Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
I'm somewhat curious why Lyra doesn't have her lyre, but whatever.
Anyway, in order to get rid of the parasprites, we ask Pinkie Pie to break the fourth wall, and then shove the parasprites through the fourth wall to the planet Kalamazoi. Have you ever heard of Kalamazoi? No? That's why.
On a more serious note, I'd probably get Flitter to herd the parasprites towards the Everfree forest, led by a cupcakes-throwing Pinkie Pie. (Bread crumbs to the everfree forest, with Flitter catching any stragglers.)I run a Let's Play channel! Check it out!

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
Regular parasprites, or eat-anything parasprites?
SpoilerProbably the best strategy would be having Flitter scout around town for any strays, and have Fluttershy round up and keep the sprites together. Get Pinkie and Lyra gather up all the sugar and edibles, then set up a trail (or run their tails off) leading them back into the Everfree. Flitter would ideally be on-hand to keep any strays with the group as they were being led away from Ponyville, with Fluttershy coaxing any single parasprites left behind to follow her into Everfree.
Once they get into the Everfree, probably the best way to lose the parasprites would be to dump the candy into the river. The parasprites would follow it downstream, which means the ponies could run off and avoid being followed.
I hope you meant for a story, rather than something about that new iOS game. If the second, then I just made a big fool of myself.SpoilerThank you to zimmerwald1915 for the Gustave avatar.

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
Yes, this is for a story. It's a slightly modified scenario, but in short, the crazier the plan the better
Lyra can have her lyre, I just want to avoid the solution from the show. Also let's go with eat-everything parasprites to make things really interesting. The actual scenario doesn't actually have parasprites, but they work just as well. Just think of anything small, really annoying, in vast numbers and causing lots and lots of trouble.Last edited by Deadly; 2012-11-12 at 03:05 PM.

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
Simple solution: leave an offering of arsenic/cyanide-laced items in the center of town, and herd the parasprites in that general direction

Ponies not only make ME want to be a better person than I was before they entered my life, they make me want to HELP OTHERS be better people too.

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
Really it was just Pinkie acknowledging that even she has to sleep sometimes.
Well my version was to bake Poison Joke into food and feed that to the Parasprites. What's a funny version of Parasprites? Pacman. Thus population control has been established as well as limiting them to small mouse food pellets with the occasional cherry.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 LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
Oh no, Ponyville is being invaded by Furbys!
Refinement of plan: Everypony spreads out and herds the parasprites towards the center of town. Fluttershy keeps them distracted while Pinkie and Lyra load up saddlebags with candy from their respective shops. Pinkie/Lyra hoof it through the parasprite crowd and into Everfree forest, then dump the candy in the river to lead the parasprites away.
Now the fun part comes not from the plan being crazy, but from the plan falling apart from unexpected variables. Such as, say, the (so far passive) parasprites turning out to be the eat-anything variant, and after chasing ponies and chewing holes in the saddlebags, they aren't interested in following the candy.
Oh, and Lyra can have her lyre. Pinkie needed to make a full band to lead the parasprites away, and it isn't guaranteed that it would work without the right combination of instruments.SpoilerThank you to zimmerwald1915 for the Gustave avatar.

Very long, very enjoyable, and some of the lines are so delightfully cheesy when redone in FiM lingo.

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
I can't say I'm surprised
I don't imagine there are a lot of poison joke lying around anywhere in Ponyville, much less Sugarcube Corner or BonBon's place, though
Indeed. Music might aid, possibly, but I wouldn't expect it to be the solution.

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
Using the combined resources of Sugarcube Corner and Bon Bon's whatever, they bake a lifelike costume of the parasprite queen. With Flitter inside to make it really fly and Lyra using her magic to give it Authentic Parasprite Movements™, the deception is sure to win over the entirety of the parasprite population. With their new army of nigh invulnerable little critters, our quartet marches on Canterlot and seizes control of the govenment from the incompetent hooves of Celestia.
Alternatively, you take a page out of a certain goblin's book and get rich off of a new line of parasprite pies.
EDIT: Oh deary me, what was I thinking? This is Equestria, that should be a parasprite princess.Last edited by ICN; 2012-11-12 at 03:57 PM.

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
Flour dust, suspended in air is quite explosive.
Lure them all to the town square, fill the air with flour, light a match and stand well back.

Alternatively;
Spoiler
A pair of bellows, a big sack, some Pinkie Pie wacky-machine-engineering and a little bit of burning wick at the end, near the nozzle, and you have a one or two pony extermination team. Possibly a good way to clean up the survivors of the flourspolsion in the town square.

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
If you're looking for silly plans, there's always the pegasus-powered vaccuum-tuba (provided by Lyra, retrofitted by Pinkie) that would suck up the parasprites and store them in a bag.

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
You'd attach bike pedals to it, of course, and use their wings to cycle it for the vaccuum. (Don't start asking how a Pinkie Pie invention actually works, though. )
[Edit] Oversized bike pedals, with one pegasus on each. One pushes down while the other pushes up, pedaling the whole thing.Last edited by erikun; 2012-11-12 at 04:29 PM.

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
Give them olive oil. Olive oil tends to make people feel quite full, so they don't eat as much. Perhaps it would even make them sick enough to stop eating?
It's sure better than trying to explain a pony baking cynaide or explosives. Unless that is the kind of fic you are writing...SpoilerThank you to zimmerwald1915 for the Gustave avatar.

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
Yeah. I have some explosions already, but cyanide is definitely too dark for this story. It's just a random, silly adventure rated for everyone, much like the show itself.
I think I'm going to go with your vaccuum idea, mixed with Pinkie's crazy chopper, because then I can have Lyra playing "Ride of the Valkyries" as they suck up parasprites. I even have a super silly name for the sucker

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
This - I've just seen it myself - unfortunately sort of invalidates the experiment, actually, since with a contest on it, it is going to skew the "natural" results. And there is an upper limit to the amount of time I'm prepared to devote to this (both in the analysis (did we ever get any more suggestions on that point than the last one) and in the drawing. As if it gets too big, it'll become a chore and then there's no point anymore. (Much as I hate to back out of anything, I also know my limits. When I first posted the idea, I was banking on having to draw one picture if and only if the brony fandom surprised me by not doing it; I'm already stretching a bit beyond that. I just don't have the time or inclination to spend days on this; especially given that this is really all extraneous to my point, as we had the first sympathetic portrail in just over twenty-four hours.)
So we'll have to see how many results come out of it. It might only be practical to do a proportional analysis (and, given the small size of the contest submissions - which of course will likely mean higher volumes - count a submission as a fraction of "one" for the purposes of my final count.) Or disregard the contest result completely, though that's not very satisfactory either. I dunno. We'll have to see.
Actually, scrub all that, on examination, Seth means the "contest" is in the comments section, rather than something semi-official like the holiday fanfic contests or drawing events that Phoe organises (whose name escapes at the moment). So I think I have to say, on that basis, it doesn't count as "fanart/fanfiction" (especially as it's 300 words or less, and not "no more than 300 words") for my purposes; I'm not gonna count anything that short as viable, no matter how silly or sympathetic it is (I'm not going to devote time and energy to assess or draw something on a two-or-three line thing that took somepony two minutes to write, sorry.) If we get some "proper" fanfiction out of it, that will still count and I'll take my lumps (within reason).
(Unless something there is of utterly stupendously quality - which might happen - but I'm not personally going to trawl through nearly three hundred comments already looking for that.)Last edited by Aotrs Commander; 2012-11-12 at 05:59 PM.
