>>42759814 Previous threadWelcome to the continuation of the 2025 Princess /mlp/ pageant, where your favorite ladies from across all aspects of the franchise be it canon, fandom, or memery are judged and selected for who is most deserving of being crowned board royalty.We are finally here at the end. After nine days and 256 initial entries to start, we are down to our final two. Two mares left who still have a shot to win the crown of princesshood that is Miss /mlp/ 2025>From the left bracket, entering the finals for the first time, she is one of the first mares we see in G4, a student of Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns and an old acquaintance of Twilight Sparkle herself. Even after a long time apart, she proves an enthused and bubbly friend eager to amend old bonds. As a background pony, the fandom took to her familiar gel-like colors and gave her a passion for dentistry and bright sparkly teeth. She's the mare with the stare, it's MINUETTE!>From the right bracket, likewise making her finals debut, a spontaneous pink mare who needs no introduction (but shall receive one anyway). She is FUN given pony form, a never ending fountain of mirth who makes it her mission to see everyone put on a happy face. She's an expert baker and party planner, has every birthday of her friends memorized, and often sees the physical limitations of reality as purely optional. Get ready to smile smile smile, it's the Element of Laughter, PINKIE PIE!Both of these wonderful mares clearly have a passion for bright, beaming, healthy looking grins, but only one can claim the final honor of Miss /mlp/. Who will bring more smiles by rounds end? And who will take the esteemed prize of third place between our rosy florist Roseluck and the beloved mother Pear Butter? Who will take home the honor of our six Mini-Brackets, and who won this year's Royal Round Robin? All of this will be decided below!Finals Poll: https://forms.gle/VMhnYquw98g2Sm8S9https://forms.gle/VMhnYquw98g2Sm8S9https://forms.gle/VMhnYquw98g2Sm8S9Time until the Finals conclude: https://countingdownto.com/countdown-pages/KjDGbWdfCurrent Mini-Bracket Standings: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-VTJEmaxGbp_mF73h5IylJWp0EFERMgN5hzgGMKCNlo/Results of Qualifiers: https://forms.gle/q8Jp4CaKBFxRsffHAResults of Round of 256: https://forms.gle/yZ5cqcRjWpNbnX7j8Results of Round of 128: https://forms.gle/K2n1NxQWL23VmRqi8Results of Round of 64: https://forms.gle/6JrUngQvHtCJafZw8Results of Round of 32: https://forms.gle/3cPX5YvD5K8P3XzDAResults of Round of 16: https://forms.gle/788YFSGbKo4LqgcXAResults of Quarterfinals: https://forms.gle/W19VSUcpqAaHiSrM7Results of Semifinals: https://forms.gle/ZrzWjR54ddVC8wGr9And of course, feel free to root/shitpost for any of your favorite girls below!

>>42761980You are an evil rat.
>>42761973>>42761976>>42761980>>42761981thanks but im voting for noneim voting noone. im conceding my vote
Oh hey, the questions changed
>>42761983Wow congrats!
>>42761973do I need to resubmit security questions or is it gud? I voted before faggot leaked em.
>>42761983this is the most stereotypical trixiefag post I've ever seen and I mean that in a good way, I'm kekking
>>42761973>>42761992Goddammit, I spent ages looking for the answers, do I have to do this shit again if I answered before that post leaked the answers?
>>42761992I'm going to leak them again
>>42761973oh come on these new questions are piss easy
>>42762000why do you hate pageant anon so much? you're just making his job more tedious.
Not voting for Pinkie Pie
>>42761992At least all of the questions are super easy this time.
>>42761973I like seeing them hug
Voting for Pinkie Pie
>>42761973I repeatwe should have repeated the quarterfinals vote but this place is full of retardsits clear now that shit was rigged, that people were voting to fuck up the enjoyment of the tournament but we, as always, do nothing
>>42762008As with anyone who's frustrated with something on 4chan, they'd rather see it shut down entirely than it continue to frustrate them.
>>42761980>ponkfag pretending to be an overzealous minnyfag so people vote for ponk out of guiltI know your games
>>42762016dude you're so fucking dumb>there's no way they'll vote the same way twice hehe
>>42762008I don't like Pinkie Pie.
Abstaining
So why did Lyra lose to Fluttershy? Where did all the Flutterfags go?
>>42762015LET'S KEEP UP THE ENERGY RARIBRO
>>42761992I already submitted my form. Do I need to resubmit with correct answers to the new questions? Or is it enough to get correct answers to the old questions? Also, why?
>>42762018>post was deletedNope, just an offboarder who can't read the room
FIRST UNICORNWINNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER
>>42762024Hell
Voting for dashie
>>42762028>Why?I posted the answers (I am evil)
>>42762022Pageant Anon is not Pinkie Pie.
>>42762030nyo, that would be my wife
>>42762016>>42762021This.>The first vote was obviously rigged, so we need to have a SECOND vote. It definitely wont be rigged too!Seriously, tf is a revote supposed to do?
