    And a drummer! But you must be comfortable with drag.

    Unless you already are a mare.

    Which kind of ruins the effect.

    A thought. Could amniomorphic spells be used for things, like, say... opening eggs?

    I'm the hype pony.

    ...

    So uh, I guess I should be building hype. They're... they're... uh. 20% cooler than the leading band?

    There was also the singing of drinking songs, EXERCISE OF THE ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE, and repeated murder and reincarnation.

    Holy CHEESE, this thread moves way too quick when I'm busy. Anyways, on to... stuff... and junk.

    To SiuiS, I believe you asked this - I'd be honored if you made a poster out of my Magician Card, that'd be so awesome. ^^

    Yes, Midnight is to be blamed for everything that ever happens. EVER. For it is her fault. Eyup. I read it on the internet, so it must be true.

    Anyways... umm...

    Happy Nightmare Night Eve Pre-Week Extraviganza and... umm... stuff!

    Depends. I don't think for a unicorn, cloudwalking is a change to the unicorn's body (unless youre running some sort of Pegasus hoof charm) so much as changing interaction with clouds.

    Whether or not this makes sense is another matter entirely. My brain is full of Magery. With dashes of pony.

    Good sir Droid of Druid's skills, I propose that this post doth be mine own firm example of where to begin our wager. The 19th minute of the 19th hour, ten hours removed from the clock of our great Principality. If thou art willing, this one, ever thy humble servant, doth propose that we count our wager as 90 posts within a span equal to twelve hours.

    Is this agreemable to thy sensibilities, O Driaocht? That is; this post happened at he same time as our wager. Sound like a good marker?

    Well that's more than I knew 5 minutes ago.
    Unfortunately most of the links and files she sent me were destroyed in the great My Computer Sucks disaster of a couple months back so the most I can do is provide some links to a few weird movies like
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTAox...source=message
    and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zHCPjGGx0Q and offer my own highly opinionated advise on anime. Most of what she tells me is unfortunately lost in my sleep deprived brain cause its usually when my iPod dies 6 hours into our over night shift.

    League of Legends. The champions are Graves (has a shotgun) and Karthus (is a lich).

    The next week was a blur of activity. Preparations were made, plans constructed and dismissed and rebuilt from scratch, everything rehearsed in perfect detail until every last bit of it was ingrained in my mind. Luna was with me through all of it, her sweet voice reciting the instructions, her hoof indicating points of importance in the structural blueprints of important buildings, her starry blue aura wrapped around quills as she drew out diagrams and charts. For what must have been the millionth time, I marveled at just how intelligent she was. Everything was done from memory, with no hesitation or pause, each detail perfect in presentation as she went point by point through her mission parameters. She was still obviously troubled by the fact that it had come to something this extreme, and more than a little bit worried.

    A small, hopeful part of me (to my mind’s eye, it almost looked like Fluttershy of all ponies, which shows you how disturbed I really am) wanted to believe that the worry was for my well-being. But, as my little bastard was positively gleeful to point out, it was just as likely that the worry was over what would happen if my mission failed.

    The morning of the day I was to set out for the Eyrie, Luna herself came to my bedchamber. A small cardboard package levitated in the air behind her as she cast a critical eye around the small room. It was spartanly furnished, with more or less only a bed and a sink, but every horizontal surface was stacked precariously with books of magic. Even the ceiling had some tenants thanks to a reverse gravity spell, and I saw genuine amusement peek its way through the stress in her eyes as she spied them.

    I stood to attention before my Princess, a slight flush creeping onto my cheeks as I realized just how cluttered and messy my quarters must look to someone as naturally organized and neat as Luna. Truth be told, the flush was also due in part to that little trail of thought which lead “Luna… in my bedroom… my bed… with me…” but that traitorous line was stomped on, hard.

    “G-g-good morning, Princess!” I managed to stutter. My dark little friend facehoofed.

    “Shadow, on today of all days, you should be able to call me by name,” she teased. To anypony else, her tone would have been light and carefree, but after all the time we had spent together, I knew her better, and I could see the lines of tension in her face, her legs, her flanks… FOCUS.


    “I’m sorry P—Luna. I’m sorry Luna.” I hung my head, wishing to just sink through the floor and disappear.

    She stepped forward and nuzzled my shoulder. “It’s alright, Shadow. It’s good to see that you’re still the same pony you’ve always been, even with everything that’s about to happen.” She smiled, lifting a small piece of the gloom which had settled on my heart since that day in her throne room. A sudden, mischievous light appeared in her eyes, and before I could react, she bopped me square on the nose with the package. For some reason, since I was a little colt, something bopping my nose has always made me sneeze violently, and this time was no different. As I fired off a series of sneezes which would have done credit to Pinkie Pie, Luna laughed. Not the forced laugh which I had heard far too many times in the past week, but a true, genuine laugh. It was like being alone in the dark and suddenly seeing the moon emerge from behind a cloud, and as much as I wanted to, I just couldn’t be mad at her despite my acute nasal misery.

    As the sneezing and Luna’s chuckles subsided, I shook my head and looked her straight in the eyes. “So did you bring that box just to make me miserable, or is there another reason?”

