The ponies of Appleloosa have been given a twist to the game of horseshoes where it now features color-coded shoes that give out more points depending on their color and which color you throw is determined by the result of your last throw. Can anypony get the new highest possible score?
This story is the first part of the series Autumn Apple - The Show. Autumn Apple is one of my pony OCs who appears in this story. Full series table of contents:
1. Perfect Game - complete

Will be updated as series continues!

I'm a little surprised there isn't a slice of life tag. Why isn't there one?

Now that you've said that, I do think there should be one. Thanks for the feedback.
I guess that when I think "Slice of Life", I tend to think of things outside of work. And since sports are often a thing that is done as a profession, and because this story is about sports, I saw it as not Slice of Life. But I think I will add it now.
I think it's also because I find Slice of Life to be an extremely broad tag that has a hard time really giving a hint of what the story is like, due to its high use. Like, if almost every story has the tag, then what's the point? What does it mean?
One could actually get 87 (1-9 are gold ringers while the last is the stake)

Oh yeah! You're totally right.
I'm not very good with math, so I was thinking there were mistakes in this story that I missed. Thanks for pointing this out!

Thanks so much!
The story, the chapter, or your comment? Or something else?
interesting start
loved it. Though I admit, it's tricky to understand the plot

Thanks!
How exactly is the plot tricky to understand? I'd like to know so I can improve on this in future stories.

You're welcome! How should i say, the first chapter describes a name game that everypony is interested it. And the next chapters describe planning it and Autumn trying to win? I am jut unsure if I get its right
10800229
Yes, that is what happens. The story begins by emphasizing how iconic the game is, then Shoeshine introduces new rules, shows them to a bunch of ponies, it explodes in popularity, the official adoption happens, ponies start wanting to get a perfect game, a competition is introduced for that.
Did the story not explain things well enough, perhaps?
10800238
I think it did well. It was just for me, the casual talk in most chapters made it a but tricky to understand where the plot is
10800241
Okay. How can I fix that in future stories?
10800246
Well, I am not sure, as I am not an expert on this. It just made me unsure about what exactly the plot is supposed to be
10800251
Okay. Well, thanks for the feedback!
