Count to 50: Ponies vs. Non-Ponies XXXV: Something to do with Link and Sonic

[Mauve Shirt]

0. I'd be annoyed that the ponies are in a good place right now, but I've just learned that my pants size has decreased and so cannot be annoyed.

[Fortuna]

-1.

That 'just barely holding above even' counts as a good place makes me sad. :smallfrown:

[BasketOfPuppies]

Zero. No school Friday.

[ts20fan]

-1. Ditto.

[Mauve Shirt]

0 Really? Why?

[Fortuna]

-1.

We need more ponies, dammit!

[Rain Dragon]

Zero. - 0 -

[Woodzyowl]

Un. Je ne parle pas anglais.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Two. My DM is going to learn to not give me an advantage ever.

[Dirtytabs]

1
Microsoft Sam is speaking on TPP FireRed. :smallconfused:

[Rain Dragon]

Two. - 10 -

[Mauve Shirt]

Thuh-ree...

[Fortuna]

TWO.

Thrice-accursed non-ponies. We were almost holding steady.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Thrèè. Not much else.

[Rain Dragon]

Four 11 - Also, I'm not accursed, let alone thrice-accursed!

[Mauve Shirt]

Five.......

[Duck999]

Ssssssiiiiiix

[Fortuna]

Fiiiiiiiiiive. :smallfrown:

[ts20fan]

Fouriiiiiiii

[Mauve Shirt]

Five......

[BasketOfPuppies]

Six. get to RP me murdering my BBEG tomorrow

[Duck999]

SSSSSeven.

[Fortuna]

Six.

Seriously, this is demoralizing. I'm tempted to go dig out my non-pony avatar just so I can get on the winning side.

[Mauve Shirt]

Seven. I encourage that course of action. :smallamused:

[BasketOfPuppies]

Eight. Mrrrrgh.

[Duck999]

Nine
Duck approves having more non ponies.

[Fortuna]

Eight.

I'd feel bad if I did switch, though. We ponies are doing badly enough as it is.

[Rain Dragon]

Nine. 1001

[Dirtytabs]

Nine minus one

[Mauve Shirt]

9...........

[Fortuna]

Twice a pair of twos.

[Targ Collective]

Nine is where we're at again

Need more ponies or less men!

Edit:

Whoops, looks as though I misread,

Seven is the count I should have said.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Hey Targ, You aren't one of us (yet)

8.

[Mauve Shirt]

9 again.

[Fortuna]

Eight again.

[Dirtytabs]

Yet another 7

[BasketOfPuppies]

Eight. Yay for long weekends!

[ts20fan]

7. Finally back.

[Fortuna]

Six. We're pulling back!

[Rain Dragon]

Seven - 110 -

[BasketOfPuppies]

Eight. At a standstill.

[Dirtytabs]

Eh, seven.

[Fortuna]

And six again.

[Socksy]

Seven
:smallsmile:

[Mauve Shirt]

Eight.....

[BasketOfPuppies]

Nine. Easter is too early.

[Dirtytabs]

8 I felt it was late, for some reason.

[Fortuna]

Seven.

Come on, ponies, we held 'em below zero for a little while. :smallfrown:

[Mauve Shirt]

8..........

[BasketOfPuppies]

Nine. Just bought Goat Simulator.

[ThePhantom]

ten, I think

[Dirtytabs]

Back at nine

[Fortuna]

And eight again.

[Mauve Shirt]

Nine, woooo

[BasketOfPuppies]

Ten. Back to the daily grind.

[Targ Collective]

Easter hols over but feeling fine,

Here we are at number nine.

[Fortuna]

Eight. Hey, my number isn't higher than my last one.

[Laughing Dog]

Nine.
My favorite number.

[BasketOfPuppies]

10. Just disembowled a chocolate bunny with my hands and teeth.

[Solse]

1 1 .
11.

[Mauve Shirt]

12..................

[Fortuna]

11. :smallfrown::smallfrown:

[BasketOfPuppies]

12. What's wrong?

[Dirtytabs]

11 I hope they're there because ponies are losing.

[Mutant Sheep]

12

But wouldn't that be cause for :smallsmile::smallsmile:?

:smallbiggrin:

[Fortuna]

11. Holding steady once more!

[ts20fan]

10. SAT's suck.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Eleven. . . . .

[Rain Dragon]

Twelve. 1100

[Dirtytabs]

11 ...Yep...

[Fortuna]

Ten. Yay, a number lower than the last one I posted.

[ThePhantom]

And now its 11

[Rain Dragon]

Twelve. Again. -1100-

[Mauve Shirt]

13. *yawn* You know what's difficult? Being honest about your inadequacy.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Fourteen. I volunteer today.

