Yeah this just happened

At least you might have some Pro Pinkie sentiment helping you out. 

That completes what I'm calling the Nightmare Conference. 

I'll be back soon. 

You wrote our team's name wrong. We held a group meeting. It's not Team Las Pegasus anymore. It's

Sometimes the simplest of methods are the most effective like choosing who is in what division. On the same note, it looks like Sunset's group is in the B Division if I have this correctly.

[Jeric 46,835]

Time to finish this part up! 

New Conference and Division E! 

 

And the first team in Division E is Maretonia!

And next up is Ember and the Dragon Lands joining Maretonia in Division E

[Jeric 46,835]

Baltimare pops on over to Division E. 

And Glim Glam and her two team of support characters round out the first Conference I call the Harmony Conference. Just because I need a name .... everything can't be numbers and letters. 

... 

Wait ... 

Spike vs Ember 

Starlight vs Sunburst

 

O_o

 

[Jeric 46,835]

Division F is next and we still have some strong teams left. 

And of course .... Seaquestria ... well unplanned goldfish theme not feels planned. Sigh.

Not to mention a real rivalry:

Chrysalis vs Starlight!

Time to face your Kingdom again, Queenie!

[Jeric 46,835]

And we finally pick the Princess of Friendship. Twilight and company are in the same division as Seaquestria with Queen Novo. 

 

Yeah that is going to write itself. 

 

Also, my snacks are falling in love

 

 

[Passion 3,478]

This... is not going to be an easy group. I have a hunch.

PS: Jeric should open commission shop.

[Jeric 46,835]

Division F now welcomes Derpy and the Tenoschitlan Basin 

I couldn't spell that earlier. Sue me.

[MangoFoalix 24,898]

This thread is amazing so far. Jeric's art skills are pretty impressive.

[Jeric 46,835]

And to complete Division F is Canterlot and Princess Celestia. Whoa. A Queen and two Princesses. And Derpy. This division is stacked. 

Also poor third wheel. 

 

 

And Division G begins with a team that has Daybreaker and Nightmare Rarity. 

THAT NOPONY JOINED!!!!

SERIOUSLY .... ITS DAYBREAKER .... AND NIGHTMARE RARITY ... ITS LIKE A MATCH MADE IN FIREY SHINING HEAVEN! 

 

Dream Realm is in Division G

Lol

 

Our Town and the mustache brigade joins two power antagonists. Also 800 points for me! 

And MANEHATTAN IS IN THE SAME DIVISION AS .... 

 

.... 

 

Okay .... That's gonna be fun. 

And I'm giving you neck pain all .... because I messed up. 

[Jeric 46,835]

And to complete the penultimate division is Vanhoover. 

... 

I got nothing.

I'll take it for 10!

[Jeric 46,835]

And this happened. 

Oh well. 

 

So instead of releasing one at a time ... being there is only four left ... 

 

Here is the Final Division...  H

[Fhaolan 4,468]

Best laid plans of ponies and fishies.

This is going to be... an interesting event.

[Jeric 46,835]

This is a easily the silliest thing I've done on MLPF. I think. Anyway, I'll post the full break down in the OP and be posting the schedule tonight. Tomorrow I won't be around much so I want to get this wrapped up so you all can start your friendly trash talk.

 

[Nye 1,652]

That was quite entertaining to read. I loved the little messages you did @Jeric!

[Toastypk 920]

So who faces who first in every section if there's four per section? The first two and the second two? How will that work? 

I noticed you haven't done any graphics at the moment btw, are you intending wanting to do that? I've been itching to give it a shot. I've done graphics for board events before.

Every team will play all three of their division rivals once in a Round Robin style.

The Badges were done, and I am working on flags now. One member created a banner. I am working on MANY MANY design elements now. 

Each team will need the follow

Badge (done)
Flag (in progress)
In-Match Header (conceptualized as each character on a team facing the other)
Banner for the site
Roster graphics (has to be the same design style for every team)
 

 

 Multi-Team things I am doing include

Conference Groups (in progress) 
Standings sheet
Top 16 Bracket sheet

 

My biggest project is actually doing the launch video which actually will require several of the above to be completed. 

[Toastypk 920]

I had an idea dawn on me today for something I will do with my team to supplement everything, but I suppose I could extend to other teams if it works out.

I was reminded of pre-fight lines as if from a fighting game. Or more specifically, I was reminded of the Mega Man X4 cutscene look.

Simple enough to make. For instance: since sunburst and chrysalis will be against one another

[sunburst image] I won't let you capture my friends again!

[chrysalis image] You will become part of my new hive!

I'm making the three Baltimare match line images. (specifically since Starlight and Sunburst are going to be against one another, I wanted something to do)

(though it occurred to me if I did this for everyone, that would be (6 matches * 8 sections) = 48 of them. o_o

Quick question. Is this a:

Who do you like better?

Who would win at soccer?

Or a deathmatch?

@Jeric

With the beginning of the tournament just around the corner, I feel it's worth mentioning that there are a few users who never got their team badges. I'm sure our tournament-running overlords didn't forget, but a friendly reminder is nothing if not friendly.

Anyway, I looked through all the teams and it seems that @Sparklefan1234, @Sunlight Glisten, @Starlightglimmerfan19, @kewlman2006, and @Rikifive, as well as myself, have not yet received our badges for this glorious event. If possible, it would be great to be able to show off who we're rooting for as we root for them.
