You could have the initiation be an assignment from Section 7. If
ordeal is used at higher levels of initiation, you could give the player
progressively tougher missions. Sorry if I'm confusing ordeal with
another kind of initiation process.
Or you could send the player thru a 'killing house' scenerio. The
player, armed with simunition rounds [paint/gel] must infiltrate take
out the other members of the team, in an urban or wilderness setting
[the opposing team members would be using simunition also, unless the
gm's REALLY sadistic :-]. This tests his readyness to advance to the
next level. [ the other members of the team should go ALL out to stop
the player, just enough to CHALLENGE him, so he has a pretty good chance
of succeeding, Again, unless the gm is REALLY sadistic. ]
Well, that was probably completely off track. Hope it helped you
out a little.
