    Due to my ancestry, I have off and on been attempting to learn Scottish Gaelic.

    White Spot. (I'm Canadian. So is the burger place. Google it if you're curious. )

    I want to start by making it perfectly clear I am loathe to make any kind of suggestion here. To this day I count first making a suggestion in this forum to be the worst thing I ever could have done on MLPForums and I have regretted doing so ever since. The only thing worse than the usual poor reception to any suggestion I make, whether helpfully or sarcastically, is how elements of what I do suggest have often been incorporated anyway with precisely zero acknowledgement. At least somebody ends up looking good for my efforts. So for me to foolishly put my neck on the chopping block once again, it is because I believe what I am talking about is on the same scale as an African elephant occupying a very small apartment. Roleplay participation in Equestrian Empire has dropped off a cliff, and was doing so before the switch in forum software which corrupted the character database. This has even been evident among roleplayers who play cast characters, and have a (supposed) minimum post count per week that they are supposed to maintain. A quick glance at the dates of posts in many roleplay topics will tell you that has not been the case. Activity is nearly at a standstill. To stimulate more roleplay, especially the high-quality roleplay that EqE is supposed to attract, my suggestions, aside from the obvious one of fixing the character database as quickly as possible, are: Abolish the minimum post count requirement for cast characters. Roleplaying is supposed to be enjoyable, not a chore, and it does no one a service when roleplayers are forced to make quick, brief, hastily thought-out posts to satisfy a minimum. Lift the cap on the number of people who can roleplay as any cast character. I've said before I have no intention on giving up playing Applejack, but how many other people who might have roleplayed in EqE didn't bother because their favourite character was taken and they can easily and readily play them in Everfree? I have tried to increase roleplaying in EqE by offering to start a thread with anyone who wants to, especially those playing cast characters. Only two have taken me up on it. All I want to do is roleplay more, especially since that's all I can hope to get by posting here. I've done my bit as a simple user. It's the staff's turn.

    Twenty degrees. That's not a typo. I'm Canadian.
  5. Red Cedar
    I'm not. The Applejack episode I've been waiting for was due to air this weekend. Darn it!

    I'm Canadian. When I first started watching MLP, even though the show's animation and acting are done right here in Canada (in my hometown, no less!), the episodes did not air on Canadian TV until six months after the start of the season, when the whole thing was in the can for the HUB Network (which we cannot get in Canada). Try avoiding spoilers for that long, and you'll see why I started pirating in order to watch them on time and be able to join in conversations rather than shunning anything to do with the fandom. (I buy them later on DVD.) Sorry, but the fact that shows are now airing in Canada a few weeks ahead of the U.S. really doesn't make me sympathetic.

    Well, now we know how they're going to explain why Starlight Glimmer isn't in the movie.
  8. Red Cedar
    Wouldn't even consider it. Nothing in common, and she'd be way, WAY too high maintenance. Almost any other, but not Rarity.
  9. Red Cedar

    There is such a thing as too much Rarity.

      I think so, I'm already wishing for it to be over

    Big Mac is larger and quite likely stronger, both due to his size and being an Earth Pony, but Shining Armour has training and, as a bonus, magic. I'd give the edge to Shining Armour if it came to blows (not that it likely would).

    All the character pages formatting has been removed.
  13. Red Cedar
    Could you switch the avatars back to being square? I know this is possible.

    As was already said, I imagine it's be like a tooth or a fingernail, or a horn on any other animal. The horn itself is dead and won't feel anything, but there would be nerve endings around where it attaches to the skull, so a gentle pressure or sharp jolt might cause some feeling there.

    As he said, though, he's recording this week (the tweets were posted March 17), and the directors have been quite up front about the fact it takes about a year for an episode to go from being written to being in the can ready for broadcast, so that would fit the timeline perfectly.
  16. Red Cedar
    Yeah, well, what are they gonna do? Cause a public relations crapstorm by suing him? It's not the worst thing he could have blabbed about.
  17. Red Cedar
    The tweet is genuine, I checked, so I'm hoping that means they are good to go.

    Season 7 is coming, and none other than Discord says this:

    Twilight seems to have plenty to keep her busy, so she's not exactly a couch pony all day every day. She also appears to eat well, rather that put away the cupcakes like Pinkie Pie, so that helps.

    The producers seem to have taken all the Flash Sentry hate from the first film and acted on it. I wouldn't expect much out of him any more.

    While I would like to pair up those who had a history together when they were younger (Rainbow Dash/Fluttershy and Applejack/Rarity), the truth is they are too unlike each other to be best friends, even though they share some common traits, so my ideas are: Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie - Both have a joie de vivre and share a love of pranking, which makes these two a natural together. Rarity and Fluttershy - These two have a great deal in common, due to Rarity's fashion knowledge and Fluttershy's "freaky knowledge of sewing". They also share a lot of down-time activities as well. They seem the best matchup for each other. Twilight Sparkle and Applejack - Okay, there's a little bit of the Country Mouse and the City Mouse going on with these two, but at their core, both are sensible, no-nonsense ponies who like nothing better than to get a job done and done well. They compliment each other far more often than not.

    According to Wikipedia, the record longest-living non-human mammal was an Asian elephant who lived to the age of 86. These elephants normally only live to 50 and the longest life expectancy is normally 70. The oldest horse on record supposedly lived to 62. The oldest mammal that is closest to humans was an orangutan that lived to age 55. Tortoises, however, blow us out of the water on a regular basis. The oldest was believed to have been over 250. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest-living_organisms While the average life expectancy through most of history was around 30, this is because of an enormous (by modern standards) child mortality rate. If you eliminate the deaths of those under the age of five, life expectancy got much closer to around 60.

    Applejack blinked, and then blinked again. Not too many farm hooves came dressed the way he had. "Uhm, this is Sweet Apple Acres, all right, and I'd be happy to have the help, but don't y'all think you're a little overdressed for workin' in an orchard?" she asked. A pegasus picking apples from the sky would be a big help, but still a dirty, sweaty job.

    The announcement of the episode with Applejack's parents came with a couple other pieces of information: first, they're seen in a flashback, and second, there is also going to be a character named Old Grand Pear, which I would guess would be Applejack's grandfather on the Pear side of the family. It's probably a story told through him. Personally, I hope they finally, truthfully, confirm and come out and say that her parents are dead. I'm not meaning to be a horrible person wishing this on Applejack, but the show would take a big leap, in my mind, if it had a character that younger viewers who had lost one or both parents could relate to.

    Hans from Frozen, hands down. Gaston was so over the top you knew he was bad news, even when he had only winning a girl's heart in mind (for totally the wrong reasons, but, hey, no one makes a sexist pig of himself like Gaston), but Hans was cold, calculating, deceptive, and had everyone (except, perhaps, Elsa) fooled until it was almost too late. He's definitely the best of Disney's animated villains. (For non-animated villains, ironically, it's also someone named Hans. Dr Hans Reinhardt from The Black Hole. He was a man whose obsession caused his good intentions to quite literally pave his road...)
