My favorite episode from season three would have to be Magic Duel, and I am not even a Trixie fan! It killed my fic idea, but done so much better then I ever could. It was a Once Upon a Time and MLP crossover with Trixie as Regina. Now the Trixie Twilight feud is over with, and in such an awesome way, where I don't even care about my lost opportunity.

On a second note, should we have a brony rollcall? Just so we know who has been infected with the pony bug. Obviously me, you, Kitty, and the newbie Basil are, but I dont know who else is infected.

Okay, sorry, I have no memory of going to sleep last night, and I am hungry.
In news actually relevant to the topic, I'd like to welcome you a-board. I have a bright shiny Awkae for you, too. D'aww, look at it. Isn't it pretty?

I hope to see you around!

Welcome a-Board newbie! Let me throw some links your way.

The first is our Consitution, which outlines all the rules of out little online society in order to ensure that it remains as (in)sane as we like it.

The second is our wiki which contains a somewhat-infinite amount of knowledge. If you ever have a question, the answer is probably here.

Thirdly, The Original Series is how this whole community started, so it's definitely a recommended read.

And lastly, the IRC is a place for casual conversation and goofing off, if you like that sort of thing.

For your newbie gift, I present this time travelling orange. If you keep it for approximately two days (depending on your timezone) it will be in another year. Have fun!

Thank you.\ by Great Basil Pasta on 2012-12-31 03:13:00 UTC Reply

Thank you for the links and the bizarre gift. I appreciate both.

As Specs says-- by VixenMage on 2012-12-31 00:31:00 UTC Reply

You already are! Well, if you decide to hang out. You don't have to write PPC missions to be in the PPC - just be part of the community! Which, by posting here, you have already done!

So - welcome!

(To actually write PPC missions, you need permission - but that all comes later. For now, come in, sit down, have a probably-not-poisonous cookie!)

Coolness!

I think this is a good thing, becoming a PPC member. Is it okay to have an Agent in the PPC if I don't/can't yet write the missions? I sorta created this guy to represent myself in the PPC: http://www.tektek.org/avatar/52279353

Aye, but only for certain things. by SeaTurtle on 2012-12-31 02:42:00 UTC Reply

Oh, sorry, where are my manners?

Ahem! Welcome to the Board! Have some of my world-famous hydrophobic water to commemorate the event. May or may not have been involved during the Krikkit wars.

To answer your question: it's a-okay to have a character to use for non-Permission events like RPs.

If you really want to start writing for the PPC, may I suggest reporting fics in the DoI standard format? Just omit the part about the Spy's Intel run: you'll need Permission for that.

/Intelligence recruitment campaign

Okay! by Great Basil Pasta on 2012-12-31 02:51:00 UTC Reply

So... using my own badfic as an example for the intelligence report...

This is a Department of Intelligence Report for the story http://kit-the-wolfy.deviantart.com/gallery/41378683

PPC Intelligence Report

Fic: Yu-Gi-Oh: Reverse over ZERO (original version) (http://kit-the-wolfy.deviantart.com/gallery/41378683)

Description: A VERY AU Yu-Gi-Oh story where Yugi Mutou and Seto Kaiba are dead. (Description is very basic)

Plot Holes: Many, many, many. Unresolved plots, beige prose, and a hefty dose of surrealism.

Problem Passages: WAY TOO MANY TO LIST

OC: (way, way too many, but protagonists listed) Leonidas McCloud, Leon Anderson, Lily Nora, Mia DuPar, Cyrus Lebarge, Clara Giuseppe, Kuma Tohru, James Noir, Haru Fulbright, Raymond Sleet

Type: Several are Mary-Sues, and some are bit characters.

Offenses Against Canon: It's an AU fic, uh... hm. Other than that... Mixing up magic systems improperly, injecting very inappropriate fetishes into the story (don't even ASK), spelling/grammar errors, Deus Ex Machina, idiotic writing, pissing off its own creator (yours truly), beige prose, Mary-Sue-ism, inept crossovers, stupid lines, switching between different moods inappropriately, random Author's Notes, etc.

Additional Comments: EXTREMELY BIZARRE/SURREAL. Handle with caution.

Like that?

Yup. by SeaTurtle on 2012-12-31 02:59:00 UTC Reply

If you feel so inclined, you can have your Agent/Spy sign the report.

Hey, lookit! I may have just recruited someone!

*party hard*

Uh... cool? I think? by Great Basil Pasta on 2012-12-31 03:01:00 UTC Reply

(talking as someone else)
It seems that the reporter signed this one.
(shows cursive on report that reads "Agent Basil DiCaprio")

I assume it's okay? by SpecstacularSC on 2012-12-31 00:38:00 UTC Reply

I have two unofficial rookie agents who are locked up in FicPsych due to an extra-viscious pillow fight. They're not my real agents because I opted to forego mission writing.

I'm fairly certain it's okay in RP and co-write situations.