>>42762040how do we know that though
>>42762021tard it wouldn't last 24 hours and its better to have it again than doing nothingit's clear that the tournament was screwed and retards like you are just taking it up the ass
>>42762026Don't fall for it Raribros. Ponkfags are the ones who like to vote out your waifu in humiliating ways for fun
>>42762045It confirms prior results. The total votes is already going down so the fags mutli-voting are getting sleepy or lazy. It should at least confirm the same percentage or margin.
>>42762058It'll confirm you're such a dupe you're willing to let people jerk you around for 24 hours.
Voting Pinkie Pie then voting Minuette on my alt because I don't want to choose
Voting Minuette then voting Pinkie Pie on my alt to counteract that guy's votes
>>42762055What no I've always felt Rarity was overhated and misunderstood by a lot of fans. I'm a Ponkfag yeah but if anyone is Rarityposting I'm always gonna be in support of it.
>>42762051>it wouldn't last 24 hoursGreat, so we'll just eliminate the votes from everyone that isn't lurking the thread 24 hours a day and keep the votes from riggers who are obviously paying attention.
>>42762058>The total votes is already going downThis can easily be explained by Anons dipping after their preferred winner is voted out. Contest losing voters as it goes on isn't really a sure proof sign of rigging.
>>42762061>>42762064travelling back in time and voting for every pony once on more than two hundred accounts to accomplish absolutely nothing and accomplish absolutely everything at the same time
>>42762055I unironically voted for Rarity over Pinkie because I thought it would be the funnier outcome
>>42762070It also is very likely explained by the vibes in here being absolutely rancid.
>>42762070That trend hasn't happened in the last 5 years of this contest. Certainly not by 50 fucking votes.
>>42762045going by that retarded nigger logic why should we have miss /mlp/ at all? what is stopping them from rigging next year? and the next after that or the next one and so on?dont you see it retard? its to see if there is any sort of consistency, you stupid faggot and to have some transparency when its obvious to anyone that something happened to end up with those results
>>42762073There was posting from Raribros back at the start about how they "wanted" her to lose because imagining her reaction was funny. I did kind of want Pinkie to at least beat her in best mane because her winning a town vote over Rarity for best mane, and her getting second place as a result could unironically be an entertaining episode of the show.I ran it as a scenario in EquestrAI and was not disappointed by how entertaining and funny it was and how each character played into it in a very believable way.
It’s always fun to pick on the class punching bag until you need their support.
>>42762084Wtf ponkbros...
>>42762066>great so i will make a retarded worse case scenario in my head to try and prove my point that getting fucked in the ass by obvious riggers is the better optioni mean i guess if you are so retarded to belive that
>>42762030So is this a confirmation that the background trannies are offboard riggers yet?
>The beginning, but not the end. The alpha, but not the omega>Fury that has long been abandoned, yet the same flame is carried by different names>The cartoon cat of yore who never asked for thisI won't directly spoil the answers this time
>>42762079But if you want to get rid of rigging, immediately having a second vote isn't going to accomplish anything. How do you know it wasn't rigged a second time if the result is the same? What if the result does change, how do you know THAT result isn't the rigged one? Do you have a third vote to decide?Simply having another vote doesn't actually fix anything.
>>42762066If you don't check or post in the thread in 24 hours you miss the entire round dummy.
>>42762070it was never this bad fagwhy are you so against actually having a proper tournament and results?
>>42762097FINE I ADMIT IT I RIGGED FUCKING EVERYTHINGIT WAS JUST MELITERALLY ALL ME I RUINED IT ALL BECAUSE I GOT KINDA BORED AND REMEMBERED I HAVE LIKE FIVE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED SIXTY SEVEN PLUS FIVE EXTRA GOOGLE ACCOUNTSI DID THISI FUCKING RUINED THE PAGEANTI DON'T EVEN WATCH THE SHOW, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT A HORSE IS, MY DAD JUST FUCKING WORKS AT NINTENDOI DID THIS
>>42762105based sugar eater
>>42762105
>>42762097I'm not. I'm just trying to get us in the direction of workable solutions. Revotes with the same methodology wont eliminate the possibility of rigging, and a round having less votes than previous ones isn't really fool proof enough to prove anything.
>>42762094so yes, lets never have a miss /mlp/ tournament ever because, your words, how can you know it wasn't riggedif it repeats again same percentages, same number of votes, fine, people can shut their mouths. the reason to repeat the vote is because the results are suspicious as fuck in the first place retard
>>42762091Twilight is an alicorn. She also smells bad.
>>42762036I was hopeful that appulfags out of all people would not resort to cheap sophistry.>And you've now admitted that there are interactions that were started by Rarity.No, at that point she had good reasons to seek some petty revenge. She's not a saint but she didn't start it.>The whole shit flinging there is also started by herthe first real dare is from Applejack after Twilight clarifies that it's something the other pony has to do. the two dares before that are banter and something that friends could do without a problem. but if you consider them real dares you also have to accept that AJ is a bitch who doesn't actually do it so pick your poison
>>42762105I know it couldn't have been easy to admit to your mistake. To reward you for your honesty, I shall vote for Pinkie Pie.
