I think Max just doesn't like Madoka's ending. While I'm sure s/he has their reasons, the board is probably not the best place to discuss it, at least in a thread about a new site.
As head shrine maiden, I demand to know where The Adjective Goddess July's spot is. And I suppose those other, inferior deities, Phobos and Nesh should have places as well.
Proof of godhood being here
Repent of your wicked ways and accept the True Sunflower as your boss and Official! The power of the Sunflower compels you! Repent!
Now, could you please sign this waiver so I might exorcise your unbelief from you?
*She hands you a piece of paper with "Waver" written in crayon across the top. Under "Waver" it just has an X and a dotted line, clearly meant to hold a signature.
I'm just pretending to arrest you, so the Unbelievers will not attack us. Don't worry, I'll take them away.
Now, could you please follow me to FicPsych? I'm sure there is a lot of people there who needs you to show them the ways of the True Sunflower...
She knows this game and she is not falling for it. She throws the "Waver" in your face and runs away around a corner yelling "Repent!" at the top of her lungs. Once out of sight, you can no longer hear her. When you look around the corner she is gone.
She needs FicPsych attention badly.
Depends. Do you want to be... smote? Smitten? Smited? *is unsure*
There's no such thing as bad publicity. And, though she has left the temple, I will make it known throughout the multiverse that Greyladybast is NOT the goddess she claimed to be. Take that, you fleabag of a dei--
ZZZZZZZZAP!
...unh...
Madoka, maybe? She's the Goddess/Concept of Hope, with her you can hope to not be smithed anymore.
Of course, if you don't want to, nobody's going to force you.
But refusing to aknowledge Madoka would probably lead to an angry Homura chasing you with a rocket launcher.
And Maintenance doesn't want blown-up walls anymore.
... Kaitlyn is a former Priestess of Bast, and she might take exception if Araeph turned her non-devotion away from the Formerly Great Goddess. And do you really want to upset the Threefold Lady of Fertility?
hS
Cursed with eternal pregnancy? O__o
Non-devotion is the most you can expect. Sorry!
Don't worry, just smite! SMITE, I say!
*considers*
Cunning Arguments, today, I think.
Oddly satisfying.
Yeah, that's not an official smiting way, but sometimes you just have too do something new, right?
Homura here wanted the "smite by RPG-7 for not believing in Madoka" variant, but I stopped her.
If we blow up the Unbeliever, we have nobody else to smite.
Also, unless I missed something, Araeph is not a Puella Magi. So, uh, yeah.
And Madoka loves and accepts everyone, regardless of whether they accept her!
Homura made it without falling into despair, Madoka destroyed every witch that would ever exist in the past, present, or future, and the world went from a place where all Puella Magi are doomed to become hellish monsters to one where they all get to go to essentially-heaven. A bit bittersweet, yes, but by Urobochi standards, that's amazingly upbeat.
(Why do my comments here disproportionately involve talking about PMMM?)
However, "bittersweet" just doesn't suit me.
That's why I am writing IrregularS right now.
/when/ the Unbeliever is smitten! :D
(Smiting, yay!)
...the Smiting Centre.
http://bonsaimallorn2.webs.com/BastSmite.htm
Weirdly gory but quite convincing/amusing. Heh. I SMITE THE ALL WAYS.
Is there a method you prefer above others?
When the Avengers come out.... oh, oh oh, oh no, I just thought of--
But beware! For is it not written, "Be careful what you wish for"?
(Yes, it is. In the Way of Mrs Cosmopilite)
Magical Church of Fabulous Animation Wonder!
hS, muahaha
What would an SK shrine/altar (which?) look like? Would it have a statue, and if so, would the statue wear a crown? Or other jewellery?
hS
Yes, it's really funny. Actually, that joke hadn't occurred to me--I thought you would mention something about the whole diety-cloned-and-is-a-ten-year old thing, but yours is better than that.
Well, she still doesn't have a physical body, so I doubt she'd be hanging around in a visible sort of way, but I could see her commenting occasionally. Probably not all that often, though, since as she herself pointed out, she's got the entire history of the world and every Puella who ever lived to keep her company. ;)
You know, Madoka sitting down to have tea with the SO would be kinda funny, actually.
