You have a noodle stuck somewhere it shouldn't be. The good news we can remove it, but we will need a duck. And you'll probably need some therapy. Which is also the bad news...But the other good news is, if you don't therapy at some point during your career here, you're doing it wrong.
Yes indeed, the game where the rules are made up, and the points don't matter. Yes, like the Daisy's troubles are to the Flowers, they just don't matter. I'm your host, The Host! My parents had very clear dreams for me as a child. Sadly, I never had much skill at law, so I became a game show host instead.
Yes, this is the PPC Board version of Whose Line?, where you, yes, you, the boarders, get to have some fun with some improv and mini-roleplay. There are many games we will be playing, and the fun only stops when you want it to! Or when Iximaz posts her next five missions and pushes this post off the front page. So, roughly three days.
To start off, we will need some suggestions for our first game Scenes from a Hat. Here is how it will work:
The first reply to this post will be by The Hat, saying, "Place Suggestions Here!" You are to reply with your scenario for us to react to under the name "Suggestion". Quotation marks are optional. For the title box, put "Official Unofficial Suggestion". Then, to make sure nobody reads the scenario before I choose it for the game, you are to post the following, exactly, into the text box before your suggestion:
NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING! NO PEAKING!
Then, post your scenario suggestion. These can be PPC related, Real Life, fandom, whatever you want. I would highly suggest that everybody read This Guide from /r/ScenesFromAHat before writing your prompts.
The prompts will be picked at random by me for getting posted for you all to react to, in any way you wish. Whomever has the cleverest response will receive the points for the round. If your suggestion or quip is not selected, don't take it to heart. All it means is that I probably don't like you very much.
Right, that should be all the rules we need! I would say they will be updated as needed, but what's the fun in that? Chaos is always fun! Besides, the Board doesn't have an edit button...
Let's play!
Let's see if we can get in a couple of rounds before they call for a break!
Things overheard in the Bleepka Bar.
"Real people aren't teenage girls' toys any more than Morgoth is, but they still write that trash about them."
"I turned around for one second, and when I look back, my partner's standing over a pile of dead canons, screaming "WOLVERINES!""
A noodle and a duck. I don't even know how that's possible.
(Because let's be honest, they never have a motive.)
... 1000 points to Darkotas.
Every PPC spinoff, every post on the Board, every PPC related thought is all part of this massive story that he has masterminded and is executing through mind control.
*Adjusts tinfoil hat*
And won't say what it is.
"That we've got rid of the console beep. Enjoy!"
But you'll have to go through Glitter dialysis and probably some therapy as well. Make sure you talk to your partner, OK?
We found a way to save you! But... You might want to avoid holy water from now on.

"Well, I have good news and bad news for you."
"No."
"Well, it's only a matter of time."
"Do you like safe working conditions, fair pay, and actual benefits? Well, TOO BAD!"
"What, amazingly bad?"
"Nope. Best in the entire multiverse, and absolutely free for all agents. We bring back people from the absolute brink of death multiple times a day!"
"What about pre existing conditions?"
"Depends. Is it a defining character flaw or aspect?"
"Uh... Maybe?"
"We'll check in with Medical to be sure when we're done here. Anyway, do you have any Lust Objects?"
When Iximaz posts a new mission.
Ooh, new mission! "My Inner Exposed Immortal Celebrian: A 36-Part Series".
Just eighty more to go until 100!
They say sanity is overrated,
And I really hope they're right
For alas, I've found it's easier
To not put up a fight...
The first also has a sequel song of "Vacation? What vacation? (How did you get one?)"
Changed my mind on how best to spoof that line.
+reprise/follow-up number: I've got those console blues.
Also, "Back in Black," sung at the beginning as an Iron Man reference.
"Uh... I'm pretty sure that bit's supposed to stay on the inside."
"That is definitely illegal in France. Especially if you're doing it to him."
I know how fun Cards from a Hat is, and will gladly continue with the prompts until this thread is kicked off the front page. Perhaps beyond, if people are still playing. However, how do you want to handle the other games? I was planning on playing Alphabet, or If You Know What I Mean. Perhaps Hoedown or Irish Drinking Song, if I could get the game to work in text form.
My question is, do you want me to keep this thread for Cards from a Hat, and start new threads for other games later, or do you want me to keep all Whose Line activities in this thread? It's all up to you, I'm flexible.
I was involved in a small RP a small while ago that was essentially this, we were able to do Song Titles (so having a conversation made up purely out of song titles) which I'm sure could be converted, and Newsflash, trying to 'report' on Gangnam Style was 'fun' to say the least.
Either way, I think new threads per game would probably be better else it'll die out quickly.

I'll need a can opener, potato peeler, ice pick, and lastly a duck.
So we're getting some vets to come in and help us perform surgery, I mean all living things are the same right?

I guess just respond to both. I'll pop back in later to see how this all works out.

Things you can say about Cafeteria food, but NOT your partner.
I just about woke up the rest of the house, dammit!
I still haven't gotten a list of Pokémon from you. If I don't have a list by Friday, I'll have to remove you from the roster.
I don't do Pokémon Showdown. It's no fun poofing a perfect team into existence without any effort.
It is starting to smell.
"If not, allow me. Mine are... special.
One set for every shade of grey.
For the mathematically challenged, (World-Jumper) that's 1000 points!
That's it. Host, shut this thread down, this is the best you are gonna get.
A little while longer, at least. We want everyone to play along!
Don't worry, you can still put in your terrible suggestions to the hat. Nobody is judging you for it. Well, except me.
((Seriously though, keep putting in more suggestions. These are great!))
Your prompt is:
Things Agents cannot say to the flowers.
Congratulations! You win 1356 points, one for every seed in the Sunflower Official's head.

DISQUALIFIED FOREVER!!!
Wait, what am I talking about? The rules are made up anyway! Forgive me, you're free to play. However, for not following the rules, you get a -21 to your point score, one for each mission.
Anyway, for future reference, I will make an example suggestion post. I'll steal one of yours because I'm lazy and thinking is hard.
I suppose Rose Potter could count as one mission... Make that -15 points instead. Because I am a kind and merciful host.
