This is really humbling to me, thank you! ;-; <3

Silky would giggle at the returned wing hug and then blink once looking ahead as soon as Vibrant comments on other being too far ahead. "Wait a second," she'd look around. "Did I just hear the sound of a bus?

+ 10 steps = 243 !  woooh

Silky... I thought using motorized vehicles in the race was ILLEGAL! 

@Discord look at those cheatsy doodles by @Wizard and @Nitobit! I demand JUSTICE! 

(OOC: had to :3 no worries! <3)

Silky was cocky as she'd run forward and chuckle. She had already seen it all. Chaos, distractions and random snow... there was no way she would allow another challenge to get in her way.

Rolling under barrels and keeping her hoof-work flowing, she'd suddenly be hit in the face with a snow ball and that would stop her momentarily but she would still be ahead of Vibrant, to her surprise, she'd look back and see him face his weakness which was, apparently, agility.

Her strength. She'd giggle and run back and offer comfort and a wing hug.

Vibrant would continue rushing after her, doing his best to catch up. He still found his hooves moving rather erratically, adjusted to obstacle course that favored dodging and jumping instead of simple trot forward. He was picking up the pace albeit slowly. That's when he noticed her stopping and suddenly going in for a hug, which he, without hesitation accepted and returned. 

"So, darling, ready to win this race?" He smiled. We can't let those rascals best us!

*After making sure that Titanium @Wizard didn't harm herself by running into a barrel, Shiny Silvermoon continued her journey. However, it was a short return to the race, since she spotted @Ice Princess Silky <3 giving an hug to @Sir Hugsalot and wanted to join them. The joyfully bounced on her hooves, alike Pinkie Pie do, toward the two pegasus and tightly embraced them both without any warning.*

"You are both Silkytastic!"

Steps : 10 (No bonus and no penalty)

Total steps : 178

Total leaves : 115

"Says our darling friend c: Do not think this will allow you to win though! We are still winning this!" He grinned with challenge on his face

Total: 226

"Oh, a challenge, huh?" Vibrant responded to @Ice Princess Silky <3 "Don't think I will go easy on you, darling!"

He rushed after her down the left path, to the obstacle course, ready to take on the challenge and handle his weakness - agility. He found himself surprised by the fact that, while he still had to put much effort into his hoofwork, finding himself trapped and knocked over numerous times, he managed to get out of it relatively unscathed. 

As he finally dragged himself out from all the contraptions designed almost perfectly to slow him down he saw that the lovely pink mare was already ahead. She actually did beat him. So without further ado he rushed forward to catch up with her, while still feeling dizzy from all the jumping and dodging he just had to do.

Obstacle course roll:

Regular roll after the obstacle, no penalty applied

TOTAL: 212

Vibrant would rush forward and after some quick thinking he'd take the path towards obstacle course and shyly wave at @Ice Princess Silky <3 to follow him that way.

As for how I am feeling.. I’m very relaxed. With a book. On the couch but thinking of @Sir Hugsalotso decided to check my phone and check up on everyone here.  

>:o What were you reading! I need to know!

I am feeling very relaxed myself now. Brewing some nice hot tea to warm myself up before rest. Had a very fun day, playing board games with friends :3 

Vibrant would keep rushing forward, doing all in his power to finally catch up with those ahead of him. He still saw others, particularly @Shiny Silvermoon and @Felis Amafeles, but due to his recent exhaustion he really needs to put some effort in his trot.

I think I'm going to edit it to "A cinch and free lunch" I feel so bad doing an inside joke banter in a public space where it might look like we hate Aticus or something when it's actually the opposite. Rules still apply, banter is still the same... but shall change the title <3 Even though those in Australia will get the phrase. :3 

OH MY FREAKIN GOSH, SIR. NO XD

That freakin font ahahaha 

Marvelous, isn't it. Artistic and glamorous. A pinnacle of creativity. 

