One possible change, incidentally, that would make a lot of sense to me would be to scrap the application for prefect altogether, and just have the prefect positions for each dorm picked out by the staff. Opinions on this?

--Silvy

1427694
I was being stupid when I suggested attaching the prefect/warden applications to those, so I say have either have the staff decide, or leave it to the dorm to decide via unanimous decision. I'm not quite sure how many positions will be opening up for those eight slots, as I'm hoping Blue can at least still have her position as prefect in the reboot.

Also, what about that HoH idea you talked about before, is that still a possibility to implement, or would it be simpler to just have prefects and wardens?

There's also the problem of the nurse, since she's come back she hasn't set foot in Weston, so I'm wondering about her role as nurse for the college...

1427759

Well, dorm warden requires a bit more from the person in question then prefect does, so that might still might be an application. I like the HoH idea, but the teachers should fit the dorm, and I'm not sure who would fit Scarlet Fox. That and my being vice principal, art teacher, and HoH for Violet Wolf would be a bit much, even if I am the logical choice as art teacher.

And I just saw her appear in the main group...

--Silvy

1427853
Yeah, I noticed that too.

For what it's worth, Xeraphis would be perfect for HoH of Scarlet Fox in the reboot, as he'll basically be a king over a hive of changelings, instead of just a drone.

1427872

Alright. I had him pegged as Sapphire Owl as the science teacher. (And, oops, said the wrong dorm earlier. Corrected.

So, myself as art teacher for Violet Wolf, you as science teacher for Scarlet Fox, Ukiah's PE teacher for Green Lion, and Vengeful Spirit's math teacher for Sapphire Owl, perhaps?

--Silvy

1427909
Is that the actual name for his OC? Regardless, if no one else takes the claim I'm sure he'd be perfect for the job.

1427923

No, don't know the name for his OC, unfortunately. He was willing to be the math teacher, though.

Oh, and while I know you don't get along with him, the main other person in the main group that is interested in discussing the changes on the reboot, and is helping with locations is Ukiah. Maybe we should add him to this group? Having a dissenting voice can actually be helpful occasionally.

--Silvy

1427953
I see no problem with that, his opinions are worth something, after all.

1427970 So you do love me deep down! I always knew it.
1427909 If we were to do HoH. I'd suggest Ancient Times as the one for Sapphire Owl. He was prefect of it in his backstory. White Whisper could work for the HoH of Green Lion. But it would be noted he also attended Sapphire Owl.1427694 I think having Prefects picked by the staff. Or the HoH and Headmistress to make sense. It should be the student that best represents the ideals of their dorm.

1428079

Ancient Times as the one for Sapphire Owl

White Whisper could work for the HoH of Green Lion

You get one or the other. Choose.

1428079
I never said your opinions were worth anything to me, but I'm sure some of the peole here are interested in what you have to say.

1428079>>1428095

I was trying for a different player for each HoH, and to minimize conflicts of interest, though I suspect I'll still end up with one with Sweetie Belle. Green Lion, I had less choices available with then Sapphire Owl...

--Silvy

1428095 Ancient Times. I didn't like White Whisper as a HoH any way. Yes you do deep deep deep down in that trolling coal like heart.

1428109
I don't troll.

1428119 Exactly

1427909 Scribble would be in the dorm with a art class I think... I might just redo the form and find out.

1427694
Cute Scribble or Princesse Yndig Skissa

16 years old

Alicorn (Secretly just Vampony)

Snow White coat, bright crimson hair, and light blue eyes. One of her most significant traits is the lack of any vocal chords.

After the events of An Artist's Dream, Twilight accends to Alicornhood. When it is accidently revealed that Scribble had gained a horn through vamponization, Twilight lies and passes it off as her also being a Alicorn. Since she isn't a real Alicorn she has no Earth pony magic and is incredibly frail. Since she isn't a real pegacorn either, her horn is fueled by feeding on blood.

1427923>>1428128>>1428119>>1428288

1428336

While I'm not actually sorting yet, I would read this as Sapphire Owl, with a very close second in Scarlet Fox. Now, if you considered being a mute vampony alicorn who can create things by drawing them to be eccentric, Violet Fox might be more of a possibility...

--Silvy

1428338

I think I'll change the wording of the 'eccentric' question in fact, since it should include if you consider yourself eccentric, not just how others see you.

--Silvy

Well, that looks like fun.

Oh dear. Am I going to end up sorting all the admins characters first? Though I do suppose we need to properly test how well it works. You're missing the answer to one of the disagree/agree statements, though.

What are three of your key weaknesses? (Please use complete sentences.)
One would be death of a close friend, how could someone deal with that? Next would be if someone cut off my horn, not only would it hurt, but no more magic. And lastly, silence. I know it seems weird at first, but when you're in solitary confinement for about five or six years it becomes deafening

Would you consider yourself upper, middle, or lower class?
Was considered upper, but now I think I'm at least lower-middle.

Race: Zebra

Gender: Male

Physical Description: He's striped of course. His stripes are zig zaggy. Around his left eye is a jagged black circle. His eyes are a light pink. On his back are two bulging saddlepacks made out of weaved grass.

