore a bandanna on his head like a Pirate everyday, so in Skidmore alongside End of the World Day a large group of people wore either badannas or a t-shirt around their heads pirate style for what Edwin called "Pirate/Andrew Yu Day".  Coincidently due to the fact that so few people had bandannas,(around 6-7 people) many people had to use t-shirts which resulted in looking like people were wearing doo-rags.  This caused many people to instead call this "Gangster Day" which oddly enough "gangster" was a very oftenly used term by Edwin and Andrew and that Edwin was called by people who didn't know him "That gangster Asian" although Edwin repeatedly said he'd rather not be called that.

Siena Session 1 2006 also featured a pirate day, in the form of pirate versus ninja day, on the first friday of the session.  This day featured many people dressed up in the all important character attire but not much actually competition between the two groups as the "vs" suggests.

One thing CTYers are known for is their general weirdness. I personally know CTYers who have spent whole days wearing signs with strange messages on them, and whole classes who have had pillow fights on stage at closing ceremonies. However, these acts weren't well-known or significant. There are some acts of weirdness that are much more well-known or widespread. These earn a place in the The CTY Hall of Fame.

If you wish to add info about famous staff members, name pages with the name the RA was most commonly known by. Famous students or things done by students should be placed in the Hall of Fame pages; most interesting things arise from individuals anyway.

If you are adding something to a Hall of Fame, please do not do so unless it actually is memorable for years to come or had particular significance for your site. Anyone adding something that is pointless or is an inside joke, or who is just trying to look cool by becoming a legend, will have their entries deleted or, if stupid enough, moved to the Hall of Shame.

Sites

The Halls of Fame are divided by site:

NOTE: If your Hall of Fame entry has disappeared, it has probably been moved to Memories. If you are the author and you are wondering why, the likely reason is that people from your site/session agreed that the event or act was not quite as memorable as you may believe it to be. The distinction between HoF and Memories is admittedly a little hazy, but the criterion for deciding where a given entry ends up usually boils down to whether (1) it had lasting effect or (2) it was a large-scale and positive rules protest, change, or breakage; most HoF entries fall into one of these two groups. Many well-known events or stunts that were famous in a given session but not necessarily carried to later years can be found in the Memories pages. If your entry entirely, please contact an admin who will restore it to the proper Memories page, or feel free to put it up there yourself.
