The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

I'm pretty sure that means you must be On The Run, or In Hiding, or something!

I wasn't thinking of things in specific, just the general fact that likes of myself, Nesh, Delta and so on have wound up in sticky situations more than once.

While I've got the thought in my head, I believe our currently active PGs are, in order of appointment:

Huinesoron
Delta Juliette
Neshomeh
Phobos
Iximaz
PoorCynic
[Kaitlyn]
Zingenmir

It looks like VixenMage last posted a year ago yesterday, which in Plort terms means her barony is no longer counted as maintained, and will be folded into yours and Delta's. So I get to play around with maps! :D

...for the sole reason that I have no personal experience with Larfen as a beta, which is a rather important component. I can say however that he writes well himself, is generally fun to talk to (including about written works), and is an active PPCer. If he's also a good beta, which at least one person down the thread has explicitly stated him to be, I'd say he's a good choice.

Without question or hesitation. He's good, he's thoughtful, he knows his stuff, and he makes an effort to be present in the community. I definitely think he'd be able to accurately judge a Permission request, and we already know he can communicate his thoughts on writing very well.

...honestly, until I reread your post, I'd forgotten it was *Permission* he'd been given by the PGs and thought he might already be one himself.

At any rate, I say yes. Give him a Hat. I'm sure he'll take good care of it.

PS: ...wait, hold on. I've been embroiled in a scandal or drama...? Unless the "Brink" interlude counts, I must have repressed the memory of that or something. I mainly remember being on the *edges* of drama, not actually *embroiled* in it. Or is "Brink" what you were thinking of? I do remember it somehow spawned a thread full of arguing, which was very unpleasant but did get resolved. I suppose that could count...

It wasn't a legendary already? Huh... Okay, yeah, fifthed!

He's one of our more persistant reviewers, and his work on the Uncanonical Department of Inaccuracies shows that his knowledge goes beyond simple technical errors and into understanding the PPC as a whole. He's a friendly and trustworthy part of the community (unlike all our existing Permission Givers, he's never been embroiled in a scandal or drama!), and to the best of my knowledge, is the only person in the PPC's long history to be given Permission unasked-for, by common acclamation from the PGs.

God, I read the first few paragraphs once. It was...not fun to say the least.


For those of you who don't know, this is a Sailor Moon fic involving a lot of NSFW and disturbing content. If you want to google it, be my guest, but I won't be held responsible for the brain damage. I can post a rot13'd summary if needed, but I would prefer that sort of thing to remain off the board, even rot13'd.

I’m not sure but I think I read this MST ages ago... and if it was bad enough to make Mike and the ‘Bots quit... then this is the kind of story that needs to be killed. Preferably with fire.

(What is WRONG with some writers!?!?)

I saw the title and instantly remembered the fic, despite having had had no contact with the fandom in well over a decade. While I only got 4 recent results out of 20 when searching, it's a 20 year old fic, and that fact that people are still remembering it speaks volumes about how awful it is.

I know nothing of this 'fic, but Mike Nelson and several robots were, though in Mike's case only for the later seasons, the main characters of Mystery Science Theater 3000, a TV show which mocked bad movies. They also appear in many MSTs of bad fiction, such as Adam Cadre's "Eye Of Argon" MST:

(In the drink or whatever.)

I'm assuming this would result in just having to weaken them some other way or outright assassinate them, but if there's any other effects on a the success on a mission that that could pose, call them out.

I'm sure it's bad, but I'm totally lost as to what this fic is, what canon it's referring to, and how infamous it is. I imagine "Mike and the 'Bots" refers to a relatively well-known MST-er. Can you give some more information to orient me?

Assuming he's up for it, I reckon he'd make a pretty good mod, I'll vote for that.
