And Sildra originally intended to have Smoothie defeat Simmer* so the plot can't end before I do anything.

As a side note, I'd kind of like to call an end for big bad plots, and plots where everypony has to be involved in general. It's pretty much impossible to get everypony involved at this point due to all the conflicting schedules, and it just results in people getting left behind and feeling scorned and cheated.

I just think plots where the speed is "Those who fall behind are left behind" is not at all suited to this RP. This is MLP, not pirates of the Caribbean.

*I don't mind if this changes.

Now, I don't mind big ovar-arching plots, as long as everypony can do them at their own pace.
