However, given that tomorrow is my final exam (and that I have three weeks off after it), and that I (rather narcisstically) think that writing is one of my stronger talents, I have chosen to get started on it, with the aim of having it finished in some form by Gamesday. A daunting task? Perhaps, but no more daunting than some of the things I mentioned in my 1000th post.
Now, here's how I want you guys to help: what do you want to see in the codex? Should it be ponies only, or a combined forces kind of deal (read Buffalo mercenaries, etc)? Certain characters as SCs? I look forward to your input and reception.
hmmmm, I'm think all models should count as cavalry for obvious reasons (it'll also be interesting to see an army like that) and the idea of buffalo would be cool if you had them like kroot (form a mini army....cos we heard you like armies so we....you know the rest). critters should act more as servitors/henchmen than anything (maybe have them unlocked as troops if you take Fluttershy as an HQ ala coteaz)
for the buffalo stats I would say -1I and +1S/T compared to ponies and for ponies I would say mid I,T,S and WS+BS (maybe T3). not sure what kind of armour they should have though I'm thinking some kind of "shield of friendship" (6++ save) if the unit still has more than one member and also the obligatory power hoof as an upgrade
pegasuisisies should get better movement (maybe jetbikes?) and I would think take up a FA slot also, unicorns as psykers (elites maybe) maybe something like GK psyker squads
as for SC, not sure if luna and celestia would be a little bit OP but I can see rainbow dash unlocking pegasususues as troops and maybe have twilight unlock unicorns as troops? it would be nice to see all six as a command style squad though :L
pinkie has to deep strike or can pop out of units that are deep striking (and needs a 4++/3++ in combat for pinkie senses)
uh huh, uh huh, I'm liking this... maybe the mane 6 as a apoc formation rather than something in the book? I'm thinking T4 generally, I think they'd be tougher than humans to a high enough degree to justify it. And I'd like to see them live long enough to avoid getting tabled - T3, low model count, likely MSU army. Not sure about Vehicles, but I will get the bass cannon in there.

