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.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.
Why yes, you do have details on how Mayor Mare would be affected.
"Negatively" :V
But to be honest, this is mostly an OOC warning. I don't mind "fair" curveballs. But ponies on your contacts list are things I hold a bit closer to my heart than the ones not in there.
So, no further hints other...
Lucifer kinda wrote himself out of the story when he left the universe.
And Brainiac did show up in the YJ comics, so he may show up in the story.
He's also not really that powerful compared to other entities that Zoat has already used.
But what you asked about is NOT a fanfic argument or discussion? You literally asked about a story, that someone wrote, then decided they did not want to write anymore and deleted.
Guess what? Even if they deleted it from every website they had it on, they still own every right to what...
I think saying in public how someone can find a deleted fic is questionable for the same reasons as reposting or directly linking it -- it eliminates the break between the author and fic that, for whatever personal or professional reason, they chose to make.
I agree if we're talking about Ao3, since it's like, a one-click thing and poof, you have a copy. But for longer stories on QQ, or other forum-based websites, or even Akun, that's a whole-as process to do.
That's more or less my stance, personally.
-Re-posting? No. It's basically plagiarism...
Yeah we would need at least 360 bits. And guess what, Shaper?
We're gonna have at least 500 bits next turn, possibly 550 depending on Rarity's exact dividend numbers, considering there's a snowball's chance in hell that we don't have Rarity on commission. Are you really going to argue that...
Wait, what? Was it mentioned somewhere? Because the only options we had for where Velvet would live were: Ponyville, Canterlot, the Crystal Empire and Manehattan.
We don't have the bits for a long expedition for multiple Names given your instance on wasting any chance of us gaining bits all the time.
We'd need at least 360 bits for a long expedition to go after a level 7 book. Baldomare, Axe and Mareinette at very least.
Which runs counter to our...
BTRC3 isn't the key to a Name's permanent loyalty, and it's never been anywhere close to a priority. Long expeditions, especially one for a Level 7 book, are also going to be more difficult. The exact kind of situation where the oomph of sending more than a single Name is absolutely warranted.
Cloudsdale indicates a Pegasus, Windy was an Earth Pony from what I remember.
Copper was also very petty and controlling from what we saw.
And the description states that it could be a thief or a traitor(just please don't be Zephyr Breeze). So I'm not really vibing with an expedition called...
25 bits and zero AP is a lot different than 125 bits and their full turns. Sending extra names on short expeditions is easy fun and profitable. For a long expedition we are absolutely going to need to rely on Axe's general bonus plus artifacts and fun sized Forge name. See how we've repeatedly...
???
??????
Are we considering +30 Lore bonuses pointless now? Barely even a couple of turns after we sent an entire trio of Names plus an alicorn just to kill a single, mortal pony for the explicit purpose of covering all of our bases?
Wasn't the Freedom option a permenant AP removal? Also, I don't think Influence is actually going to be all that bad for us, since (unless I'm missing something) it's just one social action paired with keeping the Leash on Mayor Mayor for a turn or two until the danger's passed (since I am under...
