    I'l like to request a treasure chest, please. I just need one more to finish the mission I'm working on. I'm the one who's been leaving them by your trainstations as I feel they will be easily discovered there. If anyone wants to leave me one, you can put it by mine If you haven't added me, my username is Princess_Lona. And thanks @KirbyFluttershy and @Antismurf9001 for easing my mind about the changelings and parasprites. My town is full of them now but I'm going to unlock all the elements way sooner!

    I just want to see Pinkie Pie host Saturday Night Live. If there were to be a Discworld crossover I would expect all of the royal guardsmen to actually be mares in disguise because the only Discworld novel I've read is Mostourous Regiment. I also think a Care Bears crossover could be fun. If they could make that old show cool the way they made MLP cool, I would watch it.

    Question: Do the parasprites and changelings actually do anything besides get in the way? If I don't keep them at bay will they start eating my town, or will they just take up space? I ask because I'm trying to save my shards to activate the last few stones but I have to keep on spending them to kill the sprites and 'lings. I don't mind letting a few build up and killing them later as long as they won't do any damage while I wait. The Internet has so far not answered my question.

    I need Gameloft friends for Pony game winnings! Add me: Princess_Lona

    Thanks. I was running it constantly just in case. I've added a bunch of friends from the list in the OP but so far no one has accepted. I think maybe the accounts are dead? If anyone is looking for friends add me. Princess_Lona! Added! Added! I wonder if perhaps we should make a new list. It seems like the old one hasn't been updated in a while. Or maybe I'm just lazy and don't want to go through the whole thing adding everyone and sifting through the dead accounts.

    Okay, I feel really REALLY dumb for asking this but I'm at a loss here. How do I save my game? I just downloaded the app and I'm playing it but nowhere do I see a save menu. I searched the web but I can't seem to find anything but save game hacking tips. Sorry if this has already been asked but it's a long thread so I only skimmed it looking for the answer. Oh my Celestia, I feel like a n00b.

    I'm an actor. It's tough to make a living but I love it. Do as many school productions as you can and make as many theatre connections as you can while you're at it, because once you're out there trying to get parts in "real world" plays there is a lot of competition and it helps to have friends.

    Sorry if I was unclear. I don't mean to brush off EQG as being "for little kids", I mean to celebrate it as being for little kids! It is, after all intended to teach children lessons about friendship. And I think that by humanizing the ponies and reiterating in a human context all of the lessons about friendship and self-growth that Twilight learned over the seasons, the writers show how those lessons are applicable to the real lives of the children watching the show. I agree with everything you said about the importance of art and I do believe that MLP is very good art. I also believe that a show for children can be very good art. I think MLP is a great example of that. The reason I love Friendship is Magic is that it is so well written and teaches kids (young girls especially) to grow up confident and strong, but also kind and understanding.

    I'll just answer their questions honestly because I will respect my children and I would never lie to them or deny them an answer I could provide. If they ask how babies are made I'll explain cellular biology, meiosis and mitosis, and probably a little bit about the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. If they further enquire as to how the sperm and egg cells come together, I'll tell them about heterosexual sex. I won't tell them that you have to be in love to have sex, I won't tell them that they're not allowed to have sex, and I won't act like it's a big deal. If they are curious and ask more questions I'll tell them everything they want to know. I'll explain boners and clits and arousal and all kinds of sexuality if they ask about it. People act like sex is this big secret and we try to protect young kids from it, but answers like "you'll find out when you're older" only promote the bad attitudes that people have about sex. I want my kids to know the truth. I'm not worried that if I tell them when they're very young that they might go off having sex at age ten or something, because I know that if I'm always honest with them they will feel comfortable talking to me about anything and will probably trust me and talk to me about it first when they do start thinking about having sex. But of course, this is all a moot point as I'm never having kids.

