Suggestions Invited.
The Orcs and Hobgoblins have a rivalry. [Insert creative and/or historical explanation of their differing cultures, why and how they hate each other. This is the appropriate place to put songs, info about costumes, etc.]
"Ok, this is what happened last year: BDan, who was orc king, chose
the red eye
logo specifically as a LotR reference. I was told about this (this was
several weeks before the hunt), and it was suggested that I use a white
hand
as a counter reference, but I really didn't _want_ a LotR reference,
especially if there already was one being brought in, so I made
something up.
If it happens to correspond with D&D in some way, that's purely
coincidence.
The point is, it's the prerogative of the two monarchs each year to
choose the
decorations of their respective hordes. My sophomore year the hobgoblin
decorations were lots of white and green face paint, fake blood, and a
different math symbol painted on each hobgoblin's forehead. Last year
it was
a golden fist for hobgoblins and a red eye for orcs, in both cases spray
painted on the garbage bag."

"While Orcs are common
grunts, Hobgoblins are common shouts and rumbles."
