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

[BasketOfPuppies]

Megative three.

[Dirtytabs]

-4
I'm helping

[Targ Collective]

Negative five is where we're at

As we steadily count on through

Now we're up against a dalek

Time to call on Doctor Whooves?

[ts20fan]

-6. Keeping fairly steady.

[Woodzyowl]

-5. I'm so SMRT.

[BasketOfPuppies]

-4. My flail is getting mailed tomorrow.

@V: Sadly, no. It's just a replica. My parents wouldn't approve of me having an actual weapon.

[Dirtytabs]

-5 Ooh, a genuine one?

[Mauve Shirt]

-4 I am almost entirely moved in.

[Zaydos]

-3 I missed something...

[Targ Collective]

Minus four is where we're at

I sense an upwards trend

We need more ponies here I think

To the negatives' forfend!

EDIT: Forfend: avert or prevent (something evil or unpleasant) alternative usage (the one I'm using here) protect (something) by precautionary measures

[BasketOfPuppies]

-3. Forfend?

[Balmas]

Negative four.

[Mauve Shirt]

jfc I hate rhymes. -3

[Targ Collective]

Some like 'em, some hate 'em - I care not.

This is my art, my way, the lot.

Negative four is where we stand

Counting down and up and down in the land.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Negative three.

[Balmas]

Negative four.

[Dirtytabs]

-5

Ponies

[Woodzyowl]

-4. Aviators?

[Targ Collective]

Negative five is the current count

Much too high an amount

Equestrians! Ponies! Far and near!

Let's count down together with good cheer!

[Rain Dragon]

Negative four.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Negative three

[Dirtytabs]

Negative four

[Targ Collective]

Negative five once again

Holding steady against the Men

Pony victory? Perhaps methinks

Another curbstomp you say? That stinks!

[Mauve Shirt]

- 4

[Woodzyowl]

-3. Who's an owl?

[Dirtytabs]

-4 Who ya gonna call?

[Targ Collective]

Negative five I call once more

Holding steady in the score

Calling ponies for support

Attention! Equestrians! Report!

I'm holding the count steady - just;

But count further down we must.

[Mauve Shirt]

No we mustn't go down any further. We have to stop the rhyming before I go on a murdering spree. -4

[Woodzyowl]

-3. Murder? I love murder!

[Cuthalion]

Two is for -2.

*blindly hops around before eating a head of yellow cabbage*

The red drake strikes unfairly, eat the yam.

[BasketOfPuppies]

i squared.

[Balmas]

Negative two.

[Rain Dragon]

Negative one!

[Zaydos]

0h yeah this exists.

[Mauve Shirt]

1. Awesome.

[Woodzyowl]

2. No going negative while I'm cooking fudge and s'mores.

[BasketOfPuppies]

3. So, back to the positives?

[Targ Collective]

The count is two?!?

In a short time

The anti-pony forces malign

Have achieved a great victory

Over beneficent forces pony!

No! I say. This shall not stand!

Back to the negatives in this land!

Lurker ponies, I know you're there

The situation is grim

Pony forces might yet lose

'less you should come join in!

[Zaydos]

Three of me

[Dirtytabs]

Positive two

[BasketOfPuppies]

Three. My replica flail just came.

[Targ Collective]

Two - holding steady again

But we're in the positives then,

Time for a pony counterattack!

Soon back to the negatives we lack

[Rain Dragon]

Three. Awesome! Enjoy your flail. :smallcool:

[Balmas]

Two. Wow, when did we go positive?

[Targ Collective]

Sorry Balmas, we've got to earn it back.

Here we are at one - at least we're climbing down

Let's see if the negative we can re-earn

To prevent more pony frowns

[BasketOfPuppies]

Two. My DM has requested that I play a Cleric. I find it hard to not show him his error.

[Rain Dragon]

Three. - 11 -

[Woodzyowl]

4. You are gentleponies and scholars. Your places in whatever afterlives you desire are secure.

[Dirtytabs]

Three. My replica flail just came.
If they had sent you the wrong one, would you consider it an epic flail?

3

[Targ Collective]

Whoops, I broke the three-post rule

Look at me, what a fool

Apologies to non-Ponykind

Hoping you won't, in fact, mind

Four posts lie 'tween this and my last

So perhaps we can leave that in the past...

