Division of More Dakka's summary of the Crucible of Malediction:

"The Crucible of Malediction is a device shrouded in mystery as no one fully understands how they are made but each one contains the trapped spirits of tortured psykers. These are released onto the battlefield, causing a wave of psychic energy strong enough to harm enemy psykers. Often this drives them insane through psychic chattering."

Therefore, we would rule it a valid Dark-type attack. You might also wish to consider a Nemesis Force weapon, Psyk-Out grenades, or an Animus Speculum.

I usually just say that Bleeprin is brain bleach and removes bad memories. And everyone is like, "Where'd you get that? I want some!"

Yeah, we're wierd.

But I've heard that people have invented a drug in Real Life that can remove memories.

If I'd mentioned bleeprin, I could just explain it's a mixture of mental bleach and aspirin and no one would bat an eye. The people around me are like that...and so am I.

not sure. that's a dark elder device, right? I think it migth work, maybe.

The Board? Really?

I may have to adopt that one. :D

I once tried my hand at growing sunflowers. It was FUN-NEY.

At the San Diego Wild Animal Park, there's this resturant called "Thorntree Terrace". I laugh my arse off every time I visit. Reminds me of Jay.

I constantly talk about the Ironic Overpower, and there's a house near ours called "Acacia", and a road called "Canons Lane". And whenever I see sunflowers, I laugh my arse off. :P

I'll check all of these out - unfortunately, though, my teacher has just told me I can't do it, since I have to look only at the book. I'll definitely read them, though, since I'm looking for decent fanfic anyway. Thanks!

Would a Crucible of Malediction work on Psychic Pokemon? My next Non-Mission work (yes, I have reviewed the PPC policy towards Non-Mission writing, and I have asked if I could write new plot elements into the PPC Canon); which partly takes place in a Dreamscape, really needs this question answered.

Perhaps later...

I told my classmates not to tempt the Ironic Overpower on Friday, when one of them said 'at least Chemistry won't have as much maths in it'. It heard her. Four hours of maths is not funny; two of trigonometry and two of algebra, working out molar weights and concentrations.

If I see a geographical error in something printed, such as a paper, or the TV, I'll invoke DOGA.

And as a matter of fact, I often do say something - not explicitly mentioning the Ironic Overpower by name, but I've been known to say that the best way to make an elevator come is to get comfortable, to cringe when somebody says "At least ___ hasn't happened," and so on.

I also seem to remember mentally calling out for DOGA recently, but I have no idea what for. (Well, presumably a geographical aberration, but I don't know what kind or where.)

...with the wiki transfer and all that.

I remember reading something in a book or a poem...can't remember which...that mentioned acacia trees. Guess what the first thing I thought of was?

Yesterday I forgot a whole bunch of textbooks for a class, and a friend lent me her books saying, "Remember, it could always be worse." I had to resist the urge to bang my head against the nearest wall, and tell her not to tempt the Ironic Overpower. This happens a lot.

A Watcher of Narnia is dead.

I ran into a particularly... er... choice piece of writing on an RP site I frequent.
It burns.
No, it wasn't one of the RPers' writing (I hope); someone posted it for us to stumble upon and despair.
Funny thing is, my first thought was, "Hmm, I wonder who'd be most traumatized by attempting to fix that?"
(For the masochistic among us: Augh.)

More in an RL vein, someone was mentioning things that cannot be unseen yesterday at anime club, and I nearly blurted out "That's what Bleeprin's for."

Haha, I would have gotten so many strange looks...

The MyMiniCity thing that someone set up. Does anyone here still visit that, because the Wiki page for it hadn't been updated since early August.

They're not all brilliant, but I'll just list 'em

Love and Disappointments

- follows P&P; can be a bit dragging and sappy, but more or less in character

Mr Bennet's Quiet Evening
http://www.pemberley.com/derby/katja.mbqe.html
and
Mr Bennet's Favourite Daughter
http://www.pemberley.com/derby/katja.mbfd.html
- Mr Bennet's POV of Darcy's proposal, and following events

In A Different Style
http://www.pemberley.com/derby/leonore.iads.html
- HILLAROUS story told in letter format by multiple people. Not finished, though, and I doubt it ever will be. Still worth reading.

Battle of the Letters
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1243200/1/
- Also letter format; Elizabeth and Darcy correspond while he's away on business. Rather cute and romantic, also VERY funny.

And... let me know if that's good enough. I have more if you really want.

If the author doesn't want fanfic written at all, then it might be tactful not to touch it, but at the same time, can we suffer those badfics to live? It depends on how much you consider the PPC to be fanfiction in the general sense.

You could also take the point of view of HQ as a Real Place; what would the Flowers think? I mean, badfic is badfic, and ruins the canon no matter what the author's opinion. If we WERE actual agents walking around, particularly if we love those stories, I'd say there's more of an incentive to PPC them, not less.

But I doubt anyone reading our missions will see it the same way. Probably more tactful not to PPC it. I don't, however, see much of a problem with having an agent from that continuumn, so long as the Vampire features aren't their main characteristics.

"Doesn't ANYONE know?" she asked. When all she recieved were blank faces (strained, of course, but the wind and noise of passing ypur - there were certainly more than fifty now), she brightened and declared, "Right! He's going to the office of the Sunflower Official!"

"And just how do you expect that to be true?" muttered Nathan.

Floating above, the Ironic Over-Power was taking notes.
