    You should probably grab the first one, well, first. Personally, I'm a big fan of Apocalypse as well, but I'm not entirely certain it runs very well on more modern Operating Systems, my version won't run on Windows 7 without getting some freaky color issues. Avoid Terror From The Deep at first, but give it a try post-UFO Defense. Also, avoid Enforcer and Interceptor unless you're really curious. If you want all of them at once though, I'm pretty certain you can find a collection of all five on Steam or Amazon.

    As for your second question, yes, Apocalypse and UFO Defense are both great games. Terror From The Deep is basically a slightly modified clone of UFO Defense except with the difficulty taken to insane levels, and Enforcer and Interceptor never happened. Do be warned that the original and TFTD have terrible combat interfaces, so find some sort of manual on the interwebs first so you know which buttons do what. Also, you should know that the Big Three as a whole are quite difficult, something the series is (in)famous for. Although they become somewhat easier once you get access to the game-breaking psychic powers.

    There is a *ejem*torr-ent*ejem* out there that has all the games.
    Start downloading it.
    Configure the download just to get Enemy Unknown, once its finished let it download the rest.
    Read a little on how to play.
    Enjoy one of the best games ever. (Seriously for that era the game has an incredible depth to it).

    Balmas For you OC information, the picture is the seapony right? Or is there a picture you'd rather have.

    Bleakbane (that's spelled correctly, right?) since I can imagine you'll be mentioned, by someone whether an asker in an answer, would you like an entry on the cast page.
    Since it's been mentioned, BlasTech too.

    Thanqol, Do you have a picture for Charger, preferably without a background.

    Rebel Hero, can you get some pictures of your other two OCs with cutie marks in place?

    Zigg'rrauglurr (thank god I have a copy-paste of that saved) does your OC share names too?

    Beyond these small notes, the Cast page is up. If you were on that OC list thingy, you're on it.

    My OC/Ponysona is called Magnus (for the sake of pony tongues everywhere). I don't have a last name yet, although I take suggestions.
    Somewhat in topic, I repeat the question are the elements of Console/Command Prompt or Tulpa/Multiple personalities taken? If one is free I would like to claim said element.
    Also you can shorten Zigg'rrauglurr to Ziggie, I have always done that.

    This is a funny thing:

    When I'm writing a short story for a serious anthology contest, it takes me weeks, it's like drawing blood and then much later like making wonders, and at the end of it I've only got nearly four thousand words.

    When I'm writing a story about the royal sisters, it takes me three days to get to the same point, and yet it still felt like both drawing blood and making wonder.

    It's probably not ready if I can't think up five words to describe it, right? What do you guys think, should I add more chapters before I try to submit? What words would you use to describe it?

    The attribution tag is attached to the first part of the dialogue, which terminated in strong punctuation. This in itself is fine, but the tag should end in a full stop as a result, not a comma.

    Dialogue attribution tags following the dialogue that they're attached to should begin with a lowercase letter.*

    I'll leave aside en dashes and spaces as a style difference, but the action in the middle is not an attribution tag, and it should have a full stop instead of a comma.*

    >“Just get in here!” She cried desperately.

    Same as before. Attribution tags following the dialogue that they're attached to should begin with a lowercase letter.*

    >“You’re stuck!” said Bon Bon, mind reeling with the horror of it, “Security could

    As before, the tag is attached to dialogue that ends in strong punctuation, and so the tag should end in a full stop, not a comma.

    >“This is because you can’t lay off the shakes!” Bon Bon accused, “You’re getting fat in the flank!”

    This one's ambiguous, as it's not clear whether the tag is attached to the first section of dialogue or the second, but it's worth noting (though it doesn't count against you, as it isn't wrong, exactly).

    >“It’s summer.” Hissed Bon Bon.

    Dialogue with an attribution tag following it should end in... not a full stop. Almost anything but a full stop, in fact. At the same time, the tag should begin with a lowercase letter when it follows the dialogue it's attached to.


    And all this left one burning question in my mind.

    What the buck is an attribution tag?

    In all my years of schooling and four years of a university creative writing degree I have never heard the term 'attribution tag' before in my life. I'm not sure if this is a hole in my education or just a thing that doesn't happen in Australia.*

    Could somepony here explain it to me in words I can comprehend? And better, could somepony with an eye for it scan my story for misuses? If this is something I'm apparently doing wrong all the time I'd really like to know about it and fix it.
    Fascinating.
    Okay, so an attribution tag seems to be as was said, a descriptor which attributes prior speech to an individual.

