Re: My Little Pony XLVIII: I say Ol' Chap, how about those Equestrians?
*tips helmet*
That's going to be a reet bugger , as they say, to hollow out, though. I suspect it'll be most of Monday's CADing time.
For my next trick (well, after sorting out that last infantry), I shall attempt to design another AFV loosley based around Saw Boss/Saw Trooper, because.
I would say "keep up the Evil work, fellow Evil-Doer!
But remember your place, clone..."

Re: My Little Pony XLVIII: I say Ol' Chap, how about those Equestrians?
Twi makes such a cute Ted with that hair style.
I don't think I get the one where Twi turns into a colt and Pinky has a... lego-looking board in her hand.
On the 8-Bit game: My daughter and I played it up to Rarity before it was bed time. AJ's kick apparently has a bit more range than it looks cause the final kick I did to Discord was at least a pony-length away. Not complaining mind you as I only had half a heart left.
I think Pinkie's party cannon is the most "spammable" weapon. Only ever got hit by Discord. I like that concept...

There are no bad ponies. Only Discorded ponies.

Re: My Little Pony XLVIII: I say Ol' Chap, how about those Equestrians?
Desserting On Dawn Review:
SpoilerTwenty-fifth Day of Winter, Caer Gallan.
The dawn was obscured slightly by light cloud cover, but despite this, the dawn was bright and rosy
Noteworthy for being the dawn that the Diamond King noted as being rather auspicious, even in the midst of the most vicious winter known to antiquity.
Out of curiosity, have you ever taken the time to just sit and watch the dawn? Like, gotten up early, climbed the highest mountain available to you, and watched the horizon until the sun came up?
If you haven't, do so. I make it practise to do it at least once a year. It's always an absolutely beautiful experience that will stay with you for the year to come.
It was not an easy balcony to get onto, being so high up in the rafters of the solar shrine, but she'd managed to use her little curse to get up where no one could see her.
After all, just because the temple guards were shivering out in the cold right now didn't mean they might not come in and patrol before the king arrived.
The shrine was exceedingly dark, and so very cold before dawn.
She pressed herself against the smoothed stone of the balcony to wait. She had to see it, at least once. And then she'd be able to tell all the fillies and all the colts back home what it was like, and she'd know, she'd really honestly know how it was done. Even if they caught her, or she was missed at breakfast, it would be worth it.
She waited. She nearly fell asleep, only her shivering and the howling of the wind outside keeping her awake.
When they finally began to file in, she held her breath, pressed her hooves against her mouth, and watched with wide eyes.
First Day of Order, Caer Tanlott.
A.D. 0
The dawn was the first normal dawn that Equestria had seen in some time, and the first to not use the ancient multi-choral sun-raising technique. Heavy chaos storms disrupted the dawn initially, but cleared up once the sun was fully visible. And if it wobbled slightly as it rose, nopony complained. Noteworthy for being the subject of Manengelo's famous painting, "Celestia Invictus".
The colour breaks the horizon far before the sun itself does, spreading blue across the whole sky and igniting a bonfire of white amidst the distant mountains. The first inches of its flight are the most glorious, stabbing so sharp and so powerfully into eyes unprepared for their brilliance. Slowly, languorously, it breaches the tip of the mountains and recedes some of it's radiance within itself. Finally, by the time it has well and truly taken reign in the sky, surrounded by the clouds which are its courtiers and attendants, the sun reduces to a mere ball of fire and fades into the background.
If you're writing a story about famous sunrises you should really watch some sunrises and take detailed notes. Sunrises and sunsets are, in my opinion, all the proof I need for the existence of God.
And below them, those bold ponies with a talent for healing had begun to do their work, patching up injured ponies and doing what they could in the dark for those who'd been badly hurt or - worse - mutated.
"Ye did it." She started
don't hit me again, i'll be good, i'll be good
You might want to look those suckers up because EqD will bounce your story for misusing them.
Also, 'ye'? Not 'Thou'?
"Let us raise the sun and let its light shineth upon our subjects, that they may rejoice, and know that order hath returned!" Our subjects? The thought hadn't occurred to her- would they want to be ruled by, well, freaks?
we led them, sister, we defeated Discord itself and smote it upon the mountainside, we shall take his throne for ourselves and they will love us!"
And that was how Celestia earned her cutie mark.
Um, possibly that could be a feature and not a bug here but there would need to be a framing voice/clarification of the narrator.
The trees of the forest far below rustled and shook in the night winds. After so many years, their goal of understanding the forest was finally in sight. Studying the chaos-wracked forest was dangerous, true, with so many monstrous creatures and malevolent plants within, but it might unlock secrets to helping the world run in patterns on its own again, without either constant pony maintenance or unbridled chaos. Luna herself knew best of all the magic of the forest, and she might actually be able to-
The sun rose, as it always did, and Luna gasped in delight. "The day! Behold, the gold crossing ebony, the light brought for me... thou art, as ever, a most marvelous daybringer, Celestia! Thank you once again!"
Every time she closed her eyes, she could see her little sister. Gleaming teeth, sharp hooves, a mane that no longer looked like the night sky but a sea of stars, armor that should have never been put back on, and hatred in her eyes. Actual hatred. Luna hadn't pulled a single punch, she hadn't shown any mercy, she'd threatened to keep her beautiful night over the land forever. She didn't want to listen, and she hadn't cared about her sister's pleas.
This will literally kill the fic for me. You are sidestepping the most complicated, involved, emotional and powerful character arc in the entire MLP setting. You can't do that. You just can't.
Sorry, I can't progress past this point in the review. The next chapter seems to be a thousand years in the future which means there's no prospect for a proper examination of the concept, so I'm just going to put it down.
This album; it's not my favourite musically, but narratively it's one of the best visions I've ever seen of the Celestia and Luna story. With Poise; With Anger forever changed my view of Celestia. Dawn is genuinely heartbreaking.

