Not everyone can catch all of their typos before submitting a post. The non-editable nature of posts on the Board means that pretty much everyone has spawned a few minis at some point.

Here, have a package of raw bacon for Narina to eat. Minis love raw meat, and it'll keep her/him(I can never tell with dragons) from getting restless and gnawing on the furniture. It's a short step from a dragon gnawing on things to a dragon restlessly roasting things, and that's something nobody wants to clean up.

HEYO! by Valiril Erquentien on 2013-11-30 13:30:00 UTC Reply

Hey everyone! I'm Valiril Erquentien, or just Valiril would do because my whole name is such a mouthful. Even 'Hey, I forgot your name!' is fine.

My attention is mainly focused on Tolkien's wonderful work and Hetalia, but sometimes I delve into the kingdoms of Narina, Doctor Who and Harry Potter. I have created two Agents of the PPC, but haven't posted them yet. Their names are Lista and Svana. My favorite agents are still Jay and Acacia.

I LARP once in awhile.

Here is a pound cake, boasting the edibility and preservative properties of dwarf bread. May it serve you well in every encounter calling for a blunt instrument.

What... what did you write here? by Sergio Turbo on 2013-12-01 17:47:00 UTC Reply

The Board's resident Italian cringes at your butchering of his language!

I don't know what you wanted to say exactly, but if you wanted to say "Hello, colleague" it would be just "Ciao, collega!"

*pust professor glasses on. Yes, OVER his prescription glasses*

The article isn't used in this kind of sentences, and "mia" is actually female form, but I don't see any hint about Valiril being female here. (Male form is "mio", and there is no neutral form in Italian)

Eh... by Valiril Erquentien on 2014-01-15 06:52:00 UTC Reply

Sergio...The truth is...
I'm female. Really. -ien in Elvish means 'Daughter of-'.

Oops. Sorry.

Come la distruzione di lingua per voi? by Troll-Jumper on 2013-12-02 01:27:00 UTC Reply

Non sono i traduttori di Internet la migliore? Oh, non guardarmi così! Tutto quello che voglio è vedere contorcere! Lo sai che ami. Beh, che dovrebbe essere abbastanza macellazione di vostra lingua madre per oggi.

And after screwing around with Google some more:

Traduttori su internet sono i migliori? Oh me, non credo che la colpa! Vorrei amo vergogna! Lo sai che mi ami. Non per ora, giusto il tempo sufficiente per fallire la lingua di oggi.

He he he...

But seriously, your language is beautiful, and I wish I could be bothered to go and learn something other than English. Oh well.

I am terrible at not-English. by lovinglydull on 2013-12-01 20:28:00 UTC Reply

Speaking as someone whose most formal education in Italian is Assassin's Creed, I realize that my clumsy attempts at salutation are definitely not up to snuff. Regardless...

*similarly dons bulky philosopher-type glasses over his own glasses, whilst withdrawing a pipe*

Is it more important, when greeting a stranger, to have a properly-constructed greeting, or to have a heartfelt greeting?

... Wait. I just realized that the two aren't mutually exclusive, and are equally important. So philosophical arguments don't actually work.

I apologize for my butchery of your mother tongue, Mr. Turbo.

It's fine. by Sergio Turbo on 2013-12-02 08:57:00 UTC Reply

It's a bit of a peet peeve for me.

Also forgot. by Sergio Turbo on 2013-12-01 17:52:00 UTC Reply

"il" is a male article, so it can't go with "mia" at all. Either "il mio" (for something male) or "la mia" (for something female)

Hey! by Green Armada on 2013-12-01 13:34:00 UTC Reply

Hello! It's nice to see another Hetalia fan (so far I only know one person).
Here, have a urple sugar cookie (large). It's delicious - just don't look at it.

Hey! by Valiril Erquentien on 2013-12-04 03:17:00 UTC Reply

Hello, my fellow Hetalian. Have a glomp!

As for the cookie...NOM NOM NOM.