The current count stands, then, at two

We'll reach the negatives yet I'm telling you!

[Socksy]

Three. I need to get in here more often.

[Rain Dragon]

Four 100

Only if you want to. :smalltongue:

[Woodzyowl]

5. Gee. I smell like wood smoke.
@V: Because I had a fire last night.

[Dirtytabs]

4 Why?

[BasketOfPuppies]

If they had sent you the wrong one, would you consider it an epic flail?

3

5. *clap* *clap* *clap*

[Mauve Shirt]

6. I'm pretty bored. I should create something, so I don't just eat or drink something.

[Balmas]

Five. Yay.

[Woodzyowl]

6. I yelled "fire!" when I fell into the chocolate.

[Dirtytabs]

5 Perhaps I should do something constructive, too.

[Targ Collective]

Four is the current count

Climbing far too high

We need a more negative amount

Such as minus five

[BasketOfPuppies]

Five. Just beat Dust. It was well worth the free download.

[Mauve Shirt]

Six..........

[Woodzyowl]

7. I'm too tired to say something incoherent. I'm sorry.

[Balmas]

Six. Blarg. Words.

[BasketOfPuppies]

7. Seconded.

[Rain Dragon]

Eight. 1000

[Dirtytabs]

Lucky(?) 7

[Venetian Mask]

I guess since I no longer have the ponytar that makes it eight. Wish my ponytar hadn't fallen of the web. Wish I'd saved it on my pc for that matter.

[Mauve Shirt]

That would be correct. 9

[BasketOfPuppies]

10. My PC for last campaign is now the BBEG for the new campaign. I must've done something right.

[Woodzyowl]

11. Is there another way to come up with a BBEG for a new campaign?

[Dirtytabs]

10. Mm?

[Mauve Shirt]

11..........

[BasketOfPuppies]

Twelve......

[Targ Collective]

Eleven is the current count

Climbing somewhat high

Ponies miss the negatives

As the count climbs to the sky

Forlornly I raise a trumpet

For a clarion call

Perhaps I offer crumpets

For answering ponies all

"Equestrians! I regret to say

The situation's grim.

Negatives slip far away

Chance of victory seems slim.

But take heart! Just one or two

Extra Pony peeps

And perhaps into the negatives

Again we shall be steeped"

And so the moral of the tale

Is lurker ponies need to be

Working hard - not lurking

For Pony victory!

[Woodzyowl]

12. Targ, that post covered the entire vertical component of my screen. I think you may be overdoing it a bit.

[Balmas]

Eleven. Or at least, don't double post.

[ts20fan]

Ten. AP Exams suck.

[Mauve Shirt]

Eleven. Beer is the devil.

[Woodzyowl]

12. Owls are apparently not nocturnal.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Thirteen. I volunteered today.

@V: A local after school teen center.

[Balmas]

Twelve. Where'd you volunteer at?

@^ Very cool! :smallbiggrin:

[Mauve Shirt]

13 A pony retirement home, no doubt.

[Dirtytabs]

12 Cool.

[Venetian Mask]

13... Hot.

[BasketOfPuppies]

14. Warm.

(I'm a Texan living in Ohio. This is nothing.)

[Mauve Shirt]

15. Sweltering. (Actually quite chilly out here in MD)

[Socksy]

16. !

[Venetian Mask]

17. Tepid?

[BasketOfPuppies]

Eighteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen.

[Mauve Shirt]

19 I can't do exercises without being mauled by a crazy pitbull!

[Dirtytabs]

18
Indoors?

[Venetian Mask]

17. I have returned to the fold.:smallbiggrin:

[BasketOfPuppies]

18. Odd, I can't do exorcises without getting mauled by a crazy pitbull...

[Mauve Shirt]

19.........

[Rain Dragon]

Twenty. 10100

[Dirtytabs]

To the teens. 19

[sparky9042]

Y'know what thread I haven't posted in in what feels like more than a month, at least?


This one.

18.

[Targ Collective]

Another Pony - fresh blood - good news indeed!

Though the negatives lie far away

I will help count down further today.

17 then is the count

Really a somewhat high amount

Time to count down all of you

I say to Pony allies old and new!

[Rain Dragon]

I say to Pony allies old and new!

Ahh, I'm too lazy to fix my ponytar though. >.>

Eighteen.

