The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

I really liked 'How to Kill a Sue' by Iximaz. I haven't read any of Aegis' work though.

The Aviator and Zeb are teamed up with the Detective and Jack for a Harry Potter x Doctor Who mission.

Zeb is overjoyed, Jack is confused, and the Aviator and the Detective begin to question their life choices.

Not counting present absentees like Kaitlyn.
I'm not wrong, am I now?

The logs. If you're creeped out by Zerg or similar things, you might not want to click, since they show up at one point. I've included plenty of context (possibly a bit too much).

Sorry about not posting screenshots, but my machine wasn't cooperating. You can search the chat for phrases from this to check me if you want. Also, the formatting's a bit wonky because I'm preserving the text as it appeared in the chat.

(And if you don't want to read all that, the fic in question. Rated T, but warns for gore. RWBY/Starcraft)

I think it's much more clear and progresses easily from one point to the next. The bases seem to be pretty well covered.

On your questions:

1. I think there's a difference between "I disagree with you and my opinion hasn't changed, but I'm sorry for offending you anyway [because I care about your feelings]" and "I'm sorry you were offended even though I'm totally still in the right [therefore you're stupid for feeling that way]." The former should be acceptable while the latter is not. But yeah, it is a fairly tricky matter of word order and tone, which has also given us no end of trouble. I think I said something at some point to the effect that a decent apology should be for the hurt/offense given, because the point is to show that you respect the other person and didn't actually want to hurt them. It also helps to say that you'll try to avoid doing/saying whatever it was in the future, 'cuz it shows you understand the problem and do want to get along. Maybe something like that could go in as a sub-clause of Proposed Article 11? Though I don't think it would be wise to dictate "All apologies must take this exact form or else," so... hrm. Maybe someone else can solve this one.

2. I don't think there's anything wrong with both parties apologizing for a misunderstanding. It takes two, after all, and if everybody cares enough about everybody else's feelings to say they're sorry for hurting them even if it was an accident, that's great. {= )

I think what we're looking for here is humility enough to accept that we can always be wrong and kindness enough to put the other person's feelings over our own. It's embarrassing to make a mistake, and being challenged or called on it can make us defensive and angry, but our feelings are not more important than everyone else's. We should help each other realize that making a mistake is not necessarily the end of the world, so we can let it go. This gets proportionally more difficult the more important the thing you're wrong about is to your identity, but there are only a few things that really ought to be that big a deal, I think, and they're pretty well covered in Proposed Articles 2 and 3.

I think I've strayed from the point of the question, though. My sense is that if someone has honestly done nothing wrong and someone else is jumping on them, that sort of thing usually gets nipped in the bud pretty quickly. It may not need clarification. But others may have other ideas.

The PPC began sometime before March 2002. We know this, because they were on their fifth spinoff by then.

The very very early PPC community was actually populated by OFUM fans - I think Miss Cam must have been one of their first supporters. In fact, I think the community itself consisted of the FF.net reviews and the OFUM Yahoo group.

Then J&A got kicked from FF.net (in May 2002, and Philosopher@Large set up a homepage for them (it's archived here. At the time, they had 14 missions up - everything through to 'Sisterhood'.

The Board was up within the year. We have a single archived front page from December, which spans post numbers 321 to 404 (in six days). Assuming that rate is constant, you get a foundation date around November 10th. That's probably slightly later than actual (since the number of posts would've been growing), but the Internet Archive shows it didn't exist on October 8th (as in, it wasn't on the Oddlots homepage).

People started to flood in. It started with those who had seen the PPC on FF.net - my wife is one of those [/namedrop]. Then it was people who saw the spinoffs. By May 2003, the Board was huge - the archives show we were racing through the Front Page every single day.

Sometime at the beginning of '03, Acacia left. We have a fairly big archive of subject lines from '03, and she doesn't appear in them. Jay (as Otik) kept posting until at least August, and then left herself.

I joined the Board in September, ultimately by way of OFUM. So good timing on my part! I saw Jay come back a couple of times, which was exactly as overwhelming as you can imagine. And I've been here ever since.

