    • Heya, everypony!
      I hope you've all been enjoying March and all things Spring and Warm! Seeing the games you ponies play reminds me of the Equestria Games that my friends took part in at Maretime Bay!
      I admit that it got off to a rocky start, but in time, it turned into a celebration of our differences, along with working together in unity and harmony!  
      Seeing everyone's ranks has given me a fun idea, which is why I wanted to host a game for everyone to enjoy together!
      Just like how everyone joined in unity based on the pony types, everyone here can join together with other users of different ranks to form a group.  
      The goal is to create a group of users with as many unique ranks as you can find! There are twenty-three unique ranks - from Blank Flank to Element of Harmony. You can find the list here. [https://mlpforums.com/faq/site-problems/user-and-staff-ranks-r116/]
      How to create a group? Ask other users if they want to join you. You can ask them in this thread or privately. If they do, and they aren't a member of a different group, post a reply in this thread by tagging all members of your group. If your group gets bigger, you can always edit the response or a post a new one. Remember: groups are allowed to have more than one member of the same rank, but one user can belong to one group. 
      Don't be afraid to interact and invite friends and users of different rankings to join in on the fun! It would make for a great opportunity to get to know one another, as well as to help create and strengthen the bonds of friendship! 
      This event shall last two weeks and the group that's closest to the maximum number of rankings shall be awarded a badge. 
      Never forget the most important thing. It's not about winning. It's about having fun, celebrating our rankings and working together! 
      Good luck and have fun in the games, everypony!

    • Hey, everypony! 
      Sunny Starscout here, wanting to welcome you to March and all things nice and warm! 
      With Spring on the horizon, it reminds me that Winter is almost over. The sun shining, the weather warming up, even being able to ride my rollerblades around Maretime Bay! 
      However, Spring isn't just about all things warm and bright. It's a symbolic meaning of rebirth! The trees with their new leaves, animals waking up from their hibernation, even flowers coming into bloom for the first time in months! 
      You know, it reminded me of how magic came back into the world of Equestria. The time that all three pony tribes were divided. Hitch and I meeting our new friends, Izzy, Pipp and Zipp for the first time. 
      It wasn't truly and easy task, but we managed to find the pony tribe gems, brought them together, and helped everyone to see that friendship and unity can truly make a difference. 
      As a result, magic had been restored and I had become an Alicorn! 
      In a way, it's sort of like a rebirth for all of us living in Equestria!
      That's why I want to celebrate March as a time of coming together in this time of rebirth!  
      There will be some events here and there to welcome Spring and all things fun in the name of friendship! 
      It's like my dad had once told me. That my family is a little too small for such a big task, but family is just a fancy word for ponies that always stick together. Your friends can be a family that you choose. That's why, Hoof to heart, I know that we'll always do our part.
      Happy March and Happy Spring, everypony!

    • That Celestia statute and crystal (Rarity?) statue look great! Very interesting find. The website said you can buy them on their official storepages, but they mentioned Aliexpress too. Hmmm.. since I don't know mandarin I might look into using that site, but maybe.
    • I'm 15! I'm not joking either I'm actually 15! I'd love to be your friend! 