[Dirtytabs]

17
We ner ner ner ner ner ner by the ears

[sparky9042]

Sixteen.

So, now that I intend to be a regular again, how have things been for everyone lately?

[BasketOfPuppies]

17.

Well, except my computer has decided that my motherboard doesn't deserve power, so I'm reduced to mobile.

[Rain Dragon]

Eighteen. 10010

[Balmas]

Seventeen. BoP, is it an issue with the power supply, or an issue of connectivity?

[Mauve Shirt]

18.............

[Targ Collective]

17 is the count today

Getting lower as I have my way

[sparky9042]

Sixteen.

The mobile site is quite an odd looking thing, isn't it? Then again, I'm still not sure how used to the new site I am in general...

[Rain Dragon]

Seventeen 10001

[BasketOfPuppies]

Eighteen.

I am not a fan of the mobile site.

[Dirtytabs]

17. Screen too small, for one.

[Mauve Shirt]

18 I think it's pretty cool. I just wish our avatars displayed.

[Rain Dragon]

Nineteen. 10011

[BasketOfPuppies]

20. And you can't do colored text.

[sparky9042]

19. I notice that dice rolls don't show up properly, as well.

[Targ Collective]

17 is where we're at

It seems the battle's shifted

From keeping count from negatives leaving

To keeping count from +20s displeasing

Oh my I say, well fancy that!

Time to count down, and down again

If the negatives we are to reclaim

We held 'em down once, and I assure fellow Ponies,

If we try we can do it again!

[Dirtytabs]

16
That's a long one.

[Venetian Mask]

15. I keep forgetting to post here.

[Woodzyowl]

16. Well, I got home from college 48 hours ago and didn't have internet until now. Fun times.

[Targ Collective]

Now we have a new Pony ally

To keep the count from reaching the sky

Lurker ponies! I have faith you're there

Let's get these positives out of our hair

With a rapid downwards plunge

Let the positives be expunged

The count, fifteen, is where we stand

Counting down like time's sands

[Mauve Shirt]

sixteen yeah right.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Seventeen. I'm going to go see my friend in a play tonight.

[Woodzyowl]

18. *sigh* I missed this chair.

[ts20fan]

16. Too high.

[Venetian Mask]

It's actually sixteen right now.

[Targ Collective]

Here we are at fifteen then

Holding steady once again

It seems it is my role to be

A linchpin holding space for Pony victory!

[Mauve Shirt]

Sixteen. Yeah, right.

[Rain Dragon]

Seventeen. 10001

[Woodzyowl]

18. Mmm, chairs...

[Targ Collective]

Here we are at seventeen then

Count is creeping back up

Ponies! This is no time for a victory of Men

From the negatives let's sup!

[Venetian Mask]

Guess what?

It's back down to sixteen.

Imagine that.

[Rain Dragon]

Seventeen again.

[Woodzyowl]

18. Have I mentioned how fond I am of my chair?

[Targ Collective]

And here we are at seventeen once more

An upwards trend is seen - what a bore.

[Balmas]

Sixteen. I just don't post enough to make a difference.

[Rain Dragon]

"Seventeen," I say for the third time!

[Dirtytabs]

16 - well, even one post makes a difference.

[Targ Collective]

Fifteen is where we're at

Post more! O Ponies and I say

You too can make a difference today

Even one post makes a difference

And many more will tip the balance!

Ho! O Ponies in Equestria's name

Let us the positives defame

With constant counting down from us

Into the negatives - just because!

[Socksy]

Sixteen. This chair is warm?

[Rain Dragon]

Seventeen.

This is looking a lot like a stalemate at the moment. :smalltongue:

[Targ Collective]

Sixteen is where we stand

Just one more Pony in this land

Will tip t'balance in Equestria's name

Ponies! We'll do this - by Celestia's mane!

EDIT: Whoops, I apologise, over eager. Seventeen - broke the three-post rule. Leaving the post 'cuz Rhyming is Art.

[Mauve Shirt]

Seventeen.

[Woodzyowl]

18. The chair is even better after a night of sleeping on something else.

[smuchmuch]

Nineteen ..

[Rain Dragon]

Twenty. 10100

[Mauve Shirt]

21..........

[BasketOfPuppies]

22..............

