@conjure !calgarybronies It depends on the size of our next meeting, but having short 5-minute matches with switch-outs definitely helps with that. It's only a suggestion right now though.

!calgarybronies Name tags are on the way, expect 'em to be finished by the end of the day.

!calgarybronies It is done! I'm not 100% satisfied with it, but no artist truly is as far as I know. Here ya go, in all it's shiny glory. http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b374/Fawkes24/BronyBanner-1.png I've got a Wii and four 'motes but that's about all I got, I could supply that if there's enough interest. But I don't want to have it going and half the ponies there aren't interested and have nothing to do. But it might be a good thing to do. Party games can be fun after all.
-
@conjure !calgarybronies Ahhh, I see where you're going with this.

@conjure !calgarybronies Smart idea actually, I may just do that, we can give out honourary mane six nametags to people who are most like the characters! Except I think we lack the book nerd and western stereotype.

@autumnfrost !calgarybronies I think a hug from me is much more awkward and creepy then somepony like you. But I still tried anyways! Maybe it's the beard...
Monday, 01-Aug-11 19:12:44 UTC from web -
@moneybags !calgarybronies That's kinda where the idea sparked from. Since we still need to remember names -> Name tags! -> Then she came to mind and I threw that together. I feel bad I never did catch her name.

!calgarybronies More posting, because I can! This may be taking our little Fluttershy thing too far, but I wanted to take a break from other stuff and came up with this idea, thought it was pretty fun. Maybe I'm taking it too far, in which case I'm sorry. But give it a look. http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b374/Fawkes24/Flutterhi.png

!calgarybronies Random thought because I clearly don't post enough. There was a post on EqD for some meetup having brought Super Smash Bros. to it. I thought about it and if ponies here enjoy games a good bit, that might be worth considering. It could be a lot of fun with a lot of us to switch out. Just a thought is all.

@darcyblue !calgarybronies Oh, don't worry about it. I'm just being critical about my designs and asking for opinions, yours works just fine. It was my own initiative that I wanted to make this one. I just saw the vector of Applejack and it all kinda clicked. And I'm sorry to hear about your sleeping issues and everything else. If you ever need to vent stuff, we'll be more then happy to listen. Hay, I'll even offer hugs! (Nobody wanted my hugs at the meetup, I was slightly disappointed. :P)
-
!calgarybronies Progress has been made on the banner. I'll have to get some fancy borders and lettering then I'll repost and see what you ponies think. I'm open to any ideas on colours to go on the sides and the words though, before I get to work on it tomorrow morning. Possibly a red/white scheme... Throw me some ideas if you've got any! This is a group thing after all.
-
@sterlingpoint !calgarybronies I just like 'em 'cause they're easy to recolour if needed. That and they look nice. I've never had the issues with people thing since I don't do anything people would want. :P
Monday, 01-Aug-11 04:44:50 UTC from web -
@sterlingpoint !calgarybronies But... I love vectors...
Monday, 01-Aug-11 03:59:47 UTC from web -
@autumnfrost !calgarybronies You're correct. The fact that it's a vector makes it very easy to change colours. And yeah, I used the pen tool, but the image is small enough it's more of a one pixel space for the lines. I can improve it here and there, straighten some lines, but the buildings still look flat. But I don't want to spend hours doing it window by window either. :P
-
@yodelerty !calgarybronies Oh yes, definitely planning on that. Like I said, it's still early WIP, there's no way I'd call this finished, lots of work to do on it still.
Monday, 01-Aug-11 02:23:48 UTC from web -
!calgarybronies The cityscape in the back doesn't look as good as I would like. I tried to give it some vectoring but Photoshop isn't great on that, and neither am I, it looks a little rough. If anyone has any ideas on improving it, please do share.
Monday, 01-Aug-11 01:56:42 UTC from web -
@iarelemons !calgarybronies I definitely did consider it, but trying to find a proper outline would take some work. And you have to admit, Applejack wouldn't be Applejack without her signature hat.
Monday, 01-Aug-11 01:53:36 UTC from web -
!calgarybronies Alright bronies, this is what I've been working on for a decent part of the day. What say you to a new banner? It's still early WIP so there's much more work to be done on it as I'm sure you'll be able to tell. http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b374/Fawkes24/BronyBanner.png

!calgarybronies *cue Rarity's "Ideeeeeeeeeeaaaa! voice clip* Brilliant idea, oh, you're all going to love this. I'm going to get to work now!

@lonehowler !calgarybronies And some tasty gummy candies they were. Don't worry about double posting, I think I've gone up to triple posting so far just kinda adding stuff onto my first post. An edit button would be great but that's not how the system works.
Sunday, 31-Jul-11 15:45:26 UTC from web -
@darcyblue !calgarybronies I've been playing around with Photoshop lately, I may try to build a new one for ya. I should have time tomorrow.
-
@darcyblue !calgarybronies I'll see what I can find, this new one leaves a lot of blank space on the sides, it looks a little odd on a widescreen monitor like mine.
Sunday, 31-Jul-11 06:01:19 UTC from web -
!calgarybronies I'll try to bring some more stuff next time then some music we didn't even play. :P Nicknames can be pretty awesome if a small group like ours. Shame I don't fit under anything. Hopefully nopony minded by somewhat terrible singing.
Sunday, 31-Jul-11 05:56:34 UTC from web -
@yodelerty !calgarybronies Yep, two weeks from now we'll meet back again for more fun times.
Sunday, 31-Jul-11 04:35:31 UTC from web -
!calgarybronies Haha, my face in that photo is so terrible. But I had a blast, thanks everyone for making this night awesome. (the best night ever?!)
Sunday, 31-Jul-11 04:33:20 UTC from web -
@sterlingpoint !calgarybronies They've posted other meetup photos so you never know, it would be really neat, if I can get a shot or two, I can send an email and see what happens.
Saturday, 30-Jul-11 19:56:06 UTC from web -
!calgarybronies Just so long as I get a picture later, I'm happy. :D I can provide my email or something while we're there. I really want one.
Saturday, 30-Jul-11 19:01:09 UTC from web -
@autumnfrost !calgarybronies I was actually just considering asking about that. I wouldn't mind a picture, maybe we could even send it to Seth over at EqD and try to get a post on it, some people may notice it.
-
!calgarybronies Alright, after spending 4 hours this morning gathering and compiling music, I now have an impressive 114 pony tracks! From official to original to mashups to remixes, I think I've something for everypony! In addition, if we have an internet connection there and don't have the proper karaoke stuff like we wanted, InfinityDash's YouTube channel has almost every song in a karoake, except for Art of the Dress, which I have right here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yDW_v_dCXQ And the playlist for InfinityDash's channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/infinitydash#p/c/5B122EF84768B138
-
!calgarybronies Also, the speakers I was planning to bring uses a USB port as a power supply so hopefully the laptop has an extra port so we can just play music anytime, otherwise we'll have to find an alternative.
