The First Saga

The First Saga is more of a tradition in NSA.

Every time a new club or team is released, everybody wants their name as the first post. This tradition was formed in 2019, when NSA switched from FirstClass to Teams, as just a fun joke. It usually involves a person posting "FIRST", and they others posting "second", "third", or "Seven hundred Million" (To be silly), to show the order they "joined".

It can be objectively stated that if you don't post on that thread, you never arrive. And that even the first post does not count, and that the first post is objectively the thread that starts the bragging rights war. If you post "FIRST" and are the first thread to do so, you can brag about how you were first to be in that team or channel.

In summary, be first to new teams, and watch out and post to show that you were truly first. And a area is never inaugurated until this post shows up.

As a side note I'd like to point out Cody Johnson (who was a long term StuCo member, and eventual president) attempted to stop these threads (unfortunately I have no screenshots or exact quotes), likely something to the point of "it's not the intended purpose of the channel" however it never stopped a new thread from starting with every new channel, and often didn't stop people from continuing it anyways. So, in memory of him I often reference his turning in his grave *as I reply and add my number to the list* :D
