Hmm could still keep the title but make it about the Sisters battle with Discord instead of Celestia vs NMM

and yes it is.

That could work. But yeah, I think we should hold on to Temple and Legacy; I like the idea that the author tried to bulk up the continuity but ultimately decided against it.

@Seraph But I agree with Chariot. Spending this long on an arc is a bit much for stories like these.the forshadowing can exist ACROSS the other books for all I care, but don't use up one of the slots for something that's purely forshadowing

not purely, didn't even see the possibility of it till just now, was really just looking for a way to get a story that dealt with the Royal Sisters...and had Alicorn in the title. But more I think about it, more it all makes sense

If Chariot want's a slot I'll give up Ruby horseshoes, it was mine but I just really don't like that title. really lame Wizard of Oz refrence.

@seraph but this has nothing to do with the sisters. This is a series about Daring Do.

Also, JT You say the Writer didn't want to bulk on continuity, but the two Derring-Do stories follow on from each other

yes not directly, not saying they actually show up in the book, but if your an Equestrian Archeologist, at some point you'd end up trying to find something about the local Goddesses past.

If it's okay with you, I think I will.

it was an experiment to make a direct sequel, and slightly change the tone, which backfired due to poor reception.

go ahead

what JT said

@Ginger: What I mean is that they apparently decided to do a direct sequel from Temple to Legacy, but the fans reacted badly so they went back to Anachronic Order. The stories have a chronology and refer to each other, but the majority of them are standalone.

@JT I get that... but Trials of Unity only really makes sense if you read it AFTER The Platinum Crown. If you know what I'm saying?

Since in the latter Derring is an antagonist, and in the former, Derring mellows out

Hey, I was in the winning circle in the Hearts and Hooves Day betting pool, right?

#91538 storyyeller Thu, 9th Feb '12 6:37:13 PM from Appleloosa

it was mine but I just really don't like that title. really lame Wizard of Oz refrence.

Silver horseshoes would be better, but I guess it would sound stupid when we already have Shrine of the Silver Monkey.

It's pronounced "Te-ah-low-ve"

Well, I'm feeling irritated. Girlfriend decided to watch the leak even though we'd agreed not to.

All for a fucking Derpy sighting.

Guys. Drop what you're doing right now (or have this running in background): http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=tWHXbpsg45E

Shoot Nomuru, that sucks.

Talking about the betting pool counts as spoilers, doesn't it?

you will go to the paper towns and you will never come back

#91544 Perpetual Lurker Thu, 9th Feb '12 6:40:22 PM

@Cysma A lot of us haven't seen the episode yet, so we're not discussing the pool.

That, and I really have no idea who won. That ending was amazingly ambiguous.

#91545 Japanese Teeth Thu, 9th Feb '12 6:40:24 PM from Meinong's jungle

@Cysma: Spoiler that; not everybody has watched it, and we're not discussing how it ended until it actually airs.

The Big Mac and Cheerilee hook up or get Ship Tease with characters other than each other groups definitively lost.

@Ginger: Basically, the chronology is kinda loose. Like both the books you mentioned are better if you read them in that order because you see the development better, but you could still read them out of order and understand everything that's going on.

@ Stoyteller To the book yeah, but most people know the movie better.

@ Ginger Who says Derring can't show up in other books other then to two she has a major part in. maybe have a few do a media-ras opening with the two of them in the middle of competing with each other for a prize, or doing something like that as a kinda Cold Open with the main plot starting after they get back.

@Seraph Well, it's possible, but Derring Do is kinda meant to be the Aloof, never around when ya need em, off doing her own thing, won't see em for years on end type. So her appearing often kinda ruins that image.

Ah, gotcha

Is there going to be another livechat for the new episode come Saturday? Will it be Vent or Skype?

#91549 Seraphem Thu, 9th Feb '12 6:45:21 PM from Delamare

@ ginger, any number of ways you could have that, while stil working in enough tension between the two that Unity really hits home and is meaningful.

What were the camps in the betting pool anyway? And was anything actually bet or is it in name only?
