The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

(Okay, maybe that's a bit out of the question by now, but I can hope.)

Again, the rules doc and bracket can be found here.

Right now the only two fights left are Scapegrace vs. [EvilAI], and the winner of that match vs. Novastorme.

Probably safe for work.

Reminds me of the Battle of Helm's Deep, a little.

I read the Futhark on the cd cover once. Part of it is "Bring me my broadsword, bring me my cross."

Yes, really.

Seriously, it's pretty fun to do, and it helps science- so like, what are you waiting for? Classify those penguins!

To be completely honest, I'd totally forgotten I'd even included a Halloween mini at all. So my line of thinking was, "I've never written that mini before so I can't have created it."

I dunno, maybe I did make it and I just don't remember. *shrugs helplessly*

I don't know as much about Lovecraft as I should.

Alright. (I put stuff on talk pages and the Board whenever it could be added to an article.) Now that we've gotten that cleared up...

I had an idea for a Lovecraftian/horror RP involving either an alternate universe of the PPC (e.g. EPC) or an alternate universe of the Boarders themselves (e.g. Plort.) Players can be either one of the paranormal investigators or someone on the side of the monsters (monsters, cultists, etc - since it's Lovecraft styled, the creatures are all essentially gods, and would probably be an analog for Mary Sues and other weird Internet stuff.) Or they can switch sides if they get reformed or possessed. Does that sound like fun?

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

...whichinvolved Granz throwing fridges at people... and 1visible somehow ending up in hell... while magically sealed in a portable restroom...

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.
