Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
You know what? I don't honestly care how much of a crush the Commander has on you. If you want to risk destroying your mind and bringing about the end of your backwater little planet, who am I to stop you? Pick any damn mask you like, or don't and stay as nothing more than Sundancer.
I'll deal with her pouting about it if and when it becomes an issue.
Three thousand years ago, on another plane in an alternate timestream, I summoned to me the souls of all remaining members of my entire extended family line, living, undead or otherwise and burned them in an astral pire of impossible strength. In that dread conflagration of the souls of all who held ties to me, I forged a weapon of terrible power and purpose and with it slew the twisted entity that would call itself the God of my world.
I don't do family gatherings.

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
"Just once I'd like to be kidnapped by something that doesn't have a crush on me."
"Fine. Let's try this one!"
Sundancer takes down something that looks kinda like a Mexican wrestling mask and pulls it down over her face.
"I AM LUCHADORE MASK!" she roars in a voice deeper than any mere pony throat could manage, muscles bulging with infernal energy, "I HAVE THE POWER TO WIN ANY FIGHT, SUPLEX ANY MONSTER, AND THROW MY OPPONENTS THROUGH THE DOME OF THE SKY! WHO AMONGST YOU IS A WORTHY CHALLENGER?"

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
*Fails, at forum roller, goes and rolls 4 dice*
4,1,3,10. One success. It appears that I will not suffer any kind of moral degeneration for understanding Thanqol...this time.
Then why would it kidnap you?
The best part is how everybody in MM treats the crazy possessed mask thing like its totally normal. Majora's mask plus moon falling, totally crazy insane weirdness, but all the other magical masks are just a part of daily life.

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
You realise the alternate type of kidnapping either involved bits of you being cut off and mailed to your relatives, or you simply being murdered without so much as an explanation?
You know what, it doesn't matter. You've made a choice, we're done here.
I have never before so much as set hoof on your world, let alone visited any such places.
I can work with this.

If you must behave like this, you will do so on your own planet. Ugh, look at the state of this place. Wasn't this supposed to be your Capitol?

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
*Quantum Mareuit looks up from where she had been taking notes on the effect of channeling magic into the old castle stones after having to suddenly teleport out due to some crazy pony with a can of paint.*
Er, uh. Hi there. Did you want to know about the castle here? It used to be the capital a long time ago, but now it's actually outside the borders of our current kingdom. Not too many ponies come here anymore, but it's great for studying and you can practice without setting anypony on fire! Well, except yourself I guess, and maybe you now that you're here. Not that I would set you on fire, of course.
Uh, how do you do? I'm Quantum Mareuit.

Set me on fire and I will do terrible and inventive things to you.
Pleasure to meet you Quantum Mareuit, you may call me Joyreaper.
Name three.
I have no idea what you are talking about, but it sounds like a grand idea, have fun with that.

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
You're wrong.
Prove there is a space that is infinite, and then we'll talk. But your go-to solution might not work in this instance.
Also, random tangent. In my first 3.5 game as myself, magic user extraordinaire, I ended up doing basically this very thing. Noun the man's living soul in a tortured, undying body in a timeless, eternal prison guarded by everything I could bind or create, lashed into a jewel and bequeathed to a divine guardian.
Far lot of good that did.
Classy.
Scale is unfathomably huge because you subscribe to a notion of power which works only within that paradigm. My specialty has always been finessing tertiary and unrelated systems into a useable an unpredictable tool. Getting mad because your enemy doesn't play by physics is just as valid as your enemy getting mad at you by not playing by the Rules f Honorable Engagement.
Look. Practical experiement. When you next go outside for a walk or something, take a straw and a piece of cardboard and paper with a hole in it to put the straw through. Get a pebble or something, find a field (or perhaps, if you want to be clever, some bio-degradable thing that floats and a duck-free pond). Lob said object to the best of your abilities, and then try to find it again - but you're only allowed to use what you can see through the straw.
It is just not statistically plausible that anything that small lost in that big a space is ever going to encounter anything at all.
I also tend to generalize Onotangu from legend of the five rings in with the actual Japanese mythos.
Chinese myth had 14 suns, each about the size of a jumbo beach ball. They weren't all powerful. They were just jerks until they got shot to death.
There is no basis for Discord's imprisonment weakening due to the elements passing to new owners, or to being a continuous rather than instantaneous effect.
There is likewise no reason to believe the elements of harmony are the Biggest Baddest.
That's a bit like arguing that an object is flammable because it would ignite if tossed into the sun. The example is simply too extreme to build a useful argument around. Discord might not be completely omnipotent, but he's close enough that the distinction is irrelevant.
It is entirely possible for an object to be disintegrated completely before burning at all. So where r not it burns is a meaningful distinction, however asinine the assertion may be.
So the Pink One is called such despite having nothing really to do with pinkie at all? I dunno. Too contrived and Lovecraft For The Hell Of It for my liking. Just because something is hyper dimensional and has the [aberration] tag does not make it an unfathomably horror, no matter how insane it is.

