That is BRILLIANT. We need to have an Acid-testing Division in the PPC.
How do different types of Sues respond to different types of acid?
A lot could be done with that...
--Mystia, interest piqued
In an RPG I joined, one of the players started a post with this:
They're somewhere in the middle of Oxford and by the middle he means middle-of-nowhere, because there's nothing but countryside for miles. All lush green rolling hills and the occasional spectacle of grazing livestock.
I was confused at first because I've been to Oxford and it doesn't look much like that, and then it dawned on me the person likely meant Oxfordshire, so in the OOC post I said "Just a note: it's Oxfordshire, not Oxford". Tonight I check my email and I have two people jumping on me. One says "I think she knows what she was talking about when she made the post", to which I replied "Unless there's a part of Oxford I haven't seen before, then based on the description in that post, it sounds like she's talking about Oxfordshire, not the city of Oxford."
The other was downright hostile: "Just a note (and unlike the first gentleman, I mean this to completely be a bastard): Obviously your perception is skewed. This is not your journal and certainly not the place for you to come criticizing anyone. So, uh, kindly redraw that line and step behind it. Better yet, let me help you out.
______________________________________________
There you go, go on and step right on behind that. Thanks for visiting. Come see us again soon. :D
I'm out of line correcting a detail? MY perception is skewed? *twitchtwitchboom*
I tried to be polite when I replied with "No offense was meant and I'm sorry if it came off that way. I was pointing up a detail I noticed and I wasn't aware pointing something out in the OOC area was out of line. I didn't criticize anything she wrote or how she was portraying the character, I pointed out an error in a place name. Big difference. So sorry if people here mistake that for criticizing them."
I checked a map of England and when I looked up Oxford, it came up as Oxford, Oxfordshire, UK. Have I missed something and saying 'Oxford' goes for the city and the surrounding shire?
...Or near enough (Buckinghamshire/Oxfordshire border) Oxford is the name of the city, Oxfordshire is outside the city limits. There IS a very nice botanic garden in Oxford, but it isn't THAT big, and the only livestock are waterfowl who will come and mug you for food!
I didn't make it to the botanical gardens when I was there, unfortunately. Next time!
We're on your side. Comfort yourself with this thought: that thin skin of theirs won't hold out long. Eventually they'll be sorry. (Of course, acid may help speed the process...(
If nothing else, I knew I'd get a sane, intelligent, reasonable response from y'all.
Put the acid away, Sedri. I see you holding it there behind your back, trying to pretend like you aren't! ;p
*hands over acid beaker* Would've been fun... *pouts*
Find your own thin skinned person to acid etch!
*And goes off stalking the person behind the spam-bot*.
Might I enquire, what kind of acid is this? Because I only use Grade A Basilisk Poison as mine. It burns, AND it kills if you don't get burnt.
I used it in my first mission. *evil cackle* Thin skin won't last long...
Because it does nifty stuff when poured on sugar.
...I wonder. What would it do when poured on a sugary-sweet 'Sue? Food for thought. ^_^
And never forget little Willy.
I go with Prussic acid all the way! It is rather toxic!
Hydrogen flouride, all the way, baby!
But I am a fan of getting `Sues to "accidentally" add together glicerine and nitric acid. The fun is never ending.

prussic acid makes things go boom when it contacts them...
My favourite acid would have to be nitric - explosives are so much easier with it around...
I believe this requires some empirical testing. *wicked grin*
that it will be enlightening *Evil grin*.
Find a sugary-sweet 'Sue
Find her glass or bottle of water
Replace the contents of said glass/bottle with sulphuric acid, which just happens to be clear. Please do this without the 'Sue noticing.
Wait for the 'Sue to take a drink.
Take detailed notes and share.
...okay, so I'm partial to sulphuric acid. Oh well.
well, not a mission, exactly, but an interlude in HQ. *grin*
...not quite as the procedure directed, but close enough.
I have no idea if I've actually managed to be humorous. I try, but... yeah. It's not something you can really judge for yourself.
The Agents mentioned are the ones I plan to write on a fairly regular basis once I get Permission. I'm fairly certain that, since this is technically not a mission, it's fine. I hope.
Here.
*hides under table* First piece of writing I've even vaguely shared with anyone associated with the Board. I welcome concrit. : )

--Mystia, interest piqued
that it would fall under the purview of the DMSE&R
much more thoroughly than I have. *bookmarks it for future use*
I feel a thorough laggard for not having even touched it before this moment. Thanks, Ansela!
--Mystia, finally active again
And a Bleepolate Cake...
I snickered when I saw my name, or at least, my Agent's name. And c'mon, the Basilisk venom killed TWO Horcruxes in Harry Potter, they've gotta be at least slightly corrosive.
Heheh, that's true. Don't tell Kat, though; she'll still assert that it doesn't count. :P Perhaps she just hasn't read HP in a long while.
It's almost enough to make me do chemistry... almost... anyway, good job, and nice writing style.
We should try dousing Sues with different types of acid for, er, scientific research.
The fact that it will be cathartic amusement as well is merely an added bonus and not the reason we're doing it, really...
No self-satisfaction here! M-mh! *looks innocent*
Agents Sedri and Iza would like to volunteer the results of their previous experiment: ingestion of hydrochloric acid. The results were... interesting. *grin*
(erp; I'm running late. No time to write up details or find the link for you - it's on my livejournal, first mission, part two. I'll come back later today.)
Forget concrit - I have none. None, nothing, nada.
*drags Makari out from under the table* EXCELLENT! Excellent, excellent, excellent, excellent, EXCELLENT!
*dances around like a crazy monkey- then realises this*
Ahem. I am calm, sane, and dignified. I'm also holding hydrochloric acid, so watch what you say.
Don't be shy, Maraki; go ahead and dance around and be as elated as I was when my first mission got positive replies. Don't go NEAR that table. ;p
*happy, happy, happy...*
I can blush. I never used to do that.
*pokes mini-Boarder* Do you want her, or shall I? :P
And now... the happy dance. On TOP of the table, just to be contrary. :D
I was typing rather fast... you can have her, if you want. She'll probably hate me, and she's your namesake...
Tabletop dancing! Good on you!
Unless I've had my Permission Giver status revoked and no one told me.
*double take*
...I've only been hanging around about two weeks... granted, I'm familiar with the original series, the wiki, and a good number of the spin-offs, but... *flails* ...not that I'm gonna say no or anything, but...
Now resisting the glomp urge.
That was funny - definitely Permisson material. No surprise that TZA gave you Permission with that quality of writing. Well done! :D
The time thing is, as far as I know, just there because it's helpful to set a date, rather than just say "whenever we think you've been around enough".
Glomp away, as long as you think TZA isn't holding a weapon - or hydrogen flouride.
"4. Katrina is not allowed sulphuric acid."
I think that goes for just about any other agent who is wildly spontaneous and even slightly Sue-icidal.