    I don't think that within the context of the show, a high school setting and a popularity contest is less serious than the other challenges Twilight has faced. Remember that the human world was a completely new experience for Twilight. She felt completely out of place and while she had already learned a lot about leading in Equestria, her experience in the humanverse taught her how to start from scratch when leading people with no Celestia to guide her (I loved it when Principal Celestia slammed the door after Twi left the office). I believe that Twilight became humanoid instead of some other creature, and had to apply everything she had already learned about friendship to a human context in a world which is very much like our own because the point of the show is to teach young children lessons which will help them grow. Putting the whole thing into a human context makes Twilight's experience even more relatable to the intended audience. It's little kids, remember?

    Princess Lona replied to Discordian's topic in Media Discussion

    I agree with Durandal's post above in that I think the professor is rather a stereotype and a bad representation of atheists as a whole. Not to mention the guy in the beginning and the woman interviewing the band. That aside, I'm interested to hear what the kid has to say just before he says "Science supports God's existence".

    I also love dreams. I can't say that I know what they are or what causes them as I have not done the research myself, but so far I can say that my dreams, at any rate, seem to come from my own mind. Whether it's the subconscious grinding through the dregs of my brain or what, I'm not sure, but in my experience the elements of my dreams are usually rooted pretty obviously in my recent memories. One thing I do know is that lucid dreaming is real! I have done it, and it is awesome! I don't train, so it doesn't happen very often and when it does, it catches me by surprise and I often screw up my chance to do something cool before I wake up. If you like dreams and you want to have a dream as beautiful as that picture, you should look up lucid dreaming and try it.

    Maybe Big Mac failed a whole bunch of times. As long as we're talking about the Apple family, why is Granny Smith working in the school cafeteria instead of on the farm? I can only assume there's a humanverse Sweet Apple Acres if AJ delivered that cider. Does this mean that in the humanverse Granny Smith and AJ aren't related?

    That is perfect. That is the best new term I have heard in a while. I suggest we start using this word, not just to refer to Brony haters, but to all haters who kick up their hatred to the point where it consumes their lives. And might I add, there are people who will be anti-fanboys of anything they can think of because for some reason it actually makes them feel good to make others feel bad. I will never understand that kind of person. I understand the rush you get from dumping on someone if you can at least justify it in your own mind that they have done something to deserve it, but anti-fanboys just go out hunting for strangers to hate for no reason. I don't get it.

    I wouldn't hire anyone based on their résumé, I would hire based on their interview. I would certainly give him an interview though, as his credentials look great. And I would probably hope that the interview would prove that he was the right candidate because I like to work with fun people who take things seriously, but only as seriously as they need to be taken and no more. The resume does just that. It does what it needs to do (outlines his work history and gives an idea of who he is), but it shows that he doesn't take himself too seriously. But that's just me, other employers may not share my worldview and they might axe him for not being serious enough. But if he's the sort of person his résumé says he is, he probably wouldn't want to work for someone like that anyway!

    Name: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic by TellTale games! TellTale makes awesome games. Their Sam and Max game is the funniest, cleverest game I've ever played. Protagonist: Twilight Antagonist: Discord Health/battle system: You can't really die in a TellTale game, you only solve puzzles. Even the "battles" are puzzles. So there would be no health bar, but the puzzles are made up of inventory quests and dialogue trees. Story: I'm not sure but it would be a mystery or a series of mysteries that Twilight has to figure out so the story is revealed as it goes along. Levels and rooms: Just like every other TellTale game. 3D open world. Special Features: Like other TellTale games it would be released in episodes. If you haven't played a TellTale game, you should look them up. They did a great Back to the Future game.

    I love Pinkie Pie because she is a goofy, comedic character who is a female for once. When I was a kid the silly/funny/crazy character who was always there when comedy was needed was my favourite character in every show. Michelangelo was my favourite ninja turtle, for example. But the comic relief character was always a boy! As a result, I thought that girls weren't supposed to be funny, or try to be funny and so I spent all of my time wishing that I was a boy because I wanted to be like those characters. Now I know that I can be as funny as I want to be regardless of my gender, but if I had a role model like Pinkie Pie when I was a kid I would have figured it out a lot sooner!

    I was thinking I might try to find some way to watch it live on a television instead of on my computer later. I live in Canada and I don't have cable TV so I don't even know if it's possible to get The Hub here. The last time I checked it wasn't on basic cable, but maybe I could make friends with some local bronies and we could get together and split the cost on a hotel room with American cable channels and have a season premier party! That could be cool.