A PINCH AND A PUNCH FOR THE FIRST OF THE MONTH

@Aticus the Adequate

(Does it bother you that your name was said with two "Ts"? Please tell me it does )

As for my plans:

- buy christmas gifts for @Ice Princess Silky <3 and family :3 

- christmas preperation - I need to decorate the apartment D: 

- more physical activity, which is one aspect of life that's really lacking on my end

And then there's forums... I need to start posting more and become more active. Life for me is bumpy and some things are very time demanding (looking at you, my lovely job ), but I think december will clear some things out for me <3 I miss everyone here so much 

Also obligatory australian meme :3 

OOC: Catching up on missed days, courtesy of work taking up all my time D:

Vibrant would continue his decisive race, doing what he can to at least keep up with @Ice Princess Silky <3. The sudden erratic behavior of sun and moon caught him off guard, but when Vibrant is fixed on a specific goal few things can distract him.

RIKIFIVE

This one took quite a while, didn't it? What can I say, I really wanted to be sure @Cash In gets plenty time to have fun  No, there definitely was not any other reason for this! 

Seriously though, for this week's Staffer Of The Week, allow me to present to you the one and only, technical mastermind of MLPForums, meme virtuoso, wholesomeness enjoyer, silly pony and, of course, Wątróbka lover  - @Rikifive

Few words about Riki will not be enough, but I can still try. Rikifive was an absolute legend ever since he joined the staff. Any time technical issues happen, Rikifive is the answer. When it comes to maintaining the stability of our website, ensuring its various features don't collapse onto each other he's largely responsible from preventing such unfortunate incidents.

Many times it was his support that helped others learn how to navigate our forums better or handle any potential glitches we may be experiencing. Glitches, which, for a long time are more of a rarity than a daily occurrence. But his qualities don't end on that. Large reason for why he's so immensely helpful is because of how approachable he is. Often he doesn't even need to be contacted for help from the staff, he's so aware of what's happening around him that he steps in on his own. If that's not dedication to what he's doing then I don't know what is.

When he's not helping with technical matters related to the forums, the fun part of his personality begins shining. It already took several forms, like amazing browser games (particularly this one and this one) he made for our forums and for our users to enjoy. Speaking of that, check out his profile. Particularly the bottom part of his "about me" section. Enjoy

Now... as always a legend is required and with Rikifive there's a good one coming! Delivered by yours truly @Astralshy as of course he'd know Rikifive best c:

Actually, it is not just a good legend coming, but an ultimate legend as it is fitting for a person as important as Rikifive. Let’s start with the basics. He truly mastered the ability to siphon all the prowess and strength from glorious beverage known as "tea", achieving absolute full potential of its benefits, gaining strength and wits of gods themselves.. He uses this power for many things, next to boosting his technical skills it also gives him a masterclass skills in meme usage and ability to always have perfect image for any situation he may encounter!

I also have one from @Ice Princess Silky <3 :3

Legend has it that he does not like anyone to insult the sacred watrobka! Should anyone say anything less than good things… he will shoot laser beams from his eyes!

However, to quote myself, regarding Silky's legend...

That literally made me smile and giggle. I am thankful for you, Crypty. 

And it’s funny how you actually get me with this. Many people just groan or look at me like I’m weird for being this way.  Except for @Sir Hugsalothe leaves me in the dust when it comes to work outs and at one point he was the one waking me up at 5am for the gym while I just wanted to cling and snuggle longer D: 

I confirm that. I may've been waking up on 5 AM, but at least 30 minutes for snuggling was obligatory before any workout D:

I am an early bird :3 I love having as much day for me as possible. Going to bed late feels... almost sad to me. Like I didn't respect myself and my need for sleep. Yet waking up early, when most people are still sleeping is somehow fine  But it feels great and I will train you to follow that mindset, Silky <3

Silky DASHES through with leaves collecting behind her hooves as she rushes forward!