>>42761973>Ponkfags think they can beat MinuetteLol. Lmao. Why are we even having this vote?
>>42762127So that I can rig it.
This was such a boring pageant.Minuette has nothing to her other then maybe one scene where she yaps to (you) on screenPinkie is just OK, she’s all excited and happy, but that doesn’t appeal to me and I can see why some people find it grating or annoying. Who were >((you)) hoping was gonna win? Me personally, Sweetie Belle/Sweetie Bot or Milky Way
>>42761973dont know a single of these fucking questions. It's over.
>>42762114>I'm notyou are, why are you so fucking retatded then when there is no possible way to explain the outcome?>get us in the direction of a workable solutionclearly you aren't because we moved on and we are in the finals, im not talking about next year im talking about now>won't eliminate the possibility of rigginbut it also doesn't eliminate of having an actual outcome that doesn't look suspicious

>>42762141
>>42762132Rarity
>>42762123It's not sophistry dude, you aren't espousing the same position you were before. You were wrong about the events of the episode.>No, at that point she had good reasons to seek some petty revenge. She's not a saint but she didn't start it.But you're just making excuses now, excuses that could just as easily apply to AJ. Rarity is absolutely starting it in the bed scene.>the first real dare is from Applejack after Twilight clarifies that it's something the other pony has to doAnd the argument leading up to that moment was started by Rarity throwing shade at AJ completely unprovoked. If we're going to say Rarity is justified in acting like a bitch due to an earlier offense, then AJ is also justified here.At this point, you're just saying that Rarity is justified in instigating arguments for slights against her in previous arguments that were also started by her, and therefore AJ is the only one instigating arguments. Rarity gets payback on the dares in that very scene anyway, like I said before, so it still doesn't follow as an excuse for her starting shit in later scenes.How is any of this sophistry?
You know things are going well when there's been multiple episode discussions.
>>42762150He's right. I knew all the answers before they were changed, now I only know one.
>>42762144with zoomers being complete spergs about it I expect the pendulum to swing and gen alpha to become filly fiddlers par excellence so just wait for the 25th anni
>>42762163unc is ts fr?
>>42762132Pinkie or Celestia were my picks for this year. I would like Lyra to win but it didn't feel like her year in general. RIP to the 50 flutterfags that knocked her out just to lose to Minuette, denying another mint-off, hope you fags shit your pants and fall on a dick.
>>42762159
>>42762159Thanks, voting Pinkie
>>42762159cunny...
Reminder not to spoonfeed retards, they're the reason shit horses like Roseluck advanced further than they should have.
>>42762159>Which populate less then 10% of the board by now.Surely if there's going to be questions it's better for them to be easier for oldfags than for newfags.
Time to change them again, PageantAnon.Honestly if you just throw the towel in after this year, I don't blame you. The current state of /mlp/ doesn't deserve shit.
So who exactly is Roseluck, again?
>>42761973PageantAnon it happened again >>42762159
>>42762168i want to fuck this filly
>>42762175Well lemme know when they change again so I can come up with more shitty autistic riddles
>>42762175>>42762177DANCE PUPPETS, DANCE!
>>42762159still willingly choosing to believe you just really want to help Anons vote haha
>>42762176You should know her, she did knock (You) out after all.
Okay, that's it. I'm not changing the security questions again. I'm giving up. This is the end of the pageant. I'm unilaterally declaring this year's winner, and the final Miss /mlp/ of all time, to be Fluttershy.
>>42762193YES

>>42761983>ponkfags and background ponyfags thinking they could win>riggers thinking they have any power>anons forgetting who runs this boardENTERMISS /MLP/ 2025
>>42762207Based. What's the next step of your master plan?
>>42762208>sugar morning
This is all just a temporary dark spot on the pageant. Next year will be what we make of it. With that said, does anyone want to get a little preliminary discussion going about the possible solutions in the questionnaire? There are a few I think are worth discussing, at least.>pre-pageant Voter Registration being implemented? Namely, a separate thread ahead of the tourney in which Anons must fill out a form and receive an ID that they will require for their vote to be countedAnons could probably fill it out multiple times to get extra votes, but I think most faggots don’t consider cheating until shit gets serious. This could be a great way to prevent spur-of-the-moment rigging. More importantly, it’d help purge offboarder scum from our pageants, as long as the poll stays up long enough for most regulars to find it. We wouldn’t have to constantly deal with offboarders coming here begging for answers to the questions, and PageantAnon wouldn’t have to worry as much about changing the questions when faggots spoonfeed because their wife lost.>Would you be interested in a new website being made outside of Google Forms for the use of hosting Miss /mlp/ and its polls?I’d definitely be in favor if PageantAnon can pull it off and figure out a way to prevent multi-voting. So either by using the PC IDs, the registered IDs, both, or something else.I also think it’s time to either go back to a seeded 128 bracket or try out the two-tournament system. It’s not very exciting when both finalists had only one or two tough matchups each before reaching the finale.
