Does anyone else suspect that EPIIC is a cult? Let's review the symptoms:

1. Strangely close group dynamic that excludes all others and makes members feel "special"
2. Insanely ridiculous group requirements that no one in their right mind would attempt, yet members take in stride
3. Charismatic, overly tan leader who encourages this "special" feeling, whom members think is the next messiah and everyone else thinks is really ****ing weird

Conclusion: After thorough examination, EPIIC is deemed less culty than Scientology, but more culty than a cappella groups. Be aware.
