And anatomy in general, and has an extensive knowledge on the biological functions of horses. And dolphins. If fact, I don't think we were supposed to bring up the subject of the dolphins ever again...

Yep. Dolphins are on the List that we're not supposed to
discuss anywhere Somber might have to hear it, IIRC.

You guys have to be kidding with me. I can't believe I missed this. I'm almost tempted to wade through the eight something other dead comment threads just to find this marvelous nonsense.

...Eight?

Hehehehehehehehee...
Bwahahahahahahaha!

Yeah, I think it's a long way past eight.

I just took a guess, let me see how many there actually are....

...18, not counting this one. I was only ten off. Well now I'm conflicted.

Plus three threads on EqD. The first two capped at 5,000 posts each, and we moved over here when the third was a different format that we found unsuitable to our typical mode of discussion.
...
Or was it the fourth?

[Moodyman90]

And you have to understand that from the discussion thread spun off into a vast majority of other threads, including the Fallout Equestria RP and the Comment Crew Chat.

[WovenTales]

Yeah, I lost count somewhere after thirteen. And the dolphins weren't even here—that discussion was somewhere all the way back before we left Equestria Daily. Not sure which of the posts it was attached to, though (Comment Thread 1, maybe?).

@Sindri: There was the main post and three overflow threads, the last of which we didn't use. So three threads, plus very little discussion on Comment Thread 3.

I do believe the dolphin incident happened back at EQD.

Thanks. So yeah, the last time we were allowed to discuss dolphins was somewhere in the midst of the 15,400 or so posts on Equestria Daily, before we came here and filled eighteen main threads. Happy hunting!

Oh well that narrows it down a bit.

Ugh, no it doesnt. It went from something like 18,000 to 15,400. I'm gonna have to put this on the list of things that I wanna do, but probably never will, which is disappointing me. I might get to it someday anyway.

Fun lady, if slightly obsessed with female anatomy.

And anatomy in general, and has an extensive knowledge on the biological functions of horses. And dolphins. If fact, I don't think we were supposed to bring up the subject of the dolphins ever again...

Yes. Never, ever again....

You guys can't just talk about dolphins like that and not expect newbies to get curious. What could be so shocking about dolphins we aren't allowed to mention the subject? [/schmuck_bait]

Well, yes and no. We mess with everybody, pretty much all the time, but nobody has said anything untrue in this conversation so far as I am aware, and nothing we do is simple.

Well... my apologies again, Sindri...

I'll just leave this here and go back to Happyhorn.

That's it, after reading Chapter 13 I'm gonna make myself to doing one
of the "Let's Read" commentaries for the next chapter when it goes up.
I'm fairly bad at substantial comments after the fact, and this latest
chapter especially deserves numerous big walls of text (that I'm not
good enough to write). Mostly, though, if I had been typping a
commentary as I read, I would have captured the FREAKING EXTREME CRAZY SCARY AWESOME
oh jeez. Absolutely everything about the description of that
super-weapon is 200000% cooler than I could have possibly hoped for. Now
that I've read it, I'm not sure I could dissect it like I could have. I
can't let something even remotely that amazing pass by again.

August 15, 2011. I guess it never really hit me till now, but we Dashites know each other by now. We're friends on the internet in a way that's beyond almost all internet friendships: If we met IRL we'd actually talk and stuff and be acquaintances. (That word is technically what I mean, but jeez it's bland. Sorry.) I've gotten about a gazillion times more eloquent (but still never enough!) and I still haven't done a chapter reading commentary. Now I absolutely have to for the next chapter.Also, the most ironically inappropriate first comment award goes to this pony:

Its not that I dont think its true, its that you guys keep making me want to find it again, and then I look at the numbers, and then I don't want to anymore...and then you say something that makes me want to find it again.

@Wavey
Yes! This is absolutely just what I needed today. :) Very cute, and very evocative of how you represent the world of PH - a great way to cap off a year and change of Boo tumblr, for sure.

Project Horizon is good, but I've found some typos:
part 1:
"there are worst things" ought to be "there are worse things"
"didn’t have to knock if you didn’t have to" should probably replace the second "have" with "want"
not a typo, but I think that inserting "the door opened and" into "toilet as I stared" might improve flow
"thing I that" delete the "I"
again, not a typo, but I think that replacing "with" with a comma in "and at once darted out with one holding a pistol in his mouth" would improve flow
"shotgun and triggers S.A.T.S." ought to be "triggered"
you might want to change "the doorway two stringy" to "the doorway to a store" or something; the location is only made clear later
"through the match" ought to be "through the hatch"

part 2:
"I should ask Twilight how" I assume you mean "ask Midnight"
-
MAJOR PLOT ERROR DETECTED:
The Granny terminal said that Big Macintosh died saving Princess Luna; Big Macintosh died saving Princess Celestia. Quoth Chapter Twelve: "when Big Macintosh leapt in front of a zebra assassin’s bullet meant for Princess Celestia, dying instantly"
-
"at the butchered draped across" butchered what?
"the forth raider" ought to be "fourth"
"more mindless filth" I don't really understand what you mean here; in 99, was some of the filth sentient?
"“Get down, girls.”" You might want to distort this; she has a shotgun in her mouth, after all.

Closing remarks: Well, I was very annoyed when I realized that I'd reached the end of the posted story, and I think that that's a good sign.

Them old days...
Some of the stuff I said back there makes no sense to me now, I look back and ask why did I say that? It's stupid/silly/ridiculous!
Oh well, good memories.
First posts related to the story made by me that I can find(January 16th,2012) are talking about Blackjack's death and the end of the story, which is quite ironic to me in hindsight considering that neither has happened yet, and Folly.
Guh, I wasn't even trying to use something resembling proper grammar back then. So sloppy.

I've noticed that there are a lot of names that stand out in memory that are no longer with us. And that Sindri has a lot of posts. And how intimidatingly huge the reviews and thought process posts were.

[Moodyman90]

I showed up around late March/early April last year and didn't say much.

Then we came here and I took the opportunity to properly jump into the middle of the madness and I don't regret it.

Guys, I think this Sanguine chap might be Goldenblood!

Ah, those were the days... =P
