TaWISTeY is Tantalum-Tungsten-Iodine-Sulfur-Tellurium-Yttrium.

Straight away, I can tell you that Yttrium compounds cause lung disease, and that it will probably bond with either iodine or sulfur. Tantalum and Tellurium form quasicrystal structures - a worrying concept which is sort of like the equivalent of pi in symmetry: they are ordered, structured, but not in a repeating pattern. Tungsten, of course, is there to add weight, but will also happily bond with the Iodine if Yttrium doesn't want it. It's probably going to be toxic.

But! At least you're not radioactive or likely to blow up. ^_^

I don't personally have time to get involved in it right now, but if some other people are interested, go for it!

But are you starting so that black goes first? If so, Pawn to E-4.

Specifically, a science.

I was gonna say something but I didn't have time.

That should be a meme. You are so right.

First of all, I've noticed that RPs here, excluding the Purim one, kinda happen spontaneously. If you look at the Wiki pages for the Blackout and similar things, you'll notice that they started from RPs and sorta just happened. To do this, you kinda need to have a good feel for how the Board works, what's the right time to post something new, etc. Since this is only your third post, I suggest you sit back and relax, and see what the Board has to offer already before you start something major of your own.

Second, how would Sue Simulator fit into the existing plot of the PPC? Again, one has to have a good idea of the PPC universe to pull RPs like this (that include the PPC universe and not just the Boarders) off. The idea of a machine making Sues really sounds like the already-existing idea of Mary Sue Factories, but it looks like you don't know that. So I suggest that while you sit back and relax, you also read up, at the very least on the Wiki, so that you may get a feel for what everything is here.

But do not despair! Eventually, whether it's an RP in later years, a new addition to the PPC video game family, or a campaign in my planned addition to said video games, you'll find a use for this idea. Don't worry, I know how you feel. I too was an enthusiastic newbie who tried to contribute before I knew enough to successfully contribute. You just gotta walk before you run. Okay, Jellyity? Okay. :)

TL;DR: One word. Wait.

Um. ... can you drop me an email about that? I think you have my address, and it's probably easier than me waffling all over the Board. (Feel free to loop Calliope in too.)

Calliope and I have been bouncing ideas off of each other for a Library series. Could we borrow the Librarian and their shelves to tell some more in-HQ stories?

We're planning on giving them some Assistant Librarians, who will handle things like chasing down overdue books, reshelving, and acquiring new stock. Of course, the mysterious nature of the Librarian themself, and the shadowy Front Room, will be cherished and kept Canon!

While I don't have an account there, I may make one just for this.

(Either to start it or just participate, if there's enough interest.)

Fascinating.

The threads thing is due to the fact that the Board's memory is limited. Remember the fairly recent post about how the archives have been updated? Well, those archives exist because every new post knocks am old one off the back, so to speak. The Board's memory generally goes back about...a year and a half or so, I think?

Which is not at all to say you shouldn't make new posts! Just try not to make a new one where a reply update to an existing thread on the front page could serve, and generally try not to make, say, three or four or five new posts in quick succession unless they're all very different and so on.

And, of course, it also just makes it easier to view and interact with topics if they're all or mostly in the same thread! It's much simpler to look at and answer a series of PPC universe questions that are in one thread than it is to answer them spread out over many!

Not that we're very, seriously, extremely annoyed if you make a couple multiple posts at first--I'm pretty sure the majority of us have been there. We're mainly just explaining and asking that you learn for the future, since that's how the Board works! :)

The T-Board is generally where we send RPs, and other things.

...that Uranium Lithiide would be a fun combination. Albeit not as fun as anything with Astatine!

Honestly, right now I don't have time, but this is just a note...

You already made a thread about this really recently, so next time, continue the thread that's already there rather than making a new one? We don't like to make new threads unless they're needed. Just kind of a general ettiquette thing around here.

About Sue Simulator:

It will not be a mindless combat simulator. Sue Simulator will have various side quests, stories, and there is a lot of plot. I am going to try my best to make it fun and interesting. Does anybody want to play?

6-15-16 is Carbon-Phosphorus-Sulfur, which would be some sort of organithiophosphate. You could be an insecticide!

Or 61-51-6, which is Promethium-Antimony-Carbon. That's, er... well, promethium is radioactive, and antimony I'm pretty sure is toxic. So maybe stick with the first option, yeah? ^_^

Pronounced 'delta-J-you-li-ERRRRRRRT'. (As my wife keeps pointing out, English accents tend to drop Rs everywhere anyway.)

Erbium is a lanthanide, but not a notably horrible one. Tellurium is a mildly toxic pseudo-oxygen... I mean, you've got Uranium, which is the usual bad news, but after that the worst thing is Lithium, which might burn a bit.

Compared to Nesh's version, which has Astatine at its core, and has blown up before I even finished the sentence. ^_^

Unclaimed in particular looks much nicer now :)

Don't Rest Your Head could probably be modified into that. It was already modified into Don't Zap To The Extreme, and that's a similar concept with similar inspiration.

is a game where we play minor canon characters, fighting Suefluence. (Fics like Suedom, and the concept of the Badfic Games, appeal to me. I suppose this would be a tonal mix of the two.)

Can we last long enough through the fic for the PPC Agents to show up and slay the Sue? Do we have enough resistance to Suefluence to help our main character friends fight off the Sue, or do we just lay low and be glad it's not happening to us? Or is our fate to just Be Happy with whatever this Wonderful New Character! desires for us~?

No need for stats, just roleplay. ;)
