Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
Probably an issue of the majority of a tags contents redefining said tag in the minds of the populace. A log of what you guys are discussing is [grim] not [dark]. That old ficlet of big Mac dying, and the apple clan honoring him buy insuring his body? That's dark. It's also loving.
Cupcakes? That's mostly grim, with a sprinkle of darkness from trying to be psychological.
Thanqol's recent story about Rarity in Spike's dream? That's dark. It's not grim at all.
Fillystata is dark in premise, grim in execution, but only slightly.
Dark is a tag which denotes revel and celebration of the less red/pink/white end of the spectrum. It is more thoughtful, brooding. Likely to take joy in sorrows. Gothic, one could say.
My Little Ponythread: The Elements of RP
Spoiler
Heheheh, look at them go! I should have thought of this a long time ago.
So, what are you going to do when your ninjas figure out he isn't full of muffins after all?
Eh, I'll blame it on changelings feeding us bad intel and give them extra muffins in the break room.
Dammit, I knew we were forgetting something!
Would you relax, the elements of harmony stopped the rampaging monster before it even reached Ponyville. You should really consider reading those intel reports I keep giving you.
*Meanwhile, in the ruins of Canterlot*
OOK! *attempts to put Lucadore Mask in a submission hold*
Wonderful, instead of Silent Night deliberately inflicting atrocities upon Equestria, we’re now going to have your niece carelessly inflicting them.
Don't worry, I've already portaled over my contingency plan to deal with this.
Let me guess, your contingency plan consists of an OFC barrage, right?
Don't be absurd, the filly's half fire-elemental, the OFC wouldn't have any appreciable effect on her. No, what this situation requires is the subtle, precise touch that you can only get using an atomic supermonster.
Spoiler
*sigh* I suppose I'll just have to stick with more mundane methods of making Silent Night suffer then. *opens portal above Silent Night's head, dumps swarm of carion beetles onto him*
This comment makes me sad for manga.
Mostly paraphrased some of the RPing done around here, that's its more role-play than discussion. What kind of questions get asked here, little dramas that crop up. You know, the usual stuff.
She wagers I'm probably one of the oldest people on these threads based on what people "say".
I think 28 was the average, not counting a few outliers.
Sweet.
Hmm, crap. I seem to have made a mistake with that. I apoligise!
They did revise the difficulty tables for Season 2 after all. I'm guessing we'd be playing on standard difficulty settings, so they are broadly similar in terms of DC for a given task, it just extends higher for the Legendary pony side. (There is also the option to play on "hardcore" mode which raises DC at each tier ).
Looking at some of the examples given, I think some of those could belong in the next category up or down.
I think I'd treat them as guidelines more than gospel examples.
Spoiler10. Beyond Even Legendary Ponies; Discord Only.
No Check Required; Impossible (Or 20 Only)
Complete control over the environment, global manipulation, random day/night changes
9. Even Legendary Ponies Would Have Difficulty.
Difficulty: 70
Turning Discord to stone, banishing Nightmare Moon to the moon for a thousand years
8. Probably Only Legendary Ponies Could Do This.
Difficulty: 50
Raising and lowering the sun and moon, teleporting across a continent, instantly healing a plague.
7. Normal For Legendary Ponies, Hard For Anypony Else.
Difficulty: 40
Dispelling a mass enchantment, conjuring an unbreakable ward, creating a sonic rainboom
6. Even Special Ponies Would Have Difficulty.
Difficulty: 30
Talking down a dragon, complex aerial acrobatics, casting a difficult spell, hatching a dragon egg
5. Probably Only Special Ponies Could Do This.
Difficulty: 20
Inspiring a crowd with a speech, casting a new spell, out-flying a bird, painting a good portrait.
4. Normal For Special Ponies, Hard For Everyday Ponies.
Difficulty: 15
Making a pretty dress, casting an easy spell, bucking a tree, doing a complex dance move.
3. This Is A Pretty Basic Challenge For An Everyday Pony.
Difficulty: 10
Moving a cloud, caring for a pet, baking a cake, building a barn, drawing a horse-drawn
carriage
2. This Might Challenge A Young Foal, But Nopony Else.
Difficulty: 5 (Or No Check Required; Too Easy)
Painting a wall, gathering flowers, making a sandwich, walking a pet, ironing clothes correctly
1. Anypony, Anywhere, Could Do This With Ease.
No Check Required; Too Easy
Walking, eating, looking at something, getting a book from a bookshelf, putting on clothes.
One of the mechanisms, I think special purpose, let's you add 1/2 your roll to itself, right? So if Starry rolls an 18, it counts as a 27 on the die + modifiers yes?
Mathematically, this may be a pretty swingy system. I'll have to look.
I am now simultaneously hoping that DD is interested, and trying to figure out the potential impacts of a mecha pony on the game
Or I would encourage him to just be a Pegasus. He's now got lighter alloys and a streamlined frame. Either changling or Pegasus base... Oh changeling is AoH. Hmm.

