    You know what? I don't honestly care how much of a crush the Commander has on you. If you want to risk destroying your mind and bringing about the end of your backwater little planet, who am I to stop you? Pick any damn mask you like, or don't and stay as nothing more than Sundancer.

    I'll deal with her pouting about it if and when it becomes an issue.

    "Fine. Let's try this one!"

    Sundancer takes down something that looks kinda like a Mexican wrestling mask and pulls it down over her face.

    "I AM LUCHADORE MASK!" she roars in a voice deeper than any mere pony throat could manage, muscles bulging with infernal energy, "I HAVE THE POWER TO WIN ANY FIGHT, SUPLEX ANY MONSTER, AND THROW MY OPPONENTS THROUGH THE DOME OF THE SKY! WHO AMONGST YOU IS A WORTHY CHALLENGER?"

    The best part is how everybody in MM treats the crazy possessed mask thing like its totally normal. Majora's mask plus moon falling, totally crazy insane weirdness, but all the other magical masks are just a part of daily life.

    You realise the alternate type of kidnapping either involved bits of you being cut off and mailed to your relatives, or you simply being murdered without so much as an explanation?


    You know what, it doesn't matter. You've made a choice, we're done here.

    Er, uh. Hi there. Did you want to know about the castle here? It used to be the capital a long time ago, but now it's actually outside the borders of our current kingdom. Not too many ponies come here anymore, but it's great for studying and you can practice without setting anypony on fire! Well, except yourself I guess, and maybe you now that you're here. Not that I would set you on fire, of course.

    Uh, how do you do? I'm Quantum Mareuit.

    Were I Celestia/Luna/remotely present, I'd have taken Discord's statue, shattered into bits and dumped the fragments into a volcano. Or at the very least, dumped it into the deepest part of the sea or send it to the moon or space or something (lobbing it out into the void seems pretty well within abilities) and then no amount if discord is going to break him out if he's drifting petrified in the depths on interplanetary space with no sentient/sapient creatures within a couple of light-years or something.

    Space is really, really REALLY big. I'm not even going to bring up the Hitchiker's quote this time. It's also really, really, REALLY empty.

    If you chucked Discord on a trajectory out of the system, the statistical likelihood is he would not encounter ANYTHING. At ALL. EVER. And be floating slowly out of the solar system into empty space until the universe ends.

    There are no analogies big enough to describe the relationship in size between a, what, six-foot lump of rock and the size of entire universe.

    You would be unlikely to find him even if you were looking for him, and even if you knew exactly what exit vector he went off on. Do you not recall how many sci-fi stories and stuff point out that you can't find a floating man, lost in space? That's entirely correct. This is exactly the same.
    You're wrong.

    Prove there is a space that is infinite, and then we'll talk. But your go-to solution might not work in this instance.

    Also, random tangent. In my first 3.5 game as myself, magic user extraordinaire, I ended up doing basically this very thing. Noun the man's living soul in a tortured, undying body in a timeless, eternal prison guarded by everything I could bind or create, lashed into a jewel and bequeathed to a divine guardian.

My specialty has always been finessing tertiary and unrelated systems into a useable an unpredictable tool. Getting mad because your enemy doesn't play by physics is just as valid as your enemy getting mad at you by not playing by the Rules f Honorable Engagement.

    Look. Practical experiement. When you next go outside for a walk or something, take a straw and a piece of cardboard and paper with a hole in it to put the straw through. Get a pebble or something, find a field (or perhaps, if you want to be clever, some bio-degradable thing that floats and a duck-free pond). Lob said object to the best of your abilities, and then try to find it again - but you're only allowed to use what you can see through the straw.
    Falls apart when drawing that bauble from memory and pulling it out of the paper is a valid method of retrieval.

    It is just not statistically plausible that anything that small lost in that big a space is ever going to encounter anything at all.
    I've had an entire existence wherein my main power was huge intellect and the ability to bend odds to my will. It was fun, if exhausting.

    I also tend to generalize Onotangu from legend of the five rings in with the actual Japanese mythos.

    Chinese myth had 14 suns, each about the size of a jumbo beach ball. They weren't all powerful. They were just jerks until they got shot to death.

