It is time to cosplay neurotypical people and create pointless arbitrary rules to follow brought forth through the medium of cards. 1001 cards is where we create cards with completely different rules.

I literally cannot specify this any further. When I say anything I mean anything. Last time we were forced to listen to the musical masterpiece that is Jackie's box, a poor soul got sent to a bar numerous times and a guy died. Twice.

To join in the anarchy meet us at V-bar at 8pm then at D/L/047 for 8:30 pm

It's time to utilise your degrees in yapology as this week's events is full circle aka competitive autism. The goal of this event is to go on as many rants/tangents as possible and return to the first topic.

Who will we crown the victor?

Join us at V- bar at 8pm and at D/L/047 for 8:30pm

Hey all, sorry about the lack of effort for this week post. I've been srewed so hard by both my assignments and my mental health that I'm pregnant and I don't know who the father is.

Anyway this week's events is stupid werewolf yay. Same rules apply as last time. It's a game of social deduction with wacky characters sprinkled. Just like dougsoc. Except for the murder. But there's still time I suppose.

Last time on the first round we have a kill streak of 6 on the first round. I would like to thank everyone for this achievement as well as ask to push ourselves so we can smash the goal to bits

We meet at the bar of v at 8 pm and then go to D/L/047 at 8:30pm. Hope to see you there.

It's time to sit back and unwind with dougsoc. This week is a lovely picnic. Food will be prepared by our own sandwich rep with different allergies in mind. The event will be from 6-8 at the field behind the library.

All douglings are welcome to this event! This includes those who have graduated already, those who have been forcibly transmutated to ducks by the student union, our friends who have transcended the mortal realm into 

T H E B E Y O N D  

and even those from James college!

If you are planning on coming please make sure to RSvp with form in the discord. It helps to know how much food we need. Blankets would also be greatly appreciated!

It is with a heavy that i must confess something to you my fellow douglings.

Every one of us is steeped wite sin.

Our glorious leader has brought woke into wholesome christian battle. My predecessor has failed to put us on grindr. Even I have fallen from grace, instead making pregnant art of donald trump.

Fortunately our sins will be cleansed by this week event; Specs Ops where we will use holy water* to spray each other with water guns.

Join us at this holy event at V-bar 6pm where we will journey to the battlefield/ Holy temple of heslington hill( the one behind the library) at 6;30 pm

Please remember to bring towels and spare clothes. The baptism will not work if you die of hypothermia

*The water has not actually been blessed by a priest so some would say its noy holy. But i essay god created the water therefore it is so suck it

Trouble in paradise! The once stable marriage between dougsoc and yorquestria has fallen .Our parents are fighting! There's only one thing to do… have a family get together! I'm sure nothing will get too awkward…

They’ll be games, food and karaoke! You can also bring your own snack to share.

The awkwardness will be from 7 pm  to 9:30 pm in P/T/007. I really hope the divorce wasn't my fault

[dougsoc]

This week the furries have gone wild! Instead of making biological questionable fanart they've turned their sights to murders. Its up to the villagers to suss out the wolves. But what is the chupacabra? And what does the shit seer see? We meet at V-bar at 8pm and then journey to D/L/047 at 8:30 pm. We hope to see you there!

[dougsoc]

Are you really bored and do not want to watch Titanic for the 67th time? Have you got a kinapee who you need to torture? Or do you just hate yourself that much? Whatever the case, come on down to dougsoc for a bad movie night. Where we watch a bad movie just because. Meet at v bar at 8 pm for some much needed prep time before heading down to the torture chamber D/L/047 at 8:30!

They have failed us. York Su the government, the world. People in desperate need of answers but none to be found. How are we supposed to fix our problems? What solutions could possibly save us? As the world gave into despair. The council of dougsoc joined to do what was right. To grant the world one last hope….

Tonight's event will be fixing first world problems! That's right we are dredging it back from the dead to ask the qualified douglings what the hell to do with their lives. We meet at V- bar at 8pm  then journey down to the council room (D/L/047) at 8:30!

[dougsoc]

This week’s event is… DougMural!

It’s a bit like Art Attack!, in that we do creative things, but there’s a twist!

We have a big roll of paper! And we’re going to do multimedia on it! And hopefully, this’ll become our new committee handover tradition, because Throwing Things From High Places… just ain’t it anymore.

So! Join us, in 20:00 V-Bar or 20:30 D/L/047 to make your mark on DougSoc history!

[dougsoc]

[dougsoc]

This week’s event was to be decided by the people. The people have spoken. This week… is DougWar.

This week’s event is Minigames! (with Pancakes. Featuring Sparklers.)

As you may or may not have noticed, tomorrow is Pancake Day! We like pancakes!

Unfortunately, we can’t spend the entire evening eating pancakes, so we’re doing minigames as well!

And sparklers, I guess, because we…forgot to do those on Bonfire Night.

V-Bar, 20:00 Tues 17th or D/L/047 from 20:30.