[Targ Collective]

Thirteen is the current count

Climbing higher still

Still a fairly low amount

E'en so, for ponies, a bitter pill.

[Fortuna]

12, then. A little better.

[Dirtytabs]

Odd number 11

[BasketOfPuppies]

My character has 12 abberrant feats.

[ThePhantom]

Unlucky 13

[Rain Dragon]

Fourteen 1110

[Fortuna]

13 again, then.

[Targ Collective]

And twelve.

[Dirtytabs]

11 :smallcool:

[Balmas]

What's that? Is that a ten?

Darn straight, I'm a ten.

[Fortuna]

Nine? Nine? We're actually going down?

[Targ Collective]

Eight. Pooony cascade!!!!

[Mauve Shirt]

9. Bah.

[BasketOfPuppies]

10. Go to sleep for ONE night and the count plummets...

[Fortuna]

Nine.

Yes it does. Just as it should. :smallamused:

[Rain Dragon]

Ten - 1010 -

[Targ Collective]

Nine again.

[Dirtytabs]

Ooh, single digit 8

[Fortuna]

Seven! We are descending!

[Balmas]

Down once more to the dungeon of my black despair
Down we plunge to the prison of my miiiiind...

Oh, and six.

[Mauve Shirt]

7. Did someone go pony while I wasn't looking?

[BasketOfPuppies]

8. I can't tell because mobile.

[Targ Collective]

Seven as the count descends

Pony interests I forfend

[Fortuna]

Six! Come, my friends! To the farthest reaches of the negatives we fly!

[Balmas]

Five. Mauve! It's good to see you again. Been a while since I hung out here.

[Mauve Shirt]

6 Psh, yeah I bet you missed me, like one might miss a kidney stone.

[Targ Collective]

Five? The numbers, they do sink!

Perhaps a Pony victory, I think.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Six. Welcome back Balmas.

[Dirtytabs]

5 Hello Balmas

[Mauve Shirt]

6 blah blah blah

@v Yeah, glad to see you back too.

[Balmas]

6 Psh, yeah I bet you missed me, like one might miss a kidney stone.


Yes, and I've missed your somewhat acidic personality, as well. No, really. It's good to see you again.


Five.

[Targ Collective]

Four is the current count

In our plummeting amount

[BasketOfPuppies]

Five. Mauve, why do you hate ponies so much?

[Woodzyowl]

6. I suppose I need to come back.

[Balmas]

Five. No, no need to bother on our account.

[Mauve Shirt]

6 Because fans of ponies will draw Rainbow Dash/Apple Jack bondage pornography and share them on Facebook. Because I saw a 35-year-old 300-pound man wearing a "sexy" Twilight Sparkle outfit that amounted to a belt with a tail on it and a hat at the last gaming convention I attended. I felt previously like my playground was a place where I was safe from that part of the Internet and now they're everywhere.

[Rain Dragon]

Seven. 111

[BasketOfPuppies]

8. Sorry Mauve, but if you want to get away you shouldn't frequent a thread that revolves around ponies being a thing.

[Fortuna]

7.

Also, you know, that old saw about how any cause can attract fools and the worst are always the most visible and, long story short, we're not all bad.

[Dirtytabs]

6. Every fandom has that fraction of oh-god-no fans.

[Balmas]

Five. I'm sorry, Mauve.

[BasketOfPuppies]

6. Mrrrgh.

@V: it's what I put when I need more letters to post. It's kind of like a zombie's moan.

[Fortuna]

Five. Mrrrgh?

[Targ Collective]

Four is the count at which we stand

Holding steady in the land

[Balmas]

Three. No more, no less.

[Dirtytabs]

2 is 3 - 1.

[Fortuna]

And 1 is 3 - 2. Although I'm a bit sad that I was at the wrong time to make a Monty Python reference.

[Rain Dragon]

Two - 10 -

[BasketOfPuppies]

Three. Good for the ponies, they need to win every once in a while.

[Mauve Shirt]

Four. Eh.

[Balmas]

Three. Mate?

[Targ Collective]

Three is where we stand this time

Have we reversed non-pony climb?

[Woodzyowl]

4. Stop posting while I'm hunting! (I'm nocturnal)

[BasketOfPuppies]

Actually it's 4 now. Targ double-counted.

[5a Violista]

Actually, it's FIVE now.

Which is also known as just V in some cultures.

[Balmas]

Four. Yay for numbers.

[Targ Collective]

Three is where we stand again

Counting down to the dismay of men

[Mauve Shirt]

4. Meh.

[Fortuna]

And three shall be the number of the counting, and the number of the counting shall be three.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive.

