...it's when somebody starts the PPC Interpretive Dance Group that I'll get worried.
It's strange, I thought we'd be swamped with violins - and yet Murtagh is the first. Titus is welcome too.

Agent Trojie would like to volunteer her skills on the guitar. She can play acoustic or electric.
Boarder!Trojie can also play the bagpipes, if that's any use...

My spider is at this very moment sucking up the whole PPC wiki. It collects it as the generated HTML pages, of course, not the underlying data, but in the event that July's export or later import fails, at least we'll have the content -- though we might need a fair bit of cutting and pasting to get some of it back where it belongs.
I wish I could do more, but I can't think of anything else I can do without blowing my anonymity. Given that my hobby is whacking spoiled fanbrats with a clue-by-four, I'd rather make it as hard as possible for them to retaliate with anything more than angry words.

Murtagh plays violin, as any good detective does. Titus sings bass/baritone, and can play the cymbals.

I promise you, you were not distracting me in the least bit.
Doing what I had to do to prep it for exporting was boring enough that I needed that to keep my brain going.

Neshomeh linked me to the PPC Christmas songbook which I haven't stumbled across before, and there was mention of an All-HQ Choir. That saves us the trouble of creating a new one, we just have to resurrect this one.

Lunac can go on the conductor roster - apart from the stress of conducting a group of rowdy agents, it's hard to turn up at the same time each week, what with missions and all. Recorder and flute go under woodwind, and percussion is always fun.

Added you to gtalk (I'm Techno.Dann(at)gmail). I'm about five hours ahead of you, so early in your evening (and late in mine) would probably work best for real-time chatting.

The Picso may have got caught up during the tumultuous events of The Reorganisation and sundry, and thought that a change of name was in order. But I suppose we'll never know for sure.
Hey, there is a PPC choir! (A couple of people have volunteered agents for singing and I was going to form that as well. Now we can resurrect it!)
Both your agents are welcome - the Picso, despite its name, can play just about anything if they have the right instruments. I think there have been a couple of guitar concertos in history, anyway.
If breathing is an issue for Ilraen, I'd point him towards strings or percussion. And maybe Nume's better off in the choir.

Smash things together to make noises - and the best thing is that you won't get in trouble for it! (Except if it's out of time. Then you're stuck.)
In a way, I'm almost glad that there are some non-musical agents in the PPC, because otherwise there aren't going to be any audiences when they play. :D

I've spent the last few hours working at it, and I have all of the articles exported and ready for another wiki once the request for the wikia one goes through.
However, I can't do anything about the User pages or talk pages.
User pages because Wikia accounts go for all of wikia, not just one wiki (So can't do that), and talk pages would take far more time than I have right now.
What I have exported though are the articles, templates, and categories, so there won't be too much rewriting going on. Images will need to be reuploaded, though once we get to that.
Hopefully the wikia request will go through, but after that everyone is going to need to change links.
Sorry for all of that, really stupid of me. I considered going to Wikia in the first place for the wiki but decided against since I didn't think this would happen with WikiLot.

Kudos for having so many musically-inclined agents!
"Bleeprin" definitely fits - you could almost adapt it to a stage musical. I wonder if anyone's tried to adapt the Sue Invasion or the Macrovirus Emergency into a musical? We can do the music for that too.

(Not for anything bad, it's just that I've never played in an orchestra with a recorder. But it still fits under woodwind.) A lot of agents are going to be absolute beginners with their instruments (especially the press-ganged ones) so there'll be some leeway. The Picso is about teaching agents to play as much as actually doing performances.
Xylophone and drums are fine - harp is so quiet in orchestras that you can't hear it half the time anyway, so I think we should be safe. We'll put harps next to the gong and its special spork-shaped mallet just in case.

Ooh, a cello!
I love cellos! Drinks all 'round!
Piano should be fine as well - I think the official rehearsal room has flexible dimensions depending on how many people are in there.

If the PPC can have an orchestra, why not a choir? by

(That's not my jurisdiction, though. But if it comes to forming a choir as well, El's a second soprano.)
I think just about any agents can take part in the party piece - and percussion means you can hit stuff rhythmically. Who doesn't love percussion?

I wonder how many people have been caught out by the one-day-notice thing?
In any case, because you got the email in time, and because you're transfering files, and because the whole thing was your idea, I think you should get a 'Saviour of the PPC Wiki' badge or something.

So do I- I actually prefer it to Highwayman. (There's a song with similar lyrics, The Wicked Sister, by a singer called Meav, by the way.)
Yep. Tasting is a good activity with rain as well.
