    I...I think s/he reads my posts.... Shortly after posting on the military Brony thread s/he tried to set me up on a military dating site. It's nice to have a follower!

    Fan Pandering

    Lerian replied to kunio18's topic in Pony Chatter

    fans want more content from them, but then they want to complain about there being fan pandering... Remember when we all loved Derpy being in The Last Roundup? How much we loved the crew? Now we're bad-mouthing them? "I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of bronies, sir . The what? The duality of bronies. The Jungian thing, sir."* I personally like the shout-outs, although I prefer the cultural references to the brony ones. I do wonder those that complain about 'pandering' risk driving themselves away from the show or at least diminishing their enjoyment. Trixie is back! A: A good episode where a former rival is redeemed? B: Blatant Trixie fan pandering? GRAAAAGH! Luna is able to influence dreams and prevent nightmares! A: A display of (royal) pony culture that reinforces the fact that the princesses take a serious part in the running of their kingdom (with worrying questions about the 'millennia of nightmares' that occurred while Luna was on the moon)? B: Blatant Luna fan pandering? GRAAAAAGH! Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo share a touching moment! A: That's just adorable! It really shows how their relationship is progressing in an episode that addresses issues of how others see you? B: Blatant Scoota-love pandering? GRAAAAAAGH! I'm not saying that shout-outs, blatant and not, don't exist but take a moment to consider that thing that you are sure you have seen in a pic/fan-fic/headcanon.... There are only seven plots ** Blatant human pandering GRAAAAAAAAAGH! *With relevant apologies. ** TVtropes link. Fairly warned be ye.

    WHY IS MY SHIP ALWAYS ON FIRE? Seriously though, funny game and I regularly have a quick blat on it when I haven't got time, (or mindset), to 'get-into' an in-depth game.

    I'm loving Ditzy/Derpy's snow ball cube and Peewee sinking through the wall.

    I will have to get a house near Yonder Hill just for the opportunities when giving directions. I live just over/past/beyond/by Yonder Hill.

    Mass Effect, so very much especially from the 'rising' part (approx 1:10)

    Checkout the Canterlot server http://www.canterlot...necraft-server/ EDIT:- should say not run by Canterlot staff/admins but a Canterlot user and a lot of users are listed here (although often quiet )

    As one who has contributed to a (0:50) dent, maybe she was marched away for some child friendly military punishment?

    Welp, new magic game started spiffingly and my bunch of teenaged gangers are hiding their hermetic and their mouse shaman behind a wall of metahuman rights demands and belligerence while the great crash of '29 has just restructured the net (Matrix) and opened up a whole slew of new tech for them to get into. Yup, those guys born on or around 211212, (2011 is canon but we've changed the year), are gearing up to a nice campaign after a long session last night. Also didn't die horribly, awaken or get teleported to Equestria IRL* so... *(yet)

    Weesh you reminded me of a visual equivalent I had a while back. When you are looking for October to complete a halloween wordsearch and it dawns on you that you're not finding it because you've been looking for Octavia...

    spoilered for same reasons

    Not sure I'd, (as a tabletop gamer and GM), give that power to them as there is already the Alicorn amulet for a power/level focus... Hmmmm, (head canon and item wall of text alert):

    Celestia and Luna have the 'royal regalia' of crown, necklace and horseshoes/hoofcups in their relevant material. S3E1-2 we have a corrupted(?) king with a red, silver and black crown and normal metal armour. S3E5 we have corrupted Trixie with red, silver and black necklace. Is there one more piece* to the 'regalia of corruption'? *(or four more pieces to be picky) Aside:

    A really sweet episode with a nice lesson What is that checker doing on a white square Sweetie Belle? With those views so close, I want to live in Ponyville more! 'Just play it cool' Yup, been there! Really liking the designs on the tents and RD's sleeping bag. DAT LYRA SIT! Luuuuuuuna! Art of dreaming is canon? Don't lose yourself Luna! Perhaps her dream self is easier for her to control so she is quieter and finds interaction more pleasant? Ooh, extra fear for Scootaloo? The 'olden pony' and 'headless horse' in her dreams looked like earth ponies. 'If only I could fly I would be safe...' Bioluminescent flowers! 'It's all we need. Why don't you go sit with Rainbow Dash for a while?' Oh AJ, you so understanding... 'MUAHAHAHAHAHA!' Some really nice family/sisterly moments/touches from Rarity and AJ. 'Wiicked whinny of the headless horse' RD carrying Scootaloo! Hnnnnnnnnnnnnnng.

    Depending on how organisation works out I will be either attending an 'End of the World Party' or if enough of us want to nerd out and not attend parties, starting a 'new magic' game of Shadowrun set just after the Awakening (i.e. shortly after 21 Dec 2012), In short I don't think the world will end but it is as good a date as any to get something done!

    I know that's the official explanation but it was more a comment (and a bit of silliness) on Unicorn/character levelling. As 'The highest level unicorn' she had levels to burn so dropped a couple in rogue for the skills and Evasion. Apparently she put her points into Spot, search and gather information rather than any of the stealth skills though! (Also picked up sneak attack. Be careful Twilight!) EDIT: Complete aside from the above but when Snips and Snails got 'horn-locked' there were two similarly coloured blue BG ponies, a mare earthpony with a lantern (?) cutie mark and a unicorn stallion with a lightbulb! Utilities pony or inventor? Strangers that were having a discussion about lighting? (Or 'shipping goggles on'? ) Brother and sister that took different paths into providing light sources? (Simply because of similar colours...) EDIT II: Ignore the bit about the 'lantern pony' It was (changeling) Colgate, minus horn. (Curse my shoddy resolution). Still, LIGHTBULB UNCORN!

    'That's only for the highest level unicorns' & 'Trixie is the highest level unicorn'. Note they don't say highest level of unicorn... Well, that just screams RPG (and specifically D&D) to me, it also reinforces my first thought when I saw the intro. Pony thief! (Or rogue if you prefer). Trixie took a level in thief! (Which would also explain the sack o' money she used) EDIT: Also absolutely loved the episode, yaaaaaay Trixie! Also also, it re-visits the unicorn magic colour and whether it is visible. Nopony seemed to notice or comment that Trixies magic had changed from light purple to red Speaking of colour... was Flutterdash wearing contact lenses or was there a little illusory magic at play? (My first thought was illusions rather than the reveal of disguises.)

    I'd like an explanation of where magical energy comes from in this world. Is it just going to continue as 'just is'? An amplification of will that 'corns can do? A Dark Sun thing where it comes from the life-force of the planet and the ponies do it in a balanced way? (With the option of a 'defiler' baddie?) The Shadowrun thing where the energy is bought in from a parallel universe (that is also linked to life-force)? Off hand I can't think of any other 'verse that has tried to explain it so maybe MLP would come up with a completely original idea given that they would be bound with keeping it child friendly.

    Must acquire Derpy plushie! (Derplushie?)

    Fluttershy here!

    Ah, many thanks. That would explain why I felt I have heard it in numerous places (because I probably have!)
