My Little Pony XVII: Call Upon the Thread Ponies!

[Mystic Muse]

Also, SiuiS. Get back on MSN Sometime.:smalltongue:

[Titanium Fox]

Well, plan out what you want, man! Though I myself won't be the best manner of getting it.

Well I've got a picture of my OC lying around somewhere, but it's not in the style that would compliment the ponytars we've got here. But his color scheme is just so... bland. I 'unno. I've also got a Jade green mare character named Jade... Maybe her. Agh. I thought coming up with this was going to be easy. XD

[Raz_Fox]

Strength... failing... can't... stay awake...

So many things I wanted to say... so little memory of what those things actually were... all of those little witticisms will be lost, like tears in the rain... time to post.

Djinni Shenanigans:

I just presumed that, during TaleSpinner's descent, he said all of that and then landed on Midnight.
There is absolutely NOTHING in TaleSpinner's character to make me think he actually withstood the recoil shock, while boasting about withstanding the recoil shock :smallbiggrin:

Well, he didn't withstand the recoil shock per se, but he's an earth pony, and I go by the IaDBGOYD continuity when it comes to special earth pony powers. When push comes to shove, earth ponies stand FIRM.


Hmmmm, maybe i should hit him with the ball this time instead of the backlash? And SiuiS, you dont survive long against the Smooze if you hesitate to shoot. Besides, blowing stuff up just makes me feel all warm and tingly. *spins the launcher around her back. once again pointing it at Talespinner. then kicks ponyard. Come on lazy bones, nap times over, we have a mini mutiny happening here. Also im surprised nopony's commented on my standing on two legs wielding a launcher...its like your used to seeing this...

"Him? Please, don't make me laugh! I am, after all, currently the most beautiful slave-filly known to ponykind! Which, admittedly, isn't really something to boast about. And you are, apparently, absolutely insane, so why am I even justifying myself to you?"

You know you're crazy when even Talespinner thinks you're crazy.


Mask gets an incredibly powerful urge to make a response - a good response, a witty one! - but has to fight it down because it is way too forward and embarrassing.

What a shame. What a bleedin' shame. :smallwink:


A bound and trussed Metal Mask: "'Not very effective' in this case means that I'm not gagged. That's about it, though."

*Roped up hooves scrabble frantically at the air to try and catch the lamp, which lands an infuriating two inches out of Mask's reach.*

Talespinner looks over the side of the ship and sees that the lamp has missed Thanqol. His ears twitch as they, as keen and cunning as they are, catch what Metal Mask has to say. He grins, and rubs the lamp again, not caring about the rocket launcher in front of him. Eh, he'll dodge it if it tries to hit him again.

"Oh, Maskie? My next wish is that you'd now be gagged."


Mask: "Super-secret tip: Easy way to tell is the tail. You'll notice mine's way too long and fluffy to be a boy's tail." (Noticing that detail in the avatar was actually what made me decide Mask was female)

B-but Talespinner's is long! And silky, not fluffy, admittedly.


I figure I don't know a character until I can answer completely random questions about completely random minor details about them without even thinking.

Hmm. That's interesting, I'll have to remember that.


Mask: "Some mothers send kids to their rooms. Mine turns me into a dijinni and forces me to make out with another girl."

Part of me wants to call Filly Protective Services, part of me wants more mothers like that. I feel so conflicted!


Mask: "One does not 'socialise' with Talespinner. The only options are to argue with him or to flatter him. Also I totally don't need to work on my socialisation, I totally have lots of friends. Bunches of them."

Talespinner loves socialization! That's when you get together with a colt you know, right, and you spend the entire time swapping stories! You tell him what you've been doing, he tells you what he's been doing, and you play some Coltstation 3 games in between the talking!


And I am not a freaky fish guy!

Hey, Thanqol, I wanna see the freaky fish guy make a whale jump over a rock, like in Free Willy- GAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[EsperDerek]

Unfortunately, any rampages and/or responses will have to occur in the morning, as I must wake up early tomorrow to deal with some business. So, yeah, enjoy the chaos, and I'll get back to ponies tomorrow. :smallsmile:

[Kyouhen]

Probably because pretty much every single bad guy in the books came from Slytherin.

At least, that's my problem. If you focus on just the few "Virtues" Rarity has in common with Slytherin, I have no problem with her being in the house.

No no, I'm quite certain it's something very specific. Of course I'm probably going to figure out what it is then promptly realize is has something to do with what I originally thought the Slytherin virtues were.

Either way, need sleep now. G'night everypony!

[Titanium Fox]

I'm in the same boat. It's midnight and I have work at 6 AM. Night everypony! Don't blow through too many pages without me!

[Kindablue]

Okay, this bugs me EVERY time I watch Suited for Success. (which is often, as it's prolly my fave.)

Twilight's OLD dress. The one she asks Rarity to fix.
This one.
http://i55.tinypic.com/xyl42.png

That is NOT consistent with the dresses Rarity makes. What gives?

I think Rarity did make it. In the pilot it's one of the dresses that she shoves on Twilight when they first meet. (Would you call that a montage?) You see it for a split second before she declares that it's "too poofy" and moves on to the next. I watch this show too much.





We're talking about the show that decided to make a family of ponies who have never smiled.
The ones who were cured of their solemnity with balloons and rainbows forty five seconds after being introduced? That family? :smalltongue: It's my opinion that the unironic portrayal of a Utopian society where everyone knows their purpose in life and no one's job is pointless is one of the main reasons that this show is so popular. Postmodernism is fine and all, but at a certain point you run out of things to take apart and realize that knowing how an oven works is a lot less valuable than knowing how to bake a cake. (Wow, what a terrible analogy. I'm sorry.)

[Kris Strife]

Well, I know SiuiS and EsperDerek are as confused as me, but does anyone in the Djinni rp know if there's anyone still inside the castle, or is Leo banging on the door of an empty building? :smalltongue:

Also, Soft Serve, I'm now tempted to ask for both yours and Siuis's MSN screen names, but scared, just in case I already know one or both of you... Though if I did, you'd probably be able to recognize me. :smallamused:

[Mystic Muse]

[email protected] is my MSN address. Always glad to talk to another playgrounder. :smallsmile: Almost.

Everypony is leaving! Who's left? I need solidarity if I'm going to finish my epic-length post and a WTG story before 9 PM tomorrow...

AND MY AXE.

[Kris Strife]

Added you Soft Serve. :smalltongue: I hope my MSN name doesn't confuse you too much. :smallwink:

[Kris Strife]

Double posting to make some phantom posts visible (hopefully).

[the_druid_droid]

The forum is acting strangely all of a sudden...

EDIT: @DBC - Is that "Break out an axe as well and slaughter the demons of writer's block", or "I'm with you on this late-night writing binge, like Gimli"?

[mikeejimbo]

GUYS. I CAME UP WITH THE BEST IDEA EVER.

You know the elements of Ponythread we compiled earlier?

I remember making a joke about Argon that everyone missed before Boron was mentioned. :smallfrown:

That said, I don't object to being in the fanfic.

You know, if you wanted me in.

[WJMill]

So I have an idea for my next arts. I know it's been done before but not specifically what I want to do with it.

Super mare extraordinaire
Pinkazoid!
Pinkazoid!

Eats cupcakes without a care
Pinkazoid!

Always rescues Ponyville
Pinkazoid!
Pinkazoid!

Unless she needs her sugar fill

They do look awfully similar.

Mm. I can solidarify for a half hour or so. What am I solidaritying?

[Vent Reynolt]

Wait a second. I have The Chart, The Ship Note, The Book and the Djinnification Spell?

*nearly invisible twitch of utter joy* Yay!


It's okay everypony; don't panic. Esper may have complete control over the red strings of fate, that Djinnification spell, some of the most powerful artifacts to be created within ponythread, and likely a host of other powers, but remember that we are not defenseless! We still have the OFC, and as long as we still hold it under our control, there is still hope.

Just. Don't. Panic.

*Holds towel tightly*


GUYS. I CAME UP WITH THE BEST IDEA EVER.

You know the elements of Ponythread we compiled earlier?

I'm totally going to write a fic. About all of us. And the elements of Ponythread. Except they're going to be called the elements of Insanity.

I'm going to start it off at a game store in Ponyville. It's going to start with all of us split off into D&P (Dungeons and Ponies) games.

Who wants to own the shop? http://i.imgur.com/jaolo.jpg

This sounds like fun and I love fun things. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50xrx3cUb2Y)


Camping?

Camping?

*Memories flash before Thanqol's eyes.

The cold. The dark. The rain. The endless slog down a mountain. The mud flowing like water. The treacherous terrain, constant slipping, shoes soaked, feet freezing. The dinner of cold baked beans. The construction of a tent in pitch blackness and high winds. The mud, inside and outside. The cold, inside and outside. The horror. The horror*

"Yes. Camping. I have... strong feelings about camping."

I too have memories of camping...

Rain. Always rain. Even when forecasts call for clear skies, weather patterns change just to make it rain on us. But the rain doesn't dampen my spirit because my friends and I already braved camping through a tropical storm, in a campsite that had actually been evacuated earlier for the storm (we didn't know).

Other times, camping on the beach. Sand everywhere; even in places that I didn't even know existed... at least not until sand got there. Some other times, camping in freezing cold and wind, still other times hiking seemingly endless miles, and perhaps even once or twice camping during a perfect spring day with no problems whatsoever.

But through it all, those shared experiences forged the strongest bonds of friendship that I have ever known. Plus a bit of a fondness for temperate forests.

These are some of my experiences with camping in the Boy Scouts, and because I probably can't state it clearly enough, I love camping.

Also, why is her hair bacon?

And I made that connection from the start. I suspect that wasn't a dress Rarity made, it's just one she had around. After all, fashions do change.

Hair bacon Twilight is, in my opinion, the cutest version of adult Twilight we've seen. Period.

[the_druid_droid]

You are helping to keep me from going insane (the bad kind) as I struggle to write things I have promised myself/others I will write. Moral support, and all that; so I know I'm not the only one awake at these unpleasant hours.

But the rain doesn't dampen my spirit because my friends and I already braved camping through a tropical storm, in a campsite that had actually been evacuated earlier for the storm (we didn't know).

My prairie-locked experiences are much the saem, though admittedly I only went camping perhaps five times over the course of my youth. What I do know is that every school field trip (including, yes, the one where we camped outside of Fort Carlton), it rained. Oh such things the cruel skies chose to ruin for us.

Also there was that time I went to the bathroom at the museum and everyone left without me, only turning the bus around and coming back for me after a belated head count half way back towards home.

But yeah, every school field trip, rain. Also that time I fell into a cactus.

I dunno. The bacon hair makes her look pretty ritzy.

Oh, okay, cool.

[MCerberus]

Right so I'm going to sleep in my ship-proof bunker since SOMEPONY's gone compleatly mad with power.

