The books are amazing. My favorite part is definitely how flying works. "Learning how to throw yourself at the ground, and miss."
That's okay, What are you enthusiastic about right now, enthusiastic one?
Thanks! Now I just need to track down a printer of some description...
I like the Khajiits for Elder Scrolls. As for Redwall, foxes are my favorite vermin, and badgers are my favorite goodbeast.
Khajiit are the best. For Redwall, though, I'm a bit torn. My favorite vermin are definitely stoats (especially Romsca),but for woodlanders I'm torn between otters, squirrels, and badgers.
'Bows politely' I'm not really a member of the PPC 'yet' But I think it would be nice of me to give you a present. Here are some Reese's Pieces and a Auto Shotgun with unlimited ammo. Just in case you have zombie troubles, or Sue troubles, or maybe even 'gasp' Zombie Sue troubles.
Well I guess take care and enjoy yourself, I certainly am.
Everything needed to survive the zombie/Sue apocalypse. Many thanks.
That makes you a PPCer. :)
I'm not a official PPC member, as in I don't have Permission/made any Agents/not done any missions. I guess I am a unofficial PPC member though.
Posting on this Board makes you officially a fully acknowledged member of the PPC Community (unless you are banned for grave misdemeanor, which, to my experience, happens approximately once per year). There is more to being a Protector of the Plot Continuum than getting Permission and writing missions. Having Permission is not even a requirement for being made a Permission Giver.
HG
Oh, really?
And there are Boarders (Hieronymus Graubart especially comes to mind) who don't have Permission but have been around for ages. Is he not an official PPC member?
You're an official PPCer, hun. ;)
Although I'm not sure we can talk about newbie with someone who lured so long on this Board. Anyway, have some black-hole chocolates.
After all, I'm certainly new to posting.
Mm, chocolate.
So you finally decided to come out of the shadows and join us. You probably know almost everyone here better than me, so it's a little strange to welcome someone who's been here for so long. As a reward for joining us have a sonic wrench!
Though I wouldn't say I know as much as recognize most folks here. After lurking for five years it gets a bit difficult to keep track of people beyond just names.
Thanks for the wrench, I've always wanted a sonic device!
I feel weird about welcoming you, since you've technically been here for way longer than I have and you most likely know everyone here much better than I do. But anyway, have a fake dolphin! I look forward to seeing you around.
But I don't think my time around here really counts since I was only lurking. Difficult to get to know people if you never talk to them, aye?
And thankee very much for the dolphin. As clueless as I am about them, they remain my favorite sea-dwelling mammal.
I was completely obsessed with them when I was about six years old, and a decade later I still have an unusual amount of dolphin stuffies, little plastic dolphins, books about dolphins, etc. I haven't really thought about it in a while, but now that we're talking. . . yeah, they remain my favorite sea-dwelling mammal too. What do you like about them?
Though in my case, it never actually faded.
As for why I like dolphins, there's lot of reasons. They're cute, they're smart, I like how they sound, I like how they hunt, and I like The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, so it's practically obligatory.
Do you plan on becoming involved with the current Shipfest?
I'm just curious. I'm not plotting anything. Nope, just making pleasant conversation. Friendly and inquisitive, that's me.
--Key, who is not a shady character
I'll just be the stick in the mud bystander this time around. If you feel an evil plot coming on, though, by all means include me. I would consider it an honor.
The plot was to ship you with the Board/the PPC/something like that. You know, since you watched it for so long, never quite brave enough to say anything, until one day you screwed up your courage and introduced yourself. . . and were accepted enthusiastically. Adorable, no?
That is an extraordinary idea. You have my full permission to run however far you wish with it.
. . . Okay, that was dumb. Whatever, I'm so excited you like it! Like, multiple-exclamation-points-except-I'm-too-dignified-for-multiple-exclamation-points levels of excited. Thank you for your approval!
I kid, I kid. I'm glad you're excited. If I'd known I'd have this much fun just introducing myself, I would have done it years ago.
You didn't even suspect? Well, you've got plenty of time for having fun ahead of you. (Unless you introduced yourself because you're dying of toenail cancer and want the Board to know how you've loved it before you die, in which case I'm sorry.)
How long do you think we can go with this song before we run out of things to post about?
I was mostly kidding, I always knew it would be fun. It's just that being shipped with a website on my very first post was a bit more enthusiasm than I was expecting. Certainly not complaining, though.
Oh, I get way too enthusiastic about everything. I could probably get through the song three times over, because now I have the idea of getting through the whole song, and I am becoming enthusiastic for it.
I am known for enthusiasm for ideas which are weird, dumb, and sometimes just bad. Not here, yet. But many places, and probably here soon.
Three times might be just a tad overboard, but hey, would probably be fun. Though I think we might start cluttering up the Board if we really did go for three
Enthusiasm is great, and I have no problem with weird ideas. Just look at how much fun we've had already!
