Aww! Thank you, thank you!
I never expected to reach second place in a serious contest such as this! When I saw the results, I was like “Wow! This can't be happening, but it's happening, because, if it wasn't happening why did I get a PM? So it must be happening!”
I'm, really, really, really, really, really happy about this! Gummy, you should have won the award. I couldn't have done it without you. Thank you, thank you so much!
@Jade: I see what you did there *grin*
PPI
Huh? What's this all about? Sorry if I'm a bit distracted. Dealing with family issues again :/
What contest was that? Where can I get a link to check it out?
Huge congrats, PPI :) I didn't know you posted on the site :D
LyraHands
Hmm. Hmmmm. @PPI are you sure about this? I usually go through all the threads and I can't find anything about a constant. Also, I can't find anything published by you. Did you use an alt account?
@The TechNightling: is there a big in the search engine? I can't find some other things either. Danny Saga doesn't show up (and I know it's still here, since I follow it). Are you doing mother code update?
@Jade: What did you do?
MixaMax
@PPI, @MixaMax: I have no idea what you're talking about. I've barely been active here with my exams nearing. Are you sure you don't mean MasterOfThisAstra?
Jade
@InItForTheShipping: You did a contest without telling me? :( I said I'm sorry okay? It's not like we haven't discussed similar things before. I just got carried away. And you have to admit it is a rather interesting question. Someone should go through all existing records and find first hoof accounts of events.
Actually, I'm thinking of asking to go on a diplomatic mission to establish relations with the centaurs. I'm sure there have to be some left (it would be unthinkable if Tirek was the last one). What do you think? It's a good idea, right?
DarkSparkle
Huh? Did PPI just pull a… PPI? Now I'll keep wondering what contest will pop up and who will win it (since PPI only for second place).
@InItForTheShipping: You're organizing something, right? another shipping thing?
RRBB
Girls! Girls! I just heard that premier copies of the next Chosen will be out in two days! Mare, I wish I could get my wings on one of those. @Luna: any chance I could buy one from you directly?
I’m really looking forward to this. I have so many questions. Do you all think it's possible that all the gr8 are gods in some way? I mean Omni was and we know Blazen has an unclear past, so why not everyone else? :)
PrinceEric
@RRBB: This time I'll try to send in a submission! I mean it! :D
I just hope the contest is something romantic (yes, I know, it's not very coltish, but I can't help myself.) And if my fat sister is reading this, there's nothing wrong in a lady thinking highly of romance! Right, ForceFeedback?
SweetStuff
What are you all talking about? There's no contest planned for the next month! I really don't know where all do this came from, but really there's nothing scheduled. At least not from me. Maybe @Luna has decided to organize something?
@DarkSparkle: I'm not mad at you, I've just been very busy lately :( Hubby is sick and I have to take care of him. Stallions are really no fun when they aren't well. Thank the stars it's nothing serious. He just needs lots of rest and relaxation, and no playing soldier for few weeks (which is the difficult part).
Also, I'm not sure about your centaur idea…
InItForTheShipping
Pfft.
Discord was fifth, silly :)
PPI
@PPI: I really don't know how you do it. Then again, I've stopped asking questions when you're concerned. Out of curiosity who won first place? Was it Discord?
LightSparkle
@PrinceEric: Don't worry, I’ll lend you a copy, it's not I need two anyway :)
And it's clear that Brush won first place. Must you even ask?
CEOWitch
There's something fishy going on here :/ A contest that nopony has heard of, a mysterious winner. This sounds scarily close to time travel magic. I have my suspicious, but I really hope I'm wrong. Using temporal spells to win a contest is just…wrong!
@DarkSparkle: I thought the scrolls were locked after last time.
TrueSparkle
@MixaMax: there are no code updates scheduled. Danny Saga was added before the system was in effect so the search ignored it. It's all taken care of now.
As for PPI, she has no alternative accounts and no stories to her name, although she has read a significant amount of what’s been posted.
The TechNightling
This is too strange. I can't stop thinking who might have won, I guess it could be Brush, but then again, Short&Hoofy writes exceptionally. We know for a fact that it isn't Jade, and Simile posted she'd be putting her stories on hiatus. @LightSparkle, did you pull a fast one on us? :)
RRBB
@RRBB: maybe it's somepony new who hasn't joined yet?
PaintDrop
@PaintDrop: Like your mythical coltfriend? :P (sorry, I couldn't resist).
You have to admit, though, this makes for a great story! Someone puts an add on the first page of a newspaper thanking everypony for their support, as she won second place in some nonexistent contest. Everypony starts wondering what that contest is and start asking around only to find no one knows anything. Everyday life suddenly changes with new theories appearing every day as to what the contest is about and who won first place. At one point, somepony gets tired of the constant speculations and organizes the contest in secret. Naturally, everypony joins in hoping they would be the winner. I'm the end it turns out that the brother of the pony organized the contest, who just returned from years abroad, tried out and won. Oh, and possibly got engaged to the pony who wrote the add in the newspaper (thanks to the contest).
Wow, @Short&Hoofy, write this, please!
RRBB
Actually, it's all a joke, you sillies! :D
Gotcha!
PPI
…now I can't be sure if there actually will be a contest or PPI just trolled us… -.-
LyraHands
Well, there's one way to resolve this.
My darlings, I'm organizing a contest focusing on the relations between humans and their pets. I'd be ever so grateful if you keep your stories clean and classy :)
Deadline is one week from now.
Grace
I've no idea what happened, but if Grace ends up marrying as a result, I’m taking MixaMax away from Ponyville!
Jade
Pinkie Pie... I agree with Lyra. So confused!
Typos:
big > bug
my fat system [?]
add > ad [x2]
PPI pulled a great joke on everypony which is rather like her. Is Discord active on the site? I wonder if it is even possible to to get an aethernet connection in his dimension.
Did Sweetie Belle just call Rarity fat?
Good prank PPI.
DarkSparkle making an ambassadorial trip to the Centaur lands (while clearly planning to land herself a centaur stallion) is such an awesome idea, it sounds like it would be worth a side-fic like the Meetups were. Imagine if somehow one of the centaurs was a Nightling?
Pinkie Pie is the ultimate prankster. She has fooled both the characters and the reader!

my fat system > my fat sister

Why would Rarity not think highly of romance?
8250474
just makes sense given the rest of the sentence, Sweetie Belle is referring to a pony here and system is two letter substitutions away from sister. As for why Rarity is or isn't against romance (that could just be Sweetie's projection or something regarding Rarity disapproving of her having a coltfriend) that's for Lise to explain or show if it comes down to it
Good one once again, Lise. It was a prank? Then PPI is self aware?!! And the prank was a self full-filling prophecy?!!! That just leaves one thing... was the confirmation that Discord has an account just part of the prank?! (whine, wimper.... )
Lise and PPI, the OTP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a self-fulfilling prophecy!
8250471
could be denial, Rainbow doesn't always like admitting when she's wrong, especially; I imagine, for a work that she's proud of
What the BUCK did I just read?! O.O