Who do we want to see as SCs?
an apoc unit would make the most sense, the T3 was more to avoid getting too close to marine stats but I can see T4 working
trixie would have to be a psyker SC and I'd like to se scratch in there as well (along with octavia). Though I would maybe limit it to only the mane six and supporting characters as if we include background ponies as well then we may have a few too many SCs :3 if you include celestia then maybe have some kind of remove from play effect (to the mooooonnahhhh)
vehicles would maybe be a problem as ponies dont really seem to have any though the plough thing in winter wrap up could maybe have some kind of dreadnought effect :?
If Celestia is on the field then Night Fighting is nullified.
Luna makes it Night Fighting (possibly similar to that Necron dudes rule, don't know exactly how his works) and her and her Royal Guard have Night Vision and double their vision roll.
Celestia, Luna and Twilight if you're putting her in as a character on her own (possibly a unique upgrade to one unicorn magic artillery unit?) have more psychic abilities than normal Unicorns/Alicorns and are able to use several in one turn (like Ahriman). Luna and Celestias horns should be force weapons which they can still use if they used a psychic power (like Typhus' Manreaper).
I think "best pony" can be an extreme nuisane ... but you at least managed to make it hugely entertaning (massive fun) while doing it.
There is no best pony, but my favourite, is actually Applejack ... i also know how insane things can become if one holds onself to absolute truth, while essentially promising things to the left and right (Last Roundup-style).
... I seem to be more like Twilight, though ....
///////////////////////////////
As for a FiM-ish Pony codex, there are several routes one may decide between, and it is essentially determined with the questions:
* What is the FiM/WH40K-ratio?
* Do we assume the characters as is, or if not, how many WH40K things are to be added?
So, are the ponies more like IG, or more like SM?
Here are some suggestions from me:
The Earth ponies are noted as the strongest and sturdiest, so they have S4 & T4.
Pegasi seems sturdy despite their assumed light wheight, but they are not as strong, normally(Yeeahh! Uh? ..... Normally, i said.) so i'd say they have S3, but i'd accept both T3 & T4.
For unicorns, i'd suggest S3 and T3, and perhaps psyker abilities, if possible, low level psyker abilities. (I'm not up-to date with the current rules for psykers).
Pinkie Pie should have hiding and infiltration abilities matching a Callidus, although she may not be that good at fighting. She may opt to attack with Initiative instead of Weapon Skill, and those attacks has NO SAVE, however, anyone "killed" by such an attack may not be counted towards Victory points. (She makes friends if possible, and if not, she use the"wabbit season"-trick on them, to make them attack themselves.)
I'd say any musically inclined characters (Vinyl Scratch, Octavia, Lyra) may be equipped with sonic weapons like those noise marines have(sorry for using "old laguage" ...) but it requires that you have taken either Pinkie Pie or Vinyl Scratch (or both).
Here's an option. Now, obviously one of the strong points of the show is the lovable characters, but a whole other thing that is adored about it is the rich world it takes place in.
Look at Fallout: Equestria for example- you could do something like that for the Pony Codex. Call it Codex: Canterlot Guard. Special Characters would be made from whole-cloth (or possibly come from supporting characters or fan-made characters- I'm thinking Shining Armour and Captain Keen-Eyes in particular) while the units would be created as though they were standard units of the "actual" Equestrian Military. Celestia, Luna and the Mane 6 would all be Apocalypse Only, simply because I can't see them taking the field unless straights were dire.
Basic Troops would consist of Earth Pony Lancers, Unicorn Archers and Pegasus Scouts. Earth Ponies would be T4, init 3 and Stubborn, with Furious Charge (if Cav don't already have that) and a 4+ save. Unicorn Archers would be T3 with a Range 18", Str3 AP5 Assault 2 weapon/Psychic Shooting Attack and a 5++ save. Pegasus Scouts would be Jetbikes, T3, Init 5 Counterattack with a 5+ Cover save, Hit and Run and Scout, but they'd be very, very expensive and come in small units.
All units would have Leadership 9 and the ability to regroup (automatically or not) at any strength if within 6 inches of an unengaged friendly unit.
Fast Attack would have a faster version of the Pegasi (move like Jetbikes, but are still Cavalry?) with the ability to do Bombing Runs. They'd also have Buffalo Ridge-Runners, which would be Infiltrating, Hit and Run, Tougher but slower Lancers. Maybe Flying Chariots as well, with Unicorn Archers or Mages on them.
Elite would have upgraded versions of each of the base 3- Iron Hooves for Earth Ponies (or Earth Pony Knights), a Unicorn Enclave of Psycher unicorns, and a wing of StormBolts, the more directly military wing of the WonderBolts.
Heavy Support would have Buffalo Auxiliaries, Chariots, and some form of artillery- Equestria has Cannon, so Bombards of some form wouldn't be out of the question. Maybe also a version of Heavy Psychers, Unicorns dedicated to battlefield control and manipulation of the elements (and I mean literal battlefield control- making trees fall on enemies, earthquakes, re-routing rivers, all that stuff). Also Military Weather Control, creating storms, tornadoes, lighting (this would be another unit).
HQs would be Equestrian Guard Commanders, starting as Earth Ponies with good armour- but they can be 'upgraded' to Unicorns or Pegasi (maybe losing Toughness or something) Special Characters would include better versions of each 'branch' and Type of Pony.
Upgrades are pretty straightforward, though I'm thinking that each squad 'leader' upgrade should have something like Cryptek options- not as powerful, of course, but that sort of versatility.
Cost would be somewhere around Necron, I think. They're not "Supersoldiers" able to take 5 models and wreck an army, but they're not "Send in the Next Wave" fighters either.
WS across the board (aside from some HQ and Special Characters) would only be 3, however. Ponies aren't violent by nature.
Normally I don't have a best pony, I love all of them equally. But I think Rarity has one of the most entertaining and deepest characters (that's if I must choose a best pony, It's extremely difficult to pick a favourite from the mane 6, they're all great characters).
Alright, that's some great input. I now have a good amount of ideas on a notepad to work with. The only exception I'm going to say about right now is Anvildude's suggestion that the mane 6+ Celestia are Apoc only. As much as it makes sense, I know a lot of us would like to take them without having to go to such extremes. Besides, apoc style power only comes out when they break out the elements.

