The dedicated reporter on the trail of The Truth, who means wells but ends up creating a bunch of problems for the protagonists and quite possibly getting into lots of trouble herself? May or may not have a mysterious personal reason for getting involved and blame the protagonist for something the bad guys did years ago.

(I don't know a ton about noir, but this is a fun thread to read. ^_^ )

Moonshining families and quiet femme fatale's are a terrific addition to this noir world!

The quiet sister of a mean moonshining family, until you realize that there's a stiletto strapped to her shin and a handgun in her jewelry box and she's the brains behind the whole show.

I'm bad at this. :-P

... you make a seperate thread to keep things from getting messy.
Also, nthed on a last warning with possible consequences being neccessary.

A last warning sounds perfectly fine to me. I'd also add their violations of article 16 by swearing to the list of grievances.

Dang it.

My problem, and the problem of others in the community (including the people who have commented on this post) is that Minh has brought up this topic with varying levels of anger many, many, many times in the past before. So many times that they have repeatedly been asked to stop, only to start another Discovery discussion afterwards. It is starting to become an issue.
I myself am starting to get rather ticked off at the Discovery Crusades for personal reasons, so I will refrain from commenting any more in this thread. I don't want to escalate this into an argument, or to say anything hurtful. I just wanted you to know what was going on.

Haven't I seen a post like this in the past? Like, I've only been here for, like, half a month and I'm pretty sure there's been a Discovery talk before.

With the addendum that if this happens again, Minh takes a break from the PPC to find a different community to rant to.

Their constant railing against Discovery has been detrimental to the community as a whole, but I'm willing to give them one more chance to prove they understand why this is unacceptable behavior here.

I for one am sick of these posts with the same topic appearing again and again and again, after all the discussions and requests to stop.

This is not the place to hold wankfests - particularly if they sound (strictly for example) misogynistic, or like Nazis.

(The latter example is not relevant in this case, I should hope.)

But...

Can I make a movement here that Crazy Minh has repeatedly broken Article 11 of the PPC Constitution alongside breaking other Articles of the PPC Constitution in the past (the ones coming to mind are Article 2 and Article 3, along with a questionable breaking of Article 21 as the only discussion their posts generally seem to inspire are asks and pleas for them to stop). Given these cases and in line with Article 12 of the PPC Constitution may I make a suggestion that we as the PPC Community look into a potential partial ban for Crazy Minh so that they can healthily work out their problems as indicated in this and other posts away from the PPC Community (for example in the creation of a tumblr or other blog account). With the caveat that upon their return they will not devolve back to this kind of posting.

I personally have grown tired of seeing these posts appear with a semi-regular frequency and believe that with this being the (to my count) 5th individual time that this has happened within 6 months, something (even if it's just a formal warning) needs to happen, as this is not (in my opinion) healthy for the community).

Given that this is just to discuss action being taken I did not put this in a separate post but instead linked it to the post that has spawned this feeling for action with me. If this is meant to be made as a separate post then I am happy to do so.

Novastorme.

I think this sort of characterization would work great with a femme fatale type. And we're getting a great team of noir ladies here.

It's a great character concept, Moons - I like the melancholy edge. And the gay. Gay noir characters are always great.

How about working on a police surveillance team then? That should fit into the setting.

That is, the villain who will work with the mob boss if their schemes suit her interests, but if she doesn’t like them will just as happily help the protagonist to thwart them. I could also be a bit of a femme fatale (never mind how much this is warping my character!).

I'd be the enigmatic, melancholy, alluring singer who has to show up in every noir pub. Except gay, and when I'm not singing I'm waxing poetic about depressing things. I probably know something important about the case, but good luck getting me to stay on topic long enough to tell anyone. Will befriend anyone who shows genuine affection - admiration for my singing doesn't count and lust certainly doesn't count, I've gotten enough of those already. This could get me on the heroes' side, or it could lure me to the villains.

I'll take the role of the quirky technical specialist. Y'know. Tapping telephones and stuff.

That totally fits the time period.

Silly me.

I hadn't yet read this post. Sorry for the oversight! My bad!

He's suffered so much that he's starting to think that it's gotta be supernatural, when really? It's just us. Us humans. Every time...

...but does it have to be?
