This isn't really about relationships or dating - it's more about... think of it as a sort of massive crackfic!fest, where the premise is "all of HQ is doused with hyper-reactive hormones and go into super-lust mode." So nobody's trying to set anybody up for a lovey-relationship where the Boarders go out for coffee and stare soulfully into each other's eyes and then get married.

I mean, last year there was a PPC boyband that turned into an orgy. I would place a great deal of money on the theory that a significant majority of participants in the first shipfests had never been in a relationship either – I certainly hadn't. It really is just for the absurdity factor - not to be taken seriously at all.

Shipping the PPC. by Huinesoron on 2015-02-25 10:27:00 UTC Reply

So hey, next month is the Shipfest - pardon me, the PPC Boarder Shipfic Fest - and in the same spirit as last year, let's list our ships!

This is not the Shipfest itself; it's not the thread for stories, or for signing up to say you're willing to appear in them. It's just a thread of pure madness wherein we list the pairings (and morings) we ship in the PPC community. And then the list will be used to kick-start the actual Shipfest, because that's heaps of fun. ^_^

Da Rules:

-List your PPC Community ships - people in the PPC community (not organisation) that you totally think are/should be together.
-Give reasons for your ships. Otherwise it's just a random name generator.
-Revenge shipping is perfectly okay!
-Shipping someone with yourself - if you're not actually in a relationship - should be avoided; that's a bit creepy.
-No stories. This is just a list. Stories is next month.
-Have fun! It's a ludicrous exercise in ridiculousness, after all.

If you have a vehement objection to being even mentioned in a ship name, speak up, and people won't do it; it's as simple as that. And again - when the Shipfest comes round, no-one will write stories with you in them unless you specifically give consent.

So... let the shipping commence!

I suppose I'm deVOID of any shippable qualities?

I'm told I'm pleasant company, but clearly friendly doesn't keep the ladies warm at night.

Just don't play any love songs. I hate those things, they rub it in my face that relationships aren't a thing I've ever done.

I'm full of these things.

Anyway, feel free to use me as a subject when the Shipfest does roll around, since I probably won't be able to write for it.

Stipulations: I am effingweird. I often hang around with strange people, online and off, and I'm a complete weirdo even by their standards. You can get an idea from reading the stuff I write for Valon; none of his train-of-thought stuff is exaggerated, I really do think like that. It's amazing how I can connect, say, scorpions to the largest storm on record (Super Typhoon Ty).

Now everyone get out; the Board and I want to have some quality time. ^-^

So, that's twice I've been shipped with everyone and once with the actual forum. This is probably going to end up being the weirdest shipfest for me. Speaking of, when will that officially start?

My plan is to wait until this thread has definitely died down, and quite possibly until it's dropped off the front page (which may be the only thing to stop it from continuing to grow...). Then I'll open up the Shipfest itself and get people to say whether they're okay with being in stories - and get down to work on Huinesoron's Even Tediouser Day, of course.

Voyd/Forever Alone Guy by Neshomeh on 2015-02-28 03:08:00 UTC Reply

Friendly advice: You keep mentioning how you don't do relationships and are basically date poison. You should probably stop doing that if you actually want to be involved more. Taking this game seriously when it could not touch reality with a fifty-foot pole makes it unfun.

Also, don't do the Nice Guy thing, especially if you're being serious. As an article I read recently expressed it (more or less), you don't get a gold star with the ladies just for doing the bare minimum of not being a jerk.

~Neshomeh

Ah, the Nice GuyÂ™. by Voyd on 2015-02-28 03:34:00 UTC Reply

That dude I avoid being just by... well, not interacting with women for the most part. I also don't blame women and accuse them of only dating jerks (demonstrably untrue), I tend to assume that I'm the problem.

I may or may not be bitter with low self-esteem.

Anyway, that's probably enough bitching and moaning from the dude in the corner. On with the show, I guess.

The only one who can fix that problem... by Darkotas on 2015-02-28 18:32:00 UTC Reply

...is you. If you keep telling yourself that nobody would ever want to date you, then it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Here's the thing: don't view women as something "different" from yourself. They're human beings too, with the same interests and aspirations as anyone else! Now, I understand that it can be very difficult to interact with those of the opposite gender if you're shy or simply just adverse to doing so, but if you ever want change... You have to bring it about on your own.