    As I asked, the happiness in her eyes faded, to be replaced once more with the tired, tense look which had haunted her fine features for the past week. She held up the box so that we could both see inside, and removed the lid. Laying inside on a cushion of black velvet was a necklace made of blue steel. The chain was broad enough to be masculine but still delicate. The pendant was made in the shape of—what else?—a crescent moon. As I looked, it seemed more and more familiar, until something clicked. “Luna! Is this…?”

    She nodded tersely, levitating the necklace up out of the box. “Reforged from the shards of my… of Nightmare Moon’s armor. All my… her protective spells are still on it.” Something halfway between a laugh and a sob escaped the purple mare’s throat as she stared at the necklace. “So unless they use the Elements of Harmony against you, you should be alright.”

    “I can’t possibly…”

    Her eyes narrowed, an expression of malice shockingly alien on that refined face. The voice which spoke was not the voice of Luna, my mentor and (friend? The little Fluttershy voice asked quietly) companion. It was deeper, more authoritative, with a resonance which shook the stone of my tiny room. The voice of royalty… or divinity. “You will, Shadow.

    There was no arguing with that voice. I bowed by head, wrapping the necklace in my own telekinetic aura. As quickly as the change had come over her, it was gone, and she was back to the Luna I knew. And then she did something which I had never thought to see. She lowered her head, a forehoof kicking absently at the stone floor of my room, and blushed. Like everything she did, it was both elegant and beautiful, and I was suddenly very aware of how fast my heart was beating. “I’m sorry…” she began, in a small voice, “it’s just… It’s really important to Equestria…” My heart sank to the sound of my little bastard cackling. “… And to me…” Well, that shut the little bugger up. “That you come home safely. And if that means using part of… of her, well, then that’s what we’ll do.” She looked up, still blushing beautifully, and I was alarmed to see tears welling up in her eyes for the second time. “Besides, I… I mean, Nightmare Moon… caused a lot of problems for a lot of people. It’s good that now what’s left of her can do somepony some good.” She looked up at me, her eyes shining with an innocent hope that belied her thousand years. “… Right, Shadow?”

    I stepped forward and put my forelegs around her. “Yes, Luna. That’s right.”


    I'm gonna say that this story takes place long enough after S2E4 that Luna has learned to relax around other ponies. And reassimilated modern speech patterns. Not that anypony probably cares anyway. Eh...
    It will be interesting to see how this continues. Very interesting.

    As I say, not having played for a while, specific suggestions will have to wait until I can find an hour or two to go back and work out what the heck I did use.

    Some more general, overall tactical advice (going from memory alone) follows:

    GSB
    Spoiler
    Show

    The unlockable hulls never struck me as being much cop; in my opinion, your best bet is to pick the cruiser hull with the highest number of weapon/equipment slots and go with that.

    Specialist ships are better than generalist. As I recall, most of my fleets were energy-weapon cruisers, backed up by point-defense cruisers (i.e. ships armed with just PD weaponry) interspersed in the front row, and dedicated missile cruisers in the back row.

    In that same line of thought, always have some dedicated PD ships.

    The EM cannons (whatever they were called, the ones that disable enemy ships) are worth a using weapon slot in something like your PD ships.

    Destroyers are okay if you have spare space, but generally I found I used mostly cruisers. (I think I gave the destroyers mostly long-range weapons and stuck 'em in the back row to increase their survival rates.)

    With engines, either go for very fast or very slow (i.e, like one engine). I have had some success with very fast ships armed with really short ranged weapons given orders to close to as close as you can set it, which - if I recall correctly - was inside the enemy's ship radius. Generally though, I tended to go for slow and long range, and let them come to me, which tends to pull a few enemies out of position and allow you better concentration of fire.

    Alwasy set your engagement range to the optimum of your weapons. Ditto for weapon targeting priority for their intended purpose (i.e PD for fighters etc)

    By the same token, attempt to fit the bulk of your weapons into the same range band on any given ship. (I want to say always put at least one PD system on a ship, but I'd actually have to check whether I did that in GSB, though it's my standard practise in all other games.)

    As I recall, I always set my ships to Vulture tactics (maximising concentration of fire is always good).

    Don't spread out, and don't deploy too close. You should be as close as possible so as to support each other without being in potential blast radius.

I'm thinking that if they wanted to make a potter pun, there were far less obscure ways they could have done it, so until one of the writers says "Yeah, that was totally intentional and a huge easter egg pun." I'm going to go with "They chose a word that kind of sounded cool" for an explication.
    Of course, they could have looked it up on wikitionary same as me, though I agree, it is less likely.

    Lauren Faust said that it's because Luna had regained her powers, but she also clarified that since she is no longer in charge it's just her version and not really canon. Still, it's the most official version we've got.

    It's a webcomic! But it's not your average day, ordinary webcomic, no! It's more of a web-experience!

    Basically it's the story of four kids who play a game that forever changes the world. Any more then that would be spoilers. If you start reading, just remember that it gets better as it goes.

    In closing, ponies.

