  1. Is it because multi-accounting here is seen as an opportunity to evade banishment?
  2. I don't get it. Ponies these days are loving some kind of...animal that's bipedal. That thing is for FILLIES, yet colts and stallions are liking this. I mean, it isn't even good! - Long Drive
  3. This was a question I've been thinking for a while. I know that there is no canon information to set off a certain price for golf and silver bits. If so, is it best to set a probable price for a random object so that it doesn't look ridiculous?
  4. Roleplay Type: World of Equestria RP Name: Skewer Sex: Male Age: Late teen colt Species: Pegasus Eye colour: Blue Gray ([colour=#6699CC]#6699CC[/colour]) Coat: Desert Sand ([colour=#EDC9AF]#EDC9AF[/colour]) Mane/Tail: Mint Leaf ([colour=#3EB489]#3EB489[/colour]) His tail is short and wavy, and his mane parts toward his ears, somewhat disheveled. Physique: Average for a teenage colt. Not very muscular nor athletic. - Residence: Cloudsdale Occupation: Student Cutie Mark: A white pawn and a black bishop, crossing each other. (Refer to picture in spoiler) Cutie Mark History: The day where Skewer got his cutie mark was a completely unexpected one. Skewer, when he was a much younger colt, decided to join a chess tournament after being more experienced with the game of chess. He had great faith and confidence that he would win, and he entered the tournament in that way. Never did he knew that he would gain his cutie mark in this way. Skewer played through the chess tournament with a total of 8.5 points after the round robin rotation. His final match in the tournament, however, was also the hardest. He played with his opponent- a unicorn filly, actually- all the way to the end-game. It was a match that could have went either way. Unfortunately, Skewer was the one who resigned from the game when it was obvious that a loss for him was inevitable. Skewer was disappointed by the fact that he wasn't going to be first place, until there was a sudden flash, and on his flank appeared a cutie mark of two chess pieces. Skewer, in a minute, then realized that the true meaning behind the game of chess was not at all about winning. From every chess game, he knew that he was learning something new, something unknown. Actually, he "won" the game already; his cutie mark proved that he was worthy of being a chess player. History: Skewer was born in the bustling city of Las Pegasus, though his family moved to Cloudsdale after when he was still a foal. His memory of that place was feeble, a small event in his foalhood. His name was a term in chess (where both the king and a piece are pinned, or the king is in check in front of that piece), which chess was mainly his talent. He grew up normally like other pegasi who lived in Cloudsdale, though as he grew older, he took an interest for something else. How this interest of the game of chess began took place when his family and he flew to Ponyville. Skewer grew curious as he saw two ponies play against each other on a game of chess. He soon tried to play the game with the ponies himself, only ending up losing badly on every game. As he returned to Cloudsdale, he had so many questions about the game unexplained. Although he wasn't very fond of reading books, Skewer tried to borrow or buy books relating about chess so he could learn more about the basics himself, and some other moves such as castling or en passant. He even went to attend chess lessons from a mentor just to learn more about the tactics and strategies, the aggressive moves or trap that lay behind the chess board. His parents sometimes even jokes on how Skewer knew more about the game than his school studies. Now, Skewer is much older, and he still enjoys the game of chess, though he is now a much more experienced player thanks to a great deal of tutoring and learning. He participates in chess tournaments nowadays. Character Summary: Skewer is talented in chess, though he claims himself that he could play different forms of chess play. He has a good memory, trained from keeping track of the pieces and moves in blindfold chess. (Because of this, he wears a headband to act as a blindfold if needed.) He only feels that his life would be complete if he does as much things as possible in life. Because of this, he does a lot of odd jobs around Cloudsdale, and joins large events that happen nearby. He also says how chess wasn't for the "intelligent", only for the willing to learn, and so he continues playing the game not only because he likes it, but for a second reason for proving his statement correct. His main goal was to obtain the rank of grand-master in chess, the highest professional rank in chess. Only the most extraordinary chess player ponies obtain such a rank. Although he has played chess for a long time, he's still far from becoming a grand-master. (He does claim to be an unofficial expert in chess, however.) He likes playing chess (of course), solving mathematical puzzles, and card games. (though he never gambles, he plays it just for entertainment) On the other hand, he hates loud distractions, impulsiveness, spicy foods, blundering (making serious mistakes) in chess, and hot weather. He also get uneasy when he loses pieces in chess. In his leisure time, he reads some chess strategies with the books he have. In fact, he has a whole bookshelf of topic involving previous chess games, openings, and tactics. When he's not doing that, he sometimes goes out for a short flight or "reading" the newspaper. In reality, Skewer is only reading the parts which contain the comics and puzzles. Skewer is somewhat good at persuading other ponies. He has decent social skills, and is determined to take risks; after all, you have to do it often in a chess game. He tries to work hard in order to do things more efficiently. He is condescending, however, and make other ponies feel inferior by acting as if he's the more knowledgeable one. He lacks empathy, and would continue his talking without noticing whether other ponies are listening or interested in his topic. Skewer sometimes worries on things that will take down his winning position and discourage himself, so he often can't hold his frustration when he loses what he earned so hardly. Picture: Trivia: The reason why Skewer likes "blitz" chess was the speed of the playing; it was quick, and both opponents have to quicken their thought in time panic. The knight is Skewer's favorite chess piece. Ironically, his name means a double attack for a bishop. (A double attack with a knight is a fork.) Skewer plays the white pieces more than the black, not because he goes first, but because he believes the white side has more opening opportunities than black. OP's Note: Finally...its finished. I've been delayed for two days due to site and computer errors, and several issues has force me to rewrite this. (such as the computer closing the window down on me when I'm not finished, or my brother "accidentally" deleting it.) Mind me if it's not good, I had to rewrite this several times.
