    that's the gest of it, little first person story snippets, like what I did on previous posts. it's sort of grimdarkish so I figure if the interests are there, we'll bring it to another thread.

    here's the write up of basic rules:

    This is not exactly a game, but a thread for imaginary writing set in an Alternate My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic universe.

    Basically you take on a persona (ponysona) and write in first person perspective of the adventure or situations you may face in the story setting.

    A couple guidelines (restriction)
    - Write in 1st person perspective, in the style of noir, or pulp if you can.
    - Your ponysona should be one of the following when possible, active/rookie/retired law enforcement, private eyes, or smalltime crime pony. Investigating or committing a crime to start.
    - Although set in alternate MLP universe, you will never directly interact with the main casts of ponies (the mane 6, CMC, Trixie, Zecora, Celestia, Luna, Spike) You can write about some distant activity they perform that affect your story, or interact with their hench-ponies.
    - Background pony and is allowed, but if someone else already placed a background pony in a role in their story, try to keep their role consistent
    - If your story has your ponysona interact with another writer's ponysona, then either let them write their part of the interaction or do some writing coordination.
    - Violent imagery should never be directly described, keep it PG-13

    Settings:
    - The majority of the story is set in alternate Ponyville, a Criminal town controlled by several Crime Families. For the purpose of this setting, Salt=alcohol, sugar=drugs, apple/pie=weapons/alternate sugar supply

    Crime Lords
    1. Fluttershy controls Eastside Ponyville mainly with her smuggling racket and exotic animal slave labor, but she has a bit of dealing in almost every trade. She operates mostly near the edge of Everfree Forrest, with good deal of ties to Zecora's weapons supply, the largest Crime Family in Ponyville
    2. Pinkie Pie is controlling the pastry operations in the Westside of town, the second largest crime faction after Fluttershy. Normal pastry is a food staple for ponies, but her pastries have high concentration of sugar, which becomes very addicting. She also trades in confection sugar. (Note that pure refined sugar is usually too much for a pony to take, hence why it needed to be cut with corn starch to make confection sugar) There is cruder, less refined version of sugar, usually in crystal form, nicknamed “rock” that is cheaper but not as good in quality. Pinkie does not deal in rocks.
    3. Apple family, mostly Salt/Apple supply business, but they have members all over Equestria, and therefore has the largest supply chain, but a small share of the market.
    4. The Cloudsdale Race track controlled by Rainbow Dash, mostly deal with gambling.
    5. Madam Rarity - high-class pony escort business. She’s good to her ponies and has some muscles for protection, plus some highly influential clientele.
    6. Cutie Mark Crusader Gang, headed by 3 young fillies, a growing gang that deals in most small time crime, they mostly recruit troubled, directionless, young ponies that have not yet gotten their cutie marks, although some members do have them, but choose to stay with the gang. The term "Blank Flank" is an insult to them when spoken by non-members.
    7. Trixie, the mysterious Trixie is the head of "The Thread", an underground information network that caters in information about anything and everything, for the right price of course.
    8. Zecora, “The Zebra” operates within Everfree forest, and has a good supply of mercenaries for hire and weapons of different kinds for sale; she may also deal in information.

    Government:
    1. Twilight Sparkle, Hand of Celestia. Though she appears to be in cahoots with each and every Ponyville Crime lords, she is actually a spy for the government that leaks criminal operation info to the Equestrian Guards, or to try exposing corrupt officials to the Night Watchers, although some believe she also tips off the crime families to sting operations. Her position is a tight rope walk and her loyalty are unknown, which side is she really for?
    2. Spike, The Judgment of Celestia, is an up and coming Federal officer of the law that untiringly arrests the criminal elements. He gets his info from Twilight, via secret dragon-breath communications. Some say he has a soft spot for Madam Rarity.
    3. Celestia, The ruler of Equestria and therefore the commanding officer of Equestrian Guard. Her duty keeps her from being able to do anything substantial against the Crime Lords, plus she's also committed to rooting out government corruptions, and day to day operation of Equestrian government, which makes her immensely busy.
    4. Luna, the Night Watchers, if Celestia's Equestrian Guards operate within the law, Luna's Night Watchers don't, Cloak and Shadow is their game, they are the spies, that roots out corruption from within, or assassins when the need is there, basically they are CIA. And therefore if their operatives are exposed, all governmental knowledge is denied.

