Yes, I did mean SMF.

Quack.

I was just recounting a way I've mispronounced it.

Quack

Snowy's close to correct, but I've been under the assumption that it was "Hween-ay-sore-on".

(hS is going to come back to the Board tomorrow and laugh at us, I can already tell. XD)

So...

1. Iximaz! It's Ix-ih-maz, with the last bit pronounced like razz berry. ;)

2. Um... tall for a girl, short for a guy, underweight, brown hair (currently blond on the top but I'm growing it out), high cheekbones, and the very Sueish green-with-a-gold-ring-around-the-pupils eyes. Lots of piercings and geeky tattoos. I also have two very large pink scars across my now-flat chest. :)

Denim coat, black T-shirt, jeans, and black Converse every day. Sometimes I add a maroon zip-up hoodie if it's cold outside. I am not very varied in my clothing.

3. Quack.

Has the pronunciation of names been a difficulty for so long?
Because that's a long time (A previous thread tells me he's been here for 15 years, wow.)

Well, if you wish to know; brown/dirty blond hair, brown eyes, glasses, mildly tan, mid height. Whatever's one hand is what I wear.

And I suppose your the resident meme maestro?

1.It’s pronounced exactly as you’d expect.

2. Nothing like you’d expect a Snowblaze to look! Teenage girl, thick brown hair, taller than average for my age. Usually wears some shade of blue or purple. Or, if that’s too boring, make it up!

3. Maths jokes and obscure Middle-earth references are two things I’m a fan of, if it helps.

1. My username isn't pronounced weirdly, so I'll say this instead: if it's too clunky "Moons" tends to be the easiest part to make nicknames out of.
   2. Teenage girl. Average height, very skinny, pale-ish. Shoulderblade-length wavy (and usually pretty messy) copper hair. Bangs. Green eyes, glasses. I have a sharpie tattoo on the inside of my left wrist (a semicolon with the name TAYA written under it) and make an active effort to never cover it unless it's cold enough to be wearing gloves. I usually wear a chaplet of blue glass beads with a Celtic knot pendant at the back, and a short beaded strand finished with a wings pendant hanging from that. I like shawls and wear them even in the summer.
   3. Whenever someone uses "god" as part of an exclamation, I'm more likely than not to respond with "yeah, but which god?" I'm very picky about music and get kind of defensive about my tastes in it. My mental health is a train wreck and I make no secret of that fact.

God, this has plagued so many people and I've never really bothered to establish this.
1. Max eh well. Not an emphasized eh, like the stereotypical Canadian Eh, but sort of like the 'u' in ugh.
2. Tall. Can't remember my exact height right now, but 6 ft plus. Currently sporting bleached blond hair, with lack roots. Blue eyes. Paler than Dracula skin. (I should probably go outside more.)
3. "pm me for nsfw memes"

But every time I try I get it wrong in increasingly ridiculous ways. I think my last attempt came out as something like "Hew-sar-een-ian". I just refer to him as hS if I can.

1. My username is pronounced "Albin", naturally.
2. I'm blonde and white and short and female and wear almost exclusively black clothing.
3. I don't exactly know which parts of myself are meme-worthy. I once bought a life-sized cardboard cutout of Anakin Skywalker because someone told me I wasn't allowed to like him as a character? It was pretty glorious. She said that and then a few minutes later I just texted her a picture of my order confirmation with no further explanation.

Nobody tells me what I'm allowed to like.

As for me...

1. It's just the letters! ;)
2. 5'3'', dark brown hair&eyes, medium build. Nothing particularly notable (except maybe my forehead? Also I'm Autistic, and while I'd hardly believe any stereotypes stemming from that, I definitely get a different 'feel' about myself from looking at photos than what I get looking at photos of neurotypical people.
3. ???? My wit has only sharpened in the time I've known this board. "All your memes are belong to me" maybe?

So... how do I?

Yeah, this is a thread that has to do with three things:

1. If you're one of those oldbies who has a username that's more like a name (Huinesoron, Neshomeh, etc.), how do I pronounce your username?
2. Give me a physical description of yourself.
3. Anything else I might find useful in the purpose of making more PPC memes.

Might also serve the purpose of introducing people to each other and stuff, so that's a good thing.

Thanks!

Well, I guess I shouldn't be worried about the number of agent ideas I have, since you have at least 15 characters. Here's to another year of your guidance on the Board!

-Twistey

I'm Twistey, and I do believe I'm the Board's resident wild card. Here, have a Very Flat Flamethrower. Welcome aBoard!

-Twistey

Whenever I hear about communal property in hunter-gatherer societies, I think about, say, skinning a deer, then getting up partway through to pee, leaving the one good flint knife behind, and then coming back to see that the clan jerk's walked off with it.

...and I'd like to say that I got some pretty good revenge on ol' JayBird right here! Yep, that's right! I finished it!

NightmareTwisteyTheDemonFoxAnimatronic and twistedwindowpane are proud to present...
The New Recruit: Full Version!