[ts20fan]

21. I need a life.

[Cloud Rat]

Twenty!

Am I welcome here?

[Mauve Shirt]

Welcomed by the ponies, despised by the nonponies. 21

[Venetian Mask]

But ponies are cooler anyway, who cares if the non-ponies despise you? Ponies are around 20 percent cooler anyway.

[Zaydos]

Twenty-one *disappears again*

[BasketOfPuppies]

22.

@Imp: sorry about Mauve, she's a bit acidic. But yes, you are welcome.

[Mauve Shirt]

Hey, this is a war, and I have no reason to welcome enemy reinforcements. 23.

[Woodzyowl]

24. Well... Yes, but this is the friendliest war since Canada last went at it.

[Dirtytabs]

23 - well owl be damned, we're losing badly again.

[Balmas]

Twenty-four.

[Cloud Rat]

wait, do dirtytabs or balmas count as ponies?

23

[Zaydos]

24. I thought they did... but I've been away too long.

[Woodzyowl]

25. I forget how Dirtytabs qualifies, but Balmas is the griffon from early on.

[Targ Collective]

23 is the count again

as Pony reinforcements arise

Confused I am, I broke the three post rule

Admitted I did, like such a fool

Yet even Mauve let it stand

As I counted down throughout the land

Well, this is a gift horse I'm not refusing

And I apologise for such confusing

As causes me to break from form

Yet since it was unfair I feel forlorn.

This balance needs to be addressed

Twice now I have broken the three post rule

(accidentally each - I'm such a fool)

And I only think it fair for Men

That twice they be able to do it then.

So non-pony warriors, twice now you may break the three post rule

Just twice! Don't abuse the privelige! We Ponys are no tools

And the balance, then, we shall consider square

And please accept my apologies which is only fair.

[Cloud Rat]

who needs fair when you can have zombies?

*summons 22 zombie minions with necromancy*

BWA HA HA

[ts20fan]

21. Well this escalated quickly.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Twenty two.

[Targ Collective]

Twenty one and counting down

For Pony victory

Mauve and co. may soon well frown

While Ponies sing with glee!

[Rain Dragon]

Am I welcome here?

Welcomed by the ponies, despised by the nonponies.

I don't despise anybody or anypony. Welcome.

Twenty-two.

[Woodzyowl]

23. Who wants to help me destroy the world?

[sparky9042]

Twenty-two.

Balmas's avatar is a griffon OC, Dirtytabs's is humanized Sombra.

[Balmas]

Twenty-one.

Sorry about the mix-up earlier. I was posting from the first page instead of the last.

[Rain Dragon]

Who wants to help me destroy the world?

Twenty-two

Not really... In fact, I'd prefer the world stay intact for the moment.

[Cloud Rat]

twenty one

[sparky9042]

Twenty. Anyone catch the season finale?

@v Friendship is Magic.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Twenty one. Of?

[Woodzyowl]

22. It's funny because it's 2+2.

[Dirtytabs]

21

is not that special of a number

[Rain Dragon]

Twenty-two.

[Cloud Rat]

Twenty-three candy stores selling variations of me!

[Targ Collective]

Twenty two - we have yet hope

Of a Pony Victory

Men might shake their heads and say 'nope'

Yet we're counting down with glee!

[Woodzyowl]

21. The imp accidentally counted up. Unless they meant to, in which case 23.

[Socksy]

Ummmmmm, 22 or 24!

[Balmas]

Twenty-one.

[Zaydos]

Twenty-two loony toons.

[Targ Collective]

And Wacko stuffs one of them in his bag

Twenty-one looney tunes.

Edit: Thought we were on the same side? You should as a courtesy say if you're going non-pony? And if you're just trolling with random values I'll ask Celestia to intervene...

[Cloud Rat]

Twenty-one dead white mages.

[Balmas]

...Nineteen, I think? Stinkweed certainly looks pony...

[Venetian Mask]

Uuuuh... 18, I guess? :smallconfused:

[Dirtytabs]

17, then.

Hey, nice avatar, Imp!

[Cloud Rat]

numbers typing i don't even

I drank too much milk
16

ugh

[Zaydos]

17. Ah a battle like of old, this is refreshing.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Eighteeeeeen

[Balmas]

Seventeen.