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
Thought for the day: the following season 2 episodes could have been plots by Trollestia to annoy all.
SpoilerReturn of Harmony starts with Celestia taking a pick to the Discord statue to see what happens
Lesson Zero: When Twilight starts freaking out, Celestia just takes a 'wait and see' approach when Spike reaches out to see how far it would go
Luna Eclipsed: "Here's how to behave in public, pay attention Luna"
Sweet and Elite: Celestia decides to throw a few upper-crust ponies towards Rarity and record what she gets up to for comedy night
Family Appreciation Day: Let's see what happens when we plop some random ponies in a clearing right next to a Timberwolf den
Last Roundup: "No no, there's no ethical reasons you should oppose your princess' desire to take away all first-place finishes for Applejack."
H&H Day: Hey you know that potion that Celestia has every reason to know nearly destroyed Equestria? Better print that in all sorts of books
It's About Time: And now to create a stable time loop for my student to freak out about
MMMystery on the Friendship Express: Guess who the REAL cake-nommer was!
Canterlot Wedding: "Hey Crissy, I've got another boring formal event... could you do something to spice it up so my niece has a lot of memories of it?"Ask me about our low price vacation plans in the Elemental Plane of Puppies and PieSpoiler

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
Could somepony give me an update on this whole roleplaying thingy? I kinda wanna join in...
EDIT: I just realized that I wrote "somepony" instead of "someone" or "somebody". Exactly how bad have ponies corrupted my mind now?Last edited by Maxtronaut; 2012-08-16 at 10:47 PM.

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
These pictures are all excellent. For some reason I can't get the Lyra one to load all the way though. It keeps getting stuck on just her upper half pointing and the gyarados.
Nice! Did you yourself make it on camera anywhere?
Eh, that wasn't really what I meant. You can always do anything in any system given adequate XP and optimization plus a little creativity. My question was more about how each system makes you think. Like, if you handed both Heroquest and Roleplaying is Magic to a total newbie, told them how to make a character, and then asked them to solve a challenge, would one system be more limiting than the other?
They managed to create a money-draining black hole in t-shirt form. That's cool I guess.
I dunno, I write somepony all the time. It's pretty standard around here, so I doubt you're too badly corrupted. Besides, no humans here anyway, only crazy superpowers an assorted ponies (and a few ponies that claim to be human because they're crazy).

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
I honestly have to say I find it rather flattering that somepony's developed headcannon related to my OC.
That also comes fairly close to my orginal concept for Professor Boffinspark as somepony that develops amazing creations, but doesn't fully understand how they actually work, and masks said lack of understanding with incomprehensible technobabble.
Let's see (this should be...interesting);
SpoilerSilent Night was teleported from Bleakmane's ship/base/something to a cult base that had been ransacked by Professor Boffinspark's ninjas. However, Boffinspark had left several of his Derpy ninjas behind, and told them that Silent Night had muffins hidden inside his ribcage, as a result hilarity ensued (from Boffinspark's perspective anyway). Meanwhile, Silent Night's half fire-elemental daughter/Boffinspark's niece Charnel has apparently been appointed head of the cult, to which Boffinspark responded by sending a giant ice monster after her. Nightcore managed to fend it off, the end result of which being that she was promoted to co-cult leader by Charnel, and that the monster ended up being portaled to Silent Night. Following that and an obligtory OFC barrage, Silent Night managed to get Professor Boffinspark to admit he needs a new set of weapons (which Prince Regeln refuses to allow him funding for), so the Professor revealed that he's gotten into the business of creating giant atomic monsters, the latest one of which seems to terrify Silent Night.
Also, Igor is currently engaged in a luchadore wrestling match withMetalLuchadore Mask in the ruins of Canterlot.
In other words, it's complete ponysanity at its finest.If brute force isn't working, that just means you're not using enough of it.
When in doubt, set something on fire. If not in doubt, set something on fire anyway.

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
silent night and boffinspark are at each others throats again. boff seems to have taken up sicking monsters on ponies.
charnel, the little sister of boff's wife i think, has taken over the cult.
tiki snakes has some kind of shadow creature now. not sure what the deal is there.a tiny space dedicated to a beloved grandpa now passed. may every lunch be peanut butter-banana sandwiches.
i has 2/4 an internets.