I got that image first in Google Images by simply doing "Reboot Bob pony" and got it through ponibooru.

Re: My Little Pony XLVIII: I say Ol' Chap, how about those Equestrians?
That is... weird. I tried a few things and I couldn't get anything to pop up. On the video, it was strictly images we were looking at.
Edit: after watching that video, do you ever forget how awesome ponies look if you edit the scenes just right? I kinda did but then that video was just great.Last edited by Strife Warzeal; 2012-07-13 at 09:21 AM.

Re: My Little Pony XLVIII: I say Ol' Chap, how about those Equestrians?
SpoilerExcellent; thank you for highlighting that one lack that was itching at me but that I couldn't find. I think my original intention, when I first wrote this, was contrast - going from idyll to hell. But you're right, my usual method of highlighting by omission isn't going to work here.
And I'm afraid most of the sunrises I personally witnessed, I associate with Scottish mist and damp mornings. Which wouldn't be the most inspiring description ever, talking about how the mist slowly gets light enough to see from the kitchen to your tent and hey is that the sun yes it is now hurry up and rise all the way so we're not freezing.

Re: My Little Pony XLVIII: I say Ol' Chap, how about those Equestrians?
But we don't go from idyll to hell. We completely skip the Hell. We go from idyll to idyll with the implication that something nasty happened but it's better now.
I think this story needs a sunset to every sunrise.
For a sunrise to be memorable watch it during summer, watch it alone and watch it from a mountaintop. Get up early and spend at least two hours waiting for it. The sunrise itself is brief, sudden, but the buildup - ah! That's what counts.

Re: My Little Pony XLVIII: I say Ol' Chap, how about those Equestrians?
While you are right - and I'm all the dumb for not realizing that earlier - for me, that scene is hell.
But, again, another scene or two is needed to really hammer that in.

Re: My Little Pony XLVIII: I say Ol' Chap, how about those Equestrians?
The shipping generator is coming along nicely. It's pretty much fully functional at this point, I just need the last bit of polish and bug squashing. Also pictures and more characters in the database, so far I have 48 portraits and 85 characters.
And finally a name! It needs a super awesome amazing name. I was thinking something involving Cadance and Heart's Desire (now there's a crack ship! Now I want to ship Cadance and Zecora and have them experiment with Zecora's viagra recipe )
Anyway, pics:

Re: My Little Pony XLVIII: I say Ol' Chap, how about those Equestrians?
Part of me is saying "It's so beautiful *sniff*", another is yelling "Sweet Celestia, what have I helped create!?". A third part is sneering "Bah. It'll never have the feel and the soul of a hand-crafted ship."
A fourth is cackling madly and going "SCIENCE! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!". It's probably the loudest.Last edited by SlyGuyMcFly; 2012-07-13 at 01:34 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XLVIII: I say Ol' Chap, how about those Equestrians?
*Tips hat* Kudos for a job well done!
Questions:
You finally went with PHP?
It's working with an online database?
If you have the time drop me a line (or the code) if you want, I would like to take a look to what you did.
Again Excellent job!
Also it seems our resident Trixie fans have reasons to be very happy on season 3. Me I just hope that we get more adventures...Last edited by Zigg'rrauglurr; 2012-07-13 at 01:46 PM.

In hindsight, Trixie in season 3 makes sense, since they're doing the toy and everything.

YES!
S3 stuff
SpoilerTrixie! I just hope, hope, HOPE they do her well, whatever they do
Also Octavia/Rarity sounds crazy awesome! Not sure what to think of Flutterdragon, it's kinda vague, could mean anything
Song was fun ... Spike doing ballet got me laughing. I do wonder what she failed.
PHP yes, it's what I'm most familiar with on the web. It's going to be using a MySQL database, because that's what my host offers.
Once I have it polished I'll send you the code if you like, right now it's messy and ugly and not something I'd show off
