This thread is solely for the Herd of the Traveller's blessing to act in. As that is stated, then I'll write the set just below here:


The Blessed Traveller's Inn.
A cosy little place located on the roads between Ponyville and Fillydelphia, it's form is square with a second floor that is slightly overhanging the entrance, a third floor is also present before the slant of the roof marking this place of rather large capacity. It is built in the common style which is used in ponyville with pale yellow walls with wooden bearings and corners, the roof is made of purple tiles and also is curving up as they slant, making the building a total height of 5-floors. Lastly, the large decorated windows at regular intervals makes it a bit standing out against other buildings of the same style, as they only have few windows at all.
On the inside of this building one first arrives in a warm entrance hall, it's fireplace keeping it warm trough even the coldest winter, yet the wooden building provides a certain cold in the hottest of summer, several tables are located with five cushions around each. At the end of the hall, which seem to take up the better part of the building's lower floor, there is a counter where the book-keeper is at, behind that is a thin wall that separates the kitchen from the hall, and lastly on the far left is a stair-case to the next floor.
The upper two floors are similar in construction, the lower only different with having a small hall containing the stairs up and down on the far right and left side connecting to the other floors, while the upper floor only have a staircase down on the far right side, and also a ladder leading up to the storage spaces above. Both of those halls have a small hallway leading to several rooms, almost all of them in the same size and placement, being large enough for two beds, two chests, and two small tables beside the beds while still leaving room enough to not feel cramped. There's fourteen rooms like this on the floors, eight on the lower with four on each side of the hallway wide as three ponies, and six on the upper with three on each side of a similar hallway. On the end of the third floor's hallway is placed the private rooms and storage of the owners of the inn, being almost three and a half larger than the common rooms.
Lastly, there is the loft functions as a storage for all the Inn's supplies, reserve furniture, and many other items that would make a too long list here. It is a dark place, only with two windows and whatever light a pony would bring with them up there.

The staff of this place is composed of few ponies, the number jumping when there is a large influx as they are not shy to hire travellers to do the serving or cooking in exchange for free rooms. But the permanent staff is composed of four, where only three of them are commonly seen while the forth is merely rumoured at as it have only been sighted rarely. But the three most ponies resting there would learn the faces and names of are named: Tavern Hatch, Tinplatter, and Caramel Bun.
Tavern Hatch is the book-keeper and manager of the location even though he is an earth pony, it is not uncommon for the beige stallion to leave the counter to do other accounts in the private quarters, his eyes are green and mane teal and swirling.
Tinplatter is the youngest of the three carrying out the serving of foods and drinks, as well as some lot of the cleaning of the building's interior, her coat a blue,  golden mane and tail in a short and tidy style, and eyes likewise green, but of a brighter hue than Tavern's. To mention that she is a unicorn.
Caramel Bun, a pegasus and the oldest whom seem to be doing the most part of the cooking when there is few guests, she is usually the one to invite ponies to work for a time at the inn, her coat is a light orange, mane is long but bound up to look as if being short and a dark Gray in colour, while her eyes are also of a green, but more teal than Tavern's eyes.
The three is told to have been around for a while, even if they look as if being in their young adulthood.


That is the set, and I would say it's a good idea to read it to know the set well enough to navigate in it.

And, here is the rules:
1. Always follow the forum rules, that means no sensual acting, no gore, nor violence.
2. No godmodding, powerplaying, or other things that restrict another's character without them having agreed to the scene.
3. No post shorter than a two lines, I recommend around five lines.
4. Keep the roleplaying close to the tavern, it's fine to start on the way to the tavern, but when your characters leave the area then do take any acting in private till they return to the tavern.
5. NPCs are presumed to do their functions at appropriate times of day, feel free to state their action as long it is related to their work, like such as to order some food from Tinplatter and then describe her trotting off to get it from the kitchen, or payment of bits to Tavern to stay in a room to describe him putting the bits in a storage, leading to a room and giving a key.
6. I have final say when it comes to anything about the NPCs.


Now that all the fuzzy stuff is done, Members of the Travellers Blessing, feel free to join in here and happy roleplaying!~

This a topic, made for telling the Scandinavians of these forums that there is indeed a brony-con in Sweden that is being planned.

But, it needs ponies to donate money so that they can afford it, thus I place upon this topic the link for the said fundraising, and what info I know of is of it:
http://www.indiegogo.com/crystalcon

There, upon that site can one donate for this cause. ^-^

This page, is mainly just for me to have a location to place my different OCs' info on, starting with Travius Trott.

