Yeah, Frost, that could work. Just as long as the character shines, and not their occupation

Get a radon and carbon monoxide detectors if you do not have them, immediately.

Mishka (8 years old) / Roxie (9 years old) Chicken cat and nosy-butt concernicus (note that Roxie has dust all over her face. Default mode. NOSY! She falls off windowsills scrambling to see who's coming down the street. Also, she is ALARMINGLY close to the camera in this photo. NOSY!)

If it was your trial, would you want you as a juror? Nope. Every single time I am called to jury duty it is for a drunk-and-disorderly case. I can NOT be a member of a jury in that circumstance.

While this is a good idea, this is not currently scalable to the World of Equestria forum with the bandwidth we currently have, especially as we are still working on releasing lore that we have already seen in Season 3 of the show. The introduction of each new species brings to the table a new set of lore and traditions that has to be created, catalogued and made ready for the users to rely on. Then the entirety of the RP Helper team needs to be able to remember each of the different rules and quirks of each race and apply them to the vetting of applications. For this reason, we will be sticking to species and varieties and strains thereof that we see on the show, within reason (of course, we will generally not allow a species if it is deemed over-powered). Cynogriffins and the like are actually races that are a holdover from the very early rules of this forum when there were far fewer users and scalability wasn't as much of an issue (an exception, not the rule). And remember, the forum that official lore is generally applied to is World of Equestria. Equine-focused, and slice-of-life. You are always welcome to apply for and play any variety of any mythological creature in the other two subforums.

ALL THE DAVID BOWIE REFERENCES. I counted 6 obvious panels worth, and a few that could be interpreted as such. Basically, any time you see something written on a cave wall that's not onomatopoeia or directions it's lyrics from either Diamond Dogs or Golden Years. Edit: oops, they messed up. lyrics from Cat People in there too. So 7 panels.

Welcome aboard

If some people on the forum could practice self-censorship, we would not need filters to enforce it.

Hiya Morning Dawn! How is you application going? Do you need me to set aside time for some additional help, or did you just get wrapped up in holiday fun?

Man, this Steel guy seems like trouble. SUPER trouble. I think we should banish him.

BWHAHAHAHAH. definitely been there.

WIIIIILLLLLLOOOOOOWWWIIIISSSPPPPP! are you back f'reals? Are you staying back??? *olden pre-canterlot days hoofbump.*

Sure would! None of those cafes and snack stands are up and running yet!

OH HECK YES. We like comics a LOT in my house. This is one portion of an entire 4 and a half foot wide, chest high bookshelf filled with nothing but graphic novels and comics. And that is not the only place they're at. Well, besides MLP (which does have a bit of a different and very effective sense of humor), I subscribe to a variety of X-men comics (I follow characters, not books, really I am following Kitty Pryde and Beast, sometimes Polaris when she's not being portrayed as totally insane, and Patsy Walker), and I have read X-men since the late 80s. My core love of Marvel characters, though, comes from about 1972-about 1985. But only Marvel. I enjoy the soap-opera aspect of it, and my favorite comics are where noting happens. Hand me an issue of the Avengers circa 1978 where all they are doing is choosing the team, or one from a little later where it's nothing but Wonderman and Beast Bromance time, and I am amused. I STILL hold it against Rob Liefeld for ruining X-Force (although felt truly vindicated when Peter Milligan and Mike Allred ran it into the ground in an epic and hilarious way). I childishly snark on Liefeld on twitter for this reason. I am way too old to be picking on a middle aged man. I also have a deep fondness for vintage strips like li'l Abner and Pogo. Some more (relatively) recent stuff REALLY early Doonesbury before the Reagan administration and Tove Jansson's Moomin comics. Also fashion comics from the 60s: [colour=#1A1AA6][/colour] My true loves, though, are the independent and alternative publishers like Drawn and Quarterly, Fantagraphics Top Shelf and Archaia, writers and artists, like Dan Clowes, Kevin Huizenga, Paul Hornschemeier and Chris Ware, Marc Bell, Anders Neilsen, Seth, the Paper Rad collective, etc. etc etc. and we have a lot of straight up Brian Chippendale and David Shrigley floating around our place because of my husband. And for Webcomics, Dieselsweeties is the only one I follow closely, but I also love Kimono's Townhouse. But by far, these two are my favorites: Jason: Jeffrey Brown (to the point that I have prints and super special editions of things)