    Equestrian wide organizations: (optional)
    1. The Guild of Chains - a shadowy organization of some influence with sinister goals, nopony know exactly what. Has come recently into some internal power struggles, so the rumor say
    2. The Army of Cut Rope - another murky organization, only thing anypony knows is that they oppose the Guild.

    She had trouble written all over her face, if I didn't misremember my Mandarin. She probably thought the tattoo meant hope or peace or something; there's some real shysters out there.

    She was a blonde, the leggy type. Four of them, to be exact, being a pony and all. She had the kind of body that would make any red blooded Equestrian stallion take notice. Not me, though. I have a crush on a certain pony whose qualities are a bit more rarefied.

    My name's Spike. I'm a private eye.

    Long overdue thoughts on Semper Fidelis:

    -Not sure who said it, but I think Big Mac is taking a bit too kindly to Soarin. Think about it like this: This is the pony that your little sister met in the big city, spent a day with, and hasn't shut up about him since then. Even if I trusted my sister, I would be watching this guy like a hawk.

    Now, Big Mac is a reserved and laid-back character, so whatever suspicion he has will not be as noticeable. He's just a little too friendly with him right now.

    -Absolutely nailed Applebloom. Adorableness...off...the charts...

    -Good call warning your readers right off the bat that this story is different than IASiP.

    Overall, good start. Your pace at writing this stuff continues to impress and make me totally jealous.

    Hey, everypony! I've decided that my fic is taking too long, so instead of once-a-week updates, I'm moving to twice a week. However, with the turnaround on ED, I think I'd be e-mailing the new chapter the instant the previous chapter got posted. So, here's how I will be doing it. EQ will be getting 1 e-mail with 2 chapters every Monday. However, here in the best forum, you guys will be getting Seeeeecret Friday Updates (yes, like Minecraft Alpha, only not as awesome). This will keep me on task better, and hopefully, means the fic will actually ever get done.

    So, here's Secret Friday Update the First: An Old Mare's Tale, Part 10

    Parts 1-9 can be found on Equestria Daily
    (Some evil bronies have gotten me down to 4.5 stars. Vote 5 and return me to my former glory! )

    Oh my gosh that would be amazing.

    does this thread have the three post rule???

    and is this what your looking for when you say noir style:
    The common aspects I see in noirs: You need a male protagonist, a femme fatale (a desirable woman who's charms lead the protagonist to his downfall), a heist that goes horribly wrong, murder, and finally the femme fatale getting away home-free while the protagonist suffers.

    ...nno, it's another mad side project (like bondage, video game, serial noir, pony week, etc) of this thread. Sort of alternate reality, you see? Exploration what could have been had FiM was Film Noir?

    You absolutely don't have to take part, but if you'd like to, you're welcome

    Settings:
    - The majority of the story is set in alternate Ponyville, a Criminal town controlled by several Crime Families. For the purpose of this setting, Salt=alcohol, sugar=drugs, apple/pie=weapons/alternate sugar supply

    Crime Lords
    1. Fluttershy controls Eastside Ponyville mainly with her smuggling racket and exotic animal slave labor, but she has a bit of dealing in almost every trade. She operates mostly near the edge of Everfree Forrest, with good deal of ties to Zecora's weapons supply, the largest Crime Family in Ponyville
    2. Pinkie Pie is controlling the pastry operations in the Westside of town, the second largest crime faction after Fluttershy. Normal pastry is a food staple for ponies, but her pastries have high concentration of sugar, which becomes very addicting. She also trades in confection sugar. (Note that pure refined sugar is usually too much for a pony to take, hence why it needed to be cut with corn starch to make confection sugar) There is cruder, less refined version of sugar, usually in crystal form, nicknamed “rock” that is cheaper but not as good in quality. Pinkie does not deal in rocks.
    3. Apple family, mostly Salt/Apple supply business, but they have members all over Equestria, and therefore has the largest supply chain, but a small share of the market.
    4. The Cloudsdale Race track controlled by Rainbow Dash, mostly deal with gambling.
    5. Madam Rarity - high-class pony escort business. She’s good to her ponies and has some muscles for protection, plus some highly influential clientele.
    6. Cutie Mark Crusader Gang, headed by 3 young fillies, a growing gang that deals in most small time crime, they mostly recruit troubled, directionless, young ponies that have not yet gotten their cutie marks, although some members do have them, but choose to stay with the gang. The term "Blank Flank" is an insult to them when spoken by non-members.
    7. Trixie, the mysterious Trixie is the head of "The Thread", an underground information network that caters in information about anything and everything, for the right price of course.
    8. Zecora, “The Zebra” operates within Everfree forest, and has a good supply of mercenaries for hire and weapons of different kinds for sale; she may also deal in information.

