Please don't tell me I've messed up again.
Is there any requirements for boarders to complete in order to participate in rps like this one? If so, what are they?
Sorry for wasting your time or bugging you if this message feels like any of these types to you.
but as far as I'm concerned, the only thing you need to do is read everything that's been posted on the thread so far. If, after doing this, you find that the RP is your style, then by all means join in. The more the merrier, no? Just write your posts so that they fit in with the story as it stands, to keep from disrupting the flow. I will, of course, attempt to tailor my own posts so that they take everyone into account.
On a side note, bugging me is a notoriously difficult thing to do. And if I felt the Board was a waste my time, believe me, I wouldn't be here.
Acid sounds good too, I guess. I just inspiried by the water thing because the Witch from the Wizard of Oz melted when it got on her. This and the fact that water ruins make up, I thought it would be a good idea if the gem produce water.
Maybe acid could also be part of the package along with the water...you don't mind if I add that power to an emerald that I carry around like the sapphire this time, will you? Or should I think this through some more?
I've thought of the make up thing because it usually hides the real face. Wash that off and you see a bit of the true face. Sues, being unnaturally beautiful, hides their true nature by brainwashing canon characters and bending the universe around their desires in a canon-verse. As a result, no canon character will question them at all and the Mary-sues will live out their fantasies without interruptions. However, remove said powers and beauty, and you have nothing more than a very flat characterization-wise and possibly fangirlish creature.
It's okay, SttQ. Sometimes I don't think things very through.
I suggested to SttQ that she might have fun with a roleplay because, as said below, we were jokingly exchanging laughs down on the "what would you blow up?" thread, which in turn started because things were tense and I wanted to lighten things up. It was never meant to be a serious PPC-canon roleplay, just a continuation because she seemed to be enjoying it, and I didn't have the time, but I suppose I should have been more clear about that. The reason I suggested using the other Board was because it would've been hard to find here.
So if anyone's going to insist on throwing around blame or criticism, don't direct it at Sister-to-the-Queen, okay?
You didn't have to do all that, but it's very much appreciated. Next time I have a few hours free, I'll sit down and take a look :)
By the way, if you happen to like horror of the 'gets-under-your-skin'-type, I know a website that'll keep you busy for weeks.
the RP is back on track. This time I've tacked on an explanation, so no-one has to be afraid of disruptions to PPC canon. For those of you who are still interested, here's the new link.
Operation Sueicide - Preface
Was making a second thread really necessary?
The oldest thread on the Message Board, an automatic welcome message, dated back to 2008, and it's still there. So I figure there's no harm done.
It just means that board hasn't been used to the point of dropping a thread off.
Reposting something as a new thread for little reason is generally frowned upon in any forum setting.
is this. The first post was soon followed by a cancellation message. If I had followed this with a continuation message, and then picked up where I left off, it would have disrupted story flow, like a really long and annoying intext author's note. I didn't want that to happen, and precisely because the Message Board sees comparatively little use, I felt I could get away with it.
My reasoning may have been defective, but I just wanted you to know.
And continue from there.
It would have done little to disrupt since all that came before would have soon vanished as the RP continued- if anyone else took part.
... why don't we let this happen? Yeah, it's dramatic, but that's the point of RPs, right? It's with Boarders, not Agents, so let's put it in the same category as snowball fights and the Boarder Shipfic Fest and have fun with it.
I know you just posted a cancellation message, but I figured I could add my two cents anyway, for what it's worth.
You're absolutely right. If I start a new thread on the Message Board, explain clearly what the 'backstory' is for the new RP, and then repost the beginning of said RP, no-one can possibly misunderstand and we can all have a good time.
Thanks a ton, pal, and I hope to see you soon.
I ruined my last one (which was actually in Canon) but I think that I could do better this time.
I'm fully aware that it wouldn't be canon. It's just that a few days back, Sedri and I were exchanging posts, and this idea sort of materialized.
If I'm doing something I'm not supposed to, please let me know, okay?
it wasn't meant to be a PPC interlude (because I'm aware of the effects that would have on PPC canon), but a Board interlude, with the real us, the Boarders, as participants. You know, just like the last RP over on the Message Board.
However, since the way I explained things has caused so much confusion already, it's probably a good thing that I just left a post cancelling it on the Message Board. I already suspected I hadn't been here long enough to have the right to start an RP.
And by the way, Lycaenion? Thanks for defending me. I really appreciate it.
Does this particular RP count as a PPC RP? Or as a Board RP?
May seem like a stupid question, but I always like to be sure.
