The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

Have a pair of cyan-tinted spectacles. They are believed to have healing powers. And if you don't mind my asking: where did your username come from? (Or is this one of those things that would be obvious if I shared any fandoms with you?)

Sorry; the more thorough newbies get with their intro-post question answering, the more questions we (or at least I) come up with. Starting conversations is fun! :)

We have a clear example below of a PPCer stating that he is offended by sexually derived insults.
And, the Constitution covers this but it's worth mentioning, insults derived from intent to belittle groups of people (racial slurs, etc.) should not be allowed. We probably shouldn't say stuff that's disrespectful to people's religions, either.

I’m still a quite inexperienced fanfic reader and had no idea what writers can get up to, rewriting a chapter but leaving old versions of rewritten paragraphs in and still not caring for anything.

James and Saxo’s mission, though, was a delight to read. To understand their developing relationship better, I even went back and reread their previous mission. This doesn’t happen often, so you can be proud on making me doing that.

Alas, while your betas did a very good job here, I couldn’t avoid noticing some typos in that previous mission:
There is now how and why. (Should be "no".)
James chomped down on his hand and Saxo yanked it back it with a yelp. (Remove second "it".)
Do not get to comfortable, (should be "too").

(And for a brief moment, I wondered whether I should send the Uncanonical Department of Inaccuracies into "Smells of Rose aka. The Enemy of my Enemy". While it is true that Harry’s age is always the number of his Hogwarts year plus ten, eighteen year old students at Hogwarts are not impossible and not even unusual. Since Hermione’s birthday is in September, as mentioned in PoA, she turned seventeen not more than thirty days after the beginning of her sixth Hogwarts year, and was actually eighteen through most of her seventh year. But since the badfic can’t decide in which year it is set and Hermione is not supposed to be at Hogwarts for most of her seventh year – except for the final battle – I guess I can let that slip, pretending that the charge "still going to Hogwarts at the age of 18" is just oddly worded.)

I just wanted to make it clear for the record that they were, in fact, deliberately throwing insults at another PPC member.

Pardon me, for that. What a useless message, eh?

But, really. There was a proper, constructive discussion here, and now you two're just... slagging each other.

I can't hold it against people for having a go at (not sure if argue is entirely accurate, as of now) each other, especially considering my lack of knowledge on the circumstances, but is it really needed on the Board?
Surely there are private channels in which you two could sort this stuff out? Gmail? Facebook? Carrier pigeon? Messages in bottles?

That this argument arose out of a discussion on people acting their age.

I like how Keiko and your old team dealt with this old shame of yours (especially the "chibi versions").

Alas, you still have this a/an problem I may have mentioned previously:

Corolla rubbed her chin in thought for a bit before opening an holographic window.
Should be "a holographic window" (you got it right the other four times).

KITT is black and can move silently, but it’s still a car going around in a empty city.
Should be "an empty city".

That’s an heavy-duty military truck.
Should be "a heavy-duty military truck".

"Hm? What’s funny?" Corolla asked, raising a eyebrow.
Should be "an eyebrow".

Other technical errors I noticed:

The quartet ended up in front of big, generic palace surrounded by a tall wall.
I guess there is an "a" missing.

Icy looked like she wanted to say something, but the bad writing was clearly affecting her thought processes. "Uh... Yes. Go on with your your patrol," she managed in the end.
Well, that may actually be the bad writing affecting Icy’s speech process, too.

"Ok, where the hell we are?" Sergio asked.
"I wonder where we are" would be correct, but in a question, word order should be reversed: "Ok, where the hell are we?"

At least in the sidereal system. Was a Virgo, am still a Virgo. By the tropical system, I'm a libra, but meh. Kanaya is very much my patron troll. (Terezi is adorable but not really me.)

On the other hand I tend to reserve the best insults for the worst behavior. You were, on a scale from bad customer to 4channer, mediocre at best. I guess I could have refused to be insulting I suppose, but tend to treat people the same way they treat me.

As for invalidating my point, maybe I should phrase it this way: "PG movies are constantly market towards 7-10 year olds, so standards that are appropriate for theme should be fine for us."

From our perspective, Ophiuchus does intersect the ecliptic. The path of the sun does pass through it.

The whole calendar listed looks like it's the actual (according to modern IAU borders and definitions) zodiacal calendar; you'll note it perfectly matches the wikipedia list, and poor Scorpio only shows up for seven days. This has pretty much always been the case, modulo the rate of change in earth's orbit; the nice round twelve-equal-chunks-of-time zodiac systems, both tropical and sidereal, were never accurate to the heavens. The tropical zodiac isn't even close, it's drifted by a month thanks to silly calendar definitions.

I/m pretty sure that NASA doesn't have any control over astrology, though. We've known these systems are out of whack for generations and we still use them.

Y'know, the one centred around the brief and sad existence of the Republic of Biafra. =[

Sorry,but it's not a real thing.

I went from the fish to the thing that the fish is supposed to swim in.
Hello, existential crisis!

If you have an adblocker enabled, disable it for FreeRice since they pay for the rice in the first place through ad revenue.

Everybody likes rice. Especially starving people.

FreeRice.com is an organization that makes you answer quiz questions regarding, well, all sorts of things, really. For every question you get right, they donate 10 grains of rice to the World Food Programme. I used to spend a lot of time doing it a while ago and then forgot about it until happy chance brought it back to my attention. And I think that might be true of a lot of people, so, with that in mind...

The PPC Rice Division is accepting applications.

Let's do some good. =]

I mean, I was listed as an Ox by the Chinese Zodiac, so it's not too much of a shock, but still. :/

I'd give you a tight hug, but sadly, birds made of knives just aren't exactly the "huggy" type. ^^;

Glad to see that you're doing okay!

I don't appreciate the use of sexually-derived insults. I don't think they should be in the PPC wiki as a rule of the IRC, and I definitely don't appreciate them being targetted at me.

Your point was:

Personally I think the MPAA guideline for what qualifies for PG should be fine[, since] you have to be at least 13 to even join the PPC

This point was based on a false assumption (the second part), and is therefore invalidated.

See?

hS

Happy to see you're feeling better, I was worried.

All is forgiven.

"Pursuing My True Self"... I can't help but see Marina in my mind. For some reason, all those mentions of technology really reminds me of how she short-circuts stuff.

"It's My Turn" - now here's a twist. I see this as a negative song. This is a Suethor (any Suethor) being blind to concrit and thinking they're perfect and don't need to develop.

Hmm... I honestly can't figure out anyone for the third one, so I'm just going to leave it. Sorry :P



Now for my picks! I've got four:

"I'm Odd", a removed song from Alice in Wonderland.
"Perfect World", from Emperor's New Groove.
"Mr. Pinstripe Suit", by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (Yes, I used that before, but whatever :P).
"Poor Unfortunate Souls", from The Little Mermaid (metal cover by Jonathan Young).

Alright. The way this little game goes is simple.

You link musics here on the Board.
People associate this to something PPC, like an agent doing the Duty, the glitterbags, or a specific Agent or Flower.
Said people link new musics.

Bilan? Everyone get awesome musics to share and listen.

Only one rule. If you have characters, you cannot name them for an answer.

All credits for this game go to JulyFlame, who posted it the first time.

I'll begin with these ones:

-Pursuing My True Self, By Shoji Meguro
-It's My Turn, by Jeff and Casey Williams,
-Life Will Change, by Shoji Meguro too.
