Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
What I intended to say was if nopony found even one such work in two weeks, then I would draw a pony, but if they did I would be forced to read it; though on checking, my sentence was nonsensical because there is an extraneous "and" and of course, it was a rare occasion when I didn't proofread it properly...
I was apparently giving the brony fandom faaar too much credit.
*reads*
Well, at least I suppose it at least villifies Discord, so there's that. But... *eyeglow roll*
Just over twenty-four hours.
I hate people.
Given as I so totally muddled the wording there, how about a fair compromise? (A good comprise leaves nopony happy after all...! I mean, I could just say, "you found one, I won", but I won't... Nor am I going to let you win that easy, either...! (Partly because when I laid it out, I wasn't planning on having to do any drawing for a couple of weeks.)))
So, retaining the two-week period then, I will force myself to read (and report on) every such fanart/fanfic you can find and link, and for every five such fanarts/fanfics we find, I will (badly) draw a pony. (I won't be actively searching for them specifically, myself, but if I happen to come across one of FiM or EQD, then hard luck to me, still applies.)
(I will appoint our resident Lawyer-Pony as final arbiter is there is any doubt as to whether something can be considered "unvillifying", because he's as neutral-ish as we're likely to geahahahahaha! Sorry, I can't say that with a straight skull, I know I'm likely screwing myself up even more by doing that, but what the hay.)
So I'll judge them on Cliche Factor, Angst Level, Contrivedness Rating or any other suggestions from the crowd (don't want more than about four or five conditions, though), and an additional category Migitating Factors, for anything that requires it. Rated from 1-5, five being the most tedious.
(I'll rate the afore-linked when we have a nominal rating system.)
Yes, Nightmare Moon is often shown winning or Evil - but nopony seems to want to ever "villify" Luna (despite, by comparison to favourites for villification, there being a very solid justification for it, far more than Celestia at that).Last edited by Aotrs Commander; 2012-11-11 at 08:40 PM.

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
This sounds amazing and I'm looking forwards to this immensely.
If you successfully go through with it I pledge you one badass, unambiguously evil Sombra picture, composition of your choice.

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
I think I category should be times it directly contradicts canon and how necessary each time is. For example in that one I saw that they had Discord petrifying ponies which is something he apparently draws the line at.
I did see one where Luna rejected the redemption offered by the Elements of Harmony and stayed as Nightmare Moon. She then proceeded to rule over Equestria til her actions caused Discord to break free early.Spoiler: I'm a writer!Spoiler: Check out my fanfiction[URL="https://www.fanfiction.net/u/7493788/Forum-Explorer"here[/URL]

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
I do believe I saw a fic having Luna being the evil princess. But that is only inevitable with so much material being tossed into the proverbial soup on a daily basis.
For a minific depicting Luna as such, have this.

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
A thought on Sombra and the situation:
SpoilerIt occurs to me that his final spell may have been not so much making the CE disappear as tying its fate to his own. In that case, it would have returned because he freed himself.
Of course, if that's the case we'd better hope that either the spell was broken (whether by his escape or by the Crystal Heart) or he survived.Level 4 Bibliophile/Level 3 Bard, working toward the Bibliomancer Prestige Class

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
Pony Game Stuffs
Economically, the most you can get in the early game (possibly at all) is 53 bits a minute (30/minute at minimum investment). This means that if you have an hour of not really doing anything intensive, and you really want that Octavia or DJ Pon-3, your best bet is to put as many ponies as possible into the windmill, cherry stand and lemon stand, and idly click them every minute or two. Interestingly, getting the faster, cheaper option is superior.
If this sounds boring though, you can dump ponies into bigger jobs for money over time. No point in missing all those by-the-minute drops for only 30, right?
When being social, you can't cross platforms. Anarion, Braz and I are on iPhone. Maxtronaut and Strife Warzeal are on android phones. I can drown them all, but only visit and gift Anarion and Braz. Sad face.
Also, gifts and treasure chests are separate. You can give a friend a gift, visit their Ponyville, and drop off a chest of lootz while there.
Shards seem to exist for money. Having well over 300 laughter means I can get that last 1,000 bits if I'm impatient.
The most I've been able to get on Pony Ball is 325. It's about rhythm at first, but towards the end you benefit from breaking rhythm and upping the tempo. Getting in that last 12 points isn't a full 24, but it's more than 0.
I missed the Scoota-sale. I am a sad filly.
In edit mode, you can click a tree or pole or bale of hay, and there will be three icons. The middle is a green check, which means yes put this item here. The far right is a red-purple X, and cancels the movement. The far left is a white arrow pointing down in a blue circle, and it's pretty useful; it stores the object in your Inventory. You can make space for buildings and not have to worry about permanently ruining the aesthetic.

