Re: My Little Pony XXVIII: In the Crazy of 40.000 Posts, There is Only Pony!
Well, it's more like 3.Aotrs at this point, but yes (weekly in fact...) 3.5 tends to be our system of choice these days. (The second choice being Rolemaster, which is why things like 3.5's grappling rules have never bothered me - and why we only selectively take bits from the splatbooks...)

Re: My Little Pony XXVIII: In the Crazy of 40.000 Posts, There is Only Pony!
Well, considering I am more-or-less the only one that makes any homebrew (even when I'm not DMing, I'm still considered primary rules-smith of the group, and everyone else tends to adopt my rules) and the reason it's 3.Aotrs is mostly because of the scads of house-rules, modifications and additions...
Notably, my campaign world Dreemaenhyll specifically has rules for nonhumanoid character races (which basically are a combination of "race" and "class", completely replacing the screwy LA system).
(Unicorns and dragons are among the races... Though the former are rather different to pony unicorns. And the latter start off as Tiny at ECL 1...)

Re: My Little Pony XXVIII: In the Crazy of 40.000 Posts, There is Only Pony!
Since we are still on the subject of pony dreams, unfortunetly I've never had one. Do dreams about ponythread itself count? I would say who posted in it but all I can remember SiuiS there and our resident lich too. Maybe the next step is pony dreams *crosses fingers*.

Re: My Little Pony XXVIII: In the Crazy of 40.000 Posts, There is Only Pony!
SpoilerNow it's Autumn's turn to giggle for a bit, as Raindrop blushes even more. He looks like he is going to try to say something, but words fail him at the moment. Oh yes, I've known him for a while. You see, ever since Shadow, who by the way, really hates it when you use his full name: Five O'clock Shadow. Anyway, ever since he stepped down as our weather team leader about 2 years ago, Raindrop was assigned to our weather team because he's got all this training from the Cloudsdale Weather Academy. I just thought it was fascinating to see a unicorn so interested in weather control.
And now I meet another unicorn who flies?! So what do you do? Are you a weather unicorn too, or do you do something else?
Raindrop seems to have recovered enough to say something. Um... Autumn, don't you have to make sure that the night weather shift is taken care of?
Don't worry about that. Wings has the night shift.
You left Wings in charge.
Yep. A smile crosses Autumn's face as Raindrop's falls with worry.
All by himself?
Yep!
I gotta go. As Raindrop gets up to run out, Autumn blocks off his escape.
Hold up now! I was gonna let you find out tomorrow morning, but the opportunity was too perfect. Whatever mess he makes, you can deal with later. For now, you've got a date to finish.
It's not a date!
Now be a good little pony, and stay with your date. I'll just be here to keep things interesting.
Fine, but I'll get you back for this! Putting Wings in charge! You've gotta be crazy!
Funny you should mention that. I had a dream a few weeks back where my best friend and I ended up in some sort of parallel universe/alternate dimension/whatever, and at some point while trapped there, I ended up browsing that universe's version of Ponythread. Everything was all topsy-turvy! Two things that really stood out to me were firstly, that that universe's version of Aotrs Commander was an over-the-top, scenery-chewing, cliched, megalomaniac (also, his faction and rank were different, but I can't remember what they were). The other thing that really stood out to me was that the version of Thanqol was extremely terse, and almost exclusively responded to posts with pony reaction images/image macros. There were several other oddities, but I can't remember them at all.
I either need more ponythread, or less; I can't tell which right now.
SpoilerJust so you know, the character is Autumn Breeze. She's from the Blue Ponies RP. She's an orange pegasus whose mane and tail are mostly red, orange, and brown. Her cutie mark is of three leaves being blown by the wind.

I had a dream that Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle were the same pony. I don't remember much of it, but she was an Alicorn, and it seemed to be Twilight's mom who was the mother.

Re: My Little Pony XXVIII: In the Crazy of 40.000 Posts, There is Only Pony!
I approve.
I would say they count. I'm pretty sure I've dreamed about some of the ponies in here too, but I can't remember.

