A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.

All of the usual forum rules apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

     Original OP text 
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!

Should we consider making a thread in the RP subforum just for socking?

@Wryte: That'd probably be an idea to consider actually.

As long as nobody plays Chaotic Neutral, I'm fine. Chaotic Neutral is basically a character-alignment excuse to be a dick.

I have one guy in my group who basically always plays the same character: A semi-insane shit-disturber with a penchant for sexual harassment, and I basically find myself waiting for an excuse to kill him or fuck with him every time. It usually comes up pretty quick.

Is it new sock week, or what?

Well Pony Stark is old (IIRC he posted back when Iron Man 3 came out) but there do seem to be a lot of new sockpuppets.

Well, it is shortly after christmas. Everybody always gets socks for Christmas.

I wonder what ponies always get for Hearth's Warming? Is that even a gift-giving holiday? People always assume it is because of the association with Christmas, but we don't see any gift-giving going on...

I hope we get another holiday episode. Even if they're just analogues for American holidays, I always like seeing them. Neat worldbuilding, and stuff.

In my last campaign I played CN and it went well. In fact, I was the least evil person in the party for a while (including the allegedly lawful good Cleric!!!).

I've seen people say they hate it because problem players tend to gravite to CN. I guess that happens in no-evil games because in my limited RP experience, the only time I've seen a player act up like that, they went straight for evil.

I think it's also more important how well you fit into the group than any objective standard.

It's not so much the ponies showing up to chat that bugs me, it's when we go off on these mini story lines, like Star going to visit Minty in the hospital, or whatnot. Which, I must admit, I've been guilty of, myself.

I guess the line I'd draw is if the sock is discussing something directly related to the show, that goes here. If they just want to, for lack of a better phrase, have a tea party, that should go in some kind of freeform RP thread.

I'm still wondering how Star could have been bored with an internet connection.

@Story: I think it depends on how you play the character.

@Story: Yeah, you probably have a point. There's a lot of wiggle room on alignments. I've been playing an evil character lately, but've been having trouble actually doing anything actually evil... mostly just petty and dickish. Like picking up a gnome to talk to him. And then throwing him through a portal to test if it was safe.

If Discord was actually willing to work with the party he'd be fine, is the thing.

If Order Of The Stick has taught us anything, it's this.

The thing is that evil doesn't have to mean kicking puppies and burning down orphanages. So that sounds fine to me.

I like to think I can play a CN that isn't just a dick. (Maybe still a little bit of a dick, but it comes with the territory.)

Every week is new sock week. Eventually this thread will just be a 100% RP thread.
Horror of horrors.

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

If you wanna play chaotic neutral without being a evil by another name, or just a jerk, try thinking Pinkie.

Pinkie doesn't actually do anything that would qualify as that chaotic from a Dn D alignment standpoint, though. I don't think she ever actually subverts order in any direct way, she's just... silly.

Well, you seem to prefer windows and walls as a means of entry, so... that would qualify as chaotic, perhaps?
