  1. Thanks for the correction there Phil, my bad fire not spotting that. Typical; my first time as showrunner and I screw something up...
  2. Floamable Floam?! Isn't that banned by the UN?
  3. I actually like it quite a lot; my first time playing a Farmville style social game, and the execution seems pretty solid to me. They need to fix the social elements though; I can't get the Gameloft Social network to work (according to forums I'm not the only one), and I'm hesitant about linking to facebook. For a game like this, not having fully functional social stuff is pretty much a death knell...
  4. Canterlot Voice Episode 16 - Recorded....

  5. Then surely Celestia would still be at fault for not trying to get the truth out? Lies of omission are still a form of deception. However, the evidence presented makes me lean toward Celestia deliberately suppressing information. Note how the guard at the beginning delivers the news: "I am simply to tell you that... it... has returned." If Celestia is not suppressing information about the Crystal Empire, why this roundabout way of giving this news, especially since it's so urgent...

      Well them too... but I was actually referring to dead soldiers. :-/

  7. Fine, I bow to your tyrannical ways, and have changed the RP type. It also occured to me that Gak would actually have no way of communicating, since Gak is Gak. I have rectified the summary to reflect this, and am currently seeking another RPer willing to submit an app for the Gak narrator.
  8. I'm perfectly aware of the fact I posted the app three times, how else am I supposed to ensure people will actually remember what was in it?!? Clever wordplay? Good writing? Well chosen visuals? Don't be silly... As for whether this should be for Mane RP, I think a pretty strong case can be made for making this the exception to the species rule. Gak can be fitted into World of Equestria rather seamlessly after all; my plan is to simply go into every thread and post about 30 seconds worth of Gak related content every few posts (repeated several times of course). I'm sure you agree that there's no way this would be at all jarring or incongruous....
  9. Excellent, I've added in details of Gak's prior relationship with Floam, let me know if you want anything changed in that bit. (Although I may just cut it, since it really isn't about Gak...)
  10. Roleplay Type: Crossovers Name: GAK Sex: It's Gak Gak Gak! Age: It's Gak Gak Gak! Species (or "What is GAK?!?"): It's Gak Gak Gak! Eye colour: It's Gak Gak Gak! Coat: All sorts of Gak colours. There's even Gak in the Dark! Glow in the dark Gak! That glows!!! Mane/Tail: It's Gak Gak Gak! Physique: Incredible squishable! Squashable squeezable!! Stretchable bounceable!!! Flopable popable stuff!!!! Residence: Everywhere. Occupation: Making wacky Gak sounds! Cutie Mark: A Gak Pack and Gak Vac (sold seperately) History: Gak apparently went somewhere for a while, but now GAK IS BACK! Character Summary: Gak is here and wants you to know about the most important thing in the world: GAK! Some might call gak self centred, but gak just thinks you'll be so amazed by the properties of Gak that you might accidentally stop paying attention to what Gak is saying about Gak! And that would be terrible! Don't worry though, Gak knows that the solution to this problem is obvious, so as soon as Gak finishes talking about Gak, Gak just goes back to the beginning and starts again. That way, Gak can be sure that everyone has all the relevant information about Gak! Don't think that Gak is just interested in Gak though. Gak would be nothing without Gak's accessories, like the Gak Copier, the Gak Colour Mixer and of course the Gac Vac! Gak is just as keen to talk about these as Gak is to talk about Gakself, perhaps even more so. When Gak isn't talking about Gak, Gak will occasionally let Gak's friend/very special someproduct Floam say a few words, but unfortunately Floam has no interest in talking about Gak, instead preferring to talk about Floam. This depresses Gak, since Gak knows that talk of Floam will only confuse Gak's other friends. Fortunately, Gak knows that any confusion can be easily solved by talking about Gak some more. Unfortunately, much of the above is just Gak's internal fantasy; Gak, being Gak, cannot talk at all or move of Gak's own volition. Instead, Gak just sits there imagining how brilliant everyone's life would be if only Gak could tell everyone about the joys of Gak. GAK ATTACK!

      BUT I AM! Also, sleep time is over. You know what that means Tenkan...

  14. Would you suggest picking a different topic for the thread then? My intention is to take the debate along the lines of whether innate magical power is sufficient qualification to rule. I personally feel there's enough to go on, but don't want to tread on anyone's toes/hooves...
  15. So, I got bored and decided to look through the "most liked content"section. Scroll through, reach the bottom... O_O

      I'll add one to that : )

  16. You need to be a confirmed Roleplayer to post there. Basically, posting in the Mane RP section of the forum is restricted to those who have submitted a character application. This is done so they can keep the tone of World of Equestria/Mane RP consistent with that of the show, and for various other reasons (I'm not helpstaff, so I can't list them all). Since you don't appear to have created an application (unless I missed something) you are currently restricted to the Free for All RP section, which has less stringent rules and is still a pretty vibrant part of the site. I suggest you post there in the meantime, and look over the World of Equestria info page to see if it seems to your tastes.
  17. My OC Ashen Smirk has just moved to Stalliongrad and is most definitely not a party pony. Might be interesting/hilarious to have him roped into this somehow, although he may not quite set the tone you're looking for. I'm up for participating in this, whether you want me is up to you... XD
  18. Hi, I'm currently preparing an RP thread, and a question has occurred to me: am I correct in assuming that Equestria is a Hereditary Thaumocracy (where the ruling dynasty is in power due to their inherent magical power) in Mane RP, or is some other system of government in effect? Details here if you want more context: EDIT: Had a sudden brainwave and decided to read through Diomedes' Celestia app. It cleared up a lot for me, but I may as well summarise what I gleaned from it, just in case I'm completely misreading things: Celestia is effectively immortal, and is the supreme ruler by dint of her vast magical power (although being compassionate, wise and having deposed the tyrannical former ruler don't hurt either). Therefore while Equestria is a Thaumocracy, the hereditary bit doesn't apply. Perhaps it's deiocentric, but I get the feeling that's just a word I've made up... Sound about right?
  19. You make a good point; I had pictured it as more of a seminar/Q&A than a lecture, especially as the good professor hasn't really had opportunity to prepare any notes. Perhaps I should change the title to reflect this. Your point stands however, I do need to think some more on how to make this more interactive. I'll mull it over with my spare grey matter while I'm at work (data entry and receptionist duty leaves me with plenty of surplus cerebral runtime) and update this once I get home. In the meantime, any suggestions would be much appreciated. EDIT: Okay, it's lunch time and here are my current thoughts: Instead of a lecture/seminar, how about an IC unstructured debate, very loosely moderated by Prof. Smirk (who will of course be participating himself, so plenty of opportunity for blatant bias). Here's my idea for a topic: "Hereditary thaumocracy is the best form of government." Ashen will be arguing in favour of this, purely for the sake of irony, and deliberately subverting his own points to boot. Main problem with this (as far as I can see right now) is that I'm unsure whether the Equestrian government is hereditary or deiocentric (is that even a word? it is now) in Mane RP. Will have to check with helpstaff, but if I'm wrong this can easily be changed. Does this sound like it could work?
