So on the Canterlot Chronicles RP board it said there are no made up races or Ursa Majors/Minors. I'm probably subverting the rules somehow, sorry, but Is there a thing as an Ursa Lesser or something bear like playable? Bears are my favorite, and i love RPing them when I can. New brony here, sorry if I seem like an idiot.

Sorry, but I lack the inner machinisms to copy Patrick Star any further, but yeah. Some people don't enjoy forum RP. An IRC would be quick, efficient, and easy. Whaddya think? "Wisdom, your genius is showing!" "WHERE?!"

Greetings Canterlot, Lately I've been in dire need of contacting RP Helpstaff members with some question which were bugging me, but didn't deserve a separate topic to wage debates about it. Thankfully for me, I've had enough contacts to fulfill my curiosity and clarify the issues I've had. But lately I've had an incident of meeting a user in chat, who had a question concerning OC I couldn't answer due to lack of appropriate knowledge. So, I've started wondering who I could suggest her to talk with, but to my surprise the options were quite limited. Because I had basically no idea about who the helpstaff are. Now there, what I'm aiming at. It would be a good thing to find a place for posting the current staff list to public knowledge. Both the admins/mods and helpstaff alike. Of course, you can check this all. Mods/Admins at the "Moderating team" at the bottom of the board, RP helpstaff by following the "Awards tab". So, since it's public information already, a clear list posted somewhere in tutorials/news/placeofyourchoice would be a nice addition and would certainly ease the lives of regular users. On my example, I'd gladly see a list of RP helpstaff to be able to reach for help from more sources in case I wouldn't like to constantly abuse Rosie or Phil ;D What does the Canterlot think of this idea?

Once in a blue moon, I meet someone actually interested in giving the show a chance. Which makes sense, considering that when dealing with anything with this much hype behind it, one might imagine there must be something to it. Do you recommend a specific episode to them, or just let 'em run wild with whatever they happen to grab hold of? I make an effort to suggest watching "Lesson Zero" before episodes one and two. Why? A lot of people have a hard time appreciating the first few episodes (even certain bronies), because they just don't provide viewers with as much of what many bronies get out of the other episodes. I feel like the character "introductions" are all shamefully flat and done in a hurry, and the humor you see spotting the show just isn't there. I believe you can actually get a better feel for the characters through other episodes, because what you learn by watching them in action dwarfs the pitiful introductions they received. I'm not trying to make it an express point that the first two episodes are bad, I'm simply stating that it's often difficult for a newcomer to really appreciate the introductory episodes for what they are. I don't believe that they do the show proper justice, and that when trying out the show for the first time (especially if one has drooping expectations), it's better to open with something that will. This isn't all written in speculation, either. I've had much better results (although this may just be coincidental) recommending Lesson Zero than shrugging and saying, "start at the beginning." Once the viewer has a feel for the show, it will be easier for them to appreciate the first two episodes and the logic behind them. I feel like it's because the show (like all media) has a "style" behind it that viewers can grow attached to. I'll make a personal example out of my feelings towards the band "Modest Mouse." They jump around between a variety of genres, many of which would be difficult for me to get into. I listened to one of their songs, titled "The World at Large" at a music sharing party, and fell in love with it instantly. I listened to more of the music they produced that was similar to The World at Large, and somewhere along the way, it came to be that it wasn't the songs I liked, but the artist. At that point I found myself enjoying their other work as well; pieces I never would have found anything in before dotted my library because I had fallen in love with their "style," per se. I believe this phenomenon occurs not only in music but in webcomics, art, television, and multimedia in general. How did I get so far off topic? Tl;DR? pOst whtvr Epsode U use to shw mlp 2 ppl. GOGOGOGOGOGOGO!

I was thinks: "Would it be a good idea to have NPCs in Pony RPs?" It got me to thinking of how they would work and what their basics would be and I think I've got some. RP NPC Attributes Used as minor/comic roles Example: Character gives RPers a quest/is the one who "starts" the RP [*]For use by (almost) anypony By "almost", I mean the creator can allow for anypony to use them or require them to ask permission. [*]Character is (mostly) open ended, allowing for adaption for others. I've also got a slightly modified version of the RP Application to possibly be used as an NPC Application Template. [b]Name:[/b] [b]Sex:[/b] [b]Age:[/b] [b]Species:[/b] [b]Pelt Color:[/b] [b]Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style:[/b] [b]Eye Color:[/b] [b]Cutie Mark:[/b] [b]Physique:[/b] [b]NPC Type:[/b] - Types: FiM Character, OC [b]Occupation:[/b] (optional) [b]Description of Character:[/b] - A very short version of Character Summary. Very simple, no story. [b]Permission Type:[/b] - Types: FfA(Free for All), PM(PM the creator) This is very basic right now, I'm hoping to get more input before adding anything else.
