The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

You're notified when you get a message on your talk page, so I figure maybe that'll get their attention. Since they'll have "You have new messages" stuck on their screen until they check it out.

Though there is that sorta-maxim, "All fantasy is a Lord of the Rings ripoff; all sci-fi is an Aliens ripoff".

...and some as big as your head. And Boromir with a banana-phone.

If it makes you feel better, Trojie's been badgering me to go over one of her docs for, oh, about two months now. Still haven't got round to it.

It's probably my fault. I tempted the Ironic Overpower by commenting on how you're beta-reading for half the Board. Naturally you would then be provided with a million and one things to do after a remark like that. *pats*

~Neshomeh, who figures waiting for edits in the Real World is probably worse.

Wow, I could start my own Armoury to compete with Ansela's at this rate...

Have been getting them, just keep having a million and one things to do. Apologies to Neshomeh too. *hangs head in shame and is a bad, bad beta* Is tomorrow good for you both?

Here's an arsenal of Anti-Lustin Squirt Guns, Guns, Bullets, Rocket Launchers, Bolters, Grenades, C4 Rounds (just in case you also want to destroy the building Luxury/Maeluwien/Fanboys/Fangirls etc. are in), and Chainswords to use as you see fit.

Of course all major cities are so like each other that it isn't even funny. A-M could be New York, or London or Madrid or Paris or Berlin or Washington or any major city. I feel the differences between major cities are much akin to identical twins getting their hair dyed and this is why you will always see something of home in A-M

This is the first I've heard of "Dawn" and "Dusk Daybreak", names that set off several alarm bells in my brain.

Dear me, this "Mirwen Sunrider" seems to be copying a few elements from TOS, like Jay's incessant habit of taking pictures of Rivendell. She also doesn't seem to know that it takes so much more than the average agent's Death Glare to intimidate the SO, not to mention the fact that kingsnakes are completely harmless and haven't the venom in them to make a fruit fly dizzy. *tsk tsk tsk*

*looks at huuuuge collection of food* You lot better help me eat this, I'll never manage it alone.

Oooh, not had corn on the cob for ages... *nomnomnom*

*adds Shiny Knife to collection of dangerous objects*

Are they a-standing in a row?

*tackled* Oooof!

...Mah own otter plushie. :D *huggles it*

Um... what is the correct phrase?

Happy 21st, Cassie!

Have my Shiny Knife and a corn on the cob!

In many of the dungeons and raids there are references to popular movies and books. One of the metals that you get to mine in the game is even mithryl.

Has the server been eating my e-mails?

I ran across these on the Pit the other day, and left some vaguely encouraging comments (probably too encouraging, in retrospect) suggesting she check out the Board. I think I also mentioned the wiki. The idea was to gently lead into 'hey, you need Permission to do this, and I'm pretty sure you don't have it' without seeming to be nasty about it (especially if it turned out that she did have it after all), and also to introduce her to a place where she could get some advice/concrit on her writing (which, as you have said, did need it rather badly).

At my first reading, it looked like she'd encountered The Original Series, but hadn't pursued things far enough to find out about the Board, wiki, Permission, etc., so I thought that it might be a good idea to introduce her to those things, since she was obviously keen. Primarily, though, I was just trying to find out if she was on the Board or not, so I could introduce her to the concept of Permission if necessary. I was expecting either to get a reply from the writer, or for her to introduce herself to the Board, rather than just posting stuff straight to the wiki.

In hindsight, though, I phrased things rather badly, which may have given her the wrong idea about the whole thing, and I probably should have linked her to the Permission page on the wiki as well. Apologies if I stuffed up. Anyway, if you want to start a dialogue, then she might respond to reviews on the story.

Btw, I also found these on the Pit: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3552696/1/PPCAnAgentsWorkIsNeverDone
Do they belong to anyone here?

If nobody has any idea who the writer is, chances are she/he didn't bother getting Permission, which is sort of not okay. The point of Permission is to have a bit of quality control on what gets posted in the name of the PPC, and my personal feeling is that Dusk Daybreak's missions really needed someone to have raised an eyebrow and asked some questions about the Sueishness of the agents.

I'd like for more of the Board to at least have a look at the article on the wiki and the attached discussion, if not read over the missions themselves, so there can be some more discussion about the matter. For one thing, I'm not sure how to proceed with trying to bring the writer into a dialogue with us, because so far our comments on the wiki have gone unnoticed or ignored--not a good sign. I hesitate to comment on the missions themselves until I have a better idea of what you all think, so please speak your piece.

~Neshomeh

I bring to thee a Lovely Bunch'a Coconuts.

TELL THEM HOW I AM DEFYING GRAVITY!

*shuts up as the Agents swing un unison towards the Sue-alert sound of singing*
