Whenever someone makes a post with a subject and no message, the site automatically appends "(nm)" to the end of the subject. Sometimes people who don't know this type an "(nm)" themselves, leading to subjects that look like this:
Subject (nm) (nm)
Those generate NM&NMs.
Hello there People of the PPC! I am TwisTedR3V3NG3 (RESPECT THE CAPS) and am interested in joining you people! I am a guy, my favorite color is bright green, and I like anime, manga, books, movies, video games (especially Bioshock and Planetside 2) along with Hobby Class R/C and editing and reading fanfiction. Hmm. Should probably have added some periods up in there... I have yet to read all of the Original series, but I HAVE read the constitution. If any of you have any tips or greetings, then please, give them! I would also like to show you guys a Hub Document for an idea I stumbled across one day. The gist of it is handing a story to as many people as possible and letting them contribute. So, I am handing over the Hub Doc and the main story for the entire project. We have an original story, a Fallout story, and are thinking about making a RWBY story as well.
Here is the link to the Hub Doc: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KzmLeNTKZIuf9qvU2y1GkEvO2qV5te1rksLBeG7ecQ/edit">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KzmLeN_TKZIuf9qvU2y1GkEvO2qV5te1rksLBeG7ecQ/edit
And here is the main story: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eNZ9KSZQfdT8mecViFrIIhTpLIX56F8zciVBrBwYd2Q/edit
Have a nice day!
How did you run across the PPC?
I've prowled around the wiki for so long that I forgot... bleeprin fumes anyone?
I won't even try to type that out!
So, an anime fan, eh? Do you happen to like Pokemon? Bakugan: Battle Brawlers? If you like either (or both), please check out the crossover that I am writing on fanfiction.net.
As for your newbie gift, have your choice of Starter Pokemon!
*Le Gasp* A STARTER POKEMON?!? TURTWIG, I CHOOSE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! Not a huge fan of Bakugan, but I'll probably check it when (if) I ever (HAHAHA) have time away from homework (sigh).
I'm 99Hedgehog, but feel free to call me 99. Here, have an authentic English Longsword!
The Emperor Protects!
Woah... is that a 40K reference? Thanks for the sword, too. I've always wanted one!
Green is good. I like green.
Your present: a green mini-hippopotamus!
Cool! I've always liked hippopotami, and having a small green one is awesome! Thanks again!
Since you gave us a Hub Document, your newbie gift is the Hub. That's right you are now the owner* of Hasbro's TV channel! Congratulations, and welcome to the Board.
* Note: sjosten holds no affiliation with Hasbro, and therefore cannot actually give you the channel. Side effects of false channel giving include, but are not limited to: headaches, nausea, swelling, intense disappointment, death, and mild aggravation. Contact your doctor if symptoms worsen while taking false channel gifts.
Now that you mention it, my head DOES hurt! Hmm. Nice pun/gift by the way!
Have a red-framed graphite drawing of your favorite fictional character and a magical step stool.
I'd read your thing, except I have far too much homework this time of year and recently got sucked into a new fandom which is taking far more than its fair share of my attention. Maybe in a month or so I will.
In the meantime, welcome to the PPC! This place is a real blast: please buckle your seatbelt and be careful when opening the overhead compartments, as things might shift during flight and hit you in the head very hard when you're least expecting it.
Ooh! What fandom is it? And cool gifts, thanks! I'm fairly tall, but now I can climb over mountains! I'll hang the drawing in my room... does it change when my favourite character changes?
Welcome to the PPC! We love newbies here, so take your shoes off, leave your sanity at the door, and come on in!
As a welcome gift, I'll go ahead and gift you some music by one Elliott Carter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eV0bLIMUvWs
Hahaha! I've never had very much sanity anyway, so no worries about that! I'm not the hugest fan of classical, but I'll check it out!
man,there seem to be a lot of new people these days!
I've just worked up the nerve... Maybe a lot of other people just stumble across it randomly like I did and thought it was cool?
The Hub Doc thing sounds pretty impressive. Tell me more about Hobby Class R/C, it sounds pretty cool.
