The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

"I propose the following" is generally a way of signaling that you want people to vote, especially when you follow up with a list of terms and conditions.

Women's strikes have been happening for years, without her involvement. Remind me how this is at all relevant when the protest has nothing to do with her history?

Especially since one of its organisers is a convicted terrorist who helped murder two people and wound nine.

Have a music! (I don't know how links work, so here.)

Happy borned-day, Sandwich Boy. For a proper present, I hereby give to you not only the full set of roleplaying dice I give to newbies, because you have yet to receive one from me, but also a dicebag with which to hold them. Unlike the dice, which are whatever pattern you choose, the bag is black velvet on the outside and red silk on the inside. One side also has the Emblem of Larfen on it - that is, your ham sandwich icon. Yes, yes, I gave you something with your face on it. Deal with it.

I actually decided this morning - after another discussion with the teacher - that an interlude would suit the assignment much better. It's shorter, I have more creative license, and I get to show off some of the wackier parts of the PPC.

Specifically, most of the decision revolved around the length. My entire peer-grading group vetoed the mission, because the entire class did not want to deal with a thirty-six page mission, especially for things they'd probably never even heard of. On top of that, I've never written a mission before - trying to write my first mission under a time limit and for a grade would probably be a really bad idea.

After all, you're not publishing this or otherwise making it canonical.

So go have as much fun as you can (given the obvious constraint that this is graded work for a class) writing this. I hope to see the results after the whole assignment is finished.

Allow me to make up for my lateness with excessive exuberance.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OMG CONGRATULATIONS YOU'RE ANOTHER YEAR OLDER THIS IS SO AMAZING I CAN'T BELIEVE IT EXCEPT I CAN AAAAH HAVE ICE CREAM HAVE CAKE HAVE A BILLION DOLLARS HAVE THE WHOLE PLANET! AAAAAAAAAH! Glomps. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Ceases to be glomping.

Now, how was that?

I didn't mention a vote, nor did I intend for this to be a vote, nor (I think) did anybody else. I just brought up an idea. Sheesh.

Hope it's not too late.
I understand that my minimal presence would make it difficult to include me, and I might not be able to do much anyway due to personal reasons, but I'm in need of an incentive to strive to write more and socialize despite real life stress.
Anyway, my descriptions:
Male, 18, 5'8", light brown, short black hair, dark brown eyes, thin facial hair.
As for restrictions, do whatever you wish. Bend me, shake me, anyway you want me, it'll be fine.

As you may have guessed, I'm having to put this on hold for now. I'm currently swamped by work for my masters and I am having trouble keeping up as it is. Hopefully this should calm down over the next few weeks, and I should be able to continue with Dungeon Crawlers after that.

Congratulations for staying fresh after all those years!
Have some fresh blueberry muffins!

Sorry I'm late. Have a complimentary jar of kimchi and a generic hooded cloak!
I hope you enjoy your stay!

I mean, it's just a casual community vote deciding on if she can write a story set in the PPC universe for school. Not like we're amending the Constitution or anything.

Seriously, hS, you win the Shipfest forever.

I don't know what that particular essay requires, only that it needs to be about/on the PPC and that it needs to have a narrative. In any case, if it doesn't work, I'll scrap this proposal and find a new one; it's not like it's set in stone or anything.
My aim here is to clearly enumerate a plan of action, as it were. I like it when things are laid down explicitly; it helps to prevent misunderstandings.

You seemed to be proposing a plan which she would be required to stick to. I apologise for my misinterpretation.

My comment was specifically about the fact that an interlude might not meet the requirements of the work. That's why I asked if you'd read it, since you were proposing an interlude without addressing that point.

hS

Yes, I've read your comment. No, I'm not dictating anything. I'm just proposing something I think everybody will find acceptable. Is that a bad thing?

Also: neither your position as a member of the PPC community nor your PG hat gives you the right to dictate what someone can do for their schoolwork. It just... doesn't.

Grumbling about not obeying the letter (and quite possibly the spirit) of the rules aside — that's just my peeve, though — I propose the following, which I think will make everyone happy.

1) Triu will write an interlude — not a mission — for her essay (thus fulfilling the narrative requirement).
2) The interlude will be explicitly considered non-canon from the get-go.
3) After everything is said and done, Triu may use said interlude as part of her Permission request.
4) If she gets Permission, she may canonise this interlude, if she wants to. Otherwise, it will stay non-canon.
