Breaking News: Ponies, Sea Ponies Reach Historic Accord
Coastal towns can rest easy, as the late summer summit lead by one Lyra T. Unicorn and her Seapony doppelganger ended in what witnesses described as "a frenzy of hugs and excited squealing."
"What else was I supposed to do?" Said Lyra, "She's just so gosh darned adorable. Finally, somepony who understands me. I mean, just the other day I was saying to Bon Bon, I said... hey, wait! Where are you going with that microphone? I'm not finished yet!"
The meeting is expected to usher in a new era of friendship between the two estranged cultures while preserving the all-important Bridle Shores fishing and marine industry. More news after the break.

Brazilian bronies delighted by the appearance of talking pink Celestia figures in local stores were dismayed to find that their country's policy of always upcharging everything by 7 million percent did not make an exception for the Magic of Friendship.

Pony Presence Discovered in Middle East in Advance of Hasbro
As if to prove the ever expanding influence of Friendship and Marshmallows, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic would appear to have found its way onto Middle Easter air waves before any sort of corporate presence by parent company Hasbro.What this means is a matter of speculation, and a highly sophisticated journalistic organization such as Equestria Daily must refrain from such, as it always has and most certainly always will. A digitally captioned version of the advertisement slot can be found here.

Earlyiest one ever o.o
ReplyDeletea Phoe nightly roundup?
ReplyDeleteI FEAR CHANGE
@Nals
ReplyDeleteIt's 4 AM. o.o
N is the 14th letter of the alphabet.
ReplyDeleteThere are 14 characters in the name, 'Twilight Sparkle', including the space.
This is clearly a conspiracy.
Inform Alex Jones.
Confound it Phoe you raised the bar again!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job with the round-up, Phoe! This is really a nice change of pace, though the lack of exclamation points is frightening.
ReplyDeleteNot first.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think the link to the RPG is busted.
This is super fun! But it's kinda hard to get the info out of it. >_>
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I've never liked the "tongue in cheek" nightly roundups. I prefer it when I can actually understand what's going on just by looking at the headlines.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, kudos for actually having it out at a time when some people might actually be still awake. They really should just call them Breakfast round-ups or something.
Phoe is pr0
ReplyDelete@adddemon
ReplyDeleteFear it?
I RELISH IT.
Oh ho ho, yes, Phoe, you just wrote what is essentially a miniature Equestrian Enquirer. I envy you and your writing abilities.
ReplyDeleteMini Equestrian Enquirer ftw Phoe!
ReplyDeleteSuper early (right after I wake up here in Spain, wow) but this was AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteI hope all Nightly Round-Ups go this way from time to time, because it was wonderfully enjoyable <3
Phoe Nightly Round Ups are best nightly round ups.
ReplyDeleteSweet. I can still watch MLP while studying abroad in Cairo this spring!
ReplyDelete*laughs to self* I just got an idea of what a Nightly Roundup from Cereal would look like, anypony have a link to such a thing if it's been done? If it hasn't been done, it must happen tomorrow, err... today.
ReplyDeletei couldn't get to sleep so i decided to check EqD, and you know what i found? A Phoe nightly round up! i might as well just stay up for ep2 now
ReplyDeleteI approve of this format.
ReplyDelete*Looks at Brazil price*
ReplyDeleteAhh, VAT tax, you ravenous foe of foreign businesses.
Another Phoe Nightly Round Up!
ReplyDeleteI demand that this becomes a weekly thing, or something.
I like Phoe's writing style! More of a traditional newspaper writing style. Even though I'm the kind that likes their news delivered with the speed of an automatic weapon, you really have to appreciate how well written it is.
ReplyDeleteAnd a pony pillow in sewing class? If this is a guy he has my complete respect :D Heck, even if it was a girl, MLP doesn't exactly fly well in most public schools that I know. Yet that damn hello kitty does. Ugh.
Lol Phoe its only 1am were im at, well 1:43 now
ReplyDeleteBtw great job on the round-up :3
Haha, a nice change of style in news. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteIt was a mildly amusing nice change of pace until this line.....
ReplyDelete"The electronic figurine, beloved the world over for responding to having her butt touched by asking the offending party if they are a princess too"
I absolutely lost it at that point.
A Nightly Roundup actually posted at night!? What is is this madness?
