Shanks 10,816 January 18, 2013 Share January 18, 2013 (edited) It looks like most of the ponies I voted for are winning, Twilight Sparkle is winning by the most impressive margin so far while Octavia is and Fluttershy are a few points ahead. Lyra is slightly ahead, but Applejack is still very much in this race and to keep this going I will add a little more eye candy with some more Applejack pics. http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/018/a/a/applejack_wild_hair_by_up1ter-d4mry1h.png Edited January 18, 2013 by EarthbendingProdigy 3 Rarity Get's Cockroaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Old Head 4,816 January 18, 2013 Share January 18, 2013 Okay, in all seriousness, where has Spitfire's gargantuan fanbase vanished off to? I'm not even voting for her to spite Octavia's defeat of Pinkie, I genuinely think she is miles more attractive. Look at her. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Master~ Button Mash 2,307 January 18, 2013 Share January 18, 2013 Yeah I was wondering the same thing. Unless Octavia fans are a silent majority that just aren't very vocal. But still...dat Swedish Spitfire. (I'm on my phone, someone else needs to post it ).

Kamil 315 January 18, 2013 Share January 18, 2013 Fluttershy, Y U NO stop getting votes? I don't want to resort to drastic measures here, it's too much work. But Rarity needs to win this! This space intentionally left blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akemi Homura 7,680 January 18, 2013 Author Share January 18, 2013 I hope Fluttershy beats Rarity just so I can look at the priceless faces of her fans after this round's over There will be rage, and lots of it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antismurf9001 1,271 January 18, 2013 Share January 18, 2013 Yeah I was wondering the same thing. Unless Octavia fans are a silent majority that just aren't very vocal. But still...dat Swedish Spitfire. (I'm on my phone, someone else needs to post it ). You forgot to factor in Octavia's bowtie. Octavia doesn't need a massive fanbase when she has a bowtie like that. (I swear I'm not joking; for some reason unknown to me currently, I really like that bowtie. The purple eyes are cool too.) 1 "Ceterum censeo background ponies delendas esse" - Stellafera Credit for the Octavia vector goes to the awesome Harmonic Revelations Credit for the creation of my avatar and signature goes to the amazing Wubsie Once again, thanks!

spas-ticShotty 3,584 January 18, 2013 Share January 18, 2013 How the fuck is Applejack still losing ? I mean, don't get me wrong, Lyra is pretty and all, but............what? Applejack is pure Southern beauty. I mean, just listen to that voice. Look at her mane, her eyes, her accent, her everything. Lyra...........is like your average girl .

TailsIsNotAlone 3,695 January 18, 2013 Share January 18, 2013 There is nothing average about Lyra. Her design, her enthusiastic fan response...everything about her screams, "why am I not on this show more?" xD Octavia has surprised me, pleasantly I might add. I mean, Spitfire is cool and all, but I thought her mystique wore off a bit with Wonderbolt Academy and the voice sounding different. Octy and that bowtie...damn, that bowtie makes her design, good as the rest of it is. But Lyra has not surprised me. I knew she would have a fair shot if we got her this far. I do look at those Applejack pictures, BTW, and in other circumstances they might have swayed me--but I sway nowhere now. I stand up for who I believe is cutest pony. AJ works at the Acres all day, but Lyra also gets back to nature... 5 "Human beings fascinate me Being just the way they are..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyra...........is like your average girl .And maybe we just find the Average Girl to be more attractive. Not saying that Lyra is average but still. In all honesty, I'm really not that big of a fan of the Southern style. I like Lyra for because A. She has an awesomely beautiful name, B. Her color scheme is just incredible, and C. she is more like a spontaneous, fun-loving character and I rather like that Edited January 18, 2013 by ~ds8~ 2 Thank you Nas for the sig :3 #HugWoona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concord 1,982 January 18, 2013 Share January 18, 2013 Hello! One does not simply not vote for Lyra! People, how can you resist this? Definately the best background pony to me. Ofcourse, i have to thank the community alot for making me think so 2 Thank you MatrixChicken for the Signature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spas-ticShotty 3,584 January 18, 2013 Share January 18, 2013 Jesus Christ, people. Sometimes, I think this vote is rigged . Like, it's the same with Flutters vs. Rarity. I'm surprised someone as sexy as Rares is being beaten' by Flutters. Anyways, more AJ pics to help the cause. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinx 2,292 January 18, 2013 Share January 18, 2013 Lyra is like your average girl That's the side that appeals to people, she's your girl next door. I was never a fan of the southern girl style, or anything to do with that mindset. Lyra's also got a certain air about her that's appealing pertaining to her Lyre cutie mark. Her color scheme is amazing, especially that mane, and her eyes accentuating her cutie mark is amazing. Lyra is spontaneous as where Applejack is reliable, some ponies just want to have fun. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, to appease your apparent, outlandish anger I'm gonna say that while I do think AJ is atttractive however, she is the rugged kind of attractive and to be honest, that is really not what I am interested in seeing in a woman Lyra on the other hand, is the Bright, bubbly, and adorable kind of attractive which is definitely what I love and what I am looking for in a lady 3 Thank you Nas for the sig :3 #HugWoona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spas-ticShotty 3,584 January 18, 2013 Share January 18, 2013 You guys are no fun >:c. The fact that Lyra beat Rainbow Dash (She did, right?) is astonishing enough, but for her to beat Applejack is even more. If AJ loses, and Lyra either beats Flutters or Rares in the championship or whatever........you guys are all boring as fuck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinx 2,292 January 18, 2013 Share January 18, 2013 Boring is hardly the word I'd use to describe Lyra's rise in this tournament. Astonishing is on the other end of the spectrum when compared to boring. Questioning someone's win in a prior round is the lowest of the low. Here's some more fanfare for Lyra. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If AJ loses, and Lyra either beats Flutters or Rares in the championship or whatever........you guys are all boring as fuck The very idea that Lyra, a mere background pony, could defeat the mane 6 in a contest of attractiveness is what makes this so exciting. Just about no one believed Lyra would get anywhere in this tournament, she barely even qualified, but now she's giving all her opponents a run for their money. Defeating Rainbow Dash was no small feat. I think Lyra's got a decent shot of going all the way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Dasher 149 January 18, 2013 Share January 18, 2013 Applejack can background pony better than an actual background pony when she wants to. That alone just shows how awesome AJ is. Applejack, untamed! Honest, hard working, buckin' sexy, southern drawl, blonde, apple-bucking-tastic best pony ever. Twilight is a no-brainer. As much as I hate Octavia beating Pinkie Pie, there was a good reason at least and it's the same one for me picking Octavia over Spitfire. To explain the Fluttershy vs Rarity face-off, it goes like this. Fluttershy is to Supermodel as... Rarity is to Designer Rarity designs pony clothes for a reason, so supermodels like Fluttershy can show them off to the BEST of their ability. Supermodel wins. 2 Ponies make it impossible to sleep.

