Residential Life busted for quirky card gaming habits
Residential Life staffers were discovered indulging in the 11-year-old pastime of Magic: The Gathering during work hours over spring break, a disgruntled former employee of the office said.
“They just sat there, their entire bodies consumed by the cards in their hands in front of them,” the witness said. “It was like they were in a cult and controlled by a cardboard god. I think I heard the name Cthulhu once or twice.”
The witness said the office was abuzz with game-related jargon, none of which she could recall or understand.
The discovery enraged Hamline Students for Catholicism (HUSC), which promptly condemned Residential Life’s actions.
“The game is like tarot cards. The mere presence of those satanic tools in the same room is blasphemeous to God Almighty, the creator of Heaven and Earth,” one HUSC member said.
Residential Life Director Patti Klein said her staff was taking an extended lunch break when the game began, and that no wrongdoing took place.
“They are just cards and are not produced by any religious organization,” she said. “Any satanic accusations are completely untrue.”
