Snowshoe

I'm currently watching a Star Wars marathon on Spike, just finishing up Return of the Jedi.

Before that I watched Eight Crazy Nights.

Treasure Planet was so awesome.

Actually, I weirdly seem to enjoy animated 'kids' movies a lot more now than I did when I was younger. I liked them when I was younger, but now I kind of appreciate them more, I suppose.

Exactly. I loved Treasure Planet as a kid for the movie itself. Now I look at it and wish it had some expanded lore, because it's a very unique and interesting setting, the whole spacepunk/steampunk/skypunk stuff.

As Frain said, Each field needs it's own line, like so:

RP Type
Name
Age

Etc. Keeps it nice and clean.

Other points of interest for the application:

1. The name. Fidget is fine as a pony name, but Cassidy LaRouche seems a bit too un-ponified of a name to work.

2. I love the character's story, but I'm just curious if Banhammer gave the Okay to an existing relationship with Rockefilly.

Technically all of us. Remember what this forum is dedicated to?

As for me, I still love Legos and old Disney movies. Treasure Planet and Oliver and Company still entertain me to this day.

Dan smiled and nodded, removing his hat as the Sheriff made the introductions. "Mr. Rockefilly, Ms. LeMare, a pleasure to meet you both." he said sincerely. He had seen Ms. LeMare around town, but never Mr. Rockefilly...he figured that he must have been from out of town or something as he had never once seen him around Appleloosa.

"Never been to one of these hoedowns before. It'll be-" Dapper Dan continued, hearing a shout from off to the side. He stepped out of the way as a white mare tore past him in pursuit of a brown stallion. He chuckled as the Sheriff berated them a little for their behaviour. Another group he'd never seen around before. He was meeting all sorts of new people here at this hoedown.

They sounded like Appleloosans, especially at the mare's outburst. Dapper Dan turned to see a little red blur of a filly running among the crowd. By the time he registered what was happening, he had to quickly take another step back, nearly stumbling into the dirt, to avoid having the filly run into him. He saw Ms. LeMare get tripped, but before he could walk over to ask if she was alright, she seemed to have come up okay. He chuckled again as he watched the trio of ponies get onto the stage.

"Well, it's certainly been an exciting night so far."

The writing differs from episode to episode, so it's going to be tough to figure out an alphabet.

The: "I need Ponyarchive because I DO break the law but I don't know where else to go!"

In an interesting twist, if we assume that this counts as downloading, this is totally legal for me here in Canada. I can download for free, just not upload.

I would love an AJ episode.

Just watch Equestria Daily or Derpyhooves on Saturday mornings, they always provide Youtube links.

Oh, I know. That's where I acquire them from. But if Hasbro CnDs Ponyarchive I can bet it'll be a matter of time before they CnD the YouTube episodes.

I really, really hope that I don't have to turn to The Pirate Bay every Saturday to watch MLP. MLP is, in all seriousness, one of the few things keeping me from caving under the stress of Finals, and the thought of a new episode on the horizon is keeping me from getting depressed over how bad I'm doing in my classes. I would hate to have to torrent episodes because up here in Canada, at least here in Ottawa on basic cable, I don't get the Hub.

Set to Final, ready for evaluation.

Great to hear. I may come up for occasion snowboarding Although Ollie is more skateboarder first. Canterlot being a big city, I figure there'd be lots of places to skate.

Damn, man. That's awesome. Also, Blalack's reaction to you talking about MLP is very interesting. I half expected him to laugh about MLP, but when he mentions the gender roles thing I had to smile: someone that's not a brony that understands you don't have to be a girl to watch this show, that it's fun for all.

Also the lightning - we see Dash summoning lightning from the cloud in "Luna Eclipsed" (while in "Friendship is Magic Pt 1" she summons Rain from a similar cloud) which makes me wonder if they have much more fine-control over what happens to clouds becides just moving them around and standing on them...

