Rarity certainly stole the show this weekend, ending with a fabulous new look to show off her awesomeness. Appropriate that the pony with an eye for gems looks the best when crystallized, eh?
News time you guys! Check it out after the break.
Luna Radio's Hurricane Sandy Fundraiser!
Ever generous, another group of Bronies have started up a fundraiser for Hurricane Sandy victims. Check out the details below on how you can contribute!
We are currently hosting a 168 hour Live DJ-athon this week until Sunday in order to raise funds for the Red Cross to aid in disaster recovery of Hurricane Sandy. The event is called "Lunar Auxilium Nox, a Hurricane Sandy Relief Project" and 100% of the donations will be going directly to the Red Cross from November 12th - 18th. We respectfully ask to have this event featured on your website as we feel that it will boost our efforts to help those in need greatly. We also feel that a feature would aid all parties of this event greatly and would be in much appreciation for it
Card Game Update
The Cards with Friends Project has recently released a new update about the game. Take a look for details below.
Cards with Friends is currently entering a phase in which testing is incredibly crucial! The team is getting ready to make the first major tweaks and changes to the rules, so people interested in helping to take part in this process would be making a huge difference in the evolution of the game!
What do you do to help test? Simple!
1. Read the Rulebook for MLP: Cards with Friends, which can be found at http://mlpcardswithfriends.
2.Print out or write down each card for the two available decks on separate notecards/scrap paper.
***DA user Silverradicand has kindly provided us with a template which you can just print out and cut out to play with! (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/85872763/MLP%20Cards%20with%20Friends%20Decks.docx)
3. Sit down with some friends and play it out!! When you've finished, it would be most useful if you could leave impressions of the game on the Cards with Friends survey (http://mlpcardswithfriends.

Czech OC Contest
A group of Czech Bronies are asking for some help designing an OC for themselves. To do so they are holding a contest where the best OC submitted will not only be used for their group, but the winner will receive a crotchet plush like one of the ones below. If you're interested, check out the full details down below.
What was the contest about? It was simple:
Design and
draw our Equestria United OC pony. Only rules were, that it was pure
digital works (better vector only, but not mandatory) and the cutiemark
should be EQUnited logo (which we kindly use as the page profile
picture).
Other than this, there are no rules. The OC can be alicorn,
unicorn, pegasi or earth pony, mane and hide colors do not matter too.
And
the prize? Well except that we are going to use the OC as our mascot
(the admins of the page will be the judges, as well as we will be
choosing the name), the winner will receive his design crotcheted as a
full 3d realwool pony :)
The mail for the submissions is equestriacz@derpymail.org

Also, this week, we will go into quite a large number of news, including, techincally speaking, the birthday of our favorite wall-eyed mare! :D

Successful Meetups

South Australian Premiere Meetup
Copy Paste:
On Sunday 11 November (also Remembrance Day), the South Australian
Brony community got together at the Hallett Cove Beach Boatshed Cafe for
a lunch followed by cakes and the Season 3 screening. Two ponies had
birthdays that weekend, so we had enough cake to please even Pinkie Pie!
We screened the Season 3 Premier which was fantastic, and held an
auction afterwards. Some funds from the pony poster sale was donated to
Doctors Without Borders. Thanks for everypony who came to make it a
success!
Norway Meetup
Copy Paste:
Successful meetup in a pizza restaurant in Oslo at Saturday
as we watched the season premiere. In the beginning we had some
problems with the loudspeakers (because apparently the
restaurant didn't have any loudspeakers o.O) but one of our awesome
members actually ran off to the store to buy some new ones! So when the
show started we could enjoy the live stream in our own VIP room.
Afterwards we discussed a bit about how awesome it was. And later at the
evening we "viking-raided" a toy store and emptied it for blind-bags
and other MLP products.
