searching A Friendship Delegation

---

 

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna have decided that the time has come for Equestria to make peace with the Changeling Kingdom. They have asked Princess Twilight Sparkle to organize a delegation to journey to the Changeling Kingdom, and offer their friendship to Queen Chrysalis. The journey is long, and there will be plenty of challenges ahead.
 
The following ponies are part of the delegation:

• Princess Twilight Sparkle played by Vital Spark
• Applejack played by Red Cedar
• Fluttershy played by WindyParadise
• Pinkie Pie played by Pink Mist
• Rainbow Dash played by Moonbacon
• Rarity played by BlinkZ
• Florafilla played Dsanders
• Riley Blythe played by Rainbow Eclipse

All eight playing character slots are currently filled, but I will open up a few more for ponies the delegation meets along the way, and for changelings once we get closer to their kingdom. If you'd like to play, reply to this topic, telling us which character. You can choose any non-alicorn side character or background character, or you can use an OC if it's a canon-like earth pony, unicorn, or pegasus. (No robotic ninja bat-ponies please.)
 
This RP is likely to have plenty of adventure and exploration, but very little violence. Romance is not ruled out.
 
The slots are filled, and I expect to post the first bit of narration in the next few hours.

Sounds like fun. I'd like to volunteer to play Applejack, please.

I wouldn't usually prefer to have to write 800 characters for every single post, and I wonder if making this an advanced roleplay (there different settings and RP categories that you can choose from) was intentional. Most of the other RPs that I'm in are being either neglected or poorly played out. For the most part thankfully, I can see some real potential in this one. I'll participate

 

I would like to play as my OC, Florafilla The link to her profile is in my signature. Oh and here is a picture of her

Nope, not intentional, but I don't know how to remove the "Advanced" label (nor add the "Searching" label). Maybe I should ask a moderator?

 

When the RP starts, it will be in the normal roleplay section. For the most part I'd suggest 800 characters is a good length to aim for, but I accept that sometimes you don't have that much to say, and a shorter response is all that is required.

If you edit the first post and use the 'Full Editor' button, you should see a 'Prefix' drop-down that you can change.

Yes, that's exactly what I'd normally do, yet no drop-down appears.

@,

 

May I enter with Riley? Link in siggy,

Fascinating. :okiedokielokie:

 

I'll take care of it for you, and ping the tech team to see if they can figure out why you can't.

[VitalSpark 1,830]

 

 

May I enter with Riley?

 

Yes. As he doesn't live in Ponyville, he won't be with the Mane 6 to begin with. He can board a train at Manehatten and will meet the others at Canterlot on the way.

[Rainbow Eclipse 3,927]

@,

 

Sounds like a plan!

@@Fhaolan, for what it's worth, when I look at the source code for the Full Editor page, I see this:

<li class='ipsField tag_field'>
   <label for='ipbTags' class='ipsField_title'></label>
   <p class='ipsField_content'>
      <style type="text/css">li.tag_field{display:none}</style>

So it's like the forum software is deliberately hiding the field from me.

Got a quick response. It's IP.Board (the forum software we're using), doing it's normal daft thing. You're in the Christmas Donor group, and that group's permissions are overriding (rather than enhancing) your normal permissions. And the ability to edit the Prefix/Tags is permission-based. The admins and techie-types are looking at it right now to see if there's a reasonable quick fix, or if it's going to have to go on the long list of IP.board bugs to be worked later.

This seems pretty interesting. I'd love to play Pinkie Pie

You're in!

 

Now we're just waiting on three more volunteers. If we don't have all the slots filled by the weekend, I'll start anyway and handle the missing characters as narrator until someone turns up to join in.

[WindyParadise 59]

I'd like to be Fluttershy. If that's alright with you? 

 I mean, if you don't want me to be then that's okay too...

[Moonbacon 384]

[WindyParadise 59]

This does look like a lot of fun. I'm glad I spotted the thread early enough to join. 

[VitalSpark 1,830]

[BlinkZ 1,151]

Not sure why i'm asking but umm Trixie maybe.  I'm not sure I could do rarity well enough. Just curious.

Trixie's not involved at this stage. I'll put you down for Rarity and then we can begin!

 

Anybody else who is interested, please do leave your name below. There will be opportunities for more characters to join in along the way. (And also for current players to control a second character if they want.) We'll even have a few changeling playing characters later.
