When I first entered University and was informed that students could get 3 drinks for the price of one... things have not been quite the same since.
Hello, I've been reading PPC works for a while and have decided to try joining in. I'm 20 years old, English and an Experimental Physics student. I hope to write some missions at some point. I look forwards to talking to you all and please don't hurt me.
Hello! Sorry for being late.
Have some pollen-free lilies, a contact for a good therapist and a bottle of raspberry wine. Look forward to talking to you too :D.
Hello! Welcome to the PPC! Here, have a pet cat. You may name her whatever you wish.
I shall call her dog for the purpose of confusion.
I Have read the original series, as well as a lot of the others. I'm like a lot of fandoms but the ones I'd like to protect and the Star Trek and Jak and Daxter ones. slightly off topic, but I admin a wiki devoted to the Jak games (jakanddaxter.wikia.com).
Then you'll know how to upkeep the Wikia (ppc.wikia.com). I don't. So, you have good skills. Goody!
We have quite a few templates and things that I'd happily give over to any admin who wants a go.
I think I'm some sort of admin. (JulyFlame definitely is one, since she created the wiki.) I've had a very brief look at your site, and I do wonder if you could tell me how to fix the infoboxes so that, in instances where the category names are long and the line wraps (such as "Home Continuum:"), the data lines up with the colon. Basically, instead of looking like this:
Home Middle-earthIt should look like this:
Continuum:
HomeAnd any other such tricks and tips. I'm interested in knowing how these things work myself, not just borrowing from others. So far I've taught myself how to do everything from formatting to making infoboxes to making disambig tags from scratch, and I don't plan to stop doing things that way. {= )
Continuum: Middle-earth
We don't arrange our infoboxes like that, but if you look at.
This for how ours look: http://jakanddaxter.wikia.com/wiki/Hellcat_%28Airship%29
and this (click edit for the code used): http://jakanddaxter.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Airship
I'll talk to the other admins on my wiki. If they can come up with a way to fix the exact problem, I'll post it here.
Meh, I'm no admin
Welcome to the Board! I am also new and looking forward to writing missions at some point.
Have some House Roac hot chocolate — it's delicious.
Regards and welcome,
Lleu Llaw Gyffes
I will have with cream and marshmellows and then do my best to look manly.
Manliness is overrated when hot chocolate is on the line.
Enjoy!

Good to see you a'Board. Welcome!
Oh, and lest I forget, your honorary first poke! *pokes*
^_~

Glad you found my post, I'm gonna be a round for a while. Out of all the things I've been given so far a poke is the most... painful.
You shoulda been here a few years ago, when "first poke" was a race and you could have second, third, and even fourth pokes. *g* Anyhow, guns and frying pans can be painful, too, if someone uses them on you. And kittens, too, for that matter.

Fair winds!
Welcome to the PPC! Here, have some chocolate, and enjoy your stay!
Have a mini-particle-accelerator.
My father is also a particle physicist, and he's English, and I considered majoring in physics but decided I preferred history.
I do like particle physics, its like pokemon but with the building blocks of the universe.
Do not feed it Sues.
Can you suggest any animals that I can feed them to?
Not Ctulhu, though. He's getting too fat from Sues.
My father's a particle physicist, BTW.
Welcome! Have a cosmic string! (May or may not actually exist.)
Welcome to the Board! Please deposit your sanity in the provided receptacle. *indicates bucket marked "Warg Fodder"* You shan't need it here. Also, here is a lovely bunch of coconuts. You'll have to get a hammer from somewhere else.
When I first entered University and was informed that students could get 3 drinks for the price of one... things have not been quite the same since.
Here is a kitten. You can name him whatever you wish. =)
It'll never melt ;)
Interesting combination of majors. And of course we won't hurt you, don't worry the Flowers are another question, but we'll pretend I didn't say that.
Nice to meet you.
I'm from England and studying Physics.
Have a panda that eats, shoots and leaves!
I'm a bit of an optical physics person myself. I've got an experiment going that involves lasers (OH YEAH). Primarily a chem person, though.
Here's also some heavy rubber gloves so you don't shock yourself. If you have any cats, make sure they don't try to play with it. Oh, and don't ask me why it's staying as a glob without a containment device.
Ok I’m going to take this and show it to the Noble prise committee.
Hi, jakraziel. I find myself having to inquire about the story behind your name, too; it has an interesting sound to it. I'm Makari.
My welcome-gift: leash-and-harness set. Flame-resistant, comes in the color of your choice, and fits most brains. :D
You're a physics student? Nifty. What, exactly, separates experimental physics from all the other sorts of physics? (please pardon me if you get this question all the time.)
We are the one who focus more on testing theories and gathering data. The others are theoretical ones who try and come up with theories to explain the data. Basically the other guys sit in front of a computer and make calculations, while I fiddle with laser, liquid nitrogen and spinning weights and make graphs. So far it's only come close to killing me once.
I love physics, but my grades went *poof* when I tried to major in physics. So I switched to engineering.
I only get to work with recombinant viruses, poor me! :) I'm a senior now, so I've done a couple of internships. Going into biomedical engineering (i.e., designing medical technology.)
I'm only second year so I don't know where I'll end up yet.
Help yourself to a venomous arthropod or your choice!
Great to have you here! Welcome and hail met, and other such phrases. I present you with a welcoming gift of a bag of pebbles and a Random Shiny Object. May you use them well in the defence of Canon!
Hello! Have a seventeen foot long, multicolored, wool, knit scarf (curly wig not included), and a bag of jelly babies.
Please use them IRresponsibly!
Welcome aboard! Allow me to be the first to present you with two things (well, one thing and a list): A Frying Pan of Doomtm, and...
The List 'O Links! (snerched from Tawaki)
*The Original Series
*A partial list of killed badfics.
The Board:
*The Board Constitution
*Board FAQ
Other wiki pages of note:
*A must-read article on Permission.
*A basic guide to the PPC itself.
*Mission-Writing Guide
*Slash-Sporking Guide.
*FAQ for Newbies
*I don't know how much experience you have with editing wikis, but just in case...
And one more, very general link.
I'll get this lot read to check I know it. Now to go and make some bacon and eggs of doom.
Physics? My parents are both space physicists, so I'm fond of the subject (though I'm more of a literature/history person myself).
What fandoms are you into?
Star Trek, Legacy of Kain, Jak and Daxter, Prince of Persia, Zelda, Doctor Who, Discworld and Power Rangers. I could go on but I think thats enough to be going on with.
Don't be worried, we don't bite! Hovere, here's a gun. It will be useful if you start writing missions, and can be also a good way to defend yourself if someone here goes ax-crazy. However, this usually doesn't happen.
Worryingly one of the characters I have planned uses axes....
