  1. Is it just me, or is Hasbro sendiing very mixed messages? First they acknoledge Bronies Next they attack Pony Archive Then they hire somone specifically to handle "MLP in Pop Culture" Now they're taking our Scootaloo (If this is the one I'm thinking of (where I want to say it was Mando started singing Jingle bells normally, then Scoot takes over and turns it into a rock ballad), I'm really P.O.d too, it was adorable!) Like I said... Anyone else seeing mixed messages here?
  2. Lol, everyone wants links! The most recent (dont recall the past ones) was WingMares off Equestria Daily: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/12/story-wingmares.html If I remember others or can find links I'll post them. This. It swings both ways, we REALLY DONT know anything about discords motives, he could have been an Absolute Monster, or just a Trickster God. He could have gone psycho or continued to just play the jester. Untill more is known about him we really have no way of telling. Also lets not forget, being a god, he may suffer from Blue and Orange Morality, so it might not really be his fault...
  3. I still have a large (still growing) collection of plushies despite my age. I still enjoy a lot of old cartoons (especially Disney stuff from my childhood - Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck, TailSpin, Gargoyles, DuckTales, even GummiBears!) and even a few new 'kiddy' cartoons (Bounty Hamster and, obviously MLP:FiM) in that same vein I still enjoy a lot of G-rated movies aimed at kids (BOLT being the first to mind)
  4. Zing! ouch! you got me right between the eyes with that one!
  5. I never found it, gave up when I died again went back to mining and found like 6 gold blocks so... yeah... may try again sometime but for now I cant find it much less get through it! lol
  6. My go-to answer is any living object that is transported in any way except through normal means or a tunnel of some sort, dies. I'm planning to keep that. It could be said that their ability to manipulate weather has degraded over time, so it does not come easily to them anymore. With proper intense training they could gain back some of the prowess, hence the Wonderbolts forming clouds in their wake, but for mass-production of weather it requires a factory with efforts of many Pegasi. It has been seen in the series though (I think) unicorns working on farms and growing things. However I'm going to agree on the pegasus Idea because it fits perfectly! In Canon, all flying creatures can walk on clouds, magic or no. Gilda the Griffen could do it, and in may the best pet win, all the birds and insects were seen doing it. (asuming you mean my story) I planted my flag in the ground after Sisterhooves social (that is to say I split my Fanon after that episiode, so any new information may-or-may-not apply such as Tank never appearing), so there was no way of knowing spike wouldn't have wings (and there is still some argument due to his growth in Secret of my Excess being very uneven and irregular because of magic) Thus I treated him as a dragon who's wings simply hadn't grown in, thus he could walk on clouds.
  7. Says who?! lol, back on my old server I had 2 treasure rooms, one was hidden, only accessable through a series of 3 well-hidden teleporters, and the other was a severe deathtrap, filled to the brim with lava, 'bottomless' pits, cacti, TNT, you name it! (my old server didnt have locking chests so bizare measures were often needed, an, in fact, I like that idea, even if it is inconvenient)
  8. I've seen a few good FlutterDash shippings, based on their Canon relationship (which appears closer than any of the other ponies) it can be taken romantically and work... but ANY romance is tricky to pull off and I tend to agree, it's VERY hit-or-miss
  9. ooo! you mean you have traps, puzzles, and in short... a dungeon!?! I'm game! Let me grab my stone sword and see how many corpses I can leave in the level! lol
  10. A large brick to the head should shave off enough IQ points that he wont care anymore! (j/k!) I really want to say that if you explained your feelings and told him the truth, that it would make the difference, that he would accept you and you'd hug and be best friends forever... but unless you find a portal to equestria, that ain't gonna' happen... Best bet is to watch it on a laptop, sitting against the wall, with headphones on, so that he cant see what it is, and be ready to quickly alt-tab to something else. Depending on how obvious your bronyism is, you might even look at picking your least-favorite episode and making a loud rant about it, claiming it destroyed the series for you and you'll never be able to watch FiM again, then go deep underground with it. Not the best of options, but somtimes you gotta do whatcha gotta do... Short of moving out I really dont see much options since he obviously isnt going to move out...
  11. Well you gotta remember, the ting about evil siblings is they have to be dealt with. It's almost impossible to make them 'not evil' so they have to be killed, put in jail, shot into outer space, etc. There really isnt a clean way the mane 6 can handle it (which is a little disappointing, I love "evil twin" episodes, even more so when "cant get in trouble for nuthin'" is invoked!)
  12. No offence, I mean I quote Wikis all the time, but... that doesnt really fit with the overall theme of FiM in my opinion... Not that I'd rule it out, since imo Over a Barrel and MMDW also didnt fit... but I wouldnt hold my breath on that...
  13. I'm still trying to decide wheather he can send objects this way or not. Obviously if they fit inside the scroll (such as the 2 tickets in "The Ticket Master") but what about larger objects? (for instance, I'm writing a story right now where Spike is trapped in Dash's cloud house (fun story there, if your interested I'll post the outline) and he's trying to tell celestia where he is, so he sends random items to her from RD's house in hopes she puzzles it out (Wonderbolts Poster, Cloudsdale Weather Factory Hat, Cloudaseum Best Young Flier ticket stub --- amusingly these convince clestia that he's in cloudsdale)
  14. Oh geeze, i think I can name maybe half of them from memory (OMG! Huckleberry Hound!) a large number I dont even know... still great pic though, lots of nostalgia there. HOLY S***!!! When did WB start hiring real animators and real songwriters! I actually saved that! (For anyone wanting to really dig back, that's techncially getting back to their roots - Loony Tunes and it's opposition "Merry Melodies" both began as a sort of music video (back in the days of B+W movies) but they were never this awesome! I might just have to look into the new series if they're all like that... (or was that the one-in-a-million good clip?) Ahem... back on topic... TV as a whole is falling apart. Everything is going to on-demand and everything else is going to the internet (and soemtimes both!) I seriously think in 10 years or less "TV" as we know it will no longer exist, and we'll all just have a giant super-simle PC hanging in our living room that connects to verious video services like youtube and Netflix.
