I'd like to see some exploration of Equestria beyond Ponyville.

I personally don't care if she is or she isn't, but it does bug me when people insist that she must be straight or must be lesbian. Can't she just be Dash?

QFT.

Trixie is an enjoyably large ham, but beyond that, I just find her annoying.

Will do.

Speaking from personal experience, I've never really been messed up by switching formats A couple people use first, others use third, and it's never really been awkward.

That said, I don't want to purposefully make thing awkward for people, cause I'm not a jerk. What say to the whole trial thing?

I've only seen the first two.

So do I. I have a NES hooked up to a TV in my room. I still play some of the classics-Super Mario bros, Tetris, Megaman 2. Megaman 2 is my favorite by far.

Megaman 2 is by far and away the best Megaman game. Metal Blade rawks.

Suddenly my life feels so boring. I wanna get electrocuted!

It's not difficult. Plug in a toaster, grab a knife, and go to town.

DISCLAIMER: Don't do this.

Turning things away from danger and deadliness and back towards "interesting", quite a few years ago I was on a game show (one of those school affairs where you win stuff for your school). The host was...an angry man when the cameras were off.

My team won though, so yay for us.

I still bust out my NES every now and then. Hell, just today I was playing some Faxanadu.

It's a possible solution, but I don't want to force people into doing things in a way they're not comfortable with.

Iunno.

So, no more arguing, just one more thing. Are first-person posts disallowed or just frowned upon? With permission, I'd like to give it a "trial run" if possible. If you still say no afterwards, I'll happily go back to third-person. Your call, I'll go with whatever you say.

Exactly.

Yup.

Specifically, butterfly knives.

I C WHAT U DID THAR

I know it's not all about me, and I never intend it to be. But I have participated in many rps that mix first and third person and honestly, it's never felt like anyone's hijacking anything - it's just a sign of someone's personal preference when writing. It also seems that your analogy of reading a book is a bit flawed - heard of the "omniscient third person" point of view? Regardless of whether "I" or "he" is used, the book does follow one single, main character. If anything, that just supports my point that POV doesn't change who the main character is, it's just a style. And I have good reasons for following my style.

I should say at this point, please don't take my arguing as a sign of disrespect. It's not my intent to overhaul anything or make everyone do things my way - you're the boss, and I fully respect that. This is just the sort of thing I particularly enjoy talking about.

I can do third person, I just prefer to do first person. I tend to do first person when roleplaying and third person when just writing a story, for a couple reasons. First person helps me get into the character, and stay there. In addition, I find the use of first person helps to lessen the impact of accidentally controlling other characters. And honestly, it's never seemed self-centered at all to me - and not just my own, reading first-person from other characters' points of view has been fine as well. It doesn't suddenly make the story all about me just because I write in first-person. It just makes it easier to get into character.

Like I say though, I will go for third-person if necessary.

I don't really hate it, but I don't particularly like it either.

When it happens, I want the record to show that I totally called it.

Although many sequels do indeed suck (we don't talk about Dragonheart: A New Beginning), there are a lot of cases in which they improve upon - or at least are on par with - the original.

First was Pinkie Pie in 5 Seconds. I think there was another as well, but don't remember for sure.

Just like to say...I don't like Star Wars either.

I maintain that Fluttershy's shy and timid nature is all a façade, and she's secretly using The Stare to build an army of loyal brainwashed animal slaves to conquer Equestria.

First place I saw it was That Guy With The Glasses. Saw it popping up in a few other places. Decided to give it a shot. Became hooked.

Fluttershy all the way.

I did. Thankfully, they have excellent internet access in the afterlife.
