New Girl on the Block by MintyCoolness on 2012-03-19 21:53:00 UTC Reply

Hey there, MintyCoolness here, new to this place and looking to ingratiate myself into this place. Can someone help me please?

I suppose I should tell you all a little about myself. I tend to dip in and out of fandoms, but the ones that I have stayed with constantly are Yu-Gi-Oh (even though I have only seen 3 series of it), Legend of Zelda, Dragon Age and the Shin Megami Tensei Series(or the Persona Series). I like slash (totally respect those that don't) and hate it when a slashfic is written poorly or the characters used in said fanfic are OOC. I am eager, curious to a fault and methodical.

I have read the constitution, but am at loss as to where to start. Can someone please help me?

Hi! Your welcome fudge is on its way, with all the intro posts I had waiting this morning the supplies are running low.

Welcome to the Board! Here, have some chocolate, won't you?

Have a sharp dagger as a present!
(Don't ask what the glittery stuff is. Don't like the knife, either)

Don't know if you should trust me with a dagger, especially if I am hyper. The glitter's annoying though.

Greetings, new friend! Have a bar of dirt! Excellent for uncleaning things.

Thank you, have an internet cookie. Flavour tends to change though...

Tastes like chocolate. Rain.
Yes, chocolate rain.

Another Dragon Age fan? by HerrWozzeck on 2012-03-20 04:08:00 UTC Reply

Sweet! *dance*

Though honestly, Bioware's kind of killed any chance of me getting DA3 thanks to that stunt they pulled with Mass Effect 3's ending. I mean, seriously, Bioware?

In all honesty, though, Dragon Age is a pretty cool franchise.

So welcome to the PPC! =D

Here, have some Schoenberg for the road: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6LyYdSQQAQ

Thank you very much for the welcome and the Schoenberg. (Never heard of him but could get into it.)

Yeah, I didn't need another excuse to faith in yet another video game company. Square Enix was bad enough...

Oh here *hands over odd shaped cookies* have some internet cookies. Be careful though, the flavour tends to changes, much like the internet. You never know what you are gonna get.

Hey there! Have my patented home-made Bleepolate truffles, with all-new spring flavors!

July pretty much covered the bases for how to get involved, and I second the whole involved-in-community.

Man, I love Zelda, and I really really need to finish Dragon Age and play the other games. Most of my experience with Persona was a tabletop system. I have the games, though; I really need to play them sometime.

Yeah, the best place to go from here--besides keep hanging around the Board, of course!--is to just sit back and read. It'll be hours of good entertainment, as well as just telling you a lot about us and what we do.

Welcome a-Board!

Well... by nakkel on 2012-03-20 00:26:00 UTC Reply

It's a long and difficult road ahead of you, friend. But you can start by taking care of this wild haggis that I captured(I call him "sheepmeat") and getting yourself a claymore, and I'll see you on Friday for caber tossing lessons. We'll make a Scot out of you yet!

Oh, you mean the board. Well that's much more mundane. Read the Original Series and the Constitution, check the wiki, you'll have it in no time.

Welcome to the Board! Have some of my world-famous hydrophobic water! Proven to contain just as much energy as U-235 with half the stability!

Welcome to the PPC, Minty.

You started off with an excellent first step, which is introducing yourself here.

Now, the next bit, if you haven't done it already, is to read TOS- the original PPC series that was written by Jay and Acacia- and then the various spinoffs that catch your eye.

Since you're interested in LoZ and Dragon Age you might be interested in Aster's spinoff, which I am sure she will be glad to link to you when she sees this thread. She has more than a few LoZ

Beyond that, just hang around! Read our wiki! Ask various levels of stupid and not-so-stupid questions (preferably in threads that are already present)! Plug badfic to bemoan over (preferably in threads that are already present)! Plug goodfic to rejoice over (preferably in threads that are already present- we also have a rec center on the wiki)!

The super important thing though is to take part in the community. Comment on threads! Read spinoffs! Join in on the bemoaning and the rejoicing and the random! Take part in conversations here on the board and in the chatroom. Get to know everyone here.

But again, welcome! And feel free to join in on the chatroom.

Have a deck of Yu-Gi-Oh cards. There's a Blue Eyes White Dragon in there, somewhere. :)

And I'm not entirely sure, I'm a n00b too. We can be n00bs together in our n00bness.
