SilentCarto breaks up with O.Hinds
We start talking about the Goldenblood-Luna-Fluttershy love triangle, dodecahedron, rhombus?

Ironmonger brings the talk to self defense laws and we spend talking about self defense laws here in America and those crazy Brits, not like us sensible Americans who sleep with shotguns loaded with rocksalt by the under the pillow.
The Forum Banner is changed and we all comment!
And we end 10 pages with a talk about Littlepip and Homage and how either Homage deserved better or Littlepip did.. I agree with Iron Homage is a tad underdeveloped, I always expected her and Littlepip to go adventuring together at some point.

That's ten pages and I'm done

Scene opens with three posters and one dog on a leaking boat in the middle of a roiling sea of posts. The sea is filled with opinions and trains that have fallen off of their rails, one of which is flaming and cursing. The posters are reading the posts as fast as they can but the boat is still overflowing and starting to sink. Poster #1 is a young man, Poster #2 is a woman in her thirties, and Poster #3 is a small girl holding tightly to a yapping puppy.

Poster #1
Keep reading! And don’t lose track of the topic!

Poster #2
(Collapses to the floor of the boat in the middle of a post, choking) Spam! How much more of it is there?

Poster #1
Ignore it! We have to keep reading these posts!

Poster #3
(Buffeted by a wall of text, caught by Poster #1) There’s too much of it! Even Lurkey’s losing interest!

Dog:
Bark! Bark!

Poster #2
The dog’s right! It’s hopeless! We’ll never make it to the current post!

Poster #1
We can’t just skip to it! We’ll just drown again!

Poster #3
(Tearfully) Maybe we should just give up. We don’t need to read the comments to enjoy the story. And sometimes Somber shows up in the chat, too.

Poster #1 No! Dammit, we can’t just give up! We need to provide feedback! We need to be part of the community! Come on, read! Read, dammit!

Poster #1
(reads posts desperately as Poster #2 and #3 sit aside hopelessly. Another wall of text buffets the boat, carrying the dog out to sea.)

Poster #3
Lurkey!

Dog:
Bark! Bark!

Captain
(Captain Adder and the SS. Ten Page Summary enter stage left. He dives into the sea, grabbing the dog and swimming to Poster #3) I believe he belongs to you!

Poster #3
Lurkey! You’re okay!

Poster #2
It’s Cpt Adder! We’re saved!

Captain
Quickly, everyone! To the SS. Ten Page Summary!

Cpt Adder calls for life preservers from the SS. Ten Page Summary and hauls the Posters aboard. They are given towels to wrap around themselves as they watch their old boat sink.

Poster #1
Our deeper understandings! Our image dumps! The occasional funny piece of spam!

Captain
It’s not worth it, son. If they’re that important, you can dive for them later... safely.

Poster #2
(Swoons) Thank you, Cpt Adder!

Poster #3
I want to be like you when I grow up!

Dog:
Bark! Bark!

Captain
You can say that again, Lurkey!

All laugh. Scene end.

[Cptadder]

After Meleagridis latest post I think I need to clear something up. I am not a grizzled old sea captain. I am neither old nor a sea captain.
Thank you

Well O. Hinds isn't British or a southern gentleman, but that doesn't change the fact that to us he's a British southern gentleman. I'm sorry cap'n, but the damage has been done. Official forum image of CptAdder: Grizzled old sea captain.

[222222]

I think it has been established that a person's forum accepted image has no association with their avatar.
Examples: Kippershy, O. Hinds, CptAdder(new), Caoimhe
Counter examples: Somber
But Somber is a special case, because Somber is actually a pony. Besides, most peoples avatar either changes frequently, or can't be associated with a person, like Ketchups lightning bolt for however long that was his avatar.

...I'm now imagining an alternate universe where Glory's VC group was sent on a suicide mission near the coast, and she ended up being rescued by Thrush instead of Blackjack. That could be... interesting.

Grizzled old science filly captain.


Though now I admit to a certain curiosity regarding the mental image I conjure...

[222222]

@Sindri: don't tell CptAdder, but it's pretty close to your avatar. Its a black background with you outlined in white, not actually sitting near a computer ever, vaguely looking like an Alien from alien vs. predator, but a sort of humanized version, if you can picture that at all.

Edit: a better explanation would be take your avatar, give it an Aliens head, scaled to size, then keep it Quadrapedal but in a sitting position, with kind of vaguely humanesque body features.

Now you got me wondering what everyone's accepted forum image is on here. Me:Machine Priest mistaken for being insane just because I'm unpredictable...and scream at light fixtures...

EDIT: 41st brohoof...*flips table looking for it* Damn it gotta be around here somewhere!