    Like most people here, I think the reason Spike can talk as a dog in the human world is because he could talk as a dragon in the pony world. But you bring up a good point. The two worlds seem to have corrosponding species. By this I mean that the role which ponies fill in the pony world is filled by humans in the human world, and the Mirror turns ponies into humans and vice-versa when they pass through it. Therefore, the role of dragons in the pony world should be filled by a corresponding species in the human world. The Mirror seems to have chosen to have dragons correspond with dogs and so turn dragons into dogs, and THAT is what really makes no sense here because dogs in the human world are nothing like dragons in the pony world (ie, they don't talk). The human world of EQG is not the same as our real life human world, so the rules could be slightly different from ours, but Fluttershy seemed to imply that only humans can talk in their world so I guess it would be difficult to find corresponding human world species for all of the talking species from Equestria. Maybe the Mirror should have just turned Spike into a human too. Maybe the Mirror should just turn all talking species from the pony world into humans.

    Another South Park connection I forgot to mention in my first post was the episode where they used the word derp a whole bunch of times to make fun of Rob Schnider movies. I could explain it but it's easier to just link the video. So that and Mr. Derp were the first places I ever saw the word used. I looked it up and a couple of websites say South Park is where "derp" originated, but you can never be sure with pop culture history.

    I didn't even know that "derpy" is apparently an offensive slang word for developmentally disabled until that controversy started. Oh wait, that's because IT'S NOT! Those soccer moms made that up. The first instance of the word "derp" occurred on an episode of South Park when Chef quit his job at the school cafeteria and was replaced by a new chef named Mr. Derp. Mr. Derp was obnoxious in that he tried too hard to be kooky and crazy to entertain the kids. He would pull some stupid antic like hit himself over the head with a spoon and fall down, then he would say "Derp!" The kids hated him. After that, people started to use the words "derp" and "derpy" to describe buffoonish behaviour. That is why Derpy is called Derpy. I really dislike the fact that they officially changed Derpy's name in the canon.

    In my opinion, the ponies are generally a lot better than humans. Aside from the few villains we have seen, they pretty much live in peace. They never have major international disputes and the closest thing we saw to two sides having a war was when the Appleoosans and the Buffalo were fighting. And they solved that. In their personal lives too, their problems are less terrible than ours. They can be mean sometimes, but even Diamond Tierra, the meanest pony in Ponyville isn't anywhere near as mean as human kids can be. So I think the ponies only have some technologies and not others because they have common sense about what is good for their society and what is not. They don't have cars because they know that the pollution they would cause is not worth the convenience they would provide. They do have medical equipment because they want to heal the sick. They have electronics because they appreciate art and fun, but they don't have guns because (for the most part) they don't want to kill each other.

    I just got back from spending three months living in a tree planting camp. It was awesome. I love camping. Don't worry about bringing things to keep yourself busy so that you don't get bored. The point of camping is to do the things you need to to to survive and be comfortable like gather and chop wood, cook your food, set up your shelter, and then spend the rest of your time exploring the area or doing basically nothing. Go for long walks, go swimming and just float there looking up at the sky, lay in the grass and maybe take a nap. Nature speaks to you when you do nothing.

    I cried when I saw Tank carrying Rainbow Dash over the finish line. I guess I wasn't crying sad tears, it was just such a beautiful moment. It touched me.

    I think the fandom sort of already does all of the good things that a religion can do, without doing any of the bad things that a religion can do. A religion can be a tool to help good people come together as a community and better each other's lives. It can also be a tool by which the power-hungry can control the stupid and ruin society. I kind of like the idea of an MLP spirituality as a way to bring the teachings of the show into our everyday lives. I think that's pretty safe. But once you start calling it a religion it becomes organized and you get official doctrines and people start fighting. I think the ritual that Heretick-Tock came up with is nice, and the idea of writing letters to Celestial and burning them, but in my opinion, we shouldn't start a proper church. Small meetings of friends to do rituals together could be okay, but no hierarchies! Hierarchies are what ruined Christianity.