Here's what I suggest. If you want to practice interaction with the opposite gender, use what you have to your advantage. This Board has quite a few girls around - get their advice too! Don't view stuff you say or do around women in a dating context - make some friends of the opposite gender, and be comfortable doing things with them. It will go a long way when you do start searching for a partner.

Re: The only one who can fix that problem... by Voyd on 2015-02-28 19:53:00 UTC Reply

I don't really know how to do social.

I'm 21, but I don't know how to drive, I live with my family and I just left my job. I'm really not sure what to do now, since my computer is broken and my parents are super-busy taking care of my younger siblings.

I rarely leave my room, let alone the house. I do go out and play Pathfinder every other week, though, which I greatly enjoy. I'd love to play more often, but I really only have two friends my age, and neither has a driver's license.

I don't exactly know how to make friends online. I've been part of several online communities, and I have yet to find someone I truly consider a friend.

I know I'm a loser, but I currently lack the means to not be a loser. I don't have money, or transport, or neurotypicality. Yep, I have Asperger's and it has been the bane of my existence for my whole life.

But anyway... I apologize for hijacking the thread. You probably didn't come here to listen to me moan and groan about myself, and I didn't need to say anything. You may now resume your regularly scheduled silly forum games.

If you do want to talk to me, I'm always checking my e-mail. It's DBooker67 at that service from Google.

Being social is hard, and it's rather hard to get a hang of it. Believe me, I know. I'm autistic as well.

But wallowing in the thread and bringing all this up? Doesn't help anyone, not the other Boarders or yourself! This is supposed to be a silly fun shipfest, no need to bring reality into the mix! No one is asking you to leave, just... have fun.

"and that your pizza is inferior to America's."

*twitches*

Such an offence can only be washed away with blood. That... thing you eat in America can't possibly be called a pizza!

(Hint: Pizza Hut is a worldwide chain, but they never tried opening here in Italy... guess why? Because American pizza is garbage to us.)

Sorry, but it's the second time in a few days I felt hit in my pride of a True Italian...

The other one? Something that started with the recent "...ry X. Landf of Quattro" commercial by Audi. Here in Italy Fiat made a tongue-in-cheek parody for the Panda commercial (Italy. Land of Panda)... and not only Audi cited them for unfair advertisement, the judge even forced Fiat to pull out the commercial, when Audi's the one offensive to Italian motorsport history!

Italy is Land of INTEGRALE! Lancia Delta Integrale! We could kick the ass of their Quattro with the outdated, two-wheel-drive Lancia 037, too!

Whoa whoa whoa. by VixenMage on 2015-03-01 20:57:00 UTC Reply

Yes, pizza is a dish that takes much of its influence from Italy, but the dish itself is an American one! It was a modification by Italian-American immigrants in the Northeast (depending on your bias, New York, New Haven, or, from one person I know, Providence) from pita in the 1930s – and, just FYI, the tomato is native to Central America, and wasn't even present in Europe until well into the Columbian exchange, because Europeans thought it was poisonous. So any dish based on tomatoes (or corn, or potatoes, or turkeys...) can sorta be said to be necessarily partly American in origin.

Invented in America in the '30s? Yeah, sure. by Sergio Turbo on 2015-03-02 18:41:00 UTC Reply

Then why here in Italy it happened to exist already in the XIX century? I'm pretty sure the Doctor isn't involved.

... Is he?

Something LIKE it existed... by VixenMage on 2015-03-02 21:34:00 UTC Reply

But the thing WE call pizza: a very specific kind of dough, with a specific style of marinara spread over it (you can't just use gravy, it's the wrong consistency), topped with sausage, or onion, or clams, or eggplant, or garlic, or thinly-sliced tomatoes and basil, or any of the above, then covered in mozzarella and baked until done... most certainly did not.

Or at least, it was modified so heavily by the Italian-American community in New Haven that "pizza" as we mean it here is a distinct food from its distant ancestor.