    How it works, is that (apparently) the attribution tag itself is part of the previous dialogue as far as sentence structure goes. So
    "blalalalala, y'know?" she said
    Is one sentence. Since its one sentence, there shouldn't be any random capitalization in the middle. And adding more dialogue via a comma is splicing sentences (even though it's a commonly used bit).

    However, even after crashing through as much grammar stuff as I could in high school, given that 90% Of my class couldn't differentiate between a noun and a verb, I have never before come across such a term.

    Mostly I'm elated because I've down the last month wondering what the rules were for capitalizing after dialogue, and whether a period or comma should follow. I know now! Yay!

    It's understandably a creepy thing. If it helps, consider your mind (the full thing, brain and all) as you, and your personality is the main OS. It's possible to run little programs like NPCs, stories, fake memories, etc., and it's also possible to have alternate OSs lying around, sort of tabbed over and running their own processes. Up until they go viral, Reboot! Style, they're still "you" as you're defined by hardware, not software.

    Ouch. Those things are vicious.
    And I would swear they have teeth.

    Are they notable in the community for anything? At least one of those names sounds familiar.
    Well, I can't do the story justice at all. But from memory;
    Metacritter originally won a small auction for Faust's Twilight Sparkle sketch. Before any turnaround, he called the seller and said "hey, can I turn this in or auction again, and use the proceeds for charity?"
    The seller agreed, and they contacted Lauren. By the time the auction went live, she had added in two additional sketches - and drew a Derpy Hooves just for the auction.
    I believe they pulled in like, 17k. I also know at least one of the auction winners did the same thing, re-selling the piece or charity.

    It's an aquired taste, I guess.
    Probably.

    Speaking of acquired tastes, I've got a heapin' hankerin' for some cider! Sweet Sisters that stuff was GOOD.

    Not a clue.
    Hm. *Okie doke, we can help. What does the card look like? Dimensions, plug, etc.

    I've had people insulting and bullying me as long as I can remember. Perhaps it wouldn't have stuck if I was violent about it. Then again, I'm not exactly tough.
    Me, too. It's easy; I'm skinny and cerebral. It's an attitude thing I suppose. In which case is say just let it roll off you like water from a duck. The personal changes needed to he people to leave you alone are easiest to acquire by becoming someone you don't want to.

    Planned Obsolescence of apples? They do go bad, but I don't think that's planned.

    Bear in mind that I wasn't making a joke about the actual Apple company or anything. I just felt that Apple Corp was a clever name.
    Aha. Here I thought apple corps was a typo. I agree, that pretty neat.

    I suppose the Apple Corps is the Ponyville NationalRegional Guard, then.

    Don't be like that. Note that Thanqol, Raz_Fox and PhoeKun are all working towards being professional writers, making a living thereby. You don't need to worry unless you want the story spread across the universe; but the key is to write for fun.

    Technically, D&D would use d6s, but not predominantly.

    Although I suppose the problem is I don't even know how to run a game for ponies. I'm apparently too dark-tinted and action packed.

    [auote]I must admit here that unlike my more gifted compatriots I'm not one of those gamers who can look at a rules set and immediately envision all the implications; I have to play with it a while.

    In evaluating an MLP game my thought process is likely to meander in this fashion:

    1) Is this an actual game, or is it one of those Make **** Up things? Because I can Make **** Up without having to bother with some piece of crap that hasn't even been properly play-tested.

    2) How stupid is it to run an earth pony in this game?

    3) Is unicorn magic handled in a way that looks enough like the show that I can use it without wondering why I bothered to use an MLP game instead of just writing my own guidelines for some toolkit game like M&M or BESM?

    4) Is there any potential for non-pony PCs? Because the odds of my getting to run a pony game with my group are already miniscule, and if I can't at least make griffon PCs available they drop to near zero.

    -- for what it's worth.[/QUOTE]

    Hmmmm. #4 is definitely something I've been looking at, with a side of #2. I think I might try for a Pony Tales game in the near future. I remember Second Hand being an earth pony, and basically being a Beast, Big McIntosh style.

