That's actually a co-write with SkarmorySilver. the other Mission is "Fear Fear Itself". And then there's the Interlude... They are all linked in my main character's page.
The game idea sounds kinda interesting...
I have very super-duper-mega exciting news! I'm so very excited that I could go: "GAAAAAAAAAAAASP!" Just like that time... but then again, what could ever top that? Maybe some super big bouncy castle shaped like a chocolate cake! Or maybe ―
*Edhelistar grabs the pink party pony and shoves her into a portal back to Equestria*
Hello everyone! And sorry, for... ahem... that... Anyway, yes, I'm Edhelistar, and yes, I'm still alive. *whistles* It has been a long time! I see so many new usernames, and quite as many familiar ones. And Nesh, PC... sorry I didn't came back to the corrections of the Mission. =(
The reason I dropped so unexpectedly, was because, well, I had a great amount of personal issues, most of them health issues... I developed hypertension, diabetes... and worst of all at around October-November I had a very bad depressive episode, so bad I nearly failed my entire semester. Right now, I'm still recovering from that, and I just recently felt well enough for drawing again, and even more recently, to write again. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, was, and still is, a great help in my recovery in fact.
For now, any Mission writing or any other PPC content is on hold, until I feel I could do it again.
For any newbies around, who I haven't met before... uh, hi? I once roleplayed as the entire Justice League in the Board... and none of you probably have read any of my two missions... I think. Who knows? Maybe some did it! (And if you did: I'm so ever very grateful! Could you share your thoughts?)
Speaking of my writing, I have a second announcement! I did mention I came back to writing, but it isn't PPC related, but still, I require willing beta readers who could help me SPaG, narrative and fact checking my work. The work in question is a fanfic, my first ever I have ever written. So, if anyone is willing to help, first, would, preferably, have very deep knowledge of the My Little Pony franchise in general, though, being up-to-date with Friendship is Magic is enough. And second, provide me with a way contact him/her/whatever pronoun you choose.
I think that's all I have to say for now... If you feel like I forgot something, something seems sketchy for you or just have any question, ask away, I won't bite you (unless you ask me to... But why would you ask that!?)
Edhelistar signs out for now!
Sorry it's taken me forever to respond to this. Real Life, that rat bastard, got in the way.
Anyway, as for your request for betas, as you might recall, I am very familiar with MLP and it's fandom. However, as last stated, I am going through some Real Life things right now that make it difficult for me to do so. I'd be happy to try, but don't be surprised if it takes a while for me to get back to you.
You can reach me at tds3ak with Google's email service.
I do understand, and don't worry is an ongoing project, and there will always something to beta, since I'll be keeping all the chapters in the same doc, so you will always have something to beta
(I'll try to find a way to mark the ones which are published soon once I start doing it, though)
Anyway, Doc shared with commenting permissions!
I used to watch the original MLP and collect the toys. I've watched FiM, though I might slip and think a Friendship is Witchcraft episode is canon.
I'm willing to research. I've got plenty of time on my hands.
For betaing, you might have to ask me to clarify some things.
I read part of the story with Feratu, not sure if I finished it in the past. How many agents are on that mission? Plus with mentioning other members of Skarmory's army, there were too many characters to keep track of.
...I don't think you understand the knowledge required. I very clearly specified that I need someone who's up to date with My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic , that means up to Season 7, Episode 7 of the US broadcast or Season 7, Episode 8 of the Canadian broadcast, at the date of this writing, at the least!
For clarification, required secondary knowledge, in order of importance, are:
1.- All Equestria Girls movies and shorts.
2.- All G3 specials and shorts, the Meet the Ponies series of shorts, all G3.5 shorts and .
3.- The G1 show My Little Pony Tales.
The original show is the one I require the least. And you didn't mention to be up to date in G4, therefore I assume you don't have enough canon knowledge to beta this fic.
Second, according to the anecdotes and recounts above, you seem to have issues with characterization and narrative, the things that worry me the most to get right. If you can't get your own characters right... How can I trust you to know if I got a character (which isn't even mine) right?
Third, research won't help you know how a character acts and reacts, you need to watch or read them on action. And if you couldn't keep up with four agents, much less you'd be able to keep up with five plotlines happening at the same time. And if I need to clarify stuff like this, you're not fit for beta duty.
Fourth, you seem to have a very bad reputation among the Boarders, and that doesn't exactly fills me with trust. Yes, that means I don't trust you.
And for all those reasons, I decline your offer to beta my work.

What a way to open a Board post! What a way to come back!
I'm Twistey (although I won't be called that for long, as I'll explain later), and I joined the PPC some time this year (shoot, couldn't grab the date before the post disappeared). I came here out of curiosity, then got hooked on the original idea of this place. I'm into a crud ton of fandoms (MLP being one of them, as you can see), and my interests include game design/coding, writing, drawing, crafting, and pretty much anything creative. My main thing used to be Scratch, but I'm working on getting to Newgrounds and other places (hence why the Twistey alias will soon be dropped.) It's very nice to meet you, and great to hear about both the return and the recovery. Now that you mention it, I should go read some of your missions.
Nice to meet you!

Your first post to the Board was on April 4th, 2017.
There is a "Next Page" button at the bottom of the page, and at the bottom of the next page, etc. Currently, the board goes back to September 17th, 2015 (about fifty pages).
Also, if you remember a peculiar word or sequence of words, you may use the "Search" field at the top of the page, and since you immediately adopted the habit of signing your comments, searching for "-Twistey" brings up all your (recent) posts. (Apparently there is a limit at one hundred results.)

Best of luck with your projects! And if you like superheroes, you might like my missions. ;)
Think it was called "KnightFail" or something. Sounds hilarious.
Funny thing, I might include a slight reference to the PPC in one of my games. The game will be called "Sue VS Sue," and it'll be like Mortal Kombat or something, a one-on-one fighting game except with Mary Sues. There'll be something about a "monster" living underneath the arena that feeds on Sues' power, and one of the possible deaths for a character will be that they're pulled underground by a vine-tentacle. (Like a captured Flower gone crazy. Or something.) It's going to be quite a funny game, I just know it. :)

She seems like an interesting character. I'll bookmark that other one too. Yay!
Sue VS Sue isn't the only game I'm going to make, but it's probably going to be one of the first, since a side-view platformer would be easier to code than most other things I've got planned. I'm also going to do a few animations - in fact, the reason I started posting to the board was to ask about an animated series set in the PPC continuum, starring two characters who function as "fanfic's hired mercenaries". (My parents don't like this group, so I gotta lie low. :P)
Anyway, I don't have much else to say. Looking forward to hearing your reply.

Thie Spikes are becoming kind of an issue, dontcha think?
