... just cheat and blazon it as five piano accidental keys sable. It's what I did for Kaitlyn's shield, which features a fess sable with staff bearing a three-note arpeggio in G argent. It would probably be massively frowned on in formal heraldry, but this is the internet. ;)

I'll repost this, possibly with a rendering of your shield (I like to do them all myself, for some reason; possibly I just hate free time) on my most recent Wednesday Pluggage thread, in case you miss it.

Any ideas about turning Jay and Acacia's ecartled heraldries in something horrid (and fun) enough for Jaycacia? Come on, I'm sure you already thought about doing something like this.

This is a fantastic weaving of a true tale into the Plort setting. Thank you for sharing it (and for finally putting Tumblr on the map outside Plort, I've been getting twitchy about that).

(I want a Mood Mirror now. ^_~)

Why is Kaitlyn the only one to have her Elvish heraldry (as opposed to English-style)?

Is creating new things for the world of Plort OK? Like new (small) nations on the continent of Weab and maybe going slightly more deeply into the practices held within certain members of the Are-Pea Alliance. I've got a post I'd like to do, but I want to check I'm allowed to do certain things within it first.

The biggest library of Arpying in Plort is in Keep De'endee. It includes with the complete works of masters such as Gaigacks and Arrenson.

I think that answers both your questions. ^_^

*I don't mind people creating their insert out-of-season. You can set up a page for it yourself, or post the tale of Cat-on-the-Keyboard here and I'll put it in the Cyclopaedia.

*When/if you get Permission, Plort!you becomes a knight, so there's no defined process your character has to follow prior to that (other than the stuff around the Knights' Road). If you want to call yourself a page, squire, protoknight, or swordling, you can go ahead.

*Plort reflects the community. If your insert is attached to Sir Ekyl, you should probably have some connection to Ekyl yourself (though it's not really required). Similarly, your residence should be based on what you do most in the PPC community: are you on the Board, RPing, working on the Wiki, or chatting with people on Google Talk or whatever?

*There's a beginner's guide which is good to know about. (And yes, you're allowed to establish new locations in your origin story, though make sure they fit the theme...)

*I don't really know what Ekyl's up to; he's trying to establish himself as the centre of off-Board activity in the PPC, if his character's actions are to be believed.

*I need to make a Cyclopaedia page for heraldry. Gah.

This is what I said on the last big Plort thread:

Each and every member of the PPC Community is also a resident of Plort. You can find the autobiographies of everyone who's done this before in the WikiCyclopaedia (mine is here, for example). If you haven't already written your history, why not join in and give one? There's a guide on doing so on the CycloWiki, and a glossary outlining most of the websites and fandoms in the setting.

For entertainment value, please post your bios here on the Board; if you want to cross-post them to the Cyclopaedia, go ahead, but I'm happy to sort that out for you. A couple of notes:

-Make sure to choose which of the four nations of the Union you live in, and indeed where in it; there’s nothing wrong with adding small towns and villages wherever you please, or you can live in the cities. Up to you!

-Everyone can have their own pair of heraldic devices, according to Plort’s two systems as described here. If you can describe your device/s, either formally as described there or just vaguely, I’ll (try to) make it for you.

So there you go. The Sib Houses haven't yet made their way into Plort, though I'd be interested to see them do so (they do after all have pre-made heraldry).

You see, for a small fee of 700 gold, I can give you suitable documents that will make you a proper knight. :)

(I'm kiddin', btw. All I remember doing was writing my introductory post, with a short backstory of this guy and that was it.)

The young woman shivered slightly and pulled the cowl of her cloak further over her head, hunching her shoulders against the chill.

Her horse nickered lightly, sensing her master's discomfort. The rider sighed and patted the horse's neck, letting her hand rest under the mane where it was nice and warm.

"I know, Farilan," she murmured. "But we're not going back. Got places to go, people to meet, trouble to get into. Maybe visit Doktaru, see if we can't do something about the Marizu threat in the west. Besides, Foon can take care of himself and the keep, and last I heard, Baron Phobos was planning to rule in my stead." She turned to look at the ocean behind them. Not even the monolithic Larninkurv Mountains could be seen now. Here in the Northern Wastes, it finally hit her how alone she was. "I don't always agree with him, but I think it will be okay. I mean, everyone got on just fine before my arrival." She sighed. "Yeah, we don't need to go back." She hesitated, then patted the mare's neck again, sighing heavily. "At least, not yet."

Lady Iximaz urged her horse into a canter, resuming her ride along the base of the mountains. She was soon swallowed by the night.

Or, in other words, permaleave has become temporary hiatus. Dunno how long it'll be, but not forever.

That there was a requirement for a fixed number of barons. Need I remind you that the last election added three barons to the total?

Does Tumblar not have its own peacekeepers? I can send some of my men to help disperse the crowd if need be, unless there is anything else you need? Don't worry, order will be restored swiftly enough.

You have my very preemptive apologies, I'm sorry for the size of a mess that name and pronoun changes have on a wiki.

The works I've contributed to PPC canon can stay as-is: I'm pretty sure that Agent Dann is not trans, or at least has no interest in changing name or pronouns.

As far as references to myself go, I would be fine with redirecting my current name page to a new one with a note on names and pronouns. I'm pretty much open about being trans, both online and off, so I'm definitely not going to insist on retconning all references to me, or anything like that.

I can certainly contribute time to making the edits as well, when I finally get an evening free - I'm afraid that life is trying to eat all of my spare time at the moment.