But back to your original gripe - Pizza Hut bears as much resemblance to pizza, as I knew it growing up, as a can of Dole's pineapple does to the original pineapple fruits. ~~And Chicago doesn't count.~~ That much, at least, we can agree on.

Still doesn't mean that America invented pizza. by Sergio Turbo on 2015-03-03 20:16:00 UTC Reply

It's like, y'now, coming up with a new type of pencil, calling it simply "pencil" and claiming you invented pencil as a whole.

You invented a new type of pencil, which is all fine and dandy, but you didn't invent "the" pencil.

For the recond, Italian pizza was already called "pizza" in the '800. Your argument is therefore invalid.

A pizzoral history. by Huinesoron on 2015-03-04 11:46:00 UTC Reply

I've just looked up 'pizza' in the Oxford English Dictionary.

They claim that the word derives from post-classical Latin dating back to at least AD 997, and may have come in from 'an unattested Langobardic cognate of Old High German bizzo bite, piece bitten off, morsel, lump, cake made of flour'. (Which means that Germany was calling some form of food something close to 'pizza' before Italy was... but I digress.)

The first attested use in the English literature is actually an English-Italian dictionary from 1598 - that's over 150 years before the USA was founded - where it was listed as 'a kind of cake or simnell or wafer'. In 1825 Baroness Bunsen was fed it (along with 'ham, and cheese, and frittata'), and in 1845, Francis Coghlan's Handbook for Italy described it as 'a popular cake made of preserves or of new cheese'.

But the best reference dates to 1878, and a book called Dolce Napoli:

'Anoint [dough] profusely with oil of olive, and dab in pieces of garlic, anchovy, strong cheese, rancid bacon, and whatsoever else may be highest in flavour and lowest in price; put into a hot oven, bake, and thou hast pizza.'

Re: A pizzoral history. by firemagic on 2015-03-04 13:43:00 UTC Reply

There's seriously a line 'thou hast pizza'? That seems like a line out of a show or cookbook faking Early Modern English*, but OK.

*on a tangent, how many other people get really annoyed when tv shows and movies call Shakespearean langue 'Old English'? First off the top of my head would be the Tintin movie, which cited a perfectly understandable poem as Old English. No, writers, Old English is the original Beowulf, and Middle English is the original Canterbury tales.

An American flavor? by Phobos on 2015-02-27 22:48:00 UTC Reply

You would be hard pressed to find a pizza joint in the US that has fries and hotdogs to put on their pizzas. Not that I am against the idea, mind you. I make a mean cheeseburger pizza, myself.

Picture, if you will, a pizza crust with mustard and ketchup on it. Then you add sauteed onions and ground beef. Top that with cheddar cheese, then crisp bacon. Finish with dill pickle slices and put it in the oven. It is a thing of beauty.

That sounds interesting. by World-Jumper on 2015-02-27 23:01:00 UTC Reply

I, myself, am a fan of the Avalanche pizza sold at Moose's Tooth. It has Pepperoni, blackened chicken, bacon bits, red onions, parsley, cheddar, mozzarella, provolone, and a very sweat and tangy barbecue sauce to round it all off. One of the best pizzas I have ever had. Anybody come over to Anchorage, I'll buy you a slice or two.

Good or not, you just can't call it pizza, sorry. (nm) by domirossi on 2015-02-27 20:43:00 UTC Reply

That would be true... by Scapegrace on 2015-02-27 19:18:00 UTC Reply

If, indeed, it was pizza.

As opposed to some American alleged-cheese dumped on top of lukewarm tomato paste.

Protip: if even British people are calling your food bad, it might be an idea to crack open the ol' Beeton and try something else.

You're right. That does sound terrible. by Phobos on 2015-02-27 20:14:00 UTC Reply

It also sounds like something we would laugh out of town. (Not to mention it sounds like a vicious lie concocted by a bitter New Yorker. I'm looking at you, Jon Stewart!)

Our pizza is composed of layers of flaky crust, meat, vegetables, mozzarella cheese, and a hearty tomato sauce filled with herbs and spices. It also bakes for almost an hour, so if you get lukewarm sauce on top, they're doing it wrong.

What you are describing: by Scapegrace on 2015-03-02 01:00:00 UTC Reply

Not pizza.

