    "You're tearing me apart, Twilight!"

    There you go again, Internet, showing me things I can't do. Amazing painting, just let me get on my hands and knees and stroke your ego. You had to play the Princess Twilght card.

    ~~~Flashback to Three Summers Ago~~~ TopQuark - (at computer) Huh, Terraria's only two dollars. Looks pretty fun. TopQuark - (to Dad) Can you buy me this game? Dad - Not now. TopQuark - 'Kay. ~~~~~~~ Now I'm kicking myself.

    It'll certainly make for an interesting stream. I don't have the game yet, and if I do get it (either by winning it or buying it like a decent human being), I'd have to set up Steam in Wine, because I don't have access to, nor do I want access to, a Windows computer. By the way, who's POV will be broadcasting?

    She is my least favourite of the Mane 6, and probably even below some supporting characters. I don't find her design or voice all that endearing, nor can I relate very well to her personality. I do like her, but she just doesn't strike me. However, I can respect anyone who adores her, and I do find her interaction with other characters good for the most part, especially later in the series.

    I find it rather depressing that I can't think of one person (male or female) that really stand out as a "good person". That being said, there is one female I know who is hard-working, strives to achieve goals, talented, and generally kind. We share many interests, and even exchange a few words once in a while. I don't think being asexual means that you have no interest in persuing a romantic relationship, but I'm no expert on the subject. People often misconstrue my lack of interest in relationships as asexuality. I've turned down a few girls in the past, so people find it odd that someone can be heterosexual and not want a girlfriend. Truth is, I'm far too busy anyway. Did you mean that your asexuality is preventing you from having a romantic interest, or something else? (For that whole paragraph, the "Speak with Caution" alarm was going off in my head)

    From intuition, I can make simple meals (egg-based things, fried meat/fish, salads, etc.), but I can make anything that comes with clear and precise instructions. I often work with hazardous chemicals, so I get a little antsy if I'm not following instructions, like the cake I'm baking is going to burst and give me third-degree chemical burns.

    My single most painful physical injurey would probably be the time I slammed knees together with another kid in 7th grade phys. ed. I pulled the short straw of the collision, as his knee cap hit a less armoured part of my knee. It was badly sprained for about a week. I've also badly sprained my right ankle a couple time, leading to minor chronic pain. That's not including my infection-related ailments; I've had some doozies. The most inconveniencing injury I've ever received was a few months ago when I was opening a can of soup with a pull-tab. The lid was bending off wrong, but I kept pulling with my index finger. When it popped off, it gashed my outstretched thumb. After about fourty five minutes of living with my own haphazard first aid skills, I finally got to the hospital to get six stitches. The whole experience was actually not all that painful; the nerves were apperantly severed, so the cut itself wasn't that painful, and the local anesthetic for the stitches did its job. The worst part was the dull ache it gave me for a month and the pain from whenever I forgot not to use my right hand. I couldn't do much writing in classes, and had to get a techer to scribe for me for a major examination. One of the best parts of being Canadian, if you get sick, you don't have to be scared for your wallet to get yourself sorted out.

    But what about the boss fights? One group might summon the Eater of Worlds (I think that's what the worm boss is called) and it could run off and terrorize a group of less progressed players.

    For clarification, will the Terraria give-aways be Steam or GOG codes? Also, how is the server going to work on a player-interaction level? Terraria is more story based than Minecraft, so that could make things a little complicated.

    Failing grade nine English through a lack of trying. It may not seem like much to some, but personal failiures affect me far more than peer criticism or bullying. Early on in school, I developed the tactic of being a noble gas; don't react to social abuse, and the problems will either go away or get swept under the rug for future solving. It seems to have worked, as any bullying I've recieved since then was purely happenstancial. So now, the only one close enough to me for their opinions to hurt is myself. If I fail at something that I set my mind to, I really berate myself. It doesn't even have to be important; I was once livid at myself for a week for not managing to crack a code. If that's true, then may I congratulate you on not falling into a life of depression and suspicion. I've seen people's lives ruined by less than that.