I realise this is a longer reply than you were expecting, but it's good to drag out the ol' history books every so often. I usually find out something new - this time it was that October 8th date on which the Board didn't exist. Fun stuff.

Unfortunately, I don't play basketball... The music was very interesting though.

Frankly, I didn't know it was all that popular.

Because I have to start somewhere.

Barbara Wright: Barbara comes from 'barbarian', wright obviously means someone who makes things.

hS's version: Uanuiel Tân. 'Uanuiel' is a cludge from uanui+iel, 'monstrous woman'. 'Tân' is 'Maker', and forms the second syllable of Cirdan's name. (Both taken straight from the Ardalambion wordlist.)

Ffwydriad's version: Edel Thavron. 'Edel' is purportedly Sindarin for 'stranger', but the source doesn't reference anything. This source gives 'Othol' as the Sindarin for 'stranger', and references PE17. This source gives 'Ethelion' as a translation of Peregrin (= wanderer), and I know Sindarin likes to alter the first vowel in words with endings, so 'Othol' or 'Othel' makes sense. A feminine name could be 'Etheliel', which might well contract to 'Ethiel'.

'Thavron' does indeed mean wright, and I feel silly for not looking it up directly. [Facepalm]

Best version: I'm gonna go with Ffwydriad here and give Ethiel Thavron as the best translation.

Ian Chesterton: Ian is the Scottish version of John, which comes from Hebrew 'Yochanan', meaning 'G*d is Gracious'. Chesterton I'm pretty sure goes back to Caster+Town, or 'Fort-Village'.

hS's version: Eruan Garthobel. I glossed Ian as Eruan, 'Gift of God', which... is wrong. [Facepalm] I'm on firmer ground with the surname Garthobel, which means Stronghold Enclosed-Dwelling - pretty much exactly the meaning in the original.

Ffwydriad's version: Eruainon Echadion. Eru we know. 'ainon'... the best I can do is this being Quenya for 'son of holiness'. The namelist gives 'Erufael', 'God is just', while the Parf Edhellen site gives 'raen' for 'sweet-faced' as its best approximation for 'gracious' (also from PE17). That would give 'Eruraen', which hurts to say. Maybe that's the source of Eruainon, with the R vanishing...

Echadion... hmm. 'Echad' for camp is sourced to Unfinished Tales, where it's part of a placename (Echad i Sedryn, Camp of the Faithful). Valid (I'm now irritated that Ardalambion doesn't give it; I may have to transfer alliegence to the Parf Edhellen.) Then you've got a 'son of' on the end, which isn't what the name means.

Best version: I think I have to go with the namelist + the accurate translation, and pick Erufael Garthobel here. Bonus points for the Doctor being able to call him 'Parthobel' and have it still be a word.

Susan Foreman: Susan means lily, by way of a Hebrew word which now means 'rose' as well, and an Egyptian one meaning 'lotus'. A foreman is a sort of practical manager: they stand between the people doing the actual work, and the management above.

hS's version: Elloth Taid. 'Elloth' is just 'flower', though it feels like it could mean 'star-blossom' - which describes a lily very nicely. We might actually want to go over to 'Meril' here, which literally means 'rose'. Taid is a word meaning second-in-command.

Ffwydriad's version: Elloth Hîrbenn. Elloth we know. Hîrbenn is a construct, Hîr+benn, 'lord-man'. 'benn' is actually an archaic word for husband, which has slipped over to just meaning man. In constructs it should actually show up as either 'ben' or 'ven', which suggests to me that we should avoid it. Instead, we can use the archaic word dîr, which shows up in names as -nir or -dir.

Of course, we can't exactly use 'Hirdir', so now we need another word for a mid-level leader. Hmm... how about taid? :D Taidnir works perfectly well as a spoken name, though I admit it looks a bit clunky. Failing that, 'Herdir' is a genuine Sindarin word for 'master', as used to mean 'Mister'. And the idea of the Doctor's junkyard being named 'Some Bloke's Yard' tickles me.

