Yay happy b-day just remember...The cake is a lie!

OFU registration by Kittythekatty on 2013-08-26 03:01:00 UTC Reply

So I guess we're all hijacking now?
Anywho, I've shared the OFU registration form with some people, but I've only gotten 2 replies.
I would appreciate it if you could reply ASAP. If you didn't get the form and would like to join, please don't hesitate to email me at kittythekatty@gmail.com

It's an OFU for Doctor Who by the way. I forgot to include that...Whoops.

I AM ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL by TopHatOfDoom on 2013-08-25 18:00:00 UTC Reply

You're right, once you hijack a thread, without a public service announcement to give, there really isn't anything to say.

So, a public service announcement. The cake is indeed a lie, Falcon7974 is correct.

*RELEASING CONTROL.*
HIJACKING THE THREAD! by VixenMage on 2013-08-25 05:45:00 UTC Reply

EVERYONE LISTEN UP

...what do you do with a thread once you've hijacked it, anyway? Does anyone have directions to the bakery?

The BAKERY?!?! by Huinesoron on 2013-08-25 10:02:00 UTC Reply

You dare to ask for directions to the BAKERY!?!?!

(Can I have a clash of thunder in, oh, one more sentence, please? Thanks
The BAKERY is... that way!

You're welcome.

HIJACKING THREAD ALSO. by Cassie on 2013-08-24 02:47:00 UTC Reply

Guys someone found out about Purple Stuff!

Look here for what I found.

Well, since everybody else is doing it- HIJACKING THREAD TOO by Legacy on 2013-08-24 17:27:00 UTC Reply

And putting out a want add in the paper for a sonic device. Sonic screwdriver or pen will do.

And I can't help but wonder if I was supposed to do this some other way. But, seeing as I've already done it, I'll hold to it.

Have a nice day, and see about that sonic device!

Aw, dang it. I put this on the wrong thread! (NM) (nm) by Legacy on 2013-08-24 17:28:00 UTC Reply

Ooh, capital nm&nms! by Outhra on 2013-08-24 20:04:00 UTC Reply

In special packaging, too! I'll save these for erasing a particularly rancid memory.
In return, have a bottle of recently salvaged Purple Stuff! Those transdimensional splinter-cell businessmen are going to need to keep a better eye on it, or everyone's going to be taking some.

Are you going to need all of those? by DemonFiren on 2013-08-24 20:10:00 UTC Reply

I'd had the intention of grabbing a bag, then you came along.

I still have some of the lowercase flavor, so... by Outhra on 2013-08-24 21:22:00 UTC Reply

You can take a bag or two of those instead, if you still want any. I'd just like to keep the bag of capital ones.

Sorry, got enough of those. (nm) by DemonFiren on 2013-08-24 22:34:00 UTC Reply

Huh. Causality must be leaking.

Hijacking to pitch an idea by Falcon7974 on 2013-08-28 01:28:00 UTC Reply

Hey there is this IRC chat site called RPHaven I think. And I was wondering would anybody be willing to form a PPC rp group there and possibly do stuff for the department of bad roleplays?

Review of that. by DemonFiren on 2013-08-24 13:37:00 UTC Reply

Eight out of ten, and I didn't know Polyjuice Potion came with sweetener.

It apparently doesn't taste that bad, however, and gets you rather tired.

They must have needed to get rid of even more of their Stuff than usual, and didn't even have time to bother renaming it. The distributor may have been a small faction that broke off from the main group after the latest corporate coup, and needed to sell the Stuff off to raise money quickly. That's how multi-dimensional corporations work, right? Like non-protagonist countries in fantasy books, always overthrowing their leaders and dealing with splinter cells because... business, I guess?

Yes. That is what is going on. The formerly-known-as-PPC Bioengineering noblemen are probably going to react by sending their financial wizards to secure the rebel province, only to find out that their entire shareholder portfolio was being manipulated by the Stock Rider as part of his plan to achieve a complete monopoly of the industry. The distribution of Purple Stuff is just pre-fallout. So... fall-in? I don't know how that term would work. Either way, it would make for the silliest fiscal quarter ever.

They're just 'BioInc' these days. by Huinesoron on 2013-08-27 09:44:00 UTC Reply

Mostly because I got fed up of remembering whether it's 'Biotechnology' or 'Bioengineering'... ;)

Anyhow, this sounds like exactly the sort of thing they'd do. I somehow doubt the Horsetail will approve of his rebellious subordinates' actions - perhaps after the current negotiations with the League are concluded, we will see some 'organisational restructuring'.

It would appear that PPC politics(?) is more complicated than I had first assumed.

Outhra, Have you received my emails? I haven't heard a thing from you yet.

I'm working on my response now. by Outhra on 2013-08-24 21:19:00 UTC Reply

You should get the new e-mail this evening, or maybe tomorrow if something problematic comes up on my end.

Hijacking to send a message about the Other Board. by Outhra on 2013-08-24 00:24:00 UTC Reply

On the main page of the Other Board, the links to the PPC Constitution and the "main PPC content page"(I'm not sure what that means, but it may have been another Board or an early version of the wiki) are currently both dead. They appear to have both linked to a site called Oddlots originally, but now only redirect to one of those "this site was not found, so maybe you mean one of these" browser web searches.

Could someone with sufficient knowledge change where those links go? I know that there's at least one person active who can change the Other Board, because there's a reminder to read the Constitution at the top of every page that wasn't there a few weeks ago, but I'm not sure who it is, so I can't ask them directly. It might have been Huinesoron, since he was the one who changed the main Board's header a while ago, but again, I'm not sure.
I assume this was intended to respond to the birthday thread by Outhra on 2013-08-23 21:33:00 UTC Reply

Unfortunately, you appear to have started another thread entirely. Responding to the top post is no different from responding to any other post on the Board, and the "Post Message" tab on top is the button to start a new thread, not a reply function.

If you know all of this already and my response here is just embarrassing or annoying you, I apologize. If you didn't, well, mistakes happen, and hopefully the information here will prevent a future problem.
