>>41083899>fallen oak farm tourare you retarded, the person running the charity is a morally reprehensible person who abuses elderly equines in pain.Imagine if you took a senile male who's clearly in pain from arthritis in the legs, and has no teeth left so he has to eat mush. You wouldn't want to be in that position would you? THEN WHY THE FUCK IS IT OKAY TO DO IT WITH HORSES? Fuck, they even "surpassed le donation goals" and "needed 2 grand" just to build a shitty shack and fences, what type of 2x4 even in the worst case scenario costs 100+ dollars for a couple feet?
>>41082707Unofficial submission for mascot or logo or poster etc, you choose
>>41084662dashie
When I thought about signing up a panel the thread died, now I don't remember what I wanted to sign up
>>41084724Let me help you remember anon. Did it... Involve ponies?
who even gives a fuck about a boring ass online con in 2024? go to mare fair instead
>>41084741Oh yeah, IT DID involve ponies, I remember everything now, it was a shit idea so I'm scrapping it
>>41082707oh yeah, i forgot i ordered one of those shirts from fanny and havent gotten it yet. zamn
>>41084920>just spend hundreds of dollars for a con on a completely different date and don't attend this free one nowDashfag intelligence continues to amaze.
>>41082707shitty con that shouldn’t exist. we already have the winter one we don’t need 2
Ladies and Gentlemen, I'd like to announce our first special guest for /mlp/ con 2024: Brandon The Brony Pony!He's excited to be a part of the fun this year, he'll be in the opening and closing ceremonies that I'll be hosting again, unless someone else signs up to do it and we'll hopefully have a few panels featuring him as well! We're still workshopping what those could be, so if you have any requests or ideas please let us know! There will definitely be a Q&A/interview panel, but I want to do one or a few fun ones with him tooas far as other news for me, I'll be running another Mare-itory Control and HLVRAIMLP again, and I have a few more panel ideas I'm either looking for help with I've learned my lesson about doing panels on my own lol or I'm trying to determine if they're worth itI've been trying to reach out to a few more potential community guests, but so far prospects don't look amazing :/let me know if there's anyone else you'd like to see as a guestand I'd also like to find a person or two that would be interested in meeting up with me for the weekend to help with streaming and panel stuff. Probably won't be at the same scale as marecon hq, but it'd be fun and it'd help me out a lotAlso, if any vendors want their store or product shilled during a panel of mine, (like the billboards during last HLVRAIMLP and stuff) let me know. I'll definitely still call everyone out during opening and closing ceremonies regardless, but if you want some extra shilling outside of those, get in touch with me 0c<
>>41085142My time isn't free
>>41085171Got something more important to do than ponypony? Gay.
>>41085167May god help us all
>>41085167>BrandonIsn't he that retarded eqgfag? Also, do we really need "community" guests? Can't we just bring ourselves?
>>41085271>Can't we just bring ourselves?reserved for mare fair. Tiarawhy is going, for instance.
>>41085279But mare fair isn't /mlp/. I was meaning the Anons, the people /mlp/con is meant to be for and by. Even if it's just the radio graffiti of Anons dialing into the closing ceremonies, it would be more entertaining than the eqgfag or most other "community" guests.
>>41085167>>41085271Are the opening/closing ceremonies going to be kept pony at least?
>>41085345Yes, we'll have a janitorial team ensuring that the opening and closing ceremonies will be kept away from ponies, and anyone on the chat that posts a pony image, pony emote, or a pony name will be banned
>>41085167this is what you get when you keep spec banned
>>41085737Fantastic trade
I miss the guys who did that /mlk/ panel
I will reiterate my rant about how rampant shitposting and lies get spread specifically when it comes to anything here about people coming together to have fun. >implying purp would berryflag and post some nonsense about someone not even the anni stream still cares about
>>41083899>Analyzing Cringe: The "I'm on a Yacht" Music VideoThis is a DRINKING PANEL. You know the vid is shit, so bring your painkillers. I just wanna get sloshed with my lads and have fun dissecting a huge pile of shit, just like my idol, James Rolfe (full head of hair version). I'll play the proper pony Equestria Girls/California Girls video at the end to heal our collective anus.
