My Little Pony 42: Life, the Universe and Ponies

[SiuiS]

Where is the green text? Who are you and what have you done with SiuiS!?

(also, yeah, Operation Faust update would be nice. I have to get a visa and book a flight and all that jazz)

Using a solid color for my post instead of as a sparse accent is against the spirit of the rules on over formatting. It makes it difficult for other playgrounders to read and respond to, and it makes potential moderator action difficult if such action is needed. I avoided saying anything because it seemed petty, but Kyouhen is going to need to rein in Low-Key.

Speaking in black is kind of oppressive though. I'm probably moody.

SiuiS is on, did you get my letter? is operation going smoothly?
Personal Bronycon check list:

registration: check
Holtel room reservation: check
Ticket to boardway: uncheck
creating a new line of fashine wardrobe because Kairaven totally dresses in style?: so totally uncheck.


---------------------

OFC has such.... impersonal touch. plus you don't get to see your victim's confused expression as you attempt to hug them to death.

Operation: Faust is beleaguered but we are still trying. Our core group developed a bunch of spontaneous obligations, so I'm currently attempting to handle housing, transport for Diego from airport, and of I can get numbers up through Bronies of Northern California the Main plan might still be going on.

Am I not good enough? :<
ElixiaLorn

Yay! More Poni~

I WISH I was that awesome without trying.

There was also a dropped quote where I went "thanqol is posting sparse... And is also a Lix lorn. Hm."

Share Braeburn with me? :3

...

I'm... Not seeing a downside...

TheAmishPirate, and I can echo the advice already given. Look up guides, play defensively, and lasthit like a boss. Unless you're support. Then you should just be a general nuisance.

We should totally do a ponythread match one of these days. We seem to have enough players lurking around to fill a single team, if not, dare I say it, a second one.

Maybe. But when I say "learn to play" I mean on the 'does this game use a keyboard?' level. Plus, I'm working with quite the handicap.

I support the creation of a Ponythread team. Or just playing a game is cool too, I guess.

<Fact sphere> FACT: Listening to music from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic while drawing ponies makes your drawings 20 or more percent better.

[Grif]

On ponythread League of Legends, those of you who frequent IRC should know we have quite a few who plays LoL.

Off the top of my head:
Lixie
Neoseanster
monkeyboyinc
Vinyl (Not sure who's his/her Giant's account)
Tectonic (Just started I believe)

I myself are not really keen on starting LoL. I'm not even sure if they have servers for my region.

Another clip of the finale has been released. Nothing we don't already know, so only a minor spoiler alert for this one.

My Little Pony dolls, rampant product placement notwithstanding, were suggested as an option to President Clinton way back at the beginning of last summer on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me.

[Thanqol]

What! I was never planning to murder Thanqol!
Ook!
Alright, I may have been planning to have Igor subdue him so I could run a few...dozen experiments on him, but murder? Never!

Murder Thanqol.

At this point, its the only thing we know how to do. Sorry Thanqol.

The solution? Restrict the only method of murder to death by hugs and love.

Murder Thanqol, obviously! Once he's dead, murdering him is no longer possible, and thus it can no longer be a solution to problems!

Also totally murder the ninjas.

challenge accepted

I hate democracy.

On the topic of Thanqol, I postulate that time viruses are similar to hiccups and that we shock it out of him.

Purple. Hooves.

Alright, who's next?

Well, we'd better let Braz join in, else the downside becomes our broken, slaughtered bodies.

Maybe. But when I say "learn to play" I mean on the 'does this game use a keyboard?' level.

Protip: Use the keyboard. xD

Que Sera, Sera.

I myself are not really keen on starting LoL. I'm not even sure if they have servers for my region.

You can play on any servers. I play on the american ones.

[Grif]

You can play on any servers. I play on the american ones.

I tried playing on American servers with DotA 2. And a lot of other online MMOs/MP games (WoW included.) The experience have been less than pleasant. (Mainly due to the bizzare routing my ISP subjects to any US-bound traffic, causing the latency to hover at an average of 500ms with 5% packet loss.)

In the same post I thought "this is thanqol" when it was Lix Lorn, and "this is Lix lorn" when it was Thanqol.

Well, we'd better let Braz join in, else the downside becomes our broken, slaughtered bodies.

But then we're fighting over Braz and are back at square one!

... That said lemme ask you suck. Know how hard it is to draw with one hand?!

Protip: Use the keyboard. xD

It appears Equestria has been building the wedding up as much as we have. Either that, or somepony's special talent is "moichendising".

...Darnit. I was afraid he'd come back wrong. Okay, so what I think we need to do now is remove the offending spirit from the vessel (i.e., body) and start from scratch. Anypony have one of those tube thingys you use to drain a fishtank with?

[Silverraptor]

Been meaning to read the next chapter for a couple of days now. I think it's the one sad fic I can handle reading.

Image dump time! (many of these are quite large)

I'm wondering if I should change my ponythread element to "Element of Image Dumps". I think I was too hasty in claiming poison joke.

Hm.... does that require a ritual or something? Are we using retraining rules?

Maybe you'll have to pay for a stat reset item.

Ugh, lame.

These pictures are pure win. Take an internet for each of them.

You realise of course I was setting this up for you.

Offff Course you did.

So how many more League fans are there in this thread?

