I think it may be too complex an idea.

Urple Prose by nielymoon on 2010-08-21 20:04:00 UTC Reply

Do you think that it would be possible to say, contain urple prose to use as a weapon or amplification for powers of some sort? This idea may have already been brought up, and if so, sorry.

Not sure about Urple Prose... by Rosie Azrael on 2010-08-23 04:59:00 UTC Reply

But Rose/Ross have a Kbifm, which was the result of horrible spelling while said Agent(s) were kinda S(t)u(e)'d. It's a knife which can sort of try to correct Suethor misspellings. That's the closest that I can think of on this score...

How so? by nielymoon on 2010-08-21 20:33:00 UTC Reply

What would make it a punishment? Would it be harmful to Agents?

As in unfaily cruel to the target. (nm) by Charlie DoDo on 2010-08-21 20:39:00 UTC Reply

Then maybe you could pack a Sue so full or urple prose that it explodes...

But what if, instead of exploding, the Sue absorbs the prose and becomes stronger?

Hmm.... by nielymoon on 2010-08-21 21:03:00 UTC Reply

Maybe at some point it will make them stronger, but,like all chemicals, too much will kill them.
This seems like a job for the DMSE&R. Someone needs to capture a Sue and try this.

From an agent's perspective, urple prose is painful and unstable, and probably akin to carrying around hazardous chemicals in a paper cup - too risky to be practical when there are other perfectly good weapons around. From a boarder/community perspective, I think there's just no need, and it does edge a bit close to our increasingly-cast-iron "no speshul powers, please" 'rule'. Still, it's a creative idea.

Perhaps, but... by Sister-to-the-Queen on 2010-08-22 20:12:00 UTC Reply

Perhaps, but watching the experiments take place might be a great source of stress-relief and entertainment for DMS agents.

True. by Sedri on 2010-08-23 00:41:00 UTC Reply

But when do any DMS agents have time for entertainment? The Flowers would probably ban it the grounds that stressed agents work better ;p

It's just that the more complex (and insane) ideas are very hard to incorporate into our already-jumbled PPC universe. At some point we just have to say "stop" and start keeping things simple. It is a shame.

Well, there's already enough of history and tradition and equipment and events and everything on the Wiki.
