Lists of lists for lists

Hello Everypony,

Sharpy here just giving you all a quick line on how things are progressing,

The first thing I will say on how things are going is how well they are going.

There are no problems with the date so far and venues are being contacted and negotiations starting, The blind bag finds have made some prizes easier to source. Some other prizes for activities are also being sourced as we speak so there will be Pony up for grabs.

The entertainment is well on the way to being sorted out, stream is on the cards still. Music is well on the way. Graphics are being doodled out.

So to sum up all of this Chaos, the project is still in full swing. There is little concrete to put up yet but wanted you all to know there are no problems and the quiet space has been due to us all being busy bees and not a sign of problems.

What I would love everyone to do is to keep spreading word of this. So tell all your brony/pegasis friends out there :D let them know. This is going to be a lot of fun!

In a personal note I am so excited to see the site counter go over the 2k mark! wow that's so amazing I just don't know what to say :D

Blind Bags

After searching the interwebs i have found a (german) website which will ship to the uk for €6.99, and guess what they sell G4 blindbags for €1.79, so if anyone wants to purchase them, i would recommend doing it in bulk for the saving on the P+P, so heres the link.

We have a confirmed date!

Hello Everypony!

I hope you are all well and have enjoyed this weeks episode and if you haven't seen it yet then run over to derpyhooves.com and grab a download or watch it on Youtube.

Now lets begin... with the date! After lots of talking, a few looks at various calenders and a few texts around we have come up with the following date *drumroll*

Saturday 4th February 2012

Of course this date depends on the world not ending but other then that pop it into your social calenders it is very unlikely to be changed unless we really have no other option.

Now onto other things....

Plans are still progressing we have some more help in with venues and progress has moved forward in all areas. Prizes are being located for competitions and ideas are still swimming about so stay tuned more is to come.

I also promised you all the answer to my post a few days ago. I am happy with the feedback and have taken on board some suggestions so have started work on the real questions and getting Photoshop to behave.

The picture follows:



The answer was: Bon-Bon. For the real one I will be able to use some of the Mane 6 but I couldn't use them for the problem of suitable screenshots being hard to find so limiting my options a bit.

Pub Quiz Idea

Hi everypony,

Another random update from me to keep you all up to speed.

I am working on the pub quiz as I got some positive feedback about it and it seems like fun. As well as normal questions I am thinking of adding in a few different rounds.

This may be things like "What was said next?" This will be where a clip is played from the show and you have to guess what was said next.

Another idea I want to test out is "Guess the missing pony" round. This is where I will censor out a pony from a scene and you will have to guess who is missing. I have drawn up an example scene, this will obviously not be used in the real quiz and I have made it on the harder end of the scale so this would likely be somewhere towards the end of the round.

The picture is below (click to enlarge):













A few things I want to note as well,
  1. This is a rough draft so has been done using MS Paint. The real thing would be done properly using Photoshop so it will look a lot better.
    1. Please try to do this without cheating, I am trying to find out how hard it is, so feedback is good if you don't know the answer.
    2. If you want to have a go, drop me your answer to me by email at: bronydude@live.co.uk
      This is so others can have a go, so please don't put your answer in the comments. But please comment on if you think its easy, hard or impossible. Or if you think the whole idea is a bit rubbish.
    3. I will put the answer up in a couple of days once I have some feedback.

    Sharpy, signing off now.
