Blackhoof Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 That's true, we need some points of light and hope in the sea of darkness that is this RP and the FSA
Edgedancer he/him Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Useless. Empty. Brain. That Timelock post may just have to wait a while. Sorry. Go ahead and do things; I can fit it in later if necessary. *sigh* No need to freet. Voidus or Twi, does one of you want to pick up the slack Smooze. (We'll keep the Nathan/Revolution ship open in case public opinion shifts in favor of a What Happened in the Sock Puppet Dimension spinoff. ) Do tell me more, suddenly that seems quite the potential. When I first thought of that power set, it took someone pointing that out for me to realize that it could be used offensively. Meh, it's not like killing people on touch is anything out of proportion, so no need to change it I'd say. I've decided to change the way I write Revolution. From now on, she will not speak a single sentence that is not about chakras, auras, or some kind of spiritual vibration, man. You're welcome. Dude,that's a real awesome flow you found there for yourself. Even though Maud Pie has like the most stable chakra ever. On the episode itself. I have to say that jealous Discord is kind of cute. (Plus he made a Metal Gear Solid reference, so that's a good. ) Although, this entire episode made mo wonder if they learned anything about not treating Discord like a nunciance after he defected to Tirek. 2

Doesn't it, though? Although the Mustachioed Sock Puppet Dimension would present some unique challenges (how will Nathan and Revolution pull the switch to send themselves back home when they don't have hands?) I think they're worth exploring. Jealous!Discord was pretty adorable. But yes, ignoring him is a bad idea, since he has the key to sending people to the Mustachioed Sock Puppet Dimension. And from what we could tell, it wasn't that difficult for him. Am I the only one who thought for a second he'd invite the mail pony as his plus one? 3

It's not like they wouldn't have hands but their hands would make them the supreme emperors over the sock puppets. About as dificult as scretching the air. It was a distinc possiblity. Then again one would ask why Discord doesn't get magical mail service, given both his location and importanct... unless Celestia wanted him to grow jealous. (This episode really gives fooder to Troll! and Evil!Celestia.) 2

So this isn't to be a story of two lovers tragically banished to a hostile dimension by a spurned goddess; it's the story of two lovers tragically banished to a hostile dimension by a spurned goddess…whose fully developed appendages almost immediately elevate them to the status of gods themselves. Will their hands power corrupt them, or will they be benevolent deities? Only time will tell…. Yeah. Not too hard, once you figure out exactly where you want to send a poor hippie pony. Did she invite him because of his chaotic, fun-loving nature….or did she invite him because she knew his chaotic, fun-loving nature would have been stretched near to breaking by the constant suspense of whether or not he was actually invited? Did she hope his invitation really would get lost and he'd invite himself anyway, knowing he would be even more chaotic than usual? 3

Celestia really should have known that mail takes a while to reach Discord, even if the problem never happened and expressed excitement at not inviting him at all, so she probably hoped for something. Unless, sending the invitations was a part of the work Twilight took over, in which case good job princes of friendship. 2
Voidus Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 I can get a Bioterror post up but what kind of scope are we talking, shifting the conversation away to another topic or just some filler to keep things going?

Unless, sending the invitations was a part of the work Twilight took over, in which case good job princes of friendship. Kobold? I think Revolution ought to make the first move here. Well, that one episode where she visited Ponyville and had tea at the Cakes' bakery proved she has some trollishness in her, and it could be argued that she invited the Mane 6 to the first Grand Galloping Gala—with as little background information as possible—in hopes they would liven things up by making fools of themselves. So there's certainly precedent. And given Twilight's meticulous nature, I'm not inclined to believe she'd let something as big as Discord's invitation slip through the cracks, unless Celestia gave her incorrect information about the best way to get his invitation to him on time. 1

Sorry Forrest but an faceless NPC just can't keep up with the allure of infinite might over a sock uppet dimension. Seems like age is getting to her. Talking about age, it's kind of a good thing that Discord never really had friends before, otherwise we would have to deal with all of them dying of old age while he was imprisoned. 1
Voidus Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Alright I'll try to get something up soon.New Epic idea for no reason, semi-serious.Cliche:Primary power- Probability manipulation- Cliche's life since calamity has been a series of tropes, he can mentally set the genre of tropes that will occur but not specifically. When Cliche is around bad guys aim suddenly becomes inexplicably terrible while protagonists can harm someone with every shot. 2

