The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

Hello all,

As I introduced myself a while ago, I'm a returning member of the PPC after a long wandering journey through the internet. Anyway, since it seems it has grown considerably since I've been gone, can anyone direct me to a general list of canon and what not? What stories should I read, and where should I start (I already read the original series, along with a few other early spin-offs, way back in the day). I also know there is a wiki, though I have not thoroughly combed it.

Thanks in advance

There was once a time where Kenny died and stayed dead for most of a season. There was something about him possessing Cartman for a while. I think in the end he just comes back like normal, and they say he was just off-camera for most of the time/

Why did this book remind you of the PPC? I don't think I see the connection.

...asked my mom about it. Apparently it's also a made-for-TV-miniseries. And is very dramatic. *shrug*

So I was doing a search for fifties advertisements, and I came across a book cover. This isn't the exact one, but the one sported by Wikipedia:



And of course I thought of the PPC. I may have to read this book someday, just on principle. Does anyone else know about it?

According to the wiki page, the discipline is either a reprimand (if used on a Sue) or outright expulsion (if used on another agent, and I assume it's the case if you're a multiple offender, too).

I can't promise I'll write anything, or even ask for Permission this year, but I'll try to find time to reread TOS. And I support with great delight those unconnected, old-style missions!

Duly noted, mon capitaine!

And I do rather agree with you, on #1 particularly; torture shouldn't be used in writing unless it's to prove a social/political point (although since that's not even the point of the PPC, this bit is irrelevant), or, as you mentioned, like Jay's sockpuppets.

And one no-strings-attached-yet-hopefully-entertaining mission coming right up. ;)

I probably fouled up at least a few of these points, though thanks for the message. I didn't mean to offend, if I have. And yeah, I know this isn't directed at me, but I do feel like I'm at least a little at fault (especially when I accidentally started that "attack the Factory" discussion), so I thought I'd say something. Never know if you've pissed someone off when you're only talking to them through a computer, heh. The only challenge of yours I can actually do at the moment is rereading the Original Series, but I'll go do that. Very well said post.

You may have heard on the news that there was this absurd blizzard overnight; we had 10cm of snow - too bad it was a Saturday. :p I played child with my family and we made a snowman almost as tall as I am.

'fraid there's not enough this time, though. At it's thickest (2am, by the way), there was only about a half centimeter, and it all melted at touch. :(

That internal editor is hard to shut up.

... is capable of pronouncing "nuclear" correctly.

For a while I started to wonder whether there was something wrong with the missions I wrote because none of them are part of any major plot arcs (most of them can even be read in random order; that's how unconnected to a plot arc they are).

That said. I'd like to excuse myself from Challenge Two. At least until December. It's NaNo and I've just plugged two missions on the board less than a week ago.

It was supposed to be a reply to Huinesoron's post. Farewell this time! I'm still going to watch from afar, though.

This is the last piece of Melodrama you'll get from me for a while. Farewell, and no hard feelings!

I didn't realize it was less than 24 hours! Besides, I tought that If you were outraged at my presumption (which I now see you were), you would have said it to my face in the time inbetween, instead of just leaving me ignorant of my crimes. I wanted to at least know about my percieved failings on the Board and my LJ, and now that I have knowledge of them; I can sleep easy. Thank you, and forgive my grammatical errors and my melodrama. I just coudn't resist.

Now to pick a bit in the edges. The Cult did have some effort in taking over the building. I was saving an explanation for the next chapter. Picking done!

True, I wasn't thinking when I started this thread. My pride had overtaken my good sense in the great mental footrace, and I freely admit that some of the things you said are true. I may grow out of this, or just move to the other extreme. Time will tell. Anyway, as the losing party, I'm going to withraw into a safe place, and rethink my tactics. I will return chastened from this matter, but mark my words: This isn't over, not by a long shot.

PS: Sorry if my last sentence was too confrontational! Yes, I have scrapped the new department plan.

ANOTHER PS: The first meeting of the [[http://wikimaster.livejournal.com/2194.html WikiMaster Permission and Self-Punishment Comitee]] begins now.

All I can say is to point out that global climate change is NOT going to end in a worldwide Mediterranean climate :P

and to make a snowman for me, pretty please? Last time I had enough snow to make one, I was four.

Thing is, snow in November is a northern thing. It's supposed to be well on its way to summertime now - and yes, I know I'm further south than you, but snow flurries this late are... not common. I won't say "rare", as I haven't been here long enough, but still.

And anyway, people don't generally appreciate the cold nearly enough. I like to stand out in the rain and take my walks whenever the snow STARTS.

*goes off to read TOS*

...that up next for me is an interlude introducing my newest recruit and then said recruit's first mission.

Really, the best thing about the PPC is the humor. Drama is all well and good, but the bizarre humor is what makes the PPC what it is.

Anime is a type of cartoon, after all.

This has actually given me an idea; S&S being assigned to prevent L&F from sneaking Bleeproducts after the Drip Rat incident, agreeing to refrain from using them themselves for their upcoming co-mission ... and said mission is the one where they end up getting genderbent for reasons too bizarre to explain here. Yay.

Certainly, since you've been warned, it's your own fault if you indulge, but if you go around pinning blame that's your deal.

But, thinking about it today, Milliways was the immediate cause of my introduction to three canons: Girl Genius, Discworld, and Good Omens. So I consider it well worthwhile, and once I get my own computer (currently I mooch my brother's) and a schedule that gives me substantial chunks of free time I'm going right back in.
