I go by the name "Fimbulwinter" in the chat. Most of you don't know me, I guess that'll make this easier. I haven't visited the forums for months, and I barely posted when I did, so I guess it's time to make it official: I'll be leaving the Canterlot comunity. There is no point in me staying around if I'm not going to post anything, and I don't interact in the chat either, so it's kinda like if I didn't even existed. Besides, I just don't feel like part of the comunity anymore, and I don't enjoy coming here. It doesn't help that my mind has been going through some troubling moments, making me question a lot of things. Maybe I'll appear in the chat room once in a while, but probably not. I am sure I won't be missed, and my absence won't be noticed, but I thought I'd post it. Bye.

It is almost the same as a MUD. The only difference is that MUDs are coded specifically with traditional RPGs mechanics (combat, economy, skills, etc) and the game masters (or wizards) build the world for you to play in, while a MUSH is more oriented towards role playing and allows the users to build the world, but has less functionality imlemented, though with some effort one can code whatever you'd want, so in a sense you could build a MUD starting from a MUSH, but not the other way around. I hope that explains it.

Canterlot didn't know, that's why I'm posting this. Um... do you mean the Trixie that hasn't connected in almost 2 months? Or maybe there is another Equestrian Dawn?

Hello fillies and gentlecolts. I haven't posted in these forums for months, so it feels kinda weird that my first post since my absence is an advertisement... but I'll try to be around here more to make up for that. I've mentioned this a few times in the chat and I just got permission to post this here. It is a pony MUSH that someone started around two months ago, and I'm now helping as co-admin. For those who don't know, a MUSH is a text based virtual world focused on roleplaying which gives the users the oportunity to help building the world. This means that if you like fancy stuff (like pictures and sound), you won't like this, but it's still a lot of fun. We are just starting and there is a lot left to build, but we have a few players already and some RP going on, and more players means more fun and faster growth. The blog is http://equestriandawn.blogspot.com/ and the ip of the mush is tangent.dune.net port 8789. You'll have to download a MUSH client first. I hope some of you come by and pay us a visit, we're always looking for new friends.

Skye... you beat me to it. I was writing a post along the same lines... I curse you forever

Hey, I found this and thought it would be relevant. Didn't know how to embed so here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEvUd0mCOgQ

I think it's completely logical.

Captain Timberflank When Keylime came back with the piles of food, everything else faded from the captain's mind. The succulent dishes looked shinier than any treasure he had seen in his adventuring life. With a huge effort he mantained his composure and tried to eat as slowly as was considered proper, but the hunger was just too much to bare, and the poor captain swooped on the food like there was no tomorrow. So focused was the captain that he barely listened to what Keylime had to say about the place and the decorations. However, when he heard the word ship his face inmediately changed. A deep frown appeared where once was a gleeful expresion, his gaze fixated in a distant point, and he stoped eating (there wasn't much food left anyways). "A ship... I had a ship once. It was the biggest, prettiest, awe inspiring-iest vessel you could ever imagine. "Equestrian Pride" was his name, and he surely lived up to that. Me, my ship and my crew traveled the seas, visiting far away islands, finding new settlements and trading with them, fighting against the raging storms and no less scary creatures. But that life is no more... ". The captain remained silent for a few seconds in a trance like state, before finally snaping out. "Anyways it is a long story, and I guess you don't have time for that. You'd want your plants as soon as posible"

@Zeph: In that same clip, on the 10:28 mark appears the same pony in a full body view, and the cutie mark is clearly noticeable, as well as the other characteristics. I'd say it was a color coincidence. They're different shades also.

Captain Timberflank The captain followed her directions and sat on one of the stools. "Ahhh... a breakfast sounds good right now, thank ye. I can't be picky, just drop in everythin' ye got" he said, as he gazed at the cute hostess while she went into the kitchen. He noticed that the red collar around her neck and the flower she had in her hair gave her a quite exotic appeareance. "By the way, I'm captain Timberflank. I read yer announce and it interested me, so yer hired... I mean I'm hired... I mean I want ye to hire me. I could use the money, not to mention the exercise." The captain looked around the place, trying to think of a conversation topic. "So... this seems like a nice place. Did you build it yerself?

Captain Timberflank It was a misty and eerie morning, nothing could be seen beyond one's snout, but a peculiar sound could be heard: three clops and one knock, the last one more prominent than the others, the secuence repeating itself ever nearer. Suddenly a shadowy figure appears, tall, intimidating, majestic. It could perfectly be a knight, a king, a god blessing the simple peasants with his magnificence. But no; it was and adventurer, a stallion of the sea, a mighty and heroic warrior who has won as many battles as he has fought. A quite handsome specimen too, someone who melts the heart of every mare and filly who is unfortunate enough to lay her eyes upon the master piece that is his body. Then, in a sudden movement he lifts both his front legs, a thunder roars in the distance. Truly an awe inspiring image. Sadly, an image that only existed in the imagination of the emaciated captain Timberflank. Or maybe it was an hallucination caused by the hunger. The poor pony could barely crawl and looked like he had been recently caught by a tornado. The only sentiment it could inspire was pity, if anything. The thunders he heard were caused by his stomach, which hadn't gotten any food in days. Also, it was a sunny morning. - "Confounded traitors, they shall be keelhauled for this!! Of course... when I get a keel in which they can be hauled... But when I do, they will taste my FURY!!" - "GRRRRR" answered his stomach, apparently sharing the same hatred as the captain. - "But first... I shall find some food... anything will do... I'll even eat another pony if I have to... Somepony has to be well fed enough as to last for a week. Maybe if I take off my peg and smack someone in the head I-" Suddenly he stopped murmuring. Something had caught his attention, one single word: "lunch". The captain slowly turned his head to the right and saw an announce. It didn't just say lunch, it was FREE lunch. For LIFE. He started reading the announce from the start. "... dormant mountain... 100 bits...". That was enough for him: adventure, money and free food. He didn't finish reading; completely reinvigorated by these prospects, he stood up and immediately ran down the street, ready to meet this opportunity that fate had laid in front of him. Ten seconds later the captain returned with an annoyed expression to read the announce once again: "Mumblemumble... The Tutti Fruity Cafe! ONWARDS!!!" After half an hour of running in circles and constantly tripping the captain finally reached his destiny. But before he could open the door, he saw his reflection in a window. "Is that really me? I can't introduce myself looking like that! I am, above all, a gentlecolt, and I must cause a good first impression". The captain spent a few more minutes trying to clean himself up and combing his hair. He found a small string laying on the ground, which he used to tie his mane in a ponytail, and proceeded to enter the cafe with a dignified stance.

I don't have any pony. I don't own any toy for that matter.

I can't see any of those pics, cause for some reason imageshack doesn't work for me.

When you said a doodle, this isn't what I expected O.o Do you mind if I make it my oficial pic? Also, just now I noticed that I mixed my left with my right =P.