And it's too late for a love triangle. I mean, we already have one—Nathan, Revolution, and infinite power over sock puppets. That would be super depressing, especially since he was introduced as a villain. Though in Celestia's case, once you've lived a few thousand years, there's really not much else to do but troll people. 1

"Nathan, your chakras glow with an intensity, man I've never seen something like that... but the socks they are like unique and they need my attention." Just something that popped into my head when Discord talked about being so old of course he has more friends. 1

Well in the RP so far I'd say it's pretty much limited to Remington and maybe Vondra, people who typically fight a lot of bad guys with guns I guess.

Oh please. it's only an eye and we all know that there is more than one I in team... figuratively speaking. (Is it still attached to the nerves?) By the way, removing the ladders alone is worth ten upvotes. What if Cliche would fight aginst one of them? Would he get bad aim as one of the villains or does his own perspective on whose a bad guy weight more? Edited May 17, 2015 by Edgedancer 1

Thanks, I think the sims is probably going to get a few references given the similarities between Epics and sims players. (Both given great powers, both mostly using those powers to torture people ) Well he'd probably count as a big bad rather than a generic bad guy but yeah he'd get the bad guy tropes, such as a compulsion to monologue before actually killing people. 1

Will their hands power corrupt them, or will they be benevolent deities? Only time will tell…. I wake up to find that not only have Nathan and Revolution's character arcs been inexorably entwined, but they have also been completely hijacked from their current plans in favor of a beautiful story about love, power, jealousy, and corruption. But you know what? I'll make sure to add some shipping fuel. And maybe foreshadow Revolution's lifelong love of sock puppets. 2

But you know what? I'll make sure to add some shipping fuel. And maybe foreshadow Revolution's lifelong love of sock puppets. I come back from my daily workout, visiting my fater to cook a meal and watch the animated Superman Batman: Apocalypse movie (from 2010 I think, the good old times) and doing some cleaning at home and suddenly Kobold is actually making it happen... I also realized that MLP has a good amount of MGS references. This episode with Discord in the box and the exclamation point, Pinkie's sneaking in the season start and Twilight's old Snake outfit. And then there's the fan ponies. Edited May 17, 2015 by Edgedancer
Edgedancer he/him Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 And I never left in the first place True loyality to the cause. Say Twi and Kobold, on a philosophical nature, what do Nathan and Sunburst think about this new shipping? (Also what are the chances of her Epic name changing to Treehugger instead of Sunburst? )

Say Twi and Kobold, on a philosophical nature, what do Nathan and Sunburst think about this new shipping? (Also what are the chances of her Epic name changing to Treehugger instead of Sunburst? ) Of course this question comes when I can't ponify Nathan's response. "Revolution? The...the sort of hippie-ish girl I just met? She's cute, and she called Lightwards a joyous leprechaun, so she seems pretty awesome...wait, did Funtimes hear that? Sparks, tell me she didn't hear that! I--I just like her as a friend, okay? And I think most girls are pretty, in their own way and--Calamity. She's going to kill me, isn't she." 3

And I think most girls are pretty, in their own way and--Calamity. She's going to kill me, isn't she." Curse my timing. Still, a very telling response. I would also like to say that this relationship has been perfectly forshadowed. "Who is that, dear?" the hippie asked, thumbing through a pamphlet. Nathan stifled a sigh. "That is Nighthound. And don't call me 'dear.'" "Of course not, darling." 2

I would also like to say that this relationship has been perfectly forshadowed. Telling in that it screams "Rescuenapping meets one-sided instalove"? Because that's basically the entire basis for his and Funtimes' relationship at the moment. I never have two characters argue like a passive aggressive old married couple without reason. 1

About that, I wondered before and it was alluded to but did Funtimes specifically pick Nathan even before the whole Fortuity thing happened? ...Well Kobold it was the plan all along, so now you have to play along after adopting the character. 1

She did think he was cute when she saw him in the casino, and she'd already begun to think he must be a nicer guy than Fortuity based on what little she saw of his interactions with the other servers, so she was already thinking about running off with him before her date revealed his plans for the evening. You've been trapped by Fate itself. 2
