New discussion time!

Do ponies have alcohol? They know what spiked punch is, they have cider cellars (used to ferment non-alcoholic cider), Berry Punch, margarita mix (in first episode)… Anything else you can think of?

Thessien (or however his name is spelled) confirmed there's no alcohol in Equestria.
Next?

Don't dedicate pages to a pony. If you want a reason, I can give it to you. It stems from way back before you were on the thread.
 
 
I mean, geez, I put in bold and BLUE a couple of pages back not to dedicate pages to anything except in special circumstances.

Don't make me post th-

Too late.

though i know it's because people are either
1. Watching the video someone had recently posted

Then you'd have hated certain points early in this threads' history.
I'll go ahead and post this to give some background as to why I'm more adamant about keeping certain things from dominating this thread. The tone of this post is certainly not in the spirit of Pony, and I am sorry about that. But it'll give you an idea of why I post and call out things like I do. And it'll give you a basis on which to say, "That's BS, and here's why:" In which case, I'll know to shut up.
 
 
Back before I made the KYM Pony Discussion thread, there was a concern about the first KYM Pony General thread. Pages got to where they would simply be devoted to a pony or a theme for pictures. Discussion was attempted within these threads, but they were ignored more often than not. It alienated those who wanted to talk about ponies on a Pony thread in a forum, forcing them to post in the Comments section of the article. Discussion had become difficult on a forum created where the main purpose was to discuss a topic. Furthermore, the thread occasionally had days where no one would post, because we had already found all of the decent art of a pony.
 
After talking about those problems with the thread, I started Pony Discussion because I wanted to respect those who just wanted to post pictures. In the midst of the massive amounts of negakarma I received, the posters on KYM Pony General began to regulate themselves to limit images for each post, limit posts for each page, and to not have page themes. This was done to keep people from posting less meme-related posts in the Comments section of the FiM article and to keep a regular pace to the Pony thread which would help people on here to keep less meme-related posts out of the comments section.

That keeps MLP:FiM from dominating the Trending Bar all of the time.

That keeps people from being too annoyed with the active Brony community here.

That keeps sections from being locked as it has been before.

That keeps shitstorms from starting.

That keeps people from getting banned. I remember when a couple of users (by username) wanted to post in the comments just to spite the mods. It would have ended in bans.
 
 
I post images myself. On this thread. I don't have a problem with images. When I brought it up before, I posted an image Pinkie Pie leaving saying "I'm out" as a humorous way of making fun of myself for being more of a discussion-focused guy. I'm currently posting in the Beat the Picture Above You thread where images are mandatory.  
 
I just don't want this thread to get to the point that it did before because of the problems we had before. And since many users weren't posting on the thread here before that time, I don't think they knew how previous stuff got started. Themed pages weren't the only causes, but they certainly played a role.

here we go the plot of my fan fiction (remember this is just a rough draft of my story)

a group of ponies have started to rebelled against celestias rule over equestia, going against anything she says, saying that earth orbited the sun, and the moon orbited the earth, they seasons were caused by the tilt of the earth, and many other things. celestia doesn't want the ponies to know the truth and has started to send her royal guards out on a search for ponies who did not believe in her. the rebellious ponies that were found would be tortured until they converted, or they would be killed. a rebellion has formed and have been hiding in camps through out equestria. but many of those camps have been found and cleared out by celestias royal guards.

now in part one of my fan fiction is when Braeburn who was one of the rebels (you know, applejacks cousin) was captured by the guards and sentenced to the dungeon to be tortured, (now here is a reference off cupcakes) the torture program is ran by none other than pinkie pie (i just had to put here in this story)

thats pretty much it for now, they rest of part one is pretty much breaburn being tortured, this story is based off "the pit and pendulum" by Edgar Allan Poe

what do you think?

You do type a lot.

But for your reply. This thread is about MLP (duh), but that means everything about MLP. Images, discussion, fanworks, episodes, etc. Of course there are some things we shouldn't post, but you get the point.

I understand your frustation about the images sometimes, but people want to have fun in this thread. Some do that through images, you can't blame them for that. Character dedicated pages are rare now, but not every page has to be dedicated to discussion. There's more in life. I remember some pages in the old forum where people requested them to be dedicated to a pony, got pushed back by discussion. So it goes both ways.

Currently I believe we found a good balance between both. There's discussion now, as there are images. If you don't like the one, the other is still present.

Well, just because our current month (or even their current month equivalent) is October doesn't mean a fanfiction made (set) in the month needs to be grimdark. It also doesn't mean it can't be grimdark, either.

Also, I don't read much fanfiction, so take my opinion with a few grains of salt, but yours has my interest of sorts.
It sounds coherent. I like what you're trying to get at. In a different version of the world, I could see it happening (except for Pinkie…I can't wrap my head around that in any reality, because I know Pinkie.) I think it makes more sense if you take Ponies out of it, and replaced Celestia with the church or something. In this reality, the most likely person to be imprisoned and tortured is Twilight Sparkle. She's probably the most academic pony in the show so far, so you'll have to address that interaction with her and Celestia, if the characters are to stay at least somewhat in character.
 
Also, Gigatoast is gonna raaaaaaaage…


Also, what Verbose said inspired me to begin workin gon a Silent Hill/MLP FIM fic
not SH characters in Ponyville, the ponies in a SH-like situation

the equestrian inquisition?

Well to get a idea what to do for the torture scene or something you may need to read cupcakes to get ideas. For my fanfic I do research what really make a pony insane, the most scared, the most saddened (well i still need to do research on that), but I bet your fanfic is going to be excellent. (Mine is gonna have a bit of some doom 3, little of some resident evil, some portal, Predator in a way, some rainbow factory, and cupcakes, along with a long lost ancient entity that is brothers with Discord, BUT THERE WON'T BE ANYTHING SEXUAL THAT IS MY GOAL RIGHT THERE.) :D

What the fuck is up with everyone today? First blank man starts screwing with textiles in the nothingness thread and now Pony 2.0 gets crazy and stops making sense. The lulz are over 9000!!!!!!!!1!!!!!~!
