Urple Prose by

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

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...

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

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?

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. -
I think it may be too complex an idea. by

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

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.
