We need a new topic. But damn it, we've pretty much exhausted everything already.

"Welcome. You have entered the cranial vistas of psychogenesis. This is the place of no-time and no-space. Do not be afraid."

As for Clue, it was derpy.

So, it was Derpy in Sugarcube Corner with the anvil?

I prefer Kill Doctor Lucky. Such a fun board game. Especially the failure cards.

Angel Trap. Try to trap Angel Bunny before he does something asshole-ish. Like queue jumping or trying to destroy the world. For ages 8 to 80.

It's not like this whole situation is backed up by a wankload of logic!

#351082 Enlong Wed, 27th Mar '13 12:05:57 PM from The Underground Facility

In Clue, why do you win if you successfully prove that it was you who committed the murder?

I like to imagine that what really happens is that it represents you successfully destroying the real evidence.

that, or you gather everyone into the same room, stand with your back to the door, and are all like "The murder was committed in the parlor, with the candle-stick... by Col. Mustard." *BANG BANG BANG* "...And now, Col. Mustard is the only one who knows."

Maybe your character has amnesia? That would explain why they're looking for the evidence in the first place.

A case of explosive amnesia?

Actually, you know what? Maybe at the start of the game, everyone has amnesia.

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

Maybe whoever killed the dude was a Manchurian Agent.

Is a reason ever given for why the characters of Cluedo don't simply leave the house? Or call the police.

More like we curbstomp them.

See, ridiculous statements like this are why I go take this stuff seriously. Because yes, people still think that because they're ponies they must automatically be weaker than us, despite the show demonstrating repeatedly just how untrue that is.

Of course, anyone who'd rather discuss it through P Ms is welcome to.

Anyway, Pony!monopoly already exists. Clue would be who stole Celestia's cake? The weapons would be replaced with types of cutlery.

EDIT: In Cluedo's canon, you are not playing as the suspect, but the detective who is escorting the suspect.

Pinkie of course, is the detective. Fluttershy's the butler, and I don't know about the rest.

Board games! Pony!Clue/Monopoly/Battleship. Discuss.

Seeing as I'm doing a school project on Ra (a board game I've never seen or played), let's discuss that.

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

Real life ponies are quite a bit stronger than humans, let alone cartoon ponies who seem to feel no pain and can have a 2000 pound boulder land on their wings with no real major consequences.

I think the assumption, at least among the people who have the mind to be aware of those things, comes down to the fact that we have things like heavy artillery and tactical nukes, and so on and so forth. It's kind of a Wizard-with-wand vs muggle-with-gun issue.

#351095 d Roy Wed, 27th Mar '13 1:15:22 PM from Buffalo, New York

Hmm, just got back from my class.

Are we talking board games? I'll pass, I never played much.

As for pony-related questions, ever wondered how Equestrian cosmology worked? It is obviously Aristotelian, because because I have hard time imagining that Celestia can move aroud 1.9891×10^30 kg celestial (heh) objects. And yet episodes like It's About Time, implies that it might not be the case.

Any thoughts? Does anyone have more comprehensive knowledge on how universe works?

Knowing you is like exploring the jungle. I never know what I'm going to find next, and I'm real scared.

#351096 Enlong Wed, 27th Mar '13 1:19:34 PM from The Underground Facility

They actually control the rotation of the planet and relative orbit speed of the moon.

Celestia can do that because she is the Guardian of Infinite Power.

Exactly!

@Kegi: What's a tactical nuke supposed to do against the more powerful MLP characters?

@dRoy: They canonically literally move the Sun and moon. This is even demonstrated by Discord in Return of Harmony when the background stars don't move but the sun and moon do.

And yes, that is one of the reasons why the idea of humans beating ponies is beyond ridiculous.

EDIT:

As I said, Discord at least doesn't do that and this makes the claims made about Celestia and Luna more believable.

Using Discord as a yardstick for how things work normally is kind of a flawed premise.

@Enlong - So what you are saying is that they move the Sun as in Heliocentric model?

Probably.

Thought, that brings to mind the question of how, then, Luna was able to refuse to have the night go away, when the movement of the sun is independet from the movement of the moon.
