    Alright mate, you get a like.  It's well formatted and the premise is completely out of left field.  If you can keep this going, more power to you.

    >>1378114

    But then that would make the statement true as the qualification of "one of these statements is false" has been satisfied. In fact, it has been satisfied twice over by itself being false, thus making it true. Logically, the only statement that can be false is one of the four above it.

    Reply 

    >>1378126 It depends on your interpretation of the term. Strictly, "One of these statements is false" would imply "Exactly one of these statements is false." But if you more broadly define it as "At least one of these statements is false," then the possibility of the fifth being said statement brings forth a paradox (wherein the statement being false renders itself true, a simple liar paradox). Assuming the Novikov self-consistency principle, the probability of the broader definition being true is zero. Thus, the fifth statement may or may not be false, in which case the number of other statements in the description that are false may be equal to or exceed one.

    This does bring up an interesting question: the legend says that Nightmare Moon was created due to Luna being upset that ponies didn't like her night.  But with the things revealed here... what other causes were involved, either alongside or instead of the classical reason?

    I was actually expecting something more dark but this is much more entertaining.  Can't believe Rarity is insensitive enough about Twilight's feelings, Pinkie I can because she isn't the brightest mare around.  They need to think long term, if she becomes an Alicorn she get's eternal life.  And that is one hell I wouldn't wish on most.  Watch everyone you know grow old and die but unable too yourself.

    It's a common premise, and at first glance you're approaching it in a completely straightforward manner.

    But I think it's a manner that's never actually been done before, at least as far as I'm aware. Twilight's going into this with her eyes open and totally reluctantly, and all of her friends also know what's going on and their reactions are all over the map. Glorious. :)

    "She levitated it front of her, twisting it around to examine every surface."

    should be

    "She levitated it in front of her, twisting it around to examine every surface."

    "The closest she had ever come was reading a letter from the ancient unicorn to Princess Platinum through an inch of glass in the Canterlot Museum of Magic, the only public display of Clover's original handwriting. She had felt elated when she saw that simple letter, now she was stunned into silence to have a complete book by Clover the Clever, written in her own hand."

    Shouldn't that be hornwriting and horn?

    "Finally Twilight, her curiosity betting the better of her, lifted the scroll  and unfurled it."

    should be

    "Finally Twilight, her curiosity getting the better of her, lifted the scroll and unfurled it."

    There is also an extra space between the words "scroll" and "and" too.

    Aside from those errors here.

    Reminds me of Field Notes on Alicorn Reproductive Behavior, although I suppose if one reads enough Pony it all blends together after a while.
