Line-crossing Ceremony

I’m not suppose to talk about it, but its maritime tradition, that whenever you cross a circle of significance (Arctic, Equator, Antarctic) you are suppose to go through a sort of  traditional ceremony. 

I won't tell you here what we had to do, just know that we appeased King Neptune and it was silly and fun, and Wikipedia can tell you the rest ;)
