Thats the point grand the groups arent supposed to be onesthat would avoid conflict

Each one was planed except for grand and starburst they where just left over...

See if you can tell how

[Grand_Finale 529]

wow, theres some interesting combos if we were to do three in a group

I'm just playing around with it right now, and I can see some pretty interesting scenarios

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

Missy, Steel and Siren would end with two people getting killed, try and guess who they would be.

[Grand_Finale 529]

Well, heres a few interesting ones Ive come across

 

Siren, Lightstreak, Steel

Moon, Grand, Missy

Starburst, Sirius, Siren

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

Moon, Grand and Missy: ALL THE YES!!!

[Grand_Finale 529]

[dashian500 194]

Nice I'm petting my dogs

Stephan will NEVER forgive Starburst for what he's about to do.

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

He might not have to, if Stephan would stop being so impulsive, if he would just slow down to think about the aftermath of his actions.

You think he hasn't already?

He's about to tell Grand that he's moved on. He knows it might hurt her, but he'll get it off his chest.

[Milk Wave 454]

NOOOO :c

I like our two pony combos, even if it's Missy, Grand, and Moon. I want Stephan to be with Siri :c

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

But you said you're going to tell Grand how you feel about her. And Starburst is trying to convince him to give her space, just for tonight.

I just neighed at something. I'm too pony!

[Grand_Finale 529]

ive grown hooves

[dashian500 194]

I say we use my pairs it will be great

So I've decided to create something I like to call "episodes" in my posts. They're a series of recordings that span twenty to thirty recordings or "present day" posts. All of them will offer choices, choices that affect the ultimate fate of my OC and everyone else in the flashback.

 

There is no right or wrong.

 

Also, I need to clarify two things:

 

1. A Deus Ex Machina is not always bad, though it shouldn't be overused or used obviously to escape death. There are some cases where it's justified, like the Avatar series, Bleach, Final Fantasy, the Far Cry series, the Mass Effect series, heck, even MLP. But if you're going to make a Deus Ex Machina solution, make it justifiable, plot twisting, or otherwise on a cliffhanger.

 

The solution is not Deus Ex Machina when the situation is solved by logic, common sense, assistance, or critical thinking.

 

Example of non-Machina: Zeta is locked inside a room in which Steel is about the blow up with methane tanks. Desperately, he notices a suspiciously bolted wall. Remembering he had his "emergency" coins in his pocket, Zeta uses the bit quarters to unscrew the screws; as he takes off the concrete wall, he finds an air duct. His ticket out of here.

 

Also an example: Lady heard Zeta's muffled screams; in shock, she yells back to him. After some form of communication, Grand scans the room for a key, though she could not find one. Having little choice, she breaks her hairpin in half and uses it to pick the door's lock.

 

Chekhov's Guns and Chekhov's Skills do not count. If it's stated that Grand could pick locks or rig mechanical doors, it's not a Machina. If it's stated that she was holding a C4 that she took from a dead soldier and throws it on the door (but what about the shrapnel that'll accidentally hit Zeta?), then it's not a Machina.

 

2. I don't make long posts to condescend other people's skills. I do it because it's fun to write things, a lot of things. There's nothing wrong with making short posts, but it should be descriptive and reasonable so it doesn't cause BS.

I still don't understand why you need to put them in this RP thread. Why not put them on fimfiction, they could stand fairly well on their own merits as a story.

[dashian500 194]

Yea And I might read them

[Grand_Finale 529]

Jesus, those are some quick gaurds XD

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

Ponyville isn't a very big place. Besides, lockdown is still in effect.

[Grand_Finale 529]

Oh well, At least she'll go out with a bang

make sure Fires there when she gets caught

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

Edited my post, bye-bye Siren Song. If you don't mind that is....I'll change it back if you want it prolonged.

[Grand_Finale 529]

Just kill her off in your next post, I dont want to drastically alter mine XD
