//------------------------------// // Speculator7 // Story: Equestrian Fanfiction // by Lise //------------------------------// Aww, mare! I totally forgot about Lyra's birthday! :( Argh! Sorry, girl. Promise I'll make it up to you. Just give me till the weekend okay? @LyraHands: Wait! You have the weekend free, right? HopHop @HopHop: Now she does :P DaBoss @DaBoss: Aww! Why can't I gave a boss like you? :) Doughnuts sometime? We can even drag @CodeFilly out of her lair. HopHop @all: So sorry for vanishing like that :( Had some very urgent work and had to deal with it. Thankfully, it's all over now and everypony's alright, so I'll get back to reading, writing, and approving. @LyraHands: Happy birthday. Best wishes and a glorious future! Sorry I couldn't say that in person, but I'll be passing by today (and have an encyclopedia with your name on it :)) Everything you need to know (or can) about human myths! It's a bit bulky, but really, really, really good and in depth! DarkSparkle @HopHop: That would be great! :) DaBoss @DarkSparkle: That's not the way you give presents, doofus! :P They are supposed to be a surprise! LightSparkle Did somepony say surprise?!? *gasp* I missed a surprise?!?!?!?!? :( Well, I have to compensate by tripling the surprise and have a surprise-for-the-missed-birthday-party-surprise party! Everypony's invited! Then we have a second party in which every Nightling's invited! PPI Aww :( I'll be in the Crystal Empire for a few days so will miss it. @LyraHands: A fluffy happy birthday! Check your PM for your gift ;) Brush @DarkSparkle: You silly. :D Wanna join? I know you love doughnuts. ;) HopHop @all: I thought we agreed you'd only make me cry on my birthday, not for a whole week! Bob is starting to make fun of me! @HopHop: Apparently, I am. You thinking of visiting? :) @DaBoss: I feel guilty :( Also very scared about you and Hop meeting... @DarkSparkle: :D Looking towards to it. @PPI: No! The neighbors will kick us out! @Brush: ... at first I was going to make a snarky comment about you being busy, but then I saw the link... You wrote that for me? I read it the moment you posted it, but never imagined that... You're the best, Brush! *hugs* LyraHands Did you know that the MC always consists of 7 writers, not counting the S.Child? The practice was established with the first reboot, known better as Volume 3, Mistmount Chronicles, or codename Project Phoenix. Before that S.Child wrote all stories with the help of a 3-pony editing team (currently retired). In order to be eligible for a position (the number being chosen based on the days of the week, for an unknown reason) one has to answer to certain criteria, and have the support for no less than three current writers. The final choice rests with S.Child, who then invites the next member once there's an opening. At present, the writing team consists of 5 younglings and 2 older writers (which was the original reason for the creation of Everhere). More facts as they appear. Speculator7 What the hay?! Is this for real? @Speculator7: How do you know that? PrinceEric @PrinceEric: Because he's S.Child! Dun dun duuuuun! :P DannyFan I am not nor have I ever claimed to be S.Child. Speculator7 @PrinceEric: He's just a troll. Like CEOWitch. :P RRBB @RRBB: I heard that! :/ Not my fault I'm constantly sent out to rescue ponies night and day. And if you must know I happened to be assisting Brush and Dark in a matter (and keeping a nameless egomaniac out of trouble) Also, I can confirm that the writing team was indeed 7 when I was involved, not counting advisors, character models, managers, PR, etc. @InItForTheShipping: Great idea! Always loved the Empire, and @Fleetfoot is a star there. :P CEOWitch @CEOWitch: You'll get in trouble again. Keep in mind your good looks can't save you forever ;) And I'm already working on logistics for EverCon. This will be something big, so will take months of planning. (And you just volunteered to help out.) Luna @CEOWitch: And if you don't... it's to the moooooon! TheRealLuna @TheRealLuna: You've been quite evil lately, my other half. What's wrong? Luna Nothing. Just annoyed at things. Hope to make it for the con. TheRealLuna @Luna: I guess you'd want me to model or something, right? Not that I want to... :P Sorry, I couldn't resist. This place has infected me. I blame CEO and Flame. (And my favorite authors, of course.) Fleetfoot Everypony, Speculator might actually be for real. Trying to track down her/his aether signature got me totally stumped. Either it's the best protection ever or is from another realm. Mysterious! Joking aside, if it's a troll, it's a very dedicated one. Went through three aether walls before I lost the trace. MightyDragon Oligosaccharide, did you use the a-net root trace? It's a bit fiddly, but the results are far better. CodeFilly @Code: Not to argue with my future wife, but root trace is crap! It returns so much aether info I might as well get the gateway connect log. I used select connect a-net element, of course. MightyDragon "Oligosaccharide"? Snrk! :) RRBB @MightyDragon: But select is so limiting. You can refine root with a timestamp range, then add a filter for mana deterioration. Select is really bad when it comes to deteriorating error, that's why it's almost impossible to follow after an aetherwall. (Am impressed that you did, though :)) CodeFilly @CodeFilly: That's me—mega impressive! Next time you see my boss can you tell him that? :) MightyDragon @MightyDragon: I'll tell him :). Though you really should use aether source compare. That and root should get you what you need. Real or not, Speculator is amusing :) DarkSparkle Argh! Enough with the geek squad! You make me feel depressed! (And I've yet to pass my magic exam. Why am I so bad with computers :(( ) LyraHands This thread has been licked. Speculator7 It has now. LyraHands
