Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
The whole thing smacks of what you need to facehoof constantly for too. 'Oh look she's acting SOOOOOOOOOOOOO out of character and out of setting it makes sense in hipster logic'.
And all this conversation reminds me that I haven't done anything recently to assert my place on the good lich's enemy list. If I were to just remain idle while sitting in one place musing I'm no more chaotic than those stupid elf hippies. As such I've purchased a 'super cupcake 9000' from Sugarcube Corner and have currently targeted it with this station's main armament. It's about time we bring back an old friend.
How's it going going going?Ask me about our low price vacation plans in the Elemental Plane of Puppies and PieSpoiler

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
As somepony currently playing a Kobold, and thoroughly enjoying the little punks, could you tell us a bit more about Lord Unlucky? I can certainly understand his penchant for feigning incompetence. The party I've been traveling with for a little more than a year now still thinks I don't speak Common, although the "hapless foreigner" act had to go out the window pretty early. Turns out I was the only one good at planning things. And when you need to simultaneously flood and set fire to your main enemy's city, you better have somepony who knows what they're doing.

Bleakbane?

*The light fades, revealing a normal-sized Bleakbane - but no longer a skeleton of bone but of... metal?*
Unholy fracking crap on a crapstick.

I think our Chibi just evolved into a Bleakbane...
Oh yes. That's muuuch better! I love SpiV-Wi-Re-ment!
Muhahahahaha!
Close your mouth Hopereaver, you look like a goldfish.
But you... What... How...
In order, yes, will over reality, because I'm awesome.
So... are you made of metal or something now, sir...?
Apparently, LT. Guess my mana-molding was beneficial after all... It just took some drastic thing to push me to my limit to combine the after effects of the transformation into with my Lich abilites. The two then were finally spurred into cohesion in that moment of sheer bloody-mindedness, evolving me into my new form, based on my own subconcious. Which apparently includes being made of metal, Cool.
I'm sort of surprised this hasn't happened sooner, this being ponythread, actually...
Oh dear, someone get Hopereaver an eccles cake, I think she's having a bit of a funny turn...Last edited by Aotrs Commander; 2012-03-30 at 01:33 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
Ooh, a metal lich. I wonder if he's like a metal slime? Ridiculously hard to kill, worth a ridiculous amount of XP, runs away first chance he gets?
...
...likely not the latter.
Although I do wonder, what would happen if a (charged) neodymium cannonball suddenly appeared in the same room as you? Say, about a foot in diameter?Last edited by Sean Mirrsen; 2012-03-30 at 01:51 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
That would be a great name for a band.
Oh no, not doing that again. Past me and present me don't get along.
Besides, one year ago, I was already into this fandom, so it wouldn't have changed much.
And yes, I'd like to see pony manestyling episode. I'm sure they could do something great with it.
Fixed that for you.
Weren't you the one running a bet on how long it would take you to slip into ponyisms IRL? How's that going?
Steel/Ghost type. Called it.
So, while we're on the whole 'question the Lich' thing, I figured I'd ask: Is being evil a pre-req for being in the Aotrs, or just a recommendation? I'm sure that being evil helps, what with the whole necro-torture thing, but are you all evil?

I'm pretty sure it's not a requirement, given that Derpy currently has a command position.
Also, most blingin' Skeletal Structure since Hirst's "For the love of God" thingy.

But are we talking a chrome or Golden finish, Commadore?
Also, brain bleech is over-rated. Accumulated scar-tissue prevents further trauma much better.

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
Still going strong. I've nearly slipped a few times, mostly due to lack of sleep. There are still a good
handhoof-full of folks who had bets in the six months-a year range, not to mention we haven't had a filly Twilight episode yet. Ye pony princesses, that would be my undoing.I'm developing a game. Let's see what happens! Complex.

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
Well, first off, his particular species of Kobold is not like a D&D Kobold at all, but essentially a smaller species of goblinoid. (I believe I've mentioned our Kobold Commandos before? Lord Unlucky is another one of that species.) He talks, well, perhaps the best way to discribe it is a bit like Grimlock (more comic than series, where he was smarter). Him talk like this, it make him seem more stupider, but he much smarter than most peoples. It affectation, like Yoda...
He is a very powerful Kobold, standing nearly a foot taller than most of his kin (making him nearly four and half feet tall...) He is also a consummate archmage, and living proof that those Kobolds can be immortal if they aren't killed by disease or combat. As I understand it, his own personal goal is to create the elemental plane of Snot, which is hilarious until you realise that his species of Kobold's mucus is slightly acidic, and Unlucky has refined that trait to it's logical conclusion... I'm told that it's not only an inordinately painful way to die, but quite remarkably unpleasant...
His name comes from a curse he was inflicted with in his youth - which has proven to be somewhat permenant and ingrained into his very self at this point - which meant that he suffers from quite remarkable, ridiculously bad luck at odd intervals. I don't mean, "drop your sword, break fragile objects because you tripped over", I mean "cruise liners fall out of the sky onto your head" bad luck. It is a testament to Lord Unlucky that not only has he survived these incidents (to my knowlegde, he's never had to be resurrected), but has managed to glean enough control over these events, and to predict when they will occur, to make them work in his favour.
Probably nothing, since I don't seem to be particularly ferromagnetic...
I'm still analyising my new composition, by the way, but that was one the first things I checked...
For my initial readins, I think there's a significant mithril component in the alloy (I'm a necromancer, not a metallurgist), and knowing me, it wouldn't surprise me to find out that starship armour alloys are also a component... Ooh, I wonder if I have any adamantium, that would be really cool!
I'm sure Lord Yeller would appreciate the sentiment...
(Given that that he is the Lich who insists on using Lance Thrashnikoff as his psuedonym when undercover and coined the phrase Spiv-Wi-Re-Ment... He's just that sort of Lich. I'm also reliably told he is, as they say "metal" (not like me, I mean), and has been known to seal himself in a sound-proofed room with an electric gitar and play so loud that he literally blows himself into dust. (Lord Yeller's regeneration is particularly fast.)

