Group 32 - Las Pegasus

[Jeric 46,850]

After this Round we will have gone through all 32 groups once. Almost two months of voting and posting and laughing. Traditionally, this is the lighter of the rounds in activity too ... I can't wait to see what happens the further we get into this. 

 

As some here may not know, almost instantly after Luna showed up in Luna Eclipsed, riding a chariot drawn by Bat Ponies, a few /mlp/ denizens got together and created Midnight Blossom, thought to be the first fandom Bat Pony OC.

[Duality 10,739]

Well, looky which characters I singlehandedly put in the lead!

[The Kaeya Simp 13,988]

Sci Twi, Midnight Sparkle and Rockhoof

[Oleks 1,993]

Although the group represents Las Pegasus, it looks like Trapeze Star, the only Las Pegasus pony, isn't going to get many votes. Anyway, I voted for her, and I hope more people will embrace her cuteness.

[Mirage 24,747]

Sea Swirl! YES!

The 'Waldo' of MLP FiM. 

[Goat-kun 2,527]

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! Is that a good OC I spy?

I voted for:

1. Sci-Twi (Twilight Sparkle from EqG) 
2. Midnight Sparkle
3. Saffron Masala

[Totally Nyx 36,007]

No words, just this. :3

I know I requested a third of the participants myself, but this is still a tough group. 

I like Sci-Twi and Midnight

But I also like Midnight Blossom

And I like Sea Swirl

This is so tough. 

[ChB 18,550]

So Twilight will get two or maybe even three chances to win the World Cup. Lucky, Twilight!  

Not complaining, though. She's my favorite Princess!

I knew Sci-Twi was going to pull ahead of everyone else on account of her name and accomplishments, but I am surprised that Midnight Sparkle was given her own spot on this list seeing as she and Sci-Twi are the same person. I guess I shouldn't put too much attention towards it as having both move on would mean double the Twilight--actually triple if we include Princess Twilight who has most likely moved on.

Hey if Nightmare Moon and Nightmarity could get spots, why couldn't Midnight?

@Denim&Venom

My advice is to vote for one of the Twilight's, Midnight Blossom & Sea Swirl.

 

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,161]

I'm struggling between four character here. Sci-Twi is one of the highlights of EqG for me, Midnight Sparkle is probably my third favorite villain from EqG (and her design is tops), Rockhoof is a great Pillar, and Spa-waifu Aloe is <3, soon...hmmm...

[Frostgage 7,975]

Accept pink spa pone into your hearts

 

[MontagnaMagica 307]

Ew, Equestria Girls thing is in the lead!?! #NotMyPonies

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,161]

Well, in the end, I couldn't ignore Aloe. SPA PONY WAIFUS FTW!!!

Also Sci-Twi & Midnight Sparkle got the other votes. Rock hoof was REALLY close though; especially after his portrayal in the recent "Legends of Magic" comics.

[Jeric 46,850]

I would've never guessed that Saffron would be this competitive. Color me surprised!

RESULTS

 

Sci-Twi and Saffron Masala have made the Las Pegasus team. Midnight Blossom, Midnight Sparkle, Rockhoof, and Aloe all get a shot later down the line.  

 

 

We just completed the first leg of the World Cup Qualification events. You all eliminated 40% of the characters, picking 20% to be featured in a team. We lost some great characters this round (*cough* Grogar *cough*) but on the whole some of your choices were really interesting. I'll be putting up the Wild Card poll in a moment and will keep that up for about three days to give everyone some time to consider it and ask questions.

How interesting. It is only more of a shame then that most groups won't be able to play for an honest victory.

It's just a small attempt to simulate transfers/trades/waivers/loans and free agency elements found in professional sports.

I do wonder though what happens to the groups that shall receive no coaches.

Good question. The simple answer is ... nothing. These teams stay as-is unless and until someone decides to manage them, up until a specific cutoff similar to professional sports. I actually expect that only a few individuals will actively participate in this concept, but I wanted to put it on the table as an option. 

[Denim&Venöm 18,684]

Shame Sea Swirl couldn't make it. 

She was all geared up to compete.