Name: Travius Trott.
Coat: Mossy Green, actually if he was completely clean he would be a more pale Green.
Mane: Messy but wavy, it tends to curl up by it's tips, it's colour is a Brown.
CM: Three horse-shoes.
Eyes: Coppery in colour.
Race: Unicorn
Gender: Male
Some reference:

The one to the left is from the later part of his living in Manehatten, not finding that fun at all as it can be noted, the latter is of him as he is how. I admit to have over exaggerated his 'foul' expression.

Personality:
Very polite, being brought up in Manehatten's higher middle class does that he speaks with a bit 'fancy' tone, he above all loves travelling, and is generally very helpful.
Bad points is that he is very wanderlusty and thus rarely stays at one location for longer than a week, and that he rarely takes time for a proper bath.

And to sum up his past:
He grew up in Manehatten, being the first son of a branch of one of the larger families there. He spent most of his young adulthood helping in the family business "Hats and cats" which, he did grow quite tired off after the first two years, and started wondering what the world outside really holds.
As his third year in the store was about to pass he ran off with only a saddlebag and enough bits to start being a travelling sales-pony specialising in hats and fabrics.

Trivia: That he is a unicorn in Manehatten is due to his father being a unicorn from Canterlot.


As such I will place the other characters in a different spoiler boxes as not to litter the topic too much.


Spoiler: Viol Lavendre • show

Coat: Lavender.
Mane: Almost always neatly set up, fairly long, and Violet.
Eyes: Violet.
Gender: Male.
Race: Earth.
CM: A roll of red thread.
Reference:

Personality: He is fairly dainty, as such he is always speaking clearly and almost always in a well-composed manner, is almost scared of dust and dirt, but able to handle it as long he knows there is a chance to get clean quickly after.

His past is not yet fully composed, though he is a crossdresser, and thus loves to wear dresses, usually dainty a hat is enough.


Spoiler: Knightmare Boon • show

Coat: Pink.
Mane: Short and shaggy the mane is, but the tail is medium and well kept, coloured like Golden wheat.
Eyes: Blue.
Race: Earth.
Gender Female.
CM: A wooden shield
Reference:


Personality: Rough, tends to put things bluntly but never means evil with it, she is very protective of those she have befriended and of her personal items, also to be noted is that she is often as stubborn as a mule in most cases, and would always try to have as few get hurt as possible should conflict arise.

Quick tale of her past: This mare, one related to many a Knight of Trottingham, grew up there with the many tales of the brave knights doing good for the people. As she grew up she inherited a suit of armour from her Father's Father's Uncle and was delighted beyond description, thus decided that she would become a proper knight in her own right, and set out for the nation of Equestria to do good and be Knighted by the princess herself.

Trivia: This pony I paired up with Viol Lavendre because of that they are almost completely opposite in character, she is never seen without her helmet, she is completely oblivious of Nightmare Moon although her name is a pun of just that, and she speaks with a cockney accent.


Spoiler: Ninny Daft • show

Coat: Teal.
Mane: Shaggy long, coloured orange with a stripe of brown.
Eyes: Green.
Race: Pagasus.
Gender: Female.
CM: A spyglass.
Reference: (I have none properly updated for this description.)

Personality: A hard-working pegasus, she is rather easily distracted and is at times known to crash into objects, especially trees, a bit naive she is usually it is easy to tell her something a like and make her believe it, in contradiction to her name she is rather smart on the academic level as she is well versed in the fields of aerodynamics, knots, and can read a plenty of signal flags, and the rare times she have decided to do something 100% it can be hard to stop her.

Notes on her past: (None yet, as this character is not all complete yet.)

Trivia: This character is based on middies in the Queen's air-service in the Scott Westerfield novel series The Leviathan.

Well, I've noted when I looked trough the art board looking for artists just showing their art, and noted that most such topics have drowned in the topics that are all about requests, which I found to be quite the annoyance. :/

So, I'm just putting this suggestion to make a child board for art requests, so that it is a bit more organised, and that one actually can look at other ponies art without seeing that said pony advertise about making requests for ponies.

Also, I feel like I should also note that I myself I had in the past opened for requests to keep my topic on the first page so that it did not drown. But I also find it a bit annoying that for one to showcase one's arts here, one have to put up with making requests.
While I'm not against requests itself in any way, it is more that those who does not make requests fall very deep below those that do. >Rant over<

Pardon this rant, but I did quite feel that I had to mention this here, at least once.