>>42762212Not seeing inane questions that are hardly related to core board culture.Why does some false flag post using a kids email and its subsequent porn spamming of that email and its Facebook account matter historically? It’s probably the least memorable thing, it’s the equivalent of forcing people to desuarchive search /opg/ tier drama as a entry question The dance puppets dance thing is a dead meme, same as the >who carries our sins question. Only relevant one is barneyfag due to the cross board seethe and it being tied directly into the boards history but that’s about it.
>>42762175Based on the amount of Shartyposting I've seen, I'm willing to guess that at least some of this chaos is people whose goal is explicitly that.
>>42762211Trixie winning miss /mlp/ 2026 would be the only thing to restore the pageant's glory
>>42762214
>>42762224Did you just blow in from stupid town?
>>42762224>it’s the equivalent of forcing people to desuarchive search /opg/ tier drama as a entry questionopg drama would be objectively more relevant at least since its about people who are still here.
>>42762220>pre-pageant Voter Registration being implemented?Expect even lower voter counts. This isn’t even palpable survey/board info data anyways and most of the time people vote for mares they don’t know just because. >Would you be interested in a new website being made outside of Google Forms for the use of hosting Miss /mlp/ and its polls?Who’s paying for the hosting? >PageantAnon wouldn’t have to worry as much about changing the questions when faggots spoonfeed because their wife lost.Because you “oldfags” provide the easiest (you)’s when someone does it, either act like a oldfag or stop pretending to be one.
>>42762230giwtwm
>>42762196based
>>42762233>Expect even lower voter counts.Quality over quantity, in my opinion. I’d rather have 100 votes from individual anons than a 350 coming from offboarders or anons with multiple google accounts.>Who’s paying for the hosting? It was PageantAnon’s idea, and he has a job, so presumably him?
And now here is how the Semifinals would have been adjusted accounting for the 29 that failed verification would have been left in1. Minuette vs. Roseluck ( 57.4 - 42.6 )18 vs 11 removed, would have widened gap2. Pinkie Pie vs. Pear Butter ( 51.5 - 48.5 )14 vs 15 removed, narrows gap but not enough>Best Background PonyBerry Punch vs. Vinyl Scratch ( 51.7 - 48.3 )15 vs 12 removed, would have widened gapLyra Heartstrings vs. Octavia Melody ( 62 - 38 )>Best OC16 vs 10 removed, would have widened gapPrincess Molestia vs. Wheely Bopper ( 54.3 - 45.7 )18 vs 8 removed, would have widened gapMilky Way vs. Numget ( 59.3 - 40.7 )13 vs 14 removed, narrows gap but not enough>Best PrincessPrincess Celestia vs. Flurry Heart ( 76.9 - 23.1 )23 vs 4 removed, would have widened gap>Best MILFPear Butter vs. Stellar Flare ( 58.6 - 41.4 )11 vs 15 removed, narrows gap but not enough>Best ManeNightmare Moon vs. Princess Celestia ( 50.5 - 49.5 )13 vs 14 removed, narrows gap but not enough>Best BitchLimestone Pie vs. Flutterbitch ( 59.3 - 40.7 )11 vs 15 removed, narrows gap but not enough>The biggest win of the round goes to Minuette's win over Roseluck, taking it at 57.4% at a 194 to 144 gap>In the Mini-Brackets, an even bigger win was had by Princess Celestia in the Best Princess Bracket over Flurry Heart, coming out with a strong 76.9% margin 250 to 75>The narrowest win of the round goes to Pinkie Pie, who only came out 10 points ahead over Pear Butter in her 51.5% margin>In the Mini-Brackets an even closer win was had by Nightmare Moon in the bracket for Best Mane, beating out Celestia by only 3 points in a 50.5% win>Pinkie represents the highest Seed remaining in this round at Seed #18 while Minuette is Seed #21. Verity still narrowly holds onto the record for the highest Seed to make it to the Finals at Seed 23>This is the first time either Minuette or Pinkie have made it to the final round of Miss /mlp/. >Minuette is only the 2nd Background Pony to make it this far after Derpy>Pinkie Pie is our 5th Mane 6 (leaving only Rarity to make it to the Finals) and the first Mane 6th to go up against someone who was not also a Mane 6th since the 2020 Finals with Rainbow Dash vs Luna.>>42761516By your request I also have a tally of how Quarterfinals were affected by the votes that did not answer any Mini-Brackets. There are a total of 42 responses that'd be removed if we didn't include any that did not fill out at least one mini-bracket question>Minuette vs Fluttershy (135 vs 171)13 vs 29 removed, would have widened gap by 16 votes>Roseluck vs Cheerilee (156 vs 149)27 vs 15 removed, would have narrowed gap by 12 points but not enough to win>Princess Celestia vs Pear Butter (129 vs 177)33 vs 9 removed, would have widened gap by 24 votes>Octavia Melody vs Pinkie Pie (151 vs 154)18 vs 24 removed, would have narrowed gap by 6 votes to be only 3 apart but not enough to win.
