'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munchkin_%28card_game%29 Munchkin]''' is a non-collectible card game published by Steve Jackson Games. It became a Sim phenomenon when member [[Ben Paul]] brought in his ''Munchkin Cthulhu'' and ''Muchkin Fu'' games early in the summer of [[2006-07]]. They began to be played at lunch and both before and after school, and other members brought in their own sets, such as [[Brian Foo|Brian]] and [[Alex Foo]]s' ''Munchkin Impossible'' and [[Nevin Hotson]]'s ''Star Munchkin''.It was banned from the [[Sim Office]] halfway through [[2007-08]]. It was then unbanned in [[2008-09]]. <br />

==Sim Munchkin==<br />
Several Spacesim members attempted to design their own "Sim Munchkin", but this project was abandoned in June '07 when the [[forum]]s were hacked, carrying the project with it. This project was restarted in May 2010 by [[Ben Paul]] using his saved notes.<br />

<br />
'''Memes''' are jokes, phrases, or events that have become part of Sim Culture. They are usually based off mission events and nerd culture. The following list is presented in alphabetical order.<br />
<br />
==Catclan==<br />
[[Image:Catclan.jpeg|right|thumb|200px|Catclan Logo]]<br />
<br />
Created during the [[2009-10]] year by [[Charlotte Bonyun]]. The concept started out with [[Becca Kalinger]] being nicknamed "Spazzcat" due to her very cat-like manners and habits, but eventually expanded and named a large variety of people within [[Spacesim]]. <br />
<br />
Rules for the naming of a Catclan member to-be have evolved with the group; a tendency to have the names start with the letter "s" became a rule, a spelling quirk made by the first male member, Spartakat (later [[Stargakat]]), having the ending with a "k" instead of a "c" became a rule for all following male members. A tacit rule also has the nicknames kept to three syllables or less, excluding the "cat/kat." <br />
<br />
According to [[Charlotte Bonyun]], a Catclan name becomes official once she hears of it.<br />
<br />
===Catclan Members===<br />
<br />
*Sarcasmkat ([[Ian Martin]])<br />
*Sarcastikat ([[Euan Wheaton]])<br />
*Sasscat ([[Charlotte Bonyun]])<br />
*Seizurekat ([[Nick Goddard]])<br />
*Siliconkat ([[Alex Mendes]])<br />
*Slayerkat ([[Morgan Mersereau]])<br />
*Skullkat ([[Jackson Clarke]])<br />
*Spacekat ([[Christian Angel]])<br />
*Spazzcat ([[Becca Kalinger]])<br />
*Squeecat ([[Cheyenne Carty]])<br />
*Stargakat ([[Chen-tao LaRochelle]])<br />
<br />
==The Final Countdown==<br />
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt_ro2aerQg&feature=fvw The Final Countdown] is a song by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe_%28band%29 Europe] that became popular in [[Spacesim]] in [[2009-10]]. It was notably used as a preface to the countdown for [[Daedalus 2010]] and as a wake-up song for the final day of that mission. The song is regularly played in the Habitat during [[training missions]] and in the [[Interlock]] or [[Command and Control]] during [[work sessions]].<br />
<br />
==The Game==<br />
The Game is frequently played by members of Spacesim. To play The Game, please go [http://www.losethegame.com/ here.]<br />
<br />
==McSquiggly==<br />
<br />
A phenomenon on the [[Forums]] started by [[Bryce Storey]], the forums' censor filter was used to replace all instances of the word "and" with the words "and McSquiggly and". For example, "We are currently working on doors and the sub" would be rendered as "We are currently working on doors and McSquiggly and the sub." It is assumed that the original purpose was to see how long it would take someone to post something on the forums asking about what was going on. The first person to do this was [[Ian Martin]], two months after the inception of McSquiggly. It was later revealed that Forums' administrators [[Ben Paul]] and [[Maclean Rouble]] had been in on the joke from the beginning. Possibly after complaints, Bryce censored McSquiggly to ''"I'm Hanging onto dying traditions."'' A [http://forums.spacesim.org/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=365 thread of the forum] was dedicated to the death of McSquiggly, and it was a rather sombre affair until [[Samuel Baltz]] discovered that MCSQUIGGLY in all caps was not censored.<br />
<br />
==Monetary Surplus==<br />
<br />