    For the past few weeks, my pageview counter has been sitting at 950. Before, it seemed to climb about five to ten views a day. Maybe I'm just being paranoid. It doesn't bother me too much, I just thought it was a bit odd.

    Sixteen more days until I can go back to living in sin, or whatever the yoof are calling it these days.

      I'm on vacation in the Czech Republic, and I can't wait to come home and get back to accomplishing nothing.

      By the way, are you going to BronyCon? You're page says you live right in Baltimore.

    Probably a lot easier (and cheaper) to use those candles in the shape of digits. @@Daring_Do Beat me to it.

    While easily replacable brain matter is a step in the right direction, more is definitly required to extend avarage lifespan. Dying of "old age" usually consists of major organ faliure. This is not just completely natural, but pre-progemmed into our DNA; it's designed to shut down the organism after its normal lifespan. By the nature of cell replication, each cell generation becomes progressively more mutated, making it more difficult for the system to operate, exacerbated by accumulated damage from the environment, such as radiation and smoke inhalation. If the body let itself get as old as possible, it would literally be asking to become a carrier of cancer and disease, as the mutated immune system would barely be able to function. So if you want to live to be two hundred, cell rejuvenation would probably be the way, along with a few other theoretical processes. Always nice to be better able to repair our brains, though.

    You Unicorn elitist. What about the hard-working Earth pony who just want's to check their AOL?

    Hey, if I can get even a mention, I've still won something, right? Although, the possibility exists that I wont be able to finish it in time, as I leave for Europe on Monday, and won't be back until August 1st. Then, I need to prepare for BronyCon. I can write about a thousand words an hour while writing off the top of my head, and faster with a story outline, so if I work hard through my trip, I just might be able to pull it off. You remember the two-button type writers? My theory is that you hit the keys at different angles to type different characters. That would require alot of different angles to have a decent selection of characters, but maybe the Equestrian language has fewer letters than the Latin alphabet.

    Perhaps, but I was really in love with my idea. I suppose I could still write it for kicks, but where's the fun in not having others recognise my 'artistic genius'? Do you think there's a chance I could still be elegable for the contest, but forfeit the honour of being canonized if, by some stroke of devine intervention, I win?

    Okay, that just sunk my whole vision. I was going to go for more of a pre-microelectronic world (manual film procesing/splicing, tube radio) dominated by magical devices. As for the sibling thing, my idea was to have Viola and Viridian be sisters. That's disappointing; just as I was getting hyped to write this thing. If making sure that the world types line up is going to be a problem, maybe it would be a good idea to set a few more parameters so that one author doesn't include something that should be impossible in another authors story.
  21. TopQuark
    Just one question before I begin my drafting; would it be too out of line to make two of the mascots siblings? I know that it said in Wordplay's bio that he's the only one with siblings, but I have come up with a (hopefully) interesting dyanmic between two of them as sisters. Also, I was about to have the story take place several decades after season one, but then I realized that would have been an awful idea logistically, as this has to stay congruent with other stories. Thankfully, it's not integral to my vision (although it would have been nice). However, I have come up with a plot device involving cutie-marks, so I just hope that we (the writers) will be allowed to play around with that.

    Leaving for Europe on Monday. My presence shall be sparse until August.

    I'm Canadian too. That means everybody has to worship me today, right? In a few hours, I'll be eating the traditional free cake and ice cream distributed at the local park and planning my trip to BronyCon.

    HASB = the Hearty Association of Salty Buccaneers. This reseach association was founded in 1624 when Black-Beard the pirate decided to devote his life to science. HUB = Huge Unexpected Boom collider. It was named by the same team who named the Big Bang. At the time of the Ziggs' discovery, the MLP project was being lead by Head Researcher Lauren Faust.
  25. TopQuark
    Well, the Higgs field gives bozons mass, so the Ziggs field gives brony particles their energy. However both the Higgs and Ziggs are their own anti-particle, so the Ziggs can give bronies positive creative energy, or negative butt-hurt energy. It was accidentally discovered in 2010 by HASB's HUB collider while experimenting with a new isomer of the MLP molocule. It's not rocket science.