[Balmas]

Four. Must post more often.

[ts20fan]

4. Who are you talking about?

[Fortuna]

Er. We just went 3 + 1 = 5 - 1 = 4 - 1 = 4. So... by my reckoning the last count should have been 2, and I get to say 1.

[Mauve Shirt]

Yeah. 2.

[Targ Collective]

One is the count we have reached

Seems like we're counting down

So let's see if we can turn these pony frowns

All the way upside down

[BasketOfPuppies]

twoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

[Fortuna]

Once again one again.

[Dirtytabs]

Woah, zero?

[Mauve Shirt]

One. You'll probably win while I sleep.

[Balmas]

Zero. We're far from negative fifty.

[Fortuna]

i². And we've got panic to deal with, too.

[BasketOfPuppies]

0. I'm waking up and checking the thread in about nine hours. Until then, have fun being negative.

[Dirtytabs]

Negative one

[Mauve Shirt]

0...........

[Fortuna]

-1. Technically I'm not a pony any more, but I've been told I'm an honorary pony, so I'll keep counting down.

[BasketOfPuppies]

0. Didn't go far in 9 hours...

[Targ Collective]

Negative one is where we stand

Broken the zero barrier! O-ho, man!

[Woodzyowl]

0. Yeah, I need to pay more attention to this.

[Dirtytabs]

-1
Is fun.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Zeeeeeeeeeeeeero.

[Targ Collective]

Negative one we have again

A victory of ponies over men

[Balmas]

Negative two.

[Mauve Shirt]

-1 No victory.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Holding tight at zero.

[Fortuna]

-1 again, I guess.

[Targ Collective]

Counting down at minus two

Pony victory I'm telling you!

[Mauve Shirt]

-1 You say that, but your panic is so close to 0 I can smell it from here.

[BasketOfPuppies]

0. My PC doesn't want to work.

[Fortuna]

-1, hurrah.

[Targ Collective]

Minus two is where we're at

Counting down just like that

Non-pony panic at -25

Let's keep pushing for a downwards drive!

[Dirtytabs]

-3 Panic incorporation.

[Balmas]

Negative four.

[Fortuna]

The other square root of 25.

[Mauve Shirt]

Random person, you are not a pony. Link to the episode to which your avatar is a reference, or the count is at -1. No you can NOT be a "pony on the inside."

[BasketOfPuppies]

Zero? I think?

[Balmas]

Negative one.

[Dirtytabs]

Down, down we go -2

[ts20fan]

Wheeee! Down to -3!

[Woodzyowl]

-2. That's not fair! I was making s'mores!

[Targ Collective]

Here we are at negative three

Counting down with considerable glee

[Dirtytabs]

-4



Roar

[Balmas]

Negative five.

[Woodzyowl]

-4. Blargh.

[Fortuna]

Random person, you are not a pony. Link to the episode to which your avatar is a reference, or the count is at -1. No you can NOT be a "pony on the inside."

...yeah, okay, whatever. As of this post I have (extremely temporarily) returned my avatar to this (http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/Hominusfortuitus/th_U.png). By the time you see it it will probably be a cat again. You guys have fun, as I presumed (apparently wrongly) was the point of this thread. I leave the count at -5.

[Balmas]

Negative six.

No comment.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Negative five.

[Dirtytabs]

-6 *shrug*

[Woodzyowl]

-5. The owl is a lie.

[Targ Collective]

Negative six is the current count

My oh my, such a low amount

[BasketOfPuppies]

Negative five again.

[Dirtytabs]

-6 Uh hum.

[Woodzyowl]

-5. Or perhaps the cowl is a lie. Who knows?

[Targ Collective]

Negative six is the count again

Holding steady against the tide of Men...

[Balmas]

Negative seven.

Men? I thought we were facing robotic puppies and owls.

[Dirtytabs]

-8 With a capital M?

[Mauve Shirt]

- 7

[BasketOfPuppies]

Negative eight.

[Targ Collective]

You gone pony Puppies? Okay, I'll roll with it.

Here we are at negative nine,

Countin' down and feelin' fine.

[Balmas]

Preemptively correcting. Negative eight.

[Woodzyowl]

-7. Owls are overpowered. The Wizard pales in comparison.

[ts20fan]

-8. Still negative, wow.

[Mauve Shirt]

-7 The only problem with the mobile site is that it displays your default avatar, so I can't tell who is truly a pony.

[Targ Collective]

Here we are at negative eight

Counting down at too slow a rate

[Balmas]

-7 The only problem with the mobile site is that it displays your default avatar, so I can't tell who is truly a pony.

Negative nine.

Isn't it a matter of trust, then?