    #1, I'm no quite sure to what extent you mean. #3, well, that's probably really important and I've just never looked ^.^"

    As for dialog[ue] rules, US English uses the following as standard:
    "Words," Name said. "More words."
    Outside of the US, I imagine that the only difference is moving the comma outside of the quotes like so:
    "Words", Name said. "More words."
    Fancier stuff:
    "Words?" asked Name. "More words!"
    Name said, "This quote is going
    "to spill over onto two lines."
    But it's never either of
    "Words," said Name, "More words."
    "Words." said Name.

    All if I recall correctly, of course. I think the last time I went over these was two years ago or thereabouts.

    You can call me anything. I've been called Inkin, Nono, INo, Names, and NoKnow so far.

    As of 7/20, I've gotten help in trying to get past a physical addiction that's been eating at my time, and finished recovering from a spot of trouble that ended up eeking into Self-Harm. I'm doing better now; here's hoping it lasts a bit longer...

    I'm mostly hating on the games that boil down to "describe your character, and then, like, roll some dice, man." except they take fifty pages to say it, and they provide no clues as to what a reasonable description is in terms of either detail or power level. Screw that.

    Ponysane. The closest definition to it, means that, we are... mostly sane by normal standards, but we can get pretty crazy in the PonyThread, and when it's related to Ponies or similar stuff. But we are not that close to "Cupcakes" level of crazy. Somewhat clearer?

    One would think that. But One would also say that crazy people think, maybe not in the same manner that sane people does. Thinking only shows that you are sentient enough to think. It doesn't say anything about your craziness level.

    Well, yeah, you missed one interesting conversation on Tulpas, some answers being answered on the tumblr, and our writers fighting with byzantine language rules.
    Buuuuuut, regarding your question, I'm pretty sure that Luka is speaking about being entered in the OC list in the tumblr, therefore being included in the Ponythread list as a non-brony (exception) or as a brony.

    Not yet. Until you reach the first 2 episodes of second season, lovable character, voiced by the actor of Q in StarTrek: The next generation. The fandom loves the character and the actor quite a bit.

    Those people aren't insane. Those people are ****ed up. There's a difference between being tweaked in the head, and being so tweaked you make the tweaked people uncomfortable. I got to a part in the series when Pinkie Pie started singing about Cupcakes. I wasn't quite finished being disturbed yet, and started crying and convulsing...

    But if you think you are crazy, you aren't! Even if you'e 99.99% crazy, there's still .01% that is sane! And that's enough to avoid the White Jackets! And they are ichy! ... or so I assume.

    You mean, watching the cartoon, the original series, the "Making cupcakes" song caused that reaction because of your exposure to the fanimation of cupcakes?

    I think you need at least a 40% sanity to bypass the craziness radars. And if you are over a 10% crazy they can put the jacket on you, if they truly want to...

    Have you seen the 2 first animations?

    I 'spose, I ought, at that.

    I'll try and write something shortly-ish (and locate a link to the original of my current avatar, as that's as good a picture as any if needed). Might not be immediately, though, since I'm runnin' a game tomorrow (corrupting my young cousins from Austrailia with their first taste of D&D. After corrupting them with a headstart a couple of years back with Aotrs-version HeroQuest.)

    Prod me if I don't remember and put something up in the next couple of days.



    Incidently, those same cousins are part of the family Mum went to visit in January, y'know, when she ended up in hospital. Now they've come over here for a week or two. (They came up Thursday.) And my sister's fiance went into hospital yesterday to have his appendix out...

    The mind boggles...

    I'm an Action Series kinda guy. But I'm not completely close minded. I'm fine with scary stuff some times. Not my thing, but by itself, not really that bad to me, most of the time.

    And while I'm not really a big fan of Cute stuff, I can appreciate the value in such things. Not everything has to be agressive and tough and cool, and it's not like such things and cuteness are mutually exclusive or anything.

    But those two don't belong together... You don't mix Gore and Sugar. ... you just don't, man...

    To be fair, they can do that if you're under 10% but they still don't like you.

    I suppose I'll put Startrek on the list of things I should consider burning some time with, then. Although it's -way- behind in my list of priorities.

    I'll probably have time to judge the episodes while I'm on vacation, actually.

    I did not even consider My Little Pony over Dr. Who. I still need to check that out, too. I'm reviewing the series to decide what I think on it because there's a girl I know who likes it and that pretty much says everything right there.
