I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

But yeah, some games are designed with the player grinding in mind. Whether or not that's good design is a matter of opinion, but if it is intentional...
I prefer when grinding isn't necessary, but optional.

Like, you can get by with superior strategy even though you're otherwise underleveled.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

It's a separate app to the PC in the games.

Cloudsdale has the Wonderbolts on their team? That seems like a bit of an unfair advantage.

Depends on which events they're competing in, I guess.

Well, if the event was "Rescuing ponies from certain doom", they'd be sure to fail at it.tongue

I was looking at the hilarious website Cake Wrecks and saw something relevant to this thread, since it's a cake with a Rarity doll on it. It's the second-last cake on this blog post. As a warning, it's kind of like that old Sweetie Poo meme only with Sweetie's older sister. If Rarity herself saw it, she'd would be absolutely disgusted. I personally think the juxtaposition is funny because it depicts Rarity being OOC but other people might not be as fond of the Toilet Humor.

Well, Cloudsdale has two Wonderbolts competing. We don't know about the rest. It's possible they're all joining their home town's team.

I wouldn't really call it unfair. It's kind of a forgone conclusion that if a town's population is made mostly of pegasi they'll probably have a better pool to draw an aerial team from. It's like saying it's unfair that the US has better athletes than Ruritania; they just have a much larger pool to draw from.

Also that cake... eugh.

Judging from the clip on EQD, it seems to be at least two Wonderbolts vs. RD, Flutters and Bulk Bicep aka Snowflake. Seems totally fair! [lol] (Unless the Wonderbolts are just coaching the Cloudsdale team.)

@marston: I like to think that event involves pushing Rarity off a steep cliff. Is that bad?

If anyone needs some Brain Bleach after seeing those cakes, I also have some cute pictures of Rarity that I found:

We saw more pegasi training in the background, so likely it was just those two talking to RD, not the whole team. I just hope they don't make the Wonderbolts out to be jerks or antagonists here.

I wouldn't really call that unfair. Some teams are going to have better athletes. That's just how things are. If Ponyville only has one pegusus good enough to compete, it isn't every other town's responsibility to handicap themselves for the sake of fairness.

Hi Gwen! :3

In response to the discussion. Cloudsdale is OP nerf pls

But really, if they're from Cloudsdale and still live there, it is fair to let them compete in what seems to be the pony Olympics.

@JT & Crow: I can understand that, I suppose. As Mike stated, Spitfire and Fleetfoot(?) could be representing Cloudsdale as individuals and separate from the Wonderbolts.

Also, that cake. WTF

What I've been wondering is how Cloudsdale hosted the games when it's pretty much a pegasi only city.

They didn't, that was the whole point. RD was upset they didn't. But if they did. Just have the stadium built, and non-pegasi stuff done on the ground under the city.

I don't know if this has already been discussed, but has anyone else heard about Princess Molestia being shut down by Hasbro?

And if anyone knows about copyright laws PLEASE explain them to me because I've been arguing with my brother for the past hour about it over text messages and we keep going in circles and I am getting VERY ANGRY.

#39321: Jan 17th 2014 at 5:53:17 PM

I wonder if that's why Cloudsdale didn't win the right to host the games. It would probably be the most expensive games ever since they'd need to build an entire infrastructure on the ground below the city, or hire unicorns to constantly be casting cloud walking spells.

[up]Huh, I hadn't heard about that. Crazy. To be honest the Molestia stuff got played out pretty quickly. The Gamer Luna and Derpy stuff was way more interesting I think.

Librarian- not sure what you're talking about. And I don't know anything about copyright laws.

Edit- yeah, it's gone. Well, I'm sure they'll figure out a loophole soon enough.

@Librarian: My understanding of the situation is that the guys behind it were thinking of shutting it down anyway because it was getting old. Then at some point it got shut down for unspecified reasons by tumblr. Theories abound, but the most popular theory is that that stupid Down With Molestia group somehow got it flagged or hit with a C&D and tumblr shut it down. Since the authors were planning on ending it anyway, they decided to just let it lie rather than try to rebuild it just to end it soon anyway. But it's really all hearsay at this point.

@ Librarian: I don't think it was Hasbro, I think someone emailed Tumblr and they pulled it. I think. I don't know. My reaction to the whole thing was this
