I meant to mention it sooner, but stuff happened and now I'm tired.

I bequeath unto you a Campbell pattern heavy laspistol. It looks a bit like a camera due to convergent evolution: both are created to direct light.

Someone else who knows Mass Effect! *High fives*

So it's all in one place, this is the plan:

- Iximaz stays entirely out of the PPC Discord.

- Nobody reports on what goes on in the PPC Discord to Iximaz.

- Nobody discusses Iximaz at all in the PPC Discord.

- If Iximaz decides they are comfortable returning to the PPC Discord at some point, they should state their intention clearly, on the Board, so that everyone may be aware that the situation has changed and why.

If you're a Discordian reading this, please help make sure everyone who needs to know it does, and that everyone sticks to it.

Thank you!

(Look... you try coming up with a capitalist-versus-communist question that isn't just 'Communism is good yes/no'!)

Obviously these will just get you 10/30/50/70/90% scores on each axis, but if you want to add your own qualifiers ('neutral, but tending slightly towards agree', or 'disagree so strongly I am offended you would even ask'), I can use those to tweak the scores a little.

And for bonus points, would you call yourself any of these: an Anarchist, strongly religious, Radical Feminist, politically pragmatic, vegan, a conspiracy theorist, or a monarchist?

Hi-ho, questions-- away!

I'm pretty sure Bastion's a disguised dwarf.

(Backstory: Alleb at one point translated the names of the entire Overwatch roster into Tolkienian Quenya. I then couldn't shake the question of who would have those names, and ended up drawing out the first ten. As luck would have it, both Ohtar Otso Enquë and Métimanta made it into that set.)

(Hmm... I should probably finish those at some point.)

(Anyway, random reference to thing from a year ago: go!)

Hey there! Welcome to the board. For your newbie gift, here's a replica of Crescent Rose.

Common sense has sufficed so far, but then it always does until it doesn't.

So, for starters, remember it's supposed to be silly fun, not a competition to see who can say the most hurtful things. Don't take it seriously, and don't mean it seriously. If you're not sure something is okay, don't do it. If you find yourself veering from comedy insults against fictional personas into actual insults against real people, then you need to stop.

And, of course, if someone tells you you've gone too far—maybe you came up against a personal issue, maybe you actually crossed a line—then stop, apologize, and don't do it again. Making a mistake doesn't have to be the end of the world.

A bit late, of course, but to be perfectly frank I'm not sure I've ever wished someone a happy birthday on the Board without being at least a little late.

Anyway, have a commissar cap and laspistol engraved with your personal heraldry.

Oh, and some birthday pizza. Family tradition, you see. Topping selection operates via voice command, courtesy of magic.

...can I ask your opinions on my other ideas?

hS as S76 or Bastion?
Nesh as Mercy or Mei?
Ix as Widowmaker?
Myself and an online friend (once recruited, I'm still in the process of doing so) as Junkrat and Roadhog. I think it fits, considering I'm the more "chaotic" one of the two of us and tend to get way too carried away with having fun a lot.
And then you. Le Genji.

Nah, sounds fine to me. I was just curious.

Please set your name on Discord the same as it is here. Otherwise, things get confusing.

I certainly read a lot of fiction. I'm pretty into Star Wars, RWBY, Mass Effect, Firefly, Order of the Stick, and a few more.

The majority of drama happens there, it seems. Anyway.

Why not tell more about yourself over here, for those who aren't Discord people?

-Twistey

I don't know, I guess I just got a weird idea of Genji from a couple "Overwatch Voice RP" videos I saw on the Internet. I feel like crap (OF course) for not thinking this through properly, so if you have any other ideas, I'll consider them.

(Also on "How to Be More Thoth", you mentioned "Why do work when you can... not?" Genji was a slacker in his backstory before he got cybernetics and training from Zenyatta and whatnot.)

-Twistey

In terms of the harassment and trolling stuff, what would go too far in a Badfic Games fic and in the interactions between our badficcer alter egos? I'd like to know so I can avoid it next time.

-Twistey

And if you want to make it clear it's me, you can hide a 40k symbol on it somewhere. Like a Mark of Tzeentch. Or something.

Well, I already poked my head into the discord. Easier talking over there.
