My Little Pony XLVIII: I say Ol' Chap, how about those Equestrians?

Wow that is a lot of updates, gonna have to figure how I want to space them out. (Daily, I'd imagine)

Ahh Corn. It may partially be a yaoi con thing but someone did a amv spoof using dialogue from Aqua Teen Hunger Force with Dr. Weird and Steve talking about something but the scene is a guy doing naughty things to another guy using an ear of corn. Of course I can be wrong.

Appropos of nothing, I have a request for those who have the wherewithal. Can you stat yourself in (new) World of Darkness core? I'm trying to see if I have a good enough understanding of it to display actual people. If Anypony is up for it, try to use the minimum amount of experience possible (preferably 0, but we've it some exceptional folks here, some with notches in their belt, ad both). And I displaying is an issue, I actually have an open PM box! Which is marvelous. I'll have to make note I how liberating that is and keep it up...

Anyway, please and thank you. Have a good night!

Given that I'm still earning XP at a reduced rate for youth, it's rather difficult to stat myself up. But, hey, I'll give it a whirl anyway. Mostly copy-pasted from Thanqol, because, dang, Thanqol, stop being like everypony.

Also, I started out going by the rules, and then tossed the rules out and just assigned what felt right.

[Beacon of Chaos]

So Cadance is associated with an upcoming toyline called "Crystal Empire". Just like the current toyline with Twilight and Celestia is "Canterlot" toyline.



Time for wild speculations ponies!

What is the Crystal Empire?!?! Will it be in Season 3? How will this change FiM?

Ooh! Neat! The season 3 opening episodes perhaps?

Looking at the toys, they have the "pony rainbow collection" which consists of the mane 6 plus a green Big Macinotsh look-a-like called Emerald Ray. New male character joins the cast?

Spoiler

Also in the Crystal Empire set are "glimmer wings" ponies. A new type of pony that resides in this mysterious new empire? Who knows?

Spoiler

How exciting!

Incidently, who is who?

Oh, uh, well we were waiting on people to post their consent, just in case they didn't want their picture on the net.

I can tell you that VorpalBob is the one with the cool hat and the guitar (he's posted his videos in this thread so I'm sure he won't mind), Brazen Shield has already pointed herself out (Hint: She's the only female) and SiuiS is the one next to VBob with the green hairband and wild mane (You were okay with this, right?)

bike update for anyone who cares. it was definitely the rear derailure.

unfortunately I'm going to have to take it to a shop because the crash damaged the rear brake and may have screwed up one of the tires

Ouch, that's gonna be expensive to fix, right? The last accident that I had with a bike resulted on the front wheel folded at the middle and that was pricey...

[MCerberus]

Wait a second, Crystal Empire, warped ponies, and now they're sending in Cadence to be the empress.

That's likely how Crysalis happened!

[Luka]

Yeah, from Venezuela

[SiuiS]

Incidently, who is who?

Vorpalbob, Starry Notions, Dewdrop, [waiting], Raindrop, [waiting], Brazen Shield.

The brothers were bragging over Skype, complete with pics, so I have no trouble naming them. And it's cool Diego; I've dropped my picture here before ^^

Ugh. Sucks, but at least you didn't taco your tire. At this point it might be cheaper to get a new bike...

My daughter has one of those glimmer wing ponies, the Cadence one I think? She hasn't been playing her ponies much lately, save for the three non-comb-able ones of Applejack, Twilight, and Pinkie pie which she apparently has assaulting her Lego toys. Dunno why AJ keeps ending up with Celestia's crown.
I should ask her that.

I just assume Crystal Empire is a toy line for now and wait to see what Season 3 says, if anything. Glimmer wings kinda remind me of the flutter ponies from the older generations though...
Oops. Speculation!

[Zigg'rrauglurr]

That's what I had to do with my crashed bike...

replacing wheels can get pricey (i'd just replace the bike the thing is so old and worn) but they're often very much repairable. if its just a couple of spokes that are keeping it from true, its pennies for the parts and 20$ for the work.

[Forum Explorer]

Heh, an amusing thought is that the glimmer ponies are the ponies version of zombies. They become bright, sparkly and thoughtless.

Of course this is all random speculation. But guessing is fun.

[kpenguin]

Yeah, from Venezuela

I think the Bakuel thing is probably closer to the correct answer here.

Hard to really say, though.

- You easily have 2 in all your social attributes. You are capable of holding coherent conversations with people on the internet. I know too many people who can't even do that. You also definitely don't have composure 1.
- One dot of Academics is 'did poorly in high school'. You've easily got 3.
- Do you know how to google the answer to hard questions? That's a dot or two in Investigation. I specifically don't have that because I'm neurotic about getting other people to look things up for me.
- Do you know the difference between judicial, executive, and legislative? That's a dot in Politics.
- Play a lot of FPS games? Dot in firearms.
- Are you a coward/good at blending in/a face in the crowd? Dot in Stealth.
- Do you know the trick to open a door with a credit card? Larceny.
- You have convinced me of things in the past. Two dots in persuasion. You write good horror. Dot in intimidation.
- Think broadly about what kind of connections you have for merits. You've probably got more Internet connections than me given how healthy your DeviantArt following is.


Even if you lack the confidence to do any of this IRL, that's better represented by a flaw. On the internet you're a convincing and articulate guy.

You know I've been trying to follow this line of discussion and concluded ponythread should totally get a WoD RP going at some point... though I'd prefer oWoD pretty generally I've seen little things I wouldn't mind trying out in new. Just can't remember them at the moment though...

However they appeared only when WW realized that we were dying to play with raging catgirls.
Cue Hengeyokai, and you have the most hilarius mismatching groups ever.

Seriously no D&D mismatched ragtag band of adventurers could hold a candle to my group consisting of a weretiger (forgot the breed's name), one Kitsune (best pranker ever), one werecrow (forgot that one too), one wererat and two Garou...
Ooh good times, the crow aiming sh*t to the eyes of a kumo warlord while my tiger in full rage mode stomped itself against a tree because the rat had been a smartass and bited my tail...
While the kitsune distracted the Kumo guards with an improved standup comedy act that had the master giggling like a schoolgirl.

Indeed. I basicly just say "Yeah, there still around, but the werewolfs were realy good at the whole "mass extermination" thing, so there realy, realy rare. Two words: cajun werecrocs. Also, wereturtles/werebats/wereboars/ect are still around, but I have yet to find a meaningful way to introduce them. Or find meaningful stats, for that matter.

I personaly thought it was halarius that if you so much as moved east, the entire spirit world is completly different and you had to deal with such things as slightly more common weresharks and corrupted giant spiders and all that jazz. Also, completly different vampires.

Hope it ends up being a cheap fix. My experience is that having old and cheap bikes is better anyway so people don't steal them or any parts from them.