Then I'll continue my work on the Pinkazoid picture. There'll be Gilda, Trixie, NMM, and Apple Jack. Though, you shouldn't say the last one out loud or-

Apple Jack takes the people she captures to her farm to help with the chores. Of course, they're paid and fed for their work. Just because somepony is a terrifying spirit from campfire stories doesn't mean they have to be mean.

Alternately, Pinkazoid only thinks Apple Jack is a villain, when she's just babysitting Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. She wants her little sister to do her chores.

Also, SiuiS. Get back on MSN Sometime.:smalltongue:

Nah, can't do it. When I had MSN, it was directly corellatable to my life falling apart. I can't handle that level of responsibility.

And if that sounds dumb, consider that I have been on the clock the last 6 hours or so; and still I'm posting. Quoting. Researching. I would get fired if I had a chat program again. If I was lucky, that's where it would stop.

No, I fear having Internet friends is going to have to be a lark until I can grow up and handle myself accordingly. It sucks, talking to other ponies is fun. But that's kinda the problem.

We'll see how things go when I get an actual job though; this gas station gig was supposed to keep me afloat on my job search <.<


No no, I'm quite certain it's something very specific. Of course I'm probably going to figure out what it is then promptly realize is has something to do with what I originally thought the Slytherin virtues were.

Wait a second. I have The Chart, The Ship Note, The Book and the Djinnification Spell?

*nearly invisible twitch of utter joy* Yay!

w- hey! I thought we put you to bed! Don't make me call in your mother, your mom and your mother!


Well I've got a picture of my OC lying around somewhere, but it's not in the style that would compliment the ponytars we've got here. But his color scheme is just so... bland. I 'unno. I've also got a Jade green mare character named Jade... Maybe her. Agh. I thought coming up with this was going to be easy. XD

Are you still an earth pony? I figured being a Djinni might mess things up- over-write your racial features, 3.5 template style. That's how he got me; jokingly being an Efreet removed my polymorph immunity.

Alas, metal mask must now gag himself...

Hm. Any of y'all ever seen the ducktales movie? *dangles an amulet* [Bluff: 32]


I'm in the same boat. It's midnight and I have work at 6 AM. Night everypony! Don't blow through too many pages without me!

weird. Maybe she did. But when did Twilight have time to wear it out, get it so ratty? She has a life we don't know about?!
Scandalous!!!

Well, yes, that's true. But we just say "it's such a happy, joyful show" rather than all the utopian stuff. Well, mostly.

Hmm. That's interesting, I'll have to remember that.

Heck, I find if I build the character's mind right then everything else just happens of it's own accord. Start 'em moving with their fundamental thought pattern and they'll build themselves.

[Kindablue]

Thanks :) Looking forward to your thoughts, even if it's only loosely inspired by that story.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I liked it a lot, and I don't see why you couldn't submit it, with a few minor changes.

Almost all of these comments are technical.
Part 1:


None of that appealed greatly to Twilight's stomach right now. Fluttershy, on the other hoof, sounded like just the kind of medicine she needed right now.


Twilight trotted off down a trail towards the edge of the festival area, passing by a tent from which a voice could be heard. Twilight paused and listened. The voice sounded vaguely familiar. Ever curious, Twilight walked up and peeked inside the tent.
This could be said in two sentences, and I don't think splitting it up adds anything.


„Trixie?" Twilight muttered with a hint of incredulity. ¶ „... but only the Great and Powerful Trixie saw the signs of the impending darkness." Intrigued, Twilight walked into the tent and found a spot where she could see the stage, and the unicorn. What could Trixie be up to this time?
It's expected that you should separate this into two paragraphs at the ¶. It's not really a universal rule and I'm not saying you have to follow it (Kafka didn't), but it's expected. I personally don't see the need unless the audience is getting confused as to who's saying what, and I never was.


the heart of the Everfree Forest in search of the ruins of the Ancient Pony Sisters where the Elements were last kept.
Shouldn't it be "horse" not "pony"? Celestia's a horse, right?


She then read the note* „Dearest Twilight. Spike is sleeping in my room tonight. Poor thing feel asleep at the fair, and your door was locked. Your friend, Rarity." Twilight smiled to herself as she thought of her number one assistant. Poor thing. Owlowiscious was sitting on the window sill, preening his feathers. No doubt the owl didn't want to get out in this weather. Twilight offered the owl him a little treat, picked up the book and threw herself on the bed.

Spike shipping! There should be a period or a colon where the * is (This comes up throughout the story, so I'm not going to quote every instance.).


Part 2:


Princess Celestia occasionally mentioned Luna in passing, but it almost seemed like Luna she had vanished out of sight and mind after the events of that night.


Pedigree Lane had no doubt grown more crowded since those early days, as the village grew, but as it winded its way towards the edge of town the houses grew sparser.
I'd also suggest changing the second "grew" to something else.


Part 3:


Twilight smiled and picked up the small present, carefully unwrapping a small wooden box beautifully carved.
I would change it to "...carefully unwrapping a small, beautifully carved, wooden box."


At least she had Owlowiscious, and her two new friends, Trixie and Luna, to keep her company and help in her studies.


Part 4:


It felt great. No, better than great!


"No, Luna, because the Great and Powerful Trixie doesn't go around attacking ponies, or trying to kill them! But she may just have to humiliate you."


Stars sparkled across the heavens like pearly tears, but no moon rose that night.
I like the echo.


Trixie blinked at the stranger, the strange speaking throwing her off for a second "What? Oh, uh, yes. Why do you ask?" The zebra held out a hoof in greeting "Zecora is my name, from Ponyville I came. Worried for Twilight I have been, strange things I've seen." Trixie shook the hoof a little uncertainly "Strange things?" Zecora nodded "In the forest she's been a night, running from my sight. Warned her I did at the fair, but she wouldn't listen there." Trixie sighed "Well, she won't listen to me either. What did you want me to do?" Zecora looked at her as she stood up "Keep an eye on her, through the owl we may confer." Trixie sighed and shook her head as the strange zebra disappeared around the corner "Your friends are almost as strange as you, lately, Twilight? What's going on with you?"


It didn't take long for Twilight to revert back to her strange, secluded self.
I'd change at least a few of those.


Part 5:


The shawl he burnt right there in front of the shocked audience, only to restore it moments later from the ashes, to much cheer and relief.
"He burnt the shawl right there..." flows better.


Looking forward to the next part!

Kris, I don't see an invite from you for some reason. :smallconfused:

"What did I do?" :smalleek:

[Kurgan]

Sigh...lost internet about 10 minutes after getting up this morning, and so couldn't go through my routine of catching up on pony thread. Now there are 9 pages to slog through. Pony thread, why are you so fast? Luckily you are always entertaining at least.

[SiuiS]

"What did I do?" :smalleek:

Why, Twilight Sparkle's hair of course. I figure you makin'D some bacon on her with your Prana was responsible. *shrug* A mistake on my part; should have been right after appropriate quote rather than later

[Kris Strife]

...Do you realize how dirty that sounds?
Of course, that might distract Twilight from whatever she caught Midnight doing with Pinkie...
And turning her hair into bacon can be one of the many ways in which Leo drives Twilight up the wall. :smalltongue:

[Kindablue]

Actual bacon, or just shaped like bacon?

[Kris Strife]

Actual bacon, or just shaped like bacon?

Bacon, but colored like Twilight's hair. I'll say it changes back to normal if she can avoid having it eaten for a day. :smalltongue:

No problem. And thanks :)

Not sure what you mean, exactly. It looks ok to me.

I try to make it clear from the words, rather than the formatting, who is speaking. It feels a little forced sometimes, I admit, so I have considered breaking up conversations instead. I suppose I'll keep pondering the options :)


Shouldn't it be "horse" not "pony"? Celestia's a horse, right?

I always thought so too, but I'm pretty sure that's what those old ruins are called in the show itself.


Spike shipping! There should be a period or a colon where the * is (This comes up throughout the story, so I'm not going to quote every instance.).

Heh, not sure there's much shipping going on there, but thanks :) I try to remember those periods, but I suppose some might have slipped.



I like the echo.

Echo?



I'd change at least a few of those.

Right :smallredface: That's really shameful, thanks for catching it :)


Looking forward to the next part!

I'm starting to really look forward to your posts. xD

You realise what a bad idea it is to encourage me like that, don't you...?


Neat. Where does one go to see this chillspeak? Or is it a trade secret?

No, but I don't actually have a digital version (at least one compatible with these computers!) Chillspeak is the language of Undeath ("chillspeak" is itself the English word for the language, like "french"). Once again, I'm not entirely sure whether it's a created or adopted language; I think it was the latter though. I'm fairly sure the glyphs were created by the Aotrs at a later date; chillspeak itself is a pretty awesome spoken language. The best way I can describe it is it's like listening to the scream of the Nazgul; the very sound of it (properly pronounced) stabs the soul with knives, turns the blood to ice, the knees to water. (It's often very hard for livings to pronounce, unless you're a good soprano or naturally good at screaming or something. I couldn't while I was alive.) A sentence sound slike one undulating scream. A lot of the older Aotrs are fluent in both English and chillspeak, and our displays are encoded for English, English with chillspeak glyphs and chillspeak itself (the latter is a bit like Japanese in that respect, in that it had glyphs for all the letters and some special ones for really long words, because scream-to-text doesn't translate easily (too many continuous vowels); "Shraak" for example (being the name of one of our Midnight A class Dreadcarriers) translate roughly to "murderous intent".) I'm crap at languages, though, so I usually use the former!

I've occasionally wondered about trying to make a font for chillspeak (at least the translatable characters, anyway), but I have no clue how you'd do that.

Oh yeah, a question for anyone who prereads Semper Fidelis.

How do you imagine the creatures that Tirek transformed the main 6 into? I described Applejack's transformation with a very distinct imagine in my mind.

I picture them mostly as regular horses with pegasus wings, but sickly thin for some reason. Something like the skin is stretched over the bones, so you can see the ribcage and several of the joints thin.

It's okay Lyra, I will always love your dresses.


Also, I declared her married to the sea because I like to declare myself married to the sea.

I live in Central Washington.

I claim that we're going through a trial separation, and we'll probably be divorced by years end.

So it's a stock joke, not a serious take on Lyra's character.

You mean... she wasn't actually shipped to the sea? :smallconfused: I'll never get some of your American jokes.


huh. The threads became so twisted that we are back at where we at early June. I guess Lyra the cursing dockworker is the quiet point of ponysanity to where the thread will sooner or later will return.

GUYS. I CAME UP WITH THE BEST IDEA EVER.

You know the elements of Ponythread we compiled earlier?

I'm totally going to write a fic. About all of us. And the elements of Ponythread. Except they're going to be called the elements of Insanity.

