This thread is fastest just before and after a new episode, and is quite fast during the pre-dawn hours GMT +8. At least from my experience.

This is when the episode is airing, innit?

One thing I do wonder about is why it is gradually shifting earlier and earlier. Perhaps the troper timezone composition has changed.

I wish I were a mathematician right now. A rigorous statistical analysis might be interesting.

Well an amateur statistical analysis is also interesting and more fun.

I just got done looking through your code there, and it's actually pretty close to how I would have done it. That data construct looks rather nasty, but it's probably hard to get an array of data from Python to Javascript otherwise. I use PHP for web programming myself, so I don't really know anything about how Python works.

If you do want a tooltip instead of changing the title, I could still whip something up for you.

I didn't know water was that handy for helping detangle a brushable pony's mane until I tried it earlier.

Also programmer troper bronies galore today [lol] I never actually learnt the languages, mind.

The only statistical analysis I can offer is linear regression and trend-spotting. Not sure what else I'd want to pull from that data, impressive though it is.

So I started forming a chronology list for the main series in the fanon bible. What's currently disputed is:
  • Silver Monkey
  • Staff of Star Swirl
  • Trials of Unity
  • Ring of the Marengeti

Although Monkey is and Ring are both stated as being intended for occurring after Legacy. I think we have to come to a general consensus before anyone can move forward, though.

Well....Trials has to take place before Monkey, so I think it's pre-Temple thing, Staff should also be pre-Temple, I think.

the one thing that's certain is Unity takes place before Monkey. Other then that, yeah can we figure it out please?

Goodnight.

I'd say put Silver Monkey and Ring after Legacy. It would just kinda suck to have the last chronological book be the one that nobody likes.

Cove of Candles Daring mentions that he is getting his degree in Equestrian Economy and taking time off from being her assistant, he comes back in Temple to pull a Big Damn Heroes and afterwards becomes her Grad Student.

True. And would even be a good reason for them all to go on vacation. Hey we're done saving the world everything's great........oh WTF!!!!!

but think Trials should be before temple, that way the Do family can be united while facing the challenge.

Also, here's my pitiful attempt at drawing chibi!human versions of Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight. They kinda suck, but considering that I haven't drawn anything that isn't a stick figure in years, I think I did okay. I really need to work on the eyes. And the faces. And everything, really.

By the way, I noticed that someone's really been pushing Krastos. Apparently, he was the one who created Discord and Nightmare Moon. WTF?

They are actually pretty good for a first try. When I try to draw something they all end up looking indistinguishable from each other.

Not sure what to say to that...

Aw. I totally thought it was after Monkey, though. So that completely ruins what I came up with to work with the Xanatos Gambit. :/ I guess at least I can still tie Unity to Ring if I can find a way to fix this mess...

Yeah, most of the Krastos details feel pretty out of place to me. I'd remove his ties to the various other Big Bads and make him more standalone, I think.

#95073 from Delamare
really we've aleady established he's an EU only thing, which isn't that basicly fan fics? keep any tropes about him in the EU folders

[up]Ditto; in fact, I'd pull Krastos altogether. He doesn't really fit in the Daring Do universe that well.

@L Mage: Thanks. I didn't even attempt AJ or Rarity because there was no way I was drawing the hat or that hairdo without some kind of reference. I just didn't get around to Pinkie. Had to at least kinda pay attention in class. tongue