Good on you for reading the Original Series. Have some popcorn and a Mario plushie. :)
Thanks, I like both Mario AND popcorn, SCORE! Hub Doc, yeah i'm proud of it. And about your question... prepare for a rant, MWAHAHAHAHA~
Well, I'm sure you've seen those little Remote Control cars at Wal-Mart and other such places, but these are, well, different. Let's say you jump a wal-mart car off your stairs. It breaks, no? Well, something from, let's say, Traxxas, will laugh in your face and shout, "LET'S DO THAT AGIAN!" Not to mention if it DOES break, you can find replacement parts that can be either the same or even an upgrade from the standard parts! You can change everything from the screws to the motor/engine (yes, some of them are GAS/NITRO POWERED), the ESC (Electronic Speed Control), or even the tires and suspension system! Heck, you can change the REMOTE! This class of R/C, along with being more durable and able to be repaired, are usually MUCH bigger, and even an electric model can go anywhere from 35 to 70+ MPH OUT OF THE BOX, not to mention being water proof. There is even an electric model that has two motors, two batteries, and will go 100+ MPH. The downside? It's ALL expensive. Did I mention that that is just the cars? There are rock crawlers, airplanes, helicopters, models with actual JET ENGINES, tanks that shoot BB balls, boats, aircraft carriers, battleships that fire, jet boats, submarines, sailing ships, spy drones, fighter aircraft, and some of these are bigger than me? For reference, i'm 5'9.
Did I also mention that it's expensive? For reference, my Traxxas Slash (cool name included) is roughly 300$. Here is a few videos showing just how damned CRAZY these things can be:
Massive Jet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrQPr1ZZCvA&list=PLJrxZRfqxDn2A80GJ2EauIRO_N8mfqEj5
BB Tanks made of actual steel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQexdLH7kAU
Slash video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJwFXm3W21o
By the way... these are expensive.
Here, take this X-men jacket and Nightcrawler Plushie
I always like wolverine, so thanks! Also, Nigthcrawler plushie... it's like you know me!
Have any of you wonderful people checked out the links? I would LOVE to hear your opinions. Keep in mind the owner isn't me, but a Mr. Rowsey.
Dude. (Or gal.) Patience. People here also have life outside the PPC. Most of them don't check the Board every single second to see if something new popped up.
Since the other people didn't do so, let me point you toward the Constitution, Wiki and Original Series (there're links on top of the Board) and offer you a cup of tea.
...
Just don't let the leaves eat you.
Oh, no worries! I actually did read the constitution, and I know people have lives, but I was just asking, making conversation. I've prowled the wiki for a while, so yeah, and I've read a bit of the original series, but not all of it. I think I was at the chapter with the Amazonian Sue? Thanks for the tea, but don't worry about me. I'm a scout! (Also, I'm a dude)
Though it did seem a bit impatient - it's hard to judge tone on the Internet and all that. Also: a scout? What sort of scout?
-Gets immediate HoMM 3 vibes-
Beware of the floating cat. She's mean. But yeah, RWBY? Ummm… not sure what to think of it since my brother watches it whenever he can and plays the soundtrack day in and day out. Heh.
Otherwise, enjoy this fluffy velociraptor as a welcome gift!
Wow! A fluffy Velociraptor! I'll have to find it a collar... Also, you really should try RWBY. If you don't like that kind of stuff, no worries, but if you like gunblades, anime, and humor... then this is a must watch. One of the main characters has an HCSC (High Calibre Sniper Scythe). It is hilarious, and by rooster teeth, the creators of Red vs. Blue. Also... what floating cat?
You like RWBY too? I'm pretty sure I've got some dust around here somewhere… Ah, found it! Careful--don't sneeze.
Hahaha... references never get old. Also, thanks! I've been meaning to do some research on it's properties, but had never managed to get any. What element is it? (also, Dust with a capital D. Sorry if being a smart***)

Hello and welcome!
I hereby have given to you a lined Infinite Notebook, complete with urple covers and wilver binding. Don't look at it straight on!
-Aila
Nice! Now I have a place to put my plot bunnies! I've heard of urple, but never wilver. I can only assume it has an unlimited number of pages? What happens if I look at it straight on? Am I asking too many questions? Yes, or is it no...?
...wilver originated in HFA, and is the worst possible combination of white and silver.
Indeed, it does have an unlimited number of pages! (Don't ask me how that works. I'll just point vaguely in the direction of DoSAT.)
If you look at it straight on, your eyes start bleeding. Well, I would assume so. I've never tried.
Questions are welcome! Very welcome! C'mere, likkle questions, you can cuddle, yessssss...
-Aila
Then I guess I'll just ask Sasuke, Itachi, or Madara! Their eyes bleed ALL the TIME! It's creepy when you think about it...
I have no clue who those people are, though. I'm not an anime person.
-Aila
Did I mention I'm Canadian?