[BasketOfPuppies]

-8. Earlier was a mistype, I haven't gone pony. And besides, we (pretty much) know who is and isn't a pony.

[Laughing Dog]

Negative Seven.

[Dirtytabs]

-8 Fortunately, most of us don't switch that often.

[Balmas]

Negative nine.

[Mauve Shirt]

-8 True, true. Especially now that you have a fairly stable hold on the negatives, I'm curious to see whether you'll win.

[BasketOfPuppies]

-7. It'd be an interesting change of pace.

[Rain Dragon]

Negative six.

[Woodzyowl]

-5. This looks familiar.

[Balmas]

Negative six. Back, I say!

[BasketOfPuppies]

-5. Back to the daily grind.

[Dirtytabs]

-6 Dang, we can't lose again.

[Woodzyowl]

-5. Well, technically...

[BasketOfPuppies]

-4. Wait, is that upward movement?

[ts20fan]

-5. I will not let that happen.

[Targ Collective]

Here we are at negative six

Looks like non-ponies up to their tricks

[Balmas]

Negative seven.

[Dirtytabs]

-8... ... ...

[Mauve Shirt]

-7............

[Targ Collective]

Here we are at negative eight

Mauve Shirt's anti-pony hate

Seems to have no victory here

Counting down far and near!

[Woodzyowl]

-7. That time I was napping! Much cheat! Such hacks!

[Balmas]

Negative eight.

[Dirtytabs]

-9 is divine

[Mauve Shirt]

-8 Jesus, does my ill will towards ponies have to be some kind of rallying cry for you? :smallannoyed:

[BasketOfPuppies]

-7. My Boy Scout troop needs to learn some serious discipline.

[Woodzyowl]

-6. That's part of the boy scouts. Trust me, I know from experience.

[Balmas]

Negative seven.

[Dirtytabs]

-8
Eh, boys.

[Targ Collective]

Here we are at negative nine

Countin' down and feelin' fine

Mauve Shirt's ill will really stinks

(At least that's what this pony thinks)

[BasketOfPuppies]

-8. I thoroughly enjoy your rhyming posts.

[Mauve Shirt]

-7 I hate rhyming at my expense and I hope it stops because it's your comments that make me have ill will towards you personally, not ponies.

[Balmas]

Targ, what the heck is your beef with Mauve? That's twice in two posts that you've mocked her, degraded her, for the purposes of a cheap rhyme and a laugh. Not cool.

Oh, and Negative eight

[Targ Collective]

Here we are at negative nine

Counting down all the time

My beef with Mauve is simple you see

Apart from a history of pony hostility

Mauve's ill will caused a pony ally to flee...

This bad attitude is not a joke;

I feel it worthy of a poke

But if you feel it in bad taste I will desist

My poor opinion of Mauve persists

(Oh and basket, if rhyming you like

why not try joining in?

Adds some flavour to the text;

doesn't just have to be my thing.)

[Rain Dragon]

Negative eight.

[Mauve Shirt]

You can't rhyme "desist" with "persist", for the same reason you can't rhyme "Helium" and "Einsteinium".
-8

[Targ Collective]

The second half of the word rhymes and they're the same length. Good enough for me. This isn't Iron Poet - I'd make more effort for that. It's called freestylin'.

[Balmas]

Negative nine.

What Mauve might have done shouldn't affect what you do. That's what Choice means. :smalltongue:

[Woodzyowl]

-8. PC Owl master race, checking in.

[BasketOfPuppies]

-9. I'd rhyme but class is about to start.

[Mauve Shirt]

-8 I moved houses and I'm as tired as a dog, but I still have to build my bed. =(

[Balmas]

Negative seven, unless BasketofPuppies has abruptly switched sides.

And I'm sorry to hear that, Mauve. I'd help, if you didn't live across the country from me, and were someone other than, you know, a voice in the internet. :smalltongue:

[Woodzyowl]

-6. It's odd figuring out this new Firefox UI.

[BasketOfPuppies]

-5. I'm still not quite used to being in the negatives, so I accidentally subtract when I mean to add.

[Rain Dragon]

Negative four.

It's easy to do.

[Balmas]

Negative five. I'd appreciate more ponies.

[Dirtytabs]

-6 I'm here.

[Targ Collective]

Negative Seven is where we're at

Seems we're creeping up

Ponies! Equestrians!

From the negatives let's sup.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Negative six.

[Woodzyowl]

-5. Because owls.

[Rain Dragon]

Negative four.

[Quiddle]

Here we are at negative three,
Look to the scoreboard and you'll see,
A history of non-pony victory.
If I were a pony I think I'ld flee.

[Balmas]

Negative four.

We shall go on to the end! We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets! We shall never surrender!