I'm going to start it off at a game store in Ponyville. It's going to start with all of us split off into D&P (Dungeons and Ponies) games.

Who wants to own the shop? http://i.imgur.com/jaolo.jpg

I was totally going to do this, if it were not my ongoing fic. Do it! Do it! I command you to finish it!


I stay unshippy though pure willpower, this also renders me unshippable. for I am the silence, the quiet, and I am at peace.

Nopony in the pony thread is unshippable. Nopony!

That was actually me a while back, when nopony was responding to me and I was getting paranoid that nopony in the thread liked me. XD

I'm still probably going to change, just for the fact that writing the element of Paranoia seems a lot more fun than writing the element of Narcolepsy.

(It's often very hard for livings to pronounce, unless you're a good soprano or naturally good at screaming or something. I couldn't while I was alive.)

So.... It's a language consisting entirely of Power Words?

Also I have to ask, where did all of this stuff come from? The Aotrs seems entirely too well thought out. Is this carrying over from an RP campaign or something you did? Or did you make a fleet for a wargame and then develop an entire backstory to it? I'm really curious where this started.

[Aotrs Commander]

So.... It's a language consisting entirely of Power Words?

Not so much as it resonates in the subconcious of the minds of the living, causing unease; something in the harmonics, I think. (A bit like how a baby's cry is designed to be a bit distressing to the human ear to serve it's intended purpose.)


Also I have to ask, where did all of this stuff come from? The Aotrs seems entirely too well thought out. Is this carrying over from an RP campaign or something you did? Or did you make a fleet for a wargame and then develop an entire backstory to it? I'm really curious where this started.

Let us just say that I have been wargaming and roleplaying for twenty years, and all my wargaming and roleplaying takes place in the same universe (with a few exceptions for some pre-written modules I run) and I am a complusive world-builder. That universe also pre-dates my wargaming and roleplaying days to pretty much as far back as one can go.The Aotrs stuff I cite is usually quoted from the relevant documentation (as is often, everything else).

(As an idea of the lengths I go for such things, if you go to the Aotrs Shipyards, you will find pretty much everything has a description of in-universe function and history; which but a snap-shot from the race's own rather more lengthy history (and physiology) documentation. Or there's always the History of the Dark Wars (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=160127), archived on this very forum...)

Okay, so I've read through. For the Elements of Ponythread fic, I have: Kyouhen, Titanium Fox, RdMarquis, mikeejimbo, Vent Reynolt, and Grif who want to be a part of this, and Soft Serve does not. Any other definitive yes/no's from anyone? I have a plan that can utilize all 41 ponies listed, so don't feel like there's not enough space. :P

You are free to, I believe the phrase is "go nuts" with my likeness. As is, always and forever, everypony else. Whenever a certain young author pony can perk up a project for you, don't even feel the need to ask permission. Well, within reason.

And now I know! And am impressed. 20 years in one universe? Very nice. Do you refluff the built-in races in various wargames so they match your universe or do you normally just play games that have a less established fluff?

Also someone put up an animated version of Twilight getting trampled by Dash in the first episode. Out of sheer curiosity I popped it open to see what Twilight looked like in the split second she's being moved off the screen in a massive rainbow blur. This is what I found:

Anyone else think she seems just a little too happy about being suddenly run over by a rainbow?

Awesome! I'm glad so many people are interested in this. Don't worry, you'll get your hat back. I don't need too much information really, just a basic personality if anything (and even at that I can always just go off the personalities shown here in Ponythread). Although if you want to work on your OC for the fic, I'm not going to say no. :smalltongue:

[Aotrs Commander]

And now I know! And am impressed. 20 years in one universe? Very nice. Do you refluff the built-in races in various wargames so they match your universe or do you normally just play games that have a less established fluff?

As a rule, we tend to play sets of rules that are not set to specific genera. (And generally always have, apart from the odd foray into Warhammer and Battletech, and the former often only ended up spinning off into the main universe as well.) In fact nowadays, we mostly play my set of starship rules, and Manouvre Group for ground combat (which is a commercial set, albiet one written by my Dad and one of our mates.) D&D 3.x or D20 generally (for not-fantasy) tends to be our system of choice most of the time, but before that it was (and still is) Rolemaster.

I treat all the sets of rules (RPG or wargame) as being what they are: an imperfect simulation of the "real" universe. Longstanding stuff thus gets adapted to different rules sets as required, to get the correct effects (we're big on modelling the effect over how that effect is achieved). For example, the Aotrs weapon stats in Rolemaster formed the basis of the Manouvre Group stats (the latter is a much less granular system, obviously!) Some stuff started out only with the "real" stats, and sometimes it's a bit of a struggle to make them fit into the rules properly!

Even the low-tech purely "fantasy"1 worlds are still part of the universe, existing in the same galaxy, but for want of a better phrase "tech-locked", in that a sort of divine Prime Directive (usually) stops higher-tech space-faring races from goign down and knobbling them. There are still a few and have in the past been a lot of these "fantasy" worlds around, which would have been recognisable as such in their early history. But from the way their history played out, they gave rise to the modern space-faring powers like the Elven Kingdoms, the Saiyvalyss Alliance and the Orc Fearcrushy to name a handful - and, of course, several of these worlds are ones the Aotrs have conquered over their history (including our captial world, Fearmore (originally G'Nayel). Events such as the Xakkath Demon Wars ten thousands years ago have had a direct impact on the two major D&D campaign worlds, and a few mentions even in the wider galaxy. And of course, being capable of circumnavigating - to an extent - the barriers around tech/time-locked worlds, and being able to cross dimensions (and time if we really have to), the Aotrs can show up anywhere... The universe itself is rife with factions to boot, and new ones show up all the time. (There are 41 starfleets between the lot of us, most of which are from what are classified as major powers.)

And yes, it is entirely possible there is a tech-locked little world somewhere, populated by brightly-colours equines. (After all, there are the centaur-like Horseonians floating around.)

However, we, at least, are not going to look for them, since as you may recall from the couple of times I posted that picture, the last time the Aotrs popped over to a dimension occupied by magic ponies, it...didn't go so well.

...

I'll probably get lynched for this, but...I guess I'll elaborate...

*sigh*

Turns out that the scalar dimensions didn't mesh well, and even the Aotrs High Command wasn't expecting to fight eighteen-foot-tall, practically indestructible magic horses. Sadly, they didn't think to bring vehicular back-up2; because who'd have thought Lord Death Despoil himself would be forced to withdraw from "little" ponies.) The Siege of Dream Castle is one of the blackest and most embarrassing days in Aotrs history.

Edit: @#8&^£% finally, my Shapeways order has been dispatched (it's only been six weeks...) So, all being well, tomorrow, I might finally be able to post some pictures of the Pegasus Heavy Bombers!



1Even that isn't strictly true, since there are spells and effects which are basically lasers - (light-element) and at least one monster's breath weapons was essentially a particle beam. These effects are achieved magically, but to paraphrase the saying: the effect of any sufficiently advanced technology/magic is indistinguishable from magic/technology. (Indeed some races mix both magic and tech more even than we do.)

(Aotrs coldbeam technology, for example, is non-magical, but creates elemental cold (i.e. temperatures below absolute zero - yes, that means colder than zero particle movement - not merely the absence of heat, but the opposite) which is not possible outside of magic or sufficiently advanced technology. And this is why coldbeams work in space, since even there, they are colder than the surrounding space, causing even starship hulls to shatter under the extreme sudden compression. Lasers explodinate things, coldbeams sort of shatter-implodinate them.)

2Lord Death Despoil's precog isn't by any means omniscient, and he has a lot of universe to get precog from...

It's okay everypony; don't panic.

We have sought help far and wide. An evil lich from outer space. Ponyard Kipling himself. A crazy mint green unicorn who walks like a human. And many others. All have failed. Not even the Elements of Harmony can save us now.

Gentlemares, this country is officially at war. We must spare no efforts in our righteous crusade against this new evil. We must mobilise every available resource we have. We must dust off forgotten weaponry to combat this unprecedented evil.

We must summon... the elements of Ponythread.

*gasp*

Yes, gentlemares, you heard right. The most unstable elements to be found in all of Equestria. Bonded together for one single purpose. To defeat Midnight Mare. I understand this carries a huge risk. But for the sake of our country and our foals, it must be done.

Oh, don't be silly. Even with all the power that has been granted to me, I will be a benevolent overlord. You shall know joys the likes of which nopony has ever experienced before! Under my kind guidance and firm hoof, the thread will experience peace, love, and a surplus of harem pants that will last generations! Sure, many of you might not recognize yourself once my reign gets into full swing, but be assured that you will grow to enjoy your new positions and forms!

Yes, under I, Midnight Mare, the shipping and ponysanity will last forever!

Well, looks like it's time to cross the memes. :smallamused:

As Low-Key was taken away by the pony that shall not be named by this author, Amish pounded a hoof on the deck in frustration. "Arr! No fair calling upon forces beyond the ken of pony comprehension!"

Fortunately, he was prepared for just such an emergency. Taking a few fresh, warm apple pies from the pie launcher, he set them on the deck in plain sight. The trap set, he waited for his prey to return. "Nopony can resist fresh pie. And I can't have me ship-proof hat fallin' into the wrong hands, what with Midnight Mare gone crazy and all. Somepony's got to lead the outrageously hammy resistance, and it might as well be this scallywag."

"No, I think not"

The repaired Socks and the surviving Pink Fleet fly into the area.

"It seems Midnight still has a score to settle here. We use that as a distraction while the fair monocled princess puts her in time out."

"Ya' know... This is an extremely stupid idea... But what the hay." The pony shrugs as he pulls himself from the ship-proof bunker, standing alongside the decidedly insane pair of ponies stood.

"Worst case scenario she ships me with a cute filly. I think I could live with that." He mutters quietly to himself, before shaking his head at the insanity that laid before him. Perhaps if he just let go and let the ponysanity take him over...

"I do suppose Luna could take care of it. But what's the plan until then?"

Where did you get the parasprite? That mess is adorable.

I'm beginning to think of the pony thread as equal parts crazy discussion and improv group. To the spoilers!

"In the meantime, we get the lubber what stole me hat! Can't start a rebellion if'n all of us get harem'd and ship'd and Celstia knows what else. So unless you two have somethin' better, keep quiet and let the pies do their work!"

He resumed hiding, clutching an oversized net in his teeth.

Looks rather solid. Though I do find it kind of funny that Applejack's accent apparently carries over into her writing.

*The missile is instantly snuffed out far above Midnight Mare, transforming into a group of absurdly cute pony plushies!*

Oh, and by the way? I think it's my turn to retaliate, don't you?

http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l255/EsperDerek/OrbitalFriendshipBeam.png

That's right. I figured *that* out as well.



OK, Midnight Mare has the OFC now. No need to panic...