Best version: I just can't forsake the star-flower. Elloth Herdir it is.

hS

(PS: inb4 'Susan is the Master!'. Oops...)

Those books held up pretty well, last time I gave them a read. I've got fond memories of them, and while they're on the highest shelf with things I don't read often, I do still have the five I own out. Looks like three of them are hardcover.

Who joined the PPC back when it was just a bunch of fanfic authors the Originalbies liked/were friends with.

This is very good to know.

--Key is bad at timelines

As an outsider and an acquaintance of his elsewhere, and having now read these messages, I wish to change my vote to "Option 1 but with a 3-month ban if he causes trouble again", as with everyone else. I say this partly because I actually didn't want to be a part of all this initially. Looking back, it was probably my instinct to try and help people I regard as friends in times of adversity that led to me getting dragged in, and knowing that I could easily got caught in the crossfire, and that my efforts didn't make that much of a difference in the thick of things, I may have been better off remaining silent. Maybe.

That being said, it's good to see that Glarn has apologized for his behavior, or at least I hope that's the case - and in fairness to him, I took a second look at that story, and I feel that once you get past the... questionable elements, it actually makes for quite am interesting read, and I at least believe his efforts to justify the events. This of course does not mean I approve of how he behaved on the chat - he has creative potential, I can say that much, but he has yet to understand how to be respectful to others or to handle concrit, which is similar to how I was back when I caused no shortage of infuriating mayhem back in the day. Well, I was even dumber and didn't see sense until far too late, but still.

That being said, I also appreciate that Glarn is willing to take the time off to do his own thing and at least in his view, not have to conform to standards for a place he barely visits anyway. We aren't an obligation, and I know a few Boarders have just dropped off due to Real Life or their own projects, including some I know via PM. (And come to think of it, I haven't posted any new PPC writing pieces myself since last November, and that may or may not have anything to do with the fact that I start up my part-time job next week, and I swear Dad's keeping me away from the Internet on purpose for the sake of preparations!) I still think being blunt and flippant about such a critical situation isn't exactly wise or tasteful, but since it does seem like Glarn is leaving on his own volition, as I suspected, I don't think that really matters.

Glarn, if you ever read this, I hope you know that I harbor no hard feelings towards you for this or all the previous difficulties we had on the PPC chatroom. Opting to leave a tense situation before things escalated is a choice I should've made a long time ago during that disastrous group project, and it's a relief that you're willing to back down, hopefully to take the time to understand yourself a little better. I hope you're learning from this experience as much as we are, and I'm still holding out on the possibility that you may be able to come back to see us when you're older and wiser. For now, though, best of luck with your fiture endeavors, and I hope we can still keep in touch on DeviantArt and Tumblr, at least.

He is not the first person to bring up many of these issues. I would like to investigate it a bit further before making a decision one way or the other.

Which I'm going to name as 'the Harassment Amendment', though it's expanded waaaaay beyond that scope.

My aim here is threefold: firstly, to work harassment into the opening articles; second, to improve the structure of the opening articles; third, to get 'stop when you're told to' into the Constitution.

In doing this, I ended up adding 5 Articles, 2 Sections, and completely reworking the first half of the Constitution.

Please pick this apart and change it, all at once or piecemeal (including changing things back) - none of it is set in stone. Please note that I've added a couple of questions after proposed Article 11, which I think the community really needs to offer an opinion on.

---

Section One: On Toleration And Its Limits

1. The PPC community is a tolerant and welcoming place. It is a home to people from all walks of life, with wildly different opinions on all manner of topics. Its members are proud to be able to discuss even difficult and controversial topics without falling into fighting. It is a place where everyone is respected as a person, regardless of who they are. All respectful opinions are treated with respect, whether they come from a newbie or someone who's been here fifteen years.

However:

2. The community will not tolerate any individual or group who intentionally discriminates against, abuses, persecutes, or otherwise attacks others in any way, shape, or form, for any reason. This includes, but is not limited to discrimination on the basis of sex, race, ability, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, and religion.