Re: My Little Pony XXVIII: In the Crazy of 40.000 Posts, There is Only Pony!
Regarding lethality, what seems to work well in most of the Heroes and other mostly-FFRP games is that players go in with an understanding that they'll be mostly immortal, so long as they don't attempt obviously stupid or game-breaking things. Basically, you have a buffer right up until you think you can single-hoofedly take on the Emperor/Big Bad/etc. Then, if you're dumb enough to try, and your number comes up, that's it, re-roll.
We're catching! Yay!
Were you around during DBC's time? He had quite an interesting theory that made Equestria an extension of the World Tree...I think Celestia and Luna were Loki's daughters, actually, a la Sleipnir.
That actually sounds like a nice dream, once the initial creepiness wore off..
Speaking of dreams, here are the ones I can recall:
Spoiler1.) There was one a long time ago involving Pinkamena. Yes, that Pinkamena. *shudder* We'll just move on...
2.) Last night I had a weird dream where I was watching the show/playing an interactive game on a smartphone. I was trying to type in some combination of numbers to color in RD's mane, but I kept screwing up. The weird part was that she was freaking out onscreen in real time as I messed up her mane, which only made me more nervous so I failed more... It was kind of disorienting...This Machine Surrounds Hate And Forces It To Surrender

Shadow IT is actually really bad. Users find a program that works for them and download or use it without considering what kind of technical problems or security issues they're creating.
There was a round table discussion I saw on it a while back on how to address that kind of thing

Re: My Little Pony XXVIII: In the Crazy of 40.000 Posts, There is Only Pony!
Regarding Pony dreams its hard for me to tell which ones are actual dreams or just daydreams that slipped into dreams or perhaps its the other way around?
Anyways the list!
The only one that I'm positive is a dream was a brief argument with Twilight about magic. I was a pony in this one.
The one that I'm sure was originally a daydream:
Celestia bursting into my room crying about being called a tyrant and a troll. I felt really guilty and was trying to calm her down when the dream shifted.
The other ones are just a confused jumble of ponies.
I'm just worried about the inevitable zombie pony dream.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 XXVIII: In the Crazy of 40.000 Posts, There is Only Pony!
On the subject of Pony Dreams: I know I have had Ponythread dreams, but the exact details escape me. The strangest dreams are always the ones where you're doing something completely mundane, and it's strange in the weird way that mundane stuff always is, given the chaotic, madcap world we all live in, and then you - or, rather, I - hear the alarm clock and realize that I was dreaming about posting in Ponythread.
Triiiiiiiiiiiiiixie.
Well, what a fantastiiiiiiic idea you have there Trixie that would be a greaaat addition and I already have an idea for the first target-
"Um, boss, sorry about this, but I think you really need to get off Ponythread before you do something you'll regret- oh, goodness, somepony pry him away from the keyboard, for Celestia's sake!
NO NO GERROFFME VENGEANCE WILL BE MIIIIIIIIIIIINEeeeeeeeeeeee
"Ahem. Talespinner here! Discord!Raz and the Pure and Honest Fox Raz are making sure that Raz_Fox can't hurt himself in an attempt to... oh, sweet Celestia, he's actually frothing at the mouth, I thought that was only the kind of thing that happened in stories. And now he's thrashing around like, er, you know that crazy Firebender chick from the finale of Avatar? Yeah, that chick. Um. This is awkward. Just forget this ever happened. Ooooooh-wooooo, you are being hypnotized into forgetting this."
I WILL HAVE MY VENGEANCE AND IT WILL BE A BITTER FRUIT LIKE A LEMON A LEMON OF PURE HATRED THAT BURNS DOWN HOUSES AND BRIDGES YOU WILL TASTE MY LEMON TRIXIEEEEEEEEEE

Cracked takes a pot shot at Bronies. Well, kind of. This particular author just literally took a two word potshot at us at the end of his article. For no good reason. Seriously, take a look.

Re: My Little Pony XXVIII: In the Crazy of 40.000 Posts, There is Only Pony!
Not really here yet, just had a couple of minutes before work and managed to sneak some Wi-Fi. Can't respond to everything, but I checked this, and I think I get the joke.
The whole point of the article is lecturing ponies on how if you don't try to understand others, you end up making incorrect assumptions of them. In this case, she uses quiet people.
In the end, she says first "Basically, nobody's wrong, except for people who aren't willing to accept the other group of people they don't understand. " And then uses the "And Bronies." crack. I think it's hypocritical humor, she lectures for a few pages on how to treat a group, and then turns around and pins assumptions on a completely different group of ponies.
That's not to say that it's funny. It's pretty lame, actually.Last edited by EsperDerek; 2011-10-18 at 12:42 PM.

Not really a shot, it was clearly a joke.
A joke she stole from one of the Austin Powers movies, where it was originally "the Dutch"
EDIT: Also, the highest rated comment currently in the comments section concludes "f**k you ponies are awesome." Considering it's cracked I think that was a neutral-to-positive reference to us.Last edited by Eakin; 2011-10-18 at 12:48 PM.