*starts panicking*

I've never been shipped before! I don't even know what shipping feels like. Does it hurt? What do I do? What do I do?


<Deep in a bunker somewhere>
Gentlemares. We have a situation. Midnight, once the beloved child of Princess Luna, Twilight Sparkle and Trixie, has gone stark raving mad. She now intends to cover the land with harems, djinns and impossibly cute shipping. The powerful creature has styled herself Midnight Mare.

We have sought help far and wide. An evil lich from outer space. Ponyard Kipling himself. A crazy mint green unicorn who walks like a human. And many others. All have failed. Not even the Elements of Harmony can save us now.

Gentlemares, this country is officially at war. We must spare no efforts in our righteous crusade against this new evil. We must mobilise every available resource we have. We must dust off forgotten weaponry to combat this unprecedented evil.

We must summon... the elements of Ponythread.

*gasp*

Yes, gentlemares, you heard right. The most unstable elements to be found in all of Equestria. Bonded together for one single purpose. To defeat Midnight Mare. I understand this carries a huge risk. But for the sake of our country and our foals, it must be done.

May Celestia Bless Us All.

*Raises Hoof*

But, the Element of Corruption would probably approve of Midnight Mare becoming drunk on power.

Unless...

Alright, I'm gonna need some rope, some socks, a cupcake, an apple pie, a rubber chicken, a tuba, Shimmer, Trixie, Lixie, Pinkie, the cult of the Pink One, and Apple Jack. With all that we can begin my plan. First, we give the tuba and rubber chic

Low-Key, falling down the bottomless chasm lasso'd by Applejack (who seems to know exactly where she's going) is congratulating himself on another brilliant escape when Applejack pulls out a grappling hook and fires it back at the tiny airships above them. After a few seconds the rope goes tight and the pair start flying back up to the airship.

"Umm, Applejack? This isn't the way to the farm. I thought you were supposed to take me to the farm. Wait, do I smell... Ooooohhhhh no this is bad. Ummm. APPLEJACK APPLEJACK APPLEJACK! Dammit, the pie's still attracting her!"

The pair slingshot onto the deck, landing right near the pies. Low-Key, wearing the anti-ship hat, mumbles to himself.

"Awesome"

Ow..im up. I'm up. Skyrocket, what happened?
Long or short Version?
Short please, my head hurts.
You were hit in the head with a lamp. while you were out i freed SiuiS and stopped the airship from crashing. Then that sexually deprived Midnight pony went mad with power AAAANNNDDDD is treating to cover the world in scantly clad genies. Also it appears the other Airships have joined the skies.
Oh... Are we still the largest airship.
By a long shot. Wait don't tell me....
Get your bikini top and short shorts. *ponyard pulls on a long flowing coat with a flaming pony skull with a pair of spiked shades.*Prepare to combine.

How come the thread only goes all ponysane when I'm asleep? I never get to actually participate in these shenanigans. And here I'm pretty sure I was the first one of you to get hit by the Pony Singularity!

Well, we've got a Haremsane Midnight running around shipping things, and an airship resistance force starting to grow. I'm sure somepony here would love to kidnap get you involved in shenanagans oh who am I kidding kidnap you!

Amish leaps from the bushes that he somehow had growing on deck ("Just in case I ever need to lie in wait for somethin'. Ye gotta hide in bushes when yer setting an ambush, where else would I hide?) and nets Low-Key. At last, reunited with his beloved hat! He puts it on (remembering to use the chin-strap this time) and strikes a few poses, letting go of the net in the process.

[EsperDerek]

Just for the record, I've been gone a couple of hours, and will be out for a couple of more, so don't expect a response in a bit, so people can play catch-up if they need to. :smallsmile:

[Alabenson]

Well, time to jump into the ponysanity headfirst.

*portals in on the Disk Enhanced Robotic Ponified Yacht*

Muffins and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the battle.

...Right. In any event, it is clear there is only one power that can stop Midnight now. UNLEASH THE FF CANNON!

OK, Midnight Mare has the OFC now. No need to panic...


"Actually, there isn't. I can handle it." *activates Makin' Bacon Prana on Midnight's mane and tail* "Now, where did you say Luna was again?"

[Aotrs Commander]

Owww....

Note to self: duct-taping a cattleprod to a Snake missile is exactly as bad an idea as it sounds.

...

Actually, between missile-induced backlash burns and friendship burns, I'm thinking that was a really bad idea.

And now I'm out of missiles (used most of 'em yesterday). And, moment of silence, that was probably my last ever SK-3A, too. (As the SK-3B is being phased in; we, being a garrison in a quiet backwater are pretty much the bottom priority for the newer stuff.) Still, we're getting a supply run tomorrow, so I'll have some brand-spanking new SK-3Bs to absolutely not duct-tape any cattle prods too.

(I mean, I could Gate a ship in to deal with Midnight, but frankly that would be overkill and somewhat too harsh, even for me. Also, I'd rather not blot my copy-book with Lord Death Despoil...)

Note to self: design some sort of friendship-based shield spell/technology, possibly by summoning something to interpose between me and the beam, e.g. Pinkie Pie.

I would, but instinct tells me if I go along with your plan it'll ultimately end up with me running in circles. On fire.



Also I feel naked without a convieniant rocket launcher to hand.

[erikun]

Okay, so I've read through. For the Elements of Ponythread fic, I have: Kyouhen, Titanium Fox, RdMarquis, mikeejimbo, Vent Reynolt, and Grif who want to be a part of this, and Soft Serve does not. Any other definitive yes/no's from anyone? I have a plan that can utilize all 41 ponies listed, so don't feel like there's not enough space. :P
I have no clue what you would use my element for, but okay. I guess being the element of not being significant enough to be an element would be rather fitting in that case.

"Hmm? Argh! Ninja tricks! I shoulda know that bilge rat was in league with them sneaky devils!" He takes out his trusty pistol (modified to shoot miniature pies) and starts spraying the deck with small custard pies. "Come and face me like a stallion!"

He (mercifully) stops pelting the deck and looks overboard. He waves and throws a rope down. "Oh you're a sight for sore eyes, that you are!" Part of him hoped that robots were immune to shipping. One could only hope...

Question for the thread: Do you think magic has any sort of limits? Or is it a case of "with enough knowledge, time, and power, anything is possible"?

Well, to be honest it's not as though I really have time to play along nearly as much as these sorts of things deserve. I think that's part of the initial appeal of Phoe!Bondage. Moreso than any potential salacious aspects (calm down, Bobcat :smalltongue:), it lets me be the macguffin instead of a central character, and get to participate without feeling like my schedule and energy levels are dragging down the rest of everypony's fun.

Question for the thread: Do you think magic has any sort of limits? Or is it a case of "with enough knowledge, time, and power, anything is possible"?

I think anything is possible with magic, though you have to add special abilities to the list of things restricting it. Unless you happen to be like Twilight and have magic as a special talent, or be an alicorn, your powers are limited to things related to your special talent and telekinesis. And as an extension of that you probably won't devote the time and knowledge to learning much that isn't useful to your special talent anyway.

A trap door leading below decks pops open and Low-Key sticks his head out.
"Hey, I am not working with ninjas! Do you have any idea how hard it is to get in touch with them? They're always being all invisible and stuff. Not worth the effort. I just grabbed the cardboard cut-out that I stuck to the bottom of your ship earlier while The Orange One was flying back up here and swapped with it while she was distracted by the pies."
Low-Key promptly ducks back into the trap door and slams it shut behind him.

[MCerberus]

"Right then why are we still waiting here arguing with each other and throwing mystery abduction ponies at each other?"

*Climbs aboard the Socks*
"Do you think the Element of Heartburn would lead you somewhere bad when there's so much kinky insane 'love' floating about? Don't answer that. Now, I've got some pills full of antidote-34 that should provide some protection for the assault."

*hands out hate beacons*
"That's just in case it doesn't work. If you get clopfic'd, it's the fastest way out."

[InkwellPony]

*Midnight Mare yeeps in surprise, as she's sprayed with that squirt bottle.

"Hey, stop that! And don't insult my Momma like that! I thought you'd be on my side for this! :smallfrown:

My first edict is going to be that "Everypony must own at least one copy of everything you draw, and everything Shimmer writes." Does that make you happy? Will you join my side? Please?

[EsperDerek]

To keep this easier, and so that anypony who doesn't care from being annoyed, I've divided it into spoiler-blocked parts. You'll probably read them all if you're interested, but I'm covering my bases:

Airshipping and Leo:
*Midnight Mare has a paper and quill out, as is writing:

"Let's see...Edict #1:Everypony must own at least one copy of everything Inkwell draws, and everything Shimmer writes.

Edict #2: Everypony not currently in a relationship will report to me to either be shipped or inducted into a harem.

Edict #3: No more harvesting love from appendixes.

Edict #4: The following hats are banned...hm?"

*She looks up at the assembling airships, who are already launching assaults of Fluttershies and Applejacks at her. However, as they descend, they seem to transform into plushies because of an invisible shield!

"Ooh, this must be the next assault! Don't worry, Aunt Young Fluttershy, Aunt Strangely-Shaped-Head Applejack, I'll turn you back when I'm in total control! This is so much fun! I wonder how well those airships will work without their crews at their posts?

*Her horn glows brilliantly, and all across the various airships, the nameless crew members begin to leave their posts to start to make out with one another!


Leo grins and shakes his head. "Just remember, there's at least one pony immune to your effects."

"Actually, there isn't. I can handle it." *activates Makin' Bacon Prana on Midnight's mane and tail* "Now, where did you say Luna was again?"

http://i.imgur.com/ROEne.jpg "Silly little solarpony. You keep thinking I can't affect you. But you'd be wrong."

*The essence of the prana dissolves around Midnight Mare's tail and mane, bursting into motes of light that dissipate, leaving her mane and tail untouched!*

Shimmer/Phoe:

I mean the thing of it is, mfrmhmblerfffghble! *gets dragged off by a mysterious shadowy figure*

Hey, which one of you kidnapped my Royal Consort?! That's just playing dirty, and I have a special punishment for that!

That being said, Phoe, I do think you're worrying too much about spoiling others fun by being slower than others, but that's just my very second-hand opinion.

Inkwell:


... Weeeeeellll... I mean, if everypony must one own copy of everything I draw, then maybe - wait! Is this an ebil plot to get me to draw more?!?

-(Picks up Inkwell, holding her like a shotgun)-

I've got a portable source of rainbows and I know how to use it! Back off!

Midnight Mare blinks, and hrmphs softly.
"I'm just trying to help you because I like you, and all that you've done for me, but if you're going to be like that!"

*Midnight Mare's horn glows brilliantly, and she casts the Djinnification spell on the two!