3. The community will not tolerate the use of language which evokes any form of discrimination or persecution. The subjects mentioned above, and others which cause genuine suffering (such as rape, murder, abuse, and mental health issues) should be discussed with sensitivity. Even 'joking' about these subjects is Not Funny; ‘it was just a joke’ is not an excuse - it’s self-incrimination.

4. The community will not tolerate any form of harassment between members of the PPC, whether it manifests as attacking, bullying, or pestering. Respect people's personal boundaries.

5. Those who engage in intolerable behaviour forfeit their right to respect; however, not warranting respect does not mean they do not warrant politeness. This means you are not allowed to descend into flaming and insulting them, but instead should follow Article 10 and the other provisions of the Constitution.

Section Two: On The Capacity To Engage In Mature Conversation

6. Do Not Flame. You are allowed to disagree with people, but Do Not Flame. There is a distinct difference between 'I don't agree with your opinion and I think that your theory is factually wrong' and 'You're an idiot and your opinion is built on lies and stupidity'. If you find that you're hurling insults around, just stop. This even (or perhaps especially) applies if you consider yourself to have been wronged by another community member. If it’s a misunderstanding, a flame is an unwarranted attack. And if they’re deliberately trying to provoke you, attacking them is exactly what they want - and damages the community as a whole. ((Current Article 2, as written.))

7. We encourage respectful, friendly debates here. Someone disagreeing your opinion is generally not an attack on you, and should not be taken personally. Should a debate escalate into personal attacks, flaming, or any form of disrespectful conduct for any reason, everyone involved should step back and calm down before continuing. If this cannot be done, it may be best to abandon the conversation entirely. ((Current Article 4, as written.))

8. If someone says something that seems offensive, but you’re not sure exactly what they meant, ASK them first, before jumping down their throats. Astonishingly enough, most people aren’t out to offend anyone. (If they are being deliberately insulting, believe me, you’ll have a lot of backup.) Don't be afraid to ask what someone meant - it isn't silly to want the full facts. Then, if there has been an honest misunderstanding, accept your mistake and move on. Apologies for making a mistake, and for being unclear, are recommended, but should not be demanded. ((Slight tweaks to second-to-last sentence.))

((The mimes have been thrown permanently into the pit to create a joke later.))

Section Three: On Making Reparations

9. If you believe someone is doing something wrong, it is important to tell them clearly and calmly what the unwanted behavior is, why it is unwanted (i.e. how it violates the Constitution and/or is offensive), and that they are being asked to stop. Shouting or snapping at people does not usually help, so it is generally best to address the issue sooner, with a clear head, rather than later, with lots of built-up frustration and anger. ((Per Nesh, with slight tweaks.))

10. Everyone deserves an honest second chance – which means, initially, a chance to stop, explain, and/or apologise. This means that, if you believe that someone is engaged in any violation of the Constitution, but particularly Articles 1-4, it is critical to make sure they understand what they are doing wrong, so that they can make amends. Explain it to them yourself, or ask a third party to do so – but the key word is explain. Telling someone to shut up because their opinion is unwanted does not constitute a chance. ((Current Article 7, as written.))

11. If someone or multiple someones have asked you to stop what you're doing, especially on the basis of the Constitution, take a step back. Stop and look at what you are doing or saying. Take the time to think about it - the PPC isn't going anywhere. Remember the foundation of respect that the PPC community is built on (see Article 1). If there is good reason for their requests that you stop, then apologise - it doesn't even hurt a little! It is always acceptable to explain yourself if you've made an honest mistake – we all do sometimes! – but please make sure that explaining why it happened once or twice doesn't turn into making excuses for why it keeps happening. In cases of persistent rule-breaking, may be invoked.

((Article 11 is partially cribbed from Nesh's suggestion, with big changes. In writing it, I ran into multiple questions I needed to ask:

1/ In the past, 'I'm sorry the thing I said offended you even though I didn't mean it to' has been a highly unacceptable response. What sort of apology are we asking for here? A simple 'sorry I said that'? What if you think the thing you said isn't something you should apologise for saying - say, if it's your religious belief?