I think we're supposed to take ridiculous long threads to the Other Board. . . or T-Board. . . I don't really understand the system. But I'm sure someone will be happy to explain it to us before long.
So, um. . . What are you currently most enthusiastic about?
I think we should probably stop when we get to the second chourus, otherwise I'll have to do the whole song.
I think you're right. Though I don't think that's necessary just yet.
In descending order of enthusiasm, the PPC, archery, and Shadow of Mordor.
The books are amazing. My favorite part is definitely how flying works. "Learning how to throw yourself at the ground, and miss."
That's okay, What are you enthusiastic about right now, enthusiastic one?
Have a shovel that digs up lost Let's Play videos!
Speaking of, you're worried about Texas infecting your accent? From one YouTuber I've seen, RoahmMythril, you're more like to get a blend. He was raised in Texas... by Scottish elders.
As to my accent, that's what I'm afraid of, really. My accent probably sounds strange enough as it is. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, but I spent most of my time imitating Scottish, English, and German accents, and that's not even getting into the voices like Strong Bad and Homestar Runner.
But then, my knowledge of Pokémon begins and ends with watching the cartoon as a kid many moons ago. Not that many moons, of course, but moons enough to have forgotten much of what little I watched. Still, never too late to learn, thanks for the starter!
I play a bit of competitive, so stuff like what I do gets me thinking deeper about how you can grind out slightly more of an edge on a non-standard Pokémon setup. It may not be socially acceptable, but it is dashed good fun.
For chronic sad acts like me, anyway. YMMV. =]
Welcome! Make yourself comfortable and have a slice of Infinite Pizza!
Also, because I have to: 
Fair warning, though, I can be a bit of a pizza snob.
What is that from? It seems ever so slightly familiar.
The badgers quote? A YouTuber by the name of JackSepticEye.
I recognized the animation style of Gravity Falls, though I haven't watched it. The YouTuber, however, I've never heard of. Ah, well, who can keep track of them all? Perhaps he looked familiar because of some half forgotten gif I saw on imgur or tumblr.
Also, I don't know if it was asked before, but what are you preferable pronouns? :3
And my pronouns are male. I threw in "lad" in my introduction as a halfhearted clue to that, but it's easy to miss. I probably should have been more clear, but it already felt a touch wordier than I liked.
Have one of my own shed feathers, along with a working replica of the Golden Snitch and a copy of the One Ring that totally doesn't make you invisible!
Hello! Have a plate of choice cheeses! There's Brie, Sharp Cheddar and a bit of Swiss and Blue. Oh yes, and here's some crackers too. Irrelevant is very sorry if you hate cheese or are lactose intolerant.
Though my taste in cheese is rather plain. No matter, I'll gift some to Wallace and Gromit.
Ah well. Maybe just cheese sticks next time. I wonder what would happen if someone mixed Bleepirin with cheese.
Maybe both.
Have a Salad V noggle.
I'm not quite certain I understand, but thanks!
Alad V is a character in WARFRAME. Thing is, his name is pronounced "a-LAHD" (rhymes with "salad"), not "AH-lad" like you'd expect; thence, the fandom calls him "Salad".
I've never played Warframe, but I've been tempted to try it.
The lore's pretty interesting and we've been getting more of it lately. The latest update (u18.5) landed yesterday and brought lotsa graphical improvements.
Warframe's main problem is that it's not newbie-friendly. However, it has a very good wiki that should be read often and most people are glad to help newbies.
I'm a sucker for good lore, and steep learning curves don't really bother me. I've got nothing but time.
I shall subvert my usual gift today, since I'm giving a A replica of the Corrupt!Shadowreaper of Doom. Note: I am not responsible for any unhallowed whispers, influences of the mind, and the urge to shout DOOOM whenever a Friday the 13th comes around.
2nd Note: This plays a part in how I make my scones.
You can never go wrong with doom and gloomy axes. I think I'll keep this one in the attic, though. If I'm going to be shouting "doom!" I'll do it when I please, not before.
I may press you for that scone recipe, however.
I'm fairly certain I picked it ip from a Badger in Redwall once upon a time. All the same, I am determined to make my escape before "Y'all" enters my vocabulary.
Thank you, I think. I'll find a place for it in the back room.
Since you covered my usual questions, just have this plate of welcome SPaGhetti!
*high fives* Welcome aBoard, fellow Potterhead and Whovian!
Tasty.
Always nice to meet a fellow fan! Who's your favorite Doctor? What House are you in?
Ten is my favorite New Who Doctor, Four Classic. Though Hartnell and Eccleston have a special place in my hearts since they were my firsts. :)
And Gryffindor, where dwell the brave at heart! Their daring, nerve, and chivalry set Gryffindors apart!
Yourself?
Nine was my first, so I'll always be fond of him, but Ten is my absolute favorite. My favorite Classic Who is definitely Four. Though I do hold a certain fondness for Five, despite how few of his episodes I've seen.
As for my House, Hufflepuff! Err, probably. It's a bit unclear some days.