Steps: 114 !!! /)

Vibrant, seeing how she's going fast forward suddenly picked up his pace, his strength quickly returning to him as he pushes himself to give his all into his trot. As he speeds up he starts catching up with @Ice Princess Silky <3 and even sees other ponies that managed to gain distance. 

Much to his confusion @Shiny Silvermoon was actually... dancing? Dancing during the race? Most peculiar. He already made a mental note, that clearly those who ran so fast in the beginning are getting too confident, seeing a chance for himself and his love to catch up with them

"Come on, Silky, we got this, we can't let those rascals win!" 

Total steps: 112

Vibrant would keep trying to keep up the pace but for now it feels like he's still gaining his strength back. So for now he is merely trying to keep up with @Ice Princess Silky <3 who did manage to get in front of him. "You won't stay in the front forever, darling!" he said, challenging her

Silky was SO focused on the goal, she used the chocolate explosion as motivation to keep going imagining it as some end goal towards the finish line!





Guys I just realised I needed to update due to the penalty of my previous post!

- 5 (penalty) 75 + 8 = 83 !

Suddenly, she'd trip over and collapse against @Sir Hugsalot eating the chocolate, confused, she'd gasp. "Did we do it?! Did we make it towards the finish line?!"

Vibrant would release quite a gasp itself as his feast was interrupted. That's when he's struck with sudden realization.
"THAT'S RIGHT, WE HAVE A RACE TO WIN!"

He would grab @Ice Princess Silky <3by the hoof and pull her with him, completely forgetting that they're supposed to compete with each other for a moment. He still felt the cake batter all over his coat, slowing him down a bit

*Glancing behind herself for an instant, while leaping at an impressive speed, Shiny Silvermoon realized that she was ahead to a lot of her friends. To name only a few, there was @Sir Hugsalot, @Ice Princess Silky <3, @Felis Amafeles and more, to the mare's great surprise. She then tried to encourage them to catch up.* "Come on, guys! Don't let Titanium win, like a pink pegasus would say!"

What?! Someone else win?! FULL AHEAD, NO STOP!

On 2024-11-23 at 1:01 AM, Pinkie Pie said:

As the race was going on, a certain pink earth pony with a poofy mane and tail was preparing up ahead. This mare in particular was the super duper party pony of Ponyville, Pinkie Pie. "Ooooh~! I'm super duper excited to give everypony some cake and participate in the race at the same time!" Pinkie exclaimed, continuously preparing cake batter and confection into a giant party cannon. "Just a bit of chocolate here, some edible confetti there. Just a little more and it'll be perfect!" Pinkie smiled as she added more and more to the cannon. The moment that she had heard about the Running of the Leaves, she knew she had to plan ahead. After receiving the list of who would be participating, the pink mare knew that she had to go bigger than any party she had ever planned before. "It's a good think I brought Big Bertha with me. Otherwise, I'd probably need more than one party cannon for the occasion. Although, that does sound like fun, but maybe I can plan for that for next year." Pinkie giggled, recalling the times that she had party cannons stashed around everywhere in Ponyville. In case of party cannon emergencies, of course. She even recalled the time that she had placed party cannons inside Twilight's castle. She didn't manage to find them all, but that's what added to the surprise of finding one. Besides being blasted with confetti and the surprise factor, of course.

"Maybe I'll even add in those teeny tiny cannons just like when Twilight opened up the School of Friendship!" Pinkie grinned with a squee, feeling nostalgic as she baked. Once everything had come together, the mare rubbed her hooves together as she knew the time was upon her. "Okie Doki Artichoki! Now to lay and wait for everypony to make their presence and then the surprise can begin!" Pinkie whispered, hiding behind the trees so as not to be seen. Even Big Bertha was hidden without a trace, so that nobody, not even the racers or even Starlight and Trixie could see it. The idea was thought out by the planning committee and Pinkie was on board the moment she and the mention of cakes were brought on board.

