This story has came so far. Still Following since Day 1. You always keep me reading! Love your stuff man.
Those author notes worry me...
I fear no man... but that author note, it scares me.
That scares me......... Final recorded document? Scary......
Although this also might mean that it's just no longer a journal............
But it scares me nonetheless.
4634467 Already starting to scare you? Looks like what I have in store is going to do its job right after all.
Please post the next chapter soon, I loved this one. Plus I would probably react the same way as James did when he met Discord.
Oh great, now this motherfucking chaotic asshole is back for round two.
And why James? Why are you so ignorant in the face of chaos itself? I really don't care if he's a fucking joker. Discord is still a goddamn jackass! Besides I blame him for some unknown reason, maybe he is responsible for our races problem for waging war on deluded asshole reasons that doesn't make much differences to the cause, they just want something to shoot and kill.
Now that I think about it, me and Discord are very different in so many ways.
you're going to give us heavy feels in the next chapter arent you?
-already has an idea of what's going to happen-

I know what you mean. I hope this isn't the end. That would drive me crazy.
The only thing i got this whole capter in minde.: Come to the Dark-Side. We have sweets.
I dunno if I shuld hope that this "turn gray" shuld happend. But it will sure be cool to read.
Just do you thing. Can't wait to see the next capter. ;-D
4635326 You do know that there is more than just a white and gray side, right?
4635419 yup, but i don't like were the last one will lead. QQ
4480115 I don't know about you, but I would much rather spend time with a timid, polite, likeable nice guy than a brave, abrasive, unlikeable douchebag.
Well, they were correct, his armor keeps him safe from Discord's magic....But its only a matter of time before he finds a loophole however oblique to get around it, still I am enjoying the direction this is going immensely. And have a Happy 4th tomorrow as well
Tension is building... if James' friends end up being tricked again... oh gosh, I can't imagine the horror of James' wrath from what Nightmare Moon has told from her experience.
I don't believe his gem would turn black in the defense of Equestria and his friends... but why do I have the feeling Discord is targeting James? He may very well be stalling his friends to buy himself enough time to screw with James.
Anyway, there's my feeling of this chapter. For the story itself, it's just as tense as it was watching the show with Discord. Excellent work.
James hasnt been round gamers all that much has he, or his reaction wouldve been, play the game, wont use his advantages, until he decides the game is no longer the game agreed, therefore he is no longer using his abilities in teh agreed on game, but in the game or non game he then decides what the rules are.
After all, thats what Discords doing, so knowing the rules gives equal use.
4639553 That, or he gets bored.
James seems rather dense this go-around. If my lover and best friends told me that the funny clown doing tricks had done bad things to them and wrecked the planet, I'd stop laughing and try to put a bullet in him. C'mon James, get it together. Friends before strangers.
Especially when those strangers do things like removing limbs for 'fun'. It's almost like he turned 4/6 of the girls into parapalegics just for his game, against their wishes. Not to mention that chaos is... chaotic. One minute it can be silly and funny, the next it can be a bloodbath. Get your head in the game, boy!
4640646 How many times he's been raped? Now that just sounds forced. Far too many HiE stories have the main character have an absurdly tragic backstory. Unless its a self-insert being completely honest about their life, it's a cliche a lot of readers are sick of and sounds more like an excuse for the character to act like that. And it annoys the hell out of me that stories like this where the protagonist is an unrealistic 'badass' receive more praise and attention than stories where the protagonist is much closer to an actual relatable person. It's a trend that really needs to change.
What is more, people who have been raped as many times as him (which I am going to assume is dozens upon dozens of times) rarely turn out to be 'badasses' and often become sociopaths unless they receive extensive therapy. I have not read the story and have no desire to, but from what I can guess and have seen from tiny glimpses, he likely has not received any if not very little. Along with his background being incredibly cliched by MLP fandom standards, his character seems a bit far fetched for a victim of multiple counts of rape. Definitely an overrated character.
If you like that story, fine. I can't tell you what to like. But don't come to me about it because I really don't like it and that tragic backstory cliche in these stories makes me roll my eyes. I honestly would have expected better from the longest and most popular HiE story on the site.
...huh. I think I just discovered something I hate about some HiE fics.
*EDIT July 27th 2015*
I just now came back to this comment you made after learning a bit more about that story and I can say this now. Navarone is not a badass by any means. He's a joke.
Want to know how I know? From the way you describe him, he sounds like he's been raped hundreds of times. So he has the right to act the way he does? Uh... No. Last I checked, the way he should be acting is someone who is emotionally and psychologically crippled without being able to function in society at all. In other words, judging by the context of his past, he's not even remotely acting the way he should and that AI in his head isn't enough to warrant looking the other way. A close friend of mine who is heavily pregnant with twins has been struggling with deep-seated depression and very nearly killed herself with a pistol to the head when she found out she is pregnant after being gang raped ONCE. Not hundreds of times. Once. So the fact that she is still able to function at all makes her a badass too after only being raped once, huh?
The author of this story severely abuses the "damaged hero" trope to the point of absurdity. I doubt he even does research on the effects of rape on the mind, let alone hundreds of accounts of rape. Furthermore, the story has really gone downhill with Navarone's descent into an unlikeable prick probably not doing the story any favors. The author really seems to struggle with pacing himself as well, filling the chapters with needless filler just to make it longer as if a million and a half words in only 2 years wasn't any indication. If you can't do a backstory like that with grace and tact, you might as well not bother unless you heavily tone down the trauma. Diaries of a Madman is a mess and far overrated, mostly just because of that one inconsistent character.
Never tell me Navarone is a badass again because he most definitely is not. He just might be my most hated HiE protagonist on the internet. The only thing he is is absurd.
Final Recorded Document?!? is this the end of his journal? impossible! I know there's more! c'mon. what's next?!?
4640785 Yes, I think I will revise this chapter when I get around to proofreading it. I was especially excited to finally start on this chapter and skipped working on the next chapter of my novel to get it out to you guys. That was probably a bad idea since I did not allow myself to rest and may have burned myself out. I will analyze my actions in this chapter to make certain I was keeping in character and make changes where needed.
Great chapter, man! I really like the portrayal of Discord, it's very typical- but in a good way. He seems very much like his show depiction, and meets the trickster guideline.
I wonder what happens next?
4644720 I don't recall ever saying he was a pony.
I stand by what I said. He is a character built upon an overdone frowned upon cliche.
I will leave it at that. I will not be continuing this discussion. If you like the story, go ahead and continue enjoying it. But please respect that I do not care for it and we are both entitled to our personal views.
4644720 My apologies, I did not notice that you were replying to a different comment than the one I thought you were. I would address your words, but this comment from a while back explains things far better than I can.
4646260 Hate to break it to you, sergeant, but not everyone mourns or reacts the same way.
Ready for some violence and drama to ensue.
Please don't let this be the end!
This is what happened last night.
Discord also says that the next clue is "the difference between then and now"
The strange table is replaced by a Golden Oak Tree( it means the Golden Oaks Library).
DisQord was reenacting a scene from "Deja Q"
I Hope Discord also puts this on James's 3DS and says "These are my plans for Sunnytown"
4666624 You don't notice replies to your comments very often, do you?
4666320 I'm honestly surprised that you're still reading this story when you dislike it so much. If I was reading a story that rubbed me the wrong way, I would close the tab and never go back.
4665987 You forgot one. At 2:15, to be precise.

