I figured it was hyperbole since Twilight can exaggerate things when she's stressed out. I mean, she did honestly believe she was doomed to Magic Kindergarden in Lesson Zero.
What we need are some solid stated ages for a couple key ponies.

No idea. To be fair, we only tend to use illusory disguises when detection (e.g. spells or sensors) aren't liable to be involved. Lord Death Despoil or the likes of Lord Yeller might be able to fool them with spells, but not me!

I'm putting the WWU vs. FAD conflict solidly in the "unintended retcon" category in my own personal headcanon. On the crazy theory that the production crew and writers don't double check their entire canon to make sure something isn't contradicted by an off-the-cuff remark in another episode

I think she meant the Winter Wrap up, instead of Ponyville. There is a problem since there are unicorns in Ponyville before Twilight, but it could be possible that they are raised in Earth Pony Community.
P.S- I wonder if there are Carrots Ironfoundersson equivalents (like Unicorn raised by Earth Pony or vice versa) in MLP: FIM.

Headcanon time! Well, it's more about fanon than canon, so... headfanon? Idk.
So some of the popular pony swears people use are basically taking English swears and replacing "God" with "Celestia" or "Luna." The connections are obvious. However, while this makes sense for Celestia, Luna has only been back for what, a year and a half? Two years? At the very least, ponies swearing by Luna's name must be a recent thing, and a conscious effort on the part of the ponies (Most likely predominantly young ponies, because that's just how slang rolls).

Now, I think that Luna actually secretly likes the fact that ponies do this, because it shows that they consider her to be Celestia's equal.

Oh, man, there was a fic where Celestia could actually hear all the ponies who swore in her name and what they were swearing, and it drove her completely 'round the bend, and I can't remember the name of it!

Ah IWD2, that takes me back. I think my party had 4 sorcerers (1 with a level of paladin), a specialist wizard (with a level of thief), and a cleric. When I entered a combat area I had all my characters take turns being buffed past their eyeballs, running around like Leroy Jenkins, blast AoEs till they went dry or risked having their buffs time out, greater invisibility away, and take their turn as buff monkey. It was effective, and I found it hilarious, but I'm sure it could be horrible if that wasn't your thing. I think I lampshaded it as a group fresh from magic college that got on the wrong boat for the gratuitous use of evocation and necromancy convention and couldn't figure out how to leave.

Actually, the game kind of has a collapsing difficulty curve. There are a couple opportunities left for me to blow it completely, but if I can keep my current squad alive until I capture a berserker and get titan armor and plasma snipers, the game becomes incredibly easy.

But we haven't eliminated the impossible. Bleakbane already suggested the possibility that you can reconcile the statements in canon by inferring that ponies have extremely long lifespans and that Granny Smith is actually a few hundred years old.

Aw, sorry to hear you didn't like the game as much. I think the demo doesn't do it justice as the base management and research is a lot of the incentive, not just the tactics.

Oh, and can I sig that bit of latin? That's awesome.

I cleared out a lot of dungeons in the second one earlier than I should have with the following tactic:
1) Cast that floating eyeball spell
2) Have the wizard hurl fireballs at max range
3) Retreat, locking the door behind me. Then retreat again and lock a second door for good measure.
4) Rest, lather, repeat.

Actually, considering getting it eventually when the price comes down means that to a degree I liked it more than I expected to, so there is that.
And no, not interested in getting it for my PC. Not given the condition of my PC, at any rate. Controls work fine on the X-Box, so really no reason to.

Ponythread: I am am an unfathomable eldritch being that thinks of destruction in every waking moment and dreams in color taste and pain of destruction beyond the scope of their waking thoughts. Whether I will it or not everything I touch falls apart. This is background, what I just realized is that I have a weirdly intense love of muffins and a condition that I'd forgotten and usually suppress subconsciously that causes my left eye to dart to the side of my face unless kept under muscular control: I am to an unusual degree a clouded mirrors embodiment of Derpy and never realize it before. I am not sure how to take this.

So I'm reading FiM's TVTrope's page (and I have you all to blame for that), and noticed this:

Anachronic Order:

"One brony tried to order the first season's episodes correctly, but goodness knows whether he's even close. Some key points stand out:"

"Pinkie Pie's rant about Rainbow Dash in the beginning of "Griffon the Brush Off" seems remarkably similar to Rainbow's Sonic Rainboom during the episode of the same name, an event that happens a full ten episodes later."

She could have been talking about anything, and the fact she glues herself to Dash for the rest of the episode, she probably JUST saw it and was in so much awe she had to be like a rabid fangirl. Plus, she never mentions anything close to the Sonic Rainboom she did in the episode of the same name. Also:

"The Sparkle World story The Magic of Friendship implies that "Sonic Rainboom" takes place when Twilight and Spike were still new to Ponyville. The story states that Twilight and Spike hadn't lived in Ponyville very long and refers to the rest of the mane six as their new friends, yet later in the story Rainbow Dash performs a Sonic Rainboom for what would have to be at least the third time, placing "Sonic Rainboom" early in the series' chronology."

What is "The Sparkle World"?