  15. The mystery was solved! http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p9pdkrlbdEQ/TuzWx4TMp6I/AAAAAAAAYRc/Il3Vi4pxN3k/s1600/Capture.PNG (taked from Equestria Daily) Spike's item-teleport breath IS a spell taught to him by Celestia, though specifics are vague, it is a special ability that only he has, not other dragons.
  16. A friend on another forum had an addition to this idea that I love - with how Applebloom loves to help Zecora, perhaps the filly accidentally mixed up the potions, which would explain why Dash got the wrong one (and would add another level to the story where AB would have to decide whether to come clean and admit she made a mistake, or let it slide and allow Zecora to think that SHE messed up (of course AB would make the right decision in the end, but it would be interesting to watch her squirm and worry that if she admitted it, Zecora would never let her help again!)
  17. Depends on the episode. MMDW I watched 1 time because I didnt like it, Lesson Zero I've watched close to 10 because I LOVE watching twilight slowly come unhinged! lol Most roughly 3 times though.
  18. Meh, So many villians have a hard exterior and a soft nugat inside, Discord we really dont know. In my opinion he could go either way (though hoenstly, I agree - that's how I always play him off in my stories, completely insane with a dash of evil, but he's never killed anyone for better or for worse...)
  19. I cant speak for anypony else, but my rule is to find the farthest-out area that's in use, then walk a full day/night cycle from there. If you want to be insane, I walked THREE cycles once to make sure I wasnt in anyone's way. I decided to play proper. I have a hole! It's a lovely hole... or was... the front side is now missing from creepers... and why are there so few trees? I swear this game wasnt as hard in Beta... *bought waaaaaay back in Alpha*
  20. Sorry but I dont have an "official" RP character or I might...
  21. This was posted in another of my threads and I'm cross-posting it here: My PERSONAL take on this is that all pegasai can create clouds, however it takes so much effort that for large storms and such, it's better to mass-produce them instead of making the individual teams create them. But, seeing as outside of the wonderbolt's we've never seen a Pegasus create a cloud, I'm relegating it to fanon... @ Strife: These are interesting points because (1) Twilight was able to copy rarity's spell, which makes me wonder if all unicorns can perform magic if they learn how (or alternately if mage unicorns can copy any other unicorn's magic if they choose) and (2) We dont know that Spike can ONLY transport scrolls. Logically speaking, scrolls are simply paper, and so if paper is transported, Twilight's book (in Owls Well that Ends Well) should have been transported too. I'm thinking there is some kind of spell that spike uses (possibly as simple as wishing to transport the scroll) that sends them. However, if this were the case, then all the scrolls in "Griffen the brushoff" that he burned when he got the hiccups should have just been incinerated... Alternately, the scrolls all bear a seal on them that could be enchanted to transport whatever it's attached to directly to celestia when it's burned. Which then begs the question of what happens if the seal is attached to something else...
  22. Wow, I'm not a fan of Plasmas (VERY bad for getting burn-in, and I tend to leave my TV/Monitors paused a lot) but major props on fixing it! And yes, if you *know* whats wrong and can fix it on the cheep, you can make a huge profit off ebay buying broken ones for ~$100-$200, repairing them, and then reselling then @ $400 or so.
  23. I dont think it's "all my friends must like MLP" but more "I cant hide that I like it" and "It's an awesome show, I'll share it to spread the awesome around" Some bronies are simply not as good as hiding it as others (for instance, anyone that looks at any of my devices will see an MLP wallpaper) Also, if people know you like it, they might admit they like it too, and then you'll have somone else to discuss it with. It's no different to saying you like WoW/Skyrim/Zelda, or Fantasy books, or Anime, or Pizza. It's just that you are sharing your interests in hopes they overlap with the interests of your friends.
  24. My best-friend is fanatical about this game, so I'll probably give it a go when it comes out, but I'm not a huge SW nerd (honestly more into StarTrek and was severely dissapointed at the ST MMO...) Depends on costs as to when I get on though, I'm kinda low on $$$ and planning some pony purchases when I do get some disposable income... *is hopeing desperately for a good Sci-Fi MMO*
  25. I'm currently serverless, as my last server decided to go private with Facebook and to this day I refuse to use facebook... (but daaaaaaang was it awesome, if non-pony, anypony interested I'll see if I can dig up the map, these guys were history majors and built things like castle TO SCALE and (as much as possible) HISTORICALLY ACCURATE!) I think I'll hop on and atleast look around, I have a bit of a policy of not joining servers that dont use Runecraft because I've become overly-reliant on it's magics, but I wanna see what the server's like! (Any chance you have or will build a Cloudsdale?) Forum name: Ashton Username: AshtonDurkhun (might be Ashton_Durkhun, I've not been on since beta so I forgot...) Keep an eye open for a tiger blundering about lol dont have an OC Pony skin yet, so...
