Ha ha, shortly after posting this thread, the idea of a role play in free for all occurred involving a extremely wealthy and crazy pony host sending invites to random ponies to play rich ponies' golf with him in manehatten. I'll do an interest check in ooc tomorrow. Check back if your interested.

I may be the bugmaster, but it's not all I do. Although rich people's golf can have as much involvement with bugs as any player wishes. Refer to the second rule. 4 blocks to the north. That's not to say you can't try to change that in any way though. Proceed.

Anything you can hold in your hand.Anymore questions?

You see, rich people's golf is like regular golf, except your playing with a rich person who can and will afford for all the property damage you want, and that there are no rules. Any questions?

I'm liking the name Venus.

While I appreciate the will to not harm them if possible, I can't fathom any practical method of removal in that they end up alive and well. Out of those three however, the cockroach is the only thing that can cause any harm, and almost all of that can be prevented by properly sealing food and using waste cans with lids. Pillbugs are harmless, and centipedes will eat other creatures that actually are harmful to you.

Squishy turned his head back to the owner and paused in thought. He knew what water was, but had never heard of this other drink. He remembered that he still had a lot to learn, and no better way to learn than first forearm experience. "I'll have the cider please" he said enthusiastically.

(OOC: Anyone still here? I hope so. Because I'm not letting this thread die )

Hey, thanks a bundle! Overpowered isn't the first thing that comes to mind when someone says "amputee" does it?

Thank you very much! Unfortunatly, there is no amputee option in the pony creator, but I know a guy who just might be able to make a decent sketch that can get the point across. Thanks again for the feedback!

(OOC: I would be really disapointed if this thread were to die. I've been lookiing forward to roleplaying as a mantis for some time now.) As he heard the doors open, Squishy turned his head 180 degrees to see that two more ponies have entered. 'Oh! This is an easy one' He thought. He turned himself around raised a single forearm, and slowly swayed it side to side. 'Just like a regular pony' He thought.

Roleplay Type: Worlds of Equestria. Name: Dusty. Sex: Male. Age: Young Stallion. Species: Pegasus. Eye Color: Black. Coat Color: Brown. Mane/Tail/ Markings Color & Style:Shaggy mane and straight tail of a darker shade of brown. Physique: Visable strength in his wings and back. Cutie Mark: A single wing Origin/Residence: Manehattan. Occupation: Cashier at Sugar, Sweets, and Treats, candy and confection store. Motivation: Keeping life around him slow and relaxed. Likes: Relaxing, sleeping, joking around Dislikes: Comotion, upward slopes, green foods (not the taste, just the color) Character Summary:Dusty has been a laid back and easy going pegasus ever since he was a young colt. Dusty is a bit slow most of the time, but he is very friendly and casual to other ponies making him very likable. It's because of this is why he is especially good with children. Dusty's life is a humble one, living in his messy one pony apartment with his pet centipede Sasha whom he occasionally keeps in his shaggy hair. The first thing ponies notice about Dusty isn't his friendly personality however. The initial thought that goes through their head is 'Woah, that pony has no legs!' That's right, Dusty is an amputee. He's been that way for as long as he can remember because, well, he was born that way. Even with such a simple back story to his predicament, he almost always refuses to disclose how or why he has no legs when asked by somepony. Insteed of legs, Dusty has a four wheel harness not unlike a skateboard attached to his underside. To move around, in addition to flying, he uses both wings to push himself across the ground. His wings have grown to be very strong and muscular as a result of doing this his entire life. Dusty himself doesn't at all mind his significant and abnormal handicap and has actually grown acustomed to it over time claiming that it gives him, "An original individuality that cannont be stolen" Dusty's cutie mark story however, isn't as simple as his state of mind. It happened during his first big festival. Him and his friends had all been saving up their allowences for the upcoming games and rides. Although Dusty's parrents and friends were a little skeptical about him being able to properly enjoy the festivities due to his condition, he insisted that he go, positive that he would have a blast. As Dusty and his friends browsed the different booths, they decided to try out the clasic ball and bottle game. After a couple of his friends tried with no success, Dusty decided to step up to the challenge. The pony behind the booth couldn't possible fathom as to how he could throw the ball without any hooves and certainly wasn't going to take money from him. Instead he offered Dusty a few free games by mentioning his totally not made up on the spot "if two of your five friends try the game and miss and if you happen to be brown, you get 2 free games" special deal. Deciding that he couldn't pass up such a convenient opportunity, Dusty started thinking how he would go about doing this. As he was scratching his head with his wing, he stoped as he had an idea. He looked at his wing, then at the ball, then back to his wing. He he tried picking up the ball by curling the tip of his wing around it, and was able to firmly hold it in place. He looked back up to the stacked bottles, took aim, and throw the ball dead center, knocking down every single bottle. Everyone was ammazed, from his friends, the booth pony, to Dusty himself. Dusty and his friends were ecstatic and raced off to see what other games he could try that would normally need hooves, completly forgeting the hat he won. They played everything. He hit all the targets with the water gun shooting gallery. He could hit the the bell with the strength tester by weilding the hammer with his wings. He could even suceed in the delicate goldfish scooping game. It wasn't untill they were in the fun house in the wacky mirror section that Dusty noticed the warped cutie mark in his reflection. As his friends gathered around to admire it, he realized that his special tallent must be being able to utilize his wings in ways nopony has ever done before.