It's a cake you get for someone or something you don't like, like the leaving party for that rancid cockbite from HR that keeps nicking your sandwiches out the fridge.

Also, you sound like a dog food advert. Which I suppose is exactly what you're being rn. =]

Good lord. by Neshomeh on 2015-02-27 20:04:00 UTC Reply

I dunno where you get your pizza, but if they put American cheese on it, they're doing it wrong. No pizza joint worth their salt, international chain or otherwise, would ever put American cheese on a pizza. That's just wrong. O.o

(Er, you were referring specifically to American cheese and not just any cheese produced in America, right? Cuz lemme tell you, the yellow squares are certainly crap, but if you're insulting all our cheese, the entire state of Wisconsin is gonna have a bone to pick with you.)

Thems fightin' words. by World-Jumper on 2015-02-27 19:42:00 UTC Reply

Where did you get your pizza? I'll bet you anything it's Pizza Hut. Listen, do you go to McDonalds for quality burgers? KFC for quality fried chicken? Dairy Queen for quality anything? No. So if it was an international chain you bought your pizza at, you have a problem.

I am so tempted to find some good pizza joint that will send their pizzas abroad and teach you all why America has mastered putting cheese and tomato sauce on bread. But by that time, it would not be hot and fresh out of the oven, and ruin the point. So, instead, you fly over here, go to New York, and get one of America's best pizzas.

I'm curious now. by Huinesoron on 2015-02-27 16:19:00 UTC Reply

What's the difference between proper Italian pizza and the export version? Wikipedia's mostly waffling about specific types of tomato and cheese, which is a non-starter (since that's a quality issue at most). I'm getting a vague impression it's partly about the 'bread' used for the base - the top image on Wiki certainly looks more like a flatbread with toppings than an export-style 'pizza base', and there's a quite mouthwatering description of Sicilian-style pizza as 'essentially focaccia with toppings' - but I'm guessing there's more to it than that?

(Fun fact: the first time I ran across the Italian disdain for American 'pizza' was in Rick Riordan's The Mark of Athena)

O'course, it's a good general assumption that any 'regional' food will be horribly mutilated in other countries. Heaven knows England's most popular dish - Chicken Tikka Masala - bears no resemblance to actual Indian curries (which, having once had one made by a genuine Indian person, are very nice)... for that matter, even Yorkshire Puddings are completely different to actual Yorkshire Puddings unless you make them yourself.

Yeah, that's the key. Shop-bought food is different to homemade. Even something as simple as chips (er, fries, I guess). What a world, etc.

hS

Quite a few things. by World-Jumper on 2015-02-27 19:30:00 UTC Reply

Italians use less sauce then we do, and thinner too. We also have a larger variety of flavors our sauce can be, ranging on the sweet and savory scale, while Italian is usually on the sweeter scale, wherever you would place a fresh tomato on the scale.

America loves toppings. We put darn near anything and everything on our pizzas. Pineapple, ham, sausage, peperoni, bell peppers, hot peppers, steak tips, you name it. If it can be eaten, odds are somebody in America has placed it on a pizza. Italians? Not as such. They do not put near the variety, not amount of meat that we Americans do. What can I say? Bigger is better.

Speaking of bigger is better, the crust. You want to start a fight in America? Tell somebody from Chicago that thin crust is superior, or tell somebody from New York that Chicago style is the best. There will be blood on the streets. Suffice to say, we have a wide opinion over how thick the crust should be. We can almost universally agree though, thicker than Italy's. Theirs is not paper-thin, but in comparison, they are eating communion wafers with cheese.

Aside from that, there are some subtle differences, but if I went further then that, we would be going into the differences between regions of pizza in America. So, suffice to say, there is a bit of difference.

Also, halibut pizza? Rather tasty.

Also, from personal experience... by domirossi on 2015-02-27 20:49:00 UTC Reply

At least some Italians go all "BURN THE HERETIC" when you even suggest the idea of putting cream instead of tomato sauce.

Cream? What is this, some sorta French dish? by World-Jumper on 2015-02-27 22:55:00 UTC Reply

Get outta here! That's no pizza! That's some kinda corruption of good wholesome food beloved by all peoples! Cream. Does this look like some kinda cheesy bread to slather funky butter onto? No! This is pizza! Tomato or GTFO!