The Vimes: BLT..2 varieties
--Bachelor: LOTS of bacon, 2 tomato slices, 1 piece lettuce
--Married: 3-4 varieties of lettuce, 6 tomato slices, 2 bacon slices
Foul Ol Ron: grilled limburger + another stinky cheese
Carrot: head cheese...just seems like something a dwarf came up with
Angua: BBQ Tri-tip
the Black Ribboner: Portabella Mushroom
the Cpl Nobbs: Scrapple...since no one really knows what it is 8)
the Sgt Colon: Fried Bologna..simple common meat for the simple common man
the Dibbler: a sausage sandwich
the Rincewind: some sort of chicken sandwich
Luggage Legs = hot wings
the Wee Free Men: a shrimp po`boyPonies not only make ME want to be a better person than I was before they entered my life, they make me want to HELP OTHERS be better people too.
And that is a GOOD thing by any definition.

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
I'm human, and I'm not crazy! Though considering I gave serious thought to an 8 hour drive and subjecting myself to a convention, I have to wonder how addicted to video games I am....
Though, to be honest, I'm starting to wonder if I'm a closet fan and I haven't realised it yet.
There are other shows that certainly interest me far more, but in this day and age of cartoons, My Little Pony does so many things right that I can forgive it for the sugar overdoses. The characters are entertaining without being mindless, and the gags are genuinely enjoyable without appealing to adhd. It's certainly not a bad show, and I'm willing to admit that about it.
Further more, at least as far as I can tell from you guys, the fan base is actually pretty cool. Furries still scare the hell out of me, and I'm going to shank anyone that comes up to me fully dressed in a horse suit, because what the hell else am I supposed to do, but overall you've all been entertaining and fun to be around.
I suppose, even if I haven't fully finished the first season, I've jumped from being aware of and trying to see what it's about, to having a bit of an understanding and a tolerance for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. And maybe somewhere inside, there is a little space in my heart for it. I suppose time will tell.Last edited by INoKnowNames; 2012-08-17 at 02:07 AM.

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
..... You made up for with that joke. I had to throw my head back and laugh at that one. I like imagening I'm my favorite characters or such, so I can't judge you for that.
And nah, It wasn't all you. I had my headphones on but nothing else was playing, and I suddenly started hearing "part of the crew... part of the ship"... and I about pissed myself. Yeah, you were fine, I was just caught off guard by suddenly hearing **** when I'm the only one awake.
Besides, how is a Pony supposed to use that? You'd crush it if you punched it on the floor or held it with one... hoove, is it? Besides, the buttons are too small for your huge hooves.
Not to mention this bad boy.

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
Think you can defeat me with logic, do you? As it so happens, I completely agree.
I assume that a pony controller would work kind of like this.

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
I sure as heck enjoy using Logic. Even if something defies logic, it still acknowledges a Logic to defy. Even the insane have their own logic. It just doesn't match ours. Which can really be said about all sorts of differences in perspective, now can't it?
That Pony Controller, have fun using it on a Smart Phone or a Laptop.
And I'd like to see you execute a Quarter Circle Back Half Circle Forward in the middle of a combo with the ol' stick, and not break the damn thing over time, if not immediately. God, now I wish I could play the leaked version and get in a combo with Apple Jack...
I still give you a point for another laugh well earned.

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
Let's be honest. If being a fan wasn't such a huge damn deal, with people choosing sides like Jacob and Edward at burger king, would you care a lik about whether you were a fan or not?
There are other shows that certainly interest me far more, but in this day and age of cartoons, My Little Pony does so many things right that I can forgive it for the sugar overdoses. The characters are entertaining without being mindless, and the gags are genuinely enjoyable without appealing to adhd. It's certainly not a bad show, and I'm willing to admit that about it.

Otherwise, yeah, creepy suit people getting all personal space invadey I understand. Although the fursuits I have actually seen were pretty badass. Although the German Shepard whose mouth moved when it's wearer spoke was kinda... Creepy. Creepy would e the word. And also cool. But yeah.
I suppose, even if I haven't fully finished the first season, I've jumped from being aware of and trying to see what it's about, to having a bit of an understanding and a tolerance for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. And maybe somewhere inside, there is a little space in my heart for it. I suppose time will tell.
Pretty certain there's an actual difference between a pony and a horse. Or.... Oh! OOH! You're doing that thing where you assume that showing a dislike of something to the point I not being able to distinguish it from another thing is insulting. The one where casual disregard for someone and how they're present themselves proves your worth is greater than theirs. Yeah, sorry. We here in ponythread tend not to really acknowledge that as a worthwhile tactic.
God, don't do that. That's creepy as ****.
God that thing sucked.
Organic robotics. Their hooves are like coffe grounds in a silicone vacuum sealed casing, the winged ones can use those as digits and unicorns have magic.
Not to mention this bad boy.
Now dreamcast, that was a controller.
