This is the OOC for the RP Escape from the Past. Feel free to discuss things in or out of the RP. You can plan certain things in the RP, or just have a friendly talk. Only rule is the forum rules. Enjoy your stay.
ok cant wait to get started hehe ^-^
So, what I was thinking, with the two timelines running alongside one another at all times, that the actions of each should affect the story of both, until the meeting of the two groups. As I posted within the roleplay itself, I think it would be a good plotline for the future group to go into the forest, and encountering Nocturna's Camp, resting and finding what's there, thinking it to be abandoned, in order to aid their journey to find the spell to bring them home. After the adventure of me, Elegan, and Argonz within the village, spying upon the townsfolk, we would then return to the camp, to find it effectively ransacked, the stored up supplies gone, with Nocturna noticing the tracks of the future ponies departing from the camp. From there, they follow the group of ponies, and the rest is up to how we play it out.
This is just an idea of course, but I wanted to hear some feedback regarding it.
Hmm... should be good. Hopefully I can lead the group to the sight.
Nice to have you using the OOC to plan things out. I don't really have much others using the OOC in my other RPs.
I find it a very beneficial place, but only for the more planning-type aspects of it. Some OOC would need to be in the roleplay itself, as an in-line note, for efficiency purposes. I'm glad I'm being a surprise to you, actually utilizing your OOC, haha.
Yea. I thank you for using it.
It's no problem at all my good man. I'm enjoying this roleplay thus far.
as am i ^-^ this is somewhat fun
sorry peace i can keep up with this rp, i'm droping out
I can understand you. Sorry to see you leave.
For the future group, nothing much has happened, only with the past ponies group. I guess if it were to be just as quick as with the future group, it would be just as bad.
Thanks for joining.
Just as a note, be sure to add the taking of supplies when the future ponies leave the camp, alongside a book with just "Nocturna" written on the front cover. That'd be important for later. Speaking of, the past ponies are heading towards the camp now, so leaving the camp should be somewhat soon.
Sure. you planning to arrive during the night or the day?
It seems like it'll be the present day of the roleplay, not sure. Also, sorry if it seems like I'm trying to control the roleplay or anything like that, I just like developing the side-story as well, and want to get things in place to link together properly later on.
Hey it's cool. As long as we are discussing it in the OOC, it is all good. It was made to plan events so that we can discuss it and maybe improvise on things. I thank you for using it.
It isn't power playing if you are forcing someone to do something.
I will agree with your plan. I can easily adjust to things.
Alrighty. Also, by the way, I forgot to mention this, but Nocturna isn't a bat pony, she's a Pegasus Vampony. While both can be bats, a batpony is another species, while a Vampony is a modified variant of whom was born as such or was made into one through a transfer by another being of similar attributes.
Pegasus vampony? Hmm... IDK I read they get intertwined with the type. Okay, I will go ahead and change it.
I edited my post to explain it better, apologies for being confusing.
It's alright :)
A note to both groups, the Past are heading towards the camp, so the Future needs to tie in a leave before that. The Past needs to take it a bit slower until the time elapses for the Future to leave the camp in question.
Okays.
For our future group, we moved away and are now hidden away somewhere along with the supplies.
Ya guys are clear to advance.
this is all working out great guys still having a bit of fun sorry i went so long without posting on both here and in rp. i was waiting for the right time to post for plot
It's okay. We don't post too far. If ya like to add something like a event or something you like to do, let us know. We will try to adapt so we fit you into the RP.
Waiting for the next response, just so you're not thinking that you need to wait on me this time around.
I do feel like a few of the other users aren't around as much and I feel guilty about leaving them behind, which is why I hold back on the frequency of my posts. I don't want to be every other post. I am a tad worried if anything happened to the others, or if they got super busy recently.
I was also kind of hoping I'd get to RP with Seals, who hasn't posted since I joined. Hopefully she comes back, although explaining her lack of action in the past few pages will be a challenge.
Hmm yea. Stryker hasn't posted as much now that I think about it.
I hear from Lightspeed he doesn't post as much, but will when the time comes, kinda the same with Radio.
Unfortunately, Seals dropped out for now since she is gonna be very busy for the time being. I gave her a message so that if she ever wants to join back when she has time, she is more than welcome to return.

Grammar nitpicks aside, I'd been taking a small break. Don't worry, I'm still in this.
Ah nuts lol
sorries. I get mixed up with someone else not from here who has a username as stryker.

And fun fact: That's the second time I recall being called such.
oh wow. Interesting.

So I am ready to take this into the next day. Everyone okay with that? I assume everyone is going to sleep.
Do as you wish. I can adapt with ease.
We haven't talked about anything in here for a while! I wanted to point out that currently, my character is remembering stuff from her past, that'll eventually fuel certain events later on. Ideally, one of you goes to talk to her, to try to understand better, and who later is part of helping to stop something she tries. I don't want to spoil just yet what I mean, though if you want me to I will.
I can go aged and bring one of my OCs over. I guess that the OSW is over, I am guessing people are relaxing from the post-osw stuff, and waiting for the chat to return. Hopefully next week it goes well back to normal.
Post Merge
So anyone want to play as the green pony Greenlight?
It's okay if nobody wants. I can fill in if ya guys want.
I'm just reporting that I'm standing by with Gracie until the setting changes or something relevant to Gracie occurs.
As it stands right now, the main focus is a conversation that Gracie has no part in. I don't feel comfortable trying to inject her into a conversation that doesn't concern her, not to mention it's likely she would not be interested in the topic.
I could just have her run around doing random things, but I feel I've exhausted what she can do inside this cave.
You could always sneak away from the group and start another sub-plot. Just a thought.
I've considered the possibility, but there have been a few deterrents.
First, most of the other characters aside from Gracie are a part of this conversation. To have her engage in a sub-plot would mean it is likely I would be RPing alone, which is fine if the sub-plot was significant, but I'm hesitant to move a story that is not my own. It is also possible that others would join, but that brings me to my second issue: dividing the cast. I don't know when the current conversation is going to end, so I feel it is best not to commit to a sub-plot of variable significance and possibly risk holding everything up. It's safer to just wait for now, I believe.
Hmm I see. Hmm... I do have 2 OCs that I play, and one of them is right now alone not doing stuff right now. I can try to think of something that we can do together with my second OC and at the same time come back to the cave. Hmm... I was thinking of raising up the tension by having ponies outside approaching near the cave or something at some point. You can play around with your OC in any way and my OC can do something like scouting the area or anything you wish your OC would like to interact with mines. We would stick together and not separate too far.
Sound good?
0:) Gracie has already commited to an act of scouting the perimeter, in which I alluded that something could've been watching her from hiding, but that's when we all decided to go shopping, so the possibility was put on hold. I don't feel comfortable revisiting that sub-plot, so Gracie is probably not going to wander away from the group while they remain near the cave unless specifically asked to.
Hmm I see. Well... hopefully we can think of something so that you can do something together.
I'm currently waiting on Maplewood, if you guys are curious to my inactivity with the RP
Same here. I think others are waiting till I get to the climactic part. Maple hasn't been here for a bit. Hopefully he can return.
I'm a little worried myself. I've noticed in the last few pages that it has just been 4 of us, which is like half the original cast.
Of course, I generally anticipate that participants in the average RP will leave without notice. It's still a bit demoralizing when it does occur, though.
However, if given the go, I can continue, but I still feel hesitant about it.
I want to continue it, trust me, we're too far in to not finish it off. Hopefully, after we conclude it, we can start a new, private RP of some variety, with the more active members. If you guys want, we can fast-forward into heading to the castle after escaping from an attack by some villagers. We could also do it to where we lost track of the others, which would lead to them having their own ability to catch up, if they choose to.
Then not sure how the others will feel. I will notify them to see if they wish to make it brief or if they wish they can drop out. Ima try doing that and hope to get some answeres soon.
Honestly, it's really a manner of that it was going to be pretty brief from here on anyway. The skip is due to their inactivity, and the fact that it didn't contribute much to the story, other than restoring trust.
Alrighties. So whenever you are ready to continue so I can get the support characters to roll the ball for us.
Feel free to do so whenever you please
As the game master, you should be moving the plot along and causing events a little bit faster than you are.
I can only react to things that happen and words that are spoken that are related to my character, but I can only react so much before I must recieve a new prompt. The same can be said of the others as well, which is why I try to create "something to react to" in my posts. However, since I'm not the GM, such creation must only involve Gracie Sky herself, whereas you control the world, the plot, and everypony who is not controlled by a specific RPer here (NPCs).
I'm guessing you are simply waiting until the majority of the users signed up for this RP respond to your latest prompt, which is fine, of course. However, also be aware of what we just previously discussed: the activeness of the cast. So far, I have noted 4 of us (including you) can post at a moment's notice. The rest seem to be come and go, but in the end, it is their responsibility to participate. The rest of the cast should not be held back because somepony else isn't participating.
I'm also considering the pace of the RP as well, since obviously we can't all post at the same rate. In fact, Gracie was left out of the grocery shopping routine because I was away for that day and the entire event was resolved within that day, which is bad pacing imo. I did have a few shenanegians I wanted Gracie to perform there, and she was asked to come along, but I decided to just let it pass. I'd like to say a healthy pace is 1-2 posts a day, but you are allowed to be inactive for approximately 1 day without getting completely left in the dark. However, it's been several days, if not a whole week, that a few of cast have been away. They can easily play catch up or ask for a summary of the events. A good RPer can reinsert themselves at almost any point and it's equally as easy for the rest of us to accept their reentry and continue as if they were there all along.
I apologize if this sounds like I'm complaining or preaching. I am simply trying to offer advice, explaining at length the reasons for my logic. I do believe the pace of the RP is a bit slower than I'd like. That's all I'm really saying. If you can't make it faster or feel it would do more harm than good, I completely understand. I just feel bad when I go entire days without contributing to the storyline because we are waiting for the less active people to react.
I assume you're referring to Peace there, as he's the game master, and you are correct. The pace is relative to the activity, apart from recently with the others being MIA. We do need to start doing more with it, but it's really up to Peace for the decision on fast forwarding or not with it.
Alrighties, From the others, they will ride it put until they feel the need to jump in. Meaning we can continue on, and the rest will follow behind.
Let us finally continue.

