Starburst

[colour=#4b0082]"Hmmm... I don't believe I've ever had borscht pie before... but from the sound of it, it doesn't seem all too appetizing. Most of my pies feature fruit as their prime ingredient.. You know.. Oranges, Zap Apples, Key limes, Lemons, Raspberries and Blueberries... I learned how to make custard tarts from my mother as well.. She was quite the Patissier in her days. But I absolutely insist on baking you all a pie. It will be absolutely scrumptious compared to the sub-par buffet dealings you'd find normally on a train ride of this caliber.." [/colour] Starburst made her way to the Kitchen car and commandeered it for her own baking purposes. The wishes of the cooks mattered little to her, as she could likely compensate them for any lost time or even by cooking food to replace the regular buffet food on the train. While baking she decided that she would also make some of her Macaroni and cheese for the buffet as well. Shortly after finishing her decision making she had a crust rolled out and floured. She also picked the freshest limes she could find out of the produce available and began squeezing the limes through a juicer. She whisked the juice in with some egg yolks and some condensed milk until the mixture became smooth and creamy, and poured the mixture into the pie crust. While the pie was in the oven she moved onto the pasta and the cheese sauce, using the same method with milk, cheese, and salt to make a delicious cheesy masterpiece, which she combined with the soft macaroni noodles. She also took slices of cheese, grated them with a cheese grater, and mixed them into the pasta to create a gooey, thick, cheesy texture. She transported the macaroni to a buffet pan and took it out to the buffet, throwing out the old pan with borderline disgust. She also took the opportunity to show off her frilly purple apron, because just because someone was cooking, doesn't mean they couldn't look good doing it. By that time the pie she was baking was finished cooking, so she took the pie out of the oven and garnished it with lime zest and peels shaped into musical notes and notations with a paring knife. Shortly after she was finished decorating the pie she piped some whipped cream onto the pie and let it chill for a few minutes in the blast freezer. After pulling it out she retrieved a few saucers along with a knife and served a slice to those still sitting at the table. She cut a piece for each of the mares sitting at the table, distributing the largest piece to Octavia. [colour=#4b0082]"I hope you enjoy it. The cooks were less than happy when I commandeered their kitchen but I consider it well worth the effort."[/colour] she said, smiling.

Most likely your issue is due to the most recent update, for which there is not a stable version of bukkit yet. You must always wait for the server to update first before you update your client else you wont be able to connect.

It's back up. I had to reboot it.

Double Update- Due to the Magical Forcefield that has been Erected in Canterlot Castle, Creepers have been banished from Equestria.

Update- The server has been updated to 1.4.4.

Starburst inquired more into the spiced cider that Octavia had enjoyed in Appleloosa. [colour=#4b0082]"Was the place you purchased that cider from called "Starbucks Saloon"? I've owned that establishment in Appleloosa since The owner of the Salt lick sold the building to me. I turned it into a little cafe where you can get coffee, tea, cider, and cakes at reasonable prices. I've had it for quite some time now.. I don't have time to run it so I've delegated the management to Morton since he's such a talented individual.. I also run "A little slice of heaven" in Canterlot. It's a tea shop built ontop of a cloud outside Canterlot's fine-dining district. There's a plank that leads from the ground there to the establishment, and It can be moved between Canterlot and Cloudsdale easily enough because of its location. All of my businesses use mine and my mothers recipes for cooking and mixing drinks for everypony, so if there's anything in particular you like I'm sure I could replicate the recipe for you here in the kitchen for a moment." [/colour] [colour=#4b0082]"I can make a delicious pie or a cake for you. Would you like one?"[/colour] she said as the balalaika playing pony stepped up to the table to introduce herself. Her little table was turning into quite the gathering place, and as much as she was used to the hustle and bustle of rich ponies in Canterlot she doubted that this would be a similar type of meeting. The majority of ponies here were musicians of some sort, so the topic was sure to be music. Starburst smiled a little and asked Octavia, [colour=#4b0082]"Are you a fan of T'clopski? I think he was the best classical composer of his time."[/colour]