  5. What's on your mind? Nothing. I've done nothing productive all day.

  6. I didn't hear his songs before, but considering I like his songs, correct! TPBM lurks on Canterlot a lot.
  7. Yeah, I saw that. Looks like it's going back from the timeline, considering this takes place in the Golden Age of Piracy. (Probably the 1690s to 1720s.) What's making me curious is the present day. Who's the main character now? Desmond is dead, and basically I'm wondering about the new character. Apparently it's going to be a Abstergo member. I'm also tired on how PETA is being so butt-hurt about the whole thing. AC4 isn't focusing on "killing whales", that was something fitting in that era, and they're not, in any way, encouraging whale killing in real life. If it was that way, hunting should have been banned in AC3 because it "encourages" killing bears and wolves.
  8. That's...not far from my place... We are trying to steal your right of posting the Welcome song. Anyways, welcome to Canterlot!
  9. This is like the Civil War of Equestria... Lunar Republic if Luna secedes, Followers of Chaos if there's no conflict. I mean, chocolate rain is good! I like chocolate rain! It's like, infinite amounts of chocolate, pouring into my mouth!
  10. To be honest, I can't even think of plagiarism. That's an actual crime in real life and you can be fined or jailed. Usually I just do a "pre-draw", which is drawing out the "skeleton" of the pony, then draw the actual body and all that. (Pony bodies are not that hard, just two circles that are close together and connected at the tops and bottoms.) It's best to watch how someone else draws, that can help you if you're still a newbie on drawing. That's what I did, actually. One thing: Is someone still considered an "art thief" even if he or she, say, cites or acknowledge another artist for using his or her art in any way (even as a reference)? It was DOWNRIGHT despicable! Sorry, I HAD to do that...it felt so fitting.
  11. Welcome to Canterlot! Tough life you have there. I think it's best for you to just admit it. It isn't that bad, and if your friends insult you for that, it's pretty obvious they're not your real friends. “Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one.” - C. S. Lewis.
  12. Writing a large wall of text has the same effect equal to roleplaying your way in. Fluttershy started it.
  13. Update: Anyone play Far Cry 3? Just bought the game two weeks ago, playing it. It's kind of addictive...
  14. This looks awfully like Raindrops. Except the cutie mark.
  15. Actually, if we proposed Twilight is immortal, it'll start ANOTHER fandom idea. What if, say, Twilight found out that she would be immortal for the rest of her life? (or at least live for an extremely long time like Princess Celestia) She'll have to face the pain of losing her friends and every pony she know from the bitterness of being mortal, or make the decision to give up her powers so she could be "mortal" like her friends.
  16. Watch creepypasta, nearly get a heart attack, then watch another. What's wrong with me...

  17. It's very doubtful "death" would actually strike in a show like MLP. To be honest, if this wasn't an "all aged" show, I wouldn't mind actually having death; not because I'm sadistic and I like it, but because it makes it more realistic, if they used it properly at the right times, that is. Your parents died? That's just really tragic and sad. I hope you're still okay. ...I feel so different, having everything I need when someone doesn't have enough.
  18. The left looks like a grown version of Pound Cake. ...Not really. But the colour schemes are similar.
  19. And that's the big hole of the whole story. It's most likely proposing that time travel can still be done by simply creating other "dimensions" or time lines. At least you don't see overuse of time travel. That happens too much on other science fiction movies, and make things have less sense in them.
  20. It also means that you have a friend messaging you. If you don't look at your pings, you don't get to see their PMs. Wait, is a ping= Notification?
  21. A newb? Nonsense! Drawing ponies= professional brony. Welcome to Canterlot, by the way!