Ah yes, one of the happy few people unaware of the "Cupcakes" fanfic.
Long story short, "Cupcakes" is a dark fanfic in which Pinkie intends to make, well, cupcakes with Rainbow Dash as the main ingredient...
If you know that, the video is hilarious enough. If you don´t, it´s not really worth it to look it up though.
i tend to stay on the lighter side of things and dont stray beyond fallout equestria, did read a little of chapter 20.5 but it made me vomit so i stopped reading
It's about a panel of voice-actors at comic-con adapting scenes from Star Wars: A New Hope into an audio play utilising various voices of the different characters they do. For Bronies' amusement, Tara Strong does Han Solo as Twilight Sparkle going up against Billy West's Tony Soprano Greedo.

i did read through FOE but i hardly noticed through the entire thing that it was ponies because i was playing FO3 at the same time and it all kind of became one blur of raider head exploding goodness. but i REALY dont like this dark side of ponys and R34 and shipping shold go to hell as it is NOT cool
I'm working on converting a coworker into the herd. He's into new age stuff and adores Game of Thrones and is open to giving FIM a try. I've recommended he watch Over a Barrel. Any other things you think I should tell him or try out?
I'd say that after a few other episodes, Bridle Gossip is a good'n.
Also, I returned from the London MCM Expo/ Comic-con with a Cryx Battlegroup, and a Necron Canoptek Spyder. But then we get to the fun stuff: 5 Blind bags, £20 worth of pony badges, which now adorn my school blazer, and a set with Applebloom and Sweetie Belle (in Brushmane). I also met Tomska (asdfmovies), and found out The Living Tombstone's name.
The Flim-Flam, cosplay was a big hit, we were filmed singing the song twice, and got a lot of calls and photos. Also, the bronies there banded together and formed a small meetup outside the convention, at which we did a lot of singing, particularly all lining up, hands over shoulders, and singing the Smile song, and a girl cosplaying as Discord who sung "Discord" by eurobeat brony.

they do pony badges o.O *squeeeeeee*
glad to hear you had an awesome time ^_^ I should really go to one of these in future by the sounds of it :3

They weren't official badges, but the amount of fan made pony stuff there is brilliant, and I managed to get a couple of keychains too.
There's another one in late October if you're interested.
GD meet up, I'm bringing a non brony friend, but he said he will be polite and courteous. So if you guys are cool with that then he's cool with it I guess.
Second thing is what do you guys want to see in the codex as far as obscure units go? The allies route has been discussed, but past that I'm a little short of ideas. Troops and HQs I have enough ideas for. Do you want to see some kind of armoured unit? upgraded versions of troops fro elites seems like a bit of a cop out, not to mention lazy. So, what else do you want to see?
Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000as heavy support,
Canterlot Guard as elites (options for each different type, eg. Luna guards, Night guard Unicorns, Unicorns and Pegasi)
That huge airship in Canterlot as heavy support maybe?
Guard Sky Chariot as fast attack/Transport
Bass/Party cannon as Heavy
Hot air Baloons as Fast
Pinkie as a lone wolf Elite
Unicorn Devastators as heavy
Pegasi Jump infantry as fast
character units like lyra and bon bon
The big question is what do you want to do with this army? Fan-based, with things like the Bass Cannon, Doctor Whooves, etc? Pure show, so only what's been on screen? Equestria as a modernized military, or as a Feudal monarchy?
And here's a thought for Heavy Support- Dragons. Strength 7 AP3 flame template Monstrous Creature that has a 12" move.

this....make this happen
also, no problems with non bronies from me ^_^ (if you want him converting just say the word )
A 1+ on pony units may or may not happen. As for the dragon, well... We'll see.
And no, the conversion won't be necessary. I'm kinda worried you'll turn up out of nowhere ninja style and throw DVDs in his face screaming "watch it!" over and over now...

I hope you actually read this:
Thank you for your effort.
However, those ponies a none of the ponies that resulted in the Brony Fandom.
You see, the brony fandom arose from the two last seasons of my little pony, the seasons which are subtitled "Friendship is magic". Yes, i know it sounds cheesy
The ponies on those stickers are fom earlier seasons, also called "earlier generations", before the series got the massive make-over, that made it interesting for those who became bronies as well.
Most of those earlier generation seasons are defined as utter rubbish, even by most bronies.
But still, thank you for your effort of posting it here, despite you hating it.

Yeah I guessed that much since the characters in episodes I watch didn't look like the ones on the stickers.
Makarov, you are a good guy.You don't like the ponies, but you post stuff for us to enjoy. I find that admirable.
In other news, does anyone follow the "Ask Jappleack" blog on tumblr? It's a continuation of the story of Jappleack from APPLE.MOV, but it gets surprisingly emotional after what happens in SHED.MOV. It's a surprisingly touching story, and interesting to see that Hotdiggedydemon can actually do emotional.
The .MOVs are the twisted parallel universe of MLP. Not to say it's bad thing, but it's the same as cupcakes in that you don't associate it with the actual show.

