Let's try this again. Big Sibs/Little Sibs! by Iximaz on 2015-05-14 16:13:00 UTC Reply

(Have a link to the Wiki page.)

We've got quite a few newbies running around now, and I think now might be a good time to try making the Sib Houses a bit more prominent than "oh yeah, that's a thing".

Newbies, basically, an older Boarder (Big Sib) 'adopts' you as their Little Sib, answers questions you have (or directs you to someone who can answer), and basically just shows you the ropes.

Oldbies/Middlebies/Inbetweenbies, we need more Big Sibs.

So, guys, let's try and make this work!

I'll choose Grave Energy Initiative as a Little Sib. by Silenthunder on 2015-05-17 12:31:00 UTC Reply

I don't really care who the Big Sib is.
I know I'm not all that experienced here... by [EvilAI]UBEROverlord on 2015-05-16 21:42:00 UTC Reply

But I would be perfectly willing to help out the newer members.
Little Sib please! by OrangeYoshi99 on 2015-05-15 00:29:00 UTC Reply

And for the house, it can be kind words and a two by four or skull goblet, I don't care witch one.

I'd volunteer to be your Big Sib. by Desdendelle on 2015-05-15 00:36:00 UTC Reply

I think Little Sib is good for me... by Matt Cipher on 2015-05-14 23:54:00 UTC Reply

I don't feel too confident yet to give any kind of advice. As for the House, I'll gladly join the GEI house :3

Or, maybe, just anyone who wish to have me as a Little Sib? by Matt Cipher on 2015-05-16 21:14:00 UTC Reply

I have some skills... I'm good at crossword puzzles...

While I'm not in House GEI... by Desdendelle on 2015-05-16 22:50:00 UTC Reply

I can certainly adopt you as a Little Sib, if so you wish.

Red & Silver sounds good to me. by Matt Cipher on 2015-05-16 23:44:00 UTC Reply

Sign me up, good sir!

Arighto, then. by Desdendelle on 2015-05-17 00:16:00 UTC Reply

My mail is already mentioned in this thread, so feel free to drop me an email any time about whatever subject.

I decided I'd like to be a Little Sib! by Alleb on 2015-05-14 22:42:00 UTC Reply

(This seemed like the place to say it, and I apologize if I should have put it on my previous post.) House Grave Energy Initiative sounds like the place for me, if it's okay. So.. Am I assigned a Big Sib, or do they request me, or do I ask for them? I'm up for anything!

Hm... by Desdendelle on 2015-05-14 23:25:00 UTC Reply

It seems that the only Big Sib in that House is EileenAlphabet, and I haven't seen her in quite a while. Hm...

Oh.. by Alleb on 2015-05-14 23:44:00 UTC Reply

That's unfortunate. House Kind Words and a Two-by-Four also sounds good, if that's easier.

If you want a specific Big Sib, you can ask. by Iximaz on 2015-05-14 23:24:00 UTC Reply

No guarantees they'll take you on, but it's probably a good chance they will. If you don't want a specific sib, someone will (hopefully) volunteer. :)

So.. by Alleb on 2015-05-15 20:18:00 UTC Reply

I can see on the wiki that you're already Big Sib to another Boarder, but there are other Big Sibs paired with more than one Little Sib, so.. would you be my Big Sib? If you don't want to be I'm totally fine with it- honestly.

I'm game for that. by Iximaz on 2015-05-15 21:18:00 UTC Reply

And honestly, it's probably time Shy graduated. She's been around long enough she knows what she's doing. :)

Awesome! :D by Alleb on 2015-05-15 21:34:00 UTC Reply

Thank you so much! I looked at her profile and saw that she'd been around for a little bit, and that she had two agents, so I though it'd be okay to ask. So, do we exchange email addresses, or does that come later?

Yay! by Iximaz on 2015-05-15 21:37:00 UTC Reply

Now's as good a time as any. I'm iximaz(AT)gmail(DOT)com. Shoot me a message anytime, I'm pretty good about responding.

I'll go ahead and edit the Wiki to add you, but I won't remove Shy unless she says it's okay.

Cool; thanks! by Alleb on 2015-05-15 21:42:00 UTC Reply

I'm allebknight(AT)gmail(DOT)com. Thanks again for being my Big Sib!

Right. by Alleb on 2015-05-14 23:49:00 UTC Reply

I'm not sure I'd want to ask; I don't want to impose or anything. I'm fine waiting for a volunteer.

As I say on my page... by eatpraylove on 2015-05-14 18:33:00 UTC Reply

I'm a Big Sib in House Kind Words and a Two-by-Four, pending your approval :)

*Neshomeh's, sorry (nm) by eatpraylove on 2015-05-15 20:09:00 UTC Reply

Say what? by Neshomeh on 2015-05-15 20:49:00 UTC Reply

I'm not sure why you'd need my approval. I don't oversee anything with the Big Sibs/Little Sibs. Anyway, my house is Darjeeling.

Available Big Sib here, though I am not crazy-available like I used to be, since I just started a new job. Still, I'm pretty good about answering e-mails, particularly if they contain specific questions that need answering. {= )

~Neshomeh
Well honestly, myself... by Edhelistar on 2015-05-14 16:45:00 UTC Reply

...I´m intersted in three of the Houses:

*) House Grave Energy Initiative. I love worldbuilding and language construction. In fact, my current ongoing project, that I use for school projects, is the creation of mythology, with world and languages to go with it.

*) House Kind Words and a Two-by-Four. I would be Little Sib here. My English grammar still needs work.

*) House Parmandili. Every time I get in to a fandom I research it to the point of obsession. I'm actually tring to learn Dovahzul (and I was sorely disappointed when Kryptonese turned out to be a cypher), and many, many other stuff.
I support this, by Desdendelle on 2015-05-14 16:22:00 UTC Reply

as is obvious from the fact that I am a Big Sib already.

I support this from the sidelines. by Huinesoron on 2015-05-14 16:28:00 UTC Reply

As anyone who's exchanged emails with me can confirm, I'm not a good person to be a Big Sib - I tend to stop replying at random intervals. But I support this! I think it's a nice, simple-yet-robust system which can ease the transition of newbies into the PPC community.

Also I think the houses have an awesome set of shields, but I miiiight be biased. (Also, I can't remember whether anyone ever noticed the subtle theme in them... hrm.)

Well, now that you mention it... by Neshomeh on 2015-05-14 16:55:00 UTC Reply

There's the metals, but you outright explained that one, so that can't be it.

*takes another look*

Hmm... VWXYZ, yes?

~Neshomeh

That's the one. ^_^ by Huinesoron on 2015-05-14 16:58:00 UTC Reply

It made the design work easier, let me tell you.

(Also the 'P's on Parmandili, but I think I explained that one as well. And... oh, there's probably more stuff, but the letters are the only outright theme. I think. Prove me wrong!)