>>42762220I answered pretty extensively about all of this in the questionnaire. I think voter ID would be good if it was a way to stop multi-voting, but ultimately I think it should also be easy to obtain and you shouldn't be permanently locked out of it. People coming in and voting spur-of-the-moment because they found the tourney is part of the community magic, and, shit, I can't even say I mind offboarders coming around so long as they're enjoying themselves and not just trying to sabotage things. Granted I've never been one to have personal bogeymen. So long as the changes keep the pageant fun I'm all for it. I can't help but feel like the bitter attitude some anons have was the more noticeable thing this year (the ones banting for fun aside, those guys are a blast). I think you should keep the pageant balanced on a fine line between fun and serious; too fun and pointless and it doesn't mean anything anymore, and too serious and it loses the magic and becomes tryhard and strict just for the sake of appeasing those who tend to be more pessimistic about their fellow anons. This pageant was really fun and I had a blast with it. I also think randomized brackets might damage the sort of natural story that comes about from a pony moving through things and facing opponents organically through votes rather than randomly.
>>42762247>>42762233I would indeed be willing to pay for hosting myself if we went the route of a new website. I do not know what the costs entail but given it's mainly used 1-2 months of the year I imagine it'd be affordable.
>>42762220>Pre pageant registrationWhat stops fags from registering multiple emails? multiple votes from the get go? That helps nothing imho
>>42762248>In the Mini-Brackets, an even bigger win was had by Princess Celestia in the Best Princess Bracket over Flurry Heart, coming out with a strong 76.9% margin 250 to 75Damn, that baby really doesn't have much draw.
>>42762220The truth is that no solution is impervious to enough effort and autism. And going beyond google accounts is breaking with the anonymous, 4chan nature of it all. It's more the culture and spirit of the board that determines it. If this were back in 2012 or 2013, it'd go like the old best pony Hub poll. Rigged to ever loving shit, to comical levels. 2019 and the few years after were kind of nice for a bit, the overall sentiment was positive enough and it seemed most anons were willing to respect it to not go too overboard with rigging or rigging accusations. /mlp/ has clearly degraded since then, rotten through. One fucking fag spamming a hundred posts in a thread to start some bullshit war about Floorbored and Tomoko and Bonbon vs Rainbowshine. Shit that no one even bought into or cares about but still flooding the thread. Or the Bowfag autism. That's what we're at now. This board is fucked. /v/ tier now.
>>42762258The idea is (I assume) to combine it with computer fingerprinting to make it as hard as possible to spoof.
>>42762233>Who’s paying for the hosting?You are. Hand over your wallet.
>>42762248Now remove enough votes so that Fluttershy wins to fix the rigging
>>42762220>Next year will bewe said that last year
>>42762248>leaving only Raritylol. Historic humiliation achieved
>>42762264>This board is fucked. /v/ tier now.All boards are some combination of /tv/ and /pol/, /mlp/ survived longer than most but it comes for us all.
>>42762248Thank you. Guess it wouldn't make a difference. Still have no idea why Roseluck fags didn't vote for her in her mini bracket. Donkfags obviously showed.
>>42762264>This board is fucked. /v/ tier now.I don't think it's THAT bad but I have noticed a trend all over 4chan (/mlp/ included) where people are just way more aggressive and vitriolic and impatient. I still love this board and think it's the highest quality one on the website, and people absolutely ripped into each other and acted mean back in the day, but I do think that people here might be slightly more combative and untrusting. Whatever it is, it's hard to judge because I'm comparing it to 2012 /mlp/ which was ages ago, and any difference I'm noticing doesn't feel super extreme to me.All that being said I do understand where you're coming from, though; this event had a lot of people being really pissed about groups of people that we didn't even really have concrete proof of existing other than just theorycrafting, and then getting mad at each other over it.
>>42762211do not come..... do not come.....
>>42762276Could just be because there's a lot of shit going on in the world lately. Has everyone more anxious than they were in the 2010's.
>>42762274I just always skip the minis I'm not really fond of them
>>42762264>. /v/ tier now.and ironically /v/ has better pageants
>>42762156>But you're just making excuses now, excuses that could just as easily apply to AJ.if they could then point out how. what does Rarity do that makes AJ behave that way?>And the argument leading up to that moment was started by Rarity throwing shade at AJ completely unprovokedyou mean after she gobbles down her smore without asking and burps in her face? some shade was well deserved>At this point, you're just saying that Rarity is justified in instigating arguments for slights against her in previous arguments that were also started by her, and therefore AJ is the only one instigating argumentsWhen I say that AJ starts it it does not justify Rarity's actions. I like the resolution of the episode where both apologize to Twilight for being cun- I mean persnickety and that early in the show I have no complaints. Yeah, I'd put most of the blame on her, but there's enough to go around for both of them.What I dislike is that Applejack never really had a humbling episode even when she should have. All the other m6 get at least one of those. I mentioned somepony to watch over me, and to your credit you didn't try and defend it, but that would have been a great opportunity for it>How is any of this sophistry?"And you've now admitted that there are interactions that were started by Rarity." is a pretty obvious one.