I would put the word "hilarious" in between "the" and "twisted" but otherwise this.
The comics actually play on the idea of it being a twisted different universe, and plays on the idea of how each piece of fan generated content is a universe different to the actual show. I'm not really a fan of the .MOV series, but this comic blew my mind.
Don't get e wrong, I like the .MOVs, they're just unassociated with the actual show as far as I'm concerned. Like if my version of 40K still had the Emperor kickin' Xeno butt Duke Nukem style. Hilarious, but not canon.
the whole GD thig is just so awesome, one of the guys at my local GW came up with the ide of going as IG penal legion that sounds pretty cool i might have a go at doing that but chances are i will be in the line to make myself poor at forgeworld. for some reason i have the overwhelming urge to buy a rediculous amount of tau battle suits or nurgly bits. might well show up with some sort of prop weapon and have a little fun with it. will most likley be bringing a 1000 point 40k and fantasy force with me but i have no clue what is going on as i have never been to anything like this before.

I know what's going on with some LOTR stuff as my local GW store manager is involved in organising it. Huge linked tables starting with the gates of Moria and the lake outside, then through the Dwarrowdelf, stopping off in Balin's Tomb and finally across the Bridge of Khazad Dum.
similar thing at my local store but were doing some fantasy VC's but nothings realy been done about that i also hope for something like this to be done with 40k but since we all know 6th ed is coming there might be a realy big 40k showing there

Looked it up and read thru the whole seven month back log of posts tonight at work. Really does hit a pretty big paradin shift right before Shed doesnt it? I'm curious where it goes so I've added it to my Follow list. Over 200 Followed blogs on Tumblr...
Funny thing is, I didn't liked the .MOV videos (I was never a fan of Ren and Stimpy), but the tumblr is quite bearable, and I do look forward to see where it goes now.
Speaking of Tumblr and the 200+ blogs I follow, a second blog has answered one of my "dance" questions, Epic Rainbow Dash. Made a cool little gif of it too!

That's pretty damn awesome. I'm still surprised at how few cosplays I've seen of background characters like the Flim Flam brothers or Doctor Whooves. Though, I suppose a cosplay of Whooves would be the same as a cosplay of the actual Doctor.
Slow forum is slow. Anypony got something interesting to say?
Well, the new shinypony blind bags are apparently out along with trixie and lyra dolls (reaaaaaaally want the trixie one) but other than that I got nothing XD
Something to get everypony talking, is there anthing you would like to see a parody of in season 3 (any thing from films, books etc) ?
I want a "Revenge of Trixie" type episode, day in the life of Celestia and Luna kind of thing, day in the life of Scootaloo, Pie family reunion. One of my favorite episodes of Bab5 was one that centered on and followed two random crew who had no part in the show before as they went about their day and periodically bumped into main cast members. Do something like that with the Flower Trio or some other couple of background ponies.
Also, we need a video of your performance if someone recorded it.
Don't know if I care about getting any more toys. Got the McD ones that I can hang off of stuff, the blind bag mane6 that will sit on top of my monitor and some other random blind bag ponies that I need to get around to turning into Warmachine terrain for the FLGS. If I get anything else, I think it would be one of Egophiliac's crochet plush ponies if/when she starts taking commissions and get a crochet Pinkie plush.
Got an idea brewing my self for a kahdor "new lunar republic" force with a lunaized sorcha and a purple color scheme, the khador logos replaced with lunas cutie mark and a unit of night guard demo korps for a start. but that might be a long while coming as i have some cryx that i want a 25 point force of
I've also got plans for a NLR Khador force. Also plan to file off the Khador symbols, but rather than the cutie mark I'm going to use the NLR banner to replace them. Want to base the color scheme off of season one Luna, so deepish blues and teals. I do want to do a Trixie Zerkova as well. Don't want to put an actual Luna in, except I might make a custom Objective out of a blind bag Pegasus converted into a Luna statue on a pillar.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Oh, and it's also been delayed because I'm distracted by my Cryx.
i had no idea that anyone else had this idea but to be fair the design of khador kind of led me to doing this and i also saw a picture of luna being verry Sorchaish so it kind of clicked for me then, it will be cool to see what each of us come up with later, now i want to see someone do a celestia, discord or chrysalis force so we have someone to fight against.
yeah there will be no problem getting to 150 as this is the most awesome page ever, sometimes it gets a little slow but someone will chime up with something

