A lot has changed... by Mariko on 2009-03-21 00:38:00 UTC Reply

Hi! My name is Mariko. I hope to become an agent here. I heard about this place at www.livejournal.com/

You should see all the things that were added. I prefer the old ways of Jay and Accacia, though.

Anyway, I'm happy to be here, and hope I'll become an agent!

Good luck in becoming an agent.

Not sure if already asked, but what fandoms will you do?

also, Ever hear of something called a Bolo tank?

Hmm... by Mariko on 2009-03-27 00:06:00 UTC Reply

I'll do Naruto and Yu Yu Hakusho, I think. Unless you're short on members somewhere else?

And are you referring to the video game or the actual tank?

Here, have a mutated strawberry. You eat it or you can keep it as a pet.

BTW, will your Agents be based in a TARDIS or a Response Center?

So now I have to find molluscs? by Mariko on 2009-03-23 00:15:00 UTC Reply

Hmm... I prefer a Response Center.

We seem to have an influx of new people as of recent. Not that I'm complaining (or have room to complain, since I'm one of them).

At any rate, welcome to the PPC. I'm NovaKrazny, likewise new and likewise eager to get started. As a gift, I present to you a pen. Stainless steel, quick-drying black ink; perfect for writing up charge lists if you prefer to use a notepad.

Hey there! by Sara on 2009-03-21 03:28:00 UTC Reply

Have an egg whisk! It's shiny, gold-plated, and whisks not only eggs, but spambots and author wraiths! Use it for good and not evil.

Welcome to the insanity!

Hey! by Mariko on 2009-03-21 03:43:00 UTC Reply

Thanks, I could use a good spambot whisk...but do I have to use it for good?
^-^

Well, we tend to frown upon evil... by Sara on 2009-03-21 04:07:00 UTC Reply

...but zany antics are encouraged. ^_^

Do we? by Ugolino on 2009-03-21 04:34:00 UTC Reply

I think the PPC as a whole is more or less Lawful Evil, and many Agents could be considered "evil" for their actions (ranging from generic war crimes to destroying entire star systems)

I beg to differ by Gabriel on 2009-03-21 15:24:00 UTC Reply

Lawful Evil? Most of our agents are more Chaotic than Lawful. And not just those who go flamethrower-crazy. As for Evil, I'm not sure either. Most of our violent acts are the product of our agents' instability, not their moral stance.

We're just well-intented extremists, who have to leave everyday morality behind in the name of a greater good (namely, the preservation of the Plot Continuum). Utopia justifies the means.

Well, part that, and part that it's our JOB, heh. by kgarrett on 2009-03-21 21:03:00 UTC Reply

Far as I can tell, there's no "let the Sue live and continue to tear Canon apart at the seams" option. We kill them because we have to. A lot of the other work, like Bad Slashing, can actually be seen as kind of beneficial. But yeah, in summary, I'm pretty much agreeing with the "we only do what we have to, unless we've gone stark raving mad" (did I mention HE'S ON FRACKING FIRE?! [/obligatory Dwarf Fortress reference]) thing.

No. by kgarrett on 2009-03-21 05:11:00 UTC Reply

Also, can you please stop the tropespeak? It's a little annoying. And yeah, some Agents are kind of evil, but it's mostly the "have to do evil acts such as murder for the greater good" type. It's not that the whole organisation is evil.

Yay! by Mariko on 2009-03-21 04:18:00 UTC Reply

Do you mean that I can put bleeprin in the cafeteria food?

...or maybe make a batch of lemon raspberry vanilla cookies and give one to everyone in the building... after adding a special ingredient, of course.

Gods, I hope Acacia took her lovely little poisons with her when she retired.

Welcome! by Gabriel on 2009-03-21 02:58:00 UTC Reply

Here, have a cup of napalm coffee.

And, to remind you of the old days, I give you a bow similar to Acacia's. Make good use of it.

Thank you! by Mariko on 2009-03-21 03:05:00 UTC Reply

Wait...the coffee doesn't have bleeprin, right?

Old ways? Things are pretty much done the same way. by kgarrett on 2009-03-21 02:02:00 UTC Reply

Unless I'm misunderstanding you. Anyway, hello.

Old ways. by Mariko on 2009-03-21 02:54:00 UTC Reply

My friend got me interested in Acacia and Jay's stuff, and then I found the 'PPC HQ' on live journal. They have added a lot.

Oh, hello to you too.

Welcome to the PPC! Please leave your sanity at the door...yeah, in the bucket marked "Warg Fodder." We don't tend to have much use for things like that here. I gifteth thee with a shiny bit of crystal (it probably has healing powers or something else New Age-y) and two big black buttons. Enjoy!

Are you Japanese? (L's and R's are considered the same over there.)

And... no. I shall never join the Bedlam! ... I already joined the DAR-er backwards side. And we have lemon raspberry vanilla cookies! Vader and I shall never share the recipe! Mwahahaha!

Calling to obtain, I'm Japanese which does not have. I America and am white, but I speak Engrish for that pleasure very frequently. Actually as I now have done.

Old ways are good ways; no one's obliged to use all the additional details we've created. :)

Nice to meet you. I'm sure someone will soon give you all the links you'll need, if you don't already have them, so I'll just say welcome, yet again, and that it's nice to meet you!

Links? by Mariko on 2009-03-21 00:48:00 UTC Reply

Are you reffering to the constitution? Or is there some paperwork involved?

Not exactly by Sedri on 2009-03-21 00:58:00 UTC Reply

They're just the things we'd like every newbie to read, so we don't have to explain things over and over.

You obviously know the Original Series, so I won't bother with that, but here's the PPC Wiki and the very important article on getting Permission.

That's all, really. We'd like it if you looked around the wiki and read a few missions to get a sense of how we do things, but that's politeness, not essential.