I got some news.
Next week are my finals week, so somewhere this weekend or right after this weekend, I am gonna have to go off of LoE for a bit to study for exams. Ima let ya guys know when I will be getting off. If ya like, you can continue on for me. If any of you would like to powerplay my OCs Peacekeeper and Peacemaker for me, feel free to take them till I come back. I hope you take good care of them.
If not, they can watch from behind while all of you continue the story.
Ima try to return very soon on Friday. Good luck in the RP.
Not a problem my man, thank you for informing us.
This is my final day here on LoE. I will be off to concentrate for finals this week. Hopefully you all can communicate on the story or events you guys do.
I was hoping to get my support OC Combo out before I leave, but unfortunately I didn't quite make it. So hope if ya guys would want to use him, go ahead. Here is some info about him.
OC: Combo
Race: Earth
Color: Teal
Combo is a guard for the earth pony village. He keeps guard over the town from any danger from other pony race tribes and creatures. He has grown from hearing of beliefs that all ponies own each other something and won't stop until they get what they want and are deemed superior. The philosophy from the town suggest that they spy on each other in attempts to either raid or gain the resources to help their race. However, Combo has the other half of his belief that all of this can be preventable, and all the hostility is just all mistrust and lack of respect. What he now wants is change, a change to hope that ponies can trust each other, and he believes it can start with the fillies. Though not all ponies will agree to his goal and because of mistrust of other ponies, he will try to defend at all costs to prevent being either captured or slain. He tends to try to not fight much unless his opponent fights first, but also tries to know who his opponent is, their intention, and if they agree to is idea of unity. Also if there are any foals around, no matter the race, he will do his best to defend them as he hopes to gain their trust. But he will tend to avoid any conflict in front of foals.
The other OC Double Edge probably woulnd't be needed much now that he is trapped. Not sure how long the story will last, but in case it is necessary, here is his info
Name: Double Edge
Race: Earth
Color: Black
Double Edge is a good friend of Teal, and both have been training together to help protect their village. Double Edge has been grown strongly to believe that ponies of other races cannot be trusted for similar reasons. Though he kinda has a belief of having to have unity, it is hard for him to be convinced if he feels threatened first. He will insist to help other races only if he feels they can be trusted, but it is quite difficult to convince him. His hardest to convince is the vampony he hears from the village. Perhaps the only one that can convince him is his friend Combo.
As of now Double Edge is in a cave sealed and petrified and stuck. Combo doesn't know that yet, so try not to make it too obvious on Combo's sense of his friend disappeared.
Hope the info helps out. Also, If you want, I can leave my OCs Peacekeeper and Peacemaker to you guys. Their OC info are in the OC thread (should be in page 1). Please take good care of them. I really want them to be around when I come back.
If no one wants to use them, I am totally okay with it. I don't mind at all. They can be just in the back observing and watching and following around.
Well guys, lets hope to have a great RP here. So that way we get to do something while I am gone, the objective is to go to the castle of the sisters (present day ruins) and attempt to help the ponies return to the future. You can make it quick, or a kinda long journey. The rest of the sub events I leave you all to plan.
That is it for me. Thank you for signing up for the RP, and thank you for being here. Enjoy your week, obey the rules, communicate well, and I see you all hopefully on Friday. Byes everyone.
I just wanted to point out that two different names were given as the name of Nocturna's foal: Strabright on page 21 and Sunset on page 35. Yes, I did recent skim over the whole RP, making sure I don't create any contradictions in my most recent posts. However, I'm wondering if these different names were deliberate or simply an error.
Oh, and Peace Keeper, when I saw the name of your first OC being Combo... I really thought the name of the second one would be "Breaker" lol
But we already have a Breaker, right?
Oh, haha. Sorry about that inconsistency, we could pass it off as her memories fighting eachother(the haze, that's from what I explain in my character's OC thread)
Quote from: Gracie Sky on 2015 May 27, 15:42:53
... when I saw the name of your first OC being Combo... I really thought the name of the second one would be "Breaker" lol
lol Just realized that. Honestly, the name Combo was actually brought up from a similar source.
Since it seems the RP is ending "soon", I would like to offer critiques on RPing performance to those interested. I've never actually critiqued something like this, but I'm sure it can't be any different from the normal OC critiques I do. The idea is to offer feedback and my opinion on key aspects of RPing performed by the individual, as well as acknowledging areas of strength and weakness in terms of general literacy. This feedback is solely for helping develop your RPing skills further, so you have something to reflect upon.
And, of course, if you want me to evaluate your OC specifically, without addressing your RPing abilities, I can do that as well. In fact, I can address both, if you really want to! Don't be afraid to get specific about what exactly you want me to evaluate. I'm fairly flexible.
I like that idea. Thanks for the offer.
I think a critique would help us understand how we did and how the scenarios played out. Hope to learn from it. I think I played it out well, but could be wrong X3 . I'd appreciate if you would like to do the honors of critiquing. It has been a great RP. Ima see how well everyone enjoyed once we are done, and maybe plan on something after.
I would appreciate some critique, however I already know my poor performance throughout this roleplay, so I'm not expecting much.
I would ask for a critique of my OC, but it fares no better.
Peacekeeper
--------------
For you, your strongest attribute is your dedication and effort. Even in the face of many technical mistakes, I always respect ponies who try their hardest to make something work out. So even if I point out a lot more negative traits in your writing, somepony of your tenacity should be able to overcome these shortfalls with time and practice.
That said, there are a number of things that bother me about the way you write which I'd like to bring up, constructively of course. The first is your fluency. A lot of the sentences you write don't seem to be proper sentences or are just worded confusingly. I really don't know the right way to bring this up, but I get the feeling that English may not be your native language. Your word structures are stiff and... uh... hmm... lack the nuances of a proficient writer. Of course, perhaps you just need more experience as a writer, but that's my take on it.
A few other notes include your ratio of dialouge vs narration. You sometimes have far too much dialouge and no narration whatsoever, and that does bother me to some degree. Characters who only talk are static, which is not generally a good thing. It doesn't help with the fact that when your characters talk, it seems to go on for longer than is needed. Narration gives you a lot of freedom to express important things that wouldn't fit being expressed by speaking, such as the character's thought process, feelings, intentions, and even more general things, like body language and routine. Try to strike that right balance between dialouge and narration.
Pacing is probably my biggest concern, since it affects all the other RPers. As you could see, nopony was fond of the way you skipped over the farewell scene, although I'm sure you didn't mean it like that. You simply weren't aware of the intentions of the others. This is a critical skill to have, "thinking ahead". I believe this may be why your pacing could use improvement. You need to know when the others are ready to move on, and only move on when everypony involved has done the crucial things they wanted to do. I would definately recommend learning to understand what your fellow RPers could be thinking and adapt accordingly.
Wow. Never seen myself that horrible.
-Honestly, I am a first gen Latin American, and my first language is Spanish. The way how I speak in the RP is the way how I talk at home, and since it is my ponysona, it reflects the same language. I didn't know it would be that difficult to follow for everyone else. Guess I should leave behind my lingo and talk more properly for the RPs. I'll go ahead and make proper English for the future.
-I actually do tend to lack narration. I really like taking the 1st person point-of-view most of the time. Perhaps I should have used it to good ways like expressions of characters and other stuff.
-I know how people were upset, and I even facepalmed myself when I didn't realized it wasn't suppose to end like that. Didn't know that wasn't the signal, but guess I was going a bit too fast myself. Sowies I got a bit impatient and moved on. Had a very slow RP that I accidentally carried on my impatience here. I really like to be involved in the RP a lot. Kinda broke my own rule there.
I am gonna take good mental notes on them so that I don't come out horrible again. Thanks for the critiques, and terribly sorry for a hasty ending. Ima try my best in the future so that the story would come out better for everyone.
Yet you're still better than I, Sir Peace of this pie. Even with your mistakes, you fared better within this RP of stakes. I await report of my already well-known downfalls, to attempt improvement, instead of further crumbling of walls.
I felt you did a great part in the RP, probably better than me. I have not much experience in RPing myself; I only have a history of being in 2 short RPs that just went silent. For you being a first-timer, you went great. You will do fine in other RPs.
Nocturna
----------
If I had to say what your biggest weakness is, it would be your lack of confidence in your abilities, and that's something you just recently revealed to me... I am a bit worried about how you precieve my opinion of your RPing abilities. I honestly think you do fine. You have a cool head and your posts are rational and well concieved, features I tend to look forward to in your posts. You and your character have made massive contributions to the RP. In fact, Nocturna is probably the most important character in this storyarc and undergoes the most development of all the characters, hooves down. The way you allude to Nocturna's hidden feelings early in the story did not go unnoticed by me. In fact, I had to go back to look for problems with your RPing, although that could just mean your flaws are harder to notice.
The only real problem that I have with your posts is the amount of content in them. While each post is fluent and of consistent quality, they seemed disappointingly short. While you may simply not have anything more constructive to add to a post, I cannot believe that every post you do suffers from that reasoning. I just get the feeling you have a lot of potential for exploring a situation, but settle with the bare minimum of information to give in a post. I think your biggest post was when she was recalling her memories of what happened to her son (whom I still don't know the correct name to), and yet that was concluded in about a half a paragraph. I spend half a paragraph talking about the way grass tastes; irrelevant but informative, right? I just feel like you're painting inside the space of a postcard when you have an entire canvas to work with. The level of immersion you are capable of can be much greater if you take the time to go into the finer details.
About your OC, it's actually hard for me to figure anything out about her after that last letter she wrote. Barring that, she's very down to earth and collected, but it seems she has trouble maintaining that control. It seems a lot of mystery still surrounds her, but it's controlled mystery, meaning you are aware of it and it is a part of who she is. I deliberately make characters with a bunch of unknowns about them, Gracie Sky included, so I know all about the level of depth that concealing the right facts can give a character. I also like how she adapts to the ponies she meets. She is formal with the Peace brothers, casual with Illusion and Breaker, and soft with Gracie Sky. I honestly can't see any room for improvement with this character as she is now that does impede with the core of her character. The only thing left to do is expand on her character... which seems difficult as her life expectancy seems to be... unstable. Still one of the better OCs out there. I definately would like to see the potential of both you and her more realized.
Now that I've seen how your critiques are, I don't think I'd mind you looking into my RP skills and my OCs.
Go ahead, tear it all apart as much as you need to! I don't mind!
The only reason I didn't elaborate as much as I probably should've is the fact that I basically was trying to act as a get-the-ball-rolling and keep-it-going most of the time, leading to more quick posts to advance the story. That's no excuse for my terrible quality, though I wanted to point it out.
The foal was also part of her life construct, the name never really revealed for it because no character pointed out the inconsistency. Starbright was the true name though, of that timeline's Nocturna.
About Nocturna, the OC Description of her goes over the gist. She's dropped into the different timelines, under varying different circumstances. Ponies eventually come along(the other roleplayers, for example) which starts the middle to end. At the end of every timeline, she always ends up back into the vortex, depositing her once more. She grows and learns, but retains no memory or recollection. I did that as an experiment, but I'll probably end up using my new OC or a brand new one I currently have in the works(trying to find someone who could digitally design it for free, any of you know someone?) for future roleplays.
I appreciate the critique Gracie! <3
I apologize with the delays, but I'm not finding a lot of free time lately. I expect to get the time on Tuesday, at the very latest.
Alright, that's perfectly fine Gracie! ^.^

From what I've seen so far, you have a good grasp of character dynamics. Both of the characters you brought, Breaker and Illusion, had a lot of character and you did a good job with expressing it. You also controlled two characters at once, allowing you to control the chemistry between them. I do feel that the interactions between Breaker and Illusion were interesting. They constantly played off of each other's insecurities. While that might not be too difficult since you control both of them, most of these insecurities are born from events that occured in the RP, which you don't control. This clearly demonstrates your abilities to adapt without compromising your characters' integrity.
I also enjoy your use of narration. It's very informative and compliments the dialouge your characters engage in.
There's only two problems I could "conjure" up after reviewing a bit of your material, but they do merit mention. The first is your general aggressiveness when you RP. The primary issue I have concerning this subject is your use of CAPITAL LETTERS, they make you sound irritated or upset when you use them. Reviewing my posts, I think I used caps for a few words, but Gracie was clearly stressed when using them, which is the reason I think they should be used. I have to admit I feel a bit intimidated when you use all caps. Perhaps your characters were also stressed at the time as well, but there are a few instances where the narration uses them, which I thought was out of place. If you weren't trying to sound aggressive, I'd recommend another way to emphasize a particular word or phrase. Of course, if you were trying to sound aggressive, then it worked!
The second issue is probably less of an issue and more of a side effect in the way you chose to RP. You chose to RP with two characters. While it gives you a lot more control in when it to what gets said, it also contains the potential of your interactions with the rest of the cast your don't control. Essentially, it increases the amount of RPing you do with yourself, which is more akin to storytelling than RPing. I realize Peace Keeper also used two characters (and even more), but I believe as the GM, he needs that extra flexibility to keep the story going. Now, remember, I'm only bringing this up so you are aware of my stance on the subject; it's not a problem and you handle using two characters well. There are also a lot of instances where two characters have so much chemistry that they have to be played together. It's highly possible that Illusion and Breaker share that sort of chemistry. I guess all I wanted to say is "Be careful".
Huh, I honestly thought I'd done a whole lot worse in... Well, now for my "Defense".
1. I do not believe I had intended to sound very aggressive, at least not as the narrator. Looking back at those posts, I feel that bold text would've served my purposes better. I'll be sure to keep this in mind for the future. But, since you admit to being intimidated, this leads me to believe I'd make the (almost) perfect monster or bad guy in a horror RP. ovO
2. I suppose my 'story-telling' style is also a side-effect of what I tend to do in my spare time, that being reading and occasionally writing fiction of the fan-made variety. (This also results in what I believe to be a noticeably slow post-rate compared to others, as I feel obligated to go through my posts several times with a fine toothed comb before actually using them.) I see what you're saying, though, and I do try to be careful with controlling multiple characters, albeit perhaps for different reasons.
Thank you for going through the effort, Gracie. I'll be certain to keep your advice in mind in the future. ^-^
So Peace, what do you think would be a good idea for a sequel?
I was thinking a situation where you try to bring back the future ponies to help with a situation of the three tribes. Well it is kinda an idea, but you can help pitch in an idea. Everyone can fill in ideas.
Well Nocturna is gone, effectively dead, so she won't really be doing anything anymore. We could do something involving my OC Holly Flier, unsure what though
Wait.. what!? Oh, okay. Hmm... gonna be tough if your OC pretty much knows time travel so well.
Hmm... if it were to go back in time, Peacemaker must know some way to time travel. If in the beginning of the RP they accidentally went back from a spell. Probably a message from the past to come to the future (current) time and ask for help.
I'll just wait here for other's responses or ideas. Perhaps we can all work something out to make a sequel to it.
Perhaps the past ponies going to the future(present) would be better, to maintain the integrity of the alternative timeline story. That, or my other OC could be of no relevance to Nocturna(probably better), and we do go back in time at some point.
Hmm, that could work as well.
Both ideas can work.
I'd rather you just RP as the raven until a good excuse to meet Nocturna surfaces. I'm sure there is a good workaround or another version of Nocturna that could be encountered.
However, my main concern would be the possible premise of this sequel you're contemplating on. Previously, the premise was ponies going back into time where segregation and prejudice still existed. The teleportation was completely accidental. This leaves only two possible paths that would be worth pursuing, although both seem highly unlikely unless I really stretch things.
1) The group goes back deliberately. Peacekeeper already made it clear that he didn't wish to mess with the timeline, so going back on purpose seems counter-intuitive. That also brings up the question about why a book containing a spell for time travel existed in a public area. I mean... if we did go back, I'm assuming we'd use that same book, which got me thinking about why it was there in the first place. Clearly the next step Peacekeeper should take is turning that book into the authorities before somepony else accidentally goes back in time. The only plausable explanation would be that the book was deliberately put there to be used by Peacekeeper by somepony who knew he would accidentally read it. The reason to go back would be based on who this pony was.
2) The past group comes to the present. They apparently have the means to time travel even back in the past, and it apparently works. I'd like to say no, though, since it brings up the possibility that several ponies could have time-traveled to any point in time, since the spell exists. It could be stated that the details of the spell were hidden to prevent its abuse, but by whom? The developer of the spell, Nocturna, doesn't exist any longer, leaving the two choices to be the spell was buried or was kept hidden by somepony else. Regardless, it wouldn't make sense for the past group to use the spell... unless they brought it into the present to prevent anypony between then and now from using it. In that case, though, they would probably be stranded in the current time.
Gots some good points. Just have to find a way. I always believe HOW it can happen.
1) Yea, my OC will definitely would't want to go back after the dangers of time-travel and the situation at that time. Also he would give the book to someone to keep it away from others from accidentally stumble into the past. Though my OC is gullible into things, and believes in a lot, convincing him shouldn't be too much of a problem, although if it is dangerous, it is a no-no to him.
2) Hmm... that idea could mean that if a pony was given the spell to time travel, it has to be a well-trusted pony who knows to never give out the spell and may have used it for serious help. Not sure, just thinking of a possibility.
So... hmm... where can we start? I gots no ideas yet.
I have no idea, my focus is on other things currently, one thing being my own roleplay creation xD
Yeah, I'm not exactly sure this RP needs a sequel. If it did, it would have to take place immediately after the end of the current one, or you risk Gracie Sky returning to the orphanage. But doing it so soon feels kind of rushed and it brings up other complications too, such as whether or not there will be brand new RPers or only the ones that took part in the original. My vote would be to just go our seperate ways and possibly join in other RPs together. There are a few RPers here I would gladly follow into another RP.
I've also been contemplating hosting my own RP, although I'm skeptical about it, since I tend to try and go over the top in most of my endeavors. I fear I would alienate possible RPers with excessive complexity and rules. Perhaps my skills are better utilized assisting others with the quality of their RPs.
I guess we need to conclude it then. There is potential, but perhaps it should be revisited by us later, or by others.
If any of you want to, I'd love some of you to participate in my new roleplay when I create it. Message me on my proper account(Jcfraven) for details <3.
Oh well. Guess the sequel wont happen then. So lets just end it and close it up.
I thought this RP could have better potential, but I mean I am no big time RPer. Also, didn't expect for this RP to finish this soon. I think a lot has been rushed a little too quickly, especially me botching the farewell. Oh well... a bit too late to turn it back.
Well I can say I really thank all of you for participating. Things did kinda went smoothly. Did brought out some nice stories and suspense, and I appreciate it. Was some experience to remember, and hope to learn from this as well. Hope to meet some of y'all soon.
:P We should be thankful that it managed to reach a conclusion in the first place, especially seeing that only about half the original cast is still accounted for.
Indeed. I thought it would crash and burn a few times, but it's amazing how we worked together and made it happen.
I had a feeling it would be able to finish iit, but to make a good story is amazing. We did had a lot others but just a few did the trick.
Just last night I had an idea to give a bit more story to it, but to do it I'm pretty sure nobody is gonna agree with me. I was thinking of restarting the whole RP again so we can give it more events and other things. I can preserve this one if ya like and create a new one with a similar scenario to begin with.
I'll let ya guys decide.
You're free to restart the RP, but you're probably going to get a different set of RPers for it. As for at least myself, I am already aware of what is going to happen. Without the allure of the unknown, I'm basically reading from a script. Granted, it's very unlikely the events will play out exactly as it did the first time, but the similarities will be greater the more characters from the original take part. Due to that, to get the most bang for your buck, none of the original characters (probably save the Peace brothers), should participate. That said, the only way I'd join was if I wasn't going to use Gracie Sky as my character.
But the fundamental problem with all of this would be the fact that if you were going to completely change everything to begin with, you would be better off just doing something fresh. Unless, of course, there is a good reason you want to restart this particular RP that has nothing to do with nostalgia.
I am actually aware that it would play out differently. I don't mind if it is different. I just felt the last one was a bit too quick. I think it would be a lot better if it plays out differently. Brings out more surprises, and if others decide to change OCs or newcomers sign in, a lot can change. possible could be better for it. I probably gonna try to bring old scenarios as well. I will refresh the sign-up list as well so that if any want to join, they are free to come up. I think I have someone who wants to join as well, but seems the current one has finished.
I will await for others as well if they think it sounds like a good idea to restart the RP fresh.
Considering how poorly I did what I did, it'd be interesting to see how it plays out properly.
So it seems we may have the okay go for a refresh of this RP then?
Not sure if we should end the current one properly. I don't want to make the mistake and make a hasty ending. X3
Well, at this point, it's simply a matter of "We're finally home" xD
Heh well pretty much. Not sure if Gracie is gonna want to make a proper ending for it. If not, we can pretty much say we are finally home. Wait... lemme go check with Maple if he feels the ending is good enough.
If I did re-join the RP, I would be playing a far more dominant character. Gracie Sky is fun and all, but she is forced to take a back seat when it comes to making important decisions. Her role is to follow everypony around and be comic relief and to offer a child's viewpoint, which is clouded at best in this setting.
Sure if ya like. You can take part in major plots if ya want.
I can understand about your OC you used. Would be nice and interesting to see another taking the spot for major plots.
*Edit: I got word from Maple, and says he is okay with how it is ended right now. So I can now lock it up and prepare for a fresh new one.

