Just making sure. This sounds pretty fun! So, in the 'real' game where we're guessing, we also have to deal with the Sue, either through concrit or cleverness?

Perhaps the Board has been infected with a plague of glitter, hideously infecting the online personas until the fellow Boarders drive out the infecting spirit with the Boarder's (Capitalized-For-Importance) Name

OMG HI!!! by Mary Sue on 2013-01-15 05:51:00 UTC Reply

OMG, I am soooo glad I finaly built up corage to tlk too you guiz!!!! I hav been a fan for a wile, toh I waz so nervous because u r such gramnr natziz, an I now that im not the bes spell or at grammr, but i am not nervos anymor… wel, maby a little (^_^;) but i know u r all undrstnding of me!!!

Anyway, I have a agent!! Her name is Mary, she is a univerce traveler: She can travel acros the univrses and save pepol. This way she dont need portals to go tomissions, and she can juge peopl’s OOCnes by loking at then.
(I’m sorry Makis Thinkies, I jus dont trust yur teknology! I sory!!! DONT HAT MEEE!!!)
You hert hiz felings Mary!!! Say ur sorry!!!
(I sorry mak things)
That’s better.

Anyway, thats me, so I hope I can get permision soon an kill badfics!!! Now, wher the presents! I want presens!!!! GINIGIMIGIMIGIMIGIMI!!!!

((World-Jumper here, sorry I had to put you through that...thing. However, this is the start of a game I thought of. It’s called Mary Sue (Like me and Worldie here do.)
Exactly. Plus I am not that good at spelling or grammar, and Sue here is not either.
(Though that could just be a jab at her painful spelling ability.)
True. This shows the range of subtlety you can have. You can leave blatant clues, or you can leave more discrete ones. Up to Mary Sue.

The other rule is that another boarder cannot take on the persona of Mary Sue until the current boarder has been discovered. Then, the title of Mary Sue
(Be courteous to other boarders who want to be Mary Sue, don’t take on her persona again until two others have had opportunity to be Mary Sue. Plus, if someone found you out the first time, what makes you think you can do better a second time? ;-) )
Thanks Jumper. Now, with all that said: Let the Sue hunt BEGIN!))

There is already a game thread right underneath this one. Why not post a few things in there? Hell, you could pick out a few MSues from The Original Series or something and take a stab as to what their favorite songs could be, if you want to keep with the MSue theme.

Real Life decided to come in and force me to not be able to defend my game here. Anyway, I do understand there was already a game right beneath. However, the two games are completely different. One assigns a song or band to a character. Mine is, as I said, a mixture of role play and guessing game, or perhaps more appropriately a mystery game. You find clues to who the sues are in reality while still trying to 'deal' with them in-game. I also gave the game beneath about a day before posting my own. However, if there is a mandate of one game per page, or some period of time before you can create your own game thread that I violated, then I am sorry. Still, I like the mixture idea you came up with, I just don't think this should stop because of the other thread. If this is ignorance on my part, I apologize.

Still, this game is fun so far. What have I unleashed onto the board?

The trouble is that, while they are different, not waiting an interval of several threads before posting another game looks hasty and draws attention away from the first game, because every thread bumps the others down and both threads are games, so people go "Oooh a game!" and get distracted by it and, even if they might be interested in the earlier posted one too, they don't see it because they're engrossed in the later -- and therefore higher on the Board -- game.

There's no written rule about this that I know of, but whether it's a good time to post another game or not is guesstimated by how many threads have been posted after the first game. Board time isn't like Real time; the passage of time on the Board is marked off by threads being posted, not the clock.

Catastrophe: the Sues we were keeping in the Board's basement have managed to escape. How they did this, I have no idea.

Fortunately, I have managed to hide in a closet where we were storing some rather nice suits of armour. I've managed to pry an HEV suit out of its locker and to power up its shields. It's a bit big, but the hazmat protection it gives is well worth the discomfort. Hopefully the suit's seals can repel Glitter...

My first priority is to find an RA to get back to World One. Hopefully I'll be able to do so without attracting any attention. I still don't know where are the other people that were hanging out here. Maybe I'll bump into them while walking around.

Hm... Maybe I should go with the OctoCamo suit instead...