Its called trying to be fair and actually give a story another chance. I literally tried, from the beginning, to read through the story to have a better grasp of it and and sad to say that it seems not much has changed.
Side stepping my questions is bad enough, without going into "if you don't like, don't read" from you. But if you wanna go down that road, fine. I'll leave you to whatever makes you happy and leave.
4667024 I apologize that my story does not entertain you, although it would be foolish of me to try to please everyone. Thank you for giving it a chance though.
And sidestepping your questions? I'm actually choosing to not address them and merely keep you guessing about the future. I do have a sequel planned, after all.
Dude, I didn't know you were back on FiMFiction! Anyways, awesome as usual. And I probably would've acted the same way with no prior knowledge of Discord. Dude's a big ham!
Wonderful chapter! More great work as usual. My derivative fic is coming along, somewhat, but I'm not sure how long it'll take. I'll let you know, but it's probably not gonna be longer than a few chapters due to how much stuff I have going on. You going to BronyCon?
ummmm...
Cross our hearts, hope to die, stick a cupcake in our eyes.
I kind of I thought it was originally "hope to fly" ... I dunno, but hoping for my death feels kind of... depressing...
Chocolate raaaaaaiiiiiinnnnnnmn
Nt what I woulda said xD
I'm a little disapointed with Discord and the mane six in this. Discord is repeating what he has done the last time he escaped. He's the spirit of chaos Discord is suppose to be unpredictable yet he became completely predictable by repeating his last plan. Not only that but the mane six fall for the exact same traps as last time you would think they would have predicted his move since he does the exact same thing as last time.
Twilight is a damned glutton for punishment when it comes to this. She goes for the maze thing all over again when the answer was staring her right in the face. This is probably one of the weakest setups I've ever seen.
Uh oh, here we go again!
Uh... Last recorded entry? What's that mean?
Discord... Seriously? It's not like you to try the same trick twice, considering you are chaos incarnate.
I am loving this story! I just hope it didn't become a habit to replay events that already happened in this story (example: Discord having already broken free and resealed by the Mane Six, but then breaking free again and repeating the events of season 2 episode 1) the near exact same way with different dialogue.
This chapter would honestly make more sense if this was the first time he broke free, not the second.
On to the next chapter!
Not liking that authors note, gives me uneasy vibes.

Come to think of it, I probably should remove that. It’s a bit meaningless now.