Monetary Surplus is a euphemism for the [[Planetary Surface]], used as a means of maintaining [[mission integrity]]. It came into fruition leading up to [[Mission]] [[Daedalus 2010]]. [[Euan Wheaton]] invented the phrase after purposely mishearing someone saying "planetary surface". Many jibes at Spacesim's financial situation followed the phrase's invention.<br />
<br />
==Nicely Done, Bryce==<br />
[[Image:Nicelydonebryce.JPG|right|thumb|200px|The "Nicely Done, Bryce" sign.]]<br />
<br />
The Nicely Done, Bryce sign was created during [[Mission]] [[Daedalus 2010]] by acting [[Flight Director]] [[Ben Paul]] written written on a white 8*11 paper in the [[Spacesim Office]], and addressed [[astronaut]] [[Bryce Storey]]. It was created when Bryce, during dialog with [[Mission Control]] made a particularly funny joke about astronaut [[Euan Wheaton]]. The sign was held up to the [[CAPCOM]] webcam for the benefit of the Habitat crew. The sign was then presented whenever Bryce would accomplish any noteworthy action, such as overpressurising the Airlock later in that same mission.<br />
<br />
===Original Dialog===<br />
Preceding the conversation [[Mission Control]] was certain that it had heard Bryce Storey ending his sentences with "over" while talking to [[Euan Wheaton]], and wanted to make sure that he hadn't been trying to talk to MC.<br />
<br />
Mr. Baltz: "Lt. Storey, are you talking to us? Over."<br />
:Lt. Storey: "No, I was talking to Euan."<br />
Mr. Baltz: "Then why were you ending your sentences with 'over'? Over."<br />
:Lt. Storey: "Because I was talking to Euan. It's like talking to someone a million miles away."<br />
<br />
==Phrases==<br />
<br />
*"Imma firin' ma lazar! BAAAH!"<br />
*"Its all over yar face!!"<br />
*"SHAWG!"<br />
*"IT'S OVER '''9000'''"<br />
*"Rectum? Damn near killed'em!"<br />
*"PART OF THE SHIP: PART OF THE CREW"<br />
<br />
==Trogdor==<br />
[[Image:Picture 1057.png|right|thumb|200px|His general appearance.]]<br />
<br />
Trogdor the Burninator is a cartoon character from ''Homestar Runner'' animated movies first appearing in the ''sbemail'' [http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail58.html "Dragon"] where "kaizer" from California wanted to know if Strong Bad could draw a dragon. Strong Bad's first attempt fails (he ends up writing "The S is for sucks"). He tries again (using what he refers to as "Consumate '''V'''s") and creates Trogdor the Burninator.<br />
<br />
Trogdor has been part of [[Sim Culture]] at least since witty [[Spacesim]] members created their own version of the song and wrote it on the [[Habitat]] in the allotted space during [[Signing the Airlock]]. The Spacesim lyrics, thought to be written by [[Stefan De Young]], replaces such lines as "Burninating all the peoples and their THATCHED ROOF COTTAGES!" with "Burninating all the astros in their [[drywall|DRYWALL]] HABITAT!" A handwritten copy of the original lyrics from the the heavy metal song about Trogdor is posted in the [[Sim Office]], but it is inaccurate. Instead of having two "TROGDOR!"s, it has three.<br />
<br />
==We All Live In A Drywall Habitat==<br />
<br />
''We All Live In A Drywall Habitat'' is a parody of the ''Beatles'' song ''Yellow Submarine''. The song describes astronauts running around the [[Habitat]] screaming the lyrics at the top of their lungs and banging very hard on every wall of the habitat.<br />
<br />
The song was first sung during the [[2008-09]] mission [[Genesis 2009|Genesis]] to [[Iapetus]]. During the mission there were no set lyrics, but afterward the lyrics to the song were typed up and posted on the wall of the habitat by [[Zola Magwood]].<br />
<br />
==Zarr==<br />
"Zarr" is a phrase invented by [[Cheyenne Carty]] as an amalgamation of the words "is" and "are." The phrase is used by members of Spacesim when giving each other props. The opposite of Zarr is Tard, though logically it should be Rraz.<br />
<br />
The Zarr is initiated when a person is observed to be doing something props-worthy. If a Zarr is initiated to celebrate an action of the initiator, that person should be Tarded by hitting their outstretched fist in the style of "Bloody Knuckles." In the case where the target of Zarr is too distant, a Chain-Zarr may be initiated, where a Zarr is passed from person to person until reaching the intended recipient.</div>TheDoctorhttp://wiki.spacesim.org/index.php/Wade_TheriaultWade Theriault2014-03-01T00:20:22Z<p>TheDoctor: Updated for info from 2014</p>