2/ Nesh's suggested version presupposes that you've actually done something which you should be told to stop. What if you haven't? Article 5 [current] / 8 [this proposal] says that the person doing the accusing should apologise for their mistake - but Nesh has proposed that the person being accused should also be apologising. I think this needs serious clarification. It also has relevance to:))

12. Wilful ignorance is not an excuse. If someone is ignoring the Constitution and claiming that they’re not really doing anything wrong - despite explanations to the contrary - that may constitute using up their chance. However, wilful ignorance on the part of the accuser is also not an excuse. If someone clarifies a genuine misunderstanding, continuing to push for an apology may count as persecution on your part. ((Article 8 as written.))

13. If you find it impossible to get along with another member of the PPC, you can take it up in private e-mail. However, the rules of civility and respect do not disappear outside PPC community spaces, or while talking about someone. Don’t engage in bullying behaviour, and don’t say anything about another PPCer you wouldn’t say to their face. Harassing others by private means is just as serious as harassing them in public, if not more so, and will be treated as such - which means that if you find yourself being harassed or bullied by another PPCer, please make the community aware! We cannot help with a situation if we don’t know it exists. ((Article 9 as written.))

14. The PPC as a community is responsible for upholding the Constitution. If following Article 10 doesn't resolve a situation, any and all uninvolved community members have a responsibility to back up the person who is in the right, or to defuse an unclear situation. It is never wrong to ask a third party to comment on a dispute, but try to find someone uninvolved; a mediator will be more useful for resolving a dispute than a supporter. ((Article 10 as written.))

14.5. If discussion is unable to resolve a situation, persistent rule-breakers can be shunned or told to leave the PPC community. We don’t want to do this - so if you're being accused of breaking a rule, take a step back and, if you are in the wrong, stop, apologise, and move on. Grudges are no fun! ((Article 10.5 as written.))

Section Four: On Sweet Mercy That Was Heavy

15. Wow. That was some seriously heavy reading, but it was important stuff. You still with us? Good! The rest isn't quite as intense, so it should be a breeze for you. As a reward for making it this far, here's a recording of a mime artist's interpretation of Hamlet.

... oh, wait. Never mind.

((Sections 5-8 are sections 3-6 as written.))

I warned you...

hS

Yeah, what I did was dig up the relevant bits of Unearthly Child, watch the performances given, and try and get the voicework to match the performances given. It took me a few goes, but the end product is about as good a match as I was able to get.

Thanks again for the compliments. It means a lot, coming from someone who lives and breathes Tolkien. =]

You forget - I joined in the days when Miss Cam(!!!!!) was still on the Board. I spoke to Jay(!!!!!) once or twice. Andy and Saphie (!!!!!) were still around, and Architeuthis (!!!!!) and... yeah, what I'm saying is, I spent a lot of time hyperventilating when interacting with the Originalbies.

So I totally get it. (But I am not one to let getting it stand in the way of introducing levity onto a Board which sometimes sorely needs it.)

hS

"Thank you, Blearm. It is much appreciated." He walks back over to Renna, and says, "Do you believe this will be sufficient?"

Virro: (7 + 2Cir = 9) You barter with Blearm quite successfully, and are delighted when he gives you a fine oak longbow in return for your currently broken weapon. You are not quite sure where either your new longbow appeared from, or where your old bow went, but right now you don't really care. Lost Cracked Bow, Gained Longbow (+5)

Evard: ()

Uriel: (9) You use your powers in a way that most had not thought to use them before. Whilst you are very sure that there are no magic users in the next room, you are not 100% sure there are no sentient creatures in the next room at all. You did however feel the presence of several magic, and magical, items in the next room.