Well well well, before the bad stuff happened to the forums and all olden topics lost and all that, I held an association of sorts for travelling ponies, and now the time have come to restart it, under another name: The Travellers Blessing.

This herd is a group of travellers willing to help each other out, and fellow travellers. We seek to make the roads a cosy and safe place to traverse.

Spoiler: So, first a wee background for this herd, written by the most brilliant Valentine. • show

[center]Long ago, after the twin sisters banished the evil Discord with the Elements of Harmony, Equestria was finally free to grow
and prosper as its founders had wished.  Unfortunately, the chaos that Discord wrought upon the land was great and
widespread, leaving many ponies, though free, still no better off then they were under his rule.  A group of Unicorns
from the newly founded city of Canterlot could not be at ease knowing that others suffered throughout the land.  This group
banded together to from a Blessing whos sole purpose was to go to every corner of Equestria and help their brethren where
they could.  As word spread of the great deeds of these travelling unicorns, they became known as the Travellers Blessing.

Time passed, and through the years some unicorns settled down in the towns they assisted, started new settlements of their
own, or just became too old to continue travelling.  Slowly, their numbers dwindled, and it became apparent that for the
survival of the Blessing they needed to recruit new members, and began to accept others who shared their goals, even if
they were not unicorns.

Eventually, the Travellers Blessing completed it's goal and Equestria was a land of plenty and happiness for all of it's
citizens.  It's members pleased, but not satisfied, gave themselves a new goal.  Over the ages it has been in existance, the
Travellers Blessing has been to all corners of Equestria and have seen many things.  Their new goal, to help and assist
anypony who wishes to travel the land; giving them help, safety, and comraderie.

This is how the Travellers Blessing of today came to be.

So, if you care to sign up I have a wee form to fill, note that this herd will have no real rank system as  travelling ponies are loosely organised and often far from others.

Spoiler: The form: • show

Spoiler: Lyrics by Magus • show

Far over the Canterlot Mountains tall,
To Luna's keep, Celestia's hall.
Timberwolves howl in the dark;
The dragons come to leave their mark.
The clouds turn pink,
Our spirits sink,
Equestria fell to Discord's might,
But we returned, him for to smite!

But vict'ry was tempered with mourning.
Suffering ponies, our actions scorning
Showed us the pain that Discord had left,
And though we'd won, of joy we were bereft.
For traveller's aid,
A Blessing we made.
From fair Canterlot out to the world
We travelled Equestria with banners unfurled.

And over the years our numbers grew small,
For our group unicorns alone did call.
And so at last we opened up our herd,
And in non-unicorns our group conferred.
And then once more
In days of yore,
We walked the paths Equestrian
To help the lost pedestrian.

Now, long after those dark days,
Our Watchers strong still guard the ways.
And though we finished all our founders willed,
And we the land with peace have filled
We carry on,
With every dawn,
To finish now our herd's new goal:
To help each stallion, mare and foal.

Once again we climb the mountains tall,
In triumph over Discord's fall!
Our friendships held, our honesty stood strong.
Our kindness grew; our laughter in song
A generous gift
Friends to uplift.
The Traveller's Blessing, wanderer's friend,
Equestria's roads we still defend!

Well, as my latest post on this said, I can no longer keep this server up, so from the 1/2 2013 the server will likely be shut down.
Pardon that I had given no earlier information about this, but it only serves to prove how barking useless an admin I've become over the times.

Spoiler: Old texts justin case. • show
so, now the server is up and running again.
Also I managed to scavenge most of the whitelist so at least that can be used for this one. But there are some ponies that were not added proper, pray send me a message if you find that you're not on it.

So, more flavour text here I take note of is needed, so I will give it a try!
This server, a server made for the ponies from this site, for them to play on and have fun! While we wait for this most brilliant pony MMO to be finished.

Please send me a message if you want to be whitelisted and I shall look to it.
The current IP is: 209.236.121.164

Also, here is a useful mod which will turn players into ponies, please read the trough the topic for help to installing it and for making your own skin. The topic on the MC forums.

The rules on the server are few, and most important of them is: Common-sense, which includes the following: No greifing, no touching other ponies stuff without their permission, do not build too close to other ponies without their permission, and please no X-ray texture packs.
I might add more to this topic as needed.



Also, if you have any concerns, complaints, or just want an answer to a question, then feel free to send me a PM.
If you want to report somepony for being very rude, then pray do use /whois >nickname< to find out the MC name of the pony, and, send me a message containing both the actual name, and the nickname, if there are more players of same nick, then send all the real names to me.