I restarted my sign-up list so if you gonna want to join the RP again, you can.

Hey guys I got some breaking news. My sister just called me and my mom to help her out in another state. I will be gone from my home for about 10 days. I will bring my laptop and 3DS, but not sure how much privilages I have on it to be on here. I will do my best to come here and check on stuff. I will be there from Thursday 11 to Saturday 20.
I may try to create the RP as soon as I can. Until then, I wish all of you the best.
Alright then Peace, we await your return. Have fun [emoji14]
Have fun, Peace Keeper. And thanks! ^-^
Heya guys. I have finally returned from my trip. I really missed ya guys.
I'll be sure to start the RP real soon.
I'm waiting for the other to sign-up.
Hmm... Now I'm thinking... It's could be great if my pony is a vampony instead of batpony the night... in any case, she can bite you. (I mean the same)
Hmm I see he he.
Whichever you like to decide. just make sure that to make the change quickly because once we go in through the RP, it stays as is.
Post Merge
The RP is finally opened. Have fun in it.
Wow! All that unicorns! We are surely in a different zone. This time, we are not near the town of the Earth Ponies but of the unicorns... what do you think? Should we stick on Earth ponies town or change it?
peace is the setting during the winter or summer sorry its just for introduction reasons
Post Merge
I just noticed that im the only earth pony lol
@Julien999 : hmm you may got something there. Pretty much the list of past ponies are unicorns, however the village can be of any race type. Depends on whether the other RPers think it is a village of unicorns.
@Maplewood : Hmm never thought of the season. I suppose now that we are in the summer season we can take this to the summer. Sound okay?
I saw you used, except the Peace Brothers, 3 other ponies on the First "Escape to the future"... can we really take some random ponies? X3 (You can say: No.)
You can bring up other ponies. I only made 2 of em just to help with the situations with the group and outside past ponies.
You are free to make one, just make sure it can fit well with the story. Nothing extraordinary.
-Just making this post to keep track of the OOC on Tapatalk-
Glad to see this is open! Be sure to look at my In-RP OOC, so that we can determine who I'm going to be the assistant of <3
Alrighties. I gave a memo in the RP to see if anyone would want you. Hopefully someone would want you in the team.
also, you said you are going to use that profile for the meantime. Hmm, that reminds me to do something.
If nobody decides they want a familiar, I'll bring on another past pony character with a familiar, and just roleplay both(still as support), but hopefully someone will want it [emoji14]
Alrighties. We can wait for a couple days to see who would like to take you in as a support. I feel there can be someone who would want to be in.
Alrighty then!
Does it have to be past or future
Jcfraven would most likely prefer past ponies, but you can take the spot if you like if now one else likes.
I'd only be a past pony if nobody wants a familiar, hopefully there's no need for me to meaninglessly take a slot.
Me, don't know if I want a familiar... :v That's why I'm waiting that somepony take it. But I can have a try.
If you really want to be an assistant, you can be Aurora's. She technically already has an assistant (Dove Elegy), but obviously things can be rearranged for this RP. The original purpose of Aurora's assistant was to carry on with her research after she disappeared. One thing that has been bothering me about Aurora for this RP is that she can be recognized by the future ponies, but I can't really insinuate that in the RP since Aurora shouldn't know that at the time. I could simply have the assistant be that link and be able to establish that Aurora's research has significance in the future.
The biggest problem is would be the nature of this familiar being able to slip in and out of reality and how a Raven like this would come to be Aurora's assistant. It would be a tough sell to say Aurora already had an assistant, unless we were to say the Raven is simply withholding it's knowledge about the future and simply being an assistant. It would kinda defeat the purpose, but there's really no rush to spell out Aurora's significance to the future right now. Perhaps the Raven is simply making sure Aurora is walking towards her predestined future.
Um... any idea what to do?
Mostly waiting for Peace Keeper. Unless I'm missing something, it's his job as the GM to make the RP go. I'm just hoping he just simply hasn't gotten the time to get on.
I remember when I had to basically kick it into gear a good bit. Hopefully that doesn't have to happen again(me or anyone else) xD
Sowies for being away. didn't had a lot of time. So... let's see what we can do.
Well for now we have a couple ponies who have approached the future ponies. My next approach is to make the future ponies, if any would join, to try to hide somewhere. Ya guys can improvise on an idea of a hiding spot. I will come up with a scenario that will make us want to hide somewhere.
I know where the future ponies will hide. In Lighspeed and Mystic's cottage!
hmm not a bad idea.
The question is: How to make this happen? Where is this cottage? In a forest?
Not sure. That is where Misty will tell us where it is. It is also unsure if Misty will allow it to happen as well. Maybe Misty will, so I will await her return to find out and if so, we can go ahead and make our way to the destination.
Also, not sure to time lapse, or to take it slowly and pass through a couple things briefly and then make it there.
Whatever the situation is, we can improvise on a plan.
DERP! lol It's not 'Misty Fly' but 'Mystic Bliss' (lightspeed_flash)!

If you are talking about the one i mentioned then yes its in the forest far from the village as to not be "inside" the territory of any of the tribes i mainly used it as a starting point
Aye carumba lol
Come to think of it... Who was these unicorns and large guards?
If I'm thinking right, these unicorns was my group and these large guards was Earth ponies protecting their territory.
Actually, I made em up. These are just generic ponies. Just NPCs there to drive the situations. They don't have specific names, cutie marks, or bios. Unless it may be necessary to meet them, are a specific group for someone in them, I can do my best to give em the necessary information quickly, like just make em up and hope it works.
Similar to what I had with Combo and Double Edge in the last RP, but were actually meant to interact.
...
WHERE IS EVERYPONY IN THE RP??!! >:O
...
Sorry... >.<
It is alright. I guess they are waiting for me. I was just gonna wait for a couple others to see if they respond. Haven't heard of Nightshade Star for some time. Hope she is doing okay. I would hate to move this thing too far ahead of her, especially she is in the future group, and keeping up can be very tedious.
Well... let me get this ball rolling a bit.
I'd do something if my character wasn't currently hiding. It seems unlikely that she would do anything else in this situation, especially for a group of strangers. I'd love to contribute more, but I would need something to happen other than the guards getting closer. I do believe the ball is in Misty's hoofs, since I'm guessing Peacekeeper is trying to get everypony to hide in those bushes.
... okay... I thought that's earth ponies who's coming toward them, so... we flee away. But instead, it's just a group of unicorns like us... :facehoof:
I was also confused about the fact that they were Unicorns, considering how Arurora mentioned the territory belonging to the Earth Ponies, but I could make it work if I were given permission to power play that group of Unicorns.
ah yes. Sorry if it confused ya guys.
Though the village is earth pony territory, the trails can be traversed by any kind. Guess in a kind of way the group took the trail to go from Unicornia or a unicorn town to another. Just an example.
Also, feel free to take part of the unicorn group.
Permission granted.
... Should I delete what I did? (the part that these unicorns teleported away...)
And you should told us about this before the confusion, next time.
sowies
eh Gracie i think it would make sense if Unicorns were lead by Clover the clever and Princess Platinum
I'm assuming you're refering to the band of Unicorns in the RP being escorted around by either Princess Platinum or Clover the Clever. If that's the case, I don't think that would be a good idea, since the Unicorns are only engaged in a minor operation. Having either of those two present outside of Canterlot personally engaged in petty theft doesn't make much sense to me. It's far more likely Princess Platinum would delegate the task to her soldiers. And it is far too risky for the leader of a race to expose themselves in the territory of another race without due cause.
If you were refering to the band of Unicorns doing this stealing mission on orders of Princess Platinum or Clover the Clever, they are already doing that and it has been stated in the RP.
And I'm also wondering if anypony actually plans to reveal themsevles, or did you want me to continue assuming that you have yet to appear.
I was thinking of calling us out of the bush with a warning. From there I will reveal my OC.
Sound okay?
I feel we are in a predicament here. I just don't know what is happening here.
@Misty Fly : I am still unsure if whether the group is the same one Gracie is controlling or another kind of group that just came out of nowhere. It kinda sounds a bit extreme to pop out of nowhere and all happens all of a sudden in front of another group. But I don't know. I like to continue this but this kinda bummed me out. So, can you give me a depth of what you plan to do?
I'm going to wait until this issue is resolved or until I recieve instructions on whether to disregard Misty Fly's latest post.
Well... it has been 10 days and still no response from Misty about his recent post. Might as well have no choice but to backtrack the RP to the point before Misty's capture. I will make the backtrack of the RP and post the last 2 replies before it happened so we can get on the same page so to speak.
Sounds like the best plan.
Sorry for not being online for so long I was kinda doing training and stuff but besides that anyone fell like giving me the rundown of what has happened so far
Glad you can make it again. So for the future group, here is a summary.
We right now were met with a group of unicorn guards traveling through a road and the group were hiding in a large bush. Both the guards and Gracie's OC were in a little cautionary talk and we got exposed. Only the unicorns of the group got out to settle the heat so they at least have a chance to walk away clean. So right now the coast may be clear depending on whether the guard group is far away or not. That I will let Gracie decide.
There have been some smaller side stories, but may hot be played big until we encounter them. We hope to cross with another member so we can get everyone playing soon.
I'd really like to disregard that whole discussion about "fausticorn" and Discord. Those two have nothing to do with the storyline despite being the topic of about 12 posts.
Its alright with me. You can ignore all that.
Highly unlikely we will ever encounter these characters at all.
But maybe Starswirl! He's in this time. :] (He's maybe young)
If you don't want to meet him, then don't make it happen. :o
That can be a good theory. Still unsure if it feels safe to introduce a canon character, let alone a fanon character.
I see that the Future-Time Ponies are hungry... There's some options that I can tell to you:
1 - Earth Ponies grew foods. So there a lot of foods in their area. Go buy foods from them. (Only work if you have a earth pony in the group)
2 - Go find some fruits that grow on trees or bushes... I don't know if there is one on equestria that grew naturally... Hope there's one, then.
3 - (Misty's option) Go to Canterlot since most of you are unicorns but it's really far away because you are on the Earth Ponies territory... you still want to take this option?
My thought on where I am: I'm lost. No one will come in this location? If no, then she should've listen to Starswirl to never venture alone in this forest. Can someone remind her about this if you find her?
Its a good thought on where we go. I am still waiting for Gracie to respond, but if her OC is unser or it, perhaps here in the OOC we can take a vote. Of course, there are benefits and risks for each option.
option 1) for sure the only one is Maple, but pegasi cannhide their wings with something like the last Escape RP. We can carry the food out and bring back to the waiting group outside. Since earth have mass abundance, getting a good amount isn't hard. However, we have no currency or knowledge of trading of those times, and also the risk of being caught.
2) The simplest and basics of survival in the wild. No risk of getting caught and no need to travel to towns and villages. Since we do have all 3 types together, growing and maintaining plants shouldn't be too hard. Biggest risk is getting bad fruits and vegetables and can poison someone. since medicine is primative and possibly no one has learned an antidote spell or an antidote, getting sick will last a good while (no deaths here from RPers)
3) Canterlot is highly risky, though they have good governing and order. Would have decent food and possibly nice place to stay. However, pretty much a unicorn-only area, and probably a huge risk if non-unis put fake horns and test for magical control for proof. Also, may be a chance no food can be taken beyond the town limits or from the food court. One more risk is unis aren't allowed to leave the town alone or in a few unless you sneak out.
Hehe a tough decision here, or we can improvise making some split ideas.
My choice I would say is choice 1, which is the village. Not sure which one you all like.
I'm, unfortunately, of the opinion that Aurora cannot contribute more without a) proof that you are from the future or b) their objectives align.
It's also possible she just follows you around on her own perogative, but you'll have to do something, first.
hmm I see.
Also Gracie, I think Maple and Julien was trying to hint you the proof of the future by looking at Maplewood's cybernetic eye. Not sure if you caught on to it.
by the way it was never specified where are we
Oh... okay. We kinda never did exactly where we are, but did give some descriptions of the geographical location.
We are on an open road with a couple trees some bushes and a large bush we used to hide. We can see a lot of the vast land with hills at a distance. Beyond a hill where the trail leads behind could be Canterlot, and from where we are standing you can see an Earth village. Hopefully it is enough description.
we are beetween canterlot and ponyville even though there is no ponyville yet right?
In a way yes we are. We are between two places.
Griffonstones? No, you can not go there. Too far away.
Crystal Empire? Same reason for Griffonstones, you can't.
Why we can't go on those two places? Because there's no train at this time.
Pretty logical reason as of hearts warming eve. They dont want pony contact or non-crystal contacts period. Would be like a dog trying to go to africa and join the lion herd when they are pretty territorial.
Oh well... but it is in the RP, so I dont mind having to answer questions in RP form as well.
Okie dokie :3
Well we will be in the village pretty soon. Now, we do have a couple who signed up that haven't played a part or not had much significance. Though with some its understandable since their roles are still unknown or arent significant enough. Can be a good time now for a discussion of what roles do you like to play part. I am sorry if I kept you guys waiting so long.
Players of interest:
@Nightshade Star ,
@lightspeed_flash ,
@annosrules ,
@Jcfraven If you are unsure, we could try making a role for you and you can decide to accept, deny, or alter the role to your liking. I like to give everyone at least some part here.
As for all of us, we can discuss where we can hide or sleep at the village. If anyone like to discuss what hapens in the village, we can do that.
I'm really unsure about past-Match's role and such, but I will participate if we can get things figured out.
Sure. We can help you.
I guess what we can start is a few questions like: if your character is an outcast, undercover, a normal civilian?
What job would he likely have in the past?
Would he be with or against the current group?
Firstly, Match would either be an outcast or in some sort of leadership position, as these are the two extremes his character always sides with.
Whether or not he'd be with or against the group solely relies on whether he's still a part of the Unicorn society, AKA in the leadership position.
So either Match is an outcast who might side with the group, or a military leader with less than tolerant views on the diverse nature of the group.
Hmm interesting positions for your OC. Sounds great. Now the tough part to decide which one of these positions would he take.
Easy enough as an outcast disguised in a hoodie walking around. Can be the easy route in case. From there you can decide on his personal traits and role with the story.
For siding in a unicorn group in leadership, may be a bit of work to pull off. I can imagine him in a village undercover with a couple guards also in disguise. At the same time, could make more thought on his purpose to be in the village. I do find it more interesting when it comes to group interactions in this way. If you can make this one work well, it can play a good role.
I forgot about the fact I was in the roleplay, as the one I was going to be with never really did anything regarding it, then it died for a bit.
I could just come in as my new OC, instead of the Familiar idea. I think this roleplay will last for longer than the one prior, and it seems to be becoming more interesting than the one I ended up concocting.
I'll be whatever you want me to be, as I don't want to steal the reigns again.
Could I have some context on this village and why Match would have to be disguised?
@Jcfraven : If you would like a new character to play, you can add the info into the sign-up. Right now the only slot open is the past ponies, unless you want to wait if the future RPers decide to drop out.
I am fine if you try to take the spotlight again. I was terrible the last Escape RP, and made it worst by ending it with a hasty return to the future. I'll do my best to get more involed. You made it more interesting with the stories. I like to see something similar come around again.
@annosrules : So, in the village, it is earth territory. It is unlikely they trade with any pony not in their race. Since Earth ponies are great in manufactering and produce, it becomes a good essential to ltheir daily life. For unicorns to be able to obtain food or other resources, the may disguise themselves to make trades with the earth tribes. They can also steal by hiding in places, levitating any good, and hide them under their clothes if the item is small enough. Of course the risk of being locked up, may be possible unis may suffer the same punishment for even trying to trade.
Another way to disguise, if undercover, is to also be bounty hunting for outcasts, deserters, and traitors. Perhaps a pony, ex. unicorn, happens to be found amongst the earth tribes and cooperating, the unicorn guards can attempt to capture them and return them to their town, all while being undercover as to not draw attention to the earth tribes. May cause more racial tention between the two.
Well it is how I can see it if times like before were that hostile. Let me know if you still have any questions.
It just seems a little impractical for a unicorn to try and hide the large bone extending from their forehead, but if it can be done...