Hopefully they'll give a nod to the "she's a pony" song XD
That would be brilliant. And damn, I totally forgot about that terminator reference (probably due to me being overwhelmed with MGS references). But yes, pirates, lots of piratey goodness.
Speaking of Pirates, who's read any fanfics? MyStara's Little Pony is brilliant, and features (in later chapters) the Dread Pirate Lunnette.
I've unfortunately gone on a TVTropes Rec trawl, and so now have a dozen different Equestrian fics open. I'm also reading through the Dresden Files before venturing into the realm of My Little Denarians.
I'm waitin for My Little Denarians to finish before reading that. The prequel for it was Awesome. Good Pinkie Pie writing really makes a good story, and his is Really good.
Yes, i have another question that might be interesting ... or not.
... And yes, it stems from me not really knowing what to do, currently ...
So here it is:
Which WH40K-character and /or troops would you like to see "Ponyfied"?
... I just might try to make it and put it into my GameProject ...
You may suggest things from other wargames, too, but i'd appreciate a link or picture in those cases ... if possible.

I wouldnt mind seeing el-deer in there if you have the time XD as for ponyfing stuff I've always though changelings would make good thousand sons lol
The problem with things like this is always that the hassle with the IP has to be worth it.
With stuff like Star Wars or Harry Potter it´s worth it for Lego to go through the whole licensing thing. MLP is sadly not certain enough to be worth it as it seems.

They're all posted further back in this thread. I've got a My Little Necron (Not quite the Neko-ron, but close) in my Gallery, and I think I might have another.
Here's a new youtube thing from me, on a specific part of my project:
The "Dollhouse":
(Sorry for the (almost?) full minute where nothing happens except that Derpy and Applejack might be ... talking?
Looking great Tiina Brown! Only thing that bugs me slightly is that the heads of ponies appear slightly too tall, particularly that of Derpy. But great work nonetheless.

I find a many on UK of Equestria, the UK meetup site. That said, of the two I've been to, one I bumped into randomly when on a day trip to Exeter, the other was at the MCM expo was arranged on the day. With any luck I'll be going to one in Hyde Park (in London) on 30th of June.
Only one brony meet up here, poorly planed, executed worse, so when I was there (in a public place) took me forever to find 'em, and after 15' I was bored, stood another 20' or so before taking my leave.
Oh, I didn't notice how convenient that was until you mentioned it. That's rather convenient!
Automatically Appended Next Post: By the way, has anyone seen Prometheus? I watched it today, and had the idea of ponifying it into a grim-dark style fanfic, but with elements of comedy to avoid to much horror. So, Ponytheus: good idea?
I had a go at writing a prologue based on the first scene, which you can find over here: http://serpentlotus.deviantart.com/#/d52r69x WARNING! SPOILERS! (for those yet to see Prometheus)

When is season 3 due again?
its pretty basic. you set up a race track on a table, then grab a bike (or pony). you have 15 or so PTS to put onto each stat (WS,BS,S,T,SV) and you can pick a few upgrades like gear shift, oil slick, turbo boost etc. and have an option of a light, medium or heavy weapon and gun (size is relevent to amount of shots and strength so a light gun does 3 shots at S3 and a heavy does 1 shot at s5) you then race round the table changing gears and rolling to change angles (gear 1 is 4" and gear 6 is 24") with each roll being harder depending on how fast your going. one of my mates made it up, it's pretty damn fun XD
also, cant wait for season 3 and it times up perfectly with GD /)^3^(\

I'll PM you a full set of the rules if I can get hold of them
Ok, i have no idea how many have already seen this, but someone just showed it to me, and when i came to the crossover-pictures below, i knew i had to show it to you, even if you already have seen them ...
Ok, Warnings:
* It contains harsh, perhaps even rude language, and bashes both MLP - haters and bronies alike.
* If you are underage, do not look at the last picture in the gallery below, because there is essentially a kind of "Hentai-Pony" there ... it is thankfully not in action, though.
* Do not venture further, than looking at the gallery pictures .... unless you are already familiar to 4chan.
* It is a page from a 4chan-wiki ......

