Ok so there's going to be different places to make stuff. I opened up the list at the table in SCC and laughed at the idea of fabricating armor in a bakery. XD

Is there going to be new quests to get the recipes for those of us who have finished all current quests?
22
And here we go:

Spoiler: show



Nightshade made it to level 50, followed shortly by Maverick, but their status will be short lived. :s


Wrong armor Maverick!


That's better.
And why is it always cute when a pony hides like that?


Chrome at the early teleport race. He just barely squeaked out 2nd place:


Raspberry at the early earth triathlon (which she failed miserably at after having good practice runs). And a bit of a clone issue:


Nightshade showed up for the 2nd set of races, and wound up taking part in corralling a royal guard who went berserk and started attacking civilians: 


Raspberry preparing for the earth part of the relay race. After discussion though it was decided instead Chrome would do the teleport part.


The final race. Maverick decided to give it 1 more try. He didn't fare much better, coming in 4th, but he was happy to see his team get a win over their arch rival.


Group photo:


Waiting for the closing ceremonies:



The awards. Followed by the dragon's getting revenge on Equestria.


After everyone recovered, the largest candy cloud ever was formed:


Maverick leaving the Crystal Empire the next day, still with a bit of a heavy heart. Weither or not he takes part in other competitions remains to be seen:



In other events: Nightshade and 3 guards keeping watch over a party in front of SCC:


Not one but 2 lines formed:


Poor Pumpkin just wanted to watch the party from her favorite perch, but soon came under heavy pillow attack:


The new animation for cyclone will definitely have a use in future airshows:


Get together in the Everfree. Poor lens getting danced on after fainting:






Until next time!

Back with more. Most of these are of the Equestria Games:


Spoiler: show


The sun rises over the Cloudsdale flight school as Maverick and another member of Team Cloudsdale
practice for the flight race event:


And practice for the air show:


Showtime. Pegasi lining up for the race:


All of the training paid off as Maverick won the flight race:


His victory was short lived though as the race had to be rerun due to confusion about 3rd place.
Having the win ripped out from under him was on his mind in the 2nd race, and he made some mistakes. He might have got 2nd place, but he landed on the rim of the finish platform, and the momentum forced him off it and by the time he got back up it was too late to even get 3rd.
The airshow went good, though again he made a couple of mistakes. Luckily Cloudsdale still won.

He spent the next few days reflecting at SCC or other places, not feeling like taking part in anything else:


The next day Chrome got 2nd in the CE unicorn obstacle race, and Raspberry 2nd in the earth pony one.



Dahlia showed up to watch the 2nd earth pony race, and like many others was starting to get tired of one arrogant pony:


Pillow tag training:


While there Chrome did an out of body experience to see the distant image of Ponyville visible from SAA:


Getting ready for the event, which didn't go well for his team due to the venue change:






Will have some more after I get off work.

Quote from: CMC Scootaloo on 2018 Jul 28, 21:43:08Maybe it's good you weren't there. Because there was a casualty during the dragon attack, Festive Cheer, Holiday Cheer's daughter, did not survive it.....

Wait seriously?
25
a few but nothing like what happened in the Heartlands.
Speaking of which: Moving the pillow tag tournament to Sweet Apple Acres might be a bad idea. There's not much room or cover to hide behind. And there's the matter of Angel's angry relatives in that one spot. One person standing near the bottom of the hill can see the whole orchard.
26
It's been awhile. So much has happened since the last time.

First off: Through the use of Gimp, I created a group pic' of my characters:



Spoiler: show




Dahlia chilling in Canterlot at a doughnut giveaway.



Into the moon:


Ready for more acting lessons?


At a Youtube filming event, things got a little cloudy upstairs in SCC:




Later during the event: The mane 6 and a wall pony:


Maverick at the welcome back party for Sapphire Moonlight:


Nightshade playing with Flurry Heart:


Chrome took part in some kind of ritual in the Everfree:


"Bushicorn"


Thanks to a tip from another pony, Papa finally broke through the Crystal Empire barrier:



Now this isn't good:


Some nice scenery out there:


Stunning:


Finally the secret cave. Will he make it through the 2nd barrier?


Success!


He then received word of caves under the gem mine in Ponyville. He checked it out and found air gaps (not really caves), but then he had an oops moment and became a mole:


The ability to launch stealth pillow attacks:


"Inside" SCC:


Rose and Papa with guests in their house:


On July 13th, Rose and Papa had a son: Electric Spark:


And now for more recent:
Maverick, Chrome, and Raspberry are taking part in the Equestria Games as part of Team Cloudsdale. Here's Maverick at one of the numerous training events for the air show (go to the Team Cloudsdale thread for group pic's):



Opening ceremonies for the Equestria Games. Team Cloudsdale represent!:



Even Ellowee appeared for it.

Then things got weird with a dragon sacrifice:


The meeting of the teams soon turned into a pillow war:


Behind you Chrome!

He turned and boops were exchanged.