Details in the sign-up thread.
I suppose I can function as a guide of the land, and a relations pony(diplomatic and otherwise), if that'd be wanted.
Okay, I wonder where you will pop in... :]
The future group are not far away from a earth ponies village + Aurora who's a past pegasus is in the group.
Lightspeed and Mystic are, from their cottage in the forest, going to the north. (I don't know where they are at this time.)
A white mare with the nickname "Joy" is in a forest.
@annosrules : I understand. It is pretty silly trying to hide the horn under the hoodie. Well in a way the hoodie tha also covers their flank can still protect their identity. Don't want to be put up in a 'Most Wanted' poster with a specific cutie mark. Well thats pretty much I can think of best for the use of a cloak.
@Jcfraven : Okay. Thanks for the heads up
@Julien999 : a thanks for the brief whereabouts. I will await for lightspeed_flash on whether he will continue. I noticed Nightshade Star hasnt been on since 08/22. I have given the message to him/her to still continue or drop. I suppose that if no response is made by the 22nd of this month, I will automatically drop em from the RP.
The backstory is that she was part of the ancient war of the Sun and the Moon, siding with the Lunar Republic instead of the Solar Empire. I'm not sure how far in the past this is though, so we can modify which war if need be.
The robotic eye replacement is more for a future setting, but I find that it'd be like an experiment of the past, with someone of high knowledge and resources(alongside it being something along the lines of steampunkish(I think that's the right term?)). That can all be determined within the roleplay though.
I think the best role for me would for me to be what I stated prior, and if I am to take that role, where would you like me to be/how would you prefer the meeting be(time, location, who finds whom, etc.)?
If Match was in the village for military purposes, it wouldn't be for reconnaissance. He's more of a Teletrooper/Calvary.
(Teletrooper being like paratrooper but with teleportation rather than parachute.)
No problem, Peace. I like to collect some information about where and where is someone at this time when another is in whetever place.
Now you make me think about those thing on the RP "Cyberville".
@annosrules : hmm... gives me an idea that if something happens, yo could be able to jump into the village. Only thing is in what situation. I think for our group, we may do something that gets us caught, and then you could probably come in. We can work it up and build into the situation. How does it sound?
@Jcfraven : hehe looks like that fits well. For sure since this RP takes place 300 years before all those kinds of events in MLP:FiM happened, could be possible a lunar and solar war happened. Doesn't have to be recent in comparison to our time, may have happened like 10, 20 or even 30 or more years ago. Unless your OC is rather young adult or some sort, I guess at most 10 years have passed.
Does sound neat you can be some sort of travel guide or a diplomat. For sure you will need to disguise yourself if your character will have any hope of getting ponies together. Hmm... a good way for you to start if you are a diplomat or a guide, you can be guiding a small group of earth ponies around the village. Sound good for you?
@Julien999 : I realized if an RP needs to be running well, we should know a few stuff like whereabouts and actions other people are or will take to ensure we have fun.
Hehe I get ya for the other RP. It is to avoid confusion.
Sounds alright.
Sure. What's the village called, and which one? I see two were mentioned one of sun and moon, unless those were unrelated.
well... I will assume it is an unrelated village. Lets assume this one is a neutral village with no grudge against either groups. Kinda like a Switzerland for Earth tribes.
I don't think I ever came up with a name for it. Though even times back towns and villages have names.
I have a few names I came up with. Not sure which works more:
Tetra
Meadowland
Barktown (as in tree bark)
Apple Valley (pulled this one from a real world area X3 )
Amellia
Sensara
Stallimare
Meaning no grudge against those two divisions(sun and moon)?
Also, to suggest a name, Earthly Valley?
Yes. No grudge, favors. Purely neutral. In a way is like a ponyville, except for Earth Ponies.
If ya like, we can call it Earthly Valley. So that can be our village name.
It's up to you, just wanted to make that suggestion.
I suppose I can do my first new post now, if that'd be fine.
ah okay.
Hmmm my guess is between Meadowland and Earthly Valley. I will put the randum number generator to see which one it goes.
1) Meadowland
2) Earthly Valley
[blockquote]Rolled 1d2 : 2, total 2[/blockquote]
Also, Welcome aboard to start when you are ready.
@Peace_Keeper I'm thinking that Match would be a member of the Solar unicorns, and is in command of a Dragoon Troop known as the Iron Lances. Key tactics involve Match overcharging the unicorns' magic, enabling them to more easily teleport for flanking or shock style tactics. Match himself would utilize the destructive nature of his teleport by porting into a group of ponies and catching them in the fire-burst. Possible reasons for being in the village are a raid for supplies, raid for demoralization and as a show of power, or to punish the village for not fulfilling a payment.
Alter as you see fit.
Edit:
Other possible reason, hostile take over and imperialization.
@annosrules : Hmm that can work out.
Hehe pretty brutal, but then again it is the past, almost anything is tension for disaster. Pretty understandable to be battling the other tribes to obtain goods and stuff. So pretty much your group would be raiders.
Liking the idea. I can allow for the pretty hefty things, just make sure not to go overboard with doom and destruction.
Sounds like you may have your role set. Just wondering how you will enter the RP.
Nightfall on the first night?
I hope how I portrayed the leadership and nature of the village is acceptable by you guys.
Sure. Could be a nightfall on the first night.
So far you are doing okay Jcfraven.
Also, lets wait for Gracie as well. Dont want to get too far ahead without everyone.
Since I havent got a response yet, I will have to automatically drop her from the RP.
Still awaiting for Lightspeed, which I presume is having internet trouble.
Havent heard from Gracie for a while, but hope she returns.
It has been a pretty long while since lightspeed_flash and Gracie Sky have been online. Sure am pretty sorry this RP has been in a poor standstill waiting for them.
I do know they have situations that prevent them from coming online, so I will not give them a deadline. I'll keep both here for now until they return and make the decision.
Now, about this RP. If I want to keep it going alive, I suppose I could give the greenlight to continue this RP again. I can keep the characters of the missing roleplayers on the same spot or group, just behind for the ride. We can also give a summary for them to help catch up.
What ya guys think? Should we continue on and not let it collect dust?
Well, seems like that lightspeed_flash's ponies went in a random way to exploring a area. For Gracie Sky's pony, she's just there observing what options the Future Group would take and make sure that nothing bad would happen...
Yeah... I don't know what should we do...
I already know their whereabouts. Its just whether to continue the story without them, but play it as if they are still there.
You already know my thoughts, but their absence should not halt the continuation of the roleplay, regardless of the circumstances. We should, however, remember to take care to document anything important that they should know upon returning.
For sure I will keep them up to date when they return. So... lets keep them in the list, lets have them continue on. Lightspeed Flash and Mystic Bliss is somewhere in the RP away from the group, so they are safe. Aurora Sky is within the group, so we will carry her around with us till she returns. Lets not interact with these OCs until they return.
@Maplewood @annosrules @Blizzard_Frost @Julien999 @Misty Fly @JcfravenWe are ready to continue the RP again in 24 hours. Want to give everyone the notice before we start again.
Huh?
Alrighty, I'm ready to continue. Little thing : As a Unicorn, you can disguise with your magic.
Well it was the idea to continue the RP while we wait for the two absent to return.
I didn't want to just leave the RP to stand still and do nothing to wait for the absent ones.
If there is any question or suggestions, I could take a listen to them.
NO! unicorns can disguise with using those turbans
I don't mind if you use turbans. Hehe do whatever you can.
However keep together with your magical abilities. Not all unicorns are capable of such thing unless your OC has that talent or something similar to that level of magic.
Okay, we can move with this. Still waiting the other to get ready to continue.
Hope we all ready. I gave a full day for everyone to catch up with the news to continue.
I also allow for anything on everyone's mind on why to continue, or stop.
All,I know is that I arrive with the unicorn nation.
We are ready to continue this RP again.
I'm just waiting on basically the group of active members to say that they're ready to go.
Sure.
Well just in case there is still no other responses, I'll give it like 3-5 more days before continuing without them. I'll message if they are still going to RP.
Peace, I probably won't be checking the thread vigilantly, so just message me when you want the raid to occur.
Sure thing. We'll let you know when you are open for a raid. Sorry is taking some time.
Hehehe... I guess I should stop my bonus thing that they are my headcanon story in your RP.
You don't have to if it doesn't involve something too crazy.
Should I just go ahead? Or continue waiting?
Go ahead. No more new posts are coming in from the future group and companions.
Post Merge
@annosrules : You are free to enter the RP now. Surprise us if you wish ^-^
Blah! Forgot to post to this RP, so sorry.
Is alright. No worries.
Didn't expect to be put in the role of the ELU. XD
Also, a lot of assumptions are being made about my character...
Alright, I'm calling foul. Is there some underlying plot that I am unaware of? Because I hadn't planned for any of thus stuff to happen, and now Match is the leader of an evil army of unicorns.
*bump*
Um... Well, you acted pretty well as a villain but it's for protecting your race, Unicorns, isn't it? And it's also because Earth ponies of this village didn't give to them foods? x3
That's one of the thing that nothing similar happened in the old "Escape to the Future".
Of course there's some guards who came but not that many.
Post Merge
I know a reason to why they attacked this village : Earth ponies of this village broke the rules for giving foods to unicorns. They didn't gave to them.
There was going to be more reasons, then suddenly I'm supposedly a part of some unifying force and just played along. But things are getting out of hand.
@annosrules : hmm. Guess it is unexpected to be labeled as an evil leader. To be honest, I didn't really made the idea of giving you a group name or the labeling. I would think you already had a name and introduce it. If all, Jc had more of the influence of this. I would hear his side as well.
Well... kinda true Julien, however, in this RP, every race in the past are certainly against each other. Any group could be called evil, even Lunar's group. Jc said Bat Ponies tend to be a neutral to all race, but not necessarily all ponies wouldn't mind. There is always ponies out there who even have hatred to bats just as much, and who knows not all bat ponies are nice. They probably just as mistrustful as every other pony race. Its why Peacemaker still doesn't trust Lunar much.
So annos, I understand how you feel being in the position of being called the bad guy. I assume your group is from Canterlot. Misty and I had a plan to go to Canterlot on the next day. Probably meet with your character to understand more of you and your group. Not sure if you would accept this plan I had. If not, we could think of something.
I do apologize for as far as I went with it, but my thought process was that Annos' group invaded an Earth Pony Village(direct contrast to their race), started destroying it and the like, so I made the assumption of evil intent, and rolled with that idea, generating an entire backstory in my head and going for it.
If you wish to change things, Peace is the final word, so it's up to him.
There just seemed to be a lot of OOC knowledge, a bit of powerplaying, and more than a sprinkling of godmodding concerning my character. I can still function with him, but there will have to be a lot of repair work if I am to ever make him what I had planned him to be.

May I inquire as to what you mean? I don't recall any of that occurring, but if it did, I want to correct any issues from my end.
Also, I apologize for building your character and group without consultation, I went a bit too far.
The sudden appearance of an army, you giving me three options like they were the only ones I had, that "horn flicking" thing you did, the stating I'm with ELU, the knowing apprx. where I teleported to, and then someone said that they knew my name later on and that I was the commander of the "evil" ELU. Just to name what I can remember.
Ah. Well, I'm not one to deny my faults, I apologize for those examples and the other stuff not mentioned.
If you want, and if Peace would allow, we can simply restart the whole invasion and go about it like you wanted it to, without me causing problems.
I can recover, just voicing my objections to the scenario that unfolded in the hopes of reducing overall impact and further issues.
Hopefully in the future we comform to prevent more issues. I really do appreciate giving this a good use X3 .
Would you like this RP to continue on?
As I said, I can manage my way back. So yes, go right on ahead.
I didn't said that you are a "evil" commander, but a strong commander. Of course she know his name since she's a unicorn who live in Canterlot.
Just making sure that you guys are still in the village, too lazy to backlog too far :P
I'm ready to change the night to day. Y'all can continue before getting ready to move on. :P
Okay, so. If I didn't reply, the reason is this.

I don't have other idea nor I don't know the night will be much longer.
I'm just waiting for the rest to do their stuff first. Once they get the go ahead we ca continue to the next day
Seems this RP fell asleep again.
I will have finals this week so I will be gone till like Thursday.
Hopefully I will return and perhaps get this RP finally rolling along.
Ya guys enjoy your times.
Take care. We will try to find a solution how to continue it. I never expected to continue it during the night time like that. :v
I have returned. Seems it still got a standstill.
Well... to continue it on... my solution to continue this portion of event is to bring my old 2 temporary OCs.
Also might do a role call to everyone who is participating here sometime soon.
You know that my side story rp will be too awkward at this time, that's why I'm not continuing but I never thought that this night will be longer. (I said it 2 times xD )
well I will see how much this will carry. I dont want to just skip it entirely.
I also had a few planned stuff to do in this RP.
You can probably skip past the night thing, all those players basically abandoned the thread. Then you guys can find the aftermath, and maybe a familiar face.
Well alright. Seems I try something and it only runs a step before it just stops. I will adjust my post so it can continue on this RP.
Also its time for a role call for those who are still active to participate.
@Jcfraven @Maplewood @Blizzard_Frost @Misty Fly @Gracie Sky I am doing rolecall to clean up the roster for whoever are still inactive. I will need to know that you are still active for this RP and will like a response within a week. If no response is made by 12/18 I will automatically drop you off the roster.
hey sorry for no replie
I don't want to drop out of it, but I don't really have anything anymore for it. My focus is on everything else. I apologize for that.
Its alright. Guess none of you know how to approach the situation further. I was also kinda stumped too, though the nature of both my OCs prevent from entering a conflict like that.
My thought of the next is for the next day to go into Canterlot and hear from their story.
Hey i.m still in i hope
I was thinking that they'd come across the charred remains of that section of forest, and find a stallion fitting the description of Match Stick their unconscious and wounded, and we just pretend that the previous leader was somepony else.
Basicaly, you added another character. I think we should modify our post if something has changed. Example : if annosrules want to change that the leader is not Match, we should modify our post which we mentioned "Match" into "the leader of this unicorns unite" (uh, name what you want we should call that group).
@Misty Fly : You still in. Thanks for responding on my role call.
@annosrules : We can do that. I'll get a course to the battlefield and then to Canterlot.
@Julien999 : No need to change it. In the RP we assume Match is the leader. Well RPs do tend to be dynamic so twists and improvisations are likely. Besides, a lot of this stuff is already written. Rewriting them will definitely throw off the RP's direction massively. You know what they say, the show must go on.
Seems the deadline of rolecall is today.
Seems the only one absent is
@Gracie Sky . Unfortunately, with such a long absence, I'm afraid I will have to drop you out of the RP.
However, if you wish to return again to the RP, you can fill up the sign-up application again.
As for the RP, I just realized and I have misread. Sorry about that
@annosrules . I will change all the assumptions of the leader being somepony else.
However, the only knowledge of which ponies where in that battle against Match Stick is
@Jcfraven 's OC Lunar Rose. Only he can identify that it is Match Stick from before.
All others ran to safetly.
I'll try to hop back in, if you want. I'll need a rundown of where we are though, and perhaps maybe a recap. Quite frankly, I don't remember much of before in the roleplay, since it's been so long since last I roleplayed in the thread.
Also, ugh, switching back to Lunar Rose, I don't even like that OC of mine anymore xD.
Yeeeaaaah... I could see how long she's not online... Since september... I hope Gracie's alright. (You could think it's weird that a non-brony like me worry for bronies, right? Well, bronies live like other's, right? :s (Respect...))
@Jcfraven : Alright. So... a summary of what happened after your absence.
- The few curious ponies arrive at the scene of the battle between the bat ponies and the unicorns which the area is engulfed with lots of ash. The group watch a bit and then return back to Lunar's campsite. Now next day Peacemaker proposes a plan to be able to get some food from Canterlot. However the curiosity returns them back to the battlefield where it was all burned and covered with ash. They find Match laying on the ground and are now attempting to take him to Canterlot to help him get aid. Our current location is in an area of the charred battlefield.
Also... I am surprised. Hehe well some point we start to grow 'meh' with some of our OCs sooner or later X3
-----------------------------------
@Julien999 : Same here. Been a very long time. Hopefully we can hear something from her soon.

