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.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.
Alright!
First of all, thank you so much for your patience. This was all written in a bit of a short notice, so I appreciate your understanding with the small things that piled up.
Also, I must say that it was really hard not to cram more Smiles into his update. This may very well be the last...
A/N-1: The voting for the previous threadmark (results from the Tall Tale assault) is still ongoing, and will continue even through/after this update.
A/N-2: But what about the second vote-heavy update? :V
You breathe in.
And you breathe out.
Breathe in.
And then out.
In.
Out.
…
This...
Whew! This update fought me for a while. Doubly so given how little time and energy I had until today.
Anyways, pings. One thing at a time.
In general:
I am actually quite happy with how the changeling lore turned out for the canon of this quest. And even if you don't have enough time to...
At some point, a thought crosses your mind.
It is a curious thing, to be under these… these weights, these blessings, these influences.
Because now more than ever you realize how aptly named they are.
And for all that this might be obvious in hindsight, you don't think you ever really noticed...
Hello there.
I hope you are all doing well! And again, pardon for my delay. The end of the year has been more work than expected!
But alas, all good things (waiting for an update) must end (an update is ready.
I just have a few more things to mention before that.
First.
I have not seen any...
Just a quick sign of life.
All is well. Work related "end of year" crunch period put a hamper on writing.
Next update is around half done and i hope to have it up by tomorrow. But unfortunately no promises. The dice roll heavy section usually takes a lot of time to process and write.
Hope you...
It was called the Conspiracy of Stars.
A fancy name, yes. But it was more out of symbolism than anything else, as it usually is with that kind of spooky stuff.
Still, it was called that because the stars... well, so many ponies forget that the stars are also part of the night sky.
Strange as it...
The crumbs. The "1" footnote referring back to itself. The pesky song of the intro that will not leave my head and our old yearning sponsors.
This was beautiful.
No, seriously. This was AWESOME! Thank you so, so much for making this for us!
I wanted to put this on the main threadmark (Edit: )...
Yes, and in fact-
-that is part of the reason why these words were instituted to begin with.
And a short comment on Edge Challenges. They are more than just a battle. I won't get into too much detail, because this is something I hope we have the opportunity to address in the story later on...
It's a bit of a compromise. But hear me out.
I try to veer into realism as much as possible, given that half the setting is literally a cartoon. And sometimes, I find myself trying to expose more CS-based elements because (very understandably) many of our votes take us towards more MLP-centric...
So, two things I wanted to say.
First of all, let me just remind everyone that if a character/monster rolls 100 in a combat roll, they wound the enemy combatant.
Just so people don't think Velvet is invincible. Blind luck is still accounted for in the mechanics.
Second, please don't assume...
@Cambrian you are definitely not insane.
And it has been happening for a while now. I had a similar concern a while back:
https://forum.questionablequesting.com/threads/guest-number-bug-ddos-concern.30242/
The "hopeful" explanation is that people form SV and SB who don't want to create a...
Alright, that's enough writing for today.
I'll address all previous pings later. And I have extended the moratorium to twenty-four hours, because I don't think I'll be able to catch up and answer questions within twelve hours, and I don't want the voting to start before people can get their...