Then there was a dance party after the ceremonies. And the place filled with clouds:


Which was soon interrupted by dragon attacks. A result of the Dragon Kingdom declaring war on Equestria after the sacrifice:



With the threat of attack on the Equestria Games, and because of the enemies hanging out around the paths in the Heartlands, Nightshade and other ponies offered security for the first events. The events had to be called off though after the dragons conspired with the Dryads to disrupt the time space continuum and caused time to slow down.
Here her and 2 others are beating up the relentless diamond dog mobs:





That's it til' next time!
27
I'm willing to bet the Dryads in Everfree and Brambles have the same problem which is why there's lag there too.
28
Even without dragons, there will still be that diamond dog camp and lantern monsters to deal with on the 2nd half of the course.
29
I'll be in the teleport race tomorrow, but can provide some security during the relay with either Chrome or one of my pegasus characters.
30
So what's this about the Dragon Kingdom declaring war on Equestria? And the games being subject to attack?
31
Here's a few things me and members of the team I'm on are wondering:

*As I mentioned before: In the Heartland teleportation race: What are the exact objects we teleport to at the pumpkin patch one?

*On the Cloudsdale flight race: Do you go through or over the ring with the statue (where the race ends) on the 1st lap? And do you pass under or over the cloud bridge on the 2nd and 3rd laps?
32
In that one unicorn race in the Heartlands: Are we teleporting from treetop to treetop?
33
Just tried the flight race (do you go under or over the starting point for lap 2?), and I found a problem where the race finishes. If you land on the platform a certain way it launches you backwards off it. Out of the 4 times I tried it did it to me twice.
34
I might sign up, but I'm not sure if I'd be available for every event. It'd depend on what time they are.

L U R K I N G





A "bushicorn" :P

36
It happens all the time. It's amusing to watch.  :P
37
Here's the photos I took.

Nightshade was one of those that showed up early (ws going to arrive at 1 hr before start but showed up 2 hrs before. Good thing I did). The Shadowbolts team got a few practice runs in before the start of the event.


The crowd grows, and a stairway to Heaven appeared:


Papa also made it out to the event with his Marelyn Manson costume:


The Trickster appears to deliver the evil ultimatum:


Nightshade followed the group, doing her best to scare them with high speed, low level passes (which she does every day  :/ ).

What the party looked like from a distance:




At this point there were 45 ponies in the room:


The group ran back to Midway after word of a pony being foalnapped:


She watched the foal being rescued from the southern roost. At the same time the group came under bat pony attack:


She then went to the waterfall tree, but forgot to take pic's. She did help keep mobs away from the hunters.
Then with the candy hunt winding down, it was time to head back and prepare for the show. Everypony staged at the gazebo behind the graveyard.


The airshow went perfectly. Here the group has a victory dance at the Zombie Zoo before flying out to buzz the crowd some more, then hang out with them:




After event party at SCC:




This was a fun event. Looking forward to doing it again for Nightmare Night.
38
Time for some more pic's. Took a lot of good ones of events, places, etc., but there's too many to post, so I'll try and cover them.


First I had an idea floating around: Since Papa is supposed to be in a band (Ghost), I thought of holding a concert somewhere. What would happen is i'd post a link to the song in chat for people to listen to, then i'd do my best to keep up with the lyrics. Any thoughts?

Spoiler: show


Nightshade dropped in on a get together at the blacksmiths in the Crystal Empire (after buzzing it a few times):


Nightshade spotted a pony at SCC that reminded her of a character from an 80's cartoon.


Here we go again. Clouds are to ponies what flowers are to bees:


Hey what happened to the library interior?  O:


Best (little) princess:


GIANT PINKIE!!  :I


Oh no...


Poor Crystal Moon and Lil' Woona:


Nightmare Moon? It's Shadowbolt time! Watch out Celestia!


The mane main 6 had to spoil NMM's fun though.


On June 2nd, Papa and Rose Dust tied the knot in the Crystal Empire:


The honeymoon was spent battling mobs in the Everfree :P


Also on June 2nd: Chrome took part in a costume contest put on by the NLR at Rarity's place. His Godot (from Ace Attorney) won for most creative:


He also did one where he put on the 5 different kinds of armor (that he happened to have on him at the time):


After contest party at SCC:


Nightshade found yet another gathering to buzz, then hang out at:


Dahlia and Starlight helping a new pony:


In a stunning twist: Maverick discovered a way for more than 1 pony to be visible at the cauldron:


Papa found his new favorite spot:


After failing so many times, Papa finally found his way through the Heartlands barrier (he was running along it and suddenly something launched him in the air and through it). Here he is at the tree of the lone apple:


The outer area is immense:


While exploring he had to keep an eye out for rips in the time space continuum:


In the mountain area, every time he thought he climbed the tallest one, there would be one next to it even taller:


Looking down at the Cemetery area:


A lone tree behind the graveyard:


He found the actual area of the PVP area (behind and to the left of the Cloudsdale gate):


Before returning, he stopped at the apple tree and felt the need to start singing a Black Sabbath song:


If there's a get together at night, expect Nightshade to find it:


 Maverick and a couple others buried under loot chests:


Chrome went looking for the former location of the Ursa Cave, which took him below the Everfree in most cases:


Had no idea the ponies have a doggy paddle animation in the water:


This mask outside Zecora's is always looking at you ovO


He finally found what looks like the location of it:


So it's you... In the flesh...


Nightshade at the first Shadowbolt training session for Summerween:


Chillin' at the PVP area tower:


Nightshade's first trip to the Cloudsdale cave:


She then received word of the barren land below Cloudsdale and decided to check it out:


Flying back up to the city:


Chrome then went on an out of bounds exploring tour with several other unicorns  :/  :










Until next time!

Ooooh Shadowbolts air show?

Looks like Maverick can make up for having to miss out on the Wonderbolts one (or Nightshade might go for it).

That other cauldron is the one place I haven't found yet.
