Nermal.

Why would she pack photos when clearly she is a whiz with fondant?

Pinkie seems the type to put pancakes, syrup and all, in a box. So I am going to run with that because it makes me giggle. Just a big fat stack of pancakes.

Also, the OP reminds me of that part of Poltergeist where they are burying the canary, and now that's stuck in my head, in Pinkie's voice.

She already is.

Push that Codexia Equestria, River!

We announce all changes to canon (character and species-wise) on that thread, so do follow it

((OOC, Magi and I are trying a little experiment since Glory and Magnum are one of those couples that don't shut up, Pink is me, Cream is him. Comic sans is on purpose. They're the type that think it's cute.))

Case and point: my left for dead rp

Exactly why I popped in here. I saw that post of yours, saw this post, decided to make a comment.

Lovely work! I can't wait to see what you come up with! This character is VERY flexible in terms of what you can do with her mane and tail, so feel free to experiment with something wild. It looks like you enjoy drawing hair

Username: Flutterscotch

Pony Name: Calliope

Pony Reference: She is simple. Her hair is also ever changing and negotiable http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6210/6107955479_4ebc7d60d0_o.jpg.

Clothing Reference: Whatever pretty saddle you come up with is fine. She designs and collects saddles. She also doesn't necessarily need one. Just if you feel like it

Kirby, m'dear just make sure it's kept tame for the sake of all-ages. A few other "RPs based on video games" got bumped to the 18+ FFA section recently. Not trying to be a bummer, but rules is rules.

I wonder if you can still sign up for the subscription.

All you have to do it go to your local comic book store. They usually let you add/drop titles whenever.

Prediction: Rainbow Dash, forever in the minors.

Hello and Welcome

Are you a R.O.U.S.?

Alright, Sorry for the late reply, I will make sure to update it accordingly, I've just been a tad busy and will get to it post haste!

i understand. I am a "dragging my feet on an application unless I am immediately inspired" person myself

Ugh, but my course is due that day. Can we all agree that that can be kind of traumatic at least for me?

:!: Yes sir, Flutterscotch! I'll get working...

Thank you kindly for understanding, Madame!

ive been kicked out three times now. lol.

7 pounds 1 ounce 12:40 pm.

All I can think of is you as Apple Bloom sitting in the waiting room. Bouncing.

I went back to the past to reply! WHOOHOO!

Good luck, Tech Brush!

Our Friendly Neighborhood SteelEagle is going to be busy for a few days, so I am going to jump in here.

[colour=#ff0000]First things first. you are going to need to reword a the entire history in your own words (it pulls just a little too heavily from the Wikipedia entry on Roger Waters, and we condemn plagiarism in any form.) Please do this immediately or we are going to have to lock your application and file it away at 3:27 PM EST tomorrow.[/colour]

There are a few other issues that I I have to point out as well. While having a pony character who is influenced or a parody of a real person or character from somewhere else is OK if it is ponyfied enough in WoE, having what is known as an expy, (exported character, and I am going with exported character because Roger Waters' public persona may be different from his private one as is the case with most rock stars) is not, so you are going to have to make him more his own pony, or he will have to be considered a crossover application. You have to rewrite that that part of his history anyway, so you can tone down the direct correlation while you are at it, maybe change some things up a bit.

I do rather like the character summary you have for him. It gives a really good sense of who he is, and if I did not know this was explicitly supposed to be a pony version of Roger Waters, I would still think it works. He's a talented, but WAY too haughty, jerk on par with Trixie, but has the skills to back it up.

Of course you were originally going to use him in crossovers partially anyway, so if you want to stick to classic Roger totally just getting his ego everywhere but being a pony, you'd be able to run with it better in Crossovers anyway.

Other than that, a few things we're definitely going to need you to change, there's a little British slang term used as an intensifier that you use that is not even a deal(huge or not) here in the US, but is considered quite a bit ruder over there in England. There are other words that mean almost the same thing but with far less offense, but if you are going to use them maybe sure that you know how offensive they might be considered in their country of origin. Not only in your application, but RP as well, unless RP happens to be in 18+. Just don't use it. It would not be used in a kids' show in England.

as much as I love pun place names...

Great Earthham Surrey Gotta go. Not on the map. Unless you're aiming for crossovers.