>>42762264yeah. if they do anything to take my data it will just make me not participate.
>>42762281Oh huh, I never thought of that but that could be it too. Maybe by going full /pol/ mode some anons have convinced themselves that there are indeed absolutely evil or objectively wrong people in the world, and that they need to be uncompromising and cold to them in order to make a difference. I dunno, though, nor do I really care to hate anyone. I've always just been here to have fun and enjoy ponies.

>>42762276I've no problem with shitflinging, vitriol, or arguing, but that's not the point of it all. /v/ has been basically just a place to fling shit. I think that's the only reason anyone even goes there. That's basically what we're at now. No one even bothers to shill their character, just fling shit at the next one. Granted, it's clearly only a few fags causing most of it, but there's nothing else to counterbalance it. It's a sad state of affairs. Somehow the Wallflowerfag was the only one who tried to shill their character. Maybe it's because fim is old and we've heard it all, seen it all before, so no one tries.>muh strategic voting>muh spitevoting>muh no character background ponies>muh ABmane 6>muh rarity out early>muh joblestia>muh pinkie rigging>muh cuckposting>muh falseflags>muh anyone who posts a picture of a pony waifu's that ponyI would include that Tomoko shit too, but that was just one faggot.

>>42762264>>42762271>>42762276site admins and mods caring about board culture, helping with important board events, etc is now long gone.Other then the stickied anni thread this year there’s been zero help from site staff to keep things running smoothly for board wide eventsYou’d think with how the pageant has been running forever that the thread would be stickied or an announcement made, but they usually aren’t. Same shit with the 4cc threads not being pruned off of here despite bringing in lots of spiteful offboarders who come to post non-pony anime faggotry when they already have /a/, /y/, /h/, /jp/, /c/, /cm/, /i/, etc to post on.

>>427623164cc threads have always been allowed. That's the one thing they actually get right.

>>42762264>it'd go like the old best pony Hub pollWho would win if /mlp/ didn't rig it? Fluttershy was already a popular pony at the time.
Applejack is still the eternal true winner because she won against every other winner.
>>42762337Nope.
Let's fly!
>>42762338Nice Applejack quote!
>>42762331No that doesn't work. Anons can always find the answers, whether they're newfags or forgetful oldfags or returnfags. PageantAnon chooses all the questions. You just personally disagree with them because you're an autist so you're spoiling.
>>42762342i'm not the person who did that.
>>42762286>what does Rarity do that makes AJ behave that way?How about the entire opening scene where Rarity is increasing the work load for the ponies knocking down branches, and then continually throwing shade at AJ for the rest of the episode?>you mean after she gobbles down her smore without asking and burps in her face? some shade was well deservedAgain, refer to picrel. Rarity is objectively starting most of the fights here with most of AJ's instigations being rather minor. In terms of who started what, Rarity was being way more aggressive than AJ was. You can only say AJ is starting everything if you completely ignore everything Rarity does, and that's just playing favorites.>What I dislike is that Applejack never really had a humbling episode even when she should haveBut I told you, she did. In fact, she probably has more than anyone not RD. Last Roundup is a huge blow against her ego, and one that isn't even shared by other characters. I don't recall Rarity losing a fashion contest or RD losing a race. Hell all of Applubuck Season is about her getting humbled and having to accept help. Applejack has plenty of episodes humbling her, you're just weirdly opposed to seeing it that way.>All the other m6 get at least one of those. I mentioned somepony to watch over me, and to your credit you didn't try and defend it, but that would have been a great opportunity for itSomepony is an episode about AJ learning to be less over protective. Does she need to be hospitalized or something?>"And you've now admitted that there are interactions that were started by Rarity." is a pretty obvious one.That's not sophistry. You said everything was started by AJ, I pointed out it wasn't, and then you asserted that Rarity's instigations were fine because AJ deserves it.>I explicitly mentioned four interactions and used that phrasing as a kind of summaryYou mentioned mud masks, which wasn't even a fight in the episode. Then you mentioned AJ'S prissy ghost story, which in the episode was a follow up to Rarity ribbing AJ about the make over, so another situation where it's only an instigation by AJ if you ignore Rarity's role. And you mentioned her go in the rain dare, which again happened after Rarity ribbed AJ unprovoked, and which Rarity immediately got pay back with her own dare. So basically it all comes down to AJ burping in Rarity's proximity, which now makes it okay that Rarity starts a bunch of shit. Even in half of your given interactions of 'AJ starting shit' it's actually Rarity starting shit in the full context of the scene.Yea they were both immature and catty, but like the poster in picrel says, in order for AJ to be the instigator in every fight, you have to completely ignore Rarity's actions and give her a free pass to act as she pleases.
>>42762335If it was just the target audience? Probably Dash or Pinkie. If it was anons without samefagging? I'd guess Dash or Twilight, they always felt like the most numerous.
