A small question

Another question. by Micharion on 2014-05-28 03:49:00 UTC Reply

Since this was answered and this thread is here, instead of making a new one, I do have a few more questions about the PPC that I really should have asked earlier. Would an online RPG be considered a canon that someone could have an agent from?

You mean like an MMO? Sure, it's happened. (nm) by Ekyl on 2014-05-28 03:52:00 UTC Reply

I'm pretty sure the "movie" would count as a canon. (nm) by Ekyl on 2014-05-28 01:54:00 UTC Reply

True. by Micharion on 2014-05-28 01:58:00 UTC Reply

But there is one thing I forgot to mention. The part of the review that holds the storyline has a bit of a crossover feel. The review could very likely be entirely removed from it and the storyline itself comes under some problems, like having the main character intimidate a character like Wolverine. I really don't know how to explain this and keep in the PPC rules.

If you're being so vague I'm not sure how helpful we can be. (nm by Ekyl on 2014-05-28 02:07:00 UTC Reply

This is actually nothing new to me about being so vague that I am unhelpful. His name is the Irate Gamer and in the parts of the videos that aren't game reviews he has some character from that game or series the game is based on be with him for some reason. I am more asking since in the penultimate and ultimate videos for his "movie" he used the megazord. I don't think I am leaving out anything too big to mention this time.

Also I do not suggest looking up his X-men review since generally he plays the characters in question. The disturbing thing is that he is rather weighty and dressed up as Storm in that one.

Oh. You were talking about him. (nm) by 99Hedgehog on 2014-05-28 06:28:00 UTC Reply
Oh, those. by Ekyl on 2014-05-28 03:02:00 UTC Reply

I'm a little unsure how we count those, actually. His own storyline for his reviews would probably be an original canon, but I don't think those snippets would be taken as the canon character literally being there with him? Those portrayals are separate enough from the character's actual identity, and they're there for a specific enough purpose (that isn't really intended as fanfic) that, combined with the storyline's position as its own canon, it would probably be harmless to the original continuum. There are Real Person Fic implications too, but usually reviewers like IG are portraying a character as opposed to using an alias or something so we can maybe discount that.

To get at what I think you're getting at, though, and correct me if I'm wrong, no, the PPC wouldn't go into an Irate Gamer review and kill him for say, having Storm or a Megazord show up.

Right and wrong. by Micharion on 2014-05-28 03:15:00 UTC Reply

More so the storyline is just outright terrible with his character being an outright Gary Stu which has angered me about it before. The thing is about his whatever he wants to call it is that he also is trying to profit off of it with DVDs and the Megazord fight had outright stolen footage. Of course, my question probably has already been answered about this. Also I wouldn't have asked for the PPC in fact I would have probably done so myself just not bringing the PPC into it since his Mother has issues, I'll leave it at that. One concerning thing that she said makes it seem like either Irate Gamer and Bores are one and the same or that she is very far removed from reality.

If he's profiting off that, it's a breach of copyright. by Ekyl on 2014-05-28 03:19:00 UTC Reply

That is, of course, illegal, and if anything I'd suggest contacting Bandai's lawyers.

Yes by Micharion on 2014-05-28 03:22:00 UTC Reply

That is something that was discussed about it but we were debating whether we should or should not do so. One of the reasons we have for not doing so is that we don't want to give him more ammo than he already has against us. But it think some of the necessary people have been notified and so is out of our hands now.

Thank you very much for answering my question.

I will refrain from saying the name since I don't know if that would break PPC rules since it could very easily be considered an insult against an author.

PPC rules govern the conduct of the community, not others. (nm) by Ekyl on 2014-05-28 03:37:00 UTC Reply

PPC rules. by Micharion on 2014-05-28 03:40:00 UTC Reply

Yes but this kind of goes into why I am so shy and didn't post much. Not the rules but my own fear that I would break them. Let's just say that I have a lot of issues. Sorry, to be such a downer thankfully with this answered and done I will be a lot more upbeat.

It's fine. by 99Hedgehog on 2014-05-28 06:29:00 UTC Reply

True, we have more rules than most, but after a short time it becomes easy to obey them.

The rules really boil down to a few meta-rules... by Techno-Dann on 2014-05-29 03:32:00 UTC Reply

In short, respect your fellow boarders and try to get along with them. The Rules are mostly just a longer enumeration of things you should or shouldn't do to help with that.
