Hi Lex

[FortyTwo42 1,287]

So, a quintuple dethrone! I guess I have to begrudgingly congratulate you on that; that's the highest dethrone there's been for a long time. You guys have been busy! And you've been talking a lot more too, so I have a lot of comments to respond to. Let's get right into it!

 

 

I START THE NEW COUNTDOWN WITH 1 IN THE NAME OF THE EMPEROR!

You were an emperor before, weren't you? I know I'm responding to your post a few days late, but I saw it much earlier on and I swore you were an emperor.

 

 

Ooh what's this? Our evil overlord 42 has gained the attention of an emperor? I'll just sit back and watch the ensuing bloodbath and collect all thee shinies afterward.

2

Yeah, ThunderColt's calling you an emperor too! It happened, right? You were an emperor at some point, right? I'm not going insane and developing false memories from an elaborate ploy, am I?

 

 

3

 

Over my dead body, heretic.

Yes, fight among yourselves! It's always a nice bonus for me when my foes create more enemies out of themselves!

 

 

All yours. *touches all the shinies I find*

6

Just random shiny floating objects 42 put all over the place. He claims they're traps but I've only been hospitalized by them twice.

9

Yes! My traps worked! Although I thought I put traps in a lot more of my shinies. I suppose you're still lucky in a way, considering you weren't hospitalized even more times.

Here's Cinnamon with her customary scary post of the day! Yes, I'm grinning widely right now, why do you ask? I don't have any kind of internal pain!

the "Both in line for the throne" was a metaphor for our rivalry unless you are wanting a full blown war? (of which the last one I had, I stood toe to toe with stormy haha damn that was fun)

 

and I understand haha I have very little time lately too ¦) just remember....

Does not count.

 

38.

Actually, my approach to counting errors is to just ignore the error and keep counting as if they got it right. The post still counts. The punishment for counting errors is public humiliation as I point out their inability to count.

 

 

2

Can I at least keep my shinies? *begging face*

Umm... Only the two that hospitalized you. I want the rest back.

 

 

No. 

 

5

Alright, that works too. You can't keep any of the shinies. Return them all now.

 

 

7

 

Okay fine. Take them. I don't need them anyways.

Or, let's forget that happened and go back to when you were giving me all of them except the two that hospitalized you.

 

 

You're the best! You can keep some if you want. (*whisper* they're not actually mine)

8

Of course they're not yours! They're mine! Give them back!

 

 

87

Seems an appropriate time to say it. Four score and seven minutes ago I had a dream! Bonus points if anyone recognizes the quote.

Was the quote any chance from a speech given by this lovely mare?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYHuBkuTZQ4

 

Yes, I know it's a reference to that historical speech by Abraham Lincoln.

I see the 'brohoof everything' strategy has begun again. I'm noticing a pattern here: Whenever you start doing that, my lair goes down in flames.

 

 

126

And that's it! The triple dethrone! My space lair is now officially conquered! Oh boy, now I need to come up with a new theme...

Uhh...

Well, you just had space, so now I think it's time for my Time lair. Be careful you don't get sent back in time to the start of your raid, or worse yet, cause a temporal paradox!

 

 

170

Enough!

Hey, that's my line!

 

 

171

 

OK ¦(

So, this is when the picture battle begins, right? I'm pretty sure there's a limit on how many pictures you can have in your post, so I'm going to need to be very picky on which pictures I actually respond to. Besides, if I tried responding to every single picture, I'll never finish making this post.

So, I just realized your pictures were attachments instead of links to the URL like Trottermare did, which means they don't show up nicely in these quotes. Although on the plus side, I don't think these count towards that picture limit per post.

you know I'm saving the better ones for when you pull something fantastic haha

 

 

"by Lyra-senpai"

No! Not ponies with socks! They're too cute!

Well, it's not showing up here, but this was another really cute picture. For those who want to see the image, just click on the arrow in the top-right of the quote to go back to the original post!

This one actually made me chuckle. Good job!

 

 

221

 

 

 

oh that's too bad my friend haha to bad indeed......because I posted that about 10 minutes ago on the "Respond with a picture" post *tut* *tut*

 

 

""by pridark"

There's a 'respond with a picture' thread? I must partake in this! Well, when I'm not so busy.

 

 

223 

 

no yet my friend haha take your pick?

 

 

"by Rain-Gear"

If I had to pick a winner out of all those images, it's this one. I absolutely love this image! So many beautiful effects!

 

 

224

 

Alright, you asked for it!

 

medium (1).jpeg

That was a pony with a triforce on their flank. I am a sucker for all things Nintendo, so this image is a close second for me. Oh, and the faux caution message was pretty good too.

 

 

233

Sorry but the double Lyra pics came after I chose the winner. But also since I'm just a little (super very) biased toward Lyra pics let's call this one overall a draw.

And someone said 230 twice, so lemme just fix the count with this post

Just remember, if you want to win cheaply by appealing to my biases, post something Nintendo related. That should create an instant favourite most of the time. Or if you can't find something like that, something maths or science related would probably work well too.

 

Also, good job spotting that counting error! Here, have a 42 coupon as a reward! Currently, they can be redeemed for absolutely nothing. I'm working on it!

Hay @FortyTwo42 who do you think won the pic war? (you know since it is your thread and all) and if you can be bothered what where your 10 favorite pics from it too?

 

Removed because picture limit - 42.

 

"by zaiyaki"

Well, I've reached my picture limit for this post, and making this post has taken so long that I'll need to head off now. But perhaps later, I'll go back through all those pictures in the picture battle and make a new post with my top 10 list! And then maybe I can join in on your picture war too?

(quite the long post so I removed everything I'm not commenting on and adding asterisks to make sense of what comment goes with which part)

 

* There were quite a few more with traps, I lost a hoof here, an ear there. But only two were severe enough to require immediate medical attention.

 

** Yay, it's only the dangerous ones i wanted to keep anyway. And don't bother checking the ones i'm returning to you for traps, there's no way I'd do that. 

 

*** It's actually a quote from something else that was referencing that famous speech, hence the "minutes ago" instead of "years ago". I'd insert the clip but I have no idea how grab just a tiny portion of a video. Let's just say it's from the RWBY episode Best Day Ever.

 

**** The supermarket and space lairs offered easy access to bad decisions, maybe this time I won't need a hospital before we take you down.

 

***** Ah you've made a mistake giving me this coupon and then providing me with wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff to play with in your lair! Now when I accidentally send myself to the future where everyone will remember the world's greatest supervillain 42, this thing will be worth a fortune and I can retire to a life of unsurpassed luxury!