>42762344
>>42762343Doesn't matter, you're still wrong.
>>42762264>/v/ tier nowIt's been /v/ tier since 2019 at the latest. We just have less people to filter the super autists. The shift happened in 2018-2019. 2017 /mlp/ was just old /mlp/ with less people. 2019 onwards and the feel of the average (non general) thread is way different. Ironically, because of the repetitive nature of generals, they've barely changed at all save for how many people still post in them.
>>42762276I think a lot of people are just way too negative on anons themselves when they usually aren't the cause of the problem. A lot of people who make things shit are doing it intentionally because they hate us or they are genuinely schizophrenic. Most real anons just want to have fun. That being said I wouldn't be surprised if the rigging was true it seems way too easy to do.

I've been on this board daily for so long it's almost impossible to get a good sense for when the zeitgeist shifted. I'm one of those ancient faggots that never really fell into a specific general and time passed me by. I feel like even into 2023 we could get decent threads and decent posts. Now? It's not a question of if some autist will shit up a thread with bitching and moaning, it's how many posts in.

>>42762373The shutdown really sealed it. When the board came back it was about 20% less active. The numbers have recovered since but you can tell it's just off.
>>42762375Hey furfag, zip it.
i am now requesting pinkie pie disqualification
>>42762391pony board, pony fandom, pony worldhuman trash need not apply.
>>42762297Around, haha. I honestly kind of fell out of using this board for a good while, but I've always peeked in. I think I started visiting this board around 2011 or 2012; I know I got on the ride in between Season 1 and 2. This used to be my home back in 2012 or so and these are all from my Pinkie Pie folder, which has hundreds of images of Ponk in it all saved from around when I was most active. For the past year or two I've enjoyed checking in on /chag/ occasionally, mostly, but ever since the anni my love has been reawakened and I now once again feel warm and fuzzy looking at the funny cartoon horsies.This has ultimately always been my home and I feel a special camaraderie with everyone here, so my return was inevitable. I am surprised that almost a decade and a half later, the vibe here is still so close to what I remember despite the rest of the world changing so much. It makes me really happy.Here, have this; it was my favorite piece of Pinkie art back in the day. Still makes me happy to see it.
>>42762388>that spike in OctoberThat's Miss /mlp/ isn't it? Fucking cross-boarders/co/, /v/, and /tnt/ kill yourselves
>>42762410Pretty sure it's the anni stream actually.
>>42762309I've been "shilling" my character just by posting pictures of her from my old ass folder of Pinkie pics haha, but yeah like you said I don't really think Pinkie needs much introduction so I don't bother trying to full on sell people on her. I just have fun and post pictures of the funny pink pony and hope it lightens the mood, basically what you said about trying to counterbalance the vitriol.But yeah I do agree that some anons have been taking it too seriously. Honestly it could just be my optimism and me wanting to make the most of things, but the idea of "strategic voting" just sounds like it could make for a fun story or set-up especially if Minuette ends up winning. If the narrative is real, then that means an unsuspecting background pony ended up taking the crown due to being boosted out of the idea she wouldn't be a threat later. It's a really fun idea.All being said, I'm still team Ponk to the end, though. Been rooting for her since the very beginning.
>>42762410or possibly some kind of stream-related activity, who can say?
>>42762418>If the narrative is real, then that means an unsuspecting background pony ended up taking the crown due to being boosted out of the idea she wouldn't be a threat later. It's a really fun idea.That would defeat the point of the tournament, to determine the most well-liked mare by the board. If a character wins by strategic voting that's a meaningless win that people will question in the years to come.
>>42762352Oh yeah, we've seen actual proof of anons voting multiple times and that could be argued to be a real problem, but everything else I'm not really sold on. I've noticed people tend to love coming up with labels/names to call people, either like "rigged voters" in this case or just the name of some kind of schizo like Lee or whatever. Lot of people these days kind of just do weird shitflinging and it's kind of weird, that being said, /mlp/ has enough genuine souls to counterbalance it that they almost end up being funny. So long as I get to have meaningful conversations and make new friends then I'm always happy to be here, no matter what.
>>42762418>Wouldn't it be cool and fun if someone ended up where they shouldn't be in a tournament Xd>t. ELObooster
>>42762410It's definitely the anniversary, that thread was running hot.
>>42762422I see it differently. Minuette winning would be a really fun twist and a spotlight on a background pony that has a lot of loving fans. Colgate was a huge deal in the early fandom, and it's like a boost into the spotlight for someone who might've not gotten it anyways. And, hey, if you can beat literally Pinkie Pie in any popularity poll I'd say you've earned it. I get it not feeling as pure, but, she's still a really cool pony with a lot of history that I'd be happy to see win. I ain't beaten up about it at all, if anything I'm having a blast.Besides, the OP picture we got of Pinkie breaking the fourth wall to hug her friend from across brackets is really cute.