    • i forgot about this website too and i vanished for months
    • If you've seen my post on My little pony, Make your mark you'll know I think it's a mess for so many reasons. But I have come up with what I believe is a way to fix it. I'm not arrogant enough to say I've come to the rescue of pony fans everywhere or that I know better then anyone else. But I do love G4 and have some skill at writing. Skill which I have put towards developing a possible plotline new season of G5, assuming there is one.  It is not clear what is happening with the show. To the best of my knowledge, Make your Mark season one (or whatever the 4 chapters amount to) is over and there are no plans for a second season this year. Tell Your Tale on the other hand is still going and new episodes are planned to be regularly released throughout the year. What this means for G5 is unclear. One possibility is that Tell Your Tale will end this year and so will G5. Or possibly TYT will become the new G5 show with full episodes instead of shorts. Another possibility could be that  G5 will continue under a new name and new 3D show next year while TYT holds the fort and provides new content. It seems the show (The 3D one at least) my be on hold. Hopefully they are using this time to reassess the situation, take in the criticism and make the show better. So I'm posting this now, not just because I want to share my ideas but because I'm hoping this will catch the attention of whoever's working on G5, that someone here has a contact in the studio and will show them this. Frankly I have such confidence that what follows is a good idea it should at least be considered by the professionals. This is not a perfect fix but short of rebooting Make your Mark, it's the best I can do. One good thing about the inconsistent backstories we've had in MYM is that we could say in the show that the real version has been lost  First thing to be addressed is Spike and the other dragons. As I said in my criticism of MYM, to go as far as to redesign their entire anatomy was a step way too far, so they should go back to being bipedal. How? Well I think the best way to do it would be for the dragons to just show up like that and everyone roll with it. They did it with princess Luna between the way she looked in the pilot and Luna Eclipsed and got away with it. And yes I know they had a brief transition in the comics but I'm not sure if that's cannon We might even be able to have a little fun with it. I see the new series beginning like this...   EXT. MARETIME BAY - DAY We open on a pleasant scene in town, seeing the new Mane 6 together when Spike and some other dragons fly in and land in front of them. They are all now bipedal and Spike looks more like the chiselled square-jawed chad he was at the end of G4. SUNNY Spike! Great to see you back on your feet after being in Opaline's power. SPIKE Yes, back on my two feet. The same two feet I've always had, had this whole time and will always have. Spike looks directly at the "camera" making a 4th wall break that would have made Pinky proud. SPIKE Happy now?   Spike goes on to explain why he's in Maretime Bay. As his memory has now fully returned after hibernation (a convenient happening for G5 writers) he needs their help finding a missing dragon he just remembered... His wife, Dragon Lord Ember! If they were married it would an explanation as to how Spike became the Dragon Lord. Spike could even say how, once he finally realised Rarity just wanted to be friends, he moved past his boyish crush and opened his mind to other possibilities, like the beautiful, determined and fearless dragoness he already knew. Besides, Applegeek shipped them as soon as he saw them. Spike goes on to say how they realised Ember was missing when a census was taken once all the dragons awoke. Or possibly she went of on some mission alone before the hibernation began. Or better possibly Spike doesn't say who it is or their relationship to him for a better reveal later. Either way they embark on a quest to find her in some far off part of their world and succeed.   Then a second plotline begins. At some point the new mane six start having the same dream, a pony they know asking to come find them. Believing it's more then a dream they set off in the Marestream, possibly with Spike, and find themselves in the Everfree forest. After exploring they come across a grove made of beautiful crystal trees. At the centre of which they find a giant crystal tree house. A spectral pony appears before them, shifting form between various ponies they knew. It introduces itself as the Tree of Harmony! And the area around them is the Grove of Harmony, the Tree's children and grandchildren. The tree then explains the new main six are the new elements of harmony. Misty - Loyalty Izzy - Laughter Pip - Generosity Zip - Honesty Hitch - Kindness Sunny - Magic (Zip and honesty aren't the best match but the best I could do to get the set) And as such they have inherited the mantel of the 6 along with Twilight's castle and the map inside. Thus they begin going on friendship quests all over Equestria. Also the tree gives us the origin of the hope lantern. In TYT we see Izzy put a magical rock inside. We could say that rock came off the Tree of Harmony, giving it it's powers. It was the powers of harmony that created the Marestream, leaving an empty seat for whoever became the missing element of harmony.   