Ugh, fine, you got me. I've been looking at the game on and off for a while now, guess I'll go ahead and take the plunge. I just signed up under the name Eakin3, I'll play around with it a bit this weekend. Anypony feel free to toss me a friend request if the game uses those, I'm sure I'll be begging for help within the next couple days

Allow me to direct you all to this thread. Quite frankly, I'm disappointed you all didn't go there on your own.

Also, I'm sad you didn't put me down in that list Grif. (Despite the fact I have a Shen LoLstat picture in my signature)

Seeing how folks seem up for it, I'd be willing to help get things set up for a ponythread LoL group. Tomorrow I'll compile a list of usernames (and put them on that ponythread list we have) and see what I can do. Maybe collect Skype names too, see what else we could use that might be helpful. If folks have Steam, we could use that to help send out calls for matches. [/throwing ideas at the wall]

But that is tomorrow. For now, I must collapse into my bed after a week's worth of solid coding marathons.

*flop*

EDIT: And then I get ninja'd by a thread what's already doing all that. Still, I'll see what I can do for ponythread-specific matches.

My opinion of it:

I don't really like the voice they chose for Discord it doesn't really sound like him at all sounds more like Wheatley than Discord an even then. And who is the core on the far right at 0:47 supposed to be i know it Goes Fabulous Core (Rarity), Party Core (Pinkie Pie), Fluttercube (Fluttershy), Chellight Sparke (Twilight), Derpy Core (BaldDumboRat's Derpy Hooves), aaand...blank...seriously I've got no clue. Though i do love the CMC being turrets that made me laugh. But all in all I'm am looking forward to it almost as much as the Royal Wedding i heard it's supposed to be 45 minutes long!

In response to all the LoL Ponythread stuff. League is currently undergoing a really bad derp session and friendlists, messaging and such seem to be non-operational.



Also i shotty Hecarim. I will enter every game with the battle cry of FOR GREAT FRIENDSHIP!

[Excession]

So wanted to pose a discussion topic as my last post before I have to leave for a few days.

Now our blog princess Phoe has promised us a ponynet explosion coming out of the Royal Wedding. So since I will not be here for said explosion I thought I'd post up some wild speculations on possible causes so in no particular order...

Royal Wedding Explosion:

• A Mane Character Dies!
• Celestia and Luna are deposed/abdicate/die/sealed Cadence now rules Equestria!
• Discord escapes and stays free!
• Derpy speaks... and has a new name!
• Vinyl spins this ****!
• Fausticorn saves the day!
• A robot is revealed!
• Its the Very Definitely The Finale. There is no Season 3!
• Mane 6 are now the Mane 7!
• Luna does not appear!
• Reeeeeboooooooot!

Also some business, with a season finale I have to allow the possibility of upswing in activity and may not catch the next thread turn over. So if somepony who posts on the first page could carry over the ponymotes in my absence I'd be much obliged.

I want to play this game.

• One of the CMC gets her cutie mark.
• All the CMC get their cutie marks.
• One of the CMC dies saving Equestria.
• This entire season really was Twilight's Discord induced fever dream.
• Future Cadence kills past Cadence.
• Cadence is Discord.
• Cadence is Twilight from next Tuesday morning ten years from now.
• Shining Armour is Twilight from next Tuesday morning twenty years from now.
• All the ponies kiss. Yes, even them.
• AJ reveals her absolute yet forbidden love for pears     .

Speaking of Lyra fics, are you reading Background Pony?

Background Pony is awesome. I'm not sure exact what Chapter Two was on about, but I'm pretty sure it was awesome.

“Under the Northern Lights” by Sieurin

Does that picture contain Reindeer?! I'll be giving this a read.

So, after spending half an hour sorting through their blind-bags in a hopeless search for a Fluttershy and Applejack, I gave my name and email address to the nice girl in the toy store so they can tell me when they get more in. She didn't seem surprised at all. I later found a Fluttershy in another store. For now I have 5 or 6 with Rose standing in for AJ.

[SlyGuyMcFly]

I agree. Ponythread team, make it happen! Our thread princess supports it, so should you! :D

Guess I should get working on that NA account I keep putting off.

At any rate, allow me to advertise a different event here. A writing event, which you may have heard of not too long ago.

Why yes, it is the /fic/ write-off again.

One winner. (of a sort)

Do join and and liven up the event!

I meant that list to include those who frequent the IRC but may not necessarily post here.

So then, ponythread. I have a little request to make.

The sheer amount of orbitally-dispensed coherent friendship employed in here lately has prompted me to try my hand at my own spin on the concept. For personal use, should the need arise. It's not much, and I've already handled the design, but I lack one absolutely crucial thing. A caption. What I have now almost, but not quite, exactly fails to impress.

If the combined creative cortices of the ponythread could catapult a couple of caption choices in my general direction, I'd be very much obliged.

Hah, that certainly qualifies for witty. Wouldn't it be better to say "wanted to see" rather than "want to see" though? Well, either way works. I'd still like to see what the ponythread can think up, if you don't mind.

As above, so below
A castigated fox weeps
And slinks away

Poems are fine
But don't fill the heart just right
And so their pattern crooks

Is there anything as sad
as a fox unfit
In his own court

Perhaps, just perhaps,
A poem in sorrow left incom

Well, we'd better let Braz join in, else the downside becomes our broken, slaughtered bodies.

And the fox will come
And sit in a broken room
And nuzzle his lost.
