The Thread About Ponies, Logistics and General Weirdness (And Gilda)TV

Is everyone okay with Apokolipse's pastel GTP Pony painting being the image thumbnail for the album?

Yes.

 

[unit-one]

I wouldn't object to something GREAT and Powerful.


That is, if you don't mind...

I don't understand... wait, I think I do.

*runs*

Celestiadammit Pinkie Pie MercilessOne!!!!!

I'd include everything but the art unit-one drew for TNTNE. Pony creator stuff, hand drawn stuff, the works.

You won't include my work for TNTNE?

Is everyone okay with Apokolipse's pastel GTP Pony painting being the image thumbnail for the album?

Yes sir.

 

[Apok]

You won't include my work for TNTNE?

Probably because it fits in nicely with the fan fic pictures.

 

[unit-one]

^D'oh, what was I thinking about...
-----------------------------------
Anyways. Requests are now closed.

So here's what I have:

Ferrari for MercilessOne
Corvette for MintBerryCrunch
Ford Mustang for race'emhard
Aand something GREAT and Powerful for Toronado.

Now I should think of a way how to choose one randomly.

 

[Tornado]

I would prefer that your TNTNE stuff stays with the other Fan Fic artwork, because it makes linking to it easier on my part for the Recommendation List and it allows me to be consistent with the captions/labels/comments (which also helps with my crippling OCD). Plus I can continue to use that awesome picture of Chapter 12 as the album thumbnail for the folder, which I wouldn't be able to do if it was grouped with the rest of the GTP Brony art.


I can move it if you would like, though.

 

[unit-one]

^No-no, keep it there.
I already answered before you posted your fantastic and long post =)

Am I the only one who gets bored once in a while and goes back into the first few pages of this thread just for the lulz?

[Gravekeeper]

Man, this thread is moving at ludicrous speeds. I look away for an hour or two to concentrate on writing and suddenly the post I was going to reply to is 2 pages away.

You guys will never be as fast as Rainbow Dash, so stop trying so hard (that way I can actually keep up with the discussion!)

 

[unit-one]

^ You are just saying thaaaat!

 

[Apok]

We can try though.

 

[Gravekeeper]

^ You are just saying thaaaat!

Nope, I was just about ready to continue discussing 'Dangerous Business' and then wham! It's 400 posts away

 

[Minty]

^That's how we roll here.
Which makes this picture I was about to post anyway oddly appropriate.

 

[MercilessOne]

I have to disagree with Gravekeeper.

This thread needs to be about 20% faster.

Wait a second:

How much of this post is serious, and how much of it is a pretext to rub such a GREAT and Powerful Firefox theme in MintBerryCrunch's Chrome-using face? I'll let you decide.

Man, I'm all about "Dangerous Business" discussion.

I can't get anyone here to read it (and yet they read stories that I plead with them not to read...), because of some "I don't have time to read a story with 13 chapters that are all 30+ pages long a piece" nonsense.

 

[unit-one]

Okay. I've decided how to choose what to draw.

I will shoot this:


With this:


The range will be 5.5 meters.



1-MercilessOne
2-MintBerryCrunch
3-Toronado
4-race'emhard



I will post the result as soon as possible.

And my chrome using face. Even though you probably didn't even know.

 

[MercilessOne]

Oh lawd.


Also, I stumbled upon the pages where we all got into that huge argument with White & Nerdy. Hahaha, oh man.

Well I just finished moving all of my Bookmarks over to Firefox5, so....
I never had a reason not to use it, but I never had the motivation to actually switch to it.
Then I found out about this:

There are positives and negatives to both, the only thing's I miss though are the "click&drag" uploading to Picasa, and the "recently closed tabs" that show up when you open a new tab. But I do love that it displays the stuff in the Text box on GTP as it will appear in the post.
But it's all worth it for this theme.


Also, I would have gone with Trixie because she's awesome, but Twilight is still my favorite.