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
Well, sorry to be the downer here folks, but better we self regulate before the Modguin wakes up.
*Spritzes the RP-in-spoilers bottle at the thread*
Sheesh, with the amount of spontaneous RP in this place, you'd think we were all completely insa ...
Ok, well that explains it.
Back to the part where I ask everyone for GMing tips; I know Thanqol's mantra that successful RP's are made or broken during the character creation stage. I'm thinking of starting recruitment soon, even though the RP is at least two months off, just so we can have a bit of a discussion around character types and how the group may work together.
Am I jumping the gun here? (Also, is anyone else interested? )
I'm not having much luck identifying potential quests and things. I keep tossing around ideas but just thinking "Well, it really depends on what kind of ponies these are"
As food for thought, have a poem I found that I think I'll use as part of the OP for the game;
SpoilerI read within a poet's book
A word that starred the page,
"Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage."
Yes, that is true, and something more:
You'll find, where'er you roam,
That marble floors and gilded walls
Can never make a home.

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
Spritzed:
SpoilerThey aren't your anything partner if they aren't willing. If they are willing, it's not a kidnapping.
Involuntary spectators? You can bring them to the match, but you can't make them watch. Not without magic, anyway.
And as for luring your Rival for a final showdown, if you have already kidnapped him then there need be no showdown, simply kill him whilst he is at your mercy and throw his lifeless body from the damn. Preferably in pieces.
...why am I even discussing this with you?
That's it, I need a latte.
*evaporates*
In honor of Sundancer's entirely rational choice, some Luchador Ponies;

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
The Pony PbP game I've been wanting to participate in for so long that I got fed up and decided to try running it
As for the pitch, it comes in varying levels of cheesy depending on your appetite. From least silly to most;
- It's an adventure/journey trip about trying to find your way home set in the wider MLP verse and tone of fics such as "Dangerous Business", "Off the Edge of the Map" and "One Last Quest". Making liberal use of the Where the World Ends wiki.
- It's a story about the small decisions that, thanks to simple fate, sometimes have an impact that vastly dwarfs our expectations.
- It's a story about four ponies, stranded on the far side of the world, who might find that getting home is very different from going home.
- Travel the world, meet interesting people, save and/or destroy Equestria in the process.

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
Great, all this Okami talk has make me want to make an OC that is a spirit/element of Rejuvenation. Although one wonders if her presence would put in a dent in all the havoc that goes on occasionally. Randomness is fine, but chaos not so much.

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
RP: now in spoilers and slightly damp
Spoiler
Why, it's year 2 of the glorious joint reign of the royal pony sisters, forever may they prosper. What year did you think it was?
Hi there Joyreaper. It's a pleasure to meet you. What brings you to these-
-AHHH what are you doing?!
Sounds like a pretty interesting game, though I'm curious about how your two different pitches interact. A traveling home journey, to me, is not usually the best place for tiny decisions making a big impact because you don't have time to hang around any one locale and see how you tiny decisions influence others over a long time. Random powerful ponies wandering into new locations is more of a big decision kind of thing.
But, to answer your actual question, 2 months is fine, just make sure your players are engaged and discussing stuff and if everything seems to be ready early, try to be prepped to start early.
