The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

The Tropes are hungry, the hero is in the wrong story.

(Some of you may recognize this. I didn't come up with it, I found it in the blue pit of despair and thought it would be interesting to see what people do with it.)

I do think that Maslab would make a pretty good mod, from what I've seen of him in the last few days, especially in terms of being a mediator and defusing arguments. But PoorCynic's got a point here, and I think it would be good for you to gain some more experience with the PPC channel first.

"Well 'tis better than spending this season alone again." He said to himself. "And whilst home does still call, I know my friends can look after it for a few days more." He got up from where he had been sitting, the book he had previously been studying fell to the floor, now forgotten. Storme headed inside, motioning for the messenger to wait for a minute as he decided how to dictate his response. Walking to his own writing desk, Storme moved through his house, mumbling as he went. Grabbing a fresh sheet of parchment and a quill, Storme began to write his response.

It shall be a pleasure to come and attend your feast. I must, however, inform you that I may be slightly late due to other plans that are currently in place.

Storme nodded, it looked OK, and he could not see any obvious mistakes with it. Happy the ink had dried, he folded the letter up, put it in an envelope and sealed it. Looking down at the seal he frowned. It was on an old relic of his, from when he had still called himself Auran the Blazing, and its insignia was different from the one he used now. He sighed, it was done now and not a lot could change it. Finding some silver coins, he made his way out and handed both the coins and the letter to the messenger, quickly bidding him a good and quick journey.

Heading back inside once again Storme began to write up more letters, hoping his birds could carry them safely to his friends back home. He would visit them after this was all said and done. He smiled, sometimes wishing he could go back to those times where things were much simpler, but then he would think of what he had done since and realise that, perhaps, some things are just meant to be.

I love that site and it's an entertaining read and great place to find stuff to confuse and give laughs to my friends.

Also to be honest,I myself don't know how to get into discord. I want to join it but I really don't know how.

...I am not currently in favor of your becoming one of the Discord mods. Not immediately, anyway. I would prefer to see you go through some sort of acclimation period; to get more properly acquainted with chat regulars as well as the general atmosphere. This is not the same beast as the old IRC. Time changes everything, even if only in little ways.

Give it a month or two. Then I might be more inclined to say okay.

He's already helped defuse some arguments over the last few days.

Also, glad to see you're finally rejoining us on the Board. :)

Hello! I guess I'm returning here. Sorta. Even though I never really thought of myself as having left. I don't really have any plans to return to doing missions, but I still think of the PPC as a good place to improve one's writing ability, and I want to get back into doing that.

I've been hanging out on the Discord channel for several days, and am likely going to mostly be hanging out on there.

Speaking of Discord, I have noticed that we're getting more and more people in the channel, and there are just a few mods there that can't cover it all the time. I'd be interested in helping out with the moderators on the channel, as I have experience administrating and dealing with metaphorical cat herds.

Seriously, you'd be surprised how much like a herd of cats corporate employees can be.

Why, thank you!
I pride myself on it.

Funnily enough, the PPC was the first forum I joined, too! What a wondrous welcome to internet communities, oy?
Also, I dunno what you mean by 'faux' Filipino, but I've got a but of real Filipino knocking around my veins, so we've got that, too!
You speak any Tagalog, or some such?
I don't!

My gift upon you is: a comically oversized fork. So you can both eat yourself, and drive rage through the blood of nearby chopstick users!

Welcome!

I didn't trust a simple pinch, so I moved on to bashing my knee against a table.
I didn't trust that, so I bashed my outstretched arm with a mallet.
I didn't trust that, so I went at my toes with the lawnmower.

I did things of this nature a bit longer, and when I had finished extinguishing the last fire from the pile of sludge and ashes that used to be my house, and removed the javelin from my chest, I had finally concluded that this is, in fact, reality.

WRRRRRHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGHH

IT GOT ACCEPTED

WRRRRRHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGHH

I'm very happy about this, in case you couldn't tell.

Looks like I'll need to learn how to use Wikis!




WRRRRRHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGHH

BALLOONS! CAKE! ICE CREAM! CONFETTI! HAVE IT ALL! Blows noisemaker. I knew you could do it! Way to go!

And here is a gift: a self-updating guidebook of all the deathtraps in the multiverse.

May your spinoff be long and eventful.

Oh, him. Not sure why anyone would want to talk to him, I thought he was pretty universally reviled.

I'll get him on it. The College of Arms has to earn its keep, after all.

Congrats to you, Larfen-- you've definitely earned it. Well, probably, from the perspective of my extraordinarily limited experience, anyway.

By which I mean I liked it. And so did the people who actually know what they're doing.

Well done.

Forgot to mark off one more check on the list: PPC knowledge. You're good here, too, but I'd like to say as such here for completion's sake. I iz a derp.

Welcome to the order, Sir Stockins! May this Mask of Comedy serve thee well!

*Larfen J. Stocke,esq Obtained one (1) Mask of Comedy

Congratulations, Lawfen. With your skill and daring, I am certain that you will become a legend among the knights of Plort! This calls for a celebratory troll hunt!

(In other words, congratulations! *tosses Spikes*)

Congratulations. Here's your prize!



A barrel of Industrial Sprinkles! They SAY it's not for consumption... but when did it stop us?

I thought for sure someone would get to this while I was asleep, but it seems not.

*cracks knuckles*

Do I know you? I'd like to think so. You've been around for a while, you've contributed to the community, and you're quite active in Discord as well. Green light.

Do I like your characters? I should say so. They've been a blast to roleplay with, I like how unique they are, they've got some plot hooks in their backstories hinting at character development down the road, and from what I've sen in both RPs and in your prompts, they're likeable as well. Green light.

Can you write (technical)? No questions here, you get a green light. I did notice some SPaG errors in the bios and prompts, but they were minor enough that they didn't detract from anything and I'd have to go back and look to find specific examples. I doubt it'll be a problem when you write missions.

Can you write a good story? Well, your prompts made me guffaw when I was high out of my mind, and when I took another look at them today, they still made me giggle. Especially the "mug of sugar (with a few spoonfuls of tea.)." You did have a bit of a tendency to use the same gag of repeating a few lines with slight variations (example below), so I'd watch out for using that too much.

Maz immediately shifted her view forward.
He grunted vaguely, and looked away.
Maz looked at him, again.

Can you choose a good badfic? Well, I don't know Cowboy Bebop, but I took a quick look and oh dear Rowling my eyes hurt. I don't envy you on that one, and I'm inclined to take your word about how bad the rest of it is. Green light.

*looks up from checklist* Huh, looks like that's it, then.

*takes out sword and touches it to your shoulders* It is my pleasure to announce the newest knight of Plort, Jan 'Lawfen' Stockins!

Aside from one of my own shed feathers, have a living replica tiny Suu! Perfect for slimy snuggles, waste disposal, and cleaning up your hardwood floor!

I'll gladly adopt you as my Little Sib; my username is clickable, so talk to me whenever.

Good to hear you've done all the required reading. Here's a strawberry tart!

Good Baron Huinesoron, I would like to request an Alvish Heraldry.

My Alvish is a bit rusty, but here is the general idea:
Nis Blue, Rena Celeste: Canta nastar alta tera, Sword with celeste handguard; canta nastar nica, Golden obelisk; canta miri, Sun in splendor; canta miri, the gem ruby; indil in fore, a twelve point snowflake