Starburst brings a hoof to her mouth and stops to think for a moment. [colour=#4b0082]"No I don't think I've heard of you before. The music that I normally play is in the tea shop is more of a classical nature."[/colour] she says to Vinyl Scratch. [colour=#4b0082]"However I have heard of Octavia, Maven of the Strings, Diva of the Doghouse base, The Celebrity of Classical music. A true prodigy of the Cello and other similar stringed instruments. In the tea shop the smooth sounds and dulcet tones go well with a taste of minty tea and delicious cake."[/colour] Starburst says as she takes a sip of the cider she had prepared. [colour=#4b0082]"Though I wouldn't be unopen to listening to your repitoire to see if its something I might like. I even happened to have a pair of noise cancelling earphones with me to get rid of the ambient train noises and help me sleep."[/colour] Starburst says, reaching into a small bag below the table to pull out a pair of frilly purple lace-embroidered earmuffs. [colour=#4b0082]"The bottom of one side has a connector for a musical input. Not to mention it keeps other unwelcome train noises out of my thoughts."[/colour] [colour=#4b0082]"Sometimes the train noises bother me and keep me awake, so I have a pair so I can sleep. I also have a cute little mask to keep the light out of my eyes. See?"[/colour] Starburst pulls the girly mask around her eyes and lets go of the elastic, it snapping into her head. It was at this time that someone came up to their table and addressed Vinyl and Octavia, which caused Starburst to then lift her mask off of her eyes and back into her bag. She threw a sour glare at Melody as she came to visit the table. [colour=#4b0082]"Have you.. met before?"[/colour] she says, addressing Vinyl and Octavia, turning her head towards them.[colour=#4b0082] "She seems to know you two somehow."[/colour]

[colour=#000080]"Starburst. I'm Starburst."[/colour] she said to Octavia as Vinyl came to grab the final seat at the table of four.[colour=#000080] "And you two are?[/colour][colour=#4b0082]"[/colour] she says, with interest. [colour=#000080]"I've seen you at parties in Canterlot before I believe.. However I could be mistaken."[/colour] she says, addressing Octavia about her musical inclination. [colour=#000080]"But I don't know your names."[/colour] [colour=#000080]"What brings you three to Stalliongrad? Feel free to help yourself to the cider."[/colour] she mentions to Wordplay and the other two. Wordplay blanched when Vinyl came to sit beside her. She could only imagine how the mare must've felt at having one of her heroes sit beside her. With a bit of a sadistic yet playful grin she addresses wordplay and the others with innumerable inquiries into their likes and dislikes of various foods and sundries. [colour=#000080]"What kind of food do you normally consume? When you drink which do you prefer to imbibe? With you being a musician what kind of music do you enjoy the most? Are you into fashion? Who's your favorite designer?"[/colour]

Starburst, quite unable to eat all of these delicious sandwiches on her own is in quite a conundrum. It would be a waste to let such expensive sandwiches go to waste, and she didn't want to have to throw them away. After a few minutes of watching the scenery pass by she came up with an idea and smiled happily. If she gave them away it would save somepony else some money on a buffet, plus she might make a few friends in the process. [colour=#4b0082]"Excuse me."[/colour] Starburst said to a rather demure looking pony with a bowtie. [colour=#4b0082]"Would you and your friend care to join me? I happened to order quite a bit more sandwiches than I am able to finish on my own and I don't want them to go to waste, they were too expensive to be throwing away money like that. It would save you the cost of having to purchase a buffet plate. I also have a full bottle of cider here that I'm sure I won't be able to finish on my own as well that you and your friend can drink from.. with extra glasses of course."[/colour]

