The Canterlot.com Roleplay World Wonder where "place" is in our RP world, or looking for a location to start a new thread? Well now you have a central repository for all the maps and locations for the magical realm of Equestia and the lands beyond! This is the comprehensive location guide with maps and links to all regions. As with everything else this guide is open to future refinement and expansion based on revelation by show canon and created content by the users. A Brief F.A.Q For organizational purposes the world used for our World of Equestria and Canterlot Chronicles games is divided by catagories that represent geographical hierarchy: So what are provinces? A province is the top category that holds either a large geographical location or nation state. There are three provincial level sections: Greater Equestria - Which holds all the lands of the ponies. Aquella - Home of all the Griffin territories. The Outlands - All the peripheral lands outside the first two provincial locations. Provinces as far as RP are concerned are top level forums that are simply containers for all the related regions (or sub-forums) for the sake or RP section organization. One never posts directly into the root of a province level forum. So what are regions? A region is a subsection of a province created to better organize the RP; they correspond to a geographical location within the Province. For example: Greater Equestria is divided into the following regions: Borderlands, Heartland, The Foothills, The Stand, and the Frontier, each representing a relative geographical position as indicated by the ( ) (parentheses) following their name. It is under the region level forum where one would post their RP thread. So what are landmarks? A landmark is a city, town, or geographical feature within a region (Examples: Ponyville, or Whitetail Wood). These are the specific locations referenced for the RP thread itself. They are not forum categories, but instead are tags one can assign when one creates a new RP thread under the appropriate region forum. So how do we figure out the location of the place we want to RP In? Listed below are the RP landmarks in each region that has a tag associated with it. In addition, each link has a more detailed regional map of that region is provided to show the relative location of the landmark, as well as additional names of nearby geographical features one is free to reference to describe additional locations within the RP thread if one so chooses (Note: This isn't a list of every possible geographical feature in the land, just the major ones, so feel free to name your own small brook, or rock, or other minor feature in your RP if it helps the story) How does this all apply to Canterlot Chronicles? Canterlot Chronicles uses the same world locations and map as World of Equestria, but is divided in a far simpler fashion. The Canterlot Chronicles roleplay section is divided in two into a Mainland and Outlands. The Mainland contains all of Greater Equestria and its locations. The Outlands, meanwhile, consists of all the areas outside of Equestria's boundaries, including Aquelia, the Badlands, Unyasi, the Crystal Empire and beyond. Maps of the Equestria and the lands around it that we know General Map of Equestria and Nearby Lands: The Provinces and Regions of Equestria and Beyond Each link provides a description and a map of the province Aquellia - Realm of the Griffins The Canyons, the Heart of Griffon Civilization Talonopolis Rockwington Raptorclaw Canyon Falkensfjord - lore coming soon Errie Eyrie - lore coming soon The Low Country, an untamed and wild land Clopton Shore Neighples Delta Soggalong Swamp Marais de Feu/Eggwater Bay Map: Greater Equestria - Home of Ponykind The Borderlands (Known as the Western Frontier) - The rough and tumble edge of pony settlement Beakbreak City Bareback Gulch Las Pegaus Roughrider Ridge Painted Pinto Desert Appleoosa Dodge Junction Gaberott Starlight's Sanctuary Map: The Heartland of Equestria (Central) - A land of flowing waters and good earth Ponyville Nimbusgait Lakes Everfree Forest Trottingham Cloudsdale The Velvet Strand Vanhoover Castle of the Two Sisters - lore coming soon Map: The Foothills of Equestria (Known also as the East) - The Political and Economic Center of Ponykind Canterlot Canterlot Castle Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns The Veiled Garden Hoofington Solstice Heights Garden Gait Fet Loch Hollow Shades Manehatten Whitetail Wood Hoofenheim Roam Calnais Tall Tale Town Foal Mountain Melodia Map: The Strand (Equestria South) - Equestria's Great Bread Basket Fillydelphia Baltimare Saddleveil Plains Gallopocus Islands Corralwood Corral Okeanos Mustangia Map: The Frontier (Equestria North) - Home of the hardy folks of Stalliongrad, the jewel of the north Marelia Rainbow Falls Saraneighvo Seaddle Stalliongrad Sveltahorse Map: The Outlands - The lands just beyond The Badlands - The mysterious cold land beyond the frontier, here be dragons!

Free RP Rules The Free Roleplay sections of Canterlot.com, by design, have little in the way of set rules. That said, this does not mean these sections have no rules whatsoever. If you intend to partake in the Free Roleplay sections, keep the following in mind: All content must still follow Site Rules and Expectations for Conduct. Make sure you are familiar with the rules listed here before posting anywhere on the forum. Pornographic roleplay of any type is prohibited in all sections of the forum. Sexual roleplay or solicitation of sexual roleplay from minors in forum or private message will be dealt with very harshly. Roleplayers should strive to respect one another. Listen to your roleplay partners and try to treat others fairly. It's more fun for everyone that way. Obey the rule of consent. Players are not required to acknowledge actions that have been forced upon their characters without prior agreement. Players who godmod or otherwise compromise the RP game for others will be reprimanded. If the staff need to interject in a roleplay for any reason, please be understanding and respectful. (Although if you read and follow the rules, this should not happen.)

