  1. Do you consider Robi to be a real Briton?

    I don't really know anything about Robi.

    What I do know, however, is a 'Briton' is what the people (Celts) that inhabited the British Isles before the Roman occupation were called.

    ...I don't think Robi is that old.

    He lives in England, from what I know, which makes him 'English'.

  2. Is it ok to be completely terrified of you for no reason? :aubrey::blush:

    No, not really.

    Think of it this way... in the past some people would be terrified of people because of the colour of their skin. They'd cross the street, if they saw them coming towards them, so they could pass in what they felt was safty.

    How do you think that kind of thing would make someone feel to be viewed on in such a way, particularly for no reason?

    It's perhaps best not to treat them like Gregor Samsa in The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.

  3. Is it true that England is actually a theme park off the coast of mainland Europe?

    England is actually more functional than a place for lulz.

    Think of it as the Conning tower of Europe. Without it the rest of Europe is blind and without purpose.

    They'd be "Fumbling in ignorance" as Sovereign would say.

  4. [colour=#006400]as a vegetarian I have difficulty killing them[/colour]

    ....you don't have to eat them. (carnivores don't fret about stepping on a strawberry) ;)

    Perhaps you have Entomocidephobia and your dietary preference is vegetarian. (Americans, please don't confuse this with Veganism)

  5. Where is the holy grail?

    I think the Holy Grail of Biblical reference is now redundant.

    What I personally feel is that today the 'holy grail' is relative.

    Everyone has their own personal holy grail. That ultimate goal they strive to reach and to live for.

    You should sit down and plan out your life around your own 'grail'.

    What's your holy grail?

    What steps can you take to reach and find it?

    What are you going to do TODAY to help get you in the right direction?

    Good luck on your quest!

  6. You ignored and broke the terms of service by creating a new account rather than simply wait for a response to the email you sent us.

    Unfortunately you'll need to lay in the bed you've made.

    Such a shame... if only you had a little patience. :(

  7. Not entirely a question of implementation difficulty.

    We'll watch and see how many people show interest through their votes.

    If about 5% of the members vote yes (within a reasonable time-frame) it's something we may consider in a more serious manner, otherwise, we'll have to conclude that it's not worth the effort for meagre interest.

    Can't say fairer than that.

  8. The reason for your need to start posting is to show you're wanting to be part of the community.

    The blogs, chat and other services are for the use of the Canterlot.com community, not the general public to walk in off the streets and use.

    Otherwise we'll have people just using us to advertise their failing projects without even bothering to get to know us or the community.

    [colour=#800000]We also need to make sure people understand that not any-old content can go in the blogs.[/colour]

    [colour=#800000]There are Children as well as Adults frequenting this site, so it's best to get to know what we're about before posting something that could end up hurting someone or getting you banned before you've even said 'Hello' to us.[/colour]

  9. Gotten into Google's Augmented Reality game 'Ingress' lately.

    Anyone else playing it?
    Are you in the Resistance or the Enlightened?

    My lame explanation of what it's about:
    Using your phone's GPS you'll find portals all over the place, mostly on landmarks of public statues etc, which show on your map.
    You can 'hack' them to gain items which you can use to attack enemy portals or upgrade and protect your own faction's portals.

    I'm in the Resistance (the Blue team) who, oddly, are in the minority.
    When I got my invite (closed Beta, but other people can invite or can request and invite from the link below) I got through the tutorial and found a bunch of Enlightened controlled portals right by my house!!? OH Heck-no! It's on, now!

    Not a game you can play sitting down at home. When you attack or hack a portal you can be attacked by its defences which means you need to physically move away from it!

  10. Just to quickly note, we can activate the friends list, however, it simply doesn't do anything.

    It would have the same function as you bookmarking your friend's profiles in your browser.

    Because it doesn't have a more functional...function, it's turned off to save server resources.

  11. When the server goes down (either due to something borked or the current attacks succeed) I'm afraid there's only ONE person out of 5k users that has the radical idea to get in touch with me, either by email, my personal or the site's twitter, so I can restore it.

    If that one person that likes to help out by notifying me isn't available... you'll all simply have to wait till I happen to notice (I like to sleep and work now and then so not constantly hitting F5 to see if it's working).

    *hint hint*

    [colour=#a9a9a9]Our twitter account is on the front page of Canterlot.com. Please DM rather than simply 'mention'.[/colour]

  12. Canterlot.com is officially supported and financed by the WPK whom only wish peace on earth with their neighbours.

    We've had to source funding from the WPK ever since the removal of Ba'ath party influence.

    As such, we cannot offer words of support for any other nation's forces, with the exception of Vatican City and its Gendarmerie Corps.

  13. A potential problem that immediately sticks out in my mind is one of the reasons for having applications in the first place.

    By having users applying for RP with thought-out, well written and balanced characters you're showing us and the other RP Certified users that you are competent and aren't likely to be a one-line writer or worse. You become Certified.

    Having trades and collabs could mean it will become MUCH harder for new users to get accepted as the Helpers and Staff will be questioning if they've written it themselves or someone else has for them.

    It could also mean your RP may go downhill when new users, brandishing pre-digested characters written by their friends, enter WoE without being properly coached in the form of a proper Character application that they've put the time in themselves to make.