Other than that, I hope you know that Trotters is also the name of pigs hooves, which is kind of funny given the circumstances, and you need to change a few more "Wrights" for consistency.

at hospital. em's having ze baby. out for rest of the day.

Good luck to you and the wifey!

I am going to be semi-MIA for a bit. End of the year = course releases and holiday (crafting) plans. I'll be popping in, but not nearly as regularly as I have been. The say after the day after Christmas though? 3 DAY PONY ALL THE TIME!

Hello again everypony!

I am dropping by here to talk about one of my favorite subjects "how do I get out of a tricky situation or plot without doing things the RP staff will shake their collective heads sadly at", and offer helpful suggestions.

Now, it is tempting (and natural) to be rational and tackle problems or challenges in RP the most efficient way possible, but sometimes that not only skirts on the edges of being a little too much for the tone of the WoE forum, but solves the problems too easily and might make for a less-rich RP experience. This is Equestria, after all, a land of whimsy and colourful ponies who can break the laws of physics and common sense. So, if you you need to ask someone if something might be considered a little too advanced or overly powerful to be allowed in in the World Of Equestria Slice of Life forum, the best solution is to just change your approach and do something goofy.

A few examples (more to be added)

Getting Characters who can not fly naturally to be up in the clouds.

Say you have a unicorn who is supposed to meet a group of ponies in Cloudsdale. The easiest way to do this would be to cast the spell that Twilight cast during the episode where Dash participated in the Best Young Flier competition. BUT if just anypony could do that, we'd see unicorns up there all the time (Lyra, I am convinced, was purely an animator error). In this case I would recommend something silly, that might nor work here on Earth, but is part of the style of whimsical visual gags we have seen on the show.

You could tie balloons to the character and drag him or her around as you RP, or birds with a mind of their own that keep your character drifting off, and that could become a part of the plot.

After all, one of the greatest visual gags ever is a Rube Goldberg device! So have fun, and remember that the most entertaining way from point A to Point B is definitely not a straight line. When in doubt, a silly means to an end is probably going to be more acceptable and true to the show than a magically powerful or technologically advanced one, especially if you keep it as a one-time event in your RPs.

I was hoping my Roseluck app would get approved before I created a ManeRP topic. I'll give it till saturday, I s'pose

We wait a week before we even begin to assess Cast applications (as in we don't even look at them, we just note when they were submitted) and to give others a chance to apply if they so choose to. Saturday might not be unreasonable as long as the application doesn't need work, depending on everyone's schedule.

I don't even.......It's a good app, but wow, that's a LOT of 4th wall breaking. I see [colour=#ff0000]nothing wrong with it [/colour]especially since it's a crossover app, but heck, you're the SeniorRP helper here, not me.

LOL. You mean besides the MASSIVE plothole that hinges on the Studio being obliviously stupid and coming up with a way more complicated plan to subjugate the unicorns than necessary? It's there intentionally. This is supposed to be a parody of a darker and edgier Equestria. I was reading some George Saunders when this came to me.

i have an idea in mind that will give some people the chance, In the FFA section probably, to play canon cast characters as close to the way they are on the show as possible. And my character will just be the "Arthur Dent" who is caught up in it, but I want the characters themselves to be the heroes.

Marshmalllllooooww FLLLUUUUFFFFF!!!!

I'll have you know I pass the old Fluff factory every morning on my way to work. And have always thought of applying for a Fluffernutter pony in RP.

Welcome to Canterlot! I'll take a lollipop!

Don't feel bad. Almost every RP topic I have made that I did not actively coerce people to join before I started it didn't get any responses.

So, a bit of a spoiler for anyone who didn't see the Magic Duel episode

Will Saddle Arabia become a playable area?

Possibly eventually.

You should follow this thread:

We drop news about RP stuff there, in advance of implementing it even, so that should be your primary news source.

Believe me when I say the RP and Lore teams are aware of things mentioned in RP. We analyse things and how they will affect our RP a lot, often immediately after or DURING the episode, but right now, the Crystal Empire and Crystal Ponies are taking precedence.

And thats exactly why I was writing a guide for it, but it obviously made no sense^^

That is not what you were asked to do at all. You were asked for a simple description.
