The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

The essence of the PPC is that we're never going to finish our job; that's why the sadistic Flowers have so many Rules in the first place. What you suggest would be efficient, effective, and absolutely no fun. Who wants to read a story like that? It's effectively the Mary-Sue version of a war game.

That said, if you scaled it down immensely and put in a lot of problems that cause your agent's minor advantage to often malfunction, backfire, or otherwise be a source of humour without breaking the general PPC agent mold... that has potential. You'd have to run it by the Board first, though.

It's more a common-sense thing.

Can I be a jarate master then? Jarate is supposedly "jar based karate" but it really boils down to making enemies weak by throwing jars of urine at them.

Will probably be working then and have no idea what else I'll have to fit in, but I'll do my utmost to make sure I can come.

Maybe by then I'll have had time to make a Raketooth the Amazing Three-Armed Fox coat ... my sewing skills suck, but I'd still like to try that.

is there a wiki article on what's commonly acceptable? My other idea probably wont fly either

That if you go for permission with that idea still in mind, it'll be a reason for denial.

I wasnt actually applying for anything. sorry

Besides, considering Dann is a Permission Giver, if you apply for Permission with that it'll likely be a reason for you to be denied, anyway. So it likely won't go through.

Conveniently located here for your convenience.

The point of the PPC isn't to be mythic heroes ridding the world of badfic, or even knight-in-shining-armor types cleaning one 'verse at a time - The point is that the agents are borderline-nutcases doing an impossibly large job one teaspoon-full at a time, with half-broken equipment that never was enough for the job, and working in the most messed up corporate environment that has ever existed. And humor, ostensibly.

This is why I'm so strongly against superpowered Agents - we aren't here to change the world, it's the very fact that the world is unchangeable in anything resembling reasonable time that makes the PPC what it is.

What music are you listening to?
Don't you know there's people going hungry in Japan? Just eat it! Just eat it!

I figured that as long as I balanced how easily the minions died and how much firepower i could have at one time I could get away with it (Especially in universes like one piece where the main characters can fight entire armies and win)

And isnt one of the agents some kind of supernatural being in human form who chooses to limit her power? That's sort of where i got the idea.

Overpowered.

*shrugs*

Check the wiki. If anything, the sues would have that whole materialization power thing. Agents are relatively normal for their races, in general.

Whats OP stand for?

And how can I make it less roleplaying-y?

Beat iiiit, beat iiiit! No one wants to be defeated!

I'm just as much of a newbie as you, but those powers almost seem a bit OP.

This isn't a RP, after all, it's fiction writing.

WoG would probably be a better answer for you though.

Suppose I could materialize a limited number of military units (Infantry squads, armor, etc) as well as some equipment for myself.
They would not be human lives, merely imitations of life that could recieve orders telepathically and obey without question.
They could fit in with the canon or be generic soldiers with M1 tanks.
I would not need to constantly think about them to keep them present but if i were to fall asleep or be knocked unconscious they would all dematerialize. If I were riding in a gunship and fell asleep for even a moment i would fall to my death.
I would only be able to summon things that are related to combat (weapons, armor, etc) and would have to create fuel and ammo regularly.
The units would have a limited range to keep them from being able to go to the other side of the world while i drink biscuits and tea. Summoning each one would cost some kind of energy or stamina or something. maybe you have ideas.
I also don't know if I want to be able to create the soldiers from nothing or transform existing matter into soldiers. What do you guys think?

Gotcha now!

Welltry not to kidnap you, but no guarantee of success.
