Welcome to the Board! Please deposit your sanity in the provided receptacle. *indicates bucket marked "Warg Fodder"* You shan't need it here.

Um... hi... randomly stumbled upon the PPC wiki a few hours ago. All seems very interesting stuff...... Is this the right place to pick up WMD's for destroying Mary-Sues?
Hey, I didnt see any fandoms, and I dont think anyone else has asked (forgive me if I'm wrong). What ever they are, here is a wraith stun rifle. You never know when you may need to put someone out for a few hours. Happy Hunting!
Actually, I tend to follow a wide variety of fandoms. Mostly in the sci-fi/fantasy genre.
Er... hello and welcome, I guess. Will you be staying with us long?
Free candy...

With the general "aughgeezgawdplsno".
Is not things we want seach engines to pick up on, as well as the general augh thing it can invoke in people.
And also eesh.
Can you not use subject lines that deserve trigger warnings, please? Or must I go on that rant again?
Between this and the ffr wank, someone needs to be ranting.
...if she realises exactly what she said wrong there first.
In the meantime, I'll be sitting in a corner with your bottle of wine and my flashbacks.
Thought it was funny. Don't even have a van. Or any candy.
Whether you have a van or candy is beside the point. I'm a bit more concerned about whether you realise when you're using language that could be extremely triggering.
Wow, I know I have a knack for being a little annoying. Didn't think I could start a fight with my hello post. That's a little extreme even for me. But thanks for the warm welcomes anyway
My general rule is "if you can say it to your friend within earshot of a teacher and the teacher doesn't do anything more than roll her eyes and go 'kids...' it's okay on the internets". I think I need a new rule.
...It's really bothering me that, well, it doesn't come across that you know exactly what I took umbrage at here. In fact the impression I get is that you made what you thought was a joke, and you're contrite because it seems not everyone found it funny, and you're just smiling and nodding and saying "Okay, I was wrong".
For one thing, if your teacher says paedophile jokes are okay on the internet then your teacher needs firing.
For another thing, Counsellorface says I need to let people actually know what it is I need and expect from people, rather than getting arsey when people don't know and accidentally upset me, so I will say it outright now: Paedophilia is not funny. It is not a source of joking, and it never will be. If it is ever a source of amusement here, I'm out, and not coming back, because for me, it's not comedy, it's a source of daily suffering. I'm sure paedophile jokes are funny to some people. Same as the way rape jokes are funny to some people. To the people actually affected by such things, it's not so much funny as "hey, let's laugh at my pain". So can we please have a bit of consideration before making such hilarious jokes at other people's expense?
When it's something that people get hurt by, it's not funny.
I guess that just depends on how tough your teachers are really. Maybe you just need a tougher teacher. ;-)
Many apologies, wasn't your fault.
Also, hello!
Have an extraordinarily large egg. No clue what's in it.
Fair winds! Oh, you don't need a crew, the ship is sentient.
Here, have a seventeen foot long, multi-colored, wool, knit scarf (curly wig not included), and a bag of jelly babies.
Hello! As I'm sure you've gathered, not a lot of WMDs. You can probably combine a CAD with a really bad fic or Agent Pads to create a WVSLAD (Weapon of Very Small Localized Area of Destruction) if you want, though. Speaking of, have a CAD and a magician's top hat.
Have a chainsaw, instead.
Privet! Have a tin of Altoids. Creme de Menthe.
We don't really do WMDs. We're more into individually killing Sues with craftsmanship and also funky swords and things :)
Welcome to the PPC! Here's a dagger set from the Raven Armory and a bottle of bleeprin.
I can't tell from your post if you're joining us, or just stopping by, but either way, have a venomous arthropod!
Hiya,
I'm new too. So far they've stolen my sanity and given me a tiny tiny hat.
Welcome!
Stolen you sanity? Ee gads, does that mean there's some to spare? I've been hunting mine for years.
*looks at the somewhat random assortment of weaponry already on offer*
Then again, with a pile like that who needs sanity? :)
Oh, and yes, I was thinking of signing up.
