Dumpshock Forums _ Shadowrun _ My ShadowPony
Posted by: Sendaz Sep 13 2013, 01:53 PM
*hangs head* Not sure where to post this, but my mind is reeling and I am wandering the digital landscape in shock... My son has discovered the Horrors of MLP (and he likes it). Saints save me...
I must beat the brony out of him... before the rest of my family is corrupted...
All that is left is Fire...
Seems FastJack's electronic woe's are not the only mentally unbalancing forces creeping around.
With rumours of an http://cheezburger.com/7745970432 it seems even SR isn't safe.
Rather than close our eyes, we must face this issue.
Who are the ShadowPonies among us and what exactly do they do with the CyberSpurs?

We are Legion.
And we usually try to keep Pony Content to this Thread as to not disturb the Peace and Quiet on these Forums

It is an insidious force for subversion.
I am laying the groundwork for a fierce conflagration; a blaze so hot that even the ground will melt (the Thermite is aging as we speak)... sadly, there is no other way (unfortunately, it will have to wait until the rains and flooding have passed on... I do not think that even fuel soaked beams will burn in this weather). If I had a nuke (or a Thor Shot), orbital bombardment would be my option. But it is too late; I believe that the infection has spread well beyond total containment. At least fire will cleanse the infection running rampant through my house.
As for the utility of Cyberspurs... I got nothing.

Don't make me post Pony-Content here.
We have the Rainnuke, the Orbital Friendship Cannon and the Ground Zero Group-Hug at our Disposal after all!

Cartoon for little Girls, right.
For Hoof to Hand Combat we have the Twiligatling.

Apparently not just for little girls.
Twiligatling?

Twiligatling?
You asked for it:

I can see cyberlimbs for a Shadowpony being essential (granted only as cyberlegs) as to use any sort of firearms, they would have them mounted into the front two cyberlegs.
Firing would involve raising the limb in question, with the cybergun popping out along the knee to fire.
Shock Frill Mane and Tail could also be a thing.
The twilgatling appears to be either an energy based weapon or mystical, though I am trying not to think too much into either.

She's a Unicorn.
She could eviscerate Enemies with the Horn, but they are the more practical Magical Race, as opposed to the Mundane Eartheners and the Less Magical Pegasi.
It's a MAGICAL GATLING GUN!
Also, i'd get a Horse-Sized-Cyber-Torso and have on the Back a 360°x270° Firing Radius Weapon-Mount.
Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
Posted by: Sendaz Sep 13 2013, 02:52 PM
Giving the body shapes and probably good movement rates, I assume there are no vehicle riggers (everyone would just run/fly to wherever) though drones may be an option.
Hmm.. wonder if a ShadowPony Decker Unicorn utilizes the horn as a means of connecting to a jackpoint...... Or if there are TM Unicorn for that matter.
This bears further investigation....

I suppose I can chime in here as another ShadowPony.
Now I'm gonna have to figure out stats for the pony races just so I can make a technomancer unicorn or else the idea just won't leave my head...
Posted by: Stahlseele Sep 13 2013, 04:29 PM
Well, Pegasi probably simply Elf stats.
And Unicorns simply dorf Stats for the Willpower for Magics.
Human, Ork and Troll can go to Eartheners.
Orrr . .
SR HAS STATS for Pegasus and Unicorn.
And Troll-Sized Horses as well . .

I think CanRay might be borderline.
Posted by: Sendaz Sep 13 2013, 05:31 PM
I must admit I am not entirely sold on them.... long ill history with carnivorous unicorns has rendered oneself less vulnerable to their charms.
I do wonder how http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvXtRVifAXE&feature=c4-overview-vl&list=PL2DcNkn8HAwRFYfGNhXCxdT5WlL_Wg2TS fits into that grand scheme of things.
So good to see DocWagon and CrashCart are still in good han--err.. hooves.

It is perfectly reasonable to be amused by the things the fans do without becoming a fan yourself.
It's like watching a train wreck.
Posted by: Stahlseele Sep 13 2013, 07:06 PM
The only Fanwork there was the writing.
The Scene of one pink pony firing a lavender magical pony like a gatling gun at something is 100% copy pasta from the series proper.
Posted by: Tymeaus Jalynsfein Sep 13 2013, 07:18 PM

True... But it is insidious.
My son is already hard at work trying to con me into watching it with him. And my wife has already succumbed.
I shall stand resolute...
Posted by: Stahlseele Sep 13 2013, 07:19 PM
Have you watched some of the Fanimation?
It's glorious and you won't be able to spot the difference to official one in some cases.

I've seen various things, one was...very odd. Living sacrifice of Twilight kind of weird (then a sequel where they attempt to resurrect her).
Posted by: Stahlseele Sep 13 2013, 07:25 PM
Twilight?
Not Rainbow Dash?
I remember a series of Ren and Stimpy like Animation that was . . VERY odd . .
But in terms of animation quality, i'd steer you towards different sources O.o

Could've been. It's been a while.

I'm a ShadowBrony as well, plus the majority of my group is too. Granted, I have two females in my group, so that tips the odds...