[Rain Dragon]

Eighteen. 10010

[Cloud Rat]

Seventeen (-1) Candles, starring Molly Ringwald.

http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/bcgif3.gif

@V: *hugs and kisses*

[Targ Collective]

The count is sixteen then

With Sour Bill back in the fold

Too much milk has been drunk by her

But at least she won't catch a cold. :)

[Balmas]

Fifteen. Words and stuff.

[ts20fan]

14. We're actually decreasing?

[Zaydos]

15 Yes, yes you are.

[Woodzyowl]

16. Owls. They're a thing.

[Targ Collective]

Fifteen! I cry with glee

Counting down to Pony victory!

[Cloud Rat]

fourteen, sorry

[Zaydos]

15? Stinkweed why did you count up?

[BasketOfPuppies]

Sixteen candles was a good movie.

[Targ Collective]

Fifteen again. Stinkweed, don't be sarcastic, that doesn't carry well over the Internet.

EDIT: Eew, necromancy. *casts Cleanse Aura*

[Cloud Rat]

Sixteen necromanticley sour kisses for Targ COllective

[Rain Dragon]

Seventeen. 10001

[BasketOfPuppies]

18. I only have 3 weeks of school left.

[Balmas]

Seventeen. Y'all post too quickly.

[Cloud Rat]

Sixteen candles!

http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/bcgif7.gif

[Rain Dragon]

Seventeen. 10001

[Targ Collective]

Sixteen is the count we see

A little higher than my last count

Still counting down with relative glee

Aiming for a lower amount

[Dirtytabs]

16 Ninja 15
http://pinkie.mylittlefacewhen.com/media/f/img/mlfw10762-Rubber_Chicken_Dance.gif

[Zaydos]

16 Rollercoasters!

[Woodzyowl]

17. Merbleblerble.

[Targ Collective]

Sixteen is the count right now

Holding steady as we do

Pony victory on the horizon? Wow

Serving Equestria in ways true.

[Balmas]

Fifteen. Yay!

[Rain Dragon]

Sixteen. 10000

[Zaydos]

Sighting seriously silly satyrs 17 serpents slithered swiftly.

[Woodzyowl]

18. You all post too quickly!

[Balmas]

Seventeen.

[Dirtytabs]

Sixteen...

[Rain Dragon]

Seventeen.

[Targ Collective]

Sixteen green bottles, sitting on a wall...

[Balmas]

Fifteen ponies in a row.

[Woodzyowl]

16. It's too late for all this.

[Zaydos]

17 This is where it was last I checked.

[Targ Collective]

Sixteen - a bitter fight

Railing against Pony might

[Balmas]

Fifteen again.

[Woodzyowl]

16. *sigh*

[Dirtytabs]

Three fives

[Targ Collective]

Fourteen! See, we're counting down

Ponies! Victory awaits

Let us not then go into frowns.

EDIT: V Okay, that makes it fair - but we'll curbstomp you one day like you did us! Count on it!

[Zaydos]

Fifteen The battle will not end easily. Clawing and scraping down the pit we'll go, if we cannot ascend ever higher.

[BasketOfPuppies]

16. Good god, so many posts.

[Balmas]

Fifteen. Yay!

[Targ Collective]

Fourteen - holding steady - can't do this alone

Come allied Ponies, let's set a downwards tone

V You're telling me. Ponies are so positive we should be counting *up*.

[Rain Dragon]

Fifteen.

Ponies? A downward tone? That's quite odd now I think about it.

[Cloud Rat]

fourteen!!

[Balmas]

Thirteen. What is this madness?

[BasketOfPuppies]

Fourteeeeeeeeen.

[Zaydos]

Fifteen hours of sleep.

[Dirtytabs]

14 is too many hours of sleep

[Venetian Mask]

But is 13?

[BasketOfPuppies]

14 hours is just enough.

[Zaydos]

15 hours is 15 too many.

[Woodzyowl]

16. I'm bach! Or possibly beethoven!

[Mauve Shirt]

17 is a pretty good number.

[Balmas]

Sixteen is how many hours of sleep I wish I'd gotten.

[Zaydos]

17 hours is a long time to sleep straight.

[Woodzyowl]

18:00 is near the current local time.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Nineteeeeeeeeeeeeeen.

[Laughing Dog]

Twenty. I Said twenty!
