STOP SENDING WTG IMAGES TO PHOE

EVENT POSTPONED!

Greetings, recruits! It's been a rough road to start, but I'm glad to see you're all still with me. Despite a large number of setbacks, we've no fewer than 560(!!!?!!) armored entrants for today's marching orders. Considering you guys didn't have functional submission guidelines to go off of, that's quite the accomplishment. Well done, all of you.
For today, as I'm sure you all have noticed, the submission script we had been using is no longer functional. We're currently seeking alternative solutions, but for now what we were planning on doing is taking your entries via e-mail. However! There's a problem with this. I have just moved into a new apartment. This apartment does not have internet service. I cannot possibly manage all of this on my phone, and the solution I used today is now no longer an option. And you guys are so full of pictures it hurts. So here's what I'm doing. I'm getting as many pictures up in tonight's gallery as possible. What I can't get to, I'll release in a sub-gallery tomorrow. I'm giving you Day 2's theme now, but DO NOT SUBMIT!!! You're getting bonus time to think of neat ways to do it. I will let you know when I can manage to run this event in a way that's fair to all of you. I let you down, and I'm sorry.
Day 2: You're In the Army Now
After taking some time to get adjusted to your new life, you finally feel ready to turn up for basic training. Like your bunkmate keeps saying, no point in marching off to war without knowing how to fight, right? The sun is shining painfully bright above you, as the drill instructor barks orders at pair of fencing unicorns.
"No. Guard up, damn you! Up! Riposte! Why aren't you...? Ugh. Just... just take five, everypony."
Now, she turns to you, and the rest of the newbie class, gesturing to the foam swords sitting in front of you.
"Pick those up and find a partner."
It doesn't take long for you to learn you're not cut out for this. It's impossible to get a grip, and all you can manage to occasionally take a clumsy horizontal slash at your sparring partner. You're rewarded for your efforts with a disapproving thwack from the instructor's own foam blade.
"Nmph. Yuh hbth to hrd rt lrrk thth!"
"Mrph?"
"Thth! Lrrk thth!" She gestures wildly, but does nothing further to communicate her... uh... point.
"Whr mrshf..." Ptooi. "Why would anypony even make weapons like this in a country without hands?"
High above on a tower balcony, Princess Celestia stifles a giggle.

That's a lot of scoot right there. This is a pretty simple one, all you need to do is dodge hay bayles and collect cupcakes. Easy right? You even get a short hover with her tiny little wings.

For a very long time, we've all wanted Hasbro to release episodes outside of the United States in a legal fashion so that more people could support them.
As it turns out, citing a recent email from a Hasbro representative, Hasbro releasing episodes before they are aired on the respective country's television networks infringes on the deals made with those networks. There is a holdback period as well- a period in which a network can bar sales of DVDs and other downloads of the episode for a while after it has been aired.
You can find the full text of the email below the break, names removed.
This goes a long way to explaining why legal downloads of the show are scarce outside the United States. Unfortunately it also means that we just have to be patient. Legal systems are picky, finicky things, especially when they have to work together.
For the meantime, we'll need to stick to Youtube. It's not ideal, but so far it's worked fairly well.

A few days ago, we threw a "top five pony" discussion up. With a whopping 969 replies, it was obviously pretty popular!
I bet you all wondered who the winners were though. Thankfully, someone going by the name of Fluttertroll compiled everything for us. That's some seriously hard work right there!
Check out his emoticon filled copy paste after the break for a full results summary!
UPDATE: Or check out the google doc for advanced information!

I think Tara must have found a way to clone herself or something. It looks like Equestria LA has brought her on for November. How she manages to do all of these is beyond me, but LA is a pretty massive entertainment hub, so I bet a ton of you will be all over this one!
Check out the press release below!

I am going to hire an author to extend books for Twilight Sparkle, just so she never has to feel this again.
Poor Twi...

I don't know what it is about Trixie, but seeing her randomly on top of this tree giving out powerups was amazing.
The Pony Platforming Game has had a whole bunch of neat additions added. For those that missed it the first time, be prepared for one of the more impressive FiM fan games out there. For those that played it before, have some snow and Trixie!
Check out the game here.
And the ponychan thread here. -
The final tally is in! I think most of us would agree with this. The top twenty definitely fit with my expectations (Aside from the lack of Boast Busters... poor Trixie... )
We did get around ~2500 fake votes for The Mysterious Mare Do Well from 4chan , so it didn't actually make the cut.
I will fire it off to The Hub and see what they think! The voting for the actual Valentines Day Mare-athon will take place on the 24th of January, so be sure to hit that up, as well as the event on the actual Hub Network channel on the 11th of February!
