Evil
I wasn't quite serious, but the TOS does state that "we're evil, Miss Cam is evil, this is just stupid", and the PPC can be considered guilty of mass killing from a certain POV. Point taken though, and the article wasn't entirely serious.

Operations vs. Personnel
It looks like you're going back and forth over which department handles agent training. The tradition is that most people don't really get training beyond "Here's a weapon, now go find your RC," but I would think it's something Personnel would handle, if anyone. Operations is more support staff for things outside the Canon Protection Initiative itself. Neshomeh 18:57, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

I was going to ask about that. I got confused since one of my characters is an Agent trainer, albeit one more thorough than usual. Thanks, sorry for being a bother but I was trying to get it straight and got confused. I'll switch everything back to Personnel. KGarrett 04:07, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It's a bit confusing, because Operations does include the Nursery, and presumably the schooling for older PPC kids, too. So by that logic it could include Agent Training. Since Personnel handle the recruitment side of things, they're probably a better bet, though. And anyway, thinking of the Marquis training Agents is far more than the Nightshade... :P Huinesoron 14:54, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I didn't mean to be a bother, I just mixed myself up. Sorry again. I'll modify things accordingly, then drop it. Helps, but I never meant to bother you with it. KGarrett 15:53, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Welcome
''Welcome to the PPC Wiki, Ekyl. Since you have edited the User talk:96.236.37.221 page and created an account here, it seems you intend to stay. To avoid becoming confused and eventually insane, as so often happens, you should make certain you understand what the PPC is and the proper way to sign up before you continue on and encounter the Marquis&mdash;he does not dispense mercy and he is less tolerant of fools than I.''

''If you have not yet introduced yourself to your fellows, or even if you have, you should read the PPC Constitution as well as the Board's FAQ if you have any questions about their behaviors. Any incidents you cause on the PPC Posting Board will not warrant you any assistance from the Tiger Lily and the DIA or Captain Dandy and the DES; please adhere to the aforementioned Constitution, as the results when the Board's inhabitants are irritated do not bode well for anyone. Consider yourself warned. Now, if you will excuse me, I have troublesome agents to attend to.''

Query
Who's in charge 'round here?

KittyEden (talk)

Nobody is. There are Permission Givers and Designated Arbitrators who have authority over the Board and IRC, but there's no one person in charge of the community. That's part of what keeps the PPC a group rather than a hierarchy. The PGs and DAs are more akin to moderators, helping keep order to an extent and introducing new functions and ideas, rather than leaders that everyone has to obey. They need to be respected, yes, but that goes without saying.

Editing notes
Just a couple quick things:


 * 1) I'm not sure it's really helpful to put "source needed" tags on stuff that may have been lost due to site deletions and stuff like that, like the Really Big Monkey Puzzle Tree being the head of the Bad Role-play Department. You might be able to track down mentions of it in character journals or something, but then again, you might not, and if you can't, the tag sits there shouting "this information is dubious!" forever. Also, I've been operating under the assumption that things like who runs what department are common knowledge and don't need to be proven. IIRC, I haven't put sources on that kind of information on any of the department pages I've worked on except when the source is a Board discussion or something obscure like that. Even when the info isn't mentioned in stories, you can find a lot of it in reference docs like the Handbook, the Manual, or Araeph's archival LJ entries.
 * 2) Italics for long works. Quotation marks for short works. Consistency with the type of quotes already on the page. Please. If you're gonna edit as much as you have been, help me out here, will ya? {= /

I thought I'd been on the ball with the italics/quotes, sorry if I've forgotten a few. Fair enough on the source tags - a lot of the time I put those in while I go looking for the info or to remind myself to look at it, but I'll rein myself in with those. Ekyl (talk) 17:21, February 23, 2014 (UTC)