Warning: Some scenes may be a little dubious to view at work. Also a bit of censored language.

(I promise you, this badfic sure gets good. Happy reading! -Twistey)

Yeah, I'm sorry to say that I won't be writing any more for the Badfic Games, as I'd like to learn how to write goodfic, but I'm still going to keep this around. Have a fantastic day!

-Nightmare

hS, you might remember Voldemort from the 2014 Gathering?

One of my flatmates and I went to the British Museum today and I made it my goal to find He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Well... I did.



*grins*

They discuss Rosseau, and are very diligent about explaining that they aren't claiming anything of the sort. Egalitarian here means that sharing is mandatory and nobody is allowed a big head, on pain of punishment and exile from the group. Again, it isn't about one way being better or more right or good than any other. Just the opposite: one way is NOT more right or good or better, and certainly not more natural. Nature, including human nature, is freaky.

~Neshomeh

Have a cupcake!

Something certainly did go wrong.

"Lord of the Rings" and "colouring book" in the same sentence is something I never expected to see. I definitely like that idea!

Best of luck to the agents in sorting out the RC. Interesting story!

We don't murder newbies, although the oldbies might turn you into a five-year-old if you try to rebel against them. I found that out the hard way *sulks*

Also, maths textbook? What maths are you studying?

Very funny! I could pretty much tell from the lead-up that something was going to happen, but I wasn't expecting it to be so dramatic. I had forgotten Aiden had firebender heritage! I like Aiden's characterization in general, very realistically "little kid"-esque. But his reactions to discovering fire and playing around with it to experiment were superb. I like how Fellrazer goes from seeing Aiden as a source of cuddles to an actual playmate after the firebending begins, too.

I loved Gall's reaction, too. She's so used to brute-forcing her way through problems, but here, she met a situation that couldn't be solved through punching, and I could read in her dialogue and behavior how exhausting the situation became for her.

Too bad Aiden didn't get to see Dumbo, though. He would have liked the scene at the end. With all the fire.

—doctorlit, worrying about the books in RC 555 now

I'm up for anything in London.

I'm sure you will eventually assimilate, just have faith in yourself.
Might require some head bashing, but you'll get there.

I'm a bit of a teaboo anglophile British loving nerd who tries way too hard, so I don't really have any issues with people finding any pronunciations odd... but trying to use the local slang has been getting me some weird side-eyes.

So if I go to sit down at a restaurant and ask for chips, the waitress will give me a side-eye and say "You know we call them crisps here, right? And we don't have those on the menu." It's like, yes I know I'm trying to assimilate to the culture here, thank you.

Thank you very much, I enjoy spaghetti.
I've gone through the Constitution, which is stuff I believe I can easily follow, and the Wiki will be my current bible alongside the maths textbook.

Do you get into arguments over the pronunciation of words? Since me and a British friend have banded together against the Australian way. Even when it makes up 80% of my current accent, compared to 40% 4 years ago.

I worry that only Snowblaze is the only one specifically not planning to kill me :)

Yeah, so this was incredible. I think it's the most outright fun PPC story I've read. (aka, the most fun ever.) It really shows off the history that you've contributed to the setting after all these years.

The stories that especially stuck with me were:

Sprout Headquarters. Specifically the fact that the HQ-raised kids were so unfamiliar with dogs that they thought of them like we think of dragons or faeries. It made me laugh out loud as I read it on my cell phone—fortunately, the zoo was already closed at that point, so no people heard me, and the animals already know me don't judge. It's hard to think of the mindsets of characters in HQ, so this was a clever and funny detail about the kids brought up in the Nursery.

Musee des Univers Perdus. I love the idea of the Librarian and the Musee team working together. Maybe more someday? I also liked seeing how quickly Lorelei jumps to Dr. Cornelius's "rescue," despite his generally thoughtless attitude towards her.

Jared's RC. Just for the sudden, out-of-tone creepiness of Ether's future-knowing. I love not only the awkwardness this gives Jared, but also how easily the children roll right past it.

Minecraft Word World. A glorious Mexican standoff, to be sure, but I'm also legitimately touched we're bringing Peter back home and getting him some help.

The Fountain of Bleepka. Oh, you beautiful man, you. I thought the gag was that they would never appear on screen together, but they have, and it's beautiful, everything I could have dreamed of, and it makes me so, so happy to hear Rosalind and Aella going head-to-head with each other. I want this war to continue.

Elsewhere. I know the Ghost's interest in future timelines was already pretty clear, but it's cool to see how careful it is about the details of the future. It also makes sense with how wonky HQ time is; with so many characters popping in from the future, why not use the known data about their timelines to try to bring about the most stable future possible.

I never really gave much thought to Talk like a Pirate Day, but knowing it's one of your earliest PPC memories makes this story especially cool.

Also, just for the record, I am very much looking forward to more of the Ispace Wars, and all the other unpublished stories you've hinted at!

—doctorlit is looking forward to reading the sequel in hS's year 30
