Status given to one who has earned it simply through being witty. Sheer
banter alone may not determine whether or not one is a Living Legend. The minimum skills required to obtain Living Legend status are as follows:
-Must have an average comeback time no greater than
2.9 seconds.
-Must be able to inflict a
third degree burn with no more than three insults.
-Must be able to insult any stereotype without using stereotypes.
-Must never use the same insults multiple times in one month.
-Must live by the motto of
the Society of
Banter: "Originality is key".
To officially be granted Living Legend status, one must pass the Society of Banter
initiation test, a self-invigilated practical examination where candidates must successfully take on and defeat three random opponents in a battle of
wits, over the time period of one hour. This is easiest judged by the magnitude of the observing
crowd's roar. The greater in volume their appreciation of banter is, the more certain one can be that they have won. If the opposite is true, in that the observing crowd's roar is louder for one's opponent, one must admit defeat and declare aloud: "I have failed the Society of Banter initiation test. I am not a Living Legend." If this is the case, one must wait one month without attempting to engage in a battle of wits with anyone, before attempting the initiation test again.
