The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

There are no words for this situation. Really.

I might have to do a bit of research, see if I can turn up any very similar stories. After all, he as good as says that he's been copy-pasting... wonder if permission was asked for this "research." Probably not.

I like how he puts the words 'theft' and 'plagiarism' in quotes.

Also, 'libel' doesn't go plural like that, as far as I know.

...my brain wants to go curl up and die in a corner now.

He is a meglomaniac and loves a challange. This sounds like a good place for him, in that it will be alot of fun.

Oh, favourite pieces of music: anything in 15-16 time and over 100 pages in length. "Hear them squeal" is is his motto.

There's a lowlife on FFN who has been posting plagiarized stories by other people as his own. At least one is from someone I know, who is NOT happy about this. This story is from a story in German on FFN.

His profile is interesting in other ways, too, most notably for the threats he makes against anyone who calls him on his plagiarism. I got a real laugh out of him saying "...I will ensure that you never return to this site again" like he's some kind of FFN authority. If the FFN staff finds out about him (and actually shows more signs of life than the average brick) he'll be banz0red so hard his head will spin.

Very nice! I like seeing Sith with actual personalities, too...though that might just be a side-affect of reading too many Star Wars fics.

Restarted with slightly different spider settings. :-/ Greedy little bugger decided to eat all of gnu.org while it was at it. Sometimes this thing has a very hard time comprehending the idea of limits.

Have fun here!

...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.

Mission #25.

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

It's my Duty to ensure that Something is done about this.

That sucks. Big props to you July, for taking on that extraordinarily crazy task. We owe you big time.

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.

I'm so sorry! I read you wiki post before I even logged into messenger, and then FORGOT. What a fool I am...

Ah, well. My user page is saved as an html doc, not that it matters much.

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'm sure we can press-gangfind someone willing to instruct Ansela on the finer points of bagpipe playing. Or she'll learn as she goes, that generally happens anyway.

Risa's very welcome too, of course. Ryuteki is pretty!
