Shiro

*looks at his deck of cards* ...I actually have no idea how I managed to play Solitaire with a deck of Magic: The Gathering cards. Or why I even bothered. Kaitlyn was pretty nice to hang out with, though.

Saki

Kaitlyn is very fun! Oh, you want to know about that thing with Ajax? Don't worry, even if he wanted to kill one of us it wouldn't have been me! I'm too adorable to kill!

Ami

To whoever thought it was a fun idea to alter the coding of my simulation to make me act like a zombie: I'm going to haunt you. Trust me, I'm a ghost. I can, and I will.

The camera observes Levy subconsciously invoking an "Out, Damned Spot!" moment in a cave with a stream water moving through. Matthew enters the room, exhaling slightly. He runs over to her, trying to get her attention through the tears, Levy ignoring him. He finally gets her attention by forcing her to face him.

Matthew: Levy, snap out of it!

Levy goes in to hug Matthew, wailing into his shoulder. He shoos the cameras away.

Cameras cut to Ajax, silently trying to become one with the couch. Ellie is also seen, in a valiant attempt to cheer him up via several small explosions. Someone takes the camera and points it at himself

Toby: Hiya, Toby Williams, DoSAT. Ajax isn't quite feeling up to the whole interview thing, so if you could just go back to wherever you came from you floating Ball with a camera attached, that would be great.

Caprice: *opens a hatch and pokes her head out from inside the steampunk dragon* Is she gone? Did I lose her? ... Okay. Whew. I should've known better than to ask Luxury for anything involving the words "eat" or "magic wand."

... So I'm the last survivor of my district. Shoot. If I'd known Barid was around last night, he could've shared my hiding place. I may not be able to work this thing, but the control cabin is at least a safe, insulated place to crash.

Caprice apparently really likes the SciFi Sector. She's spending a lot of time there.

Morgan: I... spent some time talking to Grey's partner last night. She's... I think I need to make time to talk to the Notary once I'm out of here.

... no, the repeated use of 'time' doesn't mean I'm planning any TARDIS shenanigans. Who do you think I am, the Doctor?

Kaitlyn: So I've been chatting with those kids from totes-not-the-future, Shiro and Saki. They're pretty fun actually! And neither of them tried to kill me, which is a big plus.

Kyaris: I... am lost. And I think I broke something. And, basically, this is not a good day.

You know where it is. You can search the page for 'Day 4' to find the right spot quicker.

In which two of our dear PPC agents prove themselves to be scarily manipulative sociopaths.

Also: the death which led to Dafydd talking about nanites is actually mis-coded (sorry!). So the website reported the sentence I gave, but thinks the survivor is dead and vice versa. I've stuck with the sentence over the coding error, but if you see the dead agent's name crop up again, let me know and I'll excise it.

26 left. We're not even halfway there...

hS

Do you accept? And when do you want to battle?

So I could probably do around 2am Boardtime/7am my time tomorrow.

hS

Could possibly do a little earlier tomorrow morning?

Newbies usually mess up at least a little. This wasn't so bad -- nothing but a misunderstanding. A little embarrassing, maybe, but no one got hurt, and if you're still around a year from now we'll look back on it during your Boardversary party and laugh.

And yes, we do all know it's an April Fools thread. But when I saw Twistey's misunderstanding, I realized that, well, we (hopefully) get a lot of people coming through who aren't yet super familiar with how we work. I thought having that post might help to avoid scaring off newbies an potential newbies, or at least giving them the wrong idea about us as a community. It wasn't the best thought-out post and I think sarcasm is probably an appropriate response to it :P

I should be available most evenings my time... though you'd be asleep then...

Uh, you up for a battle now before I go to bed? ^^;

I wasn't too clear on what the proposal was the first time I read through, but now it does seem like it would either be similar to an OFU or a cowrite, and either way wouldn't require Permission.

So yes. Total agreement here.

--Key

That is a good way of thinking about the situation. And probably the right way. :P

Caprice: The Ironic Overpower is messing with me. I resigned myself to the fact that I wasn't gonna get to ride Voltarmi and was cool with that day I spent with Suta and those other guys... but then I found this. *she gestures at a beautifully crafted metal steampunk dragon on the ground beside her, gleaming with golden scrollwork and arabesques* A freaking robot dragon! But I can't make it work! Where's Makes-Things or Dann or anyone from DoSAT when you need them? This is so frustrating. *she kicks the dragon; it goes clang* ... Ow. Okay, go bother someone else now.

----

Caprice, you can't have a dragon. I already have two dragon-riders. I don't intend to make you a third. Stop this obsession right now. {X D

Incidentally, I'm imagining the mechanical dragon in the style of Magic: The Gathering's Kaladesh plane. Check this stuff out. I know MTG is fantasy, but I don't see why the aesthetic couldn't appear in a sci-fi setting. {= )

Michael

Of course that is what I did. I was rather tired yesterday, and I required some rest. ... No, I do not know how they found their way in. However, I must thank Evangeline for killing me before Suta ate me. I have no wish to experience digestion. Now, if you'll pardon my abruptness, I should go find my partner. He is likely still disappointed by the results, and I had best console him.

But, uh... I have a really erratic work schedule, so we might have to wait until next Sunday?

Results here.

In retrospect I probably should have asked this a long time ago, hahaha...

Do we have to use Pokemon Showdown? I have my team there, but I just figured I'd ask.

1. Probably went without saying, considering this is a massive online community and I just- I don't know. Can somebody teach me some more German? So far the extent of my vocabulary is insults, curse words, and anything from Wolfenstein 3D. (Been begging my parents to add the language to my Duolingo but no response. As a result, behold the herp derp in her natural habitat. That's me.)
   
   2. Thaaaaaaaat's probably right. Too busy splattering the floor with my apologies to double check my post again. (Trust me, I am much better about this kind of thing with my writing, I swear.)
   
   3. There's always that kind of trouble. In every democratic community ever. :P
   
   -Twistey

Yeah, there are definitely German speakers here, and speakers of many other languages.

I guess you meant … has the final say on whether I need permission or not?

Actually, we try to be as basic democratic as we can bee, so everybody may have a say in everything, but when it comes to holding up the rules and traditions, we usually listen to people who have been there and remember the precedence. (And then somebody will complain that Huinesoron is the quasi-dictator of the PPC because everybody listens to him. He isn't; there are just very few people who have been around longer than him.)
