  1. As Fluttershy trotted toward Sweet Apple acres, she hummed to herself quietly. It was a really pretty day out, so she took her time approaching her friend's farm. It would be nice to see Applejack; Fluttershy had been helping a very sick little beaver, and had not had a chance to get out to see her friends for a few days. Now that little miss Slappy was feeling better, Fluttershy had some time to herself again. A trip to see Applejack served a double purpose; Fluttershy would be able to visit her friend, but she also needed a couple of bushels of apples. Her own supplies were a bit thin at the moment.

    Her hooves trod the familiar path easily, not really needing to to told where to go. So when Fluttershy reached the gate to the farm and looked up, she was in for a shock. My goodness! What were all these ponies doing here??

    There was a line of ponies all waiting at the farm. Several she recognized as being from around Ponyville, but two stood out over the crowd. Princess Celestia and Princess Cadance where here? What in Equestria was going on? At the head of the line, Fluttershy could see the whole Apple family set up at some kind of booth. She couldn't quite make out the signs from here, with all the ponies milling about. Was this some kind of sale? Fluttershy knew that the Apples had had a bumper crop this year. Applejack must have set up a special sale for her apples! That explained the line, but the fact that the Princesses were here was still a surprise.

    Well, Fluttershy was disappointed that she probably wouldn't get to talk to Applejack much, but she did still need some apples. She slipped quietly to the end of the line. She would have spoken to Celestia and Cadance, but the Princesses seemed busy, and she didn't want to disturb them. Cadance was speaking to a striking white stallion that Fluttershy thought she recognized, but she couldn't quite remember a name...

    At that moment, a sudden shout from Princess Cadance caught the attention of every pony around.

    “YOU MEAN TWILIGHT IS PREGNANT???”

    Fluttershy's eyes went wide in shock. Twilight Sparkle, pregnant?? That was ridiculous! Wasn't it? I mean, that couldn't be true! Twilight would have told them... wouldn't she? As far as Fluttershy knew, Twilight hadn't even been dating anypony. Unless she'd been keeping it a secret... but why would she have kept it secret from her friends? Fluttershy's mind spun in circles. She watched as that startling announcement went through the crowd. Then her eyes focused on the white unicorn stallion again. He had a smug little grin on his face. That's when Fluttershy made the connection: Prince Blueblood. She'd heard all about Rarity's disastrous evening with this stallion. She wondered if he had something to do with this...

    But it was the shocked expression on Cadance's face that made Fluttershy act. She approached the alicorn and put a hoof on her shoulder. "Um, Princess Cadance?" she said, still feeling a little unsure. "If Twilight was pregnant, I'm sure she would have told us... I mean, I think she would have told us. She wouldn't keep something like this to herself... would she?"

  2. You guys have no idea... NO IDEA how much shipping talk goes on in the RP Helper Skype chats. There have been epic wars between the forces of RariDash and RariJack, with no side gaining an advantage. Then there's SteelEagle who will ship anyone with anyone... Can't the ponies just be friends? Why do they all have to be in relationships???

  3. Canterlot already keeps a copy of partially written posts. I've used it many times to recover RP posts I've typed when I clicked a link by accident or something. When you type into the text box, you'll see a little dialog at the bottom that says "Last auto saved:" and a time. You can often use that link to recover lost posts.

  4. Quickie question: If your original character already has an approved WoE application, like Lovinity Hearts, do they still have to file a CC application (basically just a copy of the WoE application) in order to role play? I wanted to double check even though you have mentioned original WoE approved characters were allowed.

    Those characters that have already been accepted in WoE are allowed to be played in CC. If you plan on making changes to the character, however, its advisable to re-app the character in CC with the changes you wish to make. FFA character apps are not accepted for CC.

    • Season 3 succeeded in neutering Discord...

    So much Yes to this. Discord didn't need to be reformed, he was great the way he was!

    • Background ponies have undeserved amounts of attention

    Have to agree with this too. Some BG ponies have a good design, but the fans tend to over-hype them.

