Pony of the Month

[♫DJ PON-3♫™ 15]

Yesterday I was chatting with a fellow Brony when we thought of this amazing idea to get everypony familiar will all the ponies and show some support to those ponies that don't get mentioned as much or desire a little credit.

 

Q: What would we do?

 

A: We would start up a forum and talk about when that pony shows up in the show, what does he/she do, what makes he/she special, we would share pictures of that pony (if any), share our opinions about that pony, talk about how much and how does he/she affects Equestria, and share stories about that pony (if any)

 

Q: How could I show my support?

 

A: Well you could vote on how often you would participate in it and to show your pride for the pony of the month you should create a picture of he/she, write a story with he/she, make he/she be in you Role Plays, make a song and or about he/she, and change your profile picture to that pony.

 

Q: Why should we do this

 

A: So people can learn about new ponies in the background that they might have missed while watching an episode or one of the more common ones and so they get to know them better then just a background pony since everypony is unique and should be recognized. It is also possible one of the mane 6 could be chosen to be pony of the month.

 

Q:Will we vote on the pony of the month?

 

A: I think that if this really becomes popular and people like this idea then I think we will vote on the pony of the month. Sadly I won't be able to tell you how I will pick the candidates but I tell you when I can.

 

Any questions that you don't want people to see and only want me to read just send me a message and I will reply back to you as quick as I can. Also anything you send me with be kept between you and me and that's a Pinkie Pie Promise.

 

Q: Is this another popularity contest?

 

A: No it is not, this is where i will put a random number of ponies and we will vote on which one we should choose all of them will be not very well know so don't think that one of them will be Rainbow Dash or Twilight Sparkle.

 

Q: Will you do forum member of the (either month or week)?

 

A: Maybe i have not truly decided on that yet and not sure if enough people will participate in it but if you like the idea say so by replying in the topic or messaging me.

 

P.S. Please vote it helps out a lot and it means a lot to me even if you choose the 0%.

P.S.S. WUB YOU!!!

Its a cool idea, you might have a bit of trouble getting it started at first though, and I dunno how fast it will catch on or what. Its an interesting idea.

I'd probably participate in voting most of the time if it was a thing, but I wouldn't if I was busy or something.

Maybe we should have a forum member of the month to .

Anyways off topic. Its a cool idea, good luck with it I guess.

So.... A pony popularity contest?

It sounds less like getting to know NEW ponies, and more like bringing popular ponies more popularity. I really think it shouldn't be a vote... maybe like a random raffle or something. If your goal is to know all ponies you outta consider alot of them aren't known Thats just why voting wont work. If youre voting for something you know already, HOW are you going to meet/learn somepony/something?

Well, I read through the first three paragraphs and can already tell that some certain ponies wouldn't be chosen. :/ It's basically another best pony poll--of which, RD, Twi, or some other popular pony's going to win it.

 

I like the idea, though, of Pony of the Month. We could do something like that--say, for the forum user of the month. Good idea.

I would much prefer a Forum Member of the month as opposed to the FIM pony of the month. Mostly because when you're pleasing other REAL people, it feels much better than honoring ideological characterizations of a persona. If you were going to do a Forum member of the month, I would be 120% interested in helping out with choosing who gets the spotlight.

 

But then again, why make it forum member of the month? That's a bit long. Why not the week?

I see what you are saying and that is not what i mean by voting i mean i will pick background ponies such as FleetFoot and Pokey Pierce i would choose like 3 or 4 and then you can vote on which one we should talk about. That was my fault i didn't think people would think it as a popularity vote my bad . WUB YOU ALL

I think this is a very interesting idea that could catch on relatively fast if it gets enough attention. I feel like a lot of people would like to see something like this, and I would support you in making this forum. There should be some restrictions, because the same pony would most likely be chosen over and over again. Or maybe after a pony has been chosen, that one can't be picked for a while. Good idea none-the-less.

 

Instead of Pony of the Month, I think it should be Pony of the Week. OR even Pony of the Episode? Where we would spotlight a specific episode and vote on which pony contributed most (or was just flat out awesome).

Maybe we could do both like tell the owner about this and he could give a tag to the member of the week so they could be seen by everyone and not just a few. On top of that we could also do pony of the month so people could learn more about these ponies. WUB YOU

I would pick about 5 or so ponies and then when the number 1 pony gets picked i throw the other 4 back into a hat and then pick 5 more for the next month and put the one that won into a different hat where he/she will sit till all the ponies have been exhausted. Thanks for the input. WUB YOU Edited November 14, 2012 by ♫DJ PON-3♫™
