 ====== Corporal Punishment ======
-RIGHT then, recruit. You've JUST STUMBLED through the NEWHOME GATES, and you DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. If Improbable Island were an OFFLINE GAME, you would PROBABLY have an INSTRUCTION MANUAL that you would then BLOODY IGNORE in favor of GETTING KNOCKED OUT in your FIRST FIGHT. CORPORAL PUNISHMENT is a lot like said MANUAL, if that manual would YELL AT YOU in a vain effort to get you to PAY ATTENTION ALREADY.

-Found in BASIC TRAINING, the Corporal is not even remotely concerned with concepts like THE FOURTH WALL and INDOOR VOICES. He'll explain BASIC GAMEPLAY to you at ANY TIME - useful if you've been away a while and discovered THE WHOLE GAME has changed while you WEREN'T LOOKING.((YES, even if you've PLAYED A LOT and have EARNED A DRIVE KILL. Just because you have CAT EARS now doesn't mean you're TOO GOOD to LEARN.)) The Corporal is also SURPRISINGLY INSIGHTFUL REGARDING INTERNATIONAL SLANG and has pointers on how not to UPSET VIEWERS by using LANGUAGE that means something VERY DIFFERENT to what you THINK it MEANS.

-While the CORPORAL does have some general POINTERS on what the Island is like, you REALLY should talk to his [[characters:npc:misterstern|GOOD FRIEND MISTER STERN]] about all that.

-RUMORS that the CORPORAL is an ACTOR for the Network getting PAID BY THE DECIBEL are ONLY SLIGHTLY UNFOUNDED.
