About Sue Simulator:
It will not be a mindless combat simulator. Sue Simulator will have various side quests, stories, and there is a lot of plot. I am going to try my best to make it fun and interesting. Does anybody want to play? -

First of all, I've noticed that RPs here, excluding the Purim one, kinda happen spontaneously. If you look at the Wiki pages for the Blackout and similar things, you'll notice that they started from RPs and sorta just happened. To do this, you kinda need to have a good feel for how the Board works, what's the right time to post something new, etc. Since this is only your third post, I suggest you sit back and relax, and see what the Board has to offer already before you start something major of your own.
Second, how would Sue Simulator fit into the existing plot of the PPC? Again, one has to have a good idea of the PPC universe to pull RPs like this (that include the PPC universe and not just the Boarders) off. The idea of a machine making Sues really sounds like the already-existing idea of Mary Sue Factories, but it looks like you don't know that. So I suggest that while you sit back and relax, you also read up, at the very least on the Wiki, so that you may get a feel for what everything is here.
But do not despair! Eventually, whether it's an RP in later years, a new addition to the PPC video game family, or a campaign in my planned addition to said video games, you'll find a use for this idea. Don't worry, I know how you feel. I too was an enthusiastic newbie who tried to contribute before I knew enough to successfully contribute. You just gotta walk before you run. Okay, Jellyity? Okay. :)
TL;DR: One word. Wait.

Honestly, right now I don't have time, but this is just a note...
You already made a thread about this really recently, so next time, continue the thread that's already there rather than making a new one? We don't like to make new threads unless they're needed. Just kind of a general ettiquette thing around here. -

The threads thing is due to the fact that the Board's memory is limited. Remember the fairly recent post about how the archives have been updated? Well, those archives exist because every new post knocks am old one off the back, so to speak. The Board's memory generally goes back about...a year and a half or so, I think?
Which is not at all to say you shouldn't make new posts! Just try not to make a new one where a reply update to an existing thread on the front page could serve, and generally try not to make, say, three or four or five new posts in quick succession unless they're all very different and so on.
And, of course, it also just makes it easier to view and interact with topics if they're all or mostly in the same thread! It's much simpler to look at and answer a series of PPC universe questions that are in one thread than it is to answer them spread out over many!
Not that we're very, seriously, extremely annoyed if you make a couple multiple posts at first--I'm pretty sure the majority of us have been there. We're mainly just explaining and asking that you learn for the future, since that's how the Board works! :)