The plan was for Pinkie to jump out to surprise the racers, while launching a giant pile of cake batter for the racers to enjoy. At the same time, they would have to traverse a slippery sliding path to continue on with the race, or end up in a triple decker chocolate cake mess. She thought it was a win win as they get to party with cake and eat it too. For the moment, everything seemed quiet. The tension was very thick, you could almost slice it with a knife. Her focus was cut short as she heard what was the sound of rustling from the pathway that lead to the race. Thinking it was the racers, it was time for her to make her move. "SURPRISE!!!!!!" Pinkie exclaimed, jumping out as she pulled the string to launch the cake batter sky high. However, the presence of the rustling was nowhere to be seen as there was nobody on the pathway. "Huh. That's weird. I know for sure I heard something. I hope I didn't miss the timing." Pinkie started, before suddenly breaking out into shivering and shaking. This was her tried and true Pinkie Sense and from her numerous combos, anything could happen. This shivering and shaking, however, could only mean one thing and one thing only. Whatever was about to happen was going to be a doozy.

Suddenly and without warning, the ground on the racetrack had begun to rumble and crack. Almost as if an earthquake and a stampede were taking place at the same time. "W-W-W-Whoa-oa-oa! T-Th-This is g-g-g-gonna be a b-b-b-big d-d-d-d-dooozyyyyyyyy!" Pinkie managed to say, before a good portion of the ground had given way into a sinkhole. The hole itself was a little deep, but it was still enough to climb out of. The rumbling itself had caused some of the leaves around the trees to give way and fall themselves. Effectively sending them into the sinkhole. The rumbling had soon stopped as soon as it had started and thus Pinkie's shaking and shivering had soon ceased. "Whew! Now that's what I call a doozy!" Pinkie started, before the massive amounts of cake batter had started plummeting towards her location. The batter itself had littered the ground before and after the sinkhole, while a good portion of it had landed within the sinkhole. Blending together evenly with the leaves, while some of the cake mix had landed on Pinkie. "I knew I was almost forgetting about something." Pinkie giggled, while using her tongue to lick the chocolate off of her with a hum. "Now that's the making of my best cake yet! I can't wait for everypony to enjoy it! Uh oh!" Her celebration was short lived as she had realized that the racers would soon be here.

OOC: Welcome everyone to your first obstacle! The path has been flooded with chocolate cake batter and a sink hole that has opened up. To overcome this obstacle, you must roll a D20 to decide your fate! A roll of 10 or lower will result in a penally. A 25% decrease on your next roll when racing down the track! An 11 to a 16 will proceed as normal. If you manage to roll a 17 or higher, than a reward will be presented to you! A 50% increase on your next roll when racing down the track! The effect of your roll will go into effect once you get through this obstacle. Good luck to you all and may the roll be in your favor!

Vibrant Grove hasn't even recovered fully yet and the very first thing that greeted him was a sudden... chocolake cake batter flood? "Oh come on!" He would huff with faked frustration as he couldn't help himself, but give it a little taste. It must've been a trick. Someone knew how much he loves chocolate cake... No matter... this much chocolate goodness cannot be ignored!

-25% to next dice throw. Total steps: 76

2nd roll to make up for missed roll yesterday. 25% of 4 = 3. Total steps: 79

Vibrant notices that @Ice Princess Silky <3also got caught in a flood. And much to his surprise she's... not enjoying the cake batter! In fact it's almost as if she didn't notice she's completely covered in it, moving her hooves with ferocity and competitiveness of a honey badger. 

That's when he realizes. Did she... get past him? 

"Oh no no no, you are not winning this easily, darling" he said in a non chalant, theatrical voice as he proceeded his wild pursuit, ready to compete once more!

23 hours ago, Shiny Silvermoon said:

*9 steps behind @Sir Hugsalot, there was Shiny who noticed that he slowed down. The unicorn sprinted a little bit, in order to get next to the pegasus and give him some motivation.* "You're very fast on your hooves, for a flying pony! I'm sure that @Ice Princess Silky <3 is impressed by you, even if she's too competitive to admit it! Taking a break time to time is the wisest thing to do, if you don't want to hurt yourself!"

