Fhaolan

Honestly, it wouldn't worry me that much, since the stated time frame is only 100 years. While a lot of the decorations have been moved around, people haven't changed that much in 100 years. They still do the same stupid stuff they did before, they just do it with different slang and costumes.

Oh....oh! If dupe accounts didn't get the standard 'banished' rank, this would be *perfect*.

Okay, I think some clarity is needed for this suggestion, as the responses so far seems to indicate there's some confusion as to the intent... 1) Is this for a specific Roleplaying area for MLP Crossovers? At the moment there's no restriction on the Everfree RP area, so I would assume the intent is so that you can find MLP Crossover RPs more easily? There is also the Ask a Pony section that's sorta RP as well, that while named 'Ask a Pony' seems to have non-pony stuff wandering around in it. 2) Is this for a specific discussion area for the concept of MLP Crossovers? Currently these would go into Sugarcube Corners, so I would assume the intent is, again, to be able to find these topics more easily? 3) Is this for discussion on OCs that are not MLP-type characters? Currently MLP OCs are discussed in Octavia's Hall/Other Fan Works/Original Character Help, but we don't have a place set aside for non-MLP OC discussions. That's more an Everfree Forest thing. 4) Is this for having discussions throughout the forums *in character* as OCs? This is something I used to do a lot on other forums, but this forum had a rule against it as prior mods/admins/directors/founders/etc. really, really didn't like it and put a kibosh on the idea every time it came up. I don't know, given that most of the people I remember having an issue with it when I was staff aren't here anymore, if that rule could be up for discussion again.

Heya. Which parts do you need help with?

It's kinda pointless trying to keep it a secret, at least in my case. I predate the internet, so I've got stuff out there from before Online Identity Theft was invented. I occasionally use different screen names in specific scenarios, but I've been using 'Fhaolan' online for about 30 years or so. Do a search on that specific spelling and a majority of the results are very likely me, including results that reveal my real name and several old addresses. It wouldn't take too much effort to find my current address, as in order to get a job now-a-days in the IT industry, you have to have a resume online on multiple sites. If someone wants to track me down physically, more power to them. Wouldn't be the first time, won't be the last. I'm not that worried about it.

High School? That would be the class of '87. Yes, 1987. McGregor High School, Chatham, Ontario.

Possibly the strangest thing I've found in a public toliet was the hood of a car. Must have been from one of those land-yacht monstrosities from the 60's or 70's, as it was a substantial sheet of steel. And this was on the third floor of a mall, so it took some effort to get it there.

This one's a physical board game, rather than a video game, but it's something I've been puzzled about why it does not exist already. Given Hasbro owns several game companies, I've always wondered why they don't take advantage of that with cross-product games. As a note: I'm writing this as I go along off the top of my head, none of this has been playtested or even checked for reasonableness. Basically, it's an attempt at making a collectible game out of their existing collectibles: the blind-bags. The goal of the game is to make friends, the one who makes the most friends by whatever the end conditions is wins. The base game starts with a bunch of tiles, each tile representing a location from the show. Each turn, you draw a random tile and place it, much like any other tile-drawing game. This tile indicates how many ponies are in that location, and any modifiers to gameplay in that location. (Some may make it more difficult to make friends, or easier, or make things more complicated.) If you want to plan for tile expansion sets, you could have the base set be Ponyville locations, with Canterlot, Manehatten, etc. as expansions. Each tileset has a recommended number of blind-bags to get as well. This will get expensive as you get more sets, but that's capitalism for you. Next, all the blind-bag ponies get a small card with a description and some simple statistics like 'friendliness' and 'movement', and maybe some kind of quirk for a more advanced game. Since these cards don't exist yet, they are available on the Hasbro MLP website for downloading. One of those blind-bag ponies is your playing piece, you move it around the tiles, up to your movement statistic. The rest of the blind-bags you own are randomly drawn from the 'stable' to place on the tiles as indicated. You land on a tile with ponies, you can 'make friends' by rolling against their 'friendliness' score, modified by the tile you're on, one at a time. If you fail, you have to stop there, even if there are ponies you haven't tried to befriend yet on that tile as your turn is ended. Any you succeeded to make friends with, you take off the tile and put in your 'herd'. This is your score. Game ends when one player gets 'x' friends, or the tiles run out, or something like that.

Behind the scenes? If they were more in front of the scenes, they'd be standing in the orchestra pit.

Cummins. Been using a Dodge 3500 HD as our main truck for hauling since 2001. We used to haul horse trailers from Seattle to LA and back for jousting shows, as part of a convoy of mixed vehicles. We got fractionally better millage out of the Dodge than the Fords did, as it seemed the Dodge was rigged for distance hauling while the Fords were rigged for high-weight, short-term power. And don't get me started on the gas versions. Diesel all the way for hauling. Honestly though, it wasn't the engine that sold it to us at the the time, it was the brakes. When you're hauling horses up and down the Cascades, I'm more interested in being able to *stop* when things go wrong, and the Dodges at that time had the best brakes in their class.

It was a feature these forums used to have, before a software upgrade removed it. People have been asking for it back again, but the actual developers of IPS have refused to put it back in. @Jeric put the list thing in as a stopgap measure, just to see if it would fix it without getting developers involved. Response has been mixed.

Part of this I can help with, though it's not ... intuitive. I'm hoping they can come up with a quicker process later. If you go to your profile, and click the 'See my activity' button that's on the bottom right of the so-called 'cover photo', you'll be sent to a page of your most recent posts. On the left side is a big list of different 'databases' the forum uses. It's not sorted in any useful way, unfortunately. "Character Archive" is the old Everfree character database, some distance below that is 'Equestrian Empire Character Archive' which is the old EqE database. If you scroll about 3/4 down, there should be a 'Pony Roleplay Characters' entry. Click on the characters below that, and it *should* list all your character sheets.