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
I can't seem to visit your town, however. It keeps telling me you have a different version. Not sure why, as it clearly received the treasure chest you left me.
I've hit 350 on pony ball. If you're perfect on every hit you should be able to get 344 consistently, the 350 was a fluke when I hit the ball for an extra 6 points right as the timer expired. The trick is to get the 24 as early as humanly possible. If you blow it once or twice you'll still get a 325 or a 314.

Crystal Empire
SpoilerI guess Hasbro didn't believe the empire as evil. I mean they did change Queen Celestia to Princess Celestia since children might think Queen as evil (Well, it make Equestria more Welsh or Dorne since the ruler is called Prince). Shall we put it as Empire as Good Guys list? Or the term is like Inland Empire in California.Badly drawn helmet avatar drawn by me.

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
Anarion55 and I'm on an iPhone.
You can get gems from leveling and from playing for several days straight. Though considering that Celestia costs 950 of the darn things, they might as well have just stuck a $100* price tag on her and be done with it.
*I didn't actually check the prices of gems, I don't know how much she costs.

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
Hmmmm...
SpoilerAs King Sombra stepped through the doorway, he was shocked by the ebullient cries from the thousands upon thousands of ponies filling the Canterlot throne room. The adoring cheers and marriage proposals flew thick through the air as he made his way up the aisle, narrowly avoiding being crushed to death by the joyful mass of ponies only through the valiant efforts of the royal guard. He approached the two ponies at the front of the room in the shade, the flowers being so thick in the air that they blotted out the sun itself. Had the pair at the front of the room been anypony else besides the Royal Pony Sisters, what was said next would have gone unheard, for nothing less than the full might of the Royal Canterlot Voice could have made itself audible over the crowd's adulation.
Celestia took a step forward and began to speak. "It has come to our attention that there has been a grave misunderstanding, King Sombra. Thine actions in the Crystal Empire were not, as we once thought, the actions of a vile and cruel sadist. No, in truth they were the only thing that could be done to save the world and all ponykind. In light of this new information, we believe that we can speak for all of us when we declare that a pony as noble and brave as thou deserves thine heroic deeds to be remembered for all time. Let today forevermore be remembered as King Sombrero day!" As the ceremonial head gear was handed out the redoubled shouts of jubilation in the hall rose to a eardrum shattering level. The tears of the idolizing crowd cleansed the bodies of those ponies who had swooned where they stood, overcome by the King's astoundingly appealing good looks.
Luna stepped next to Sombra and leaned in close, eyes half lidded. "Sombra, I have yet to forget all those years those years that you were my most faithful and dedicated of students... and more. Do you think it would be possible to... pick up where we left off?"
---
King Sombra lurched away from the enchanted door of nightmares, dry heaving. "That trap is clearly working perfectly," he grumbled as he started back up the stairway.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
SpoilerThe issue gets resolved when Luna pays for the entire debt out of her own pocket. 1,000 years of compound interest makes its own magic.
And another spoilery comic from Egophiliac to wrap things up.

But that is interesting to see, Scootaloo gets all the pity for not being able to fly, but it's hard to imagine a young unicorn not being anxious about getting her magic.

S3 (Belle)
SpoilerD'aww, that has potential to be an awesome moment of joy.
I do admit that with me, Sweetie Belle getting her magic abilities has generally taken a back seat to Scootaloo's confirmation if she'll ever fly or not. Probably because we know so little of Scootaloo's family while Sweetie Belle has two confirmed parents and a sister so far.
Aww, it's not so bad. The secret to growing up is to take your childhood along with you. I'm sure what we lose in infinite kid parties we'll gain in mature responsibility to run fun grown-up parties that don't end up burning down the house...

So I was thinking about alicorns. In the show so far they've generally just been called unicorns, and some people prefer "winged unicorn". There seems to be a pretty clear unicorn bias here.

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
Alright, something serious, then ...
The parasprites are back with a vengeance, and you have to save Ponyville! You have Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy (who is scared out of her hide, as usual), Lyra and Flitter at your disposal. Nopony else. You also have only what can reasonably be assumed to be available in the Sugarcube Corner and Bon Bon's candy workshop. Which means, you probably have lots and lots of sugar, flour and other foodstuffs, but no musical instruments to speak of, and besides it seems the parasprites are now immune to music anyway.
What is your plan of action? How will you get all the parasprites back into the Everfree?