Alright. Honestly, I'm half tempted to try to bring my newest OC into the mix, with a transfer off occurring(like my other OC would be the guide from the point on. He's a unicorn of batpony descent, if you were curious).
If you feel like adding a new OC for you, feel free to add it to the sign-up list.
Quote from: Peace Keeper on 2015 Dec 18, 18:58:38

Went ahead and did so.
Cool. And I have entered your new OC
Alright. I replied in the sign-up, by the way.
Oookay... Who think it's a good idea to make Blizzard disguising himself as an alicorn...? I mean, seriously...
@Jcfraven For sure we don't want to establish more on Match. I would actually allow more for Match to share his side of the story more. I mean you can give a bit more (though you probably gave too much on Match as it is), however Match can still give his side of the story as well. Would be something like a noir to try to piece together the situations that lead up to the battle.
I suppose. I already borderlined on completely breaking the rules of the forum before though, and angered him in the process, if I recall the situation correctly. Better to just let him explain the information of who he and his group is, for Raven to simply know from the Equestrian Peace Network(forgot the name again), or for Match to explain during his consciousness.
Well for one I think the pegasi group out of nowhere may have gone a bit OP.
So guess that is it for your side of the story. Now to get Match in over.
@annosrules : We are about to bring you over. To bring you up to speed, we are currently in Canterlot. Peacemaker, Raven, and Match are in the hospital medical room healing Match up while Peacemaker and Raven exchange information about how Match ended up in his condition and how it all started. Marble and Blizzard who is trying to disguise himself as an alicorn, which apparently was able to slip free with the receptionist at the hospital, are waiting in the hospital lobby. Maple is hiding around near the group inside Canterlot. Julien999's character is outside guarding the front gate, and Peacekeeper is outside the Canterlot Walls.
Now will like to know how and when you wish to awaken back to conciousness, and the possibility of sharing your side of the story of how and why you entered the earth village and the battle in the nightfall.
I'm going to wait for someone to attend Match.
@Misty Fly @Blizzard_Frost @Maplewood I should give you guys a side story to get something rolling. So far every main character is in Canterlot except for 1, which is Peacekeeper. What I think could perhaps be fun is figure out how to bring Keeper inside Canterlot without being caught.
@Julien999 : It is optional for you too to also help them as well. You can also be the obstacle that prevents bringing any non-unicorns inside.
For ya guys, be sure to be clear on your plannings and actions, and especially your posts. This will help clear a lot of confusion. Basically the planning is all up to you guys to decide how to bring Keeper in, just make sure it doesn't break logic, or rules.
If any questions or concerns you feel you want to express, feel free to ask. I'll do my best to help.
Well, my character is no longer the guard after noon, but it's true that she will disagree to see a non-unicorn in Canterlot.
If she notices Blizzard... My only thought to him will be "what the heck?? Why he's an Alicorn?"
From what I can gather, here is my summary
-The two devised a plan to bring Keeper in by giving him a fake horn to make him look like an alicorn.
-They leave out of the hospital
-They approach a bush
-They find Keeper
Now... a huge problem here is that the procedure is way too vague, and too short. When leaving the hospital then to the bush, what I thought in my head is it can be any bush, whether next to the hospital, at the princess' castle, outside of the walls, or at the earth village. Also, might be a chance no guards were there, but that is seemingly ever possible. In times when the EUP are divided, they need to stand guard in case of intruders.
For sure, there is not enough details on how they got out of Canterlot. It isn't breaking logic, it is more like leaving a large empty spot in the story. I reallly really advise to please, please give details on how they got out. No more vague plots. Makes it so difficult to follow what is going on. It was already advised before, please not do this again.

Yes... It almost seems like someone erased a part of a story in this point... Making a big empty thing which make you think something really big is missing. You are right, that's not really breaking logic but I said this in my way...
Now, let's plan something on what will happen next. They are not far from my character now. :P
So... things I like to implement for our small group is to have is having at least one of the non-unicorns caught, a kiss on Peacemaker, and even a small backstory about Peacemaker's sharingan. But also I will need to return to the plaza for Peacemaker to be with Raven when he returns.
So for the first stop is the kiss of Peacemaker. What shouldn't be happening yet are the non-unicorns being caught. So they all should be in inconspicuous disguises that makes them look like unicorns.
So... let's discuss how we will interact.

Wait, so you're planning that one of the non-unicorns to get caught because he's left alone? lol I don't think it will happen if they are together, but only when they are separated.
The kiss: I don't know how or what we should do with it. Just doing it to make Peacemaker remember about this mare from yesterday? Or something like this?
Non-unicorns: So, which one of you will be the non-unicorn who will be separated from the group and then get caught? I wonder how this will go.
The sharingan: It seems like something will make Peacemaker angry that his sharingan will be activated with his anger. Uh oh, alright, I don't know... (Don't look into his eyes!)
Post Merge
Okay, let's talk about this kiss first since it will be happening before the others.
Surely. I believe it will be too early to start off the reveal of the non-unicorns. I perhaps wait it out till the next RP day. As for the sharingan as well, I want to do that as well on the next RP day. So for today we can work on the kiss. So all of us will be talking about something different each. Perhaps we will be at a table or something. Peacemaker will not know it is the same pony until he gets kissed. Hmm.. I suppose not sure what we will be doing during the time Peacemaker meets with Raven. Well... guess we can all be a part with Raven in the meeting. So.. just putting things one by one together.
I was expecting those reaction from the future group. xD
Don't worry, she won't bite! She will keep the secret in her way! That's not a real situation, it's just a test, so Blizzard (and maybe Peacekeeper) won't be thrown into the dungeon by her. :P Plus it's too early to by caught now. :0
Hehe one thing for sure, if anypony attempts Peacekeeper to be thrown in Canterlot dungeons, Peacemaker's gonna play defense for sure. Hehe even blurt out the most unbelievable reason why none shall ad hominem Keeper to the dungeon. x3
Okay, I really need to know where everyone is headed in order to reinstall my character into the RP, or otherwise relinquish him from it.

The future group are now somewhere in the food court in Canterlot. Something is happening to Peacemaker just because of a little kiss that is affecting the character.
Also, I'll say that I'm present in advance for this RP!
@annosrules : Every one of us are in Canterlot in the food court. I was wanting to begin to find a place to stay for the future ponies.
Also darn it
@Julien999 for beating me lol
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to implement this for My RPs. It is something I want to do every first day of the month. I want to take role on the roster to see if everyone that signed up are still RPing. I may do this in the future if I feel it is pretty effective. So let's see how it goes.
Role call. Any answer to here or post in the RP is proof enough of your presence. You have 2 weeks to respond to the role. Failure to do so will cause you to automatically be dropped from the RP. (might be shrunk to 1 week, not sure).
(Since annosrules and julien999 posted before I was able to do this I count as being present in the roster x3 )
@Maplewood - CHECK
@Blizzard_Frost - CHECK
@Misty Fly - CHECK
@Jcfraven - CHECK
Allright so basically we are going towards the hospital at the moment i think?
Well maybe not. We may now lead to a motel or something to stay in.
just checking in, letting you know i'm still alive
still here was trying to react to the outburst
I'm here.

Uh oh, we triggered those two at the same day! Not good! Rewind or is it good enough? xD lol
I think I did a big mistake!
Eeee... yea. Just realized that right now.
Oof this is going to be tough to figure out how to improvise this. Well in one easy assumption, I could say that for the background crowd that since they were a bit far from the group, the sharingan appears to look just like regular red eyes.
However for the reveal... this one is a tough one to improvise. Ugh... can't think of any assumptions without manipulating actions or thoughts of OCs since I don't want to power-play it that badly. Unfortunately for the reveal-to-next-day idea to work, Blizzard has to be well disguised by hiding his wings completely and the assumption that the white unicorn does not know that Maple is an earth since the hood does not reveal his lack of horn.
To go with this plan, a rewind has to be made before the white unicorn knew Maple's an earth and start from there.
Was thinking of option number two, but with the Peacemaker already drawing attention, and to keep things logical, the guards will have to be called in to arrest Maple and Blizzard since they are Earth and a make-believe alicorn respectively, and a few ponies do not buy into the alicorn and will pull the fake horn off. They are out in the open without a descent disguise and a good drawn attention would check them out closely enough and realize and expose them.
Wow... now thinking of the future outcomes, I now see a disaster coming x3 Guess now its a good idea to rewind this again.

Also... Everyone in the RP is here so the list is checked good.

To go with this plan, a rewind has to be made before the white unicorn knew Maple's an earth and start from there.
Was thinking of option number two, but with the Peacemaker already drawing attention, and to keep things logical, the guards will have to be called in to arrest Maple and Blizzard since they are Earth and a make-believe alicorn respectively, and a few ponies do not buy into the alicorn and will pull the fake horn off. They are out in the open without a descent disguise and a good drawn attention would check them out closely enough and realize and expose them.
Wow... now thinking of the future outcomes, I now see a disaster coming x3 Guess now its a good idea to rewind this again.

Also... Everyone in the RP is here so the list is checked good.
Personally, I think it would have been an interesting arc of the story, having them arrested, and Raven, given the fact he's part of the Equestrian Unity Network(and a batpony), going and talking to the princess. It would've given a reason to the meeting of her. A rewind is fine as well, of course, I'm just giving my two cents.
Who made the mistake? I don't know!
I think that Peace is the one who made the mistake. Okay sure, my character realizing they aren't a unicorn isn't an problem since she won't tell to anypony.
Actually, I mostly thing this is OUR fault to have made Peacemaker angry because Peace planned to make the "Sharingan" and the "Reveal of the non-unicorns" in the next RP Day.
In this RP Day, we worked on the kiss. This is well made until I figured this isn't what me and Peace Keeper planned... o_O I didn't expected that the sharingan will be triggered so soon...
Ah. Hmm... guess I forgot to point it out. If Peacemaker gets angry enough he activates it, and he does have the control whether to petrify or not.
I tried thinking through how to go around this without manipulating a lot of things here. I mean I would actually kept this going,
Now that I realize it, I think I could have kept this going without making Peacemaker scream out loud.
Well I think is too late to turn back now. Gosh... I am confused now.
Alright... Tell y'all what we could do. We can replay our parts again, or go for the alternate. Things may go differently, but I leave you guys to decide which planned actions to check:
-Exposure of non-unicorns
If scenario checked: Arresting of non-unicorns
-Reveal of the sharingan
You guys decide where this direction takes us. Julien you can determine whether your OC discover them or not (you can replay that role or change up, its up to you). I read and gave the thought of your scenario Raven, so I leave the guards to you. If we recreate Peacemaker scream that catches attention (or if any other action from anyone catches attention), you can decide to bring them in to arrest or not. Depending on how everyone plays out in these scenarios, I will decide whether the sharingan is revealed or not. Don't worry if one or more of these do not get checked for that RP day, it will be saved on the second.
I leave the quill and ink to ya guys.
If you got any questions, comments, or concerns, you are free to post.
Aww... why rewinding to that part? The little kiss was fine until those ponies said "Oh~ you got a marefriend~!" thing that made him goes angry... I mean, c'mon! Just a little kiss like does not mean they are directly marefriend/coltfriend...
Well true. But that is IF you and everyone else want to recreate that. I play along to your guys' path. I mean it doesn't have to be written in stone. Even a little improvisation could make things interesting.
For sure a kiss doesn't mean a colt or marefriend. Could mean something else, but it is something shocking Peacemaker can't stop thinking about. Being kissed by a complete stranger sure is a funny storry to tell x3
I liked the teasing though, it reminded me of the days of old(that I hated, but I laugh about now).
I personally think we should just keep what we did before, and proceed like it was going to.
I did the reveal thing because I assumed that it would be obvious to her that the group wasn't as it appears, then it was just disregarded. I don't mind it if we do it that way, just saying it to put it out there.

xD Sorry... But my character decided to be a little friendly if she want to be trusted and not get a lot of hate from what she did... xD
It's fine. We could do an ambush by others of the guard, who had been watching the group and followed you, if we want to do that route. We don't have to do so though, just suggesting.
I'm just wondering who is gonna keep the ball rolling so that we can find a room and give Peacemaker that kiss? Well I want to nominate Julien to show us to the motel or something since he is the past pony perhaps a resident of Canterlot. Should know something.
If not, I can probably lead us to it. Would attempt the trial-and-error stuff till we find the right place lol
Seems like
@Nameless Whirlwind joined in this RP. Welcome aboard!
To make you know, Canterlot don't allow non-unicorns in, there's guards at the entrance. But if you are well disguised as them, they could be tricked.
WARNING! Some of the guards can ask you to use magic to prove that you are really a unicorn, which the future group are lucky since they didn't met one. Well... not yet. (my character is one of the unicorns who ask them to use magic, but since it's rewinded, the future group do no longer know that unicorns guard could ask them to use magic.)

I can't believe my brain did that... :o
Spell Unicorn = Serious Charm
Strength Unicorn = Might Dream
Hmm... well guess we can use those for now. They are temporary characters x3 Those sound good.
Gives me a sense by what Might Dream means. Almost sounds like a pony version of Punch-Out's Mr. Sandman.

Hehe, I see you named the strength one: Mighty Night. This is a good name too. :P
Hey
@Misty Fly . I am curious about the Demon thing. Anything you using there or what you plan later on?
well that demon is my past life so i want to find out more
Wait what? But you said Marble was a baker in her past life, and now she was a demon in her past life in the same time period? Confusing me here boi.
Also... I feeling uncomfortable with this. You seriously sure this isn't gonna affect the RP dramatically? I really don't want to deal with a demon in the RP. It is already way beyond out of proportion as it is. I mean you can continue, just be careful what you do.
Also you and Blizzard seem like ya guys want to be on your own taking your own path. Was wondering, should we try to follow you and bring you back or should we just disregard you two till ya guys return? (assuming nothing goes wrong that doesn't require an rewrite or rewind of the RP.)
If you guys intend to go it alone together in the mean time... PLEASE!!! add descritpion to your posts. It is hard trying to read and make logical sense.
And as always, have fun.

Well... Marble was a baker in the past (present time -somewhere between 1 to 10 years ago). But here, Misty said that in her past life (previous life of Marble/1000 years ago) was a demon.
Wait really? I thought it was during this time. Wow. Guess so much passed by in the RP I forgot.
Alright I scratch that.

