i think im gonna be sick.

god dammit fandumb...

What now?

It's not like there's much fandumb in here though.

AJ grows and harvest apples from spring-Autumn, but not in Winter. She harvests enough for her day to day sale most of the year, Applebuck season happens just before winter starts and is when they get every remaining apple harvested before the snow and cold starts wasting them.

The opening of WWU sonf clearly said "The food we've stored is running out/and we can't grow in this cold"

The Princesses go to other plays to not show favouritism to Canterlot.

@ Ginger: Yes, let's join together in what really matters. I'm still calling her Ditzy as well.

Ah, so you were more concerned with the mechanical aspect. Fair enough.

To be fair, not all of the fans are going to see that. Most will stick with what they've been calling her.

Which, for me, has been Doomause, Le Fantoma de Mort.

I repeat. Smart Cookie is best secretary

Well, my theories were all right. I got the people in charge of the Pegasi and the E Ps wrong, but still

Hold up a bit. I think this is the first non-first-episode-of-the-season episode that didn't have a "Dear Princess Celestia" in it. Am I mistaken?

Yeah, most of the complaining seems to be about "Where are Celestia, Lune, and Discord!?", which doesn't make much sense since we knew that this episode was about the founding of Equestria, and it's never been implied that Celestia and Luna created the country.

Speaking of which, how did the ponies come up with "Equestria", anyway? I know how we came up with it, but I'm guessing that they don't really follow our taxonomic naming schemes.

I believe you are correct.

The Princesses act as a Santa Claus equivalent of Equestria, and spend the entire night delivering presents to all the good fillies and colts.

This could only improve G3 ponies.

Fast fanarts are fast

They need to do a Majora's Mask parody of Pinkie's mapmask next

Double Rainbow

Sweet fanon backstory

Naughty Foals spend the night on the moooooon!

Except Luna is bad at this and delivers terrifying presents, Jack Skellington style.

Now I wanna see Luna get shot out of the sky!

Celestia delivers gifts. Luna delivers coal.

^Nice!

^^Celestia and Luna are Santa? Great idea. =D Makes up for Nightmare Moon being a combination of Freddy and Candlejack.

So, did we get a song this week?

Yeah, you know, I don't like D&D's skill check system: there's a number (DC - your skills), and you must roll a dice larger than that number, in essence. That's it. There is no choice, no roleplaying in anything that's not combat, you just let the dice decide. That's annoying.

I recall Vampire rulebooks going in-depth about what can you do if your skill at something is high enough. Like, if you have Computers 3, you can hack not too overly protected systems. You just can. You don't need to roll more than 15 each time, you are just able to. It's what your skill does.

I am actually thinking of developing a simple enough new system. Much like Risus, it is entirely d6.

Sorta. Very brief at the very end. Nothing spectacular.

edited 17th Dec '11 8:23:53 AM by JapaneseTeeth

We got the beginning of a carol.

A little carol at the end of it, yeah.

I'd use Call of Cthulhu for the Sanity system to reflect Cutie Mark Failure.

No fair Celestia, you two better take turns pulling the sleigh!

"Dear Princess Celestia, for this Hearth's Warming Night, I'd like you to banish my sister to the moon.

Sincerely, Sweetie Belle."

I actually liked the song because at least it was unique. It was unlike any song we'd had previously.

It sounded appropriately festive

Sigh, why are so many people complaining about Celestia and Luna being on the flag? Its a play, they probably didn't want to use a flag that's been out of use for over 1000 years that no one in the audience would recognize.

Pinkie had rewind action in this episode.
