:Gunther shakes his head sadly.
"A... what?"
*Message when completing it:<br>
:You swiftly show Olaf who's boss, and he walks away, dejected, rubbing his bicep.


:"Bravo, Initiate," says Gunther. "You now have permission to use the Brotherhood's meatcar. Olaf will tell you where he parked it."

*Message before doing it:<br>
:"One more task," says Gunther, "and you will be a full member of the Brotherhood of the Smackdown.


:The challenge is this: you must eat this entire 72-ounce steak in one sitting."
"Did you bring back a sausage for your initiation?"
*Message when failing it:
:You manage to eat most of the steak, but you can't finish the last few bites.
:"Try again when you're a little tougher," says Gunther.
*Message when completing it:<br>
:You easily polish off the steak.


:Gunther smiles. "Welcome to the Brotherhood of the Smackdown, <name>." he says.
"I'm still working on it," you reply.


Eating the 72-ounce steak does ''not'' violate [[Boozetafarian]] or [[Oxygenarian]] conduct.
"Remember, it has to be a really big one!"


===Fourth task===
"You know, I always heard it wasn't the size of the sausage that was important, but the condiments you use to garnish it."
*The fourth task is to perform 500 chin-ups, which may succeed if your (buffed) muscle is 20 or greater (higher is more likely to succeed). 
*Message before doing it:<br>
:Though you are now a full member, you must further prove yourself in order to gain access to our Guild store, the Smacketeria. I'd say... 500 chinups would do the trick.
*Message when failing it:<br>
:After 100 chinups, you're feeling good. After 200 chinups, you're feeling not so good. After 300 chinups, you're feeling pretty bad. After 400 chinups, you're feeling the floor hit you in the face.


:"Perhaps you should try again when you're stronger," says Gunther.
"That sort of talk is not going to get you into the Brotherhood of the Smackdown," Gunther growls.
*Message when completing it:<br>
:You grab the bar, and begin to do chinups. It starts to get pretty difficult at number 450, but you redouble your efforts, and complete the challenge.


:"Enjoy the Smacketeria," says Gunther.
*''Returning with an [[11-inch knob sausage]]''


===Message after completion===
You pull out your giant sausage and give it to Gunther. He looks suitably impressed.
:You have already passed all of the challenges of your Guild.
 
"Eleven inches!" he exclaims. "That's the biggest one I've seen since that Holmes fella joined, back in '72!"
 
He shakes your hand and reaches around to give you a firm pat on the back. "Well done, initiate! Welcome to the Brotherhood of the Smackdown!
 
You should talk to Torg if you want to train some skills. And see the guy at the Smacketeria about getting some provisions.
 
Oh, and if you want to use the guild Meatcar, talk to Olaf, the janitor."
