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.

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!

I knew that, I just didn't know if we'd made a final decision in the dozen or so pages I Thread Hopped over.

I'm happy that my suggestion of using toyline only ponies as characters in the new round robin fic seems to be what's going to be used, unless it ends up changing to something else. I just don't see much about them in fanworks, and it would make it even more unique that way, although the idea of shipping Octavia and Celestia was also unique rather than using a more common fanon pairing. Plus I think the toyline-only ponies have even more potential BECAUSE they're not in the show (outside of some of them being in the comics) so pretty much anything could go with them since they do have such vague personalities.

(finishes chugging syrup) Ah. I'm all done. (burp) I did it. I drank the whole dang thing in 8 hours. Now, while I was taking away God knows how many years of my life by clogging my lungs, I was thinking about the 50 Cent/Ja Rule beef. Right now, it seems stupid. 50 Cent had one great album and then the rest dropped in quality. Ja Rule had MORE than one good album and some, afterward, say that his failed albums are a tiny bit underrated. Any thoughts on the situation?

I wanna see Twitch play a fighting game. That would be hilarious.

No it would not. They've already tried action games like Mario, but it really doesn't work. It only works with RP Gs, and especially time insensitive, grid based RP Gs like Pokemon.

Personally, I think that Twitch shouldn't play anything, but that's just me.

Speaking of that doc, here it is.

Once we figure this out, we'll have another doc to keep track of who's writing the next one.

The humor isn't watching a bunch of people sucking at the game, it's watching the reactions.

Some of the more epic fails are hilarious though. And during important battles, there's actually a surprising amount of tension and excitement. The continuous failures just make the eventual victory all the sweeter.

Oh yes, the fan fic. I'm guessing it is close to done? What will the next fic be about?

Now that Twitch has become reasonably competent at Pokemon, I think they need to step it up a bit. Bring on Twitch Plays Dark Souls.

@Orion: It's already finished, but there's still discussion on how to post it on a fanfiction site. The next one is likely to be about Tealove but that could change if a different idea comes up that people like more.

Now, if it was Democracy mode from the get-go, it would be interesting to watch.

Actually, democracy is incredibly boring to watch. It's basically a necessary evil. The only times I've found any excitement watching democracy was the Safari Zone and the first time through the Elite Floor since those were high stakes, near impossible puzzles and the first time, you're not sure if they can even manage it. But for the most part, Democracy is just a slow lets play with ocassionaly overshooting. It's a necessary evil.

That episode is one of my favorites. Mainly because that was basically how I was all through grad school, only without the magical powers.

I initially didn't like it, but it grew on me a lot on repeat viewing.

P.S. Twitch just made it to Karen the second time in a row. I think they're getting close to actually winning (though Lance will still be a huge challenge with those Thunder!Dragonites).

They just beat Karen!!! Admittedly, they're doomed since they only have Brian left, but I think this is the first time they've gotten to Lance.

According to the status page, it is!

That was really cool to see, actually. Glad I stayed up ab it to watch it.

But now, I must be off to bed. Goodnight all.

I've been kind of meh on TPP Crystal ever since they lost the Admiral.

I think I would like to be in the next round robin fic, if we're doing that.

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

The revenge against the gods angle is cool, wish there were more lore to strengthen it, or was introduced a bit earlier.

They still have to beat all of Kanto again. There's time to build more lore.

Gen2 Kanto is a joke. The only difficulty is walking into the gym. Red will be a challenge though.

Stuff could still happen. Or, accidents could still happen, at least.

Also, I cast my votes on the google doc for the round robin.

Stuff will happen, but the battles are highly unlikely to pose a challenge. Most likely we'll flail about on the magnet train and fun stuff like that.
