    In high school we started a secret order, made a logo and symbols that we printed into stickers and would hide around the school in weird hidden places, even published a fake newspaper that we left around referencing it’s mythology and origins.

    About 4 years after we all graduated I heard that apparently someone replaced the national anthem tape with one repeating the order’s phrases and terms.

    My god I hope that train keeps running away.

      Nice.

      My version is not as good, but may amuse you as thanks for sharing your story.

      I once started a joke secret society in an MMO, only to be forgotten within a day, and then (gleefully) be reinducted a couple days later by a total stranger as a new member.

      The induction nonsense had changed enough within that couple of days that I think I made a pretty convincing new recruit.

      Though I think I caused some confusion when I changed outfits - I forgot that I had not yet “been told” the secret dress code. Oops. I think everyone then realized something was up, but chalked it up to secret society intrigues.
