2014 MLP Forums MARCH MADNESS TOURNAMENT (NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP)

[An Old Head 4,816]

I love Pinkie Pie, she is by far my best pony. However, I am disturbed by the actions of some of the Pinkie Pie side in this contest. Leaving aside all of the other stuff, the allegations of people creating new accounts from other sites just to vote strikes me as...shady. I don't like that, because it's not what MLP fandom, or Pinkie fandom, should be about. I messaged ghostie to apologize on behalf of the Pinkie fanbase for the actions of the few who went way beyond support and strayed into cruelty, but as a show of unity and a statement about what MLP fandom SHOULD be about, I have deleted my vote and recast for Rarity, and I encourage some of you to do the same. It will, hopefully, remind some people that friendship is important, and not winning.

 

Allow me to offer a counter-argument. On behalf of the staff I now consider this a good time to say that we have been looking for duplicate accounts or people scheming to collab with other websites to gain votes, after XFizzle publicly disapproved of it further back in this thread. Please bear in mind that they are allegations. You'll have heard it from one person to the next, but I wouldn't lose faith in your favourite pony or their respective fanbase based on that.

 

Well, we put up a fight, Rarity fans. Nothing to be ashamed of here

 

At least we fought honestly and didn't go below the belt or anything like that. We're the real winners here

Ghosty, I'm sorry, but this is downright generalisation. Are you willing to look at the bigger picture? We have hidden the posts of, and spoken to, everyone involved with Nazi references. They shouldn't even consider themselves Bronies at all from our standpoint. Please do not let the actions of a few speak for a collective.

lol I made my Wingnut before you joined the forums. My Wingnut is based off the Detroit Red Wings

 

You should have told me sooner.    But your Wingnut would actually be a better ponysona for my Deviantart friend WingDiamond who's a huge Red Wings fan.    Unfortunately, he's not a Brony.

The allegations may or may not be true, but the Nazi posts are a matter of record (or at least they were until they were deleted). I know that this was the action of a minority, and that most Pinkie fans are great, fun, nice people like you and me, but I just wanted to do this as a reminder that our friends on the forum are more important.

Question: Where was the option for Doc Fizzle?

[Batbrony 16,052]

Rarifans, fight, fight, FIGHT!!!  There's still time left yet to win this thing!  DOWN WITH THE PINK MENACE!!! 

 

[Noire Panzer 3,526]

Question: Where was the option for Doc Fizzle?

I concur I would like the option for The Doctor

[Stellafera 3,836]

Question: Where was the option for Doc Fizzle?

 

If you voted for Doc Fizzle, why are you even opening the book

 

You've already won

I'm still annoyed by the fact that you're looking down on a whole group of fans because like 2 people posted nazi stuff.

 

You guys are making it sound like all of us has been mean which is absolutely not the case.

 

Either way.. it goes how it goes

Rarity is catching up! Keep voting Rarity, people.

GG Pinkie fans, you've put up a very good fight, just like the Twiley fans!

I'm just happy that Rarity has gotten more love this season, just look at her, she's in the top four and she's trailing Pinkie!

Uhm not to be rude or out of place with just my measly regular membership. Do you guys mind keeping this to a friendly competition ^^''? After all the chaos yesterday I don't wanna see more arguments in this thread.

I am not changing my vote,despite the actions of the Pinkie Pie side.

I could,but it won't do much.

 

Rarifans, fight, fight, FIGHT!!!  There's still time left yet to win this thing!  DOWN WITH THE PINK MENACE!!! 

 

 

 

(I'm sorry,I just had to use that.)

[Something Floaty 1,334]

Is that...is that Neil Degrasse Tyson? 

[FaZe Vinyl 521]

Not to be rude or anything, and certainly not to take away from GFK, but it kinda gets annoying with everyone treating GFK like he's the only Rarity fan here...

Is that...is that Neil Degrasse Tyson? 

Yes, that is Neil Degrasse Tyson.

Doesn't matter who did it. What matters it was below the belt, regardless.

 

That's all I have to say about that.

YESTERDAY'S RESULTS - FINAL FOUR

See below

 

Alright, I have to put on my angry/disappointed dad voice now *ahem*

*PULLS OVER CAR*

ALRIGHT PEOPLE, WE ARE GOING TO LOVE EACH OTHER AND SUPPORT EACH OTHER RIGHT NOW!

ANY POSTS MAKING FUN OF FELLOW USERS OR ANY POSTS DISRESPECTING ANY OF THE CHARACTERS BEING VOTED ON WILL BE FROWNED UPON AND I WILL FORCE FEED YOU BRUSSEL SPROUTS AND COOKED LIVER. WE ARE FRIENDS DAMMIT SO LET'S ACT LIKE IT.

 

*deep breath* Alright, for the National Championship, ALL FOUR ponies are up for vote along with an ALL CHARACTERS vote. If you vote for ALL CHARACTERS, each character will receive 2 votes worth. If you vote singularly for just one character, they will only receive HALF a vote worth. Final tally will be (All Characters vote total) x 2 + (Single character total) x .5 = character's final total

 

Let's try this again    as if these new votes will matter mwahaha

[SnipSnap 432]

Laughter and fun is better than fashion and fabulousness!! VOTE FOR PINKIE PIE!!!!

 

EDIT: Holy crap, that's some bad timing.

Rarity fans are making a good effort, but Pinkie Pie cannot be defeated.~

 

EDIT : I do not wish to be force fed yucky vegetables.

That's all I have to say about that.

 

There's quite a bunch of people who recently joined who has done nothing but voted for a specific character, this has happened for you Rarity fans as well. So don't be too proud

[Something Floaty 1,334]

Not to be rude or anything, and certainly not to take away from GFK, but it kinda gets annoying with everyone treating GFK like he's the only Rarity fan here...

 

 

I know he's not the only one by a longshot, but we can all agree that he is the biggest. 

 

But he is also the guy who is always fun, and nice to everyone, and the main reason I made the posts I did was because it just basically sucks to see him down like he is now, that's all. I didn't mean to get down on the other Rarity fans, who I'm sure are cool.

Eh, you get use to it. There are those who stand out on forums, being forum famous doesn't mean anything. Those who are just kind of got that way too, I'm sure only the most hardcore Trixie fans are the ones who wanted, no needed, to be famous or they would die.

[Scootie 108]

Rarity!

I have no idea what's going on, but Rarity!!!