*knows naught of whence ye speak, seeing as my knowledge of anime is extremely sharp and focused on a few fandoms- but from what you've said about Madoka, she seems like the opposite of the SO*
Well, she can't. She can only appear to those who are A) Puella Magi and 2) About to become witches. Still would be interesting, but not possible with what we know about Ultimate Madoka. :(
It falls under "killing a canon character".
Still, would PPC Agents be able to see Kyubey during missions?
Nah, Flowers wouldn't be too scared to drag Sergio by the ear back to FicPsych.
Yes, Agents should be able to see him--we can see what the viewpoint characters see (sorta) so he should appear clear as day.
And okay, I gotcha. That could be... extremely amusing indeed, then.
Maybe she helps out at FicPsych, disguised as a nameless intern?
*just looked up the TVTropes Pantheon* You, si'am, are my hero.
Not sure which.
I am a guy, by the way.
It's just sometimes hard to tell. ^^;
In fact, very often I discover that a Boarder who I thought was a male is actually a female, or vice versa.
Ob...viously. /alanrickman
She would never stay with such a pesky individual.
I'm pretty sure it's in the mythology somewhere...
hS, meddling
...can never die, but rises again, stronger than ever!
Which means a) it's funnier that way (for me - and it's my website :P), and b) there's bound to be someone with a contrary point of view - such as a recruited badfic character who was friends with a Sue who became the real god there and defeated the evil 'Saint' so-called Kaiser in pitched battle with flashy lights and everything... yeah, and so on and so forth.
(I admit the SK shrine was the most tenuous of the three. It may be repaired later - if I canf ind a funnier way to disable it)
hS
The point was, a Sue in that time period would be strange because that time is almost never written about in canon, so almost nothing is known. But on the other hand, it has superpowerful royals who would be controlled by their nation, and it is a trait of Suethors that they can villify pure and kind people. Well, should one of those fics pop up, I would definitely mission it.
Or the Church of Harmony, for that matter.
The utterly horrifying failure and trainwreck that was Mass Effect 3's ending?
Um. Well, everyone has their own opinion on the ending. I've never played Mass Effect, so I have no idea how it ended. Did it involve a schoolgirl sacrificing herself to rewrite the laws of reality and becoming a fundamental law of the universe?
No, it involved a lot of pain and suffering and ultimately being for nothing.
I personally really liked the ending. But again, everyone has their own opinion, so we should probably stop discussing this.
I think (s)he meant the Mass Effect 3 ending there, not Madoka.
(Incidentally, the end of PMMM is quite possibly the best ending to a piece of fiction I have ever seen. Period.)
I think Max just doesn't like Madoka's ending. While I'm sure s/he has their reasons, the board is probably not the best place to discuss it, at least in a thread about a new site.
...which is what I thought s/he meant. The ending of ME3 made a lot of people angry because they thought it was badly-executed/a cop-out/left too many loose ends/made no sense/whatever, but the basic events are rather similar- the protagonist merges their mind with a much larger force to eliminate the threat posed by the infringing monsters/antagonists. It's just that where PMMM tied up all the loose ends and caused all sorts of feels, ME3... did not handle it as well.
Anyway, shutting up now.
And the Sankt Kaiser Olivie is a good idea, too.
Oh, and the 100 meters thing is wrong. The body doesn't become comatose - Sayaka is clearly shown to be dead until Homura brought her Soul Gem back.
Really? Oh yeah, and in the video game, she started to rot.
No, it isn't. It's all Huinesoron's doing.
You might want to look into what goes on in case of custody cases, y'know, hS, if your wife is going around impregnating people, with presumably golden seed.
On the other hand, playmates for the small child is good.
...But why are we mentioning TvTropes?
(Though, Jay and Acacia's stuff's well documented on the wiki, killed fic pages aside.)
And because it's clearly a demon - it eats time, and spits out useless trivia. It fits.
(I know, I know. But surrealist incorrect in-jokes no one will get are all part of the 'demon-worship' thing)
hS
@_@
(And fair enough, there.)
Honestly, I wasn't that aware the message had been given out in the first place, so...
Yeah. You can get it to me via email at herrwozzeck@aol.com
Sending now.
hS
And I now have Permission! ^^ So, ja.
