Oh sheesh, the guy says he likes hanging out with us cool froods, and you jump on him over choice of words? Pffsh, it's just a running joke with Ino. Fair enough as a request if it's really bugging you, but ... timing!
This is awesome. Everything is better if narrated by Batman, and the VA for Rarity in the first scene had me in hysterics already.Last edited by BlasTech; 2012-10-06 at 05:11 PM.

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
Pretty much this.
Oh, and I think this was linked a while ago but for anypony who hasn't seen it, here's a similar panel with many of the same people doing Star Wars from Emerald City Comicon.

Hey, that's just what the filename was. Personally I think Trixie would be quite happy with such an awesome summon.
"See? Trixie has summoned a dragon with a jewel-encrusted hide! You think YOU can do better? Trixie thinks not!"
Oh, I watched that during the forum downtime! Yes it was awesome! My personal favourite part was Wesker as Snips. The Jedi narrator (forgot the character's name) was good too, and of course, The Great and Powerful Bender.
Why were they all at Canterlot Gardens though? Are they all bronies? :D

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
Glad the forums are back up.
Seems they're running Cloudfire now, that should speed things up a little.

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
I see what you mean there; though I wasn't trying to seperarte ya'll from the playground or anything. At least not intentionally, and certainly not maliciously. All of my groups sorta live in vacuums from eachother, with different mindsets and focuses based on which group is being interracted with and the interests of said groups. Things get interesting/fun/scary when people in some groups end up being in parts of other groups.
This isn't too odd, is it? It's sorta like this in real life, too: I've got nuclear family, extended family, church friends, old school friends, new schol friends, coworkers, gym members, and so on, rather than just one big list of people. And each group gets treated differently, depending on my placement in said group, as well as the atmosphere of everyone.
... I'm sorry... I wasn't trying to be offensive or anything. It's just been conditioning that assuming closeness ends up not going very well... And assuming being naturally welcome is kinda arrogant and rude...
... I'm sorry... it's just always worked out better that way...
I do! It is. 's why I missed it so much... actually maxed my phone's data limit hoping to check on things while away from computer.
... I'm sorry....
... okay... I'm sorry...
I know... it's just... i dunno... I wanted to try to be respectful for once... that and I just really missed you guys...
Yay.
... you guys have probably already been over this, but does anyone else realise the Changelings are like Succubi?
Flight enabled monsters that feed off of love, capable of manipulating other people's minds and transforming themselves to aid in their nefarious schemes?
Her ...hand... looks weird.
I can imagine this in gif form: someone running into something and getting zapped off, then getting up to do it again over and over and over...
I've been offensive a lot before... I actually wanted to address such things that occured before the playground got closed, but after it, and with it being so long, it'd have been odd to try to dredge up such oldities... so I just wanted to try to do better from here on... and if I promptly fail, then I should be told so, so I can try to improve...
Still, thank you.
... Albert "Complete. Global. Saturation." Wesker? *rewatches*
.... :D
Spoiler
How do people stay perfectly in character when crossing roles and voices like that? Did they record this live, or was it just something special they decided to cook up and present there?
... I knew I should have considered going to the tournament more if I could have ran into -Wesker-... AND -Bender-... gah, I'm still kicking myself over it. I wonder when their next event is...
Edit: Did I hear -AXEL-!?! I freaking missed -AXEL-!?! Gah!
It actually took me a bit to get that.

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
Well, we missed you too. But you don't need to be respectful in that way because you're already here and part of the discussion and community. Whatever "community" means in this wacky new-age context.
What's Cloudfire?

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
.... it "means" a lot to me.
This is just skirting the edge of techno-babble for me. I was actually thinking that sounds like a horse name.
I agree with being willing to get your hands dirty when getting into deep discusson, but still...
Also, what's a fetlock?
Tea.... oh ****, I just realised I haven't worked at all on my research papers that I need to have updated soon. I feel your pain...
Additional random question: What's with the Trollestia / Molestia monkier? I've been meaning to ask about that; I never really understood it. Celestia's got a bit of an impish side to her, but the whole "Send Everyone to the Moon" thing I never really understood.Last edited by INoKnowNames; 2012-10-06 at 11:39 PM.