Keegra: (2) You try to speak but you just can't make the words come out. In fact the co-ordination between your teeth, your brain and your tongue is so bad that you manage to bite your tongue whilst trying to speak, badly. This doesn't stop you from trying however, and when you realize that talking isn't your best bet right now, in your gesturing you manage to strike the door, slightly harder than you intended. The pain jars your arm slightly, but with your bash the door seems to pop out of its hinges and fall to the ground, revealing to you Room 6. Gained (Bitten Tongue, -1 Inj, 1 turns remaining) Lost 3 health.

Xiv'riit: (12) You give your longsword to Blearm and in return he carefully hands you an exquisite longsword. It is only after he has handed it to you, and you have picked it up, that you realise that he had kept some cloth between his hand and the sword whilst giving it to you. Before you can question why, a searing pain ripples through your body, cause you to yell out in agony, however after a brief few, but painful, seconds the pain is gone. Looking at Blearm he squeaks "Sword is now bounds to you, it can never go too far from you and will always return. Onlys way to release you from this is to die." Despite the morbid way the Kobold ends his speech, you can't help but feel empowered by your sword. Gained Fatal Touch (+6, Lethal Touch, Return Policy) Lost 6 Health.

Kali: ()

Yeleni: ()

Priya: ()

Davug: () You wait in the Last Bastion for Virro's next orders

Shaban: () You wait in the Room 4 for Virro's next orders

Room 5: There are five male warriors standing a little bit back from the door in a line. The outer two are Lizardmen, whilst the other three are all dwarves The dwarves are clad in plate mail, and wield a shield and an axe each, the two Lizardmen are wearing some kind of Heavy Armour and are wielding Greatswords. Each of the Lizardmen are also holding the collars of a Guard Dog and seem ready to release them at a moments notice. Further back there is a female elf wearing Leather armour, wielding a Longbow with a full quiver of arrows on her back, Next to her is a female Centaur wearing Mail Armour with some Javelins strapped to her back. Finally, almost out of sight is a small Kobold in Light armour with a sling. The room itself is another long rectangle, although this one is thinner than room 4. There do not appear to be any other doors in this room, although a lone painting seems to stand out almost at the far end of the North Wall and two lighter shades of stone are almost opposite each other on the North and South Walls about a third of the way down. The rest of the room looks well used, a temporary smithy/kitchen seems to have been set up alongside some benches and desks with things going on on them and a small sleeping area. Noticing you are not Undead, the Warriors seem to relax slightly, and bid you welcome to, as they call it, "The Last Bastion."

Room 6: The room is relatively small, probably the smallest room you've been in so far, although the contents of the room may make it feel smaller than it actually is. In one of the corners there is a massive amount of weaponry, in another a massive collection of armours, a third has rings, belts and amulets galore, whilst the fourth corner holds a single chest. Directly opposite you is a map that looks different to the ones you have seen previously. The door that lead into this room has mysteriously disappeared, and in front of the now vacant doorway is a small rectangular welcome mat. This must be one of the treasure rooms scattered around the dungeon that you have heard about.

Rudig: () You puzzle over the existence of the newfound passageway and begin to work out how would be best to hold it in case things take a turn for the worse.

Gikur: (4) Amazed at how Keegra opened the door with a single punch, the disappearance of the door makes you worry about setting foot inside.

Urouk: () You stand guard, looking out of the known entrance to The Last Bastion.

Trijask: () You continue to guard the door to The Last Bastion and watch for enemies to kill.

Gantuxuz: (8) You move through the doorway, stepping over the welcome mat as if it wasn't there. Poking a couple of things and lifting weapons and armour from their positions you declare the room safe.

Guard Dogs: () you wait for Trijask to give you an order and attack.

Renna: ()

Prilanos: (7 + 2Cir = 9) taking the initiative you move over to Xiv'riit and try to heal him. (6) Your healing energy flows through him and heal him for 9 Health. You make the motions again, (4) restoring a further 5 Health.

Blearm: () you giggle quietly, the normal people in The Last Bastion ignore you as they always do, you know you're not right in the head, if you were you wouldn't be where you are. Happy to be trading again you giggle as you watch both theElf and the Shardmind get acquainted with their new weapons