[Kyouhen]

To keep this easier, and so that anypony who doesn't care from being annoyed, I've divided it into spoiler-blocked parts. You'll probably read them all if you're interested, but I'm covering my bases:

Airshipping and Leo:
*Midnight Mare has a paper and quill out, as is writing:

"Let's see...Edict #1:Everypony must own at least one copy of everything Inkwell draws, and everything Shimmer writes.

Edict #2: Everypony not currently in a relationship will report to me to either be shipped or inducted into a harem.

Edict #3: No more harvesting love from appendixes.

Edict #4: The following hats are banned...hm?"

*She looks up at the assembling airships, who are already launching assaults of Fluttershies and Applejacks at her. However, as they descend, they seem to transform into plushies because of an invisible shield!

"Ooh, this must be the next assault! Don't worry, Aunt Young Fluttershy, Aunt Strangely-Shaped-Head Applejack, I'll turn you back when I'm in total control! This is so much fun! I wonder how well those airships will work without their crews at their posts?

*Her horn glows brilliantly, and all across the various airships, the nameless crew members begin to leave their posts to start to make out with one another!

Low-Key pops back up through the trap door, a nameless crewpony clinging to his back trying to kiss him, and starts running wildly around the deck.
"GETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFF!!"

[Titanium Fox]

The Pegasus pony stares on at the various airships with a mild look of terror glinting in his eye. Seeming to wither away from Midnight Mare; he took a tentative step backwards, hooves clacking on the cobblestone of the streets.

"I've never been so glad to be on the ground before in my life..."

He spins on heel and dives head first back into the ship proof bunker.

Gah! Get him off me! Get him off me!
*Clubs a crewmember off with Olympia*
Ouch, that hurts you know.

[the_druid_droid]

Thread Madness:
*Realizing that climbing with hooves is rather difficult, the robo-pony instead feeds the rope through an internal ratchet system and pulls himself up to the deck*

Much obliged for the lift. But now what?

*As he finishes speaking, a strange flickering energy passes through his circuits, before dissipating*

So that's what the urge to makeout feels like...guess the absence of lips proper puts a damper on it, though.

*Relieved, the droid casts about for a suitable weapon*

And I have no idea what a double-djinni does, but it looks like it's gonna explode. -(Runs)-

More madness:
*The droid looks up in time to see the Pirate and a shotgun-wielding unicorn being pursued by the rest of the crew. He also notices several deckhands pressing too close for comfort*

Oh, right. Robotic immunity doesn't work for the organic crew members.

*As the sailors continue closing in, a plan forms in his mind*

Yes! That's right! Come over here and kiss me, you squishy meatba-, er, dears!

*Shouting and drawing over as many of the affected as possible, the clockwork pony moves toward the hatch closing off the lower decks*

"Well, since Luna's doing whatever it is Luna decided to do, let's get some lines of communication open" A scroll is fired towards the proper place to get express mail sorted in the new dark queendom of Midnight.


Dear Insane Overloard,

First, let me say it makes me deeply happy to see you enjoying the Ship Note delivered to you earlier. Unfortunately, I'm part of these elements of ponythread things... anyhow, please surrender and reverse whatever spells before you end up grounded.

-The Admiral
PS- Can you tell Ensign Mouser that he's ordered back on the ship. Also that he's been demoted for desertion.

"Shall I destroy him for you, mistress?"

Shimmer/Phoe:


Hey, which one of you kidnapped my Royal Consort?! That's just playing dirty, and I have a special punishment for that!



So we have Shimmer now. Excellent; soon, we can begin to set my plan into motion.


Airshipping and Leo:
*Midnight Mare has a paper and quill out, as is writing:

"Let's see...Edict #1:Everypony must own at least one copy of everything Inkwell draws, and everything Shimmer writes.

Edict #2: Everypony not currently in a relationship will report to me to either be shipped or inducted into a harem.

Edict #3: No more harvesting love from appendixes.

Edict #4: The following hats are banned...hm?"


Hmm, a tempting offer, so much potential corruption; but no, I must remember my long term plan.


Inkwell:



Midnight Mare blinks, and hrmphs softly.
"I'm just trying to help you because I like you, and all that you've done for me, but if you're going to be like that!"

*Midnight Mare's horn glows brilliantly, and she casts the Djinnification spell on the two!

And so Inkwell has rejected Midnight Moon. All of the pieces are in place. Here is what my plan is:
With Inkwell and Shimmer as hostages, we will propose a trade. Inkwell for the Ship Note. In order for this to work, we must convince Inkwell to feign having a change of heart. Inkwell will pretend to be in danger and be willing to join Midnight Mare. Midnight Mare won't be able to try anything unusual because we still have Shimmer, and she wouldn't dare endanger Shimmer.

Even if the trade somehow fails, we will still end up with Inkwell as an informant and ally near Midnight Mare. With a sufficient distraction, we should be able to coordinate an event that will buy Inkwell the time to take one of the artifacts from Midnight Mare.

Does anypony have any objections? Anypony besides Shimmer, of course.

[Kurgan]

http://i.imgur.com/ROEne.jpg
Oh, and by the way? I think it's my turn to retaliate, don't you?

http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l255/EsperDerek/OrbitalFriendshipBeam.png

That's right. I figured *that* out as well.




Ooooh, let me point you to this (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=11428155&postcount=724), from thread XV:




((first off, a bit of a retcon, as I thought the whole Pink One thing was part of a hallucination that Siuis had, and not something that was actually there. So, gonna go back to one of the parts from last thread, new things in bold. On a side note, this whole airshipping thing has made me realize how terrible I am at writing in the present tense...))



The Party Barge had returned to port, and the Kommodore had spent the next several hours enjoying late night cake time, followed by the midnight cake time, and after midnight cake time, and even the early morning cake time.

He was beginning to get over the failures of the past day. Losing Midnight, losing Luna, being face to face with the Pink One, only to be torn away at the last second. Alright, so he was still angry.

But at least Mr. Wiggles had survived! The young colt had revealed that it was his special talent. Odd considering that his cutie mark was a stylized image of an explosion. It was only when changing into his new yellow saddle that the Kommodore saw that there was an image of a blank-flank Wiggles on his back as well, a safe distance from the danger on his flank.

The two had spent most of the morning in debriefing, where they told the Party Council of the possible whereabouts of the Pink One. The decision had been made. Using the chassis of the old Orbital Friendship Cannon, they would build a Party Gun, and fire it into the place between the Nightmare Realms, the Dreamlands, and Void Space, hoping to break the seals binding the Pink One to the location.

So, it has been decided. Cake for the Cake God. Parties for the Party Throne!

Cake for the Cake God!
Parties for the Party Throne!

Good! Kommodore, take whats left of your unit to the orbital relay. In recognition for your findings, you will be put in charge of this mission. Also, we will send you a hefty baked goods ration to keep morale up.

__________________________________________________ ____

The two walk out of the council's chambers.

Well Mr. Wiggles, that went well! Things are looking up for us, things are looking up!

Yes sir, but something has been chomping at my flank for days now.

What is that, Mr. Wiggles?

Well...its just that..."Kommodore" starts with a "C", not a "K".

NOOOOOOOooooo!

The End.



Take note of the bolded part: The followers of the Pink One have been remodeling the friendship cannon into a Party Gun, and had set it to aim into the Dreamlands to free the Pink One.

So by firing it, you have either freed the Pink One or turned all of Equestria into Party Land.

Airshipping: The Commodore's Tale

The Commodore was sitting at the captains table, feasting upon cake. He could get used to this. All he had to do was make sure nopony attacked the Orbital Friendship Cannon until after it was refitted into the Orbital Party Cannon, and the work there had been finished just a few hours ago. He figured he would let the high command know in a few days, and enjoy himself a bit more before he was reassigned.

Suddenly, the entire station shook, and everything turned Pink for a few minutes. The Commodore looked out of the viewport, and saw that somepony had activated the gun. Well, so much for waiting. As the beam left, color returned to normal.

Mr. Wiggles! Who fired that, and what did we just shoot?!

[Lix Lorn]

You may be correct!

The 'old dress' Rarity needs to fix.

http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/g378/WJMillMLP/toopoofy.jpg
The dress that was 'too poofy'.

They do look awfully similar.
Okay. Fixed. ^^


You realise what a bad idea it is to encourage me like that, don't you...?

No, but I don't actually have a digital version (at least one compatible with these computers!) Chillspeak is the language of Undeath ("chillspeak" is itself the English word for the language, like "french"). Once again, I'm not entirely sure whether it's a created or adopted language; I think it was the latter though. I'm fairly sure the glyphs were created by the Aotrs at a later date; chillspeak itself is a pretty awesome spoken language. The best way I can describe it is it's like listening to the scream of the Nazgul; the very sound of it (properly pronounced) stabs the soul with knives, turns the blood to ice, the knees to water. (It's often very hard for livings to pronounce, unless you're a good soprano or naturally good at screaming or something. I couldn't while I was alive.) A sentence sound slike one undulating scream. A lot of the older Aotrs are fluent in both English and chillspeak, and our displays are encoded for English, English with chillspeak glyphs and chillspeak itself (the latter is a bit like Japanese in that respect, in that it had glyphs for all the letters and some special ones for really long words, because scream-to-text doesn't translate easily (too many continuous vowels); "Shraak" for example (being the name of one of our Midnight A class Dreadcarriers) translate roughly to "murderous intent".) I'm crap at languages, though, so I usually use the former!

I've occasionally wondered about trying to make a font for chillspeak (at least the translatable characters, anyway), but I have no clue how you'd do that.
Nah. xD

Mortals can't say it?
Problem? http://i.imgur.com/ROEne.jpg


Okay, so I've read through. For the Elements of Ponythread fic, I have: Kyouhen, Titanium Fox, RdMarquis, mikeejimbo, Vent Reynolt, and Grif who want to be a part of this, and Soft Serve does not. Any other definitive yes/no's from anyone? I have a plan that can utilize all 41 ponies listed, so don't feel like there's not enough space. :P
Go ahead and use me, but remember I AM of deific power. :P


The Pink One vs. Appleja-that one pony who kidnaps you if you say her name. Truly a battle of titans.
We have 2/6 of the ponies as eldritch beings. Lets do the others.

Total chaos is the new Phoebondage.
Midnight Mare
A purple pegasus pony lands beside the self styled goddess of shipping, bypassing every defence and every safeguard. She looks SEVERELY annoyed.
"I hear you're after my title." she says casually.

With an explosion of light, she grows to the size of an alicorn, a horn growing from her forehead, and four more wings growing from her, giving her six, as she glares down at Midnight with the wrath of a spurned goddess.

Which is fitting, considering how she's a spurned goddess and all.
For rule of funny's sake, she hasn't got a way of stopping djinnification right now.
Also to be fair, cause her/my power level would OBLITERATE Midnight, and thus ruin the entire roleplay.