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
fetlock n. (\ˈfet-ˌläk\)
1) a: a projection bearing a tuft of hair on the back of the leg above the hoof of a horse or similar animal
b: the tuft of hair itself
2) the joint of the limb at the fetlock
So basically, the top of the hoof and/or the hair that grows there.
Additional random question: What's with the Trollestia / Molestia monkier? I've been meaning to ask about that; I never really understood it. Celestia's got a bit of an impish side to her, but the whole "Send Everyone to the Moon" thing I never really understood.
Long answer: Someone decided it would be funny to pretend to believe Celestia was prone to internet-troll behavior, and it spread. Someone else decided it would be funny to pretend to believe Celestia was prone to... unwelcome advances, let's say, and it spread.
The "Iron Hoof" mentioned in the intro-spoiler in the first post is a related idea. I'm not actually sure why it's still there, I don't think it's come up in the last couple score of threads. (The premise thereof, as I understand it, is that Celestia rules with an iron hoof and what we see in the show is either propaganda or ponies desperately trying not to get on her bad side.)Level 4 Bibliophile/Level 3 Bard, working toward the Bibliomancer Prestige Class

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
There are a couple points that have lent it life. Some of these may seem sort of strawmanny, and I apologize if I misrepresent someponies views.
1. There are three types of pony. They all live in a variety of cities and towns, but of the two we have seen devoted to one type (Cloudsdale and Canterlot), the second of them also happens to be the capital. If the Princesses (who are called unicorns in the show) are ruling all three types, why is their capital the base of unicorn power?
2. The whole "I don't turn ponies into stone" concept was construed by some watchers as Celestia turning ponies into stone (because Discord is considered by some not to be a pony, and the comment thus not self referential).
3. She sent her sister to the moon for 1,000 years for not lowering the moon. Some watchers don't believe that the planet would become lifeless without the sun, and so believe that it was a drastic and rather heartless overreaction.
4. Celestia always plays the part of the monarch, never revealing her own emotions or beliefs but judging and controlling other ponies. While this can be a very dangerous trait, it can also be beneficial by separating personal from professional priorities.

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
Canterlot has Earth ponies in addition to unicorns, maybe not as evenly mixed as Ponyville but definitely there. I think the only Pegasi we've seen outside of the Guard or Wonderbolts is Wildfire... but they DO have their own exclusive town.
3. She sent her sister to the moon for 1,000 years for not lowering the moon. Some watchers don't believe that the planet would become lifeless without the sun, and so believe that it was a drastic and rather heartless overreaction.
Also people fondly imagine that Luna was somehow awake the whole time with nothing to do or whatever thus making it some "horrible thing" or whatever... despite being clearly merged with the moon and Word of Faust noting Luna was basically asleep the whole time.

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
Since we have a Celestia discussion going on what's everybody's headcannon on her degree of governmental power?
On one end of the spectrum she and Luna are absolute rulers whose word is law and decrees absolute. At the other end their titles are mostly ceremonial and the bulk of actual government is done by mortal ponies. Most of Celestia's influence comes from being so beloved by the common pony that being seen disrespecting her or flagrantly ignoring her advice would be tantamount to political suicide.
Personally I think they have something like a constitutional monarchy with division of powers and checks and balances. With Celestia and Luna acting as the Executive branch while an assembly of mortal ponies is the Legislative branch.
If you're wondering I have asked this question before. But it was what, 20 threads ago? So I think another go is fair.

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
Until there's support otherwise a principality under an absolute monarch. Presumably Luna holding similar authority.
We also know she is not purely ceremonial since we've heard of her ordering the guards and she evidently also went to.... Phillydelphia IIRC... to deal with their Parasprite crisis.