Vibrant would find himself able to speak as his fatigue was still immense, but he managed to respond, albeit rather quietly

"Thank you, Shiny! I really hope she is, but I wish this was a break... I think I pushed myself a bit too hard. I will not let her win easily though, no matter how much I love her" he winked with a cheeky, competitive smile

*Silky would see the distant form of Vibrant becoming slower and this motivated her to become faster. As Shiny would say these words, the competitive glisten in her eyes would sparkle to betray her despite her words* Yeah, totally... take a break. *she'd wink at @Sir Hugsalot in a dubious but playful manner as she'd pick up the pace to go slightly faster. She'd flutter her eyelashes since fluttering her wings at him the last time almost disqualified her with the robotic Terminator pony @Rethajni* 



Steps in total: 60

 

He would notice Silky getting closer and closer to him and blush softly against himself at the prospect of close company of the pink pegasus. He was trying to pick up a pace still, but with poor results as his hooves definitely need a bit of a rest

"I love you, but don't think you'll beat me so easily, darling, this is a mere silence before the storm" He smiled at her softly, but also showing a hint of competitiveness, definitely fixed on making sure that even if she wins, it will be no easy victory. She wouldn't like such victory anyway, always appreciating the challenge

Total steps: 70

Vibrant would find himself tired after his very intense run, so he would slow down his pace, allowing others to catch up with him a bit. He would breathe heavily and barely have enough energy to check his surroundings D:

Total steps: 68

I keep rolling 12, what the heck. XD 

Silky would see a stampeded of ponies rush with deep focus towards the goal. She'd stop, the elphenite dangling around her neck giving a gentle glow. She'd gentle whisper something to it before smirking towards the group and rushing her way forward! 

(I'm just making a post before midnight. I should give a proper response to everyone next round <3 )

 

41 steps 

(fun fact: I also rolled 12 today :3)

Vibrant continues to trot as fast as he can. However, what he noticed is that @Ice Princess Silky <3 is picking up the pace, managing to continue at the same speed as he does. "Now the challenge begins" he whispered to himself, smiling, knowing that his darling still apparently has plenty tricks at the ready to become a challenging opponet.

Total steps: 63

Vibrant Grove would resume his steady trot. He noticed @Shiny Silvermoon doing spellcasting shenanigans, fortunately she already had another pony to catch in the spell - @Wizard. Using that opportunity he further picked up his pace, both to use the distraction Shiny Silvermoon caused and to avoid being the next pony targetted by her magic. He'd also look behind to see if @Ice Princess Silky <3 is still behind him and would notice @Rethajnikeeping quite close distance as well. 

Total score: 1+19+13+18 = 51

Silky could see Vibrant become cheeky and she smiled. Taunting him with a playful dance as if to celebrate a premature victory. 

"I am SO gonna win this!" 



But hark! 



He volted too far ahead and she'd gasp seeing him take speed for a moment. "WAIT!" She'd then chase for a moment before seeing @Shiny Silvermoon who was near @Sir Hugsalot moments ago before he dash. "Shiny!" She'd give a little forehead bump. "There you are!" With a bright smile. "We can't let him get away or he'll beat us!" She'd giggle and then look towards the moon-like unicorn.

*Silky would gasp at the Kirin* "Oh look, Shiny! It's Silver! Do you two know each other?"

"What, you thought my initial stumble will secure your victory? Oh, darling, the competition is only starting!" He winked at her playfully and continued on trotting... before he suddenly turned around and responded to her dance with his own...

(thank you @Rethajni )

*Being given a boost from @Ice Princess Silky <3's forehead bump, she was now running with her sister. Her goal wasn't to win but if it could make Silky happy, then it was worth it.*

"Oh hey, Sis! Glad to see you back on track! To answer your question, I recall seeing him but I don't truly know him, even if he has a really nice color on him!"