[Welf]

Catching up is hard work. http://i.imgur.com/LxdwA.jpg


... I opened over 20 tabs just for the quotes. Then I closed half of them in a fit of insanity. /facepalm

But there is an advantage: Every time within the last 18 hours I caught up and marked some quotes I had to leave the house. So I opened quotes in new tabs and let them in the cache.


(Also, what happened to Sweetie Welf?)

The avatar or the name? The later waits for approval, the former got replaced.

I'm in. I'm kinda curious what you'll write about the element of moustache.



Nah, can't do it. When I had MSN, it was directly corellatable to my life falling apart. I can't handle that level of responsibility.

And if that sounds dumb, consider that I have been on the clock the last 6 hours or so; and still I'm posting. Quoting. Researching. I would get fired if I had a chat program again. If I was lucky, that's where it would stop.

No, I fear having Internet friends is going to have to be a lark until I can grow up and handle myself accordingly. It sucks, talking to other ponies is fun. But that's kinda the problem.

We'll see how things go when I get an actual job though; this gas station gig was supposed to keep me afloat on my job search <.<

Pony thread is eating a lot of time. I wonder if I can keep on posting or just reading regularly when I start with my new job.


I know I'm a little late on the HP&MLP discussion, but whatever.


@Houses discussion

Because Equestria is a sugarbowl where half the problems solve themselves if you don't give up, The house creators would have different virtues.

Gryffondor-bravery, daring, nerve, and chivalry. It would still exist in the same why. There are plenty reckless/brave ponies out there. Mostly pegasi.

Ravenclaw-intelligence, knowledge, wisdom, and wit. All the ponies with magic, craft, science, and art cutimarks go here.

Slytherinhouse- ambition, cunning and resourcefulness. Problem. Ponies rarely have to be cunning or resourceful. Ponies just play, go to work, play, go to bed. They rarely hit a problem that doesnt solve itself or take a little think. Slytherin is about sitting back, looking around, and planning. Only ponies who plan to leave their hometown would ever be Slytherin. Slytherin would transform to the house for romantics and wanderers.

Hufflepuff- hard work, patience, loyalty, fair play. Problem. All ponies value this. Hufflepuff becomes SILLY PONY and animal/plant lovers house

"sitting back, looking around, and planning"? I know a pony that fits that description:

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-cIZGuvv7zaQ/TjCQ7fYic7I/AAAAAAAAAlU/3ztsXmks-jU/CelestiaSlytherin_klein.png



True that it was resourceful, but she only enslaved them until they were going to let her go. And she only did that because they weren't going to let her go. I just have a hard time seeing anyone work in a reactive manner like that being in Slytherin. Nor can I really see a member of Slytherin simply giving that up.

Isn't that what a smart Slytherin should do? She achieved her objectives and put an end to the operation. Not knowing when to stop playing is usually the downfall of unsuccessful villains.


I don't know, something just doesn't sit right with me about Rarity being in Slytherin. I can't quite put my finger on it but it doesn't seem like where she should be. Maybe it is just the way the books portrayed the house, or maybe it's just been so long since I've touched any of those books and/or you guys know more about the Potterverse than I do. (I've already been proven wrong about what Slytherin's values were)

I think it's the portrayal of the house, which was one of the biggest mistakes in the books to me. We were told that Slytherin is about smartness and ambition, but all we were shown that they were evil. It started pretty obvious when nearly all new Slytherins in the first book were clearly evil on account of ugliness. It was somewhat blurred with Draco redemption and Snape and the implication the Potter junior might join the house (afair), but it still left a bad taste to me. But with that portrayal it's hard to imagine that a good character might join that house. But aside from that I can imagine Rarity very well in the house; just that her self-confidence don't lead to cruelty or arrogance against others.

[ScionoftheVoid]

First, I consider myself oblivious and managed to notice SiuiS and Brazen - what planet are you guys on? Dear Luna, don't answer that.

I'll be heading over to get myself enrolled anyway - if you want an escort - is what I'm saying." Flock shivers with anticipation, before pausing.

"Sorry to bother you, but I have to ask. Am I a filly or a colt, at the moment?"

[EsperDerek]

Jesus, people, I'm only one pony! Okay, same as before:

Airships:
*Midnight Mare practically cackles with glee as she watches the airships already in chaos, smiling brilliantly.

"Come on! Why are you ponies all trying to resist me? All I want to do is bring love, ponysanity, and shipping! You all need a little love in your lives! I just want to bring that to you!"

Inkwell, Leo, Alabenson

Ack! I've been endjinnied! And-

... ... ... ... ...

-(Looks at Inkwell inside a lamp inside another lamp as her rainbow ink glows vibrantly...)-

And I have no idea what a double-djinni does, but it looks like it's gonna explode. -(Runs)-


*grins evilly*
Perfect...
*portals impending djinnsplosion next to Midnight*
As Fluttershy would say, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEOpr2jai9c



"Being able to dispel my effects, doesn't mean you can effect me." He uses Makin' Bacon Prana to instead bury Midnight in a pile of greasy, hot bacon.

You're right, of course. I think this will prove that I *can*.

*Just as the bacon is coming down to bury her, and Inkwell's lamp is teleported next to her, she suddenly flashes, disappearing...and so does Leo! Midnight Mare appears where Leo was, and visca versa...which means Leo is buried under bacon, and next to a twitching, possibly explosive lamp. To make matters worse, Midnight Mare's horn glows...and Leo feels a near uncontrollable urge to start, ah, making out with Inkwell!


MCerberus, Vent Reynolt:

Operation: Compleatly not my Fault
The Socks keeps its distance away from the shield and begins pummeling it with cupcake rounds. Why was he the only one serious about handing out antidote-34 pills.

"Well, since Luna's doing whatever it is Luna decided to do, let's get some lines of communication open" A scroll is fired towards the proper place to get express mail sorted in the new dark queendom of Midnight.
"Shall I destroy him for you, mistress?"

"Surrender? Why would I surrender when I'm on the verge of victory? Sheesh." Her horn glows, and she scribbles a note, teleporting it back the way it comes. It, quite simply, says "NO."...and has a djinni trap that goes off in the face of whoever will open it!


And so Inkwell has rejected Midnight Moon. All of the pieces are in place. Here is what my plan is:

In fairness's sake, I did not read this.

Orbital Friendship Cannon Discussion:
Okay, to be honest, I'm going to have to say no to this, for a few reasons:

a) There's no way I could have known that, since it was a couple of threads back, and nopony else did either.
b) The OFC has been fired a couple of times since then.
c) My hands are already full dealing with everything and everyone else here, I didn't really expect to be fighting *nearly everyone on the thread*.

So, for now? It's just the normal OFC, your alterations are not complete.

Midnight Mare watches as that spurned goddess appears before her, revealing herself in all her glory! She raises an eyebrow...and yawns softly.

"Are you done? Because, you know, I'm not intimidated by the wings or the alicorniness. Oh, and by the way, Dark Orchid is my color."

And to be completely honest? I'm not really sure I appreciate the 'My character could totally wipe the floor with yours if we were playing for reals' comment, too.:smallfrown:

Unrelated to the airship, but too awesome not to post. Mainly because it stars Granny Smith as Ma Baker.

[Kris Strife]

You're right, of course. I think this will prove that I *can*.

*Just as the bacon is coming down to bury her, and Inkwell's lamp is teleported next to her, she suddenly flashes, disappearing...and so does Leo! Midnight Mare appears where Leo was, and visca versa...which means Leo is buried under bacon, and next to a twitching, possibly explosive lamp. To make matters worse, Midnight Mare's horn glows...and Leo feels a near uncontrollable urge to start, ah, making out with Inkwell!


Leo effortlessly moves out from under the falling bacon, a golden glow appearing around him as the universe skips like a broken record, the shipping effect leaving him unaffected. "Problem princess? Oh, I think you forgot this." He knocks the lamp up with one hoof, then bucks it back to Midnight.

[Thanqol]

... welp.


Oh, don't be silly. Even with all the power that has been granted to me, I will be a benevolent overlord. You shall know joys the likes of which nopony has ever experienced before! Under my kind guidance and firm hoof, the thread will experience peace, love, and a surplus of harem pants that will last generations! Sure, many of you might not recognize yourself once my reign gets into full swing, but be assured that you will grow to enjoy your new positions and forms!

Yes, under I, Midnight Mare, the shipping and ponysanity will last forever!

"Mmhph mmph mmph."


Okay, now, you're almost certainly exaggerating now!

"Mmmph!"


Eee! I like attention! Pay attention to me! Please? I wanna be written about! PLEEEEEAAAAAAASSSSE???

Would you care dropping a personality/bio for Inkwell in the thread in case I ever get a pressin' need for an artist pony?

...That's it, the metaphorical gloves are coming off. I still have one more ace up my sleeve, and its raw power should at the very least counter your shipping magic. Igor, THROW THE SWITCH!

Orbital Friendship Cannon Discussion:
Okay, to be honest, I'm going to have to say no to this, for a few reasons:

a) There's no way I could have known that, since it was a couple of threads back, and nopony else did either.
b) The OFC has been fired a couple of times since then.
c) My hands are already full dealing with everything and everyone else here, I didn't really expect to be fighting *nearly everyone on the thread*.

So, for now? It's just the normal OFC, your alterations are not complete.


He he, fair enough. I just wanted to see how much I could get away with there. Not all complete, but I demand that everypony now has a party hat! :smallbiggrin:




We have 2/6 of the ponies as eldritch beings. Lets do the others.



Well, I remember people mentioning Fluttermancers a few threads back. People who demand that all love Fluttershy, or else!

[TheAmishPirate]

Airshippery:

Amish bravely stands his ground against his shipped crew; his pie-pistol is getting a workout today. He's about to dramatically throw the empty weapon at the advancing crew when his cyborg friend pulls an excellent distraction maneuver.

Now free to go about and do captainy things, he decides the best course of action is to stop blundering about and do something. What exactly? Not too sure about that, but it probably involves steering the ship straight for Midnight Mare herself. Yeah, that sounds about right.

He takes the wheel and makes a beeline for the ship-crazy Midnight. "Avast ye scurvy landlubbin' princess of landlubbin' landlubbers! The Amish Pirate hisself is coming! Argh! Hoist the mainsail! Batten down the hatches! Walk the plank! Keelhaul somethin'! Yo ho ho and a bottle of forum-appropriate soda! Er, Polly wants a cracker!" He's still a far ways off, but closing fast, and spouting pirate-y phrases all the way.

The creator of the G4 ponies, Lauren Faust (http://fyre-flye.deviantart.com/), has a doll line of her own, the Galaxy Girls (http://milkywayandthegalaxygirls.com/). While I'm not interested in dolls, toys or action figures, some might. Thus I'll post image dump, Galaxy Girls edition.

[InkwellPony]

Would you care dropping a personality/bio for Inkwell in the thread in case I ever get a pressin' need for an artist pony?