World of Equestria RP Rules The following is a list of rules that apply to the World of Equestria Roleplay Environment. Please take the time to read and understand them before participating in the RP as they will be enforced. RP Applications The World of Equestria RP allows for two varieties of character to be applied for: cast characters--the familiar characters seen within My Little Pony:Friendship is Magic--and original characters--new characters designed entirely by the applying user. For all characters, a character application must be submitted in the form specified Playable Species List. Characters need to be from one of the listed playable species. Original character applications need to be posted as new topics in the Character Applications section. To keep the number of pending applications to a minimum, only one application titled as READY and one titled as WIP (Work In Progress) are allowed at one time. Your Roleplay character will be assessed by an RP Helper, who may request changes be made in regards to character design. Once the RP Helper is satisfied, a senior RP Helper will review the app and, if satisfied, give it an approval stamp. A Senior RP Helper may also ask for edits to an application. No previous relationships with any cast characters will be allowed within original character applications unless a player with that character has given their approval. Roleplay Etiquette Sexual roleplay, intense violence and gore are not allowed within the World of Equestria roleplay. Romance and relationships are okay, as is mild cartoon violence; just remember that adult content is prohibited on the site. PG/PG-13 is the watchword. Roleplayers in the World of Equestria must always be sure to respect the boundaries of the other players in any given roleplay thread. Users should never take control of other players' characters without permission, and should try not to have their characters take complete control of the events in a thread. Please remember that roleplaying is a collaborative process. Respect the posting rules set by the player who has started the roleplay thread. If there is a turn order, wait your turn. Do not double post in roleplay threads or post OOC (Out Of Character) posts. Never intrude in roleplays marked as private, closed, or Invite-only without contacting the roleplayers involved in the thread first. If you are unsure if a thread is closed, consider contacting the topic starter first. Roleplayers should strive to be courteous and try and interact with as many users who post in a roleplay thread you are involved in as possible. No one likes to be ignored. Roleplay posts in the World of Equestria section should ideally be at least a full paragraph in length. (This means a minimum of five complete original sentences.) This is to ensure quality and so that the current roleplay has enough to build on. If the staff need to interject in an RP for any reason, please be understanding and respectful. (Although if you read and follow the rules, this should not happen.)

I've since done some more effective cable management and pulled some of my unused HDD trays so it doesn't look like such a mess inside. I just haven't taken any case shots since then Spec Sheet Case: Thermaltake Chaser Mk. I CPU: Intel Core i7 3770K (Ivy Bridge) overclocked to 4.2GHz CPU Cooler: Corsair H60 closed-loop liquid cooler RAM: 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws X @ 1600MHz Motherboard: Intel DZ77BH-55K GPU: Asus GTX 660 Ti DC2OC overclocked to 1145MHz PSU: Corsair HX650 HDD: WD Black 7200RPM 2TB This was my first build and after some tweaks and swapping out a lemon HDD, I'm happy with it. It runs BF4 smoothly with some settings optimization and every other game on pretty much max settings. I'm planning on adding an SSD and maybe an upgraded GPU down the road. I have to focus on securing a new job first.

Derp, I forgot about RAM For your purposes, 8GB in 2x 4GB sticks running in dual-channel mode should be plenty. Corsair and G.Skill are good brands. Troll the internet for deals and make sure they're pin-compatible with your motherboard. You might also want to do some research to see if there are any model incompatibilities, since that may happen from time to time. You can get the specs I'm running in my rig in my user profile. My machine was around $1300, so it's close to the price point you're looking at. There are loads of tutorials, build guides, and recommendation videos scattered all over youtube. Linus Tech Tips has very good comprehensive build guides that are very professionally made and the guys Linus works for have a great reputation.

You'll be looking for a mid-tower case then. It balances form factor with space for expansion if you want to add on to your build later in your university career. I like Corsair as a brand, but I've heard good things about Fractal cases as well. I like Intel kit, so I'd recommend an i5 processor. For your purposes you can probably skip out on the K processors (unlocked for overclocking). You won't be needing an SSD, so just pick a large capacity HDD. You can get a 1TB drive for around $80 off Newegg. I like Western Digital as a hard drive brand. I recommend Corsair power supplies. In addition, your $1200 budget should give you room for a Corsair H60 closed-loop liquid cooler for your CPU. It will make your rig quieter and it's more efficient than the stock air cooler that will come with your CPU. Asus makes good motherboards, but I've also seen Gigabyte and MSI recommended. You can also go with the Intel-branded mobos. Finally, for your graphics card, an nVidia GTX 760 is a great mid-range card and should be more than enough for your gaming needs. There are different brands of coolers and PCBs for the same GPUs, but I like Asus' cooler design and tuning software, so I'll recommend their DC2OC series cards. Halide might also have some more information to chime in with since he actually works in a computer shop while I'm just a hobbyist. EDIT: Forgot to add on a bit about OS. I think everyone is still comfy with Windows 7. Windows 8.1 allows you to boot into desktop mode, which I'm told replicates the functionality of W7's desktop and it gives some very good performance gains in some pretty intensive games like Battlefield 4. I haven't used enough Windows 8 enough to give it a vote of confidence, but I'm told it's not as bad as a lot of people make it out to be. When in doubt, choose Windows 7 x64.

Is that $1200 for the tower or $1200 for all hardware? $1200 for the tower gives you a lot of flexibility over the kinds of components you can use. If it's $1200 for everything, it gets a good bit tighter, but still entirely doable.
