Canterlot Archives / Re: Pokémon RP (sign up here!)
2014 Feb 10, 19:33:25
This looks like a blast!
Sign up form(trainer):
Name: Balmy Spume
Age: 28 (so a bit older than some here)
Species: Earth
Appearance: A smooth coat like that of warm milk cream, and of similar hue. Her mane is almost always held back in a ponytail falling lightly on her shoulder and above her brow, colored that of sea foam lit by the morning rays of sun. Whenever it was unbound though, it still lightly graced her shoulder, but reached forward and to her sides in soft waves. Her tail suffered no better in its ripples, but it fared far better, as it fell about her slightly above her pastern. Her eyes seem to be full of waiting potential.
A little about them: Calm, Patient, and generally inquisitive.
Name: Aaron (Yes yes, funny)
Pokémon: Aron
Wild or belonging to a trainer?: Belongs to Balmy
A little about them: Quiet, enjoys others presence
Name: Flume
Pokémon: Torkoal
Wild or belonging to a trainer?: Belongs to Balmy
A little about them: Usually Sleepy, Enjoys helping

Might as well put this here first...
Name: Balmy Spume
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Race: Earth
Appearance:
Does your pony already do their special talent?:
No. Soap carving isn't generally high on a list of testing
Other:
She is an eternal hopeful with enduring promise. She strives to be courteous to all, and only rude when absolutely necessary . She enjoys the simple things in life, and goes about with a lilting grin. In short: a mild and civil mare. She acts with order and function, but loves to try new things.
Example's of Speech:
I wonder if it would be right to ask...
Hello! I would like two and a half pounds of flour please.
Well, I do what I can, but I don't do it for others. I do it because I enjoy it.
I hope you don't mind, but I had to ask. How did you do that?

Original Characters / Re: My OC
2014 Feb 10, 17:20:51
This is Rather well made! Certainly much better than my first 
Now for feedback-
The character as it is now, is a great base. Not particularly big or flashy, a rather uncommon trait. My only problem is the lack of info. However! This isn't necessarily a bad thing. Often these "base characters" as I call them, tend to develop more as you RP. If you can find a nice group to work out what makes her tick, you'll be golden.
The other option is to write more about her in general. While it sounds rather simple, it can be difficult. If you went that route, you would need to answer questions such as: What is her favorite X ? When she gets home, what is the first thing that she does? Is she out going with ponies she hasn't met? Is her personality that giddy bubbly type, or the calm collected one, or something entirely different? What does she enjoy, but might not be so good at? What are her goals, and dreams?
The only info I would recommend putting in soon, is her backstory. NOTE! Backstory and bio are two different things! Bio tends to be along the lines of who she is, where she came from, and where she is. Backstory goes further, telling what made her like X, why she is where she is, how she got her cutie mark, and others. General note to take away from: Bio is what, Backstory is how and why.
Regardless, Nicely done!

Another thing that annoys me is when in school, the teacher asks a question and my hand goes up first, but the teacher doesn't call on me until everyone else has almost figured it out.
Well, the teacher wants to give them time to figure it out. They're not going to learn anything if they're just fed answers without learning how to figure it out for themselves.
But we are bored and wish to go on. Them choosing to let others learn, ironically, prevents me from furthering my learning. However, this isn't a zero sum function, there is the factor of time. Regardless, it is annoying. Preventable? Maybe. Assured to continue in its existence? Definitely.

Canterlot Archives / The Times to Remember
2014 Feb 08, 10:35:29
Idea
This is a simple enough concept, but difficult with its implementation. The idea is to live out some of your life and react to situations that I throw at you. So, you now, a RP. The difference is, the end goal is to have it all be written out in a story!
I have a list of about a dozen or so events that could occur whenever, a couple of time specific ones, and a few I particularly enjoy. Mostly it is normal-ish things, while some is more, ah, drastic.
Stipulations
Note! As it is a story about the OC's, I would have to ask you to post decent amounts to whatever you are doing. A simple, *follows* doesn't create very good story. If nothing else, you can write what they might be thinking about. Also, try keeping conversation with the Mane 6 / Canonical Characters to a short. They are difficult to correctly represent in writing. Remember, to them, you are that one pony (exception being Pinkie, she probably knows you pretty well) This would probably start in and around Ponyville, and go where ever people go. If a small group wants to go to Canterlot Central, but the rest want to stay, No problem. You are not all forced to stay in one area. This will probably start with 4 people.

Well, aside from the cle-she color scheme that has been stated to the umpteenth degree, the back story that says "I've been around forever so HA!" the fact that you took the real characters and decided "I know them, we are cool." and trying to force a relationship with what equates to a god pony, it's great!
Overall, it's... yeah.

I like this guy! A lot! He seems realistic, and well maintained. He isn't overpowered, matter of fact, he almost seems underwhelming, something I enjoy. I do have to wonder what exactly he did to earn his cutiemark. Regardless, you handled the name situation with good grace, explained his natural affinity to avoiding speaking to multitudes, and gave his parents a actual role in developing how he came to be himself.
All in all, a wonderful character.

Wow that's a lot of text! Um, most of your questions would go in the LoE discussion pages, or on the MLP FIM discussion pages.
As for your aparent fear of labeling, don't worry. We are (mostly) normal people here who don't judge people. It is okay.
If you want to do beta testing, just look under general news, and they might have something, or you might have to wait. There are beta test weekends, which was probably filmed and that is what you saw on youtube.
Regardless Welcome!

Point the way so I can flummox them with my logic! So I can apply reason to their madness! So I can unveil their arguments flaws! So I can- actually, I'll just try to reason with them.
Regardless, to the topic-ho!
