  1. Really nice concept now! I like it! Approved.

    If he likes all these clock works and gadgets he might be the type to even attempt to have gone to Rockwington and gotten some precious trinkets there! Neat iron making things and such that he now keeps in his home? Just as little prizes of his travels. :D Not needed at all, just thought it would be cool to mention he would have claw-crafted things by griffins of the west!

  2. >Cloud-Dancer was impressed upon from a young age that the most important thing in life was to be the best at whatever it is she did.

    Very good, I like this. Helping strengthen our map areas. :D

    Character is pretty good, I approve.

  3. Complextalent if you would like to complete for the position be sure to post your application here in the Open Apps here. C: We will read and pick which one we think will fit better to the world of Equestria, if the characters are just still to similar in concept/back ground stories will will most likely pick who posted first. Don't lose hope!

  4. Maybe not exactly a zoo, I mean I could see it further away from ponyville possibly like in Fillydelphia. Big city, big sights.

    But maybe a "sanctuary" idea since it's about rehabilitation for animals? That way they come and go, lots of new and difference animals to work with. c: But not exactly caging them into a zoo-setting.

  5. Welcome to the boards, FlankSteak. We're still renovating a bit but we're hoping to open the RP up to applications again very very soon. In the mean time you can say hey and work up a 5+ post count, which will open the rest of the forums to you. :)

  6. Also, having ponies pull the train creates more jobs.

    I'll be honest. My first reaction was to reply with some snark about how Equestria isn't exactly driven by the American economy. But as I reached for a chip I realized, wait. Maybe the reason why ponies seem so well-adjusted and connected is because they believe in working for "the better good".

    I'm not talking socialism; I just mean, maybe their society is less focussed on economy. It's pretty common in cartoons, after all. So everyone's presented with the ideal that "everypony can help", be it making baked goods or growing apples or dressmaking, or...

  7. Well, another weird thing about the train was in the passenger trailers. They were able to "turn down" the lighting, and also to pull out candles. I can't imagine trains would have a "third rail" or it would risk electrocuting the ponies pulling the train in the first place, so I imagine the engine is used to provide some sort of electricity for all the amenities a passenger liner would have. (IE: light, food, bathrooms.)

  8. I actually lived in Orlando around the turn of the Century and dated someone who was pretty friendly with Herbie, Yappy, Simba, etc. Strangely although I went to Yappy's house once for dinner, I never went to "the studio", which was in his garage at the time, if I recall.

    I fell out of touch with that whole bunch years ago though and I was never "the friend" (but rather 'a friend of a friend') so I doubt anyone would remember me. :D

  9. Really? Oh...! Well. idk it was just... normally I associate buffalos with being just kind of big and dumb. If Native Americans were consulted though and thought it was okay, I will admit I may have totally taken something out of the episode that wasn't there, haha.

    Bison (aka buffalo) were often important totem animals for several Native American groups, and the rare albino/white buffalo were believed to be sacred. This was especially true for the Comanche. What you perceive as "big and dumb", the Natives considered "powerful and calm".