*Encouraged by Silky, Shiny Silvermoon's leaps became two times faster. She gave her maximum to be in front of @Sir Hugsalot and she was so successful in her attempt that she was now near the lead of the race.*

"Hi, @Wizard Titanium! How have you been?" *She asked to the mare, now right next to her or almost. Her tone wasn't playful, it was sincere.*

(Oh my gosh don’t melt my heart guys) 

if Silky had known that @Silverspark184 and her sibling were so far behind she would have turned around to keep the two on her back. If she had known that @Shiny Silvermoon FINALLY FOUND A POISON JOKE SHE WOULD HAVE DARED HER TO TOUCH IT! ( >:3 )

She would have found what @Wizarddid quite commendable.
 

she would happily tend to @ThatFestivePone’s need for a potion. But right now, nothing existed in the world except making sure @Sir Hugsalot lost to her in the race! 

( you guys are doing amazing and I’m sorry if I missed some of you but I will definitely catch up with you later if i did  >:3 )

He would sense @Ice Princess Silky <3's competitive nature. They both started quite hilariously, but now it's time to continue the race. As much as he would be happy to see the lovely pink pegasus win, he's not going to make it easy for her.

"Catch me if you can, darling!" He shouted playfully to Star Silk as he started trotting with newfound energy.

Silky would gently shake off any excess leaves from her mane and spit some out before nodding quietly towards his comforting tone. "I'm fine! A momentary set back," sudenly she'd gasp to his last question and retort with, "Oh, you wish! I only tripped cause I looked back to see you already finding excuses for why you'd lose." She'd smirk and test out how her hooves were feeling by trotting over to Shiny to give her a quick hug and a smirk "Thanks for being my sister, Shiny! Now let's show these folk who's boss." >:3 

"Me? Losing? Please. I will allow you to gracefully stick to me for 2nd place, but victory is mine!"

He would smile gently after that display of playful competitiveness. Despite what he says he actually would be more than happy with her winning, he just doesn't want to make it too obvious. 

@Shiny Silvermoon"thank you again for help, I really appreciate it!" <3

*Shiny immediately stopped herself and went to check on @Sir Hugsalot. She saw him trip in his hooves, since she was going slowly to admire the beauty of autumn.*

"Are you alright?!" *She asked, as she gave him an hoof to help him up.*

Y...yes, thank you! He says as he notices that @Ice Princess Silky <3also fell. He gave @Shiny Silvermoon a quick bow of gratitude and said with urgent tone "excuse me!" as he quickly approached Star Silk.

Ahh... guyss .. I rolled a

  

I blame @Sir Hugsalot

A mischievous smirk would touch the corner of Silky's lips as she's narrow her eyes with that competitive gleam in them that only Vibrant would know. She'd look forward with determination and charge forward full force. 

Resisting the temptation to spread her wings and glide, she'd suddenly notice that the galloping sounds we no longer behind her as a sudden crashing of leaves were head. Silky would look back and suddenly notice that her partner had tripped and crashed into the leaves -- the sight of hi cockiness crumbling so soon was so abnormal for her to witness that it caused her to follow in shortly afterward as she'd trip over her own pink hooves and tumble forward ina pink and purple ball of fuzz and feathers! "MEEEEEP!" Ahhhhhhhh 

Vibrant Grove would help his lovely pegasus get up and gently hold her. "Are you okay? Looks like we really are inseparable" he chuckled softly, while still making sure there are no injuries. 

Seeing as Silky is in pristine condition despite the fall he would put on his mischievous smile and ask "so... ready to be defeated?"

Vibrant Grove would look at @Ice Princess Silky <3 with competitive gaze. He loves her a lot, but he won't let her win the race! He'd never hear the end of it if she bested him! 

So he braced himself. He was so ready. He will be 1st. He already sees them going, hoof to hoof with him being on the lead in his head

But as he starts...

He trips over his own hooves and falls into leaves, becoming completely buried by them, landing in glorious, last place in the race, with even @Shiny Silvermoon's peaceful little trot being faster.