@Misty Fly ? Peace asked if Marble will going in that quest with only Blizzard or if the remaining future group + Raven should try to find you two and then going in that quest...
Wait a minute... Isn't it changing the past if you meet your demon self? (Um... maybe not...)
ye sure i wouldn't mind if others would come
To explain some of my thoughts, I think it'd be neat to explore more the royalty of the olden Equestria some. Also, if we go with an arc of the princess finding out, we could do a plotline of conflict arising from talks of time travel spreading to the other royalties of the land.
Ah I see. Sounds good.
Can work out great. Just as long as 2 of these situations do not arise
-Exposure of non-unicorns
-Revealing of Peacemaker's sharingan
These two scenarios will come on the next RP day. So I will need to find a way to adapt these scenarios together in a smooth story flow in the short-run and long-run. In the meantime, let's continue this. You can also give some info that comes into your mind.
And that night time is taking a good amount of time..
Hehe sorry. Just trying to get things step-by-step. Also would try to hope to link well for all the characters to begin sleeping when me and Raven, and Lunar's OCs, are finished with our thing.
I would hate to skip other people in their story arc.

"Medallion? Interesting...explain."
Casual spy is causal.
How should I go about introducing and interaction with Shadow Fire in th is rp.
Hmm.... this is a predicament here.
We don't have much... wait! Let's see if Julien wants to be open with his OCs to be with ya. Since it is night time, your character could sneak in the darkness. If not, a proper disguise could be added to your OC from the start to adapt to the unicorns. Pretty much most of us are occupied in small groups.
Oh yea, kinda forgot about LunarDusk. Not sure if dropping by him would be okay since he is being searched.
Well... we can talk with the two to see if they are alright to have you join in.
Eeesh... Why Misty plan to make it now... Probably going Blizzard first then Peacekeeper tomorrow... Not sure. Call the rewind? Or doing something like Blizzard managed to hide but then he gets found back in the next day?
I have no idea!
Well... I don't think it is good now to rewind. The only assumption I could make is the other unicorns didn't see Blizzard clearly without the horn. Perhaps figuring if they fit the description of the thief. This is my best case scenario how I can rewrite without breaking plans.

X3 Eh you are scaring me here Blizzard. What you plan to do?
I will now begin to do another roll call for this RP. As before just shout out that you are here or mark in any way you are still here. However, if I do not receive an answer you will be automatically dropped out. The deadline for answering the role is April 1st.
If you weren't able to answer the roll call for any reason and you still want to continue to RP, let me know so I can accommodate you back into the RP.

bleurgh
Present and has no idea what to do right now in this.
What the heck? Vague things again!
*-HUH... seems everyone is here x3.
Alrighties, roll call is done.
Also, is Blizzard still in the open or did someone got him to safety?
Edit: i assume everyone is now sheltered from being spotted correct?
Eh... Eeeeeehhh。。。 Misty is doing something impossible again, I guess...
you bet i am...why is it impossible? i just left the abandoned house and i saw burned markings on the ground as if something was there....

He didn't mean that part, he meant in reference to many prior situations of you doing the impossible, and doing illogical things, he assumed you were starting to do yet another thing falling under one of those categories. The fact you aren't saying anything about what it is makes me concerned as well.
no seriously i DO read your posts but EVERYTIME i write something its always wrong you always have to tell me to stick to this or stick to that i don't want to leave this RP but i think you want to kick me out
We don't want to kick you out, we want you to make sense, and use logic and reasoning in your posts, adding enough detail that we know what you're saying and doing. Alongside that, we want you to actually read and understand our posts. You claim you read them, but I've been proving that you either don't, or fail to comprehend them.
If you're confused, you can always ask here, but please, try to start making sense, and add enough detail that we can actually understand what you're doing, seeing, and saying, to whom/what/etc..
Alright everybody. I will like for all ponies of the future group and those who wish to be with the group to meet up soon. I will be making a main plotline to reveal the ponies sometime soon so be prepared to be given the situations when it comes.
I noticed some haven't been quite as active and I can understand if you are busy or just not feeling the RP spirit. If you want, you can settle your pony somewhere or bring them along the group. I'll make sure to include them along but won't stress too much influence on to them.
Let me know soon about the situations and we can work something out together so you can continue enjoying the RP.
letz do this because I'm feeling it
I want someone to give me a order because I never have a idea.
@Julien999 We are about to do the reveal, so I was wondering if you like to do the favor of exposing the future ponies? Since Unknown is part guard, she does have authority to do homeland security. I'll give you a bit of details if you accept.
-------------------------------------
@annosrules @Nameless Whirlwind @LunarDusk @SandFire Seems ya guys gotten silent, and perhaps either waiting for one another, or just been busy or unmotivated of some sort, or possibly confused as to what to do next. I am going to plan a critical story plot soon so I like to notify to ya guys that if you wish to participate let me know. The plot is the future non-unicorns being exposed and will be captured, along with unicorns who have connections to them. If you do wish, I also like to know if you will be in anytime active during the situation. If not, I can try accommodating for your character being involved without powerplaying and bring them along the ride.
Hue I'll join...im just waiting for an opportunity because I got stuck.
Wait, I didn't reaplied to this? How strange, I was sure to have said something. :ajshifty:
Alright so if you are carrying this situation, this is how it is gonna happen.
From reading the posts, Blizzard came running around looking for the group, which at that time had no horn, so it can be that some guard may have saw Blizzard and given words to a guard or guards. And so, I want the scenario to go that while they are eating, a guard comes up and asks about a loose, grayish non-unicorn running around that seems to match his description and asks to check under his party hat. There may be some resistance to comply so expect something like that to happen.
Scenario 1) If resistance happens, the guard immediately calls for back-up to hold down the pony or ponies around him with force and remove the hat from Blizzard, arresting him and the group for helping with resisting or for walking around with Blizzard if they don't resist.
Scenario 2) If no resistance happens, the guard can easily remove the cap and arrest him without excessive force. The guard notifies to the group that they are also arrested for keeping a non-pony around without permission.
After each of the scenarios, the guards now do check-up around the remaining parties, which include removing or checking clothing. This will completely expose the entire non-unicorns in the party and will arrest the entire party. They will be tied by their hooves and wings if pegasi, and escorted to the princess' castle. I will take the extra step there. Eventually they will be sent to the dungeon.
This is how it will go. Also, there will be a unicorn guard who's magic supersedes most unicorn's magic of resistance whether it be magical strength or tricks. Also said unicorn may be capable of catching an escaping pony.
If any questions, comments, or issues of this, let me know.
Sounds good. I can't wait for the moment of "And there they are" xD

Eesh, I orobably didnt read that part.
I remember discussing it, but I don't remember you declining the offer clearly. I do remember never seeing you say "no" clearly, unless you implicitly said no.
So... Just a clear answer, will you accept the task?
I won't accept it. Let another guard catch them.
Alrighties. Thank you.
So means I shall do the revealing.
Okay guys. Since we are in a new month again, I will now again start a roll call for every RPer in this RP. Again as before, you must respond in any way that you are still here to RP(whether on hiatus or not), and if you fail I will automatically drop you from the RP. And again, if there is a reason you couldn't reply within the deadline and still wish to continue RPing, we can work a way to readmit you back in.
The deadline is one week from now, which is May 9th at 12 AM EST

but...Peace you said i,m CLEAR
And it's the same for Maplewood...
By the way, I haven't seen Blizzard Frost. Viewing at his forum profile, he wasn't online there's 9 days ago...
Misty Fly:
Hmm... I never seen you respond for this RP. I know for he others. Just making sure cause some RPs people can be active, but in others they stay silent. Alright since you responded, I'll clear you out.
Julien999:
I haven't seen him respond to the call or posted after May 1st. I am just making sure people are still active. I mean he is probably waiting so badly for this RP to move, and I do apologize. But I do this to make sure they are still around to RP when we begin again. Well I will message to him if he still wqnts to take part. I think you have other ways to contact him if he still in this.
Also, for Blizzard, it has been a while, and I am not sure of his long disappearance. However the show must go on, and he got about 2 days remaining as of now before I continue with him dropped out, including some others.
Hopefully after this call we can get everything moving like it should be.
I had some thoughts, by the way, regarding this roleplay:
If we wanted to expand the roleplay even more, I have some ideas:
1. When the crew gets captured, it's attempted to remain as a secret, but word gets leaked to the ruling cities of the other two races, leading to a fight at a meeting between the three(like it's been shown they used to do), and an attempt to take the crew to steal the information away from the unicorns, out of fear and possible bribing material.
2. When all is said and done, and the ponies return to their future, that it's changed(that we can discuss what's changed), and Raven joins them, and they try to figure out the mystery of what happened, and try to find some way to correct what broke the timeline(or how to fix the time as it is). This would make an interesting sequel to this roleplay, and actually have a reason for existing, unlike the last time I suggested a sequel.
Also, what is Misty doing? I wouldn't think after everything that has happened, that all of a sudden any of the crew would make ridiculous comments to a guard, especially during that time. It just seems ridiculous.

Well, all I know is that on the way how Misty is RPying on most of the RPs, the characters he uses will mostly make more trouble.
They are the kind of characters who we can facepalm a lot because of their randomness and stupid stuffs. No offense.
P.S. : Misty never read the OOC. (Or do not look into it)
To Maple:
I probably didn't remember it. Alright so you are clear Maple.
To Raven:
For the ideas.
1) Funny enough, It is similar to what I was actually planning to do. Though does gives me a couple ideas on the scenarios after capture.
2) Hmm... I haven't given a thought on it. Well if we do intend for a continuation, I will need to give thoughts about it. Gonna take some bit of time to put a good plot together. In the meantime, we can continue with our current situation. Thanks for seeing interest in this.
As for Misty... well I do see his characters who possibly take no consideration into the severity of the situation. Not sure if that's the character's personality, or if he is even't thinking what he is doing. Well hopefully he doesn't do something beyond actual thought when the capture scenario begins. Just 20 or less hours remaining for the rest to respond before I drop them.

If you'd like, I need more writing practice, I could try to cook up a good sequel story/plot(I might even adapt this roleplay into a story-story(fanfiction) later, with your permission).
i do read the OOC

Escape to the Future : Extended Edition.
I like both. The change could be on the reason for why they were fighting for? Or when they fought? Oh wait, I guess it's the Alicorns things are changed.
I don't know! Try to find out in the next chapter of Escape to the Future: Different Home.
I have finally returned and finished with school for now. I can finally return to RPing starting tomorrow.
Also since we haven't gotten any responses, I can finally drop the unresponding participants and finally continue our storyline.
Also, some interesting thoughts. It's a good thought to keep in mind. Hehe sparks an idea for me x3 .
If I can ever get Internet access again I'll work on the plot some more.
Here's a rough thought-draft:
When the crew of the future end up traveling through time once more, back to what they believe to be their normal home, they realize they are in a rundown, boarded up shed, alongside Raven and some of the past ponies they had encountered. As they come to figure out, the revelation of time travel and the instability of relations caused by the potential, paved the way for further tensions, that never got resolved.
The land of Equestria never unified, instead different parts were made, borders put up and heavily enforced, with only one neutral area of territory, where debates and meetings are held every full moon, and a relative peace for as long as the gathering as held, and not a second longer. The combined crew happened to come during the full moon, and the shed being within the neutral territory.
Just a quick little glimpse into my thought process, making the assumption of the fact that the other leaders of the races will catch wind of a great rumored power, and attempt to fight for it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk
Hmm interesting idea. A future where ponies are not unified, yet make meetings. Sounds like if one of those "help, or else" kind of thing. Had a different idea where all ponies are living without borders, yet still prejudice at each other, only working together by force x3 but this idea works, too.
It's your roleplay in the end, I just think that it would be more interesting if all three races had their own separate kingdoms on what should be unified land, and the group has to figure out what went wrong, and how to fix it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk
The main problem caused is that the existence of time travelers ponies has been spread in all around pony land, from Unicornia to the two other tribes.
For all the time travelers that went in the past, one of their main mission is to spread the least possible futuristic information. Example: You can talk to one pony which he/she's alright to keep the secret about the time traveler and never speak about it to any one.
To be less suspect when you go to the past, act like if you are one of those past persons. This is important. (Have you noticed it when Peacemaker said "Yeah"? It's a really nice detail and exemple of it.)
That trial idea seemed interesting, maybe that can be something adopted in that sequel, should it occur(it'd be neat). Just thinking.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk
Hehe yea. Gonna be a good brainstorm to make a connection to the impact of the future.
Wait, was it on my post that you two were interested? I'm happy to be useful in someway. ^-^
Oh well, I didn't detailed everything yet but it's sure is a good little change. A earth pony breaking your walls? That never happened in this time around in Canterlot of that time. A pegasus being able to use ice magic? Poor mare, she never seen this coming and Blizzard will be the first using magic pegasus that will probably be achieved in one of those scrolls that you'll find in the future.
At this rate and what we are planning, Equestria will not be called Equestria in that one future. The name Equestria was born when all the 3 tribes became friends or worked together to build peace on the land. But then, this time is different...
After they reached a new land because of the cold that took over their tribes, they fought each other to get it like in the show. And then the windigoes froze them in place inside the cave and instead of being freed, they are remained "disappeared" and the windigoes never been shown again...
This will cause the 3 tribes hating each other more, believing it's that one or the other one who did something bad to their leader with no proof of anything. They all went to the land where they found these 3 flags of the 3 tribes, it was at this time they build there this neutral town which the future ponies know before as ponyville.
Not really much detailed, but you are free to tell me if it's a good idea or not. All those holes in this story, you can cover all of it with your part of your imagination. Not sure if Alicorns exist in that future. I can't tell you if there's one or not.
I think... I wrote a lot this time... Oh well, the end of my crazy idea. I'll post now.
Hmm that is an interesting idea. Perhaps some of this can be used to make a kind of history book for the 'new' future.
I actually had this in mind for a good time already. I just never put it here to keep it from spoiling. If you guys wouldn't mind spoiling, you can tell me, but I will need majority vote before I can bleep it out. It is the outcome of the centuries ahead of their current time that lead up to the modern Equestria.
I would assume that Peace would be the summarization of ideas to incorporate, and eventually we vote?

Trying to cut the bar? Ah! The bar was made to be able to hold a Earth Pony (But cyborg earth pony are much more stronger, so...)! Is it really possible to cut this down with a paper as strong as a steel? If she does, she will be in a big problem!

Okie dokie lokie then. So here is what Peacekeeper is aiming to do.
Since he felt that from the spell, it may have had words that sent them back to that specific time. He believes that if they can get very specific to the exact amount of years, months, and days beyond their current time, he hopes that the spell with the time coordinates will help him take the group back to the exact time when they teleported.
Now, for sure time travel has not been discovered yet, so in what Keeper hopes is that if the scholars can successfully discover the key to time travel and also decode the spell's time coordinates, they can use that to bring them to their exact time.
Also for Peacemaker, he had the idea to input the date written so when they successfully discover the magic, they can use the date written to compensate and change the amount of years, days, or months to move them to the future near the time they teleported to the past. Example is if they take 1 year to discover the spell, they can use the date and reduce the amount of days, months, or year it needs to pass by so that they don't overshoot their return by an entire year they are gone.
If something still confuses you, let me know. I will do my best to clarify all I can.
Let me say what I got from that:
They want to know how long ago the trial was, as to try to find some sort of correlation between the spell coordinates, the time of the trial, and the present/future time, so that the scholars, if they can make a method of traveling through time, can bring the crew back to their time. The date they're talking about it would serve as a reference point for if the scholars take a while.
Am I right or wrong here?