that picture is realy epic, but once ive decided on what exactly my cutiemark is (i have narrowed it down to computers and hammers) i will get my friendly neighburhood pony maker to get me one in power armor. it is definatly a unicorn though and is almost certainly green or red
has anyone else heared about this baloon party album? its free (if your that way inclined) and has some pretty good music on it, its something like 35 tracks and you can donate to the album so that the artists can afford to go to the brony con, i would highly recomend donating as the music is fairly awesome and is well worth the money

you can also get free pony music on iTunes if you go into the podcast section. I'll post links when I'm less tired
I listened to a chunk of the Balloon Party until it started to lag too bad on my phone. Several tracks on it are on the playlists of several of the people I follow on Soundcloud, which is my prefered method of listening to pony music at the moment.
i do belive there is a PC port of the first blazblue but there are definatly versions on the PSP. also the game is totaly bad ass and just about the most fun on the current generation of consoles.
What kind of anime fighting game? Mortal Kombat/ Tekken/ Street Fighter style or Star Wars episode 3 style (run, stab guy with lightsaber, rinse, repeat)?
Oh, and I preferred your old avatar (the Vinyl Scratch one)
I wish I could go to the con, but luckily I know where to buy it, it's going on sale on the official website soon after the con (I expect it'll sell out faster than anything else Hasbro have ever made). My parents gave me odd looks when I told them what I wanted for my 16th birthday...
I would absolutely love a link if you can spare it. Derpy was the reason I watched MLP in the first place, so she sort of holds onto the Best Pony title by default...
(Read in the voice of David Attenborough) And here you can see the wild Pinkie swinging the chicken in order to break its neck. After that the feast will begin.

liquidjoshi, its pretty much mostly combo based but there's a lot of room for your own fighting style. I'd recomend playing it ^_^ and yeah the scratch one was cool but this ones adorable and I'm in a rainbow dash loving phase :3
Yes, I think it identifies the main points of the most commonly asked question about us as a community in a well thought out and evaluative and relatively concise way. he point about people liking the fanbase more was interesting, not sure what to make of it.

Sadly I can't bring all my modeling and painti g stuff to work at the account I'm at now, but a notepad and pencils are totally legit. The site I watch anime on was offline so I finally broke the afore mentioned art supplies out again and messed around. You can check out what I spent my work hours on HERE.

Yeah, our fanbase and show are the best
I don't really do much with the fanbase; this is where I'm most involved with it. The show though is one of the only actual TV shows I watch anymore, even though I only watch it on youtube.
And that's some pretty cool stuff Aduro. Better than what I do all day (Sit there thinking to myself, Freeman's mind style.)

Norway actually. A twisted half breed of horse and reindeer. The reidnster horse is known for it small size and generally friendly attitude. Its especially tasty and sought after by wolves, foxes, and BADGER DOGs, who will wolfpack unsuspecting herds of them, slaughtering wantonly and savoring their sweet, delectable carcasses.
And why my I ask, do you assume that the death of hoofed animals would be of any interest to us, specifically the topic of the thread is My little Pony. I can assume that you are not trying to raise this topic to interest us, but merely to offend us. Why are you doing so?
Also, I don't think chopped up My Little Pony would be good for a dog's health, plastic toys aren't the most digestible of foods.
i dont realy know, plastic never stopped my dog but this is the same dog that jumps down stairs and runs into walls for the fun of it. (i may have a defective dog)
there is no way that the people on this forum fould find it an interesting turn of conversation let alone find it apropriate as a statement.
The one where the Cutie Mark Crusaders are working on a gossip column.
Just finished the Wedding.
So I enjoy the show and will watch the next season when it comes out, but I'm disappointed that
Spoiler:
they have yet to show Princess Celestia( or Princess Luna for that matter) curb stomp any of the Big Bads to come across so far. I thought I would have my wish come true during the wedding when she fought the Changling queen, but no...She got beat down. Not a major complaint, but for someone as powerful as her to just be worfed on the last episode of the Series(so far) is just disappointing.
I think that was less a comment on Celestia not being strong enough, and more that the Power of Love (tm) between Shining Armour and Cadenza was more powerful.
Actually pretty well done, really. Especially how Chrysalis herself was surprised at the win.
You have no reason to want to offend us. Also, that is the wrong pony, and if that's an animal cruelty image, you are likely to be getting a warning from the mods.