    Government:
    1. Twilight Sparkle, Hand of Celestia. Though she appears to be in cahoots with each and every Ponyville Crime lords, she is actually a spy for the government that leaks criminal operation info to the Equestrian Guards, or to try exposing corrupt officials to the Night Watchers, although some believe she also tips off the crime families to sting operations. Her position is a tight rope walk and her loyalty are unknown, which side is she really for?
    2. Spike, The Judgment of Celestia, is an up and coming Federal officer of the law that untiringly arrests the criminal elements. He gets his info from Twilight, via secret dragon-breath communications. Some say he has a soft spot for Madam Rarity.
    3. Celestia, The ruler of Equestria and therefore the commanding officer of Equestrian Guard. Her duty keeps her from being able to do anything substantial against the Crime Lords, plus she's also committed to rooting out government corruptions, and day to day operation of Equestrian government, which makes her immensely busy.
    4. Luna, the Night Watchers, if Celestia's Equestrian Guards operate within the law, Luna's Night Watchers don't, Cloak and Shadow is their game, they are the spies, that roots out corruption from within, or assassins when the need is there, basically they are CIA. And therefore if their operatives are exposed, all governmental knowledge is denied.

    Equestrian wide organizations: (optional)
    1. The Guild of Chains - a shadowy organization of some influence with sinister goals, nopony know exactly what. Has come recently into some internal power struggles, so the rumor say
    2. The Army of Cut Rope - another murky organization, only thing anypony knows is that they oppose the Guild.
    I'll think about it. It does sound like fun.

    Who's side am I on?

    Hah. I wouldn't tell you that even if I knew.

    I'm on everypony's payroll. Fluttershy pays me to make sure Rainbow Dash doesn't get herself into any trouble, Rarity employs me to make sure that Fluttershy's going to wind up kippin' with the fishes (well, more often than her job requires), Applebloom wants me to keep an eye on Scootaloo, and Pinkie has me making sure Gummy isn't on the take. I've got more masters than Shimmer at a bondage convention.

    And, thing is? They all know it. They all know how many pies my hooves are in. They all know that I'll swan from crime lord to police chief, selling secrets and telling lies all the way. Everypony knows my reputation. Everypony knows my style.

    I guess it's something about the mask, that faceless, eyeless, soulless mask. It makes me seem trustworthy. Makes me seem legit. It has no business doing either, but it does anyway. Applejack's normally such a good judge of character but one look at the mask and she's certain that I'm working for her and her alone, and every other job is just part of her intelligence network. Celestia help me, this mask is the only thing keeping me alive. And I've got no idea how it works.

    Maybe one day I'll wake up and it won't work any more. Maybe ponies will look into my eyes, or lack thereof, and realise they're talking to a liar, a traitor, a fraud. Maybe the music will stop and everypony will realise, all at once, that they took away the last chair hours ago. Hay, not 'maybe' - it's absolutely bound to happen, bound tighter than a Guild of Chains Chief Exec'. All it needs is one pony to wise up a bit and that's the end of Metal Mask.

    So what the hay am I doing here?

    I looked in the mirror this morning. Looked at my own reflection, looked that blank mask in the eye myself. And I knew. I knew that I had a reason. I knew that I had a plan. And I knew that it was so secret I couldn't even tell myself.

    I guess if you can't trust anypony, trust yourself.

    And if you can't do that, well. That's when the trouble starts.

    My name is Metal Mask. I do trust.

    Speaking of the video game, can anyone find the document? I can't find it in my bookmarks, which means it's either been deleted or I've accidentally removed it from my bookmarks (in which case I request a link). If it is the first one, I'm very glad I copied and pasted the whole thing in anticipation of the event (though it may take a while to get the formatting back in order and the links to the soundtrack will have to be re-added).

    There it is. And when I went to bookmark it the tags were already there, and after bookmarking it it was back in the same place as it was before... Weird. I have no idea what just happened. I think my laptop may have trolled me of its own accord...

    Not a clue. Are we both referencing the same thing?