I'm kidding of course. I do know what your are talking about, I've had it, I did enjoy it. It's just... Not pizza, man. Tasty, and would gladly have more, but not pizza.

Well, it's one ingredient away from pizza. by domirossi on 2015-02-27 22:57:00 UTC Reply

Alternatively, SkarmorySilver/Iximaz: Because they wrote almost every mission in the last few months.
World-Jumper/Voyd: I swear that one made sense when I thought it out... Uh... They both have a human/nonhuman agent pair? Yeah, let's go with that.
SeaTurtle/Desdendelle: It also made sense when I came up with it... In that case, it's even more embarrassing since that was only a few seconds ago. Maybe it's because of the RP? Yeah, let's go with that (bis).
Iximax/DesDenDelle: Miniship! Well, maybe, if capitalisation minis count.

I'm also kinda-OK-I-guess™ with being shipped. Have fun.

It is also worth mentioning... by Scapegrace on 2015-02-26 18:06:00 UTC Reply

That Pasquale Paoli (called by the New Yorker "the greatest man who ever lived") fought a bloody and protracted guerrilla war against French rule and frequently opined that the Corsican people were Italianate. =]

... Though not Genoese. So, he fought for independence. by domirossi on 2015-02-26 18:24:00 UTC Reply

We technically had de-facto independence for 14 years, but then, Genoa sold Corsica to France to pay off some debts, and they invaded. (Well, they had tried calling the Holy Roman Empire for help before that, but then the battle of Calenzana happened, and...)

Ship fics are fun! I have no requirements. However, I do have a "challenge" of sorts. Feel free to ignore it for humor.

You all know how much I love ponies. Perhaps to an absurd degree. For my challenge, you cannot use mlp at all in the shipping. However, again, if you found a way for it to be funny, please, use pony humor. Just... Consider it bonus points if you manage to ship me properly without using my love for little ponies.

Now, do I want to ship anybody... Hmm...

ScarmorySilver/Storme Hawk - Because love is for the birds!

Huinesoron/Kaitlyn - Because I need to make up for what the Knight Jumper said in Plort.

Scapegrace/shark - Because now I can't get the idea of a Tsundere Shark shipping out of my head.

...I usually prefer to be paired with Boarders whom I've gotten to know on a personal level, typically by co-writing with them. This would kinda preclude me/Storme, and I get the sense that the two of us are constantly being shipped just because both of our usernames include a bird of some sort.

THAT SAID, assuming Storme has permission (and given that he does have agents listed in his user page on the Wiki, I'm guessing he does), I'd be happy to collab with him once I come out of all of my school and job-searching stuff. Especially since my upcoming DIC team will be taking on a lot of video-game continua. Apparently, we're not just birds, but gamers as well!

Yeah, I'd be happy to co-write a mission at some point, although saying that I've still got 3 solo missions in various stages of completeness (which is to say, not very complete) and a co-write with Herr Wozzeck to finish up, so it'll be interesting to see what gets finished first.

I won't mind being shipped... (however unlikely that is) by Edhelistar on 2015-02-25 16:45:00 UTC Reply

... as long is not in a slash pairing.

Regarding shipping others, well I'm kind of boring with that. Ships-canon-pairings level of boring. I have only shipped one non-canon pairing in all history of fandom and I'm still on that ship despite it being deader than Disco.

Therefore my shippings are:

Huinesoron/Kaitlyn
Neshomeh/Phobos
Both for the reasons listed above.

Pff, "likely." by Neshomeh on 2015-02-25 16:53:00 UTC Reply

Just for that:

Edhelistar/Huinesoron, because Elvish usernames. Throw in Elcalion if he's around, too.

(I have no idea what gender you are, but I assumed female. Sorry if I was wrong.)

~Neshomeh, completely open to being shipped herself.

August 2011 is when we got married, so look out for us in the summer of 2016. That is, assuming I get a new job pretty soon and we can actually save up for it.