That is indeed a good one. I'm amazed at how much animation they managed with the General's Pony Creator. It's also my favorite song of the show. It only beats out Aria because of my Pinkie bias.

ummm ....I mean....if thats ok with you.......sorry :3
But it's the heavy population of consumer whores that means we have tons of stores selling all kinds of crap, like aisles Full of nothing but the ponies as far as the eye can see!
Hmmmmm... Maybe I should take a picture of it to show you all. =D
And now I pause the trolling for a moment of self promotion and narcissism. I've been super productive art wise the last 48 hours at work and have added a bunch more fan art and other drawings on MY TUMBLR , now even in full color!

It took me about a day to do it. And a lot of rare candies, but now Mr Derp owes me ponies XD He's know for making stupid bets.

Sunkern only evolves by Sun stone(So you can have it hold an Evolite for better defenses) and has a lower BST than Caterpie and Weedle. Ctaerpie and weedle have BST of 195. Sunkern's BST is 180, Which IIRC is the lowest of any pokemon.
Meh, I went flat out marty sue with mine. Mat Ward would be proud Ok, maybe not complete and utter Marty sue on that scale, but I still think it's a bit OP. Potentially, still working on backstory. Everyone else managed to make theirs believable though, Which is good to see.
Ok, a couple of suggestions for a name... hmm... let's see... Bellus: based on your name, it's also the name of a Blood Angels ship in the BA omnibus. Might be a bit outlandish though. Something to do with dice, maybe snakes (reference to snake eyes), Boxes/ box/ boxy/ any damn variety on that (boxcars, and of the MEHTUL variety), or simply your online handle could work. That's what I did anyway. I even have a couple of character names left over, but that's irrelevant. There isn't really a great secret to picking a name. It doesn't have to reflect anything, just so long as you like it.
Oh, and thanks for that lur_tau-mont. I'll see if he goes for it again, but I doubt he will. He might not be that easy to trick again.

Magikarp. That takes some real hard work.

liquidjoshi, unfortunatly snake eyes would be rather appropriate based off my last two games :/
I know that feel, I can't seem to do anything useful if my army includes a GKSS. I've single-handedly proved they are not cheese in my last few games. But I did the LV 100 thing with a caterpie, so I doubt a Magikarp is out of my reach. I have one that's level 24 anyway...
I have no clue what all that Pokemon terminology means... I got I Think two gym badges in I Think Pearl? I'm not even fully sure what version of the game I own!

EDIT: Nearly at page 150...
Last pokemon tidbit for a while: Magikarp is better than Catepie.
Caterpie has 2 attacking Moves, One of which he gets STAB from (bug Bite) The other is tackle.
Magikarp gets Bounce, which has over 60 Base Power and since it's a flying move, is Super Effective on Bugs.
I did the Calcs for Caterpie Vs Magikarp. Both at Level 100.
Choice Band Adamant Magikarp bounce with 252 attack EVs against Bulky Bold Caterpie(252 HP EVs and 252 Defense EVs): 130 - 154 Damage(44.2% - 52.4%)
Choice Band Adamant Caterpie Bug bite with 252 attack Evs against Bulky Bold Magikarp(252 HP EVs and 252 Defense Evs) 75 - 88 Damage (30.7% - 36.1%)
Now Choice band set Vs Choice Band Set: Magikarp would go First due to his 85 base Speed (compared to Caterpie's 45 base Speed)
Choice band Adamant Magikarp Bounce with 252 attack EVs against Choice band adamant Caterpie with 252 attack Evs: 226 - 266 (97.8% - 115.2%) Almost an guaranteed OHKO, definate 2HKO assuming no misses.
If Caterpie lives(or if Bounce, with it's 85% accuracy, missed):
Choice band Adamant Caterpie Bug Bite with 252 attack EVs against Choice band adamant Magikarp with 252 attack Evs: 117 - 138 (64.6% - 76.2%) Would be a 2HKO.
Caterpie could get the first attack if it had a Choice Scarf and 252 EVs in Speed as well as attack, but would only do 78 - 93 (43.1% - 51.4%) damage. Without the Choice band, Caterpie loses out on too much attack to even guarantee a 2HKO.
Indeed! Now I just need some questions to draw up Monday night. I've got my tumblr bot question, but not the one I was hoping for. May have to see if I can find images of more of the tumblr bot questions so I can answer those as well.
My siste said this today, Her friend is a brony, and a 40k player.
"There must be some corralation between men who like models and mend who like ponies, because both of you do"
I said
"Both make home on the internet so they cross"

