The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

Not "bump" as in bumping something to the top. "Bump" as in bumping something off the bottom, which the Board is confirmed to do.

Yeah, it got weird pretty quickly...

Is pitch the RP idea on the Board first to see if there's sufficient interest to go forward. RPs generally take place on T-Board or Discord these days depending on whether you prefer semi/not-real-time or real time.

I suspect the reason this is not stated anywhere is that people tend to pick it up through observation. I guess we haven't had anyone start an RP for a while, though.

Adding questions to existing question threads is good, BTW. Plus, more people are likely to see your questions on the Board than they are on scattered wiki Talk pages.

Hi there!

If you go to the Mini page, you may notice a section headed "Non-Continuum Minis." I would suggest that as the best place to put a mini that is not based in a particular continuum. {= )

You should also try to track down the story it does come from, if you can. Some creative Google-fu may yield results. If not, I'd just credit Iximaz' mission with a note that it is not the original appearance, and that the page should be edited to link to that instead if/when it is found. See other entries with notes on the page for the correct format.

The PPC Posting Board does not feature any sort of bump system.

Apparently I have actually read all of these over the last five to six years. But if I ever find the time to reread, I can now do it in chronological order. Whooo!

I don't remember what year it was, but I remember playing snake and trying to read a LotR paperback in my car because we weren't supposed to work when it was raining. (The team of us were to photograph every house in the county.)

Was it right after I chose to leave Discord, following the harassment incident?

Or was it in the last week, when I couldn't access Discord anyway?

This is like my yelling at the walls and getting answers back from the nightmare PPC.

Wear it well and with pride and--well, carefully, since it's pretty pointy what with all the 'A's in the design...

When I mentioned lending an ear even when one's own opinion is different, I meant it more as just trying to be there for the other person even if you don't feel as strongly about the issue (or think neither person is especially at fault even though one or both are now upset), rather than as worrying about huge consequences for having and voicing a different opinion. And that form of commiseration often includes mentioning your own opinion as an option for what might be going on, even as you lend an ear. So, thankfully, I can say that you saw an unintentional implication in my words.

The National Quiz Bowl competition is this weekend in New Orleans. I dropped my oldest off this morning for the trip. Go Cyclones! Plus, New Orleans!

I am unaware that I was banned from Discord. I asked to be removed, (I don't remember any conditions being attached to when I could come back.) and then figured out how to remove myself before any official action.

This is what I and probably several others are worried about. You aren't dispelling a bogeyman. You're causing another incident and proving the people worried about your behavior right. Could things have been handled better? Probably. But making the same mistakes again and again after they have been patiently and impatiently explained to you is not the fault of the community. That every other thread involving you in recent weeks has gotten bad enojugh that punishments had to be considered is not the fault of the community.

You feel you should defend yourself. But you've been on the attack for most of this thread. You seem to want the community to validate Zdimensia's actions and say that what happened before was wrong. This is simply not the case.

Your question on why your first permission request was denied is answered in that thread, in the post denying it. HS has posted it further down the chat, but the summary was that your request was incomplete and you weren't prepared. When it was denied, you made changes in the same thread instead of taking time to revise and reconsider.

You are showing disrespect by saying that the reason why someone, in this case Skarmory, is distrusting you is because of issues in their past, (Apologies to Skarmory if this comes out as rude) rather than because of your behavior. To make this matter clear, I have issues trusting you because of how you have behaved.

Why am I not surprised that you seem to struggle with this concept?

Read the drama down-thread and learn from it.

The drama is not normal.

Most boarders seem to avoid conflict.

Do not be too excited. Do not ask too many questions.

((I, for one, miss when the board had discussions on what was canonical and what wasn't.))

I left the channel because I harassed someone. I cannot privately poke you without an invite to the PPC channel. I tried, and the software rejected me.

I feel that I should defend myself. I feel like I should dispel the zdimensia bogyman. I have accomplished that the mistakes have been acknowledged. I feel that this is not closed yet.

I acknowledge that my presence made your introduction to the PPC rocky. I acknowledge that I remind you of past mistakes.

I do not want the PPC as a sounding board for anything other than writing problems. Though it was because of them that I discovered that there might still be something wrong with me.

I apologize for all the beta problems. I especially apologize to Skarmory for jumping-the-gun, and I have learned from that at least.

You are under no obligation to help me, even after the Duckletts are in a row. I'll look for a support group or something. I mean that with no malice, and you are welcome to choose to contact me.

For the fear of potential backlash: You are saying it clearly and should not be chastised.

I am still very confused at what went wrong in my initial permission attempt.

Maybe I didn't ask people to make themselves clearer in the proper way. Maybe there was a preconception that I should be angry when I knew that I wasn't going to make it on my first attempt.

I am also confused about a lot of what you are accusing me of. I might have missed responding to concrit. Or did I do it wrong? In my mind, it's "I agree with you. I'll work more on that thing that you pointed out." There has been very little "I'll leave it as-is because of reasons" on the board.

I do remember asking why they took a void and assumed malice, in reference to one of my characters. I still don't understand.

I think that it was your subconscious making you distrust me. Either you recognized me, or you recognized yourself.

I am still unaware of when I was disrespectful and what I should apologize for.

As far as harassing them, I was unaware of that social construct, and thought that they were being rude. What I was after was information on what I should apologize to them for. I have learned from that. I think that the board also learned from that.

I have a RWBY fic on AO3 that's been lagging for a while, but I finally got back into the swing of writing it!

Also, I have never responded to one of these before, so I don't know how they work, exactly.

When I was like five years old snake was the COOLEST thing to me. Also, so were cellphones, because I was five and they had all of these BUTTONS.

Does anyone remember that conversation about a misspelling of "Bristol" "Bristle" in a Harry Potter fic?

There was an argument of whether it should be a paintbrush, somehow connecting it to the real world.

Or there was an argument that it should be a mini-arogog, like in the Harry Potter series.

I think that the answer was either never found, or the answer was "whatever is funny."
