Charter of DICKHEAD
Article I – Purpose and Pettiness
Let it henceforth be known that the undersigned Gnomish Gentlefolk, being of sound(ish) mind and mischievous mechanical inclination, do establish the D.I.C.K.H.E.A.D; the Department of Intellectual Copyrights, Kinetic Hacks, Engineering And Devicecraft. Society for the solemn purpose of:
- Claiming full credit (and payment) for any and all explosions, contraptions, mechanisms, gizmos, doodads, or otherwise brilliant inventions produced by their busy and superior brains.
- Ensuring that no lazy halfwit may plagiarize, replicate, or misuse said creations without facing dire consequences, including but not limited to: strongly worded letters, enchanted cease-and-desist pigeons, or the sudden and inexplicable deployment of gremlin swarms.
Article II – Membership Requirements
To become a member of this prestigious (and mildly suspicious) society, one must:
- Possess at least one invention that either goes bang, zorp, whistle-hum, or was not meant to do that, but interesting.
- Have been denied credit for an invention at least once and complained about it for a minimum of three hours.
- Wear an official badge, cravat, lapel pin, or monocle engraved with the D.I.C.K.H.E.A.D. crest (pending design, but definitely including gears and at least one lightning bolt).
Article III – Mutual Respect, Mutual Discount
In the spirit of shared innovation, fellow members of the Society shall provide a 10% discount on goods, services, blueprints, moderately volatile prototypes, or licensed mayhem, should the need arise and proof of membership be presented (ideally in the form of a card, a secret handshake, or recitation of the traditional D.I.C.K.H.E.A.D. motto: “Boom with integrity.”).
This clause may not be invoked during tavern bets, bar fights, or active heists (unless mutually agreed upon in advance via eyebrow waggling).
Article IV – Charter Signatories
The Founding Members hereby affirm their commitment to inventiveness, chaos, copyright enforcement, and confusing paperwork.Signed this most hallowed day, likely a Tuesday but potentially a Thursday (we forgot to check),