Hiya everyone! The devastation of Hurricane Sandy left a huge impact on me. I grew up on the Jersey shore, and pretty much anything you know as being a unique quirk of the ol' Scotchie came from my time living in Keansburg (as a matter of fact if there were no trees in the way you could see my childhood home one block beyond the water tower in this photo.) During the holiday season I was supposed to help with cleanup efforts, but due to a communication breakdown with my brother I was unable, and couldn't bring myself to even GO to the town because there was nothing I could do to help besides donate (and, well, cry). But it reminded me that I have characters I have never RPed, and having a fitting RP while I am still emotionally healing from the damage to one of the places I have the most sentimental nostalgic attachment to might help until I can get back down there and shovel some sand myself. One of my characters, Saffron, Inherited a small boardwalk amusement park in Hoofington (now keep in mind this lore is not fully approved forum lore, but since the boardwalk is small, maybe 2 acres including the strip of bathing beach, and my character's place of residence and business, this portion still stands). The first store to open was Calliope's. Things to know: Everything is in disrepair except the carousel house, and the attached building that used to house a primitive, giant steam powered calliope that now houses Calliope's boutique since When I say "arcade" I mean a building with a large open hallway supported by arches and shops and games crammed into either side of it, not a place full of video games. All rides are powered by horsepower. There is a little ferris wheel, the carousel, pedal powered bumper cars, and a giant slide.. Even the carousel is horse powered! The carousel is a little different than an ordinary one though, ponies dress up and stand on little platforms that move up and down, instead of riding on horses. They ARE the horses, with the exception of four stationary ones that are evenly spaced apart that are seats for very young foals. You can be: a volunteer who is just helping fix the rides, stalls and other buildings. Just lemme know who you are in this thread. You don't have to be a character who is helping out because they have a business on the other side of "The Loop" or otherwise locally. Ditto for just letting me know who you are. A character who wants to own a business in the boardwalk proper and wants to help out. If you want to do this, please let me know and I can work with you after you submit your app since essentially Saffron would be your boss by default. There are various game stands, hokey fortune tellers and other amusements that can be filled here. I would LOVE for someone to build a spooky "in the dark" ride or "haunted house" type attraction! You are welcome to also make a business of this type nearby, off the boardwalk grounds themselves but I would play Saffron, in character, always kind of stand-offish to your character. I am also OK with this because it would be a good character dynamic. Play will be slice of life, of new ponies coming together to help a neighbor rebuild something good for the community. There may be periods of tension, where something collapses, but ideally this is meant to be socializing Please keep in mind that this RP will mean a lot to me, emotionally, so I would really welcome anyone's best RP effort.

That is HILARIOUS! I love it! Thank you, Santa Hooves!

And thus Canterlot's trashy Tabloid Industry was born.

(OOC- Pink = me, cream = Magi) Glory glanced lovingly from her youngest filly, clinging to her legs and bouncing and excited to see her mum and dad, to her eldest, who had a look of terror on her face that Glory could only attribute to the handsome stallion in the room. Never, of course, Rarity's embarrassment of her earthy sire and dam. Finally, she winked bemusedly at Prince Blueblood before addressing Sweetiebelle.[colour=#800080]"You betcha, Sweatpea! Why, all we did on vacation was think about how much we missed our gals! ".[/colour] She floated a small yellow package with a garish green polkadot bow to her daughter. "Here ya go! Now you, Rarity." She beamed as she floated an equally garish pink box over to the horrified unicorn. She fumbled for a moment with the boxes around her hooves. [colour=#800080]"Why I even got somethin' for your new colt-friend over here!"[/colour] Glory smiled as she covertly wrapped a tacky scarf around a giant bottle of Las Pegasus' classic tourist drink, TuttiFruittyGranGalooty and sailed it on over to the stallion. ​ The look on his eldest daughter's face only told him that they may have interrupted a... sensitive moment. [colour=#800000]"Oh, sorry Rare-Bear, didn' mean t'barge in on yer 'alone time'"[/colour] he gave a false knowing smile. But then SweetieBelle! Oh she was far too young to be worrying herself with coltfriends and the like. Nope! But she sure was happy to see them! That outfit did look nice! And she helped customers? And she met a Prince? [colour=#800000]"Wow-Wee, Kiddo! Sounds like you've been workin' hard while we were gone, eh?"[/colour] He gave a playful nudge to his darling wife, smiling proudly. [colour=#800000]"I'll bet you she'll have 'er cutie mark in no time!"[/colour] ​ [colour=#800080]"She sure will, oh macho mustachioed stallion o' mine, she sure will."[/colour] Glory ruffled her baby's curly mane. [colour=#800080]"and then when she is old enough to be worryin' about dashin' coltfriends like Rarity's new squeeze over there....[/colour] " she trailed off and winked at Prince Blueblood again. [colour=#800080]"But, hey, we haven't even been introduced properly. I'm Rarity's momma, Glory, an' this handsome bugger's my one and only Magnum, Rar an' Sweetiebelle's pop, and we sure are glad to meetcha!"[/colour] ​ Seemed quite enthusiastic about meeting, who he believed could be, Rarity's own special somepony! This sure was a step up from that boulder she fell in love with not long ago. Come to think of it... The rock he saw sitting outside looked verrry familiar... [colour=#800000]"Pleasure to make yer acquaintance! Like my lil' rosebud told ya, I'm Magnum! Now, when can we expect us some grandfoals, eh?" [/colour] ​

In my heart, Quicklime. IN MY HEART. Also: http://www.canterlot...ure-hunters-go/ Which will have gone through EVERY SCOOTALOO SINCE CANTERLOT.COM FORMED. (and two Apple Blooms).

Someone is a little pastries-focused. And by that I mean Rosewind and not Brownie. We definitely need more bakers though. Can I recommend Hoofington for her place of residence?
