An Inquiry of Critical Relevance

If UPN was a real-life location, what would it's initials stand for? The United Provinces of [SomeWordBeginningWithN]? The University of Private Nauticalness? Yupehn? I have no idea in hell, which is why I'm asking you!

Doesn't matter, it'll just go unfinished like his hacks.

Thirding it.

Kin, if you're making a UPN dating sim just make the general thread already :/

As long as there is a theme park/cafe dedicated in my honor, I don't care.

Remember, even though BlazexKin is canon, you should put me down as one of the routes. Please don't put me in any weird positions :p

I wouldn't mind being a route. I mean, I already have two good and two bad endings planned if I get one.

Also, remember that Marshmallow x Whimsy is practically canon as well.

Yupien has a nice ring to it...

Considering this is borderline spam, why'd you decide to post it in the UPN metaforum instead of in a relevant thread or in the TO? >>;

I'm assuming you are directing that to me. I previously posted about how Kin should totally dedicate something to me(a Café was a suggestion) and my new nickname is Marshmallow because of recent events including me swallowing several flaming marshmallows. So it isn't really spam. Simply a suggestion. But I can see how someone that didn't know the above information might see it as spam.

I'm fairly certain that was directed at me, actually.

And I hardly think that this is spam. While it's true that I have ulterior motives, the primary purpose of this thread was to discover how people thought of UPN. The noun assigned to a place has a lot of significance, and in this instance I think we've learned something- Of the people who've posted so far, most transliterate the name of UPN into a real name, which is interesting, as it would imply that they think of UPN as some sort of land like one you might find in a fantasy novel, rather than some kind of firm institution or otherwise.

Well yours was also spammy, but mostly I was directing my inquiry at this thread in general. It screams TO.

See my previous post.

I actually put a lot of thought into where this would go, and decided in the end that the thread I most wanted it to resemble was the UPN Day threads, where people shared stories about why UPN is important to them and how they've come to feel about it. I would really like people to do that, as UPN has become critically important to me over the years and I want to learn more about our community.

Whether this is sincere or not, I don't think the thread achieves such an objective. The reason being, most people are going to make up answers on the spot to your question. And why is that? Because no one here actively thinks of UPN as a nation in the real world, that's why. Your question, right from the get go, is asking us to imagine something that UPN is not and to then conjure up a response. That's ... fine and all, I guess, but I don't really see how it helps you to "learn more about our community." What do you really glean from learning that some people believe UPN would stand for the United Protectorates of Narnia, others the Union of Pokémon Nations, others still the Ultimecian Progenitory Nabal, and finally some people who can't answer the question and give you Yupien? (Spoiler: there's no way a three-letter acronym beginning with the letter U can become a one word name beginning with the letter Y!)

A lot of thought? Really? ^_^; Anyway, I can certainly see how the argument can be made that "threads about UPN go here, in the forum that's meant to pool threads about UPN!", but I dunno, I can also see Amras's point that this thread feels like spammy spillover from the PASBL TO. It's almost as though you guys were chatting about this very topic there, then either a) got silenced by some of the others or else b) got talked over, your posts quickly lost to the sands of time, and so you sought refuge here, in the slow-as-molasses UPNetwork forum, and decided to carry on your TO chitchat in this thread. But chitchat or no chitchat, is it topical for this forum? Suuuuuuuuuuuuuure, I gueeeeeeeeeeess. But ... I dunno, I kinda wonder if "a lot" of thought really went into this thread or not. ^_^; Feels more like something you just posted on a whim but are now trying to defend as very thought out because Amras is accusing it of being spam.

I'm used to not being taken seriously when I'm serious and being taken seriously when I'm not. Whatever.

The main reason this isn't in a TO is because this has nothing to do with the PASBL or with FB, it's about UPN.

I'd like to add that this thread goes nowhere. It reads like a poll, not a discussion; the question is too direct, and there's no leisurely story behind it. You just sort of asked the question.

"What instrument do you play?"

vs.

"I play the drums. I enjoy [drums] and so far it has been difficult to [drums] but I'm getting the hang of [drums]. What kinds of instruments do you play? How good would you say you are? [questions] [drums]"

That's a good point. Duly noted, and I'll implement your suggested fix just as soon as I'm not half-dead. (@)____(@)
