weesh

I find it hard to make my own decision. Who pushed the crystal empire into the bid? How much of the possible disappointment is in Dash's head? She was the only one to cry out in anguish at the Cloudsdale ceremony. Perhaps it is she taking it too seriously rather than it actually being a terrible loss? The crystal ponies are basically just along for the ride, and that is where I struggle. They haven't invested anything so why would they be disappointed?

Heh. I've donated $9.13 before, and I can do it again! But I probably won't.

Sweet. I can't wait to see what you did. Also: weeeeeeeeeee for being ahead of schedule!

To clarify: I received a PM this morning, but no notification of it. A note in a thread led me to believe that I should have one so I clicked on the letter icon and there was a new message right at the top. The other PMs I have received lately (including today), save two, have all notified me properly. The only pattern I have noticed is that it is always a brand new PM, rather than a reply. The sender tells me that they did not delete the message Cookies are not blocked, but could be borked It seems that it is not even possible to deselect messenger notification. Is "Autumn" permanent? I kept expecting to see "Artax" return eventually.

Three times in the last two months I have received PMs but the messenger envelope was not highlighted. Clicking on the envelope still showed a brand new message that I had not seen yet, but I had to be told that I had received it in board posts. Anyone else having notification problems? Most of the time the system works fine.

Alliteration fail... But I've sent my line to Diego, and Linkhopper is on deck.

ooooh...a tricky picture...

They don't make movies like they use to. By which I mean, actors aren't generally trampled to death while filming the epic scenes now a days.

This is the strongest issue yet. It is the one that ended my doubt about the series. And artfully done too! It was a good choice to eat the kittens love off camera, and show us the carnage through the expressions of the CMC. I presume because of the "aw, well miss if she breaks into song!" comment? : )

The webcomic "Meatshield" did a series of three comics with ponies starting HERE. Unfortunately, they are not show accurate in name or colour.

I didn't say the magazine was fake. I think the information in the magazine is questionable, so the video proving the magazine exists doesn't do anything for me. Hasbro has submitted two copyright requests with no pictures, that I could find. Do you have a source for the concept products?

It isn't a press release as I understand it. A press release comes from the parent company, and is distributed to MANY outlets for them to cover the material. I read what I could of the article. But only the one page? Is the rest of it available? I'd never heard of that magazine. It doesn't have a wikipedia article, and searching their site doesn't bring up that particular article. What is the reputation of "kidscreen"? Are they a big deal? A self-described total circulation of less than 13,000 issues seems like small potatoes to me. Are they really the best source for Hasbro to release information to regarding new shows? Furthermore, where did thoset Hallway and Trixie pictures come from? It could easily have been drawn by any one of many talented MLP trolls. Heck, it could have been poached by a non-tallented troll from any of the image depositories as far as I know. Even ED calls them speculation, since they were unable to track down the sources. Note that while the article references "Arnesen" (presumable Finn Arnesen, Hasbro's executive VP of international distribution and development), and has much information from him regarding Hasbro properties, the line regarding the spin off isn't a quote from him, nor is it attributed to him...it is just near a quote from him calling MLP a "top priority". I'm not saying it is absolutely fake, but it seems fishy to me. Patience is probably warranted. Tabloids are official magazines too.

The mane 6 are all young independent working ladies, none of which go to school. It doesn't make sense to put them in high school or earlier. Also: I don't put much stock in this rumor at the current time.

Perhaps, but I am not oblivious to what is going on this season. Nor am I inexperienced with long rants on other subjects. My sister is a low-key brony that I introduced to the show, and ran across another guy wearing a pony shirt and stopped him to chat. He apparently did nothing but complain about the direction of the show. Why wasn't he excited to be stoped by another brony? I don't get it. Lets set an example of positivity, and keep complaining tones out of our analysis of an episode, even when the analysis is harsh.

Oh. People complaining about the quality of a show that is clearly catering to another demographic is the problem then? I am somewhat annoyed by the complaining myself, but for a different reason. Complaining in general is annoying. Can't was just express our disappointment in a show without whining? I this it is fair to be disappointed (if you consider season 3 poor), since the show has delighted us for a year or more depending on when we discovered it.

LOL, I too have been chastised for posting things in the forum that were not spam. You'd think that anything could go here, but apparently serious discussion isn't welcome! The show was made to be enjoyed by little girls specifically but to also be of very high quality so that others could enjoy it as well. I have no illusions that this was designed for 28 year old guys, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy a great show. Furthermore, we ARE an acknowledged part of the audience as seen in the repeated official use of Derpy in and out of show. There is something to your post though. Everything must be in moderation, and it is not hard to go overboard on this material.

Ah, thanks for the update. And for your generosity with your creation.

If I have one bone to pick with the series, it is that some of the expressions on the pony's faces have poor aesthetics. Specifically "fear" and "shock" but many others as well. There are too many lines drawn, and characters that should be cute even when they are terrified are not as such. Some of the expressions, like "exasperation" and "annoyance" are very close to the line, but still ok.

When someone turns in a line or picture, update with a full post, either from the person who completed a task, or the game master please. How long ago did CPR dude complete his picture? Is Tales still on time?

I was surprised that you didn't know the difference between those first two...but I had to google both of those other guys.

Isn't that the truth? There is always something for everybody.

I think you are missing the key here. Movies that, for whatever reason, are entertaining or worthwhile for the first viewing, but would not be so for the second.