>>41086383would be cool to see another /mlk/ panel even if it's different anons
>>41086717It should have never been allowed on the schedule. It's presence there is a failure of the con organizers.
>>41087062if you love the music video so much you can just watch it on your own
>>41084473
bedtime boop
>>41083899>The "I'm on a Yacht" Music VideoWill Fluttershy's feet be a topic of discussion?
>>41087688The video will be paused for half the panel length so we can deeply discuss that and all it's intricacies
>>41087688>>>/trash/
>>41087688why
>9
>>41088201Because they hate /mlp/, they hate fim, they hate the con and they want to do it harm in this way.
>>41088030>>41088201>>41088657I genuinely don't wanna believe these posts were made by humans
>>41089126I know mine was.
Let's talk about hooves instead
have a bump
bump
>>41083899I will not be able to attend the con or do my panels on these new dates. what i have planned on that weekend has already been in place for months and i cannot negotiate. i'll try to make a pre-recording for the "making comics" panel, but the "my dinner with anon" panel must certainly be cancelled. ^:(
>>41090808rip, I'm sorry frenchie, we'll miss you
>>41090778
>>41083899>Cuisine Canter: Saddling Up for a Six-Course FeastI hope it's a Pukeanon panel
>>41092034
>>41090808The dates didn't change I didn't open panel apps until the dates were finalized Please let me know when you know what needs to be cancelled
Applejack Appreciation Appointment will be BACK at /mlp/con
What's this? Another food based panel with your favorite chef, Anon? We're having dinner again, this time from the comfort of my home. Maybe the stream will actually work this time
>>41082707EqG Alarm!https://pomf2.lain.la/f/q3t4nj8l.mp4https://files.catbox.moe/z2693z.mp4This is a WiP but I'm very busy these few days so I'm posting it in case it doesn't get finished in time, in which case it's the final version.
>>41094909I especially like how this equates eqg fags to immigrants/illegal refugees
>>41084463>Antithology at 4AM
>>41084463Hey, do you need a script to transform the schedule from google spreadsheet to jsom/html?
>>41094984Why are you bri'ish?
>>41095053Not bri'ish, for britland anons it would be at 2am
>>41095085>Greenwich is one hour ahead of GreenwichWhat in the fuck?
>>41095102Daylight savings
>>41095043What kind of script?I'm probably ok, I've got some very specific HTML I'd need generated
>>41094909did you mean to post this in the antithology thread
>>41093812forgive me for my ignorance, then. the con is on the dates of june 28-30, correct? if this is true, I cannot attend, and need to have the "My Dinner With Anon" panel cancelled. I'll do a pre-recording of the comics panel and send it, though, if I can.
>>41095197It's a nodejs script that I ran every hour to update the site schedule by simply replacing content in index.html. And it already works with your spreadsheet. But it needs credentials.json with google spreadsheet api. It gets the panel name, time, duration, description from the note, and cytube channel. Can also generate json.https://files.catbox.moe/avg5z1.js
Tell me, anon. Are (You) ready for more Horsewords? & (You)?
>>41095524god im so ready
>>41084473Anon you're fucking retarded, 2k for a shelter is reasonably cheap, you're just thinking of material costs, LABOUR is what costs money. Depending on the area a shelter like what fallen oak had made could cost up to 5k+
>>41094661Hey, Chad! Let's GOOOO!!!
Can I cum at any of the panels>>41095524>(You)As in me?Wow.Nigga I'm fucking ready, let's go.
>>41094661>another cooking anonneat!
>>41084463>so much empty space
>>41095863Especially (You)!>>41095779It's gonna be great, three panels in and we're almost ready to start talking about writing. Presuming Marefair happens as planned, we'll have a writing panel that is finally going to have writing and story telling and mare titties and who knows what else.
I'm thinking of organizing another late night Deep Rock Galactic stream, because the pony mods for it have gotten some updates.
Hi. Im a nigger. Can I make a panel? Or is this a no nigger zone?
>>41084662what pony is that anyway>>41096356we don't discriminate based on your niggertude my friend
>>41096342that'd be cool
>>41096356Make it.
>>41096356Just don't be a zigger about it and do it.
Hehe shit ill make a striped panel then. you whites already love it when i ve talkin about it at the cons.