    Huge thanks to Kairaven for my avatar.

    At the moment pony.uk are low on Fan-Fics and could really use some, find out more here.

    Basically it's the story of four kids who play a game that forever changes the world. Any more then that would be spoilers. If you start reading, just remember that it gets better as it goes.

    In closing, ponies.
    Allow me to expand on Tectonic Robot's explanation.
    Homestuck is a Web comic Something (It literally defies classification at this point.) done in the style of old interactive fiction. People suggested commands, and Andrew Hussie would choose one and follow it.

    Act Five of Seven just ended recently (which is kinda a big deal) and It Temporarily removed the Inner pony from me. It's just that good.
    The end of Act Five also had the unintended effect of turning the fandom into one giant DDoS attack which broke Newgrounds for Several Hours.

    Interesting fact!: When My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic first began getting popular on 4chan, Homestuck was too. This lead to a fandom rivalry as both fandoms felt that one was overshadowing the other.

    She has given a lot of information about the show, you can try searching all the comments on it, or, if that seems too daunting a task, go to Ponibooru and look up something like "word_of_faust" or "lauren_faust".
    Fun fact: The season 2 opener was written before season 1 even aired.

    I might as well try this fan fiction writing thing for myself. This is the first (short) part of a MLP-Warcraft crossover fic involving the Burning Legion trying to conquer Equestria. It will not be Flintlocke-style meta-humor (with the possible exception of some of Pinkie's gags), and it will, perhaps surprisingly given the premise, not be "grimdark". This part has Wrath of the Lich King spoilers, and future parts will probably have more recent spoilers as well.

    My Little Burning Legion - Prologue
    Spoiler
    Show


    ”This wasn’t what I had in mind when they told me they had a “new and exciting employment opportunity”, you know.”

    Mal’Ganis sighed. Once he had been one of the most feared nathrezim dreadlords of all, but not any more. Was it really his fault the Lich King decided to betray the Legion? No! And was it his fault his scheme to destroy the Lich King using the Scarlet Onslaught was foiled and he was forced to flee, only to later hear of the mortals destroying the Scourge without “his forces” anyway? Well, sort of, but still, he deserved better than this, he thought.

    His voidwalker minion nodded. “I am inclined to agree with you, master. This place is far too… bright. Of course, that will make it all the more satisfying to corrupt into service of the Burning Legion.”

    The dreadlord grinned. “Right about that you are, my minion, my ever loyal… what’s your name again?”

    “Margrave Rm’kazh’aksharoth-nyx the Void-Veiled, Devourer of Illumination, Hegemon of the Third Shadow-Spire of the Haunted Realm, master.”

    “…I’m going to call you Steve.”

    “Of course you are, master.” Mal’Ganis couldn’t tell if the voidwalker was snarking at him or not, but he assumed it was.

    “So, Steve, I understand you have gathered information about this place? Do share.”

    “This realm is called Equestria. It is dominated by ponies. They are like small felsteeds, but…”

    “Ponies? Seriously?”

    “Oh yes. Disgustingly colourful ponies. There are three main kinds: earth ponies, the commoners, basically; pegasi, with wings; and unicorns, the spellcasters.”

    “Well, that’s even more demeaning. They sent me to corrupt ponies? Well, better do it quickly so I can leave here as soon as possible and get a real assignment. What’s their military strength?”

    “No real military to speak of, just a royal guard for the leader, and some capable fliers and casters without proper combat training. Oh, and…”

    “Like I said, then, time to get going. Wait, you had something else to say?”

    “Equestria’s ruler is an Eternal-level being who controls the sun itself (and that is not even mentioning her sister), and it is also defended by six very powerful champions who have, among other things, recently vanquished an Eternal spirit of chaos.”

    “…and you didn’t think that was worth mentioning earlier?”

    “Now that you mention it, yes. It probably was.”

    Mal’Ganis sighed again. He was certain now, this wasn’t humiliation, it was punishment. Ah, well, it’s not like he had anything better to do. He began to cast a shape-shifting spell. Better start by gaining their trust.

    So last night I had this girl over. We went out costume shopping, had a little dinner, then I took her up to my room...
    And we watched My Little Pony for like an hour and a half.

    After I got done with odder things, I found I was able to make a serviceable humanized Applejack and an eerily suitable (in my mind) human version of Pinkie Pie, down to the pink skin and hair.

    Just wanted to share that you're able to make ponies on one of the most absurd games coming out this year with just the tiniest bit of effort.
    Thank you for mentioning this. I will totally do this when I finally get around to getting Saints Row 3.

    I tried that with my not-girlfriend [insert obligatory frustrated sigh] a few weeks back. She didn't like it. She tried it, at least, and I think she was warming up to it, but she has a deeply ingrained hatred for anything "immature" or "childish", and she couldn't set that aside to enjoy ponies.

    Homestuck is a webcomic. THE webcomic-the best. Not only does it update with tremendous rapidity, it occasionally contains INCREDIBLY awesome flash sequences. it also has a SOUNDTRACK.
    Animated. Webcomic. With a soundtrack.
    It starts a bit slow, but... you won't regret it.