Actually this brings up a thought to me: contrails are created by water vapour and jet engine exhaust. However, a similar effect is produced called Wingtip Vortices (the thin clouds seen on the tips of high speed aircraft like jet fighters). It's entirely possible that as a pegasus flies at relatively high speeds (the Wonderbolts are shown in season 2 as being able to fly fast enough to be blurs (Sweet and Elite) and shear off dragon spines (Secret of My Excess), so it's possible they preform at high speeds too), they form a similar kind of "magic" contrail or wingtip vortex or other condensation trail, which, using the pegasus' innate ability to control clouds, could be used to modify these trails: for the 'Bolts, they use friction generated by their suits to charge the clouds with static to make thunderclouds, while Dash modifies her "contrails" through pegasus magic to cause them to separate into a mist, which when the sun hits causes a rainbow. Neither the Wonderbolts nor Dash always leave trails behind, and in Sonic Rainboom, the 'Bolts are flying slower than usual and while they still have a trail, it's brighter than usual and there's no lightning.

I'm not 100% sure just what "magic" earth ponies have, what little I've seen seems to just be common sense...

I'm not sure about the dragons, though - spike's fire seems to send stuff to celestia, but other dragons in the series lack such a skill. I'm wondering if it's a specific spell he casts before he does it (Making him a minor mage?)

That's a similar explanation to what a friend of mine said "All unicorns can perform magic, it's just harder for (non-mages)" citing how much trouble it was for the unicorn to make his horn glow --- but that he COULD do it. Of course this then begs the question of where the limits lie... and do they change per unicorn? the Princesses are downright Reality Warpers (but this could be due to their being Alicorns/Pegacorns or godesses) Could twilight do the same with more effort? Could Snips+Snails? (though the latter I think the required effort might kill them...)

Not just smoke though - lightning too ("best night ever" when they first fly out in "reality" and also in Dash's "dream")

in order:

Again, I can't find the interview, but one, with Faust herself I believe, has it stated that magic exists for all ponies. Remember that magic doesn't need to manifest itself as powers: pegasi can control weather, stand on clouds, and manipulate them into "solid" objects. For all we know Earth pony magic involves a connection to the earth that lets them be more adept at growing plants, or aiding animals, etc.

Spike was hatched by magic. Perhaps that gave him his letter sending ability?

It's less effort, more innate skill I believe. Also note that there's magic but not particularly "mages", per se. Spike doesn't need to be a mage to do his letter sending thing, it's innate. Twilight is shown to have incredible innate ability at magic, while others, like say Rarity, are shown with only minor manipulation of items. It just relates to their innate abilities...Twilight, being a powerful unicorn, has magic as her special ability. Rarity, a dressmaker, uses her ability to manipulate a sewing machine, needle, etc.

Finally, the 'Bolts. I still say magic suits involving static electricity for the 'Bolts' trails, that can be turned on or off. It's not present when they fly in Sweet and Elite nor in Secret of My Excess, only performances. Either pegasi can create "contrails", or the 'Bolts' suits are at work.

All your points are valid food for thought though ^^

Roleplay Type: Mane

Name: Ollie McTwist, often just Twist

Sex: Male

Age: Just on the edge of Colt and Stallion

Species: Earth Pony

Eye Color: Brown

Coat Color: Red

Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: Green and gold mane and tail, both a little wild with his mane spiked.

Physique: A bit slimmer than most colts/stallions.

Cutie Mark: A skateboard truck and wheels

Origin/Residence: Solstice Heights, spends most of his time there or Canterlot

Occupation: Skateboarder and snowboarder, more of the former.

Motivation: Inspire a new generation of boarders, and own his own shop someday.

Character Summary: Twist is a troublemaker, no doubt about it. He and his friends have been causing a mild ruckus around Solstice Heights and Canterlot ever since they learned of, and bought, their first skateboards. Ollie's parents are the only ones in the group that don't disprove of it...it helped him get his cutie mark, after all. Still, not many approve of the three wild friends skating around, grinding rails and doing tricks off of stairs, interrupting people's daily lives.

