Don't Be a Darkwad!

A Guide to Not Being a Darkwad

Denizens of Reclaim, prepare yourselves for a comprehensive manual on how to successfully navigate the enchanting realm of the Razorgrass at Mosaic Experiment without succumbing to the unfortunate label of Darkwads. In the following guide, we will delve into the paramount importance of light and offer invaluable advice that will ensure you shine brightly throughout the night. So, gather your glow sticks, brace yourselves, and get ready to be enlightened by our thoughtful and helpful tutorial.

Defining Darkwads: Embracing Illumination

Imagine a figure emerging from the shadows, struggling to find their way through the enveloping darkness. These individuals, known as Darkwads, are unfortunately unaware of the profound significance of luminosity in their twilight wanderings. It is our purpose to shed light on this matter and inspire all to embrace the power of the bulb, thus avoiding the plight of the Darkwads.

Lighting, Darling: Form Meets Function (Somewhat)

The sheer beauty of adorning oneself with a vibrant array of dazzling lights at Mosaic Experiment is undeniable. However, let us not forget that lighting serves a purpose beyond mere fashion and self-expression. Take delight in adorning yourself with LED bracelets that gleam in the darkness, confidently don EL wire that outlines your every move, or enchantingly drape yourself in fairy lights, transforming into a walking disco ball. By doing so, you will not only blaze your own path but also ensure that you are not mistaken for a lost creature in the depths of the night.

Front and Back: Guiding the Way

To all the intrepid midnight rovers, it is of paramount importance to always remember a vital rule: brighten both your front and back. Do not be fooled into thinking that a single blinking accessory will suffice. Instead, let the rays in front of you guide your every step, while those emanating from your rear protect unsuspecting passersby from becoming unwitting participants in an impromptu and potentially hazardous obstacle course. By being a shining beacon amidst the chaos of the shadows, you will not only safeguard your own journey but also contribute to the safety and well-being of those around you.

Striking a Balance: Illumination without Blinding

We fully acknowledge the irresistible allure of mesmerizing lighting. However, dear Darkwads, it is crucial to exercise restraint and maintain a delicate equilibrium. Avoid transforming yourself into a blinding supernova that disrupts and disorients those in your vicinity. Instead, seek the perfect balance where your gentle glow reveals your own path while remaining considerate of others. It is an art that requires finesse and attentiveness, but we have every confidence that you possess the necessary skills to master this delicate dance.

Plan Ahead: It's Just Common Sense

Preparation is the key to a truly radiant experience at Mosaic Experiment. Do not leave your lighting needs to chance or whimsy. Instead, adopt the mindset of a responsible burner and ensure that you are well-equipped with an ample supply of extra batteries. By doing so, you guarantee that your glistening presence will persist throughout the night, without the unfortunate defeated retreat to camp, lamenting the lack of sparkling accessories. Exhibit foresight and readiness, for the eagerly awaiting Razorgrass yearns for your presence to glow resplendently within its enchanting embrace.


Congratulations, enlightened comrades, for you now possess the profound wisdom required to transcend the status of Darkwads at Mosaic Experiment. Embrace the alluring art of incandescence, where practicality seamlessly intertwines with creativity, and illuminate your nights at the burn with resplendent style, unwavering safety, and undeniable charm. Venture forth through the mystical Razorgrass like a shimmering star, leaving those lost Darkwads to wander aimlessly in the shadows of their own ignorance. You, my dear luminous souls, possess the steadfast capability to achieve this magnificent feat and set the night ablaze with your brilliance!