As of this writing, recent events in Tell your Tale indicate that they're going on a quest to find Skyros, the land of the Alicorns. Here's what should happen, after an epic quest to find the place they are greeted by Celestia, Luna, Cadence and a grown-up Flurry Heart! They explain they've all been living here since the bubble when up over Equestria. At one point they introduce the six to some characters off screen. EXT. SKYROS - DAY Sunny, Izzy, Hitch, Pip, Zip and Misty stare agape directly into the camera in front of them, minds boggled at what they are seeing, none more then Sunny who is to amazed to speak. SUNNY Y... yyy... you! You, you, you and you... don't look like what I though you would. FAMILIAR VOICE Oh you must be thinking of how we used to look. I'd say now we're at least... The camera swings around revealing the mystery crowd.  FAMILAIR VOICE ...20% cooler. It's Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinky Pie, Fluttershy and Applejack and they're all ALICORNS! Pinky looks at the audience. PINKY PIE Say it with me now... Alicorn Party! End   So at some point after the end of season 9 the rest of the original Mane Six became alicorns. And why not? Haven't they done as much and been as exceptional as Twilight? Besides this is something a lot of us fans have wanted and it would be enough fan service for us to forgive a LOT! Speaking of fan service, Fluttershy is in Skyros with Discord... her husband! I know this doen't fit with the comics but I'm not sure they're cannon. Also they'll all be Celestia-sized, and since they're grown alicorns we could potentially use new voice actresses and say their voices matured. In the next episode they go on to explain how they became alicorns, the full story of how Opeline tried to take over, how and why Twilight created the Crystals and the Dragon stone, why the dragons went into hibernation and how they ended up in Skyros after Twilight's bubble locked them out of Equestria. That Twilight had the cyrstal stored in Maretime Bay's lighthouse. And moons later went off on a mission to defeat Opaline but never returned. Missing for many moons ago despite everyone's attempts to find her. The original mane six are distressed to learn that Equestria fell apart while it was inside the bubble. The plan was to keep Equestria safe from Opaline and it's magic away from her while they tried to find a way to take her down. But they knew the unity magic created by ponykind would eventually cause a surge that would break the bubble. Hence Twilight's message in the crystals. So they all go on a quest to find Twilight and over the course of the season they make an incredible discovery... It was Twilight who brought down Equestria! She tried to defeat Opaline but she was so powerful that the Twilight gave up. She knew the bubble would be broken when pony magic grew strong enough. So in desperation Twilight somehow got inside the bubble, separated the unity crystals and used a Memory Stone to make all of pony kind forget they were friends. Thus splitting them all up to make sure the magic couldn't grow any more. Twilight teleported each ponykind to the towns of Maretime Bay, Zephyr Heights and Bridlewood, leaving the rest of the kingdom abandoned. They find Twilight and restore her hope. When they ask why she's Celestia sized in person but normal in the message, she says "Legal reasons" and glances at the camera and smirks for another 4th wall joke. Then they all visit the ruins of Ponyville with Spike. It's a very emotional moment, seeing their old homes, Twilight's castle and the School of Friendship in ruins... It's a painful reminder that everything the worked and fought for, Equestria and friendship is gone. Then Sunny says something inspiring  and the original mane six, who have now repaired their friendship the decide to use their powerful Alicorn magic to restore the town like Twilight once restored that dam, recolonise it, restore the School of Friendship and re-educate ponykind on friendship. In season 3 we work in reintroducing the other sentient species, reclaiming the rest of the lost towns and cities, possibly reuniting the city states into a new Equestria. I expect Opaline will return anyway as the TYT remake of the battle indicated that. And there's still the possibility Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozyglow could still be released from their petrified prison. And even reconnecting to the human realm, it would have to be very futuristic now as it's clear Equestria's time isn't like Narnia.   So that's my idea to repair the damage done by MYM and put G5 on track to being a worthy sucsessor. I know it seems like I'm trying to rebuild G4 but if so, why not? Sunny did say they could regain all that was lost. What do you think? Do any of you know a way we could get this to Hasbro? Oh and we need some explanation as to why everyone was freaked out when Flurryheart was born an Alicorn when it's cannon now. And yes I know the Journal of the 2 sisters said that but I consider the show to trump the other material.