Bio: Both my parents died on my first birthday. I was then raised by my Grandparents. I learned many things during those 14 years. Since my Grandparents keep pushing me to be the very best. Sadly I soon realised that I had no friends. At first this didn't bother me. Why do I need friends when I'm a god? But Demer seeing my error. Told me of the story of Princess Twilight Sparkle. Hearing this I knew I would need to go make friends. So I then talked to one of my generals of my kingdom the Underworld. His name was Sebastian. He then told me of his wife college. He then got his wife to let me in. One problem remained my grandparents. My grandfather wanted me to continue as I had gone. My grandmother supported me. They soon came at an agreement. My grandfather than split me in half. One half into well me. Then the other into Sedah Kamaka. Because of this I lost my god status. I was then sent back into Ytic Dlareme. Luckly my parents were the rulers of Ytic Dlareme. So I became Prince. My older sister agreed to rule while I was gone. Bless her name Mystic Arbez or as that outsider calls her Mystic Stripes. My power hungry cousins sadly will try to take over the throne in my absence. But onward and upward I go to Weston College.

Well I have more than three weaknesses but here we go. Dark Magic is the biggest one. If I am hit with a very powerful dark magic spell. I'll die fairly quickly. I also have never really made any friends. So I find it hard to converse with other ponies. Which can interpret that I'm shy. My third one is more of a disability. But I'm blind. The separation caused me to become blind. It lets me see the world in a new perception though( Bada tss)

I am above upper class as royalty.

I bring fairly powerful magic, endless riches, and powerful allies.

I've come to learn more about how it is to be normal. Make friends and wonderful memories.

1428363 doesn't filling out a form in third person count as eccentric?

1428544
Whoops.
Fixed.
I like how you have them numbered now, that's convenient.

1428336
Scribble's sixteen? That's a bit awkward, especially since Wonder is twenty two...

1430028 wait WHAT?!?!

1430028 EXPLAIN!!! EEEEXXXPLLLAAAAIINNNN!!

1430069>>1430055
I've said that over and over again, it's on her original application, which I showed you...

1430086 *facehoof* sCRIBble ROBBER!

1430106
I dunno, I might make her younger, but I want her to be able to drink alcoholic beverages...

1430119 Scribble always looks two years older than she is, and you can make her 21 thus, 18(16) and 21, not that bad.

Well, I was hoping I wouldn't be the only one sorting people, since I'd like to know if this works for other people too. Also, keep in mind this isn't final, and I am not judging whether the character is allowed in at the moment.

1428459
Sweetie Belle - Violet Wolf
Silver Bell - Sapphire Owl
SB - Green Lion

1428524
Blue Flicker - Green Lion

And yes, I decided that the numbers would help out on this. The applications after the numbers are much easier to read.

1428738
Straightjacket - Violet Wolf

This marks the first time I've had to use the four sorted attributes...
1429459
Ukiah - Scarlet Fox

1429576
Compared to everything else I mentioned, it's normal. But I'm judging eccentricity by what you put for that item, not from what I can tell by the rest of the form.

And, as I mentioned earlier: Scribble - Sapphire Owl

I find it rather interesting that I've sorted two characters into each house except for Scarlet Fox. Seems promising.

--Silvy

1430141 What do mean "Sorted Attributes?"

1430131
Eh, I'll think about it, although, that brings into question why Scribble's parents were okay with their teenage being impregnated, let alone marrying the mare that did so.

1430149

The 'Sort the following in order from most important to least important' section. It's actually used as a tiebreaker.

--Silvy

1430141
I'll help if I can with dorm sorting, although I still have my own characters to worry about...

1430175
No problem. It might help if you just look at a few characters I already sorted without looking where I sorted, try sorting them yourself, and see if you get the same result. I just hope everyone realizes that I'm still expecting these applications again after the reboot.

And you may as well add your own characters to the list, since everyone else did.

--Silvy

1430156 they are very liberal?

...

The drinking age is stupid anyway! Weston College is a pseudo dimension! Why does it even follow other dimensions' drinking age?!

1430119>>1430347

The real question is why it would follow the drinking age in the United States. 18 is more common. And it's an imitation of a UK school, where it would be 18, 16 - 17 if you consume wine, beer, and cider with a meal, and younger if at home with the permission of a parent or guardian.

--Silvy

1430347
*shrugs*

I was given pretty much full permission to write the back story for the college, so I don't know. The college was once part of a dimension, but due to the escapades of a certain unnamed dorm the reality surrounding the college fell apart. I could change it though, or someone else can change it, but I'm not all too sure I want to see Scribble drunk... Or maybe I do and just don't know it yet...

1430405
Eh, then it'll most likely lower. The last time I even thought about drinking ages was when I was watching an episode of Castle, which was a while ago...

1427694
I think question six of the student application could use some rewording, in order to balance it out, as I'm beginning to notice not many students were appointed to Violet Wolf. If they're supposed to be the eccentrics of the school, how about a question involving unique hobbies or something?

1466754

That's one reason we were testing it. Well, that and everyone decided they wanted to know their characters dorms early. I did notice that that question still seemed problematic. Still not sure what to replace it with, though.

--Silvy

1427694((Should we post this at the main group?))

1535570
It isn't finished yet. We still need to make sure everything else we need from it is fair and balanced. That, and Silvy making a new application form brings into question what additions this one might need in order to balance things out.