Sure thing! Inkwell is artistic and creative with a bit of a heroic streak, and a far larger clutziness streak. She will generally try to stay out of trouble, but trouble has a tendency to find her. Even though she's made up of all colors, she prefers the color blue (which also happens to be her predominant color). She will generally be doodling in a near constant fashion, and gets fidgety when she doesn't have the ability to.

Her talent gives her control of rainbow ink - and rainbows in general - in a similar fashion that a green lantern's will allows them to make green constructs. She doesn't do it often though, as this is incredibly tiring for her, not to mention draining as she is mostly composed of rainbows much like most creatures are mostly composed of water. That is, if you're going off this version, and not another version as portrayed by other writers.

[Titanium Fox]

Jesus, people, I'm only one pony! Okay, same as before:

Airships:
*Midnight Mare practically cackles with glee as she watches the airships already in chaos, smiling brilliantly.

"Come on! Why are you ponies all trying to resist me? All I want to do is bring love, ponysanity, and shipping! You all need a little love in your lives! I just want to bring that to you!"

Inkwell, Leo, Alabenson






You're right, of course. I think this will prove that I *can*.

*Just as the bacon is coming down to bury her, and Inkwell's lamp is teleported next to her, she suddenly flashes, disappearing...and so does Leo! Midnight Mare appears where Leo was, and visca versa...which means Leo is buried under bacon, and next to a twitching, possibly explosive lamp. To make matters worse, Midnight Mare's horn glows...and Leo feels a near uncontrollable urge to start, ah, making out with Inkwell!


MCerberus, Vent Reynolt:


"Surrender? Why would I surrender when I'm on the verge of victory? Sheesh." Her horn glows, and she scribbles a note, teleporting it back the way it comes. It, quite simply, says "NO."...and has a djinni trap that goes off in the face of whoever will open it!



In fairness's sake, I did not read this.

And to be completely honest? I'm not really sure I appreciate the 'My character could totally wipe the floor with yours if we were playing for reals' comment, too.:smallfrown:

Haybuck blinks a few times from his relatively protected place in the anti-shipping shelter, thinking to himself. Thinking to himself how if he was going to be anywhere near Canterlot during this absolute ponysanity, that he might want to be on the winning team.

He then shakes his head, glancing around to see if anypony else was in there with him, trying to spurn the thought from his head.

"Seriously debating defecting here guys... Come up with a plan that works! I have a family to worry about."

She gives a most unpony growl of irritation.
"I've had DarkOrchid since I knew it was a thing, you little upstart. This will be over quickly."
I'm really sorry if I offended you with that. :smallfrown:
It's just that my characters tend to be waaaay overpowered in this kind of situation. She is literally beyond goddess level if she needs to be. But if Midnight is meant to be that powerful as well then she can totally win without using the fact that I/my character is not used to fighting people with actual abilities worth worrying about.

So in conclusion, my character is very powerful, but I don't expect or want to win, I'm really sorry for offending you, and feel free to win by matching power or exploiting her derp, whichever you prefer.
Also, as an apology, me and Rainbow shall offer hugs.
http://i52.tinypic.com/2h3ace0.jpg

Also just for the record, I don't mind the colour OOC or anything. Also she has a second ship note, as in my avvie... would you rather that wasn't mentioned to avoid 'huh?' There was a second one in thread somehow, and I snuck off with it at some point...

[erikun]

Well, I remember people mentioning Fluttermancers a few threads back. People who demand that all love Fluttershy, or else!
It's a statement, not a demand. You are going to love her, whether you want to or not.

I've heard that the original reason Lauren Faust went to Hasbro was to pitch for a Galaxy Girls cartoon. They ended up asking her if she was a fan of MLP during the interview, and she ended up writing the first two episodes of Friendship is Magic instead.

[InkwellPony]

Leo effortlessly moves out from under the falling bacon, a golden glow appearing around him as the universe skips like a broken record, the shipping effect leaving him unaffected. "Problem princess? Oh, I think you forgot this." He knocks the lamp up with one hoof, then bucks it back to Midnight.

As Leo's hoof comes into contact with the lamp within a lamp in order to kick it, there is a resounding detonation as rainbow chaos fills the air, spraying color in every direction and flooding the immediate area with wild magics that for whatever reason turns everypony splattered into multiple technicolored bunnies!

Non magical rogues can do it in 3.5, why wouldn't a magical, god killing, living weapon character in a much higher powered system be able to do the same? :smalltongue:

There is a reason why summoning and turning manes and tails into bacon is the only offensive move Leo has made. :smalltongue: And why his reason for showing up was supposed to be to investigate the Summer Solstice incident, and then follow/stalk Luna as her parole officer. Oh, and drive Twilight crazy by turning her mane into bacon. :smallbiggrin:

Sigh...lost internet about 10 minutes after getting up this morning, and so couldn't go through my routine of catching up on pony thread. *Now there are 9 pages to slog through. *Pony thread, why are you so fast? *Luckily you are always entertaining at least.
If you let go of the whole "OHNOHOWWILLICATCHUPIHAVETORESPONDRIGHTNOOOOOOW!" it's kinda fun to go through all of this stuff.


...Do you realize how dirty that sounds?

Yes. I also corrected it wrong; adding that D totally ruinedthe sentence structure XD

*ahem*

Metal Maskette continues to struggle...
And from above, a lamp, emblazoned 'TALESPINNER' falls towards Leo


:

Read this last night in a fit of insomnia. I'm dyin' to see what happens next (though I think I know what happens next). Very nice.


6... pages... HRRRRKKKKKKKK!

Curse my studies. They conspire to keep me from ponies!

Maybe I should do a SiuiS style quote fest later.

Do t, it's fun!

Also;
STARRY NOTIONS' GUIDE TO THROWING THE ENTIRE LIBRARY, WHEN THE BOOK IS NOT ENOUGH

I operate under some handicaps, specifically, the following.
Any more than eight tabs doesn't work. The newest, ninth tab spontaneously replaces one other tab, keeping the total at eight. It does this randomly.
Any more than 3 open tabs drastically increases my chance of a reset, where every tab refreshes, and my cache clears itself, getting rid of any text, quotes and multiquotes.

So, here are my steps.

Multiquote: try to keep track, as there is the ten-quote limit. This is a general 'by feel' thing.

Respond: when ready, hit the respond button. Select all text. Take note of what the top quote is; usually the post name and first sentence would work.
Note that if it's a busy page, you are better hitting 'quote' than going up or down to 'respond'. Oddly enough, you WILL NOT have that post quoted. Multiquotes seem to have much higher priority.
Either way, hitting the BACK button will put you right back where you left off, so you can continue.

Paste: drop the entirely copied post into notepad. Sometimes, in the middle, you will only have like, 6-9 quotes, leaving some old quotes at the top. You want to select those quotes in notepad (this is where remembering the top quote of the browser page comes in handy) so you overlay the new post on top of the old, to avoid redundant quotes.
This is because select all is much easier than scrolling through the browser window at Steelix speed, where I can scroll notepad like a boss.

Repeat: continue these steps until you get to the end of the thread. Trust me, once you've done this, catching up on the page or two that pops up in the interim is cake; you WILL quote faster than they type.

Respond: it's a lot easier to answer all these once you've got them in a single document. So go to town! You risk forgetting what your witty response was, though, and forgetting what pictures you were lookin' at.

And that, my friends, is how I threadwarp and catch up.


I stay unshippy though pure willpower, this also renders me unshippable. for I am the silence, the quiet, and I am at peace.

I could totally make a romance story out of that but I'm sure you'd rather me not do it.

Okay, so I've read through. For the Elements of Ponythread fic, I have: Kyouhen, Titanium Fox, RdMarquis, mikeejimbo, Vent Reynolt, and Grif who want to be a part of this, and Soft Serve does not. Any other definitive yes/no's from anyone? I have a plan that can utilize all 41 ponies listed, so don't feel like there's not enough space. :P

I volunteered Solace to be shop owner, but I think that was in the post the boards ate last night, so I just went to bed.

So hey! Solace Stone, Pegasus shop owner, available for service.


Not so much as it resonates in the subconcious of the minds of the living, causing unease; something in the harmonics, I think. (A bit like how a baby's cry is designed to be a bit distressing to the human ear to serve it's intended purpose.)

so maybe, just maybe, deciding at age 4 that my one weakness would be emotional manipulation and control via music and song was a bad idea.


Let us just say that I have been wargaming and roleplaying for twenty years, and all my wargaming and roleplaying takes place in the same universe (with a few exceptions for some pre-written modules I run) and I am a complusive world-builder. That universe also pre-dates my wargaming and roleplaying days to pretty much as far back as one can go.The Aotrs stuff I cite is usually quoted from the relevant documentation (as is often, everything else).

(As an idea of the lengths I go for such things, if you go to the Aotrs Shipyards, you will find pretty much everything has a description *of in-universe function and history; which but a snap-shot from the race's own rather more lengthy history (and physiology) documentation. Or there's always the History of the Dark Wars (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=160127), archived on this very forum...)

You are one of the most awesome and classy gents I have the pleasure of knowing.


You are free to, I believe the phrase is "go nuts" with my likeness. As is, always and forever, everypony else. Whenever a certain young author pony can perk up a project for you, don't even feel the need to ask permission. Well, within reason.

Well, now I have to ask. What qualifies as within reason?


And now I know! *And am impressed. *20 years in one universe? *Very nice. *Do you refluff the built-in races in various wargames so they match your universe or do you normally just play games that have a less established fluff?

Also someone put up an animated version of Twilight getting trampled by Dash in the first episode. *Out of sheer curiosity I popped it open to see what Twilight looked like in the split second she's being moved off the screen in a massive rainbow blur. *This is what I found:


http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34015682/Ponies/OhGodsWhy/HappyAmbushTwilight.png
Anyone else think she seems just a little too happy about being suddenly run over by a rainbow?


See? What have I told you since thread IV? Rainbow Dash was totally flirting with Twilight Sparkle. And apparently, Twilight likes the attention.


Amish stops the firing, stroking his chin-scruff thoughtfully. "Aye, now there's an idea!" He aims the pie-launcher directly at the balloon. "Hand over the hat, or I send the lot of us down this conveniently bottomless chasm. Also, ARRR!"

-(Eyetwitch)- That gave me about a thousand ideas a minute there, and i am not terribly comfortable with my mind combining My Little Pony as the EMPOWERED forms for a group of power rangers. I don't even like power rangers anymore...