ReplyDeleteweekly phoe nightly round up secconded. or more often;)
ReplyDeletealso awesome work
I love the Phoe roundups, they are so fun :)
ReplyDeleteAs a side note, when is the livestream/whatever info gonna go up for the 2nd episode? Inquiring minds want to know!
Princess Celestia is US$40-$50 in Australia, so it ain't that brilliant here either.
ReplyDeleteExcellent roundup, good fun to read. More please!
ReplyDeleteAIN'T NO ROUND-UP LIKE A PHOE NIGHTLY ROUND-UP 'CAUSE A PHOE NIGHTLY ROUND-UP DON'T STOP!
ReplyDeleteDash: It kinda does...
Oh. Well then. Still liked it, though.
will there be any sea-pony I wonder? It would look quite funny
ReplyDeleteHaha, nice job Phoe! Loved the Nightly Roundup!
ReplyDeletePoor, poor Seth. He still hasn't lived down the first Phoe Nightly Round up, and now a second, and hopefully another tomorrow??
ReplyDeleteRaise that bar, Phoe! Yours is the bar that will pier... nah, overdone... hmmm
Eh, I got nuthin.
Yay news!
If any Brony wanna play Starcraft II , team or 1v1 , let me know TdTǂDac.675 :P
ReplyDelete@Dac
ReplyDeleteOmg , sorry , TdTǂDac.805 , code changed after nick change >.<
Phoe, I love you. -:D
ReplyDeleteAs much as I genuinely enjoyed Phoe's Nightly Roundups... I gotta admit trying to read it all was quite taxing at this time. XD
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have it as an occasional thing, but I think I would prefer if we stick to the Seth's NR usually. XD
I want to see a Cereal Nightly Round up!
ReplyDeleteYou are now reading the message on the Vinyl Scratch cake in the voice of Paul Denton
ReplyDeleteAlso, loved this nightly roundup Phoe :)
Read the first few lines... "Eeyup, that's definitely Phoe."
ReplyDeleteDamn, I hope that's my JC Vinyl Scratch cake. Even though it's six moths late/early. Wouldn't have to hide my MLP after that.
@Phoe
ReplyDeleteYou rock, wohoo!
When will you guys post live streams of episode 2?? Please answer :)
ReplyDeleteMother of god its never taken me so long to read a nightly roundup. I thought these were supposed to be short and concise? Oh well at least theres more humor in it.
ReplyDeleteWell, that was unexpected. And fun. The Lyra and Lyra summit report was terrific. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, the sketchbook auction depicts a Luna cover (and a very nice one too), but it's for a commission where you can specify what you want on the cover. You can even request a non-pony subject, though why you would want to is beyond me.
ReplyDeletePhoe Nightly Roundup?
ReplyDeleteI'm liking this idea!
Oh Phoe, your Nightly Roundups make Seth's look like garbage.
ReplyDeleteAlso, My Little Pony in Arabic?
NAM! SHUKRAN HASBRO!
Wait, is the Staff asleep!?
ReplyDeleteI MUST KNOW A STREAM TO GET MLP S2 E2 D:
Well, of course I still live!
ReplyDeleteWhat, you all honestly thought I could be destroyed by a lightshow? Hardly! I fed off that feeble Luna's powers long enough. I just decided to take my leave in a dramatic fashion.
I've already a plan schemed and plotted. Soon, I will plunge the world all you sun-loving ponies know and adore so much into an eternal night that will last FOREVER!
Wow. I loved the Phoe-style nightly roundup. She needs to do it more often. That was really entertaining to read.
ReplyDeletephoe nightly round ups are like trying to read a newspaper x)
ReplyDeleteHey Phoe, Cereal, where are our stream links at?
ReplyDelete(Don't mean to sound rude, just figured you guys would be putting them up in Seth's absense, need to know if I have to go looking for a stream).
And just as I post that, it turns up on the front page.
ReplyDeleteDarn you blogponies!

ReplyDeleteI like this format for the Nightly Roundup. This should be the new standard.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't of asked for a better advert for my RP site. You guys are amazing. XD <3
ReplyDeleteI love it when Phoe does the roundup. Its kind of like that day when that cool substitute teacher comes in and gives everyone muffins for the science class..... My school was weird.
ReplyDeleteAwesome pony pillow. I don't think we have had one of them before.
