Night storyyeller.

Hey guys, can you help me define friendship and subcultures? It's part of a small essay I hand in tomorrow :3

Ug, I was never good at essays. Good luck.

Define "friendship": We'd be here all day. Describing that could easily be an essay in and of itself.

Define "subcultures": From Dictionary.com: 3.
a. the cultural values and behavioral patterns distinctive of a particular group in a society.
b. a group having social, economic, ethnic, or other traits distinctive enough to distinguish it from others within the same culture or society.

The Daring Do page was just this thread having a lot of fun together a while ago after the episode premiered. It can be placed sorely on our hands.

Unfortunately, I haven't actually edited the wiki ever so I don't think I could help you with the page much. :[
I'm assuming a good start would be to take the trope list from AAI and see which ones fit. That would only work with any gameplay tropes though, bluh.

The only ones that would fit are gameplay tropes. I'll go ahead and see if I can spot any but I sort of doubt it.

I guess this is going to be a one-man job. Lovely.

Well, that's just on the editing end. I can't help edit, but I could help coming up with tropes.

Thanks Zelenal. Dictionary.com, you never fail to help. Unless you do.

It's technically not really an essay, but we have to define three terms (two coincidentally related to ponies) in a semi-essay way. The other half of this assessment, writing an 'essay outline' is the confusing bit for me :3

#203009 Zelenal Wed, 23rd May '12 10:53:47 PM from somewhere in your mind

An essay outline should be something like this

So it's essentially writing the planning stages of an essay, rather than just a write up of a standard essay structure? Seems easy enough, but the part where I have to do for five individual topics made me wonder whether it was like a "plan an essay for someone else to write the details" thing or not.

You don't have to do five paragraphs. That was just an example. I'd say your teacher only wants three but you can ask next time you're at school.

This particular course is distance education unfortunately, though I could send an email if I need more clarification. Thanks for the help.

Btw, anyone else have any particularly pony-related assessments?

Does anyone know of a trope for when someone lies to someone else to get them to confess to something? It's not Bluffing The Murderer simply because the second character isn't the thief.

#203015 absolclaw Wed, 23rd May '12 11:26:32 PM from Route 120

I think you're thinking of Perp Sweating, maybe? So this guy is lying about info to try get info on the wrong guy?

YOU CANNOT KILL ME NOT NOW

#203016 Zelenal Wed, 23rd May '12 11:29:26 PM from somewhere in your mind

Thanks. I'll hunt through that to find what I'm looking for but it may be a form of Bluffing The Murderer.

Okay, is there a trope for when a character repeats something three times but uses different words to describe it? For example, Ghirahim from Skyward Sword going "That makes me furious! Outraged! Sick with anger!" but not That Makes Me Feel Angry because it isn't an emotion. Rule of Three perhaps?

Do you mean me, Fallen Legend? I have posted here before, but not on a very frequent basis, considering both Uni and lack of new episodes, so you probably haven't.

What happened? A break in or vandalism maybe?

Damn it. I'm going to have to wait for the next patch to get more tropes. The game just crashed.