Sorry for off topic-ness of this post;
This should make up for it:
Language Warning:


It's redone completely and in HD.

[unit-one]

Okay here are the results. Part 1 at least.

4 candidates,
8 shots,
6 hits.

Should I tell who won, or keep it as a secret?

 

[Tornado]

What do you mean? I can drag and drop images fine.

and the "recently closed tabs" that show up when you open a new tab.

Get Tab Mix Plus. It has that functionality in a pulldown menu.

Also,Damn you Rule 34,not a good way to relieve from work,and this thread is just crazy fast,not event arguments fill up threads so quickly,I mean 6 pages in a day.

I know, right? Frankly, I enjoy Dangerous Business so much I don't even notice each individual chapter is longer than many other multi-part stories--the extra heft means there's more of it to read!

Now, about that amazing last chapter...

Spoiler

Where do we go from here? Clearly the story is gonna give some amazing gift to Rarity as well, so that means that Hyper Rainbow Dash will need to be restricted from ending everything in ten seconds flat.

What do you think her restriction is going to be? I'm thinking of a few things:
1. She doesn't know how to carry things with her at light speed
2. It puts a strain on her body-- she blazes around all night and come morning she can't make it work
3. She doesn't know what the flower looks like

What say you, good sir?

 

[Minty]

What do you mean? I can drag and drop images fine.

Weird, maybe it's just me. I'll figure the problem out later. I checked around and no one else seems to be experiencing the problem....I'll figure it out later.
EDIT: Are you still using FF4 or did you move to 5? That could be the problem.



Also, I was not aware unit-one was in possession of a large weapon....and that's one hell of a way to choose what pony you're going to draw.



EDIT: TBoTS Part 12 is up.

EDIT:
"dock-block"? fan...tastic.

That double Rainbow bit was amazing

Well, that was great. I'm really looking forward to the next one.

Also, Pinkie Pie....damn, she takes random to a whole new level in this chapter.

 

[unit-one]

^ Choosing should be fun.

*eats pie and draws sketches for the winner*

 

[Tornado]

*Chapter 12 of TBoTS goes up while I'm discussing something completely different with the author*

EDIT: Are you still using FF4 or did you move to 5? That could be the problem.

I'm still on FF4.

Now, about that amazing last chapter...

Understatement of the year right there. I can't really remember what I was expecting, but it certainly wasn't anything that profound.

Spoiler

Jetfire also managed to explain away the Celestia plothole (or at least lay the decent groundwork for a full explanation later in the story. Granted, I never really cared that much in the first place, so perhaps someone else would think differently) and the reason the Proghorn Network couldn't be used to help Twilight, both in practically the same sentence.

Spoiler

Indeed.

Spoiler

I found myself being unable to disagree with the jokes expressed soon after the chapter went up that Dash basically just turned on God Mode.

I actually think Rarity is going to end up being the one who "saves the day," so to speak, simply because her teleportation problems are the thing that caused this whole thing (at least in Rarity's mind) and I like to overthink these kinds of stories. I don't think it will be just "mundane" teleporting, though.

Spoiler

What do you think her restriction is going to be? I'm thinking of a few things:
1. She doesn't know how to carry things with her at light speed
2. It puts a strain on her body-- she blazes around all night and come morning she can't make it work
3. She doesn't know what the flower looks like

What say you, good sir?

I was actually leaning towards Option 1 mostly, but I must say that the second idea is one that I hadn't considered.

I've actually been wondering about a couple of more things as well. Namely:

Spoiler

1. What is the significance of Shimmerwood Forest? Just before they left Gildedale, Hammerhoof said to not expect your typical forest, and he also said that it would be more welcoming to Rarity than Dash or AJ (or something along those lines).

2. Does Dash suffer from the same affliction to cold as Firefly did when she was alive?

Looking at TBoTS now.

 

[Apok]

Guys, let me just say that it may seem I took that Severing fan fic pretty well, but I can't get it out of my head. The more I think of it the more terrified I get.
I'm heeding your advice next time.
