I thought we replaced them with the DIA.

If they'd had a little more imagination/less interference...

Can you say battle droid army with Out of Canon weapons?

Since I'm married to him, and have in fact been a PPCer for longer than he has, I can say this without being a -- hm -- suckup.

hS has spent nearly six years with the PPC. He has been an active poster the entire time. He's written hundreds of pages of PPC stories, written over forty characters, written and acted in the Playscriptes/Radio Plays, organised multiple Gatherings, created two PPC websites, crossed the Atlantic three times to meet up with people he knew from the Board, and seen the Board through almost every one of its major crises. He has respect on the Board because he's put more time into the PPC than anyone else has, ever. He's earned that respect. When you've put as many hundreds of hours into the PPC as he has, you'll have the same respect. Until then, kindly stop projecting your insecurities onto my husband. Thank you.

which means that his writing is as valid as anyone else's. It's hardly his fault if we all like it, is it?

Look, put it this way. Your PPC writing, and anyone's, for that matter, is considered canon once it's published. It's considered to Have Happened in the world of the PPC. And so does his. It's just he's tended to add to the greater mythos etc etc rather than just do missions.

No respectable, constitution-following PPCer would ever shout down another for merely suggesting plot changes.

Like I said, we're all sheep.

1. To the best of my knowledge, hS has never claimed to own the PPC.

2. It is possible, however unlikely, that others might find hS's work the "Holy Grail of PPCing" and like his plots. You're both entitled to your opinion. If they feel like "sucking up", why not? It's not like there's an official leader to hand out perks for it.

As my mother used to say, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. We're not here to bitch about the way some members treat other members.

And hS has contributed a lot of stuff that we all like. He's put in a lot of effort, and that's worthy of respect. I don't suck up to him - I barely know him - but I'm in awe of the amount of high-quality work he's produced. I barely have time to write one mission every few months. That's worth respect.

It is. But we're all sheep, and we'll follow a leader if one emerges. If you don't like it...write your own fics. That's more or less what goes on, in any event. If it is one person's "pet project", it's because enough people like the idea.

Crossing the line? The line between a fun debate and a mud-slinging contest?

And the point is, it just shouldn't be done.

Droids would do perfectly- they've been used for such purposes in several canons.

1. And to annoy people, apparently, heh. The point is, nobody likes the Death Star idea, so it should be dropped already.
   
   2. The Sun Crusher having one pilot doesn't have anything to do with more than one being built.
   
   3. Everything has to have some internal logic to even be possible. The PPC is a comedy, but that doesn't have to mean it's totally stupid.