Ow..im up. I'm up. Skyrocket, what happened?
Long or short Version?
Short please, my head hurts.
You were hit in the head with a lamp. while you were out i freed SiuiS and stopped the airship from crashing. Then that sexually deprived Midnight pony went mad with power AAAANNNDDDD is treating to cover the world in scantly clad genies. Also it appears the other Airships have joined the skies.
Oh... Are we still the largest airship.*
By a long shot. Wait don't tell me....
Get your bikini top and short shorts. *ponyard pulls on a long flowing coat with a flaming pony skull with a pair of spiked shades.*Prepare to combine.

Oh CRIKEY.


I would, but instinct tells me if I go along with your plan it'll ultimately end up with me running in circles. On fire.
Also I feel naked without a convieniant rocket launcher to hand.

Good instincts. On both accounts.


Well, to be honest it's not as though I really have time to play along nearly as much as these sorts of things deserve. I think that's part of the initial appeal of Phoe!Bondage. Moreso than any potential salacious aspects (calm down, Bobcat :smalltongue:), it lets me be the macguffin instead of a central character, and get to participate without feeling like my schedule and energy levels are dragging down the rest of everypony's fun.*

I mean the thing of it is, mfrmhmblerfffghble! *gets dragged off by a mysterious shadowy figure*

Quit yer fidgeting, I've got a plan!


Perhaps, but kept WHERE? Does Celestia have them? The mane cast?

They manifest when needed. The represent the magic of the heart.


So we have Shimmer now. Excellent; soon, we can begin to set my plan into motion.

Hmm, a tempting offer, so much potential corruption; but no, I must remember my long term plan.

And so Inkwell has rejected Midnight Moon. All of the pieces are in place. Here is what my plan is:
With Inkwell and Shimmer as hostages, we will propose a trade. Inkwell for the Ship Note. In order for this to work, we must convince Inkwell to feign having a change of heart. Inkwell will pretend to be in danger and be willing to join Midnight Mare. Midnight Mare won't be able to try anything unusual because we still have Shimmer, and she wouldn't dare endanger Shimmer.*

Even if the trade somehow fails, we will still end up with Inkwell as an informant and ally near Midnight Mare. With a sufficient distraction, we should be able to *coordinate an event that will buy Inkwell the time to take one of the artifacts from Midnight Mare.

Does anypony have any objections? Anypony besides Shimmer, of course.

Well, I've got me own ideas, but we shall see.


OH, MIIIID~ NIIIIIGHT!

I have your Shimmer Snowflake. In exchange for you coming off the power trip, and relinquishing dreams of conquest, I'll give you all needed info.

Also, this.

"All those customers in those airships."

Low-Key pops up from behind the stand.
"Ooooohhhh Nice selection. I'd like one cupcake stew please! Oh, right..."
He yells up at the airships.
"Hey Amish! There's something on your back!"
And sure enough the crew member that was grappling Low-Key a second ago is now hugging Amish tightly.

A small drop of rainbow coloured liquid falls from the sky and lands directly on Low-Key's nose.
"What the hay...?"
*KA-BUNNY*
:smallannoyed:

[darthbobcat]

Well, to be honest it's not as though I really have time to play along nearly as much as these sorts of things deserve. I think that's part of the initial appeal of Phoe!Bondage. Moreso than any potential salacious aspects (calm down, Bobcat :smalltongue:), it lets me be the macguffin instead of a central character, and get to participate without feeling like my schedule and energy levels are dragging down the rest of everypony's fun.

I mean the thing of it is, mfrmhmblerfffghble! *gets dragged off by a mysterious shadowy figure*

Alright, let me make it clear: I don't like bondage, but the occasional reference doesn't irk me. It was when it was Bondage Month that I got annoyed.

*Spits Coffee*

There was a bondage month?!

[PhoeKun]

I think we've finally broken Phoe.

Mmph. :smallfrown:



Well, now I have to ask. What qualifies as within reason?


Anything that could be posted to Equestria Daily. If it crosses into the border of unacceptable for there, I'll be kind of upset if you try to hide behind, "but you said I could do whatever!"

Or to be slightly more clear about it, I don't have any dignity for anypony to rob, but please don't abuse my blanket ok for permission to use my likeness in explicitly gory or sexual works.


Alright, let me make it clear: I don't like bondage, but the occasional reference doesn't irk me. It was when it was Bondage Month that I got annoyed.

Yeah, I know it was just an over-saturation thing back then. I was just trying to be playful, while also attempting to offer reassurances that I wasn't about to start trying to push things to the levels they were at before.

[EsperDerek]

"Mmhph mmph mmph."

"Mmmph!"

"Now, now, my darling child, I'm in the midst of building a better, shippier world for you! Is it important?" *Midnight's horn glows, and she at least makes it so poor Metal Mask can *talk*.

Airships:
"Is...that one ship firing strange ponies at me? And...is the other one going for a _suicide run_?"

Midnight blinks honestly, and hrmphs. "I just don't see why no pony wants to defect! I'm not bring about Everlasting Night or Day or anything, just Everlasting Love!"

Inkwell&Leo:
*Midnight blinks, as all at once, Leo kicks the lamp, and causes it to detonate into a spray of colour! She's far enough away to not need to take any defense herself. Her eyes narrow, looking at Leo.

"You blew up my Mentor/Friend/Lover/Daughter/Whatever She Is This Week! Sure, she'll grow back, but...you'd better start running, or all of your bull Solar whatever won't save you from me.

Lix Lorn:


She gives a most unpony growl of irritation.
"I've had DarkOrchid since I knew it was a thing, you little upstart. This will be over quickly."

Midnight Mare smiles playfully at Lix Lorn.
"I don't see why you're so angry, I thought you'd like what I was doing! I'm spreading love and shipping! Instead of being so angry at me, why don't you join me? I'm sure we'd be doubly effective, the two of us!"
Apologies and hugs accepted and returned. Yes, right now, Midnight Mare is supposed to be excessively powerful, considering she's powered by about a dozen of the most potent artifacts this thread has created. :smallsmile:

MCerberus:

"I wonder what kind of witty remarks she has for avoiding the casual tea party our victory assembly will have..."

The Admiral reads the note and is temporarily disappointed by it.

"Well that's... wait why am I in a Stallion-thong?"
*popped into lamp*
*lamp popped into Midnight's possession*

Midnight smiles gleefully as the lamp pops in beside her, and into her possession.

"Wow, I have to remember that trick, it worked so well!

OOC Note:
I love how Grif had the way to defeat Midnight Mare right off (Well, close to right off, after trying the shotgun), but everypony has ignored that in favor of trying to kick Midnight Mare's butt in a straight fight. Remember, she is her mother's daughter. :smallbiggrin:

Oh god there's more. Well, that can wait for next time.

But I love watching you turning everypony into djinns.

[Dexam]

*Spits Coffee*

There was a bondage month?!

You missed it? :smallconfused:

You must have been a little... :smallcool: ...tied up.


(Sorry everypony, I couldn't restrain myself.)

[darthbobcat]

"Screw it! I'll defect. Just don't turn me into a Djinn, okay?"

Operation Compleatly not my Fault
The admiral pops up from the lamp and summons a floating cup of neverending tea.

"I hope you're not planning anything mind altering. Antidote-34 and my weekend course in Pink One mind conditioning will make that perfectly useless."

As stuff goes on for a bit, he just sits there drinking tea. "Oh, and you seem to have forgotten something."

"YOU ARE GROUNDED, MISSY."

Im-Impossible! Nopony can withstand the ponyfied Bowie barrage!
I've completed the override of the OFC's defense program. May I have my muffin now?
Excellent, of course you may. *places a muffin in the Equestrian Innovations Muffin Acceptance Slot* And now, Midnight, feel the power of the ponysane science of friendship!

Geeze, Phoe, way to stifle my creativity. :smalltongue:

wow, bobcat. That's kinda...

Well, if I thought about it, it would be scquick. Luckily, I'm on neutral/autopilot today. But wow, man.

Alrighty, I'm going to make a confession. I'm... Really not feeling our current shenanigans. I've got a plan, of course, based off of the off-hand comment of "under-sexed mare", but it's entirely dependent on reactions.

So somepony let me know if Midnight takes the bait, or just nukes me and grabs at the McGuffin. the fake, fake McGuffin. like I'm gonna wave the real thing around?

He raises an eyebrow. "And I thought the debees had messed up families. I can assure you it's nothing I did, have you considered the fact that she might be part phoenix?" He takes the hilt of his daiklaive with his teeth and slowly draws the giant, sun gold blade from its sheath, holding it cross wise between his body and Midnight Moon. "And I think you'll have more trouble with me than you think..." He grins, summoning another pile of bacon to land atop Midnight.

OOC noteWhich mother, and what makes you think Leo is actually trying to defeat her by brute force? :smallamused:

Also, you can ask Lix, Leo has done nothing, aside from summoning bacon, that is actually outside a reasonably well built, medium essence, Dawn Caste's abilities. :smalltongue:


[color="darkgreen"]
Yes. I also corrected it wrong; adding that D totally ruinedthe sentence structure XD

*ahem*

Metal Maskette continues to struggle...
And from above, a lamp, emblazoned 'TALESPINNER' falls towards Leo


Just making sure, didn't want the innuendo to go unheeded. :smallwink:
In fact, it might get brought up sooner or later with the current Leo/Midnight encounter. :smalltongue:

Leo remains focused on Midnight Moon, staring her down.

[Kyouhen]

I think we've finally broken Phoe.

Nonsense! She's not broken, she's ascended! To the level of our all-knowing leader! Or at least she's closer to him in knowledge.



Do t, it's fun!

A small drop of rainbow coloured liquid falls from the sky and lands directly on Low-Key's nose.
"What the hay...?"
*KA-BUNNY*
:smallannoyed:

The best pirate you've ever heard of:
Amish struggled in the bear hug of the shipped crewmate. "Avast! Do me eyes play tricks on me, or is that a proper legion of scallywags wot needs a hug all the way down there?"

The crewmate looked overboard, and, realizing the ship was flying with no visible means of propulsion or lift, fell straight down through the deck. Cartoon physics; the most deadly non-lethal weapon known to ponykind. He'd have to get that hole fixed before they lost all their "ship-go-floaty" material.

What was he doing again? Oh, right, the frontal assault. Although...it would look a lot more fitting if the ship was barrel-rolling. Yeah, that sounds just crazy enough to work! "Hang on to your circuits, Mr. Droid, the air's gonna get a mite rough! YARRRRRRHARHARHARHAR!!!!" With a twist of the wheel, he took the ship into a dizzying spiral. They were now just seconds away from crashing through the palace/airship/whatever where Midnight was!

OOC: Yes, the ship is flying through sheer force of will, ancient Amish shipbuilding techniques, and crazy awesome, why do you ask? :smallbiggrin:

[MCerberus]

And well, yes, I was kinda shooting for squick. Because I wouldn't write it in a bazillion years.

Wait, that implies that someone, somewhere understands the current RP. I checked out half-way through Air-Shipping and my brains curled up in a ball and refused to look at the djin madness.
