I've seen those Pony-SCII unit portraits. Was searching for pictures of the Battlecruiser and found the Rarity one.


Also, my Brony friend showed me this a long time ago. I wasn't familiar with the SC2 storyline back then but now that I am I realize how utterly perfect it is.

I can already tell this is going to be a roller coaster ride of disappointment.

Play...
Learn...
Shine...
Love...
Race...
Strive...
*random PMVs here*
Also, this... At first, I thought it was just a pretty cool PMV, but after going back to watch the first two episodes, the whole thing actually ties in really well with the song.
Also, 42 = friendship

EDIT:
*fixed 42 for hopefully bigger img*

Seems like even with warning and all you still can't stop spamming crap like that.

Warning?  If those links were in-line pictures instead, then yea, but was there a warning against a bunch of links?

On the other hand, there have been warnings against being uncivil.  This is another one, and I'm not planning to issue more.

That said, if we can settle down on filling swimming pools full of ponies (links included), that would be a suitable courtesy to the blood pressure of folks like junker154 :)

What I'm wondering is... If you're that set against ponies, why do you even read this particular thread, knowing it has ponies in it?

Because it is a fairly interesting topic, seeing how posters react, reading the arguments. Feeling the hostile atmosphere in this thread. How people try to be objective or either defend a side.

Fights and discussions make things for more entertaining. It is just that it is simply redundant to post all this. If you have to ban me so be it, but I really like this forum because it has good posters and this game is great. Feel free to remove me to keep the quality of this forum at a maximum and get rid of all the bad posters.

I'd really rather not have to ban anyone, or do anything moderator-like.  This forum is very nicely self-moderating for the most part, and aside from obvious spammers and occasional reminders about language I think I've only had 2 or 3 cases in the last 2 years where I've actually had to pick up the hammer (and not always use it).  The hammer cannot create a community like this, it can only defend it, and even that only if used very, very carefully.

I can understand the interest in seeing how people react to hostility.  I've been fascinated at how different people handle themselves at conflicting demonstrations at a parade, for example.  But taking bitter shots at one another here just makes a lot of customers uncomfortable, and we don't want that to happen.

Junker, you seem a bit like me, liking to sit and munch popcorn while people have their arguments.

I tend to bait the pony thread on the BattleLog forums for Battlefield because there is almost always one guy who blows a gasket. Sadly, most of the regulars are used to me now, so it's hard to bait without everyone just going ohyou