In lieu of eating food from the buffet Starburst requested a silver tray of fresh sandwiches from the chef. They were likely to be quite delicious, and well worth the extra money she paid to have them special ordered as opposed to the typical buffet food. Starburst was normally one to frown on buffet fare, since it was normally heated using lamps or heated water and had poor taste compared to food that was freshly made. However.. the tray which was initially supposed to contain two, perhaps three sandwiches was now piled ten high due to the nature of the order she made. She was certainly unable to eat that many sandwiches on her own, so for now they sat there on the tray as she consumed the one that she had in her hoof. After taking a bite she looked blissfully up at the ceiling, closing her eyes and savoring the taste of the gourmet ingredients. After opening her eyes she smiled a little and looked over at the buffet with disdain. Surely that food could not hold a candle to the glory that was these sandwiches. These sandwiches were like gold to her refined palate, she can only imagine what she could compare the buffet fare to.. but she shrugs to herself and finishes off the triangle sandwich that she had picked up, wiping a hoof on a napkin. She grabbed the bottle of cider sitting beside the tray, screwed a corkscrew into the bottle and popped the cork. She then poured a little bit into a glass and took a tip, mulling over its flavor. It was also quite delicious.. [colour=#4b0082]"My my my... This food is quite delicious.. I am impressed."[/colour] she couldn't resist saying to herself before taking another sip of cider. After her outburst she sighed a little and stared out the window, leaning on a hoof and observing the scenery as it slowly passed by. She only wished that someone would stop by and keep her company during the trip. She would be more than willing to share the sandwiches and cider she had procured with them... Lonliness does that to a pony.

A new server configuration file has been generated, and the main topic has been updated with the names of the administrators of the server. A list of all the people on the server is becoming too unruly to keep track of so I've exchanged it with a list of the people you can message to gain access to the server.

[colour=#00ff00]"Hmmph. If my dress gets any muddier I may have to leave. If this filth is given time to set I'll never be able to wear it again."[/colour] Cider says, looking at the pig with a mixture of disdain and anger. [colour=#00ff00]"Do you have something I can use to clean my dress? I shant be wearing it much longer."[/colour] Apple cider begins pulling off the beads in her mane and from her dress and begins taking off the individual pieces of her dress until she's wearing nothing but a choker with an apple on it. She removes a comb from one of the hidden flaps in the dresses petticoat and uses it to brush her mane. The comb also has an apple on it as well. She pulls her mane back around the front of her ear on both sides and uses the comb as a holder to keep the loose strands in place. [colour=#00ff00]"There we are. I feel presentable now."[/colour]

I went into the server properties and allowed flying.. This shouldn't happen anymore. If It continues happening I may have to check again.

I play. Frequently. In Ranked. I'm AP mid. I normally play as Ahri, but I'll play as Annie or Anivia as well. Today I went 8/0/9 as Ahri in Ranked.

It looks nice so far. I approve.

I remodeled the stadium in Ponyville. It can be used for P-sports now.

Apple Cider quickly hiked up her dress a little bit and quickly scaled a table until the uncouth swine ( the pigs of course ) were curtailed and corraled by the more experienced farmhands. [colour=#00ff00]"My word. Whatever would cause pigs to do such a thing?"[/colour]

The server has been rolled back two days. Part of it was still damaged prior to that, so I went ahead and rolled back a month. For anyone who had worked before that, my apologies.

Apple Cider nodded at Applejack when she was finished with the game of horseshoes, coming out surprisingly well for her first time. Though Apple Cider knew it was nothing but beginners luck. Half of her throws were just lucky coincidences, and she's quite sure that she' had left a hole in a nearby apple tree with one of her pitches. She would make note of the game and maybe practice a little more so she could get better at the game legitimately instead of through strokes of random luck. After Applejack and the rest moved off she headed to the refreshment table, sampling the various desserts and foods available. However, this WAS the Apple family reunion.. so it was pretty much assured that she was going to be eating some form of food made with apples as either a primary or tertiary ingredient. Apples were the fare here, and she was quick to sample a bouquet of cider from Sweet Apple acres as opposed to her own establishment. She sipped a cup of cider and let the soft brown liquid make its way over her tongue and throughout her mouth, closing her eyes and holding the liquid in her mouth before swallowing. [colour=#00ff00]"Hmmm..."[/colour] she said contemplatively as she measured the sugar ratio in the drink, compared it to the many other types of cider she's had over the years, and then nodded in affirmation of its taste. [colour=#00ff00]"Not bad..[/colour]" she said, taking another small sip. She was a little disappointed in its bouquet, but it was still a step above her other competitors. If anything this batch suffered from being underaged... The amber liquid wasn't left inside the barrel long enough and never had the chance to absorb the flavors from the wood around it. It lacked some of the tang that a more developed cider would have. But that wouldn't stop her from smiling and sipping more of the liquid. Apple Cider was left to wonder exactly who in the extended apple family actually made Cider other than herself..

You should be able to get in now. If you aren't able to let me know your userid and such :3