Well, I have never seen a pile of living pasta before. Do you know the Flying Spaghetti Monster by any chance?

(Realy? You desided to introduce yourself to him like that? *sigh* I'm sorry, for my author's insanity. I am his in progress OC currently named Jumper, though I intend to change that after fixing my Gary Stu qualities. Please forgive us, we tend to be a little... well frankly quite insane. Then again, that is what makes us fun to interact with. As it is, me and Worldie are also new, though I think we are nearing our one-month anniversary, so feel free to gaze in utter shock at the others shenanigans with us.)
Worldie?
(You call me Jumper.)
Fair enough.

Any whom. So, you are also a brony! Yay! Now I know what to give you. I have one set of magical figurines of the mane six, each imbeded with an aspect of their respective personalitys. I will give you one, depending on who you think best pony is.

Welcome to our little comunity. For my information, how did you find us? Just curious.

Um... by Great Basil Pasta on 2012-12-30 23:31:00 UTC Reply

Firstly, I am not a pile of living pasta. I am a human. I just like pasta. No, I don't know the FSM, but I think I know somebody similar.

I personally think that Fluttershy is the best of the Mane 6, but Sweetie Belle is my favorite.

Uh... I was looking up the color Bled, because I'd read the Hetalia OFU story. It led me to the Suvian Colour Spectrum. And from there, I was hooked.

You read whaaaaat? by Lily Winterwood on 2012-12-31 02:16:00 UTC Reply

Let me hug you and stuff.

I think we need to make a list... by ThatOne on 2012-12-31 02:41:00 UTC Reply

Of the people who came here because of IAHF.

So far there's me, Great Basil Pasta, and TheMadHatteress (I think).

Anyone else out there?

I believe Karen DuLay and Kitty Smith... by Lily Winterwood on 2012-12-31 02:42:00 UTC Reply

(or whatever their Boarder names were) were actually IAHF alums.

And Intel, too, kinda.

O-okay... by Great Basil Pasta on 2012-12-31 02:18:00 UTC Reply

If you insist... *braces for a hug*

To be fair, I actually found it a little annoying at first, but my search for Bled led me here, and, well, here I am.

It does tend to do that. by Lily Winterwood on 2012-12-31 02:19:00 UTC Reply

OFUs rarely have exciting beginnings because it's the readers that shape the experience. Yeah.

Was it because my self-insert was annoying? If so, I've done my job. (/bows)

Hm. by Great Basil Pasta on 2012-12-31 02:20:00 UTC Reply

I see. Uh... maybe we could RP or something?

You mean you are not pasta? by World-Jumper on 2012-12-31 00:01:00 UTC Reply

(Sigh... of course he is not you dimwit.)
Sorry, just trying to have fun.
( Well, stop and think before acting.)
...Sorry...

Fluttershy huh? Alrighty then, when you hold the mimi statue, a feeling of peace and kindness passes over you. Only the strongest of badfic can shake you with her in your possesion. Sorry I don't have Sweetie Bell, but if I find her, you will be sure to have her.

Well, that is an interesting way to be introduced. Huh. Usualy it's through tvtropes or a particular badfic. Congradulations, you are unique amoungst fools. A difficult feat indeed.

Re: You mean you are not pasta? by Great Basil Pasta on 2012-12-31 00:03:00 UTC Reply

Thank you for the Fluttershy statue! It's really nice.

It IS pretty interesting. The PPC is hilarious, and if there's one thing I love, it's humor.

I feel like I've done that one already.

Anyway, here's your newbie gift from me: Lots of Bleeprin! -throws Bleeprin at you-

Also, what are your fandoms?

Well... by Great Basil Pasta on 2012-12-30 22:41:00 UTC Reply

Uh... my fandoms are Yu-Gi-Oh (mostly the game), Pokemon (again, mostly the game), a teeny bit of Homestuck, My Little Pony (Friendship is Magic), Vocaloid, Bionicle, and, er... the furry fandom.

Thank you for the Bleeprin. I have a feeling I'll need it in the time to come.

Also, is it weird that your post there reminds me of how anime characters in school introduce themselves?

I thought furries were more a community than a fandom? by firemagic on 2012-12-30 22:45:00 UTC Reply

Because there's no one furry canon, right?

I recently did a co-write mission with Yu-Gi-Oh (5Ds). Also, hooray for another brony! What's your favorite Season Three episode? Mine're Too Many Pinkie Pies and Magic Duel.

Correct by Riese on 2013-01-01 22:19:00 UTC Reply

Furries are a community, not a fandom.

My favorite so far was Wonderbolt Academy. I like Rainbow Dahs getting compared to a similar pony whose desire to push herself went too far.

Also, I feel as though the Trixie-Twilight feud resolved kind of lazily. I mean, Trixie literally didn't show any signs of having learned her lesson until the random fireworks display at the end. I was a bit disappointed.