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
Nothing springs to mind; go nuts... Armour or robes, take your pick. (In the former case, I can dig out some (very sketchy) references for the latter (i.e. picture I drew of me and Lord Death Despoil about to get horribly spifflicated by Twilight picture, or the one from my tabletop army; neither is really very accurate, but are roughly in the right order of magnitude (as is SiuiS' superpowers picture). Or go with robes, I wear both, sometimes at the same time. (Well, it's more of a tabard then, but that's just being picky!))

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
So, I'm a substitute teacher, and mostly take middle school classes. Today, I was subbing for an eighth grade science class, and between periods I began working on a pony drawing. When my next class came in, one of the students noticed it - and, turns out, she was a brony! We compared best pony opinions, got skeptically questioned by the rest of the class, and then I played Smile Smile Smile on the computer for them.
She and some of the other students had taken my paper and drew on it themselves, including a Fluttershy and a ponified Neo from her (don't mind the, ahem, work of art at bottom right... teenage boys think they're very clever and witty):
Spoiler
At the end of the day, after classes were over, she came back to my room with one of her other friends, gave me a hug, and said the two of them were the only bronies in the school and that I was the best sub ever. Teaching is a really satisfying job, even if only part time.Last edited by Neoseanster; 2012-03-30 at 03:35 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
Wow. Kobolds might just be naturally unlucky folk. Mine has only wanted one thing this entire campaign; to figure out why he can use Shadowcasting in addition to sorcery, and get back with his tribe. It took him approximately a day to get tangled up with the party, and six months later, stuff keeps happening that keeps him with these bungling idiots. In fact, he's one of only two members of the original party that's still around. The irony hasn't been lost on him, trust me.
If he starts having the cruise liner problem, I'll let you know. I don't entertain the thought that Lord Unlucky has the time or resources to take on a pupil, but spell recommendations/self help books/pamphlets on "how best to get away with murder when the world's watching" would be most appreciated.
And here's some of everypony's favorite Star-Sergent:

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
As do I. You know, you would think that being a cult leader with no power delusions who promotes casual use of necromancy would get his call responded to. I mean, realy, a nice sit-down over tea would go great, and perhapes exchange tips on how to keep black robes from looking guady in meetings. No, realy, you have no idea. I mean, yes, they look plain as can be, but when your talking with emissaries from places whos names are only mentioned in the darkest of tombs they look absolutly bright. And magical darkness is such a pain to work around.

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
Shroud yourself in magical darkness? Just make sure to avoid those billowing clouds of smoke, and random tendrils. Whenever I see those, it's usually a sign of an amateur, consume too much concentration (especially the tendrils), and tend to reveal small parts of your body every so often.

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
This does appear to have been a most interesting afternoon.
Okay, let's start here. First off, your theme music power-up is the Kanto gym song?
So, did you have speakers installed on the ship similar to General Tarquin in is palace for when you just needed sound effects at a dramatic moment?
Third, how does your metallic form affect your damage resistance, paralyzing touch, and overall speed and movement capabilities (you may have answered these, but if so I missed them on skim through walls of text).
And finally, does Star-Sergeant Derpy create clouds that frequently? Wouldn't that potentially mess up the life-support systems of the ship?
Here's the thing. 1 year ago me, we're cool. He's a nice guy, maybe a little more quiet, less likely to burst into song, but pretty nice.
2 years ago me, on the other hand. Well, we've had this little blackrom thing going, and he likes to give me these very stern glances every so often and...wait, why am I telling you this?
That is really uplifting. Have an internet pat on the back because I never remember having substitute teachers that awesome.

*Nod* Still hesitant about it, but I haven't heard the specific pitch yet.
I reckon her design was one of my better ideas ^^
Organisational hierarchy makes perfect sense. By running all promotions through one guy you avoid disunity and by limiting the speed of your expansion you prevent that one guy being overwhelmed with promotion micromanagement.
"Oh, hey, is that a time portal?"
"BUY APPLE."
"What?"
"AND PAY ATTENTION IN FABRIC CLASS."
"Huh?"
"ONE PLUSH GOES FOR $5000 ON THE INTERNET. YOU CAN SKIP UNIVERSITY AND A CAREER PATH IF YOU KNOW HOW TO MAKE PONY PLUSHES AND INVEST IN APPLE."
*Thanqol spends a lot of time thinking about what'd happen if he got sent back in time*
