Wanna know how to make a Mary Sue?

V


There's your guide.

1) Only if you a) have Permission (:P) and b) don't think they'll actually kill each other at being so cramped. It's not generally done. I think there is precedent for interconnecting RCs though, so you could have them in a couple that have doors to each other.

2) Ask the author of the OFU you want them to have gone to.

3) Is there any plot significance to it? Or are you just playing for cheap laughs? Cheap laughs are all good, but it helps if they're there for a reason.

4) I would say it counted as torture.

5) Go check the List of RCs on the Wiki.

6) If you really feel the need.

7) For who? You'd have to be very careful it didn't just turn into a gratuitious Cute Animal Friend.

8) You'd get chargrilled Greek Hero. Unless it was Heracles or Achilles, in which case I'd say that would have to go to the judges.

9) Because the kind of food Chinese restaurants serve is not traditionally considered breakfast food and because even the famously hard-working people who run Chinese restaurants deserve some time at home - given Chinese restaurants are typically open very late 7 days a week, can you blame them for wanting to be home in the mornings?

Given that all of these people are my headvoices, have distinct personalities, and will basically be writing themselves, I'm not too worried about character development. About Fred the Plover... actually, you're partly responsible for his existence. You said that plovers taste good with barbecue sauce, and I decided that my plover would be named Fred, but then couldn't decide whether or not to eat him. This culminated in the decision to essentially do both, and have Fred the Plover as I described him. I ask if I can include him because my head is a very strange place.

1. Am I allowed to have four agents and a dysfunctional techie/psychiatrist in the same RC?
As someone pointed out, it might be a bit much. I would recommend to keep a low number of characters, to allow in-depth character development. A psychiatrist would be a good idea though: the PPC needs more of them, I think.

2. Can my agent have gone to an OFU even if I haven't officially registered them in RL?
I suppose so.

3. Can I have a plover named Fred the Plover appear out of nowhere, crash into something, and spontaneously combust every time someone mentions his name or barbecue sauce?
...Uh, there's no reason why not. Why do you ask?

4. Is skinning a feline Sue while they're still alive a breach of the 'no torture' rule, or is it okay?
Clearly a breach.

5. Is RC #423ab taken, or can I claim it?
You can take it.

6. Can I cover the door to the RC with bizarre signs?
Nothing forbids it.

7. Are winged cats acceptable pets?
Stranger things have been seen at the Headquarters.

8. What do you think would happen if a Greek hero fought a balrog?
Depends which hero, but very few would stand a chance against a balrog.

9. Why are Chinese restaurants never open for breakfast?
Dunno.

Suecist.

While I'm sure that it's pretty clear that most of the PPC have an open disdain for Mary Sues, there are probably some who are more hateful of them than others.

Or maybe this has been used before but I just haven't caught it yet.

The world of the PPC is a very strange one...

More than Christian Bale knows, I bet.

Did you ever hear of Green Arrow? (No, this is just friendly geek-conversation.)

I was assuming it would be a larger-than-normal RC, kind of like Team Phoenix has.

1. Wouldn't it be rather cramped?
   2.I think so; if not, I need to break out the Retcon.
   
   3.Why not?
   
   4. Yes...at least from my POV. Would you be allowed to do it to a human Sue?
   
   5. There's a list on the wiki.
   
   6.Why not? (Unless it's Chaos symbols or something equally mind-warping...)
   
   7.Why not?
   
   8. Extra crispy hero and content balrog. Of course, there's always Deux Ex Machinia...
   
   Rule of thumb: if it doesn't contradict TOS, it's fine.

I might have something for you. *pulls out sack* now then, where did i put it? *rummages in sack**muffled explosion* no, that's not it. *more rummaging* ah, there it is. Here, it's some of the C4 I had left over. about 20 pounds, I think.

it would depend on the hero. if it was Odysseus, he would probably try to trick it, and get burnt to a crisp. the answer to #6 you could probably find in one of the "history" stories. i think i saw something about an RC that had had the number covered with posters, so i would assume the answer to be yes.

That kitten is just begging to be hugged... though, it does appear to have an evil glint in its eyes... ah well, all the more reason to hug it!

I have a bunch of questions, and I thought I'd get them all out in one big post.

1. Am I allowed to have four agents and a dysfunctional techie/psychiatrist in the same RC?

2. Can my agent have gone to an OFU even if I haven't officially registered them in RL?

3. Can I have a plover named Fred the Plover appear out of nowhere, crash into something, and spontaneously combust every time someone mentions his name or barbecue sauce?

4. Is skinning a feline Sue while they're still alive a breach of the 'no torture' rule, or is it okay?

5. Is RC #423ab taken, or can I claim it?

6. Can I cover the door to the RC with bizarre signs?

7. Are winged cats acceptable pets?

8. What do you think would happen if a Greek hero fought a balrog?

and, finally,

9. Why are Chinese restaurants never open for breakfast?

If anyone can provide answers to any of these, I will be very happy and give you invisible cookies.

Did you what?

And no, we don't appreciate you lot chopping and changing missions and fiddling with our filing systems.

*sigh* And the Clover's no help at all. He just says that as long as the work gets done we have to come up with the money for it. I swear you people are out to get me sometimes...

but what's his TARDIS?

Let us continue.

Did I just create a mini Batman?

That is absolutely terrifying. I fear for the canon.