Plastic chewy ponies are excellent for doggie entertainment. Rusty the tank has destoryed plastic toys in less than 8 seconds. I'd give him ten for a pony of moderate size.
I think the important question is though, would ponies with multi tinted hair be considered some form of animal abuse? Whats do you have against the natural of you know - REAL ponies? Having said that horses are dumber than a box of rocks. Are Little Ponies smarter than your average horse? Can you ride a magic pony? Would riding a magic pony be likewise be considered a form of animal abuse?
Frazzled, you do not appear to be a brony, nor are you trying to raise topics that would interest us. Jumping onto a pony thread by talking about horse meat is not exactly welcome. The Mods have already said that trolling is AGAINST THE DAKKA RULES, so you should be inclined to stop, unless you do actually like the whimsical adventures of Twilight Sparkle and friends, in which case you're welcome to stay. Otherwise, would you mind leaving us be?
.....
Now to my own regular egocentricity:
I plan to make a mini-movie wit my own project as an aid.
Do anyone have suggestion on what i should do it about?
If you haven't seen it yet, here is some more of what i can do:

Whats fun about the OT is that threads are not an exclusive club. I am following the forum rules for being on topic (discussing little ponies and friendship is magic); and not being rude in my posts. I apologize if that disturbs you, but dem's da rules. After all, without those rtules in place, other posters could hammer bronies for intruding on their threads, and that is silly.
Now, back to the topic. Why exactly do they have non-natural colors again? How do my little pony marines relate to the epic Angry Cow marines of 3rd edition?
liquidjoshi wrote:Well Frazzled, to answer your questions: 1) God made them that way.
Why? Its not supportable on an evolutionary basis. Purple and gentle pastels don't work well against a pack of killer wiener dogs. Speaking of, how do they survive against roving packs of killer wiener dogs? If their defensive power is "friendship" then they're truly done for. Wiener dogs are epically crotchety and unfriendly. Maybe they survive on numbers - producing more bronies than wiener dogs can eat in a given period of time? But if you're survival as a species is based purely on numbers, wouldn't that be a bit of a downer, and drag down the whole cheerful friendly bronie thing? I mean if I knew that of the 10,000 magical little ponies, 9,999 of them, including me were going to be chased down and eaten by six in tall dogs with reallly bad breath, I wouldn't be magical, nor particularly friendly.
Sorry Frazzled, I was being a little silly. You're welcome to be talking about ponies with us, just don't go into any madly gory details. Otherwise, I'm happy for you to be here.
No hard feelings?
Anyhow, as the discussion was going, I think that although Wieners are voracious predators, the ponies of Equestria have long guarded their borders. They do fight off an army of Changelings in the season 2 finale for example. The magic of friendship is really about the power they can get from each other's qualities. The Elements of Harmony for example, are a Magic weapon which can only be wielded by the avatars of each aspect of friendship; Loyalty, Honesty, Kindness, Generosity, Laughter and Magic. With the Elements, the main cast have managed todefeat a chaos god, and the dark side of one of their rulers.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Also guys, this may be fake, it was up on My Little Brony, but I've seen it elsewhere. But if this is real, well, season 3's going to be exciting, isn't it...
Ponies are totally an example of evolution. Anything they can't fend off with the adorableness that theyve perfected thru the generations, they deal with via extremely powerful magic. One unicorn was single hoofedly able to defeat an Ursa Minor, aka a bear bigger than your house. Another was able to defeat a pack of Diamond Dogs, a good parallel to your weenies, with the sheer power of her whining.

Spoiler:
You have to respect a horse that can stop a bear of any type.

Spike- Wings
Scootaloo- Flying
damn I hope that is real ^^ though it'll be interesting as to how spike gets his wings :?
I don't know how they're going to work spike getting wings, or in fact the way dragons grow. As we saw in Secret of my Excess, dragons grow with greed, but no wings throughout that growth. They may instead be based on age.
And Scootaloo flying... Didn't a lot of fans have the idea that she had some flight disability or something similar? I wonder if this'll make a few fan-fics obsolete...

yeah it'll be interesting, I think it was because scoot has smaller wings than normal :? maybe it'll be a generic *overcoming your disabilities* style episode :3 as for spike.......I have no ideas XD
Faust has said the reason Scoots can't fly is that she simply hasn't figured it out yet. And for Spike I'll just go with Greed Growth does not equal normal aging and growth.

awesome find, thanks for sharing XD
Now it's somewhat easier to find good brony music.