... and not to the rest of the thread: I can't send you the Message without your email address. So, please email me at the above address.

It's not "cute", it doesn't make you "like Germany in Hetalia", it's annoying and honestly, it's also very insulting to real native speakers like EF and I.
It's like your ignoring everything people tell you on purpose, y'know, and that makes me really upset with you.
Stop it.
Does this mean I can't randomly use Spanish (if I had Permission, that is?) Because I think it's fun, and the purpose is not to offend people, and I've been studying it for years now.
It appears Spanish and French are still okay, as the Grammar Nazis haven't yelled at me for using either of those yet.
Honestly? I thought *I* was annoying and pedantic.
It's just that, at least to me, your native language sticks out most. Hence the German.
Don't try to pull the "bullied" card on me. Trust me, I know what being heckled and yelled at is like from life-long experience. You're practically getting away with scratches.
But there is a thing called "reading over your posts before you post them" - if you already SEE you used German again, don't go "Oops, there I go again, silly me!" Delete the German. Write as usual. There, problem solved.
I'm just trying to stand up for something that's part of my identity. Please try to understand that.
Why can't we use foreign languages?
For no other reason because you think it's cool or it proves you know that language or you like that language.
Exceptions are, for example, agents who grew up with a foreign language and slip into it when angry/use the curse words.
You sure know how many anime-badficcers use the word kawaii, right? It's that kind of thing. (It becomes outright embarrassing when the word in question is misspelled/misapplied.)
Actually, the word 'kawaii' has made its way into the Oxford English Dictionary.
For better or for worse, it's part of English now.
You still wouldn't want to use it if you wanted to be taken seriously.
I'm really, really, really sorry. And I know, too, I'm making a mountain out of a bloody molehill.
I just don't see why British, for example, is okay, but using small amounts of German is verboten and using small amounts of (correct) Japanese makes you a weeaboo.
I get it. I totally get it. I'll go back through my posts and edit them. I'm sorry.
It's peering into another culture, saying "ooh, shiny!" and taking something without any regard for the context and culture in which it came from. Borrowing a word is very minor compared to, say, appropriating aboriginal art, but it's the same idea.
It's a... dunno, can I call it a dialect? Also, I don't know about others, but if a text switches between -re and -er, or o and ou isn't something you should do either.
Also, I'll let verboten slip because it has found its way into the English language as a loan word.
... 'the correct way of using the sharding language', of course. :P
(And on the spectrum of bad language use, where does Pernese cursing come in?)
hS, who also tends to throw in Eldarin, Tanith, and, yes, even German
I was responding solely to EF's comment about British being a 'dialect' of English. Admittedly that didn't include a response to anything you've said anywhere, which could be considered ignoring, but in that case I was also ignoring everyone else.
hS, confused now
I'm still too angry and depressed to write rationally, and I'm sorry for directing my emotions at hS. He doesn't have anything to do with it. Or at least, he's not the reason why I'm so upset.
It's just that I feel that nobody really cares about why I feel that way, and that I'm pretty much on my own with my opinion.
When you are able to write rationally, I would like to know what's going on, okay?
I was speaking fangirl!German again. FS was calling me out on it. I, being ornery, said I didn't see why fannish British was okay, but fannish German wasn't. A rather long, drawn-out argument ensued.
When you get into arguments like this. Listen to us going at it.
Okay. I still don't get it, but okay. Since it offends you so much, I'll stop.
... *smh*

was distinctly Pratchett-esque, and actually quite useful, as I've never really understood the Reorganisation.
That Battle sounded epic.
This is... actually remarkably convenient. I've had plans for a Puella Magi and a Majo Shoujo (yes, I am perfectly aware that that may not be real Japanese. The CAD in that particular story thought it had a sense of humor)pair of agents who worship Kaname Madoka, Concept of Hope, savior of the Puella Magi. My original plan was for one of them to have three Madoka Figmas in Her three forms set up in a little shrine, but this new temple thing works really well, too.
If we want to worship a canon of which no CIC is avaible, what should we do?
And the Generic Room link doesn't work. It links to Legal instead.
... now.
Well, you have multiple options there. For instance, you could use the Generic Prayer Room. Or you could... not.
hS, silly
