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.

Please don't hurt me is not a great way to say hello... by Aeidhryn on 2010-07-30 17:35:00 UTC Reply

  Experimental physics, ooh. Cool.
  
  Meh, we're Sue-haters that send out figments of our imagination into other people's imagination and kill them and bring back trophies and laugh about it later and personally I'm in love with explosives and you're telling us not to hurt you...
  
  Nah, we won't. Really. Really.
  Seriously.

  Hey, what fandoms are you? Have you read the Original Series?

Fandoms by jakraziel on 2010-07-30 20:30:00 UTC Reply

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).

Sounds good. by Aeidhryn on 2010-07-30 22:29:00 UTC Reply

Then you'll know how to upkeep the Wikia (ppc.wikia.com). I don't. So, you have good skills. Goody!

wiki by jakraziel on 2010-07-31 00:21:00 UTC Reply

We have quite a few templates and things that I'd happily give over to any admin who wants a go.

Templates by Neshomeh on 2010-08-01 05:24:00 UTC Reply

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-earth
Continuum:
It should look like this:
Home
Continuum: Middle-earth
And 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. {= )

~Neshomeh

I have an idea by jakraziel on 2010-08-01 12:40:00 UTC Reply

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.

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.

I will have with cream and marshmellows and then do my best to look manly.

You are welcome by Lleu on 2010-07-31 23:22:00 UTC Reply

Manliness is overrated when hot chocolate is on the line.

Hi again by jakraziel on 2010-07-30 00:11:00 UTC Reply

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.

Nah, I don't poke that hard. by Neshomeh on 2010-07-30 01:32:00 UTC Reply

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.

HFA by jakraziel on 2010-07-30 02:39:00 UTC Reply

I've just seen your name in the Hogwarts Fanfiction Academy, you are currently running from a giant snake.

Ah yes. by Neshomeh on 2010-07-30 04:48:00 UTC Reply

Yeah, that's me. Not one of my finer moments. {= ) I've enrolled in a couple OFUs (not OFUM, though, sadly. I was a bit late for that one). However, I appear with far greater dignity in the sequel to HFA.

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.

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.

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've been unclear by jakraziel on 2010-07-29 00:52:00 UTC Reply

I'm from England and studying Physics.

Ah. Oops. by Sedri on 2010-07-29 12:02:00 UTC Reply

My apologies for the confusion. On the other hand, ambiguous syntax is fascinating and I'm going to wander off into the acadamia of my own major - Linguistics - to break that line down into syntactic trees. Excuse me...

;)

Hullo! by Gen on 2010-07-28 23:37:00 UTC Reply

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.

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.)

Physics by jakraziel on 2010-07-28 22:54:00 UTC Reply

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.

Lucky!! by Calista on 2010-07-29 02:17:00 UTC Reply

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.)

Good stuff by jakraziel on 2010-07-29 12:55:00 UTC Reply

I'm only second year so I don't know where I'll end up yet.

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?

Fandoms by jakraziel on 2010-07-28 19:46:00 UTC Reply

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.