    And the moment he does escape, you're right back to square one, given that distance has no real meaning to the spirit of chaos. So all you've accomplished is likely spent a great deal of time and resources storing the statue in a manner that's ultimately no more secure than leaving it in the garden anyway.
    There is no basis for Discord's imprisonment weakening due to the elements passing to new owners, or to being a continuous rather than instantaneous effect.

    There is likewise no reason to believe the elements of harmony are the Biggest Baddest.

    That's a bit like arguing that an object is flammable because it would ignite if tossed into the sun. The example is simply too extreme to build a useful argument around. Discord might not be completely omnipotent, but he's close enough that the distinction is irrelevant.
    Different materials have different temperatures at which they evaporate, ignite and explode. Some objects will burn before they evaporate, some explode before they burn, etc.

    It is entirely possible for an object to be disintegrated completely before burning at all. So where r not it burns is a meaningful distinction, however asinine the assertion may be.

Just because something is hyper dimensional and has the [aberration] tag does not make it an unfathomably horror, no matter how insane it is.

    Well, sorry to be the downer here folks, but better we self regulate before the Modguin wakes up.

    *Spritzes the RP-in-spoilers bottle at the thread*

    Sheesh, with the amount of spontaneous RP in this place, you'd think we were all completely insa ...

    Ok, well that explains it.

    Back to the part where I ask everyone for GMing tips; I know Thanqol's mantra that successful RP's are made or broken during the character creation stage. I'm thinking of starting recruitment soon, even though the RP is at least two months off, just so we can have a bit of a discussion around character types and how the group may work together.

    Am I jumping the gun here? (Also, is anyone else interested? )

    I'm not having much luck identifying potential quests and things. I keep tossing around ideas but just thinking "Well, it really depends on what kind of ponies these are"

    As food for thought, have a poem I found that I think I'll use as part of the OP for the game;

    Spoiler

    I read within a poet's book
    A word that starred the page,
    "Stone walls do not a prison make,
    Nor iron bars a cage."
    Yes, that is true, and something more:
    You'll find, where'er you roam,
    That marble floors and gilded walls
    Can never make a home.

    They aren't your anything partner if they aren't willing. If they are willing, it's not a kidnapping.

    Involuntary spectators? You can bring them to the match, but you can't make them watch. Not without magic, anyway.

    And as for luring your Rival for a final showdown, if you have already kidnapped him then there need be no showdown, simply kill him whilst he is at your mercy and throw his lifeless body from the damn. Preferably in pieces.

    ...why am I even discussing this with you?
    That's it, I need a latte.

    Which game was this, again? What's the pitch?

    The Pony PbP game I've been wanting to participate in for so long that I got fed up and decided to try running it

    As for the pitch, it comes in varying levels of cheesy depending on your appetite. From least silly to most;

    • It's an adventure/journey trip about trying to find your way home set in the wider MLP verse and tone of fics such as "Dangerous Business", "Off the Edge of the Map" and "One Last Quest". Making liberal use of the Where the World Ends wiki.

    • It's a story about the small decisions that, thanks to simple fate, sometimes have an impact that vastly dwarfs our expectations.

    • It's a story about four ponies, stranded on the far side of the world, who might find that getting home is very different from going home.

    • Travel the world, meet interesting people, save and/or destroy Equestria in the process.

    That's the primary reason why I run anything.

    I'm actually interested, particularly if it's a more serious take. Depends on a number of things, particularly other players, but put me down as interested.

    Great, all this Okami talk has make me want to make an OC that is a spirit/element of Rejuvenation. Although one wonders if her presence would put in a dent in all the havoc that goes on occasionally. Randomness is fine, but chaos not so much.

    Sounds like a pretty interesting game, though I'm curious about how your two different pitches interact. A traveling home journey, to me, is not usually the best place for tiny decisions making a big impact because you don't have time to hang around any one locale and see how you tiny decisions influence others over a long time. Random powerful ponies wandering into new locations is more of a big decision kind of thing.

    But, to answer your actual question, 2 months is fine, just make sure your players are engaged and discussing stuff and if everything seems to be ready early, try to be prepped to start early.