I prefer Seth's roundups, with the gratuitous exclamation marks and all. They're more efficient, while this takes a while to read.
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice change of pace, though. It's fun to read, more like something out of a newspaper than a blog.
Very nice Phoe! I hope you do this again!
ReplyDeleteCool, Equestria Daily posted my cake for Octavia.
ReplyDeleteI hope that Octavia had a fun Birthday.
It's awesome how someone else also made a music pony related cake.
@SethistoI thought it was too wordy.
ReplyDeletePlease don't hate me Sethisto, but this night roundup I have read from top to botom, it is great, very entretaining
ReplyDeleteThe Middle East can only benefit from watching MLP, talk about a place in chaos
ReplyDeleteI like discord because he has the same demented humor I have!
ReplyDeleteI have played evey Pony PnP RPG to come out on this site! looks like my players get another one!
ReplyDelete(flutteryay)
@Firleycat I like your school.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletePhoe!! You write so much!!!
ReplyDeleteThat Vinyl cake. So freakin' delicious. But yes, the mysterious 'JC', that made me laugh, Phoe. Thanks for the great laugh!
ReplyDeleteEven though I slept past the new episode, I still have this.
ReplyDeleteToday is still starting off well.
@Firleycat
ReplyDeleteWas your substitute teacher wall-eyed?
I'm worried about the Arabic dub of MLP. Arabic dubs are horrible if done by anyone other than Disney.
ReplyDeleteThat and Cartoon Network is like the hub in America, a channel that few have access to.
So this is what it looks like when Phoe does a nightly roundup.
ReplyDeleteQuite a different approach then Seth uses. It's quite entertaining, actually.
*Brazlian taxes are absurd*
ReplyDeleteBah, everyone here knows it
I swear to god the worst place to be a brony is Brazil. Nissa commercial? Expensive ponies? McDonalds trolling us with their light up toys and supporting the Nissan commercial idea? Love and tolerate... must love and tolerate...
ReplyDeleteSo Celestia wants to banish us to the moon for having a party huh, luna all the way then =b
ReplyDeletePhoe round-ups are best round-ups. It's like the super awesome babysitter that has awesome games to play and lets you eat SO MUCH ICE CREAM and is the best storyteller everrrrrrrrrr.
ReplyDeleteBut then when "dad"/Sethisto comes back, we'll come back to the same routine...?
Phoe's nightly round ups are the best. Seth, step your game up.
ReplyDelete"The electronic figurine, beloved the world over for responding to having her butt touched by asking the offending party if they are a princess too"
ReplyDeleteXD
Me Gusta Phoe!
The RPG idea is pretty awesome. Too bad I don't have and local Bronies to play with. Need to do some convertin....
ReplyDeletePhoe why are you being so mean to poor Seth? Now people will except more of him or demand that you take over the nightly round ups.
ReplyDeleteThat's why i prefer custom toys. Hasbro just doesn't seems to make better toys than us, Bronies.
ReplyDelete@Quilton
ReplyDeleteIn response to that, you and anypony else wanna try and play over the magic of the internet? I'm ceertainly up for it!
Great read, lots of interesting news going on. Change in format was cool xD
ReplyDeleteWait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
ReplyDeleteWait.
The Arabic Cartoon Network is getting MLP, but our shitty Cartoon Network only gets to show Adventure Time and Regular Show and no MLP?
I call shenanigans so hard on that.
Nightly round up...
ReplyDeleteNightmare moon....
O.O
After an episode of My Little German Pony it starts sounding like the Sims are talking...
ReplyDeleteBut the voices fit, unlike a lot of shows I've seen.
@DashAttack
ReplyDeleteTis licensing purposes. Since Hasbro can't create the Hub outside of the US, in order to distrubute their shows - they must sign deals with TV companies to host the shows for them, and do the translation and such.
For example, Nickelodeon is handling the German dub in that specfic country (that includes translation), and airs in Treehouse TV in Canada (with sutble differences; since the channel unfortunately is targeted to preschoolers).
Those RP rules... I'm being subtly tricked into wanting to jump in and help them make the rules easier to muddle through...
ReplyDeleteI just got back after a weekend full of duel Brony meets. I didn't even know about the cake until someone at one of the meets mentioned it to me. How sweet. I am going to have to find out who made me this adorable Birthday cake. <3