Vinyl Scratch would totally be a hacker, walking along, bending the wireless world to her will. Octavia would be a technomancer, naturally. Science and art, bass and harmony. Wubwubwub and classical.
Twilight is, of course, a magician's magician, Rarity is a Social Adept, Applejack and Rainbow Dash are PhysAds, Pinkie Pie is a Mystic Adept, and Fluttershy in an unaugmented mundane, possibly a latent awakening, who's been caught up in the whirlwind.
Derpy Hooves has the negative qualities Bad Luck and Gremlins 3.
Princesses Celestia and Luna are Immortal Elves, sisters who clashed in the past. Luna lost and was banished to a metaplane, and has recently returned.
Big Mac is a Formoian Troll metavariant - all the strength and stamina, but didn't get clobbered over the head with the ugly stick.
Doctor Whooves is, of course, The Doctor. He has a sonic screwdriver that is immediate and perfect trump card against any and all of your eletronic defenses or hardware security except a "deadlock seal," whatever that is. He has increased stamina due a bicardiac biology and a blue box that can go anywhere and anywhen. 
Posted by: Stahlseele Sep 13 2013, 09:41 PM
in terms of pure quality of fan made stuff for MLP FIM:
Children of the Night < = Song made and sung by a fan, drawings, animations, rigging, ALL done by fans.
And you would not really find a difference to the official stuff, if you had not watched it closely before that.
@SD: but he still ain't very charismatic so it's a good fit . .
Posted by: ShadowDragon8685 Sep 13 2013, 09:45 PM
Eeeeyup! Big Mac's not very charismatic, but he doesn't fall into the "dumb angry brute" mold. He's kind of shy about speaking his mind to anyone except his kin, but he's a friendly, amiable and gentle sort - just watch him spontaneously break into pulling a hayride at Pinkie's behest, to cheer up a couple of glum foals.
Posted by: Stahlseele Sep 13 2013, 09:59 PM
And then watch him go around pulling a complete 2 story house behind him in a stupor.
Also in terms of fanmade:
Snowdrop
Buttons Adventures
Fluffle Puff
Let's go and meet the Bronies
Picture Perfect Pony
JanAnimations is basically a garant for quality stuff . .
Yes, the Scene has it's own celebrities.
JanAnimations
TheLivingTombstone
and some others i can't remember right now.

Stop the madness! My hacker has a Pony as his avatar in VR. I threatened my players with a Thor Shot if any of them made a centaur called Rainbow Dash. Wife is playing My Little Pony town on Face Book so the contamination is wide spread.

Horses and ponies keep biting me, so no not a fan.

I did warn you about wearing that Alfalfa fragrance, there is such a thing as being too green.
Posted by: Stahlseele Sep 13 2013, 11:38 PM
i am actually very afraid of horses because of bad childhood memories of being bitten and kicked and trampled by a horse once . .
and i still enjoy MLP FIM.

My thing is that it's one of the nicest and most creative fandoms out there. After watching the raging battles on boards like this one, it's nice to relax with a bunch of dudes who love their own particular pastel pony a bit more than the others, but it's really okay if you like those others because they're all different and we all like different things and that's okay.
Seriously, with a few notable exceptions, that whole "Love and Tolerate" mantra is alive and well in the fandom and it's great. I'm in an area with a metric assload (which is bigger than an Imperial assload) of Bronies and all of the meetups I've been to have been great. I run into fellow Bronies all the time on the train here and it's nice to be greeted with a brohoof and a chance at a conversation with someone who's usually pretty cool. It's good to be part of a community that isn't built on competition or exclusiveness.
Posted by: ShadowDragon8685 Sep 14 2013, 04:08 AM
The awesome thing about Friendship is Magic, I think, is that it's a perfect gateway to other settings/fandoms.
I would not have gotten interested in MLP:FiM if it had not been for http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WebAnimation/TurnaboutStorm, a (many!) hours long radio drama asking the question "What would happen if http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VisualNovel/AceAttorney were summoned to Equestria to defend Rainbow Dash in a murder trial?"
And then, later on, I would not have gotten into http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Series/DoctorWho if not for http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/AudioPlay/DoctorWhoovesAndAssistant, one (of more than one,) epic tales asking the question "What if the Doctor finds that the TARDIS materializes in Equestria while he's regenerating, and he regenerates into a brown Earth Pony?"

But I'm still not involved.
Also, I have some Twilight Sparkle / Twilight cross-over fanfic you may (not) be interested in.

Got two, potential third ShadowBronies in my current game. One tries to deny that he is a Brony.
Although only one is insisting that his contacts' nicknames be based on characters from the show.
That being said, I am slightly glad of the turn off that the SR-centaur caused them... 
...what? I take what I can get.
Posted by: Stahlseele Sep 14 2013, 10:42 AM
@Dolanar
Because we are a pretty inclusive lot.
We try to show people how good it is to belong to the herd, but if they don't want after some poking and prodding, we accept it.
We only ask that people don't mock us for liking it, because it's less stupid than liking sports and that they at least try it before deciding not to like it.

That was spectacular. I will be sharing that with my brony friends.
For those that are not aware, that is the opening theme from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_on_titan (Shingeki no Kyojin), which is next on my watch list.
There's been a glut of "Attack on ______" intro videos lately. My one friend said, "Attack on Titan has become a genre."

Fluttershy's more of a rigger. All of her little pets (drones with personas programmed in), quietly avoids other people so that she can talk to them, heals them (mechanics!), and uses them as a support network, even helping others with thier own.
Also, when she flips the switch and brings out the heavy artillery, everyone goes "eep" and gets the heck out of her way.
Yup. Drone rigger all the way.
