OK, here's a better question: If the airing of season 3 was dependant on my shutting down the site, what would you have me do? Friends or Ponies guys?

@ceruleanspark Eh, I could live without a third season. :/
Thursday, 12-Apr-12 13:29:20 UTC from StatusNet Android -
@ceruleanspark I've actually gotta say friends, we've already got two seasons
Thursday, 12-Apr-12 13:29:34 UTC from web -
@ceruleanspark Again, stand your ground because it's an obvious scam. Hasbro is not going to base their decision of whether or not to air season 3 on if this site exists. They will base it on how well the show is doing, in terms of both ratings and toy sales.

@toksyuryel Dude, these are hypothetical situations, not things that would actually happen.
Thursday, 12-Apr-12 13:30:34 UTC from StatusNet Android-
@redenchilada Hypothetical situations should at least be plausible, otherwise debating them makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

@toksyuryel Who would win in a street fight between a jellyfish and a frankenstein?
Thursday, 12-Apr-12 13:32:36 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin What kind of jellyfish.
Thursday, 12-Apr-12 13:33:42 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark Chrysaora fuscescens.

@thelastgherkin The jellyfish would probably be dead before the fight started, and if not very soon after so I'm calling this one for the frankenstein.
Thursday, 12-Apr-12 13:33:53 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel But the frankenstein would already be dead too! That's like the one requirement of being a frankenstein.
Thursday, 12-Apr-12 13:36:33 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin But Frankenstein is just a scientist...
Thursday, 12-Apr-12 13:37:29 UTC from web-
@trister You think you're being smarter than me, but I'm paraphrasing a film that also uses "a dracula" as a common noun.
Thursday, 12-Apr-12 13:38:38 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin a Dracula? What film is this, it sounds... Unique
Thursday, 12-Apr-12 13:39:51 UTC from web-
@trister The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! opens a scene of a man being popular in a bar with the sentence "And that's why, in a street fight, a shark would win against a dracula." Later on, another character says the same thing verbatim as callback humour, but adds something to the effect of "But a jellyfish and a frankenstein is a completely different story."
Thursday, 12-Apr-12 13:42:44 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin Ah, I see. Well if it's for comedic purposes that's fine. I shoul probably see thr film at some point
Thursday, 12-Apr-12 13:43:36 UTC from web-
@trister Yes you should. Also, surely the whole purpose of this conversation was for comedic purposes and thus OK from the start?

@thelastgherkin There's a subtle but important difference between "dead" and "undead".
Thursday, 12-Apr-12 13:37:37 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel What if the jellyfish was also undead
Thursday, 12-Apr-12 13:39:28 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin It would soon become just dead.

@thelastgherkin I'm gonna have to be a pedant here and point out that Frankenstein was the doctor, and that the monster had no name.

@ceruleanspark Wasn't the monster Prometeus?
Thursday, 12-Apr-12 13:41:05 UTC from web-
@nerthos Prometheus was a Titan, the monster in Frankenstein is never named
Thursday, 12-Apr-12 13:42:02 UTC from web-
@trister Oh, messed up something then :D
Thursday, 12-Apr-12 13:42:50 UTC from web-
@nerthos It might have been called Prometheus in some adaptation, its been re-worked so many times now
Thursday, 12-Apr-12 13:45:42 UTC from web-
@trister That's probably the case.
Thursday, 12-Apr-12 13:46:25 UTC from web -
@trister That's probably the case.
Thursday, 12-Apr-12 13:47:50 UTC from web-
@nerthos Ah! The novel was originally called "Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus". The mythical Prometheus created mankind. So the subtitle refers to Victor's playing God.
Thursday, 12-Apr-12 13:52:18 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin Oh, so that's why I was confused :D Thank you, good pickle!

@trister I thought it was mainly 'the creature'?
Thursday, 12-Apr-12 13:43:09 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin It's called all sorts of things, like monster, horror, wretch, creature, but never actually named

@toksyuryel But still. Drop the "it's obviously a scammer" bit and pretend it's a legitimate proposal. You don't know how to hypothetical situation at _all_.
Thursday, 12-Apr-12 13:33:00 UTC from StatusNet Android-
@redenchilada If it really were a legit proposal, then I'd choose the site over the show because Hasbro would have proven they do not have the ability to maintain the quality of the show (if this is how they treat the fan community, it's not a stretch to see them treating the show's creators in an equally idiotic way)- the quality being what drew us to it in the first place, it would no longer have a reason to exist.
Thursday, 12-Apr-12 13:37:21 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel See, that's how you speculate!

@toksyuryel And if they do base it on the site we take over the studio and make our own episodes

@ceruleanspark RDN, since I spend here hours every day, and I only spend 22 minutes a week watching ponies.
