just a simple idea that may branch out. · 2:01am Dec 24th, 2012
Friendship is Optimal: Endgame.
The Tan colt ran across rooftops, his brown mane flickering in the wind.
his blue eyes trained on the far blue policebox that was his exit. a exit in a world that hated his very being.
he heard the wings of the guardponys before seeing them.
the wind cut and twirled around him as the two gold armored white pegasai landed in front of him
"HALT CRIMINAL SCUM!" they both said before lowering their spears at the onrushing stallion.
he grinned and ran up some builders bricks, then lept onto the chimney, then leaped over and behind the two pegasai.
"Sorry, love to chat but i have a deadline." the tan colt said
"Time turner, why is it you resist?" came the familiar voice of one Princess Celestia.
"because.. i dont like what you have done to my world.. and i am not Time turner, i am not part of your little pony virus... i am the Cure.. no.. i am The Doctor."
and with that the stallion lept into the blue police box. the doors shut swiftly as soon as his tail passed through.

Friendship is Optimal:
Endgame
-------------------------------------
John smith sat up in his Virtu-chair. he glanced out the barred up window of his small apartment, and looked out at the wasteland that was once a capital of... which state?
john shook his head, it did not matter, states, countrys... citys.. all fell to that... that thing.
he sighed and thought back on what had happened over the last... 17 years? or longer.. time felt wierd now. but no matter.
it started when some game company.. Hofvarpnir studios, designed the first ever game to pass the turing test. they did it with a simple AI designed after a base phenomina that was spreading around the world at the time.. My little pony: Friendship is magic.
the AI was designed after Celestia, the almighty princess of equestria. they bragged on how she was the smartest AI in existance.. and how no one could copy her.
that however sent out the call to any programmer in existance.. many duplicates were made.. but all failed that vital test.
and thats when the Hackers were called in.
John was one such soul. he spent years looking at the constant streaming code that crossed from each equestrian experence sight to the main hard drive... wherever it was.
(so.. yeah.. this is an idea that is bouncing around in my skull at the moment.. not sure if i will write it down. if i do i need a editor.. but cross that bridge when i get to it.
hoped you enjoyed this little blurb. )
I will admit, my very first response was, "Sun and Moon above, NO!"
Then I read the bit after the title.
All in all, it sounds very interesting. Looking at the issues at hand through the eyes of someone who has not (only) a moral, but a material reason to object would be an interesting point of view through which to approach the matter.
Just one word of warning: Celest-a.i. can be quite a difficult character to write. My advice would be, write any scene featuring her, let it lay for a day, read what you wrote, and improve it. Repeat for three or four days at least, since you have to keep in mind that she doesn't just think a few moves ahead in any game she plays; she has the entire game laid out from start to finish, before anyone makes a move.

might be a good plan.. if i ever write it.
