Redundant Meetings > Meetings of the Ancients > Template of the Ancient Greeks

Meetings were an ancient Greek innovation, where they would gather in a circle, speak loudly, and nod their heads in agreement, while secretly planning the downfall of their enemies.

Key principles:

• Start with a rousing speech, preferably involving a hero from Greek mythology
• Absentee ballots, because who needs democracy?
• Unlimited olives, because, well, priorities
• Decide on a random, unrelated topic to ensure the meeting stays on track
• Adjourn with a rousing chorus of "Opa!"

Guests are optional, but strongly encouraged, as long as they bring a nice bottle of ouzo.
