Ginger Mint Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 hi hiI left the identity of the characters who talked/tricked Ginger Mint into the race open, if anypony wants to pick up that role, just let me know. It could be more than one person even.I'm not sure how it would play out, maybe a friendly rivalry, maybe your character thought it was a practical joke, maybe it was clerical error. I figure we could work something out either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 i took the nerdy liberty of making a nice sophisticated chart for the scoring of the event. After Manestream's first scoring, here is the leaderboard as they run: Ginger Mint 9 Lyra 8 Swift Breeze 8 Gilda 8 Bramble Rose 8 Holly Dash 8 Mayday 8 Rose 8 Mobius 7 Big Mac 7 Applejack 7 Carrot Fields 7 Corsair 7 Flicker 6 Zephyr 6 Klondike 6 Clutch Vibrafang 6 Seeker 6 Breaker 5 Dixie 5 Harmony Everskies 5 Mojo 4 Dustsy 4 Pinkie Pie 4 Survey 3 Shanna 3 Stormsong 3 Dotty Droll 3 Here's an editable doc. You'll notice the spreadsheet has built-in functions so that it adds the scores automatically when entered. No cheating, lol, i have a hard copy with scores, lol.https://docs.google....&hl=en_US#gid=0Also, you'll notice several ponies have numbers on their flank. If you have a number, or forgot to make one, feel free to to edit it so that your number is reflected on the scoresheet. Bramble and Willow both have 13, not that it matters, though.

Ginger Mint Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 hi hiI'm surprised I got a lucky six. Knowing my way with dice I was expecting all ones... although sometimes I suspect online dice rollers of being weighted towards the high end. I don't know how everypony else is planning on roleplaying the scores. I was thinking that for myself, I would play it fast and loose until maybe the 5th or 6th leg and then start trying to roleplay my position a little more strictly. Or is the ranking an entirely OOC thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is the ranking an entirely OOC thing?This is what I was thinking. Since the probability of anypony winning is left wide open, we should allow our characters to do whatever we think would be best for them, and then adhear to their energy and strategy, or lack thereof, towards the end to put the scores in action.And as far as the winner... By the time we get to the last section, the race will probably come down to 3 or 4 ponies, as several other ponies will be mathmetically eliminated, since 9 is the most you can score per section.

RarityDash Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Oh, I didn't know we were even going to get to know the scores. That's awesome. It's great to see Gilda got a good first score. Maybe she really will win like she so wants to :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayday Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 I was trying to communicate with Mint but seem like I didn't got the chance before the thread get locked. I really suck at forum roleplay. x.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger Mint Posted September 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 hi hiI'm not very good at forum roleplay either. I'm still rather new to this whole thing, though I bet we could pick up the conversation again somewhere along the line.((I got called in to work and lost a good chunk of my saturday. I'm going to have to get cracking on my opening post for stage 4 first chance I get in the morning.)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 nonsense. If you missed a reply, just post it in the next section. No harm, no foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger Mint Posted September 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 hi hiI don't know how many runners are going to see this, but I can only hope... The finish line is drawing close, and soon the race is going to be over. If we're going to have an impromptu musical number, we're going to have to do it soon! I don't know if any of the music ponies have anything in mind, but I was thinking maybe a song to the theme from Chariots of Fire? I know its a little slow pace for Pinkie Pie, but it fits the theme pretty well.Maybe something like:I'm steadily racing,the key is the pacing,no worries of placing, if its over soon.my legs are so sorejust want to be overhow long is the course, its gone on for miles.at least I'm not here, all by, myself.at least I have friends,and because of that one, simple, fact, I'll be sad when it ends.Hmm, maybe thats too hard of a rhythm. Or maybe its not sap related enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger Mint Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 hi hiI'm heading out of town on Friday, might not get back until Sunday. I might get back Saturday night, but for now it looks like I might end up with just a single finale post first chance I get on Friday. Perhaps any additional wrap up posts can happen in a different thread somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconofChaos Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hey all, just to let you know, I'm unlikely to get another Lyra post in before the topic closes. I'm just not up for RP right now. So tired Sorry.Out of curiosity, would anyone be interesting in continuing the RP in a new topic? Or moving to some sort of after race party maybe? Assuming Manestream is okay with it, since technically the event should be over at the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger Mint Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 hi hiI know how you feel Diego. Some nights the text just doesn't flow from the tips of my fingers, instead its like trying to climb a brick wall. I'm interested in continuing on in a new topic, maybe Pinkie Pie can throw a party of some kind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otsdarva Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Indeed, maybe a small after event thread to close up what few stories are still awaiting an ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knight Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I, too, would really like to see a continuation. Like an afterparty or something. :3 Where everyone gets drunk off salt licks. LoL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojo Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I, too, would really like to see a continuation. Like an afterparty or something. :3 Where everyone gets drunk off salt licks. LoL. That's the spirit, Knight!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knight Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 I'm up for starting the new topic, if nopony else wants to. o.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZephyrBurst Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 I'd love to have one, someone start it in Ponyville! I would do it, but I don't trust myself with setting the scene, there are others here who can do set up much better than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconofChaos Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Are we going to have a continuation of the previous topic, or will this be more of a "the day after" thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZephyrBurst Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 I think a continuation is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconofChaos Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Alrighty then. Well it's late for me now, but I'll start the topic tomorrow if I can. Lyra needs to respond to Bon Bon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZephyrBurst Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 No worries, it would probably be better to wait for others to get back into it anyway. I was expecting the After Part to fire off a bit more than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger Mint Posted October 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 hi hiI wasn't quite sure how to fit myself into it after my last post in the running of the leaves ended up hanging. Does everypony know about it? Maybe PM invites would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