Actually, I'd like to dispute this claim.
Okay I may not look as handsome as that ol' buck in my picture (or anywhere even close) BUT -- this is the important part -- he is a reflection of myself.
What I wish I could be, what I am, what my morals are and what I stand for, what I would do in his given situation - good and bad.

Of course, he's not an entire self insert - he has things that are completely different about him, but my point stands.
A part of me is Crimson, thus, Crimson is me.

If I had Titan as the avatar then that would definitely be me however.

[222222]

@Ironmonger: actually for you it's Salvadore from Borderlands 2, but without facial hair or muscle tone.

[Kippershy]

@Ironmonger: actually for you it's Salvadore from Borderlands 2, but without facial hair or muscle tone.

I laughed.

Do me... unless you can't because of the video of me already hanging around the forums.

[Ironmonger]

Oi! I aint that ugly. Plus I have a lot of muscle tone....ladies...

[222222]

@Kipper: appearances do not tell what a person is, from your stories and various escapades, you are pictured as a tall, hulking individual with particularly large hands, and long kind of curly hair.

Edit: With a tendency to bend over to see eye to eye when talking to normal sized people, and a long coat kind of like Hagrid's, but the pockets are filled with drugs, mostly mushrooms.

Also, in case you couldn't tell:

Spoiler:

[Ironmonger]

Like a Deathclaw with a wig.

Also, in case you couldn't tell:

Spoiler:

Tall - check
Hulking - depends who you ask, perspectives and all
Particularly large hands - definitely a check, they won me a best ass slapping hand competition once back in college
long king of curly hair - very curly when it gets long enough, very very curly.

Noooooooooooow it's all gone though

/cries/


edit: -bursts into laugher with your edit-
Oh god, it's so true!

[Kippershy]

Like a Deathclaw with a wig.

AHHAHAHAHAHAHA
YES

[222222]

Disregard my last post Kipper, look at Ironmongers.

Edit: I see I was ninjaed due to my shitty connection. Well played internet

[Ironmonger]

YEHEHEHEHEHE *muffles laughter with hand* It was the first thing that came to mind. This stuff is why people love me!

[Cptadder]

Captain Janeway?...

No...
Just...
No...

Not a filly, she's crazy, watch any of SF-Debries reviews to get an idea of how crazy Janeway is. Not because of how the writers intend to write her but how she ends up acting. Latent image is a good example of this

[222222]

Eh love, tolerate, its all the same right?

[Valikdu]

No...

No...

Exactly the reaction I was hoping for :D
But hey, at least she's got the Science and Captain traits that were asked for.

I watched all of them. *squeak_pony_sound.wav*

...You have to agree that hearing the same voice from Flemeth comes very naturally.

[Cptadder]

...You have to agree that hearing the same voice from Flemeth comes very naturally.

Yes when you need a evil old woman voice, you can't go wrong with Janeway.

[Caoimhe]

No, see, that song there is an old, successful person looking back at all they've lost over the years and giving up. Rocky Road to Dublin sounds lighter (Blackjack only sings when she's on the high points) but it's about somebody going through a bundle of setbacks and hardships along their journey, but always pressing forward (with the assistance of alcohol. and occasionally beating people with a stick). The tone of yours fits, but the themes are all backwards.

and also I hate Johnny Cash

I'm late in on this but Trent Reznor originally wrote that song as a coda to an album about depression and suicide. Hurt, being at the end was about the character ultimately giving up and killing himself. I loathe Nine Inch Nails for a number of reasons but I dig Cash's spin on it but I can't unthink the song as being nothing more than a depressing giving up on life suicide note after years of heroin abuse.

Also I dug that other track up until the dubsteppy part. I hate dubstep and feel it needs to stop. DnB is fine but dubstep is just all wrong to me. Everyone wants to make dubstep now which is depressing.

I am actually Scootaloo inside a sandwich irl so I am greatly offended and request you check your privilege.

[222222]

@Caoimhe: you almost had me there, almost. Luckily I remembered that Scootaloo tried journalism, but refused to associate herself with such a dirty profession, where as you are a spy sent from the manestream media to learn our secrets. Nice try you, but I'm on to your little game.

[Ironmonger]

Going back to what Kipper said about avatars being a reflection, I can agree with that. I associate myself with the Iron Warriors because I've been through many hells and came back with my sanity intact, stronger than ever...except I still get nervous around sharp objects. For the sake of this say I originally was a being made of copper or bronze. Within the time space of four years I was turned to a being of cold, blackened steel that's been corroded away, in fact I get mistaken for being a horrible person or a bastard a lot. In conclusion, my avatar says that I was down but not out, and now I'm back and better than ever, ready to love and tolerate the shit out of people.

[Caoimhe]

This thing is really a placeholder until I figure out what the fuck to make for an appropriate ponysona. But I just love scootaburg so much. :D
