  1. A thing I learned from this forum today.

    Bullying is acceptable.
    Reporting bullies is offensive.

      Bullying is impossible to defeat. Since it is more than one person acting against someone. Your own word against a group of people bullying you, and you think a report action can save you? I have chosen never to report anyone, and instead hope that the staff deals with the troublemakers.

      We are all friends here, on the friendship forums :rarity:

      How does one celebrate gunpowder day? do they go hunting or what? :huh:

      Heh, no. Well originally it was one of those odd propaganda-ish holidays in the U.K. that celebrated the day a plot to destroy Parliament (using a crapton of kegs of gunpowder) was thwarted at the last minute. The old celebrations involved annually tossing effigies of Guy Fawkes (who was the antagonist in the plot) into fire. Other kids dress up as the character and in a pseudo Halloween style tradition, will ask for money with the phrase, "Penny for the Guy?" The money donated was to purchase fuel and pyrotechnics for the festivities. Lots of revelry was naturally involved too, so maybe think like a much more mild version of 'Burning Man.'

      Since then, like with a number of national holidays which people later realized were kind of brain-washy, it has evolved greatly into something else. For some it's now a celebration of patriotism, not just for the winner of such plots or struggles, but the loser as well. 'V for Vendetta' cemented this new vision of Gunpowder Day into a sort of celebration of rebellions against tyranny. Guy Fawkes masks are now common at protests and also the symbol of "Anonymous" as a result.

      For others now though it's simply an extra fun day to shoot off a ton of fireworks. :mlp_smile:

  3. Friday the 13th, unofficial semi-annual classic 80's horror day. Be careful out there. But hey, with the full moon, you'll at least be able to see him coming. Probably.

  4. Alright now I'm curious. I easily recognize those parts in your avatar and the name is familiar too. Were you involved in #SaveCoH?

      Ohh, OK. I had just remembered reading somewhere in that very VERY long thread that a solution was almost reached. But then, that could either be rumors, hazy memories, or both.

      It was probably wishful thinking and optimistic predictions. We had a lot of those back in the day.

    4. BornAgainBrony

      BornAgainBrony

      Yeah, true. Very true.

  5. Chapter 2 of the Team Moon Saga: Applejack's Lament.

    It began as a promotional piece, but then grew into something much bigger, spurred on by the announcement that S9 was going to be the end. :(

      @Sparklefan1234 I know you told me that you weren't directing anything at me with that post a while back, but that image of AJ in that "party sad" meme really stuck in my head and probably had at least some influence on where this vid took me.

      I don't know if you had seen this yet, but... I hope this was a worthy tribute to AJ's joining the team.

      Awesome video, My Friend! :o

      Keep up the great work! :mlp_yeehaa:

  6. Another video project for the World Cup. Releasing tonight! Go Team Moon!

  7. Just noticed your old Tambelon post. Dang! First time I bumped into anyone else who knew about the Electric Castle.

      I'm not sure which Tambelon post you're refering to, but i love Electric Castle, or anythign ayreon put out so far for that matter

      In the Well of Tantalus. "Welcome to the New Dimension," as a theme song for Grogar.

      Funnily enough, these days, "Across the Rainbow Bridge" makes me think of Equestria.

  8. This is a call to those of you who responded to my last Team Moon post. Voting is up for our latest match, Moon vs. Trottingham!

    And here: a project that has been in the works for some time. Team Moon has a message for the world. Feel free to share this. Put it in a status update if you wish. Let the universe know that Princess Luna needs our help!

      Sweet Celestia, things definitely went too far there! :D

  10. I removed the current discussion and reposted it as it would only cause more confusion if I left it as is, so apologies for the revised version of the message. Jeric closed all the teams to new players as of just an hour ago. None of us saw it coming. There 'might' be a final wave of invitees, if we're still alive at that point, and if so, I'll send a new notification if you want. As it stands now, the new status message can only request affirmative replies from users requesting to be added to a notification list, which I will use at the right times. Thanks for giving me a heads up though. I had just gotten a non-teamed user to test the function for me within the last hour, and everything was working then.

      okay sounds good, and I also read your updated version as well and brohooves it :mlp_smug:

    Dear former instructor. You have received this message because you were previously a coach on Team Moon in the Pony World Cup.


    You may be unaware of this, but due to a series of regrettable occurrences which resulted in a dangerous reshaping of the dreamscape that has entrapped us, all teams were partially disbanded. No direct communications were sent from any source to notify those who were displaced of what took place, leaving little besides breadcrumbs of information to be found, for those who were fortunate enough to stumble upon them.

     

    The purpose of this message is twofold.


    First of all, this means yes, you lost your position on the team as a result of the spacial rift. Due to reasons beyond our control, teams are presently closed to new invites.
     

    Secondly, Team Moon may have been thrown off balance by the unexpected tremor, but we have regrouped, are still fighting, and aim to pursue this tournament to the very end, and put an end to Grogar's treachery once and for all!
     

    If you are still interested in serving the greater good of Equestria and joining with Team Moon once again, simply respond affirmatively to this message with a post or a brohoof/emote, and I will send you notifications for when our matches are active, so you can easily remember to cast your vote without the need to regularly check the World Cup section of the forums for updates. If team invites open up again, you will also be notified so you will have an opportunity to jump in during the short window of opportunity.
     

    If you have no further interest in this endeavor, I shall not trouble you with these matters any further.
     

    Regardless of your decision, may the Light of the Moon guide you through your darkest hours.
     

    Thank you for your time and for the support you showed me during the time you have already served on Team Moon.

  17. That avatar, is that actually a heavily-modded Rapunzel?

      Yes. :)

      I don't know where I found it & I can't seem to find it again. :sunny:

  18. I got very bored today: The wild world of Buckball, according to the spirit of the "Top 16" pre-game taunt-fest...

  19. It was one of those days when the dice just really want to give you a bad day. Tales of Equestria tonight. DERPY... managed to out-fly my Pegasus and vanish beyond sight. Dash will never look at me the same after this humiliation.

  20. That "ultron" meme banner actually makes me kind of anxious. Metaphor or literal, doesn't matter. :(image.thumb.png.6327be023c9454cd691227ca2ce02a29.png

  21. The fandom is dying?

    Here's what I say.

  22. Well, it's now official. Flight, hotel, badge all bought. My first Brony convention. I'm going to Ciderfest! :mlp_yeehaa:

  23. More artwork done in the ARK online game. The front gate of my personal abode, "Fort Canterlot."