I never knew we had urple walls... by DawnFire on 2013-01-16 10:24:00 UTC Reply

I'm not completely sure what's going on. I mean, I'm pretty sure my walls were a normal color when I went to sleep, but now they're urple (my eyes!) and there's an alarming amount of glitter on the floor. It looks like Sue symptoms, but I know all the Sues are locked in the basement...

*pause*

Oh no. Footsteps...and singing...awfully *perfect* singing that's hurting my ears...where did I put the weapons? I know I have them, but where--oh, found the tribble--and the purple artichoke, good grief, it's covered in glitter! Poor plant--wait, weapons! Where are they, I know I have a Chitauri blaster in here somewhere--

*crashTHUD*

Owww...lookit all the glitter...

*pause*

Must--close--door--Must find--blaster--

*a series of noises and cursing. Faint noises of the Voice exclaiming can be heard. Finally, there is a thud and a click, and the Voice is muffled. There is another thud as DawnFire collapses*

*mumbling* Stupid Sues...need the blaster, where is it...glitter...sparkleS...its sO, lyke, pRiTtYY!!NO!!!! Argh...You may cover my room in glitter, and paint my walls urple, but you will not get my SPaG! You hear me? You will never get my SPaG!!

As I searched for an exit this morning, I thought I heard some sounds in the room next door. Not wanting to attract unwanted attention, I managed to quietly slip away. It could have been another Boarder, but it could also have been a trap.

You.

Can't.

Trust.

Anything.

Despite this place usually overflowing with oddball objects, I still can't find a portal device or anything to get out of here. What I did find, however, are the keys I lost two years ago. That's nice, I suppose.

Will resume searching for a portal generator after a quick snack break. Sheer paranoia is keeping me awake for now. I don't want to sleep when a Sue is on the loose.

Well, things are fInnaLy--oops, *finally*--looking up. I managed to trip over--I mean, I managed to find the blaster, and, well, bye-bye Sue. I really like this weapon. The Black Widow definitely had the right idea when she picked one up. Unfortunately, I got knocked unconscious due to too much glitter inhalation after the Sue exploded--and, well, I'm no agent, but don't Sues normally fall down dead when you kill them? Maybe there are different rules here than in the canons...anyway, I lost some time and have no idea how long I was out for, especially seeing as my watch display can't be seen through the glitter. I don't know how the stuff got inside the casing, and I'm not sure how to get it out again, either. Hm, maybe I can blind a Sue with it...

Oh, yes, there are more Sues around. I can hear them moving and talking in the hallways. It's pretty scary, actually; I mean, managed to get rid of one of them, yes, but, well, to be honest, I don't really know what I'm doing. I wasn't exactly trained for this, and I haven't even got anything useful in here--like, say, a remote activator or any of the other nifty items PPC agents get to take care of Sues...I'm a sitting duck if I stay in this room, but I can't get out because of the Sues! And what if I get Sued again? I'm a writer! I can't lost all sense of coherent--

Wait! Agents! That's the key! If I can just get a message to PPC HQ--I know agents there! They can come and help!

I just hope my laptop still works...

Excerpt from DawnFire's sent emails

Dear Agent Loringham,

I know we haven't known each other for very long, and that your schedule is often quite busy, due to all the badfic, but a situation has arisen here at the Board and I need your help. Please come quickly, and bring everything you need to take down an as-yet-unknown number of Sues. Be warned: they explode into glitter when killed (or at least one of them has), in violation of most normal Sue deaths.

I am currently trapped in my room, and have heard nothing from my fellow Board members. What little I do know is that there has been a sudden influx of Sues, most likely the ones that were being kept in the basement for

((Extra note--Whoops, a dragoon is *not* a ship. Thank you Gilbert & Sullivan for reminding me that a dragoon is actually a specific type of soldier...Put it down to forgetfulness and Suefluence. ~DF))

Oh and i already have an agents pair! since i've been here frever can i just start writing missions with them right away? the first one is karif (bcasue I kno all arabic and i only had to take one year of classes!!!) nd he was a canim in a codez alera fafnic but the dumb sue turned him into a ttlly hot bishie guy w wolf ears anda tail!!! He doesnt do the blood magic cus eeew blood but he can make magical fire that's blue and is totally aesoem.

his partner is msitral and she's like a ninja but from a steampunk unievese and is a total inventor fenius like tony stark (he's soooo hawt) but with steampunk and shes all ninjay.