    • Spike episodes generally suck

    Yep. Spike at your Service was the worst, IMO.

  5. Ice, are you connecting from a school internet connection? Work? If so, the firewall is likely blocking you from the port to connect to IRC, like Autumn said before. I work in a high school, and am unable to connect to the IRC server through the Mibbit client on Canterlot, because the port is blocked. I know Autumn set up one port to allow people to bypass that block, but I can't access my IRC client at work to check the settings.

  6. Yep, what BBB said. "RP Certified" means that you have submitted an application for the World of Equestria RP section and have been approved to post there and in the WoE OOT section. If you are not in that group, you can read those sections, but can not post. Canterlot has members who only RP in the Free-for-All section, or don't RP at all. We welcome all types of fans. :)

  7. Hi Cinnabonbons! This is a question that comes up pretty often here. To really answer it, though, I need to know which RP section you want to play in. In the Free-for-All (FFA) section, the tech can be as advanced as you want it to be. (Or as high as the players in a particular RP want it to be.) We don't put any restrictions on technology or magic there, and you don't need an application to RP there.

    However, in our World of Equestria (WoE) RP setting, we keep a pretty low technology level. That means no computers, no space travel of any kind (unless you count Luna's time in the moon...) We do this to keep the the technology from being a focus; we want the characters and the relationships between the characters to be the focus. For the same reason, we limit magical artifacts and super-powerful spells. This also means that some of the technology that we have seen in the show wouldn't be allowed in WoE. Things like hydroelectric dams, arcade games, and Twilight's 'computer' wouldn't be allowed.

    Now, in the near future, there will be a third RP section that will be more restrictive than FFA, but not as strict as WoE. More advanced tech and magic will be allowed there, but you'll need an application accepted to RP there.

    I hope that answers your question :)

  8. What'd Derpy do to you, Corsy?! You forgot to mention the muffins are a fan thing, too! :razz:

    Well, now the animators have adopted the muffin thing, looking at Derpy's appearance in the credits of Equestria Girls. And I never said I disliked Derpy, I just don't understand why she's such a big deal in the fandom.

  9. I really don't care about Derpy. I mean, its fun to spot her in the episodes, kind of like the old 'Where's Waldo' books, but that's it. When I see people list her as one of their favorite characters, I just think 'How can that be? She doesn't HAVE a character!' All we know about her is she is accident prone... that's it. The thing about being a mail pony is something that was completely made up by the fans, and has never been in the show.

  10. When Canterlot was founded, there was an official IRC chat channel, and an official RP channel. While we did have members log into the IRC for live roleplaying, the official canon room was rarely used. Most of the chat RPers preferred to set up their own rooms where they could set their own rules. Now, Canterlot has its own hosted chat, and no official connection to an IRC server.

    I know that some people like chat RP better than forum RP, but Canterlot isn't set up to support and monitor an official chat RP. If you wanted to set up your own chat rps, and privately invite members, that would be fine, but anything that happened in those chats would be up to you to police and monitor.

  11. Er...so Luna just abducted a bunch of orphans..?

    That's kind of the same way I felt, Lime. The animation was great, but what was the message in this supposed to be? That somehow Pre-NMM Luna was better than Celestia because she kidnapped a bunch of orphaned foals and made them live in a cave?

    Oh, and did I mention Airplane?

  13. Ok, in the upper right corner in Chrome, you should see a wrench or spanner icon, or an icon with 3 parallel lines. Click there, then click settings. Scroll down to find 'Show Advanced Settings" and click there. Under Privacy, click the button that says 'Clear Browsing Data.' Click the drop-down in the pop-up and set it to 'the beginning of time' then click 'Clear browsing data.' Restart Chrome after tat to make sure, then Chrome should update with the right picture.

  14. So apparently we're getting some Goth Pinkie Pie toys at Target now:

    Poor Rarity... snubbed in favour of Pinkie. How does Pinkie Pie get a boutique named after her anyway??

    Well, at least all the recent stuff doesn't fail like that. Just picked up this set last week at Toys R Us.
