are unethical too. Working practices etc for a start.

This. Is. All. Done. FOr. The. Laughs. If a slave-run Death Star could conceivably be done in a comic manner then it could conceivably be used. We're here to write entertaining stories, after all.

It's unfair - after all, they're only mindless creations of their Authors. Why should they suffer just because Canon is being threatened.

Oh! *gasp* That means we have to shut down the Bad Slash Department, too! If we breakup slash couples, we're being homophobic!

Calm down, okay? The PPC is about fun, and silliness, not high-handed morals. Nothing here is real

Like I said, we're all sheep.

1. To the best of my knowledge, hS has never claimed to own the PPC.

2. It is possible, however unlikely, that others might find hS's work the "Holy Grail of PPCing" and like his plots. You're both entitled to your opinion. If they feel like "sucking up", why not? It's not like there's an official leader to hand out perks for it.

I'll cancel your half of the order for small Filipino children to cook our tea, wash our dishes and run our baths then, shall I?

As my mother used to say, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. We're not here to bitch about the way some members treat other members.

The PPC is built on plotholes, after all. ANYTHING is possible. :D

It takes much to freak me out, sorry to disappoint you. In return I give you a handshake and a restraining order.

Thanks for the yarn. I can finally finish my sweater of DOOM with this.

I thought we replaced them with the DIA.

hS has given an awful lot of time and consideration to the PPC. He's been here a very long time. Whether or not you personally like him is beside the point. His story is well crafted and fits with the tenets of the PPC as laid down by Jay and Acacia.

And calling the rest of the Board 'suckups' for acknowledging his hard work and his long-term presence as an oldbie and moderator/PG is, if you'll excuse me, rather silly, given as you point out, those people who admire him and his work are in the majority. Calling anyone a suckup is rude, also, and we're not at home to rudeness.

Please play nice, KG. Shouting people down for continuing debates? Starting doom and gloom threads? We're here for fun.

I acknowledge that you probably think that others are shouting YOU down for continuing debates, but the difference is in how you're going about it. You're being rude and abrupt. Please, try and have some fun. Relax. Not everyone is out to get you.

I'm not a PG or any kind of authority figure, so if anyone wants to take issue with this, please feel free. But I think I speak for a fair number of us when I ask you to please take a chill pill and try and have some fun with the rest of us, rather than taking everything so seriously.

No offense intended, I just don't think his writing is the Holy Grail of PPCing people make it out to be. Also, even if there's nothing to suck up for, people still suck up to him. Something's instantly gold if his name is as much as vaguely attached to it, and honestly I get the feeling that if pretty much any other PPCer suggested anything for the overall "plot" (if there is one), they'd be shouted down for not being him. But that could just be a vibe I get. I just don't like when people suck up to other people, especially when one person is elevated to be some kind of supreme ruler when everyone's input is supposedly of the same value. The only people who "own" the PPC are Jay and Acacia, wherever they are now, and even hS had to ask really nicely to be allowed to write in their setting. :P

If they'd had a little more imagination/less interference...

Can you say battle droid army with Out of Canon weapons?

Really? Bugger. Guess I was elsewhere when they were handing out the morals then.

And hS has contributed a lot of stuff that we all like. He's put in a lot of effort, and that's worthy of respect. I don't suck up to him - I barely know him - but I'm in awe of the amount of high-quality work he's produced. I barely have time to write one mission every few months. That's worth respect.

It is. But we're all sheep, and we'll follow a leader if one emerges. If you don't like it...write your own fics. That's more or less what goes on, in any event. If it is one person's "pet project", it's because enough people like the idea.

Crossing the line? The line between a fun debate and a mud-slinging contest?

And then that someone kills everyone else around for resources, and nobody has any education or anything, and we're back at square one.

There was an uncanonical planet, so we dealt with it, that's all. Transported it to the Doranda system during Trinity.

But then, there's also the Department of Internal Security. They're scary.

Slavery is unethical, and we're not allowed to use canons to do our dirty work.

Says who?

Anyway, slaves don't have to be unethical. We could get 'em from Ephebe.

For many reasons, not the least of which is that he's extremely reasonable. If ever he would be UNreasonable, we'd argue. But he hasn't been.

Besides, how can we be suckups if there's nothing to suck up FOR? The only thing left for most of us to 'acquire' that we don't already have is PG permission, and frankly, I don't want it.

As opposed to just one person's pet project, even TOS was written by two people. As long as things don't actively contradict TOS, it's supposedly a setting pretty much everyone's allowed to write for. Don't know what line you're referring to, though.

If you don't like arguing about random things, don't.

Sun Crushers take out star systems. Death Stars are slightly more precise.

How is the infinite space idea illogical? The PPC more or less has chunks from every ficverse, making for a lot of space.

And the point is, it just shouldn't be done.
