Oh, hey, I remember that thread.

PPCLand is back! by twistedwindowpane on 2019-02-19 15:00:00 UTC Reply

Due to the overwhelmingly positive and very fun response the original PPCLand post received from a few oldbies, I have decided to make this a recurring thing. Even though it's only hypothetical... *looks at everyone with Permission*

Welcome, one and all, to the best new theme park in New Caledonia! PPCLand! Get the full agent experience with a variety of rides, shows, stores, and other attractions! Come visit today!

The attractions we offer so far will be posted shortly. Come up with your own, or if you made one last post, feel free to edit your ideas too.

Now obviously... by Mattman The Comet on 2019-02-20 03:54:00 UTC Reply

...There should be a light gun course where you shoot sues.

So much so that there isn't one. Or is there? It's among the PPC's greatest mysteries, up there with the fabled Pool.

I think Iximaz's "DMS Suefari" covers that. by twistedwindowpane on 2019-02-25 14:24:00 UTC Reply

Sorry for not posting the list of existing rides, I had another honor band.

Oh man. by Zingenmir on 2019-02-20 02:30:00 UTC Reply

Is this--can it be--

Is this the one from back in, wow, 2013 or 2014 or so? The one I have an unfinished interlude for?? Can it truly be?

Or, y'know, do I have the wrong end of the stick here?

(But if this *is* the one I have an unfinished interlude for...well, maybe I'll have to finish it.)

I wasn't in the PPC in 2013 or 2014. by twistedwindowpane on 2019-02-25 14:23:00 UTC Reply

And I had no clue about your unfinished interlude. This came out of the following post: http://disc.yourwebapps.com/discussion.cgi?id=199610;article=319321;search_term=theme+park

But hey, let's see if you can combine your idea with mine!

So boy, did it ever have some clues. by Zingenmir on 2019-02-26 06:03:00 UTC Reply

Better than that--I'd copied in the original post!

Turns out, the thread I was thinking of came about when Lily Winterwood went to Disneyland and came back with a question: Your Agents (or Agents-to-be) suddenly have access to Disneyland (whatever iteration of Disneyland that you're most familiar with, at least).

What would happen?

Based on the responses and my own ideas, I wrote a chunk of an interlude (yes, some responses are in there: I did a Supernatural finale-style opening, since I was going to reference a bunch of the responses in the background). I didn't finish it, so it hasn't been posted, but...that's how things go, I guess. Given the timing, RL got rather busy around that point.

Speaking of timing: the date I have is June 23, 2013. The actual thread was probably at least ten days earlier (probably more. Could have even been in May, for all I know). But it's a start!

Your thread be's here: by Huinesoron on 2019-02-26 11:18:00 UTC Reply

In the Altchives

(Found by searching the spreadsheet archive for 2013 for 'Disneyland' and then going to the correct date.)

Lily concluded that one of the agents would probably pull the Sword from the Stone and accidentally become King of All Britain. ^~

hS just nearly ended that with ^@, which appears to be The Happiest Borg

Funnily enough, that's actually the prompt I used. by Zingenmir on 2019-02-26 13:37:00 UTC Reply

The interlude actually features an agent pulling the Sword from the Stone, in all innocence. I thought the idea was hilarious.

Thanks for tracking it down!

So yeah, that's different. Although we could still merge it. by twistedwindowpane on 2019-02-26 16:21:00 UTC Reply

Say, maybe after that interlude, a sequel in which the agents bring their Disneyland knowledge back to New Caledonia and set up their own PPC theme park?

Oh, hey, I remember that thread. by Zingenmir on 2019-02-26 05:51:00 UTC Reply

And this now makes a lot more sense, really :) I'm not entirely sure why I was thinking something along the lines of 'she must have been reading through Board archives and it caught her attention!' but...I'm pretty sure that's what I was thinking. Sorry for any confusion!

I'll have to see about trying to dig up some more information on the thread I was thinking of...the interlude will almost definitely have more than a few clues as to the timing (I hope), so that's probably the place to start. Of course, if anyone else remembers it a little more clearly (I'm starting to think it might have been either an RP or just something that spawned some talk about how specific agents would react...?)...