Antismurf9001 1,271 January 18, 2013 Share January 18, 2013 (edited) Wow, the voting is dangerously close for all of them except Twilight (poor Vinyl...). Rarity and Fluttershy are even tied!

Has every round been this interesting, or did I just happen to come in at the exciting part? The Wild Card was pretty intense itself - lots of ties to begin with but eventually, ponies started pulling away from their opponent. This round has definitely been more intense, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Dasher 149 January 18, 2013 Share January 18, 2013 Applejack - "The loyalist of friends and the most dependable of ponies." Saves town from total destruction with her legendary herding skills. Rainbow Dash - "I thought I was working with Ponyville's BEST athlete." Straight from the ponies mouth. Pinkie Pie - "Plus, I have Ponyville's prize pony to help me out. Why, she's the best baker ever. Right Applejack?" Also, Humans want to be her, while Lyra wants to be a human. That's how awesome Applejack is. Vote for Applejack 3 Ponies make it impossible to sleep. "My stomach was making the rumblings, that only hands would satisfy."

That whole intriguing story is here (http://mlpforums.com/blog/213/entry-2609-full-wild-card-recap-most-attractive-pony-tournament-2013/) and the short version is it's just her time, Spas. There was a time when a lot of people didn't notice Octavia, Vinyl or Spitfire either. Another background pony is beginning to shine. A lot of people thought she was adorable all along and now that she has a chance to make a difference in something as big as this, the board is responding. It doesn't make Dash or AJ any less awesome than they were before. It just means that their domination of the screen time does not have to equal domination of our hearts. ^^ And Jinx, your pictures made me squee. Squeeing is unmanly. Now I have to post a macho pic of Lyra to redeem myself. "Give me all your DAWWWWWWs. Slowly." Edited January 18, 2013 by TailsIsNotAlone 3 "Human beings fascinate me Being just the way they are..."

spas-ticShotty 3,584 January 18, 2013 Share January 18, 2013 (edited) Honestly, another vote for Lyra? The one with no real special trait? The pony who literally only appears in the background and really doesn't have anything unique other than that pose where she sits like a human (Which Applejack also did )? *I was gonna post a "Forums, I am disappoint" pic but Memegenerator is being an asshole :c* Applejack - "The loyalist of friends and the most dependable of ponies."Saves town from total destruction with her legendary herding skills.Rainbow Dash - "I thought I was working with Ponyville's BEST athlete."

Vote for Applejack We need Clari/Dawnpath/Stellafera/Haven/all the other AJ fans to gather up as many people as we can. I won't settle for a loss >:c.

And that's the whole point of a forum, to voice your opinions. Otherwise the whole point of this forum would be moot. And Jinx, your pictures made me squee. Squeeing is unmanly. Your logic is flawed Tails. Squeeing may be an unmanly act, but admitting you squee'd... definitely is not. Honestly, another vote for Lyra? The one with no real special trait? The pony who literally only appears in the background and really doesn't have anything unique other than that pose where she sits like a human You're basing this on the show Spazzy, stop that. Go look at the art and read some fanfics, this tournament isn't limited to the canon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
