Here's a rainbow tie-dyed T-shirt and a Black Lives Matter button! Wear them both at once to give raging conservatives an aneurysm! >:)

In case you didn't notice I disappeared sometime around last May/June/July time because of exams, and then I thought I'd be back. That wasn't the case as I failed Statistics (badly) and thus had to spend the entire summer re-learning an entire year's worth of Statistics (and when you're second year at uni it's quite hard stuff), most of which I hadn't really revises before the exam the first time round (who'd of thought that was a bad idea?). Anyway, also over the summer I was officially diagnosed with ADHD (technically ADD, but they don't separate them anymore) and then I was launched straight into my final year of Uni, which (so far) has been my best year of uni yet (beside the aforementioned blood and sweat, Ultimate Frisbee has injured me more than anything else in my life).
But hey, I've now got free time in my schedule and I figured I'd come back to the PPC and start trying to do some original writing again (as if a 6-8k dissertation and a 2.5k essay weren't enough). So, yeah, hello once again to all the people who are still here from before I left, and hello for the first time to those who have joined since.

Please accept this NG+ starter Pokémon:-
Iiiiiiiit's Mamoswine!
And your NG+ starting item is:-
Infestation from The Binding Of Isaac: Afterbirth!
Infestation's a pretty amazing item, since you get to make an additional attack with a BP 60 Bug-type move that does physical non-contact damage after your turn. For the next 1-3 turns. Every time you get hit by a physical contact move. On a mon like Mamoswine, it's brilliant, since it has a high Attack stat. To get the most out of it, get an Adamant one and train it in Attack and Speed, with the last points in HP. For moves, you'll want Ice Shard, Icicle Crash, Earthquake, and Knock Off, then just chuck it out and let 'er rip! The most important thing to remember when using it, however, is to have fun. =] -

Hey, thanks for the Mamoswine, now if only it could learn Infestation...
You'll have to see if I use that moveset and EV spread in the tournament. -
I look forward to it! =] by

I hope you're running Ice - it's a great typing. Me, I'm playing with a Bug team that seems to work fairly well. They slice! They dice! They're a floor wax and a dessert topping! =]

Nah, I looked at running a MonoIce, but I wouldn't have anything that'd definitely be able to counter hS' MonoFire team, so I've decided to run with my MonoGround team instead. I've faced plenty of MonoBug teams whilst laddering, so I'm kinda hoping that'll help if we meet.

Welcome back aBoard! I'm about as new to the PPC as humans are to the universe, which is to say I'm still very shiny and relatively sane.
I'm not sane. Whoops.
Have some chocolate from the land of Germany, because German chocolate is lovely. I also present you with The Ultimate Frisbee complete with GPS tracker and recall button to help you with your game of Ultimate Frisbee. (I'm very bad at the aforementioned sport.) Once again, welcome back!

Have this replica Holocron. It may not have ancient Jedi secrets, but it does have a handy map of the Star Wars galaxy complete with tourist destinations and tips on avoiding the latest war.
I think I actually remember your name, though I've only recently ceased lurking so you definitely don't know mine. Good to have you back! -

I'm kind of in the same boat as you, except with a 4 year gap between leaving for exams and returning. Nice to meet you! (Again? I don't remember.)
Anyway, have a pack of watercolour pencils and a Luigi plushie. Everyone needs a Luigi plushie! -

Have some black-hole chocolates. And since you hae got Agents, I'll add a self-updating guidebook of all the deathtraps in the multiverse. All the handy ways of disposing of a glitterbag.
Tough luck with university. I can only wish you better luck with this year. -

And I'm sorry to hear you failed and had to relearn Stats. As someone who has had to take a crash course on it for my software position, I can say for certain that it gets a lot harder as you go deeper.
Anyway, I hope to see you around more often, and best of luck with your writing projects, both academic and personal! :D -

Some of the guys on my course decided to do Stats this year as their optional modules, apparently they're finding it quite hard now.
Yeah, on the personal side of things I've got 2 Fanfics currently in various stages of planning, a prelude for my agents, plans for a mission and a reboot of my original fic planned out. Don't think I'll have time to do all of it before I graduate, but I'm going to try my best.