What's your favorite /mlp/con memory?

>>41102376chill nigga we still a month out
>>41102376Believe in the last minute panels. I'm trying to figure out if I can pull mine off.
>>41102376I'll be trying to look into something this weekend. Really should have started sooner, but that tends to be how it usually goes.
>>41102109
>>41103171
>>41102376Don't worry, I'll take over the entirety of sunday with my panel "How to better optimize your secret discord cabal to take over the board" it's gonna be a very useful workshop and all the hottest names on the secret dscord cabal industry will be there, including the Mossad agents

>>41109954oh shit im not prepared
>>41109954Eagerly waiting
>>41109954cant wait
>>41110272
>>41109954I have yet to start working on my thing
>>41111834
>>41102376Make a pannel then, fill up the space
>>41113344this
I'm hopeful we'll get more panels than last year
Outside of Horsewords, is there any sort of writing-themed panel that anons would be interested in? The most I can think of is coming up with a story with a few crowd thrown prompts but it might just turn into a bedtime story hour. Or something incomprehensible by design and committee.
>>41113949A panel about writing a story/greentext alongside anons/chat? Sounds interesting
>>41114255It does but given the nature of it, it wouldn't exactly be a green. An oral story has it's own pacing to it. It could at least be good to see how you can just start a story from a point and let it roll along. It'll be impossible to prepare for which will help the point of how little you need to get something started. The more you get going, the more you see the paths you can take and eventually have at least a basic map of the landscape.
>>41082707Is it just me, or is the spreadsheet schedule the one from last year?
>>41114366not sure if you're looking at the wrong schedule or making a joke about panels that repeat every year>>41084463 is the correct schedule
>>41113344I did. It's on the list.
>the schedule is so empty the minecraft server might get activity if it comes backWould there be any interest in it? Ideally it would be the version from uhhhhhh2021? 2022? Whichever year the hidden temple was added and actually worked.
>>41084463Horsewords is super duper late.
>>41115355It's kinda what they requested Evening when everyone's intoxicated, preferably last panel
can I host a panel if I>speak like a spastic>have the charisma of chrysalis>possess an internet connection that's on the bad side of flaky most days?
>>41116637Chrysalis is pretty charismatic so at least you got that going for you.
bump>>41116637sounds kino
>>41116247
Might have to scrap some of the high effort panel ideas I had (that I haven't put in apps for), ripI could definitely do a bunch more low effort ones that don't require much prep time lol. if we need time filled I can fill it, as long as you guys aren't sick of meI'll give other people a chance to sign up before I bloat the schedule thoughonce again HLVRAIMLP is taking up the majority of my planning efforts ;_;Was going to spend the holiday on Monday planning out and setting up for panels, but just that one took up almost the whole dayI think it'll be worth it though \0c0/
>>41116637I've seen worse, be entertaining enough and people will like it
>>41118745>not treating /mlp/con like having two simultaneous full time jobs that both require mandatory overtime and leave you with as little as four hours to go home, sleep, eat, shower, and go back to workAre you even committed?
>>41119629EqG is being forced into the antithology by a clearly biased shimmerfag organizer.
>>41119639I didn't participate in this antithology specifically because of the barbiefag OP. Very disappointing to see nonetheless even if it isn't surprising. We'll have to make a cleaned version after the con. I wouldn't be surprised if that barbiefag is also responsible for the other barbie-faggotry being forced upon the con.
>>41119779>>41119639Cool drama bro. Keep it in your thread.Is there another gurren lagaan ponification being kept out of the antithology again this year?
>>41120060OP is disregarding the rules in the OP and adding EQG clips to the antithology.
>>41120060There was a need to bring attention to the issue as lots don't lurk the antithology thread to avoid spoilers. Thankfully, the problem is resolved now.
>>41119779You weren't going to participate anyway
Will the cytube have that feature the anni stream does where you can choose from different providers? I don't know how many belarussians and normalrussians we have here, but the YT copy of my panel won't be available to them.
>>41121875
>>41119639Good, Antithology deserves it for the bullshit they pulled last year

How long does it take for an account to be verified on pony tube usually?
>>41125031Uhhh sorry I can do it now Kinda been out of pocket but usually I get to it within 1-3 days
