Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

Influence or power? Power can exist in the form of influence and influence can be obtained by power.
What we have now is the choice of giving that to Soft's cult(that is going to be our cult soon).
Also the cult is not growing, it is decaying, the ponies are actively losing the Wolf spark that...
QM mentioned that Velvet won't benefit from the cult if we don't take over it. Tools doesn't get Velvet anything, if we want to extract ourselves from the situation with the minimum price paid, we should take Influence, because getting Mayor Mare to good friend isn't much of an ask and they...
…This really isn’t about what Velvet gets out of it? It’s what the cult gets out of it, and the cult is not really a tool in our hands?
Bird made this pretty clear — this is more. question of what “price” we’re paying more than a question of what “reward” we’re choosing.
More stain-equivalence is influence. Tools are influence. They come in different forms, but when you’ve got a big and growing cult in Ponyville, that is levelling up in some regards here, it’s going to have influence over Ponyville.
[X] Gift her influence.
This really seems perfectly fine. They’re going to have influence no matter what. It’s not a big lift if we want to bring Mayor Mare to Good Friend, and probably tolerable if we don’t. And the political influence is, if anything, less impactful than more...
Threadmarks: The Date with Winter Part 2 -By Sift Green
The two of them were seated by the cafe staff as soon as they crossed through the doors, and only a few moments later the pawn themed waitstaff had taken their order and explained the basic functions of the holotables. The minutes waiting for their food to arrive were spent familiarizing...
Ah, so it is time for that vote. I suspected it would be the first thing.
That sounds good, the Daughter losing interest shows that there is hope for some of them and if there is hope for some of them, there might be a future where we don't have to kill them all.
Ha ha ha! NO!
Yes, I hope we...
I now feel like Freedom vs. Tools comes down to how much Velvet trusts Sweeps to run her cult. Like we could continue Velvet's controlling tendencies and seize its direct running for herself, there's no doubt that she'd be better at running things too, but maybe it'd be okay to just let go, for...
[X] Gift her inspiration.
[X] Gift her tools
What a cute group of little friends.
A pity we definitely don't have the ap for Freedom.
Edit.
[X] Gift her influence.
Leading a cult is very different from being in a cult! QM spent IRL years and over half the quest constantly bemoaning that we dont have a cult in the cult-based game and not-so-subtly hinting that going it alone and making up for it with our omni-competence is making it harder than it needs to...
There aren't a lot of WoD out there that I'm not going to complain. Besides, I already consume my fair share of grim dark stories that his works are a breathe of fresh air.
As for the Owl House Werewolf story, yeah I've read all the chapters but so far there's not a lot I can talk about.
I get what you are coming from, but i think the tools appeal to me more, and being again in a cult after we stopped being in a cult is like...hmmmmm...
[X] Gift her tools.
I was still open to counterarguments, I'm moderately leaning toward it right now and arguing for it, but I wouldn't be shocked if a thread regular managed to make a cogent effortpost that convinced me! I was trying to open the floor to that.
I dont think she's in danger of being shoveled like...