Yes. Seems you gotten the idea now. It is a bit difficult to make it into RP writing without confusing, and that was the best I can write in the RP, so apologize to you and anyone trying to understand my approach.
It's perfectly alright. We're on the same page now, that's what matters.

Alright everyone. I will be gone for a week starting tomorrow. So I will let all of you do some interactions within each other. Also, I know some will need to take control of the guards, or if needed, Princess Platinum and the scholars. I entrust you all to be able to work this RP out while I am away.
So hope all of you have fun, take care all, and see you all again soon!

*Not sure what we want to do about controlling the characters in Peace's absence, because I don't want to risk doing something he wouldn't want. That, and we never really got on the completely same page on roleplay direction.
I'm tempted to say we should probably hold off on continuing, until Peace is back. That's what I think, anyway.

I planned in my head something :
In the future (alternate present), the group walks inside a saloon in this neutral town trying to know what's happened and what is changed in the past and then, they'll see a familiar white mare entering the saloon with a
top hat (may hide horn), a cape (may hide wings) and a mask hiding a bit her eyes but do not hide her mouth (It's Unknown Mare, but she was already there, like 1 or 2 weeks before the group arrive in this alternate present. She had her own way to time travel, but it's unfortunately not a group time travel).
She walks toward the bar and speak to the pony standing there. She will asks for something to drink like the apple cider. Blackberry Card (my lil sis' OC - alter present pony set - pegasus) gives to her for free and she said it aloud so in result, everypony heard it and looked at the white mare. Even though it's within 2 weeks, she was know as '
The Mystrerious Mare Do Well' in that neutral town. She said that she did nothing too special to earn that name, but only did what is right..
Eventually, the saloon has known many fights inside and we can only just way until they calm down. 'Look, this mysterious mare got that apple cider for free!' Of course this will ends up in a fight.
The real question I am asking myself is : What have you planned to do if the group ends up in the alter(nate) present?
Hi everyone. I has returned. I noticed we made some progress. I understand not taking the roles for the guards and princess.
Alright. Now that I came back, we can again continue our story.

So far from hearing about ideas for the sequel, you all give interesting ideas. Now I like to share some ideas I have come up with for the new future that will unfold.
Spoiler: Sequel setting spoilers • show
So the idea is that the future, the 3 races continue to stay isolated and apart from each other, still having bitterness to one another. However, something in the time had to force them to join together. It is pretty hard to intertwine windegos to forcing them cause even with bitter union they will still succumb to being frozen. Unless I do this scenario it may work out. If the windegos never appeared, they would have started a war to the point of completely separating themselves from the other races. However, knowing they are low on recources and can't make the resources on their own, they need the skills of the other races to produce the food and resources to keep them going. However with the war still in mind, the 3 races continue to stay bitter for the rest of the 1300 years. To prevent any further escalations in battles, they have representatives of each of the race; representatives that are neutral, unbiased, and trustful. Representatives that willing to work with each of the races to plan trades to keep themselves thriving. They regulate the trades and farming, being sure each have their fair shares. Of course it is all without their incidents, still fighting for every bit of resources they can get.
They have a central plaza, a neutral zone in Equestria where they discuss trade and diplomacy. It is one of the only places in Equestria where each of the 3 races actually meet together. Only the trusted of their races are allowed to go there such as the representatives. They have neutral lands where the resources are made, but are on watchful eye of the guards of each of the races in case any problems arise. The guards are trusted to prevent crime and are unbiased (hopefully). These guards also patrol the central plaza.
Now... the part of unity. Some of you got ideas of the new present ponies working to unite the ponies together. So there will be just a rare couple considering unity so that nopony will live with constant alert and bitterness, a future where all ponies lived together in harmony. Also the hopes that all of equestria will not have to worry on hanging balance on a thin string like the disastrous war of the past.
Now, I have a scenario that would be interesting. Since there may be a chance the spell they used to go to the future may not work to return back to the past, they will have to find another way to try to return back to the future. However, at a point they may meet some ponies who ask for help to try to reunite the present, including their own group's families. The group are doing their best and little by little they are growing in numbers, and hope to gain the respects of the leaders to try to drop the hate and spread the love. As the group actually show hopes of unity, seeing they are already grouped as a mixed race, they have a likely chance to convincing Equestria to unite. I like to utilize this decision of whether to abandon the peace group to search for a way to return back in time and restore it back to its original state, or to continue at their alternate current time and fulfill the quest of uniting the races. Should help give tension on group decision.
So this is my idea I have for the sequel of this RP. I will like to hear from all of you about this. Can express your opinions, suggest a change, add or remove something to it. I am open to anything ^-^ .
Looks good to me, I may look over it again and provide actual input later.

I'll say it's gold.
But I need to remind you this land in this alternate present is not called Equestria.
Trying to reunite those 3 races and make them friends each others? If it's successful, there will be a high chance to be able to return to the Equestria that the group has known. (Don't you get it? The Tree of Harmony! Isn't it connected to the friendship of this land?)
Well, you can also put here the quote of my idea that I sent you in PM, Peace.

Here is some thoughts Julien has shared with me. It is fitting enough to share with all of you.
Quote from: Julien999 on 2016 Jun 15, 16:09:21
There's a lot of stuffs going through my mind. Here is one of them: The Liberty Crusaders, the alternate Cutie Mark Crusaders. I have no idea if they should looks just like them nor bearing the same name, but they do not have a cutie mark.
They thought that maybe by reuniting all the 3 races and being friends each others they would get their cutie mark. Maybe it's not a easy task, but it's also one of those though things they haven't tried and they are friends together for sharing the same problem. They don't understand why ponies of their race said to not hang out with a different races if they do. Beside everything, they seem to not have a sister or somepony considered as one, I mean, the thing is that there's no mane 6 or Alicorns in this alternative world.
Good news, the tree of harmony still exist in that one time, but it will not be a easy access.
About Unknown Mare: In the present, Mare time traveled 9 days ago and came back to the same day as she used the time travel spell but have 1 hour of difference. It mean Mare already accomplished her things without changing anything too special in the past. Until then... 9 days later, the group accidentally time traveled back in the old time. They landed a month or so after Mare. With the change they have done like breaking 3 walls and other things that could make a lot of trouble for the future, Mare experienced a different event. Result, the day she gets back to the present will be really different for her. The group will still come back after the following 9 days from her though... Final result: the group made a new parallele world. Also the world of which another Mare of another dimension failed (Same result as the group have did but it's her who made it so, but less worse).
What I mean, it's like a tree: You begin with something (seed) then there is many paths and many situation to get at the top.
Example: You have the world #1. You go into the past, change something, then go back to your present. You are now in the world #2 due to the change you made in the past. It feels much more different.
If you didn't changed anything too special into the past, the time will bring you back to the world #1 which is also where everyone who know you are there.
You can also take the example on Twilight and Spike's time travel experience in S5 finale. It's pretty much explained.
I personally like Peace's idea, mostly because I understand it better, and it's intriguing. It reminds me some of Warriors.
About Julien's idea, I'm wondering if he means new characters or not(if so, then I think I understand it). If that could be answered, it'd help.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk
Well, I think Peace will say it more better than me...
About new characters... I guess you are talking about the Liberty Crusaders? Well, I had in mind that they are the alternate version of the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

I got that part, but what I got from it is that the roleplay would be us as new characters, or a fresh version of ourselves, in the alternative future, joining together after a meeting in the neutral territory, and then we would create the Liberty Crusaders through shared ideals. Is that the case? If so, that would be interesting as well. A fresh story would be amazing.
I'm kind of liking that idea now, so either would be fine with me.
Hmm... now that is something interesting. An alternate version of the future group ponies. Well I perhaps I can find a way that can happen.
If there were to be alternates, the way it can happen is that ONE of the characters can time travel into the future, not too far from when the group traveled themselves. So here is a scenario. One of the characters will try to go to the future to retrieve the spell book the Peace brothers used to accidentally travel back. To do, they will have to adjust the spell to jump to the future at any point before they future group made their jump. Example they go back about a month. During, if the time has been altered, every pony in that time has also been altered, giving the scenario of alternate future pony groups. Now... to prevent a paradox, none of the future ponies should travel to the future (That includes Unknown Mare). Has to be one of the past ponies. So Raven was a time traveler. So for Raven to prevent a paradox, he must have to go back to a point where he must not intercept with himself but be close enough to that point in time to ensure that the book can be found where the brothers has found it. The rest of the past ponies wouldn't have to deal with a paradox.
My initial idea is to have the entire future group, and possibly some of our past ponies if they wish, to jump to the future timeline to return home, or for the past ponies to find a new home or curiously see what the future looks like. Kinda got part of the story set out on possible major scenarios and locations.
If ya guys want the idea of an alternate future pony characters, I could try this. I wouldn't want to have just one pony set out to the future. I would hate to alienate the rest of the people. So I propose that every past character who is likely rejoining the sequel to volunteer to time travel to the future to retrieve the book. That way we still have the original cast, with now alternate future pony groups.
But I let ya think about it if ya guys want to go for whichever plan to look forward to.
I don't feel the like of the alternate version of the future group ponies... :x
I mean, none of it happened in the 1 episode in S2 and 2 episodes in S5. Twilight always comes back to the time she made the jump. Can be a 1 minute after she traveled.
In S5, Twilight Starlight and Spike didn't meet themselves even though they goes back to the same time as last time they were in the past. So it mean that, if you go back into the past, the action they made in the past as been refreshed. If they went into the past at the same time, it's all of them that get refreshed.
Or if it's only Twilight and Spike, they can stop Starlight's previous action. That's the reason why Starlight created a spell into the scroll which is, whenever you use to go back in time, she'll goes back with you.
Another thing, in S5, Twilight and Spike didn't meet themselves in their alternate present.
So what you are saying is, they go to the past, they try going back to the future, seeing an alternate version. Then they try to undo the change by going back to the same time period, basically hitting the reset button, or an undo button.
Well for this to work, the spell the group used to be sent back has to be a similar spell of what Starlight used on Twilight. I believe they also had the spell sheet with them when they went back in time. Alright... so... kinda getting you there. If they were to go to the future, see the alternate future, find a way to return to the past, and, like in the season finale, things would reset back to how it was, just only they go back to that same time period, or somewhere near.
Alright. Well I kinda got a concept of this happening, and how the time spell will work out again.
There is something on my mind thinking of this. Well we know a sequel may be already planned to go, which pretty much kills the surprise. I do like the intentions of having all the future ponies to go to the future. Leaving a cliffhanger seeing their future has been altered. I can't find a way to make it a cliffhanger for the second scenario or ending.
Now, spoiler:
What I got in mind, they altered their future. When they decide to bring all the groups from the current altered time to the past, the spell does not follow along with them. The spell sheet disappears when it is used. Now, that certain spell can only work going to the past, and cannot be used to return to the present. The alternate future does not have any spell that sends ponies to the future because the original spell that was used 1300 years ago was lost along the timeline forever. So they will have to convince the princess again to get the spell, and once again, since it has refreshed, the princess is as clueless as the first time the group met her. This means they will have to rework their way to find a way to return to the future again, possibly using the same methods, or a use of another method. It is very unknown which of their actions has actually altered their timeline the most, so they will all do what they can to minimalise the impact of their future.
Well that is what I have in mind. More and more some of my story is being revealed if you are interested in the next story.

My idea was that our story would be with an alternate version of ourselves, in the time that our current crew created. Whether it be that the original group disappeared, due to the fact that the alternative future led to them being born under different circumstances, or an unexplained plothole, I think it'd work.
Either idea would work though, in my mind.

*Not sure if I've said this, but it would be humorous if the group was sentenced to the dungeon, right when the scholars find out how to activate Time Travel, and the group has to escape into protective custody with the scholars, who then activate it. Sort of like how it was last time we did this roleplay. That's all up to you though, of course.
Ah I see what you mean. Kinda a repeat when the two earth forces helped out the group to go to the library to learn the spell to the future.
lol so much for not interfere as much as possible, but for sure it will take a drastic effect on the future.
Hmm... well if we were to do that, we may end up jumping the RP to the end quickly. I think Lunar had an idea with the medallion he took from Glamour Glass that suppose has some significance to time travel. Which that reminds me... uh oh... this isn't good.
--------------------------------------------
@LunarDusk @Nameless Whirlwind Since you two failed to respond to the deadline, unfortunately I have to drop both of you out of the RP. If any reason you didn't respond soon enough and wish to continue to RP, let me know so I can try to readmit you the best I can.
--------------------------------------------
Well unless Lunar doesn't wish to continue on this RP, we can omit the medallion idea and go for the spell idea. Well I could come up with an idea that doesn't make a complete repeat of the last RP, but at least something that would make better sense.
However, we still got the sentencing. I think I got the sentencing figured out, so I can complete a historical record outcome for the sequel RP.
I'm not sure you remember me saying in the chats a few weeks ago but I chose to drop out.
Sooooo, you'll have to go with the spell idea with the medallion only being a failed experiment :]

Yeah..kind of once more tried to do the whole "Let's take control of this" thing, sorry about that. It's in my nature to try to lead, instead of follow xD.
I never read about the medallion thing, I probably would've said that instead of creating the lore that I did, had I known. I suppose since Lunar is gone though, it makes not much of a difference.
Regarding the repeat thing, it wouldn't completely be a repeat, but I do agree that we may want to try to end it in a different way. I just wanted to offer that idea up.

Ah I see. I guess I may have forgotten. Alright, Thanks for letting me know. Thanks for participating in the RP.
So it is confirmed he is dropping out, so no need for the medallion. He had an idea since he stole the medallion from Glamour Glass and have a purpose of using it to construct some magic spell with it. So, I guess we can skip the idea and go for the scholar's technique.
I will begin the process shortly.

@Julien999 Okee. So to gain entrance, you just ask the guard a letter must be delivered. There is a seal on the scroll to verify it is from the princess. The guards will accept the seal and one will chaperone you through the halls. The guard will stand outside the dungeon room door, and since you are a guard, you will be able to enter privately.

Alrighties. Nearly done completing the role call list, and I got an announcement.
I finalized my ideas and since we may be leading to a solid ending, I may begin writing down my new RP's storyline and prologue.
Also, was hoping we could reach 100 pages before the next RP, but I don't want to stuff it to reach that far. Wouldn't be fun x3 . Oh well, good enough. Let's keep this up. We are getting close.
i think im here
We have an all-clear roster. Glad everyone is still here.
The only problem we all have now is that we are all so busy now.