What is the translation of your name? I'm a fair Tolkien geek myself (I do a lot of RPs on tumblr these days) and I enjoy learning about ward meanings and such, and I can't seem to figure it out.

Have a bag of pebbles and a Random Shiny Object!

My name? by Valiril Erquentien on 2013-12-04 03:15:00 UTC Reply

It's a very poor translation of my actual name's meaning. It should mean Divine Lady, but it's a werid mix of Sindarin and Quenya.

Hello, Hola, Bonjour, Helo by Storme Hawk on 2013-12-01 04:09:00 UTC Reply

Welcome.

Have an urple colored pencil.

Err... that's all I have to say for now. Enjoy your stay at the PPC.
Welcome! by Autumn_68 on 2013-12-01 02:36:00 UTC Reply

Hello, 'Hey, I forgot your name!' Here, have a wilver party hat! You can grab yourself some cake over there *points towards birthday celebration going on* and some Bleepka.

Since Des already linked you to the Constitution and the FAQ: For Newbies, here's the links to the other FAQs:

http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ:TheBoard
http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/GuidetothePPC
<a href="http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/MissionWritingGuide">http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/MissionWriting_Guide

Oh, and do check out "On Permission To Write PPC Stories" above on this page. It's very, very important that you read, especially if you haven't.

Happy reading! And enjoy the PPC!

~Autumn

Big Thanks: by Valiril Erquentien on 2013-12-04 03:19:00 UTC Reply

Oh gosh, thanks for the cake and Bleepka. I came across this BadFic the other day...*shudder*

Hello, Boarder of Way Too Many Syllables! by son_of_heaven176 on 2013-11-30 23:39:00 UTC Reply

Welcome to the PPC! I'm guessing that since you are a Tolkien fan, your username is in an actual Elvish tongue, yes? There happen to be Boarders here who can tell if it isn't!

As for your newbie gift:
*rummages through bag of holding*
Here, have a Muggle-Use Wand! It will come in handy for your Agents once you get Permission!

Thanks! by Valiril Erquentien on 2013-12-04 03:18:00 UTC Reply

Thanks! Lista will like that!

HelloÂ… I didn't forget your name, I can't spell it! Help! by Legacy on 2013-11-30 20:36:00 UTC Reply

But other than that, welcome to the PPC.

Just one question for today: What's Narina? Is it supposed to be Narnia?

So yeah. Have a fluffy velociraptor, and enjoy the ride!

Yeah. by Valiril Erquentien on 2013-12-04 03:27:00 UTC Reply

Um, sorry about Narina, but she's now a Mini. I HAVE A PET! CONFETTI!

My name's Valiril, but I guess V is fine?

Hello and greetings!

I give to you a lined Infinite Notebook, featuring urple covers and wilver bindings. Avert thy eyes!

Have a decorative wreath! And a piece of fudge! And a thumbtack!

(Be careful with the wreath - trimming branches may anger the ents!)

Oh my. by Valiril Erquentien on 2013-12-04 03:30:00 UTC Reply

I'll be well aware! Thank you, I do love fudge very much.

Welcome to the Board! I see you've left a mini-Dragon in your entry post, so here it is back! Take good care of Narina!

Oh my god. by Valiril Erquentien on 2013-12-04 03:24:00 UTC Reply

I am so sorry. I am so sorry that I just facepalmed and slapped myself. On the other hand, I do have a pet!

Thanks for Narina!

I made one in my entry post too by LightDarkPheonix on 2013-12-06 18:03:00 UTC Reply

It's name is Discword (or possibly Tweeflower...) and I have to constantly keep him away from my Cybermat.
*rummages* Here's some steak.
*rummages some more* Also, a solitary toothpick. It's bled, so don't look at it directly.

Hi, Person-Who-Uses-Lots-Of-Exclamation-Points! Please leave your sanity at the door. That said...
It is required that you will read The Constitution, as it is, well, the Constitution. I assume you already know about The Original Series, but here's a link to the useful wiki and that place where people sometimes hang out. You should also probably read this.
That said... have this cup of very good green tea. Just don't let the leaves eat you.
