I know I don't. Seriously, these power level discussions and stuff are really boring.

That's my dream. It's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight razor … and surviving.

I prefer the explanation that all ponies are a hive mind, and that they can shunt power from one body to the other as the situation requires. You might ask, 'Then why do they often work antagonistic to each other and exhibit different personalities?' The answer is simple, the meta-pony has severe depression and hates herself, always working counter to her own hopes and desires.

Now that's a theory that I haven't heard before.

Actually, I never considered the Doctor, though it'd make things a lot easier if he was messing around with history.

In case you missed the reference, I was alluding to the Zelda universe, which has a timeline that splits in three at the end of Ocarina Of Time when Link gets sent back into the past to be a child again.

Random thought:

• Canterlot — Azorius
• Everfree Forest — Golgari/Gruul
• Twilight's Basement — Izzet
• Discord's "Chaos Capital" — Rakdos
• Crystal Empire — Selesnya
• Ancient pegasus nation — Boros

Relevant.

Oh, no! They've all transformed into giant, Swedish, lederhosen-clad yodelers! Run!

Here is your request JT

◊. I'll try to colour it soon.

Keg, yours will take a while as I first have to read and digest the first chapter of your fic in order to do it obviously.

Wait, people are trying to take this seriously in the first place?

Reminds me of all the people who tried to come up with a consistent timeline for Season 1.

@Apple: Ah, well, no worries, since I'd mostly posted the 'challenge' jokingly, heh. Still, not as if I'm complaining.

@Freeman: I keep finding myself drawn into them despite kind of finding them aggrivating. I dunno. We're over-thinkers, here. It just happens but I don't think anyone's too attached to their opinions on the matter.

#351057 Morning Star 1337 Wed, 27th Mar '13 11:20:54 AM

@story Wait. there are people that refuse to accept that the S1 episodes aren't meant to be in a consistent order?

Come over to my DeviantART. we have ponies.

#351058 Mio Wed, 27th Mar '13 11:24:49 AM

Some people just like to try and put things together.

Personally I get some enjoyment out of similar conversations. The setting is interesting enough for me to want to explore it in detail, even if others (even the staff) would rather not.

@Applelight: That's cute.

Back around when season 1 was new, there were tons of people who tried to come up with a timeline for them.

@Morning: It's less refusing to believe it and more just killing time trying to figure it out. It's fun to think about how it fits together sometimes, but after a while it can turn laborious.

@Apple: I love it.

I look forward to seeing the colored version.

I can't wait for Fighting is Magic to—

...oh, right.

Well, its successor looks like it'll be doing well for itself. The Skullgirls drive is inching very close to the point where Mane6 gets to use the Skullgirls engine for free. 12 hours and $11K to go.

#351063 Miss Kitten Wed, 27th Mar '13 11:39:12 AM

Just a quick question but does anyone know if Gilda is The Scrappy? I ask because The Scrappy is getting a clean-up in the trope repair shop.

#351064 Sereg Wed, 27th Mar '13 11:39:30 AM from South Africa

@Sereg: Well, by that same logic LD might not have been going at max capacity, either. She certainly showed she could go beyond the level RD was operating at on some occasions.

Well, yes. She's clearly fast. What we don't know is howmuch faster she's capable of going. We do know that RD can go much faster though.

Too much fanon is always brought in on these discussions to cover the fact that canon really isn't as all-encompassing as all that, because it was never designed to have legitimate power levels. I think, if we really must, then we should limit it to the 'saga' arc(Season 1 opener and season 2 and 3 opener and closer), since that's the only place where combative power, and power in general, is taken into serious account. Which means basically the only things we KNOW about power are that Fluttershy resists corruption, Twilight is exponentially powerful magic-wise, Dash can pull off a Rainboom effectively at will, and all six of them can hold their own in a brawl.

Eh, there are other episodes which bring out direct comparisons.

Not by any means. Sounds like people posting their opinions as objective facts again.

#351066 kegisak Wed, 27th Mar '13 11:42:43 AM

@Sereg: Well, maybe, but they're few and far between, at any rate. You could definitely lump Magic Duel, and maybe even Boast Busters in there, but I think the point still remains.

I never played the game, so what's so great about the engine?

Hi everyone! What's going on?

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

#351070 marston Wed, 27th Mar '13 11:47:19 AM from America

Ugh, so many pages of Power Level discussion. Why did it even start in the first place? This is Mlp Fim, a show that mainly focuses on comedy and charector interactions, not Dragon Ball Z or some super hero series.

I still reckon that we, as a combined force operating on guerilla tactics, could be a serious hassle.

Thing is, a specialized squadron of unicorns could probably foil geurilla tactics.

If there's a spell that can deect precious gems, it's likely there's a spell that could detect certin metals, alowing them to find anyone carrying bullets.