Just want to know how you guys want to skip the time frame. Here is 3 things I am thinking on how to skip time and how we will interact.
1) Each pony will be released 1 by 1 and a short interaction will be made with each character until the last one. Then from there the RP recontinues.
2) Skip entirely and jump to the 50 days, the final sentenced pony to be released and given the princess' blessing to be part of Canterlot. Skips details of every pony that is in the dungeon.
3) Skip entirely and jump 50 days ahead where every pony is released. I write in the details of each pony's actions and past times in the dungeon, provided the owners give me the desired story to add to the narration. Not everyone has to be a part of this, just the ones who feel like wanting to take part of this.
An extra note for choice 3 is that if there will be brief interactions and other communications among the dungeon groups must be discussed here in the OOC and agree on a short story to add to the final narration.
I'll leave up to ya. If there are any questions or concerns, I am open to them. Let your voices be heard. We are coming soon to where I will be doing the skip, gotta let me know soon.
Personally, I do not really care much, but I would prefer 2 or 3.
I have no idea what to choose. Again, I am not good at making choices...
I understand Julien. I, too, am also a bad decider x3 .
Alright, the poll is now closed, and we have 2 votes for choice 3, and a 1-1 vote on choices 2 and 3. Which means choice 3 wins. I will let everyone know when the time skip will be made ahead so everyone can prepare. I will try to put together the activities ponies will be doing during their time. You can message me on ideas on what you want their ponies to be doing in that time period. Escape should not be one of them. We won't be doing a forced escape since I have a finalized ending done for the RP, and hope we all stick to it.
So, let's get it on!
。。。Um...
@Kat the skeleton ? Candy do not exist in the past.
Was thinking the same. Couldn't existed in that time. Not sure what kind of treat would be available 300 years before Hearts Warming Eve. I would think a cherry would come close x3 not sure. Caramel could be one close. Like a hard caramel piece or bar. Close to candy.
okay so here is the thing whoever gave us that chocolate also hid a key and a letter inside of it
A: Why would that be?
B: Was that ever the intention by the creator of the roleplay(Peace Keeper)?
If both do not have satisfactory answers, it should not be the case. Just telling you that for future reference.

x3 ehh... that "whoever" is Unknown Mare, Julien's OC. Not sure if you were paying attention to the RP when Julien passed the candy to us.
I don't believe Julien had something to do with the key and message. Unless it is implying an escape, I intend for the ending to be a bit more peaceful than the last Escape RP ^-^ . But nonetheless, it would be best if you wanted to add this little detail, you could ask Julien on this idea before adding it to the RP.
Hey, Mare can go take Marble when she will be free. Is it okay if I bring her to that one area (or not far) where the scholars are? Mare will keep an eye on her since of the mention of the demon.
Plus when she come back for Marble to the cell and Peacemaker still have his sharingan on and involontary look into her eye, at this moment something strange happen, Mare's eyes become a sharingan too for a short moment, can give Maker for thought about who is this mare. (Lil' secret, every characters I used in most RPs are the same)
ALRIGHTIES GUYS! It is the first day of October... or 2nd thanks to midnight... and it is time again for the role call! Again same ol same ol, I make mentions of every RPer here in a list and your job is to reply in this thread or in the RP to show you are here. I give a deadline to the time you have to reply to the call, and if you fail to reply to the call I will have to automatically drop you. However, if there is any reason that you couldn't answer the call, just let me know, and we could find a way to bring you back into the RP, if possible. Alright so, hopefully we got that sorted out, let us begin the role call!

Also, one thing to note, as you answer your role call, let me know if you are clear to do the time skip. You can also answer YES for the go-ahead skip, or NO if you still need time to finish. Will be doing the skip very soon once everything is ready. The vote is to skip entirely to the end with details in between.

Hey, Mare can go take Marble when she will be free. Is it okay if I bring her to that one area (or not far) where the scholars are? Mare will keep an eye on her since of the mention of the demon.
Plus when she come back for Marble to the cell and Peacemaker still have his sharingan on and involontary look into her eye, at this moment something strange happen, Mare's eyes become a sharingan too for a short moment, can give Maker for thought about who is this mare. (Lil' secret, every characters I used in most RPs are the same)
Sounds okay, though I will add this in the details in the time skip. If we can, we can talk about it here in the OOC how we will do the story. We can do an RP here together as well, and once we get a good finalized short story, I can summarize and implement it into the time skip. Sound alright?
hmm i could work with that
I am here still, just no reason to say anything in the roleplay at this present time.
Alrighties Julien, I assume the sharingan thing may not work between Maker and Maple. I probably could do it with my character, unless others would like to volunteer their character to take part in Peacemaker's sharingan magic during that point in time.
If any of you wish to also take part in looking at Peacemaker's sharingan during the first release, let me know very soon.
Hmm... Seems like everyone are busy.
Probably, or just waiting for me to do the time skip. I know you have the plan with Unknown and PEacemaker's sharingan. Not sure if anyone else is willing to do the sharingan to sleep thing, but if nobody seems to want to volunteer for this short story in the time skip, we can get it going together here in the OOC and then make it brief in the RP.
Well, we can just cancel that sharingan part if no one volunter.
I can do the volunteer with one of my characters. Or we could do a surprise entrance. WHen Peacemaker showcases his sharingan to everyone in the cell, at the same time Unknown enters and accidentally sees Peacemaker's eyes.

Update: So seems we may just use my other character to volunteer for the sharingan.
Now just awaiting to see in 48 hours if anything more is asked or implimented in the RP before I continue with the time skip.
I'm with peace. And have a great day!
I apologize for not doing anything in the roleplay, not really sure what to do right at this time. I am prepared for the timeskip though, since that will rejuvenate the roleplay.
I understand. I mean you don't need anything more if you don't feel like it before the skip.
Now, looks like we are all okay for the time skip, I can go ahead and put together the laces of time, and the choice was #3, skip to end with details in between. Now, I may add stuff that may or may not conflict with our characters, nor reflect the accuracy of how I portray your characters, but I do want to do my best to put together a tiny story that can at least show some activity instead of just being bland with hardly anything to show what they did during that time. Well... as of this time (1 AM) I must do it tomorrow. Hopefully after that we can all finally conclude the RP. Wonder if we can reach the 100 pages x3
I wonder too, you know?
Sorry for the terribly long delay. Had been the busiest this weekend plus Monday's Knott's trip. So finally that I got time, we can finally continue with the time skip.
Where is Misty Fly? I was kinda waiting for him. Plus he is less active...
Is it because of boredom? Or something else? I checked on his last replies in most RPs he replied and I noticed most of them are kinda ignored from the others.
That I do notice he has gotten very little activities in the forums. Could probably be real-life situations he has that gives him little time.
So... what you mean by last replies he made in other RPs and are ignored by others?
I think he may be referring to people not wanting to include him, for the varying reasons spoken of before in this roleplay alone.
*-Hmm... if that is the case, I could probably see why he isn't as active as usual. I know sometimes it isn't the perfect of post, he does what he can to want to RP.
We are only awaiting on you

Eh... not Kat. I don't think his/her character is from the future. And yes, we are mostly waiting on Misty Fly.
Too bad that Blizzard is no longer actif, so resulted as been kicked out of this RP. . .
Some of you know I do make this on a monthly occasion, but since we are now at the end of the RP, I will like to really thank all of you for participating. You all made this possible, and came up with something interesting in this story, including the very unusual ones. Now seems this is popular among some of you, and I decided to create another title of the Escape RP. So this time, no need for a role call. However, soon, I will be reopening the Sign-Ups for the next adventure of the Escape RP. Hope to see you on the next one.
hhhhhh...
Waiting for someone to post because the last post was mine. Especially waiting on Maple and Marble.
I believe Maple already did his. His character is already in a rush to return back, so in a way, the "hurry up" post is pretty much his farewell message x3
Just the last is Marble, but recently talked with Misty Fly, and I think we are all good to finally continue.
Walls in a town separating the 3 races? I may have misread that.
Yea. Exactly what it implies.
Then... I do not see it as a neutral town. At least for me...
Yea. May seem at first non-neutral, but it is in a way neurtal.
What happens in the town is mostly diplomacy. The inner center is usually housed for leaders and representatives of the city and race of ponies. The outer slices are extra housing for the other 3 races, separated from each other. They do this to prevent crossover turmoil among each of the races. We are now in the alternate world where we are separated, but forced to work together or perish. Basically frienemies. No true friendship in this new era.

Alrighties. I am ready to finally close the RP. Just let me know soon in the next 24 hours if there is any last posts you wish to add to the RP before I finally conclude the RP.
Post Merge
Alrighties. I can finally wrap up this RP with a final conclusion. Hehe we are that super close for the 100 pages milestone. I am really happy that this RP went pretty well, and happy to RP with all of you to the end. You all have provided interesting content for this RP and have helped shape the RP dynamically for some for the best. This RP wouldn't have been possiblle without you all. I really thank you all.
Now, that our RP finally has beem completed, I will like to announce that I have re-opened the Sign-ups. For those who wished to return, you are automatically entered in the sign-ups. You are still welcomed to sign up in the sign-up thread. Still not too late to return as your original character.
Do not worry if we will be missing roles for the time-traveled ponies, I have a theory to help with this situation. Alright, hope you read this, and if you are interested, come on by.
When you check your unread replies and this does not show up but on Tapatalk. . .

??? Princess Cygnus???
Cygnus? Let me guess. Princess Cygnus is considering signing up for this RP? I am curious as to why that name is brought up here x3

Because in "Escape to the Future: The New World" you said "with the help of Princess Cygnus". I guess you mean "Platinum" instead?
lol OH SHOOOOOT!!!
My mistake. Darn that is what happens when I get mixed up with canon princesses and people I know here with user names as princesses. Alright Ima change that. Thanks for letting me know.
@Jcfraven @Maplewood @Julien999 @Kat the skeleton @LunarDusk Alrighties, seems we should be ready to start on the next RP. We will begin our adventure starting the next week on Tuesday. Hope to see you all there. Remember to keep an eye on this RP and be ready. Would love to have your cooperation to have a smooth flowing RP even if it is a slow pace. And remember, have fun ^-^
'kay at least I helped with that little mistake you made.

I will indeed be there, glad to be on board with Act 2/3.
@Jcfraven @Maplewood @Julien999 @Kat the skeleton @LunarDusk @Gamepaw I will open the RP on the 22nd tomorrow, or today depending on your time zone at the time of posting this in my area. I will open this up perhaps soon at least 12 hours from now. Hope all of you are prepared. We are ready to begin our next series of adventures.

'kay. . . It seems like you liked the "before they come, something happen in the meantime" thing.
(The thing above is my previous reply in this OOC.)
@Jcfraven My character, Game, and SSJ's are outside, somewhere near the walls in Ponyville that is separarting the races.
The rest of you, time travelers, are together in Canterlot.
But a noticeable problem is Lunar's character. I don't know if he was in the Library in that new world, or he sneaked in the past and time traveled with them.
I thought that he was probably already there in that library in the new world, but I have some doubt.
I assumed something to that effect, but Peace is confusing me a bit with regards to my character. I guess I will eventually figure it out.
We all start off in the Scholar's library in the Hall of Wisdom, but this time in the present. The library is no longer private to scholars, but is now a public study place in the castle.
Sorry if I got you confused on our starting location.
Kinda waiting for ya

Well, I actually never planned to write this but since there is a wolf, and my character wearing a red hood with white socks... It's kinda weird and I ended up like this.
i,m here no worries

AH, and to answer the question about the wall. the walls are very thick, about maybe 10 meters thick. The wall can crack, but cannot be easily penetrated. Would need like 500 kg of TNT to blast it all the way through x3

... So, a dragon crashing into it could destroys?
For his size, no. Unless he went about 10000 km/H probably lol
but yeat, in short the walls are extremely strong to withstand anything x3

Ow...
*He stood up dazed then looked up at the wall*
I don't remember this being here
//Extra info: Red doesn't go near the towns often :p
Ah. That shouldn't be a problem x3 as long as he didn't broke through deep, it is fine.
So. It's the day of the month, huh?
Well... Present.

No. Well from what I believe.
haven't gotten responses from Lunar, Misty, and Aqua on my side. I still yet to hear one word from SSP and Kat the Skeleton. i added them a grace period because of winter break exams and finals. so i will see if the can return by monday. if not, unfortunately i will have to drop them.

Just as a note: for some people, they have exams during the coming week, so making the deadline Monday may be a bit unfair in that regard, to some people, even though personally, the weekend should provide ample time to at least say "Sorry, I will be gone until_____." Just wanted to mention it.
*-Hmm.... may be right. Could be an extra week more for some in school. Actually... now that I think about it, some could be out of town all this time until past new years or so.
*-Hmm.... you know what? I think ima just skip all the deadlines altogether for this month. There could be too many things that can happen between now and new years, so I just cancel the role call of December. Give everyone a chance and then do the role call on January.
Am her naow :P I didn't know I had things planned dis week :(
its alrght. I decided to cancel the role call. Welcome back SSP.
Hope all of you had a great holiday. Now that we are in a new year and things are getting back to normal, it is time for the role call again. You all know the drill, so let's get started.
One thing I need to say first. Jcfraven has dropped out of the RP, but has granted me full permission to use his character, so I will plan to use Raven throughout the RP whenever necessary.
Alright let's start the role call.

I plan to one day get to your cabin.
Is that all you have in mind for now? lol
Yeah. :3
Then the rest will get out of Canterlot and find there way through the woods, finding us and then getting towards Ponyville.
What we plan to do is learn a bit on some history, then a choice whether to stay in the present and try to unite the three races, or to try to go back in time and undo the damage they caused. That choice among you all will determine the outcome of the RP.
Unfortunatle since the deadline has passed and
@Kat the skeleton @Kat the skeleton 2.0 @Kat the skeleton 3.0 and
@Super sayian pony did not respond, I will have to drop you, two. If some reason you couldn't respond in the time, let me knlw and we can arrange a return for you. In the meantime your characters will not be mentioned in the RP for the sake of integrity and possible return so you can take your place again. No pony left behind ^-^
By the way, sorry for not replying to anything.
Alright, it is a new month, which means it is time to do the role calls again. Same apply. Just say hi or post somewhere or message me if you are still here. Fail to reply you will be dropped. Alrighties, so let's get started

For now you can lay back until we get to the Neutral City, or if ya like help out with Maple. Perhaps also tell us more of what Push Broom said to you in the library, if you like.
@Maplewood Seems you failed to answer the role call :o which means you will be dropped. If you are still willing to RP, I can readmit you back immediately and keep you in. I don't permanently drop RPers, I keep them as support or background crew in case of a return. Just let me know if you are still in it so I can keep you in.
Role Call! Time again to call names to see who are still here. This RP became more bare than before x3 Alright youknow the drill, lets call

library eh? that gives me an idea
Gosh I forgot to update the role call, and seems I may have one more drop-out for failing to respond.
So... guys. I like to know where ya guys will be doing or going in the Neutral City. Any teaming up? Any place you want to be exploring? This one will be exploration of the different places, but will be a sort of mystery investigation that we all will be putting together when we all meet again. I will provide the necessary side characters to role play as to give the historical information, as well as items and such to link to what has happened. If you want to do your own exploration or discoveries, you can mention me and we can discuss. If you have your own history that you like to discover or investigate, I like to take a look first to make sure it doesn't conflict with the history that I have put together for the RP.
For Peacekeeper and Peacemaker, they will be exploring together in the Neutral Zone, the centermost area of the city to be able to talk to ponies that are neutral.
Fpr my character, she will most likely be in Unicorns area. But then, she can possibly be at the Neutral Zone aswell.
((Not forgetting the current condition of my character + heavy woof))
Boom. (Just a bump)
Wanting to know what everyone are thinking/have a idea for this RP.
Envoyé depuis mon GT-S7500 avec Tapatalk
I had a grand idea on the part we are about to take. I have the idea of making like several support generic characters telling bits of stories of the past when you come across them. for both Peaces they are gonna learn from the unicorns and pegasi side of the stories once they exit the neutral zone and into their respective race looking for their alternate future families. The rest on what you all do in the divided cities you all can do what you wish, but make sure it doesn`t become extreme beyond proportion or something without my concent. If you have a wild idea, just spread the butter here and I'll take a look at it. ^-^
Just a heads up, it is possible to start a war among the races all over again x3 and its up to you if you are dastardly enough to even start one.
Alright, so Ima start heading over to the neutral zone with both brothers. It is up to all to decide where they wanna go.
Havent done this for a while, so here we go.

But we gonna go inside the Neutral City. You can enter in any region. What I do plan is talking to ponies or researching books or something. This you are a bit more free to do than the last RP cause since the damage is done and it is the current present so no fear of changing the future future x3
