Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

On the note of the Grail Sacrament, if we do decide to pursue it, I don't think Spoiled Milk deserves something like that. Sure, she is a lousy pony and mother, but I think the Moth Sacrament would be enough of a karmic punishment for her, and that getting kidnapped and eaten (possibly alive)...
Still, it has been basically confirmed that Celestia's doom counter (assuming Selene can't find a way to slow it down) is at its worst case scenario of going off by Turn 25, so the fact that none of the currently suggested plans have much in the way of Sacrament progress (except maybe a Moth...
Though if it helps stall the Celestia doom counter (even if it's a small hope), it would be one of the most valuable things Selene can do, especially with how seemingly underleveled Velvet is right now.
Given both that Biedde cannot be befriended and that this lack of friendship is now known to cause issues, I would prefer just to either let his summoning lapse or sacrifice his Wake-form for a ritual (possibly for summoning a Maid or two) and hope that the Lionsmith Name (if they're still...

[x] You will not forgive him. But deep down, you do not resent him either.
At this phase, Steppes has basically started into the face of his own mortality, and has realized that both he as an individual pony and...
For this part in particular, I think Cadance going "too far" in accord to her Love powers would probably resemble something akin to when she accidently Love-bombed everypony while teleporting to Shining, which was so strong that it almost made Velvet forgive her father before it wore off.
Just a random thought I had; if we continued on the Cultist Path instead of forming the proto-Suppression Bureau, would Beyond Reproach eventually have become a Hunter for Velvet?
I thought the Fake Lantern Witch was Jade's ghost or something, given how critiquing the names of two fillies for being unimaginative seems more in-character for her than it does for Velvet.
[X] Turns out, she just needed you to take off your dress.
[X] Turns out, she just needed some happy company!
Mainly, even if Mareinette doesn't want to (personally) do anything to Cadance's child, I still don't trust her general mindset to be healthy for Cadance to be around for extended...
We could also do one of the Winter Sacrament actions. I'm not the biggest fan morally, but it's relatively simple and (depending how powerful Sacraments turn out to be) may be worth it.