He'd been a blank flank for a while, one of the last from his class. He'd exhausted every possibility...his two friends had their own cutie marks, unrelated to skateboarding but just the same, they had them. Then one day, while they were out skateboarding, Ollie fell. Now this wasn't a simple fall from the board thing...it was a ten foot fall from the upper walkway of a park toward the fountain below. But somehow, Ollie not only managed to turn disaster into something good, he did it with style. He got in a good Impossible to get the board righted again, and landed on the edge of the fountain, grinding around it before hoping off onto the path.

His friends were first awestruck, then congratulated him on both the amazing trick and the cutie mark.

After that, he was a little depressed though. What could Ollie do with a skateboarding cutie mark? The answer came when he saw a very other skateboarders one day, and realized that they were professionals, and got paid good bits to do this. It made Ollie smile...now he had a plan. Once he was old enough, and had enough money, he'd start up his own skateboarding shop. Until then, he skates, having incredible amounts of fun at the same time.

Seems good though I just glanced over it so far. Just one thing, as far as coding goes, it should go

With the information outside the bold tags.

I think it's been stated that everyone has magic. Earth ponies have a special magic connection to the earth, etc. So it can be seen that everyone has magic (dragons with magic fire, zebras with magic that allows them to make their brews, etc). However, in the case of Spike, being hatched by magic could possibly have an effect.

Also, there was just recently posted here an explanation for unicorn magic in that every unicorn has a different level of magic, allowing some to preform more magic than the other.

As for the Wonderbolts creating their trails, I chalk it up to their suits: Aerobatic teams rely on smoke to enhance their tricks, making them more visual. The suits may be magic'd to allow them to create stormcloud trails. Dash may use her pegasus magic to a similar effect showing how she wishes she was part of that aerobatic team.

You'd have to be off your trolley to not have used one of the kajillion free cloud-storage solutions.

TBH, I don't trust cloud-storage for a whole lot of things. I have a terabyte HD I use for most of my files.

Define died. If your hard-drive is still good, you can pull it and recover your fanfics easy.

I got started with Bridle Gossip, and personally would recommend that, though a lot of others are good, like Fall Weather Friends. The season opener of season 2 might be good if the friends are Trekkies, as Discord will win them over for being Q, ponified. It's also amusing, and sets the characters up as well. Over A Barrel is fun too.

Hello, nice server ya got here!

I'd like to humbly request that you pick a different name than "Ponycraft", since there is a well established server with that name that has been running since last March.

http://www.ponycraft.net/

and another server was even fighting over the name

http://www.ponycraft.org/

so maybe you could be like the Canterlot.com Minecraft server?

btw just so people know who I am, I own http://www.brohoof.com/ and I welcome your server to the herd of MLP themed Minecraft servers, there are quite a lot of us!

From what I can tell, it's just named Canterlot in my MP server list.

Guile's Theme, obviously. Just kidding, lol.

Seriously, would either be Colossal by Wolfmother, just because I love that chorus and intro riff. I also love playing this song, it feels great to rock out to.

Or, for just calm, average days, Concerning Hobbits. I hike to this song, and occasionally whistle it.

-If Fluttershy falls in the woods and nopony's around to hear it, does she still make a noise? (okay, that was bad)

It would be so quiet anypony nearby still wouldn't hear it.

Kill a *lot* of endermen and get ender pearls. Go into the nether and kill blazes. Do something with the loot and the ender pearls, i forget what, and you get Eyes of Ender.

Throw an eye into the air, and it streaks towards the nearest stronghold, then drops to the earth again. Be ready for a long, long, *long* journey cause strongholds are very few and far between.

Two per world, also, it's one blaze powder (gotten from blaze rods) from killing Blazes. I accidentally wasted my only Ender Pearl, I planned to hit the Nether.

@Diego

Thank God for the /home command. I just follow a path and once I feel my luck has reached a climax, I /home before it takes a turn for the worst. So far I've got a half stack of gold, multiple stacks of Redstone, Iron, and Coal, and a bit of Lapis, and the cave isn't even half explored yet.

Edit: Underneath the abandonned NPC village near my house, there's a cave system + a bunch of obsidian blocks that I repurposed into a nether frame...am I okay to light it?
