Random question that is probably asked before.

CMC decided to call themselves. Cutie Mark Crusaders.

Cutie Mark Crusaders.

Cutie Mark Crusaders.

How in Equestria would they know such word?

Panic and procrastination will not solve anything.

#329303 Lopiny Wed, 16th Jan '13 6:54:30 AM from somewhere

Cherilee's been teaching them some pretty advanced physics for their age, so it wouldn't surprise me if they're similarly advanced in history.

Or, if you're referring to the "if crusader is a word there must have been a crusade", perhaps a few belligerent nobles got a little too enthusiastic in spreading the word of Celestia.

Oh, the thread? Don't worry, it's just dead.

Yeah, that was my question, and I suppose your explanation makes some sense.

I guess it's mane 7 now, if they're calling Spike a main character?

From my heart and from my hand

Why don't people understand my intentions?

#329306 Perpetual Lurker Wed, 16th Jan '13 7:03:24 AM

The Crusades happened centuries ago in our history, and we still use the word. I don't see how the implication that thee was some sort of "holy war" at some point in pony history is really anything weird. Heck, it could even be a loan word from some other culture.

#329307 JM Qwilleran Wed, 16th Jan '13 7:04:00 AM

A "mane" character? But Spike has been in almost every episode, anyway, hasn't he? I don't think that precludes the term Mane Six.

@Kyler - Hit it.

And I'm off to class.

I don't get it. Hit what?

#329310 Great God Pan Wed, 16th Jan '13 7:14:14 AM from The Woods. Where else?

Well, Equestria has had a less-then-peaceful history. There's plenty of opportunity for Princess Platinum or whoever to declare a Holy Crusade on the Crystal Empire or something.

Spooky.

#329311 kegisak Wed, 16th Jan '13 7:23:21 AM

@Kyler: Nah, cause there's only five mane ponies anyways.

The oval ponies are surprisingly amusing.

XP granted for befriending a giant magical spider!

The oval ponies are one of those things that has no right to be entertaining, but is.

Post of the Day #258

An official MLP handbook?

144 pages, so it's definitely not something cheap like a colouring book. Man, wouldn't it be amazing if we got a whole handbook on Equestrian History, characters and flora & fauna?

It's a real listing BTW. Release date April 2 next year. Age range 12 to 18.

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

#329317 Red Savant Wed, 16th Jan '13 7:47:55 AM from Japan

@Freeman: It's someone with MSPaint spending, I'm sure, an average of five minutes per page coloring ovals with the colors of various ponies and proving that as long as you brand something right, you'll be handed popularity for no effort.

As a fandom, not one of our prouder blogs, I think.

@Red: I get the frustration there, but at the same time, the amount of effort put into something is irrelevant as long as the result is entertaining. Oval ponies might not take a lot of effort to put together, but I find it more entertaining than some other blogs that put far more effort in.

Indeed, once it comes out we can start arguing about how canon it is!

I'm impressed how long it is taking to make that book. Normally, a book based on the show would be thrown together in about a month, less if they just use stock images. It seems like good effort is being put into it, hopefully.

As for the crusader thing, I'm more puzzled by how they got the word bullet.