Your trying to take over Korea and Canada? You don't know anything about being a dictator! I'm afraid I'm going to have to confiscate that bug army of yours. I can do that, I'm the Bugmaster. Think about what you did wrong while I do a highlight on Roly Polys. Pill Bugs or, Roly Polys, can be found in just about any temperate forest, rain forest, or grassland. Despite being almost always assoiciated with bugs, Roly Polys are actually terrestrial crustacians. A pill bug's head and abdomen are respectivly the frontmost and hind segments, with the thorax being made up of the seven segments in between. The Roly Poly gets it's name from it's defensive behavior of curling up into a tight ball when disturbed. Though they are the only species of crustacean that can live on land entirely with out the need of a body of water, they are still very suspectible to drying out and must often inhabit cool, damp areas to survive. Pill bugs are eaten by many animals bigger than themselves such as birds and insectivorous mammals. At the same time however, they are passed up as prey by many arthropods as they may be deemed too small to bother with. Roly Polys are very effective decomposers for the ecosystem, as they eat decaying plant and animal matter and eventually return it to the soil, enriching it with nutriants that betters near by plant life. Their habbit of being turned down as a meal because of their size combined with their scavanger eating habits make owners of tarantulas, scropions, and other like pets sometimes put them into their terrariums to act as living cage cleaners that can peacefully co-exist with their other inhabitants. There's another one for you Rosewind, I hope you liked it. The next highlight will be for Chocoswirl on Botflys. And don't think that me doing a highlight for you means I'll be giving you your bug army back anytime soon. From the looks of things, you have a long ways to go before I even consider it.

Sure thing. If there is any insect that would make someone squimish, it would be the botfly. Also, I've already beaten you to the idea of an arthropod army like, 5 years ago.

Don't worry Rosewind, no one can blame you for swating off a spider crawling up your leg in the midst of panic. I know your already making a conscience effort to keep as many bugs alive as possible. That's good enough for me.

Glad you liked it guys!

It's been awhile since I did a bug highlight, so I hope you guys enjoy this one. Say hello to the Happy Face Spider. Before I continue, no, this is not photoshopped. No, some dude did not paint a happy face on him. And yes, mother nature thought it would be hilarious to put a smiley face on a spider. The Happy Face Spider, (or HFS, for now on) is exclusively native to the Hawaiian islands of Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Maui and of course Hawaii itself. They only grow up to be 5 mm long, and I'm sure I don't have to tell you how you can identify them. They exhibit fairly standerd spider behavior. They usually spin their webs on the underside of leaves and wait for an unsuspecting insect to become ensnared in it's trap. It will then proceed to wrap the victim in silk and eat it's inards. The most obvious source of interest is the HFS's peculiar pattern displayed on it's abdomen. Just like a snowflake, no two HFS patterns are alike. Some even lack the markings altogether. As to why these spiders were bestowed upon these curious markings is a bit of a mystery. The most probable solution scientest's think is to confuse larger predators, such as birds. The only problem is that a smile isn't something that would usually deter a bird from choosing it as a meal. Bugmaster Stonetribe's personal theory is that the markings aren't meant to prevent birds from harming them, but human beings instead. A young girl probably wouldn't feel any remorse steping on a spider that crawled out from under her dresser. But if she were to come across a colorful spider with a goofy looking happy face on it, she might actually find it amusing and even encourage it to stick around. There you are Swirly, hope you liked it! Next up are Rollypollys.

Don't worry, the line between fear/disgust and hate/spite is a distinguishable one.

Sure thing Rosie, but I think I promised to do one on the happy face spider for starswirl first.

Derp, my WOE App finaly gets approved meaning I can join this roleplay, only for it to die because of lack of interest. This is everyone's fault except for rainboom girl's. On the brightside, when she restarts the thread, I'll be able to particapate from the start. Right?

That is correct.

Oh god, I burst out laughing at that. Too bad they got the name punuctiation on Nien wrong. I think I'll talk to blaze about it.
