For some of us being a recruit was never an option, for others it was just a very long time ago... so what would you do if you were able to be a recruit for a day. Would you be a good little recruit and practice all your formations and not terrorise the novices? Or, would you be the one up to their necks in it and spend the whole day in Jaim Gaidin's office for TP-ing the garrison? This month I spoke to a few members about what they would do if they were a recruit for a day.

"Well as my novice prank I...I mean "someone" spray painted the garrison So as a Recruit for a day...maybe I would retaliate and put mice or snakes in the novices' laundry baskets. " - Tsubasa

"If I were a recruit for a day, I would most definitelty be a good lil Recruit and not cause any trouble." - Anirfyan Sedai

"I would hands down cause trouble. I was only a novice for a week when I started, and an Accepted for 3 weeks, so I never had much time to pull pranks. I would light the stable on fire with explosives and bring some over to Dom Gaidin's office too, since he likes those so much. I would also probably paint a mural on the outside of the Tower to allow it to become more pretty. I would also love to put bubbles into the water feature. " - Katarianna Sedai

"I think I would profit in learning my fellow recruits (provided that all the real recruits weren't transformed to Aes Sedai or something) because I know way too little of the male side of the Tower. In addition, I think Jaim Gaidin is awesome, so I'd follow him and hope that he'd teach me to use the cool stabbities as well. " - Natalya Sedai

"IF I was a recruit for a day.....I would most definitely play as many pranks on as many gaidins as I could find so that I would have to spend the Whhhoooooollllllle day in Jaim Gaidin's office.....and suffer whatever punishments as might be given........ " - Miridyth Sedai

"Anyway, if I were a recruit for a day the first thing I'd do is offer to redecorate Captain Jaim's office then I'd come up with some insanely creative prank for him - I'm not going into details coz he's my near-bro n such and you never know when these things might come in handy " - Manora Sedai

Interestingly no men responded to my questions... perhaps they're all too busy being recruits!
