Starburst

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]

Is flying turned off? For some reason, I can fly like creative mode, but that kicks you. So do flymods.

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

Alrighty. Due to a sizable donation the server is now paid for for the rest of the year at 4 slots!

Super Mario Brothers.

I.

Have.

No.

Job.

I could do commissions to pay for the server cost. If anyone wants a vector of their ponies or whatever its a flat 20USD into my paypal.

Otherwise, it stays two. It expires in 13 days. If I can't find some way to make some money to pay for it I can't keep it up.

I can do any pose you've seen in the show with changes. If you have a sketch or something or a pony creator pony to base an image on it helps.

I think he's funnier.

Starburst smiles, and thanks rarity, before leaving to attend to other matters.

( I'll be back for the dress later! )

Alright yeah. Go ahead

Starburst let loose a salvo and fired at all of the targets in the farthest rows back, aiming for only the cupcake.

( 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 89, 88, 89 )

In the end what a leak does is make people want that much more to play the full version of the game. There are many other games that have suffered leaking before development was finished that turned out fine. Mass Effect 3 is just one just to name a few.

Giving information about a game just makes people want to play the game more. And now that it has been leaked it can't be unleaked, so people are just going to have to play the unfinished product until a more concrete version of the game does come out.

I do feel bad for these guys though. They tried to make something that everyone could love, trusted the wrong person, and got screwed. Now a pre-version of the game is going to be out there until the finished version comes out and people forget about the old one and play the new one.

Apple Cider grabbed one of the horseshoes and hurled it overhand at the stake. It slammed into it and spun around with force before plopping down into the dirt, ( 20 + 13, Ringer ) to which Apple Cider jumped up in the air and clopped her hooves together. The motion got her caught in her long dress and she had to struggle to realign herself before she lost her balance.

"Wh-whoaaa." She said with concern as she nearly tumbled into the dirt, the horseshoe in her other hand was released before she was able to correct her balance, causing it to roll along the ground before thumping down near the steak. ( 18 + 13, 0.5 in ) Unable to correct her balance after the counterweight horseshoe was released from her hoof she tumbled to the ground in a cloud of dust, coughing liberally.

Starburst beamed at the reception and shuffled away from the slowly melting table. "Ehehe... Would you be able to finish it by tomorrow evening.. perhaps?" she said innocently, scratching the back of her head with a hoof, avoiding eye contact and pursing her lips in knowing that in coming here so late with her party planning she was putting an awful lot of stress on the dressmaker to create something elegant and magnificent in such a short period of time.

"If you could I would definitely be willing to include a ticket to the event in your payment, as well as mentioning to a few of the Canterlot upper crust where I got such a magnificently crafted dress.." Starburst said, ending her sentence short. It wasn't good haggling sense to put all your cards on the table at once, and she had a few more cards to throw out before the negotiations were over.

Starburst sets her "beverage", down on the table, where it promptly begins to melt through its glass, through the table, and onto the floor. It's a wonder what a filly can do with some apple juice and a blowtorch nowadays. She gently pats Sweetie belle on the head in silent mourning for the juice that once was.

Adressed by the fashionista she promptly turns her head from the juicy catastrophe and its creator wondering how her lips survived where the table and glass did not. "I'm here to commission a dress for my Gala. I've sketched out a design on the sketchpad over there." she says, pointing a hoof in the direction of the sketchpad. It needs to be ready shortly, and it will be on display to all of the canterlot elite while I'm wearing it during the Gala, so it must be absolutely perfect. Naturally I knew I had to come here. Few can take needle to thread on a dressmaker's form and come up with things half as good as you've created.. And I've bought many a dress in the past from others and found their work to be not quite up-to-snuff."

Starburst stared at the glass with burnt edges. It was obvious that the glass had warped from the heat. The liquid inside had long since congealed along the edges of the glass, forming a sort of sick looking brown layer on the surface of.. actually could this even be called a liquid anymore?

Not wanting to hurt the feelings of Sweetie belle, she purses her lips closed and lifts the glass up to her mouth. The stench that rises as the liquid moves is sickly sweet, and almost forces a reaction away from her poker face. Still, she manages to stay composed and it looks as if she's drinking for a moment or two, instead the "liquid" is only barely touching her lips, and not passing at all through beneath them. It was a technique she once learned and mastered in Canterlot when one didn't want to imbibe but was offered something they just couldn't refuse.

She leans over and pats Sweetie Belle on the mane, smiling at her. "Thank you for the refreshments." she says, inching closer to a plant inconspicuously.

Apple Cider fetched the horseshoes and rolled away part of her dress so it wouldn't get dirty when she hurled her horseshoes.. Fortunately for everypony the first throw didn't hit anyone.. but unfortunately, the mailbox was open and the wild pitch landed inside the box hard enough for the door to jar itself closed and the flag to come up. ( 7+14, Miss. ) "Oh.. my.. I do seem to need quite a bit of practice at this.. I'm still getting used to the weight of these heavy shoes." she said, quite sure at this point that the shoes were used as weights for some form of manual labor.

Her second pitch was much more successful than her first, it sailed through the air in somewhat slow motion, spinning on its access as it slammed into the pike, spinning around it until it fell lazily around the stake and into the dirt. Apple Cider couldn't help but holler when the shoe sailed straight towards the stake. "I did it!" She said with a rousing cheer, taking another bite of the cookie she had in her hoof. ( 19+15, Ringer ) The third pitch flew at a strange angle and rolled along the ground ( 14 + 16, 1.5 inch ) and dropped before it could make its way to the stake. "Ooooh... So close..."

Her last pitch gets closer, but still lies an inch away from the stake after it finishes rolling. ( 9 + 3, 1 inch ) "Oh well. I think I'm getting used to the weight but I'm nowhere near as good as him." she says, motioning over to Braeburn.

Aww deaar... That sucks. Good to know, anyways..

If you're gonna blame anyone, blame the griefers.
