Bananas... everypony we know and love is disappearing by our own hooves, and you're talking about bananas? 

Answer the question

And you've been playing it well. Too well. You seem to relish in victory, yet feel little remorse for those who have perished. Does that weigh on you, like it does us? Do you remember their faces in your waking dreams as they fade into the either? Do you ever look at yourself after every game and wonder just what you have become? 

The jovial tones of you and your sister seem to prove the contrary. 

Bananas... everypony we know and love is disappearing by our own hooves, and you're talking about bananas? 

They keep it jovial specifically BECAUSE of that which you speak of. We hold onto the hope that all of this is temporary. Yes, Luna feels the pain of all that have been lost. By the time I arrived on this team, it was eating away at her. Princess Luna once tortured herself nightly for the acts she committed as Nightmare Moon, and this tournament was beginning to bring her similar guilt. Fortunately, between myself and having her sister back with her, things are better. Dare not try to send her back to that internal torment; it is a cruel and monstrous thing to do to any creature, and poisoning the only guide through the nightmare realm that we have with thoughts of remorse and doubt. You should be ashamed of yourself. Such anguish leads to NOTHING but destruction.

Temporary. Temporary? None of this will be temporary. How can any of us forget what we've done? How can any of us look our loved ones in the eyes again after we sentenced them to fates worse than death? Even if we win, this game will haunt us to our graves. 

Dare not to send her back? Why not? She should be there with us, her people, or what's left of them. She's happy once again? Good to hear, good to hear. Let's throw a celebration. We'd invite our friends, but our three teams have managed to banish them all to the abyss. I'd get us some cake but all our bakers disintegrated. I'd leave it to somepony who actually knows how to throw parties. But we all know how that turned out in the meeting for your team's annual budget. 

Shame? We'll begin to feel that after we've won. We'll apalogize for the monsters this game has made us. Beg for the forgiveness of everypony we stood against in our darkest hours. But right now we feel no shame for stating the cold hard truth to a team that is unworthy of the task before them.

And destruction? Who's? Yours? You're just an obstacle to the world's salvation. Ours? Why should you care? The winner will mean the same thing to you. Tambleon's? Wouldn't that be a cruel twist of fate. 

If you can't tell, we're all a little cold and numb for what we've been through, so we're pretty indifferent to whatever heresy we commit before your god queens of ponykind. The only thing keeping us going is the drive to make sure we don't betray the memory of all we lost by giving up. That the hope for making everything right is never lost. 

I imagine that's the only thing that's one of the few things keeping any of us going.

Just one more game.... just one more game....

An ace so skilled, she helped team moon reach the semis without even being on the roster. 

 

Whoops. 

I must've been thinking about something related to Lunashy when I made that comment.

It would be nice to do a Team Moon version of this 

 

The followership of the moon!

Do not mince my words. The torment I spoke of is internal, and prone to any creature, anywhere. I was not referring to the soul prisons of Tambelon. And would you show the Element of Fun the same animosity for throwing a party that you show Luna for having a quick laugh at a fool's expense? I doubt it.

You speak different stories from either side of your mouth. You claim no time for shame now but also condemn those who find alternate solutions to it. Yes, as you say, the time for remorse is not now. Yet you punish Luna for failing to have remorse now.

However, things will not be nearly as dark in the end as you fear. Luna has explained it multiple times. Once we awaken, the memory of it will fade, just like any other nightmare.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

Let's go ponyville!

It's so close

[Nye 1,652]

Good luck to everypony in the near future. Regardless of outcome, we will beat Grogar.

Y'know, we probably would. Heck, we wouldn't be surprised if she even barked at me for trying to lighten the mood. The pink one has also been known for her emotional outbursts. 

And please, your team isn't feeling shame. Your team is proud of what you've done. And we never said that now wasn't the time for remorse. Quite the contrary, remorse is what separates us from the monsters. The feeling that drives us further to end all this. 

And we hope you're right. Cause some nightmares last a long time. 

Just ask the Tantabus if nightmares truly fade.

Did the lead change while I wasn't looking?

If by lead you mean Ponyville is ahead by seven votes, then yes. x3

But if you expected the tables to turn and Team Changeling to take the lead again, they haven't.

Yay for Twily!

So Ponyville managed to take the lead? I'm surprised as I didn't think that was going to happen. There's still about half a day left before the poll closes so some surprises could still happen that can turn this match on its head.

[Will Guide 21,360]

When the voting close, I simply hope Friendships won't be broken because of one team winning over the other.

Awww, I'm sure that could never happen. x3

I don't even have many friends on the forum because I'm not here all that often.

[MangoFoalix 24,957]

Wow, gee. This sure is a close one. I still think I know who is going to win though.

Keep believing in yourselves TCK!

We will see this tournament to it's end!

*smirks* Come get some!

[Ganondorf8 11,307]

It's gotten even closer now since I last checked. Guess this is going to go down to the wire. Either way, my superior is loving every moment of this and thus revels in the sheer anarchy being created.

Oh yeah. I still haven't voted yet. I really should get on that soon.