We didn't really have time to Gather during our honeymoon, since most of it was spent on a cruise ship. We were only in London for a couple nights before we had to run off to catch the boat, and IIRC, nobody could make it in the narrow windows we had in various ports. Y'all are forgiven. {= )

To embarrass myself in turn, when did you and Kaitlyn get married? It was before us, but I don't know how long before. (Certainly not 2000, though! You'd have been like 14 or something; I know I was.)

You're totally in on this bunk-bed orgy. Iximaz did say you two are canon, right? That means we're even sticking to a theme!

Of course, the bunk-bed means I have to ask everyone this question in the most deliberately-ambiguous way possible:

Top or bottom?

The bottom bunk. For spiffy cave/secret fort purposes. And, sure, top has a nice view, but it's so much work going up and down! *eg*

I don't think you meant 'that' to refer back to a hypothetical orgy, did you? XD Only your exp**tive kind of supports the idea that you did...

Sorry, sorry. Ahem. This is me looking composed. Gatherings are fairly ad-hoc, and often come about when someone's travelling close to someone else. So you could probably negotiate with the other Americans to throw a Chicago Gathering any time; ditto would go for a UK one (we threw one for I think Araeph on about two weeks' notice).

Canterbury, huh? Is that a confirmed thing, or just an option you could theoretically take? I've not actually heard, uh... anything about the University of Canterbury at any point... which Google confirms is because there isn't one. ^_^ Canterbury Christ Church or Kent?

Kent. by Iximaz on 2015-02-26 11:40:00 UTC Reply

If everything works out, then I'll be going to Kent in 2018. Right now it's theoretical, but my parents have been saving money and apparently not many students from my school do the program (programme? :P ) I want to do, so I think I have a good shot of getting in. Studying English in England? Who ever would think of such a crazy thing!

I might end up in London sometime in 2016/17 because the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where I might or might not study law, has an International Law exchange programme that sends its students to study in London.

I've never had any love life to speak of (I did have an IRL date last year, but it didn't work out), so I'm not sure if shipping me with another Boarder would be worth anyone's time to be honest. If I had to reccommend any partners for me, though, I'd go with eatpraylove and Iximaz, both of which I got to know via collabs. A close second pick, as a few of you have guessed, is Herr-Wozzeck, whose writing was one of the reasons for my joining the PPC in the first place; if he ever comes back I would like to co-write with him as well.

Probably not Storme Hawk, though. Don't know him on a personal level despite us being birds and all. And I honestly have no idea why hS would be referred to as a bird, either.

Between other Boarders, I'd probably go with Neshomeh/Tungsten Monk and Caddy/Miah, both of which have again co-written some really good stuff.

Full disclosure: I've been on exactly one date. The girl then went to medical school and was obscenely busy for a year. When I got back to her months later, she had a boyfriend. I now suspect that she may have been messing with me for a while. Thus my self-doubt regarding romance.

It's a compound which would literally mean 'thoughtless', which is quite close to 'fool'. You could also have 'pengolu', 'wisdomless'.

Neither of them are quite as pithy as the Japanese, sadly. How about 'ungely', 'without any lore'? Of course, that's pronounced 'OON-gelly', rather than with the English 'un' sound, but it does look like...

You haven't been shipped enough. by Iximaz on 2015-02-25 19:43:00 UTC Reply

I now declare you shipped with every single Boarder. All at once. >D

Wait... by TheShyIon on 2015-02-25 19:46:00 UTC Reply

Wouldn't that mean that you're just shipping the entire Board together, then?

Huh, I guess so. Oh, well! ^-^ (nm) by Iximaz on 2015-02-25 19:55:00 UTC Reply

Does spacing spawn a Mini-Boarder? by TheShyIon on 2015-02-25 19:33:00 UTC Reply

If so... hello, The ShyIon!

Um... possibly. ^_^ Sorry. by Huinesoron on 2015-02-26 10:42:00 UTC Reply

TheShyIon/an actual shy ion. Probably something like manganese VII; it's got a lovely pink blush to it.

I support this ship. :D by TheShyIon on 2015-02-27 16:58:00 UTC Reply

As long as it is a giant shy ion; I would not want to lose it. And not dangerously radioactive. For obvious reasons. :D

"You're like uranium 235 and I'm uranium 238/ Almost inseparable isotopes."

Drat, I've got it stuck in my head.
