The 4AD war...

I thought I would touch on this question that has been posted by many people whenever I start talking about it. This thing is the 4A-4D war that has been going on from last year. So without further ado:

Q: What in the world is the 4A-4D war, how did it start, and what is the current condition now???
A: Hey, I'm using the Q&A format that I used for my last post. As I had said, I would be occasionally using this format to write my post. This would be a sort of intermission before I get started on my Frequently Asked Question (Part 2), so don't worry, there will be more questions com-

Q: Can you get on with it?!
A: Okok, just wanted to type some intro. Stop poking me...
Anyway, the 4A-4D war started sometime in January this year. We did have a small little conflict during our combined chemistry remedial where my class people (4D) started creating clouds of smoke by blowing prickly heat into the air. 4A people, as you can expect, aren't exactly too happy about it...

Anyway, the war officially started in January. On that day, we were enduring a rather boring lesson and everyone was trying to keep themselves awake. Boyuan, who was most likely bored stiff, was in control of the remote control that controls the air-conditioning. Before I continue the story, the layout of the area around our classroom should be observed:
|-------|---|--------|
|....B....|.....|....C.....|
|..........|.....|............|
|------ |.....|--------|
|..........|.....|............|
|.....A..|.....|.....D....|
|..........|.....|............|
|-------|---|--------|
*The letters represent the classes and how they are positioned. Notice that windows are only present on the right and left of the classroom. The blank area in the middle is the corridor...

Anyway, Boyuan was bored. He casually flicked the air-con remote at the window and pressed the on-off button. He than slowly turned to face the opposite class and realised that 4A air-con has been switched off...

Anyway, the rest of the boys in class was deeply interested in the revelation that we can actually control all the air-con in the classrooms in the area. At that point in time, the 4 classes that are shown here have their recess at the same time. During recess, our class people started sniping at 4A with our remote control, whenever the air-con was switched off or on, we responded with uncontrollable laughter, the funniest part being that the 4A people did not realised that their air-con has been switched off.

Have you ever played CS? Seen those pro snipers play before? Ya, we were something like that. Jump up, shoot, duck, and laugh...

After a while, 4A people eventually noticed, but they did not really do much. Now that 4A people had noticed, we decided to do it in a way to avoid detection. Heard of the OHP? Three people will be needed to do the below mentioned method of the "switching off air-con without being detected":
-The first person is the shooter and he is responsible for aiming the remote so that it would shoot at the mirror of the OHP to be reflected to the air-con of the neighbouring class.
-The second person is the aimer and is responsible for adjusting the tilt of the mirror to accomodate the shooter.
-The third person is the spotter, and his job is to announce to everyone one else whether or not the lights on the air-con flashed and whether or not the air-con is switched off, which will usually send everyone into racous laughter...

Very soon, we were thinking of using mirrors to reflect their shots should 4A decide to retaliate by switching our air-con as well. So it would be like, shoot, duck, raise the mirror...

This was the start of the famous air-con war...

Of course, it didn't end there..
Boyuan, getting a bit bored of only attacking 4A classroom, took our class remote, walked up and down the corridor, came back and reported that all other classes air-cons are now off...
After a while, a person from our class went to 4B classroom, and switched off 4C air-con. 4C, thinking that 4B has attacked them, started an air-con war with 4B. This started the air-con war between 4C and 4B..

Not long after, a person from 4A came into our class and asked us to stop aiming their air-con, and also commented on the fact that our classroom is very smelly, which brought in another fresh round of racous laughter. Well, its quite true that our air freshener tends to make the class smelly instead, but what they probably don't know is that earlier on that day, someone from 4C had taken our air freshener and sprayed it all over their air-con filter. So technically, their classroom will be even more smelly...

Much later, Tang Wei Guo, president of the student councillor and member of class 4A, strode boldly into our class and asked for his class air-con remote back. In case you are wondering, the air-con remote is originally ours, so, Wei Guo? asking for his air-con remote back?!
Anyway, that provoked us to write things on paper and paste them on the window facing 4A classroom as a sort of protest. This included things like:
"One Classroom, One Remote"
"We switch off air-con as we conserve the environment"
"The air-con remote belongs to us"
"That is our air-con remote, not yours..."

The air-con war ended when the diplomats (teacher) of each country decided that if further conflict occur having anything to do with air-con, terrible things will happen. Something like UN will send in troops to take all necessary actions...

Q: Are there any other [fun] conflicts that has happened?
A: Ya. Around May, during lesson time. One councillor was placing our cleanliness grades up for the month of April and she was doing it outside our classroom. Our exams were over so the teachers were pretty relaxed than. Anyway, CYX opened the door to show us our cleanliness grade to great applause as we got a 'B'. We then noticed the councillor placed a 'C' for 4A...
Which you can expect, a great celebration occured inside the class...

The comment during our celebration by dear Zhi Peng of my class:
"If they get F, we get C. If they get C, we get B. If they get B, we get A. If they get A, we get........ A*"

Q: Are there any other [fun] conflicts coming up?
A: Yup. We are scheduled to have a few chemistry remedial with 4A. Thus if we are able to find a can of prickly heat somewhere, clouds would probably be sent into the air again...

Q: Wow, this is a really long post... Just like a typical post length. Why do you have to write this long?
A: I thought I explained about it before? or do you want me to retype the whole answer in long form here?

Q: Eh... No thanks...
A: That's more like the way you should treat the author of this post

Q: Who's the author?
A: ....
