A small question by

This is something I have been wondering for a bit now. A certain youtuber has stated that a few game reviews he made makes up a movie. The thing about this supposed movie is that the storyline is bad to say the least. I was wondering what was the precedent for something like this in the PPC. Sorry if I seem rather vague I am both trying to not insult the guy in question while also trying to not give him views I feel he does not deserve.
Also, I would like to apologize for those that think I am just coming out of nowwhere posting here. I did a greetings thread and a small post at one point and not much else. I am just rather shy. I don't know what to post most of the time and this question I have been having. -

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?

I was thinking of kind of having my first agent be one of my characters from Adventure Quest. Right now all I have is a barebones kind of character though. Might as well tell what I have I have thought up though.
Agent name would be Micharion, not his actual name mind. He is a necromancer from Lore, name of the planet that the game takes place on for the most part. He is not very talkative and chooses to have the skeleton that helps him fight do the talking for him. Also even though he is a necromancer he has a very strong sense of justice and the skeleton that he is with is a friend of his that passed before his time and let himself be reanimated.
That is about as far as I got with that. -
I'm pretty sure the "movie" would count as a canon. (nm) by

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.

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. -

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. -

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
