There are a lot of people here who aren't native speakers - me (from Israel) and Sergio Turbo (from Italy), for example - but we do not act the way Dimensia does.
I am finding no mention of where recruits and interns live if they are not thrown straight into response centers as newbie pairs.
I could assume that if they have only one team that they train with, they are expected to live in their response center for the duration of the training.
What happens with the wandering trainees? Is there a barracks or guest rooms? Do they get their future RC without the console hooked up? Guest quarters? Sleep on any floor they can find or nap in the lounge? Any of the above depending on the writer?
Say that I can use my secondary team to do the permission prompts and I'll polish it up for resubmission.
Zdimensia, this isn't a negotiation where you get to haggle about what you're writing. People here have been trying to explain to you the issues here to help you. It's not supposed to be a fight.
Now, would you please apoligise for saying mean things about the oddly-colored people in the world? We kinda wanna keep hate in sites like 4chan and Tumblr, and not here.
I mean, who knows. For all you or I know, half of us could be black.
>oddly-colored
I'm sure that's not what you meant, right?
Besides, saying racist things is never acceptable.

Even were I say, blue, I'd still be offended if someone said I was oddly colored because it implies my skin color is unusual.
Best to put your shovel away.
(With this list I suspect the Andalites would prefer to be left off.)
Right off the bat, that brings us into the many, many, many colors of the My Little Pony continuum's titular sapient species.
You're right, I can see where that could end up going. Sorry...
Nobody's saying you can't take your characters and change them to be better. However, the caveat is that if you use a team for the permission prompts, it's typically thought of as your primary team, the one you've worked on the most.
Basically, this is throwing your "primary team" away.
Forever? Or just for a little while?
Actually my secondary team is the one I've been working with the most lately.
No, not forever. In fact, I sometimes debate with myself on reviving Shocker, the DAVD agent I originally was going to use. But if you do your permission request with this "secondary" team, people will expect at least the first few missions you write to be about them.
That is doable. A lot of frustration could have been avoided if I knew that in June.
And knowing is half the battle!
Is English your native language? Yes or no? If no, what is your native language?
I didn't get a chance to welcome you back properly before because I was busy running around the country attending weddings, so welcome back! {= )

Thank you kindly, my lovely lady!
I'm asking because these questions because the answers aren't easily findable.
Or aren't answered by the wiki. As in the case with how the PPC gets a hold of unpublished stories to recruit agents from them.
Sometimes a bit of critical thinking is required as well- something that doc has proven by showing you where to find one possible answer and also in Neshomeh's response.
While I understand that you want to write for the PPC and are doing so without permission anyways, I have a question for you:
How are you going to write anything if you can't come to conclusions or find answers on your own? It is something of a requirement as a writer, regardless of setting.
Well license to just make something up, even if it contradicts other stories, helps.
BTW, I want to read Mission: "Legend Of Zelda Love Story OCCx?" but it's dead. Do you still have a copy?
You don't have said license and are doing quite the bangup job of outright ignoring the points I have made and others have made before me.
As for that mission, I'm a long drawn out process of revamping everything, and once that's finished my whole spinoff will br available again.
"Ring Child" is clearly listed as the story a bunch of horses came from in the Sources section of the Courtyard page. Anyone specifically looking for that information could certainly find it.
I'm not even addressing the Permission thing. If you still don't understand the primary reason you were denied despite my previous efforts to spell it out, I can't help you.
~Neshomeh
Nope, it was a whole herd that didn't have anything to do with the nine walkers, and I think they came before Alice. I was looking under horses.
Surely that's not what you meant to say.
Rather, I am sure you meant to say you're lying.
Don't. This is your only warning from me.
The PPC does not abidr by liars.
I could say "programming is hard" and you could say "no it isn't" and rattle of the code in an hour. That doesn't change the difficulty. You could say the same about juggling, threading a needle, or managing to drive through an intersection without having to wait a really long time.
It's still an untrue statement.
Using the word purposefully implies that you can read what's in my head across the internet, which you can't or else you wouldn't get it wrong.
Replace purposefully with accidentally, or leave it out. Replace sympathy with leniency, perhaps. You're right about the information. Permission has nothing to do with it. I tried following the rules, but continuing to do so would just have led to putting in new requests every week and a lot of angst. Now it just a case of "whenever I feel like getting hazed again."
If this isn't a non sequitur, I don't know what a non sequitur is.
Non-sequitur is youthful slangy-speech for insult. Hence the "spouting non-sequesters won't help your case" which in context I guess "twisted ankle" is a grave insult.
I wasn't giving insults then, either. It's just like how an old DM wouldn't allow a character to be named "whipped cream" because it was dirty.
My response did logically follow, so I'm not sure why you said it was a non-sequitur. As far as slapping you in the face, did I use "thank you" wrong?
You talked about the badfics you were going to write when Des and Sergio's post had no mention of writing badfics.
Was your post supposed to be in response to them saying that the PPC is a community first and foremost? Was your post supposed to be stating how you plan to become a part of the community?
The badfics are to point out unreasonable behavior, like accusations that I do things on purpose. See? Makes perfect sense.
You're trying to tell us you think we shouldn't hold you accountable for your behavior because you're disabled in some way. Is that correct?
~Neshomeh
Just stop saying purposefully. You don't accuse an epileptic of flailing around for attention, do you?
Dimensia, epileptic seizures are in no way comparable to what's going on here. People disagreeing with you isn't the same sort of thing as someone insulting a person with a serious medical condition for having that medical condition.
Because-- and I'm not sure if you're doing this accidentally or intentionally-- almost every one of your responses in this thread has managed to push everyone's buttons.

While I understand wanting to put everything aside, I'd like to suggest holding off first to see how she goes about doing this?
While I still think it might be a language barrier, or at least some sort of communication issue, we still need to regain trust here.
But this specific problem, at least, is solved. I think.
It's not us who needs to regain her trust, it's her who needs to regain ours.
Though again, while I am aware my replies here were far more on the brusque side than is usually necessary, they are only formed as such because the many diplomatic and acceptably polite responses given to her before had found no traction.
When people don't get the message in a diplomatic way, it usually means brusqueness will just make them think they're in the right and you're oppressing them or whatever.
Though, to be honest, Dimensia's non sequitur reply to my and Sergio Turbo's post isn't very encouraging...
Sometimes I wonder if zDimensia speaks English as her native language or not. She misses what we're trying to tell her a lot, she can't make heads or tails of the wiki aparrently, and when she goes off in non sequiturs, it might be possible that she misread the post she's replying to by a lot.
Also, there's that bit with the "huge confusion" over here.
There are a lot of people here who aren't native speakers - me (from Israel) and Sergio Turbo (from Italy), for example - but we do not act the way Dimensia does.
So when she's not on a mission, she's on campus.
Hope that helps?
Samantha will be a Floater, but she's being intern-trained to be the acting head agent of the Legacy of Kain division for an indeterminate time. At the point where she would become official after training, she's humored in her request that translates into doing all those missions plus whatever her partner is cleared for. I could see her getting a RC right away, even the console only says "go to this RC center now for another training mission."
Larry is being properly trained because... I'm wavering on the reason. Right now it's passion and knowledge being worth whipping him into better shape. (Meta reason is that I want Samantha to consider him immature but capable.)
They get cracking right away. The PPC needs every man, woman, and child other life-form on the job at all times!
I don't know what you mean by "wandering" trainees. An intern is assigned a team or department to train under; they always have an RC to go to.