>>42762422>THE POINT OF THE TOURNAMENT IS TO SCIENTIFICALLY RANK THE MARES BY POPULARITY AMONGST OUR USER BASE. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM MY PREVIOUS STUDIES, WHOSE DATA IS SHOWN IN THIS CHART.....
>>42762431>has a lot of loving fans.But do these fans represent the majority of the board's opinion?
>>42762422>a meaningless winHow much meaning can any win in a 4chan popularity contest possibly have anyway? The solution to rigging is counterrigging. If you don't like it then you're either too lazy to spam accounts or taking the contest too seriously.
>>42762405Well, I’m glad to have you still around, you old fuck. /chag/ is a fun thread. Definitely one of the highlights of nu/mlp/. The VN especially is just something else. It’s so nice to see anons still putting their autism to use in the pursuit of mares.
>>42762438>How much meaning can any win in a 4chan popularity contest possibly have anyway?It can be meaningful to the board if it represents the board's tastes well.
>>42762434>whorsenigger once again outs himself as a covert barbiecuckAnd that's why Retardity will never win the pageant
>>42762431>Rigging>A lot of fansAre all pinkiefags this retarded? if she already had enough fans she wouldn't need to be rigged
>>42762434>the point of the tournament is to vote for any random shit that has nothing to do with the concept of a popularity contest
>>42762431Colgate winning feels more like contrarianism than people actually just liking her. And I say that as someone that really likes her. Her run hasn't felt like she was liked but more like she's not a mane 6 and she's gone the farthest and I fucking despise that.
>>42762435Way I see it, it's a game. Literal rigging with multiple accounts is cheating at the game. Spitevoting and strategyfagging are PART of the game, and can be fun. If Minuette fags win because of Randomized seeding, Rarity spitevotes, and Ponkfag schemes backfiring, Minuette wins the game fair and square, and we get to throw a Minuette party. The point of this is to have fun, not conduct research. (this is all ignoring the issue of actual rigging, which is something different).
>>42762442>as he outs himself as G%niggerThis has to be bait right?
>>42762441this board as a whole has shit taste so the result should be shitSource: check the catalog without hiding/filtering anything

>>42762449>this board as a whole has shit tasteThat's been true since the early days.
>>42762449>Source: check the catalog without hiding/filtering anythingI only hide one thread, the board's too slow if you hide most of it.
>>42762448MaybeThe point about Whority not winning still stands though
>>42762454>he looks at barbie and G% threadsopinion discarded
The the real winners are Applefags, Twifags, Lunafags, Dashfags, and Derpyfags for not participating in this shit show. How I envy them.
>>42762457I don't enter them but I at least like seeing them move along the catalog so I know that people are posting.
>I posted the most AWKSUWALLY character for my AWKSUWALLY post
>>42762459True. The only winners are the ones who don't have to suffer it anymore.
>>42762454>out of the sea of shit, he hides only a singular turdWhich thread, anon? I need to know which one was so bad that you can stomach all the others, but just not that one.
If demographic trends continue, 10 years from now 80% of this board's traffic will be contained in Fingerbang
>>42762463It's not objectively bad, I just personally find Aryanne really annoying at this point since I associate her with /pol/posting making the board miserable rather than her original intent.
>>42762470I'm not sure what I was expecting but it definitely wasn't that
>>42762459Honestly, if Pinkfags didn't rig I could see Rare clearing the rest. At least you have some support behind the meme of knocking her out for the sake of it like some mares
>>42762469Don't worry this site isn't surviving into the 30s.
>>42762418>>42762431honestly basedthere's already been six winners, who cares if miss /mlp/ doesn't represent a literal statistic but is instead a game where anypony can winit's fun'nuff said

>>42762469Not to get too /pol/ but only 60% of south americans and indians have internet access now, with the numbers growing daily. Any time you see screencaps from a barbiefag's computer the system language is always spanish. The future of online spaces is very very brown.
>>42762479>only five years left until the barbieschatonFEELS GOOD TO BE AN EQG CHAD
>>42762474I know it's not her fault, I'm just so tired of every discussion on this board turning into yelling about who's brown or a tranny or a kike.
>>42762469I thought Fingerbang was dead? I thought it's mostly /jdb/ and /popen/.
>>42762459It does feel pretty nice not having to deal with falseflags anymore, but I do genuinely miss being able to campaign for my wife and talk about how great she is and why I love her in these threads. I know she’ll make it one day, Raribro. Just keep telling people why she’s great, and ignore the shitposters who want to drag you or her down for the crap a few bad apples pulled six years ago.
>>42762490What exactly did Rarifags do that got so many people hating on them? Did they try rigging against Derpy but failed or something?
>>42762491They're just really cringe on a regular basis. Go watch their panel from the last online con if you want to know what I mean. That and the fact that Rarity always acts like a huge slut. I think Rarifags are the only ones that cuckpost about themselves.
>>42762491It's a grudge from the previous pageants after rarafags behavior, like glimmer people will spitevote the fans more than the character.
>>42762491Have you seen how entitled and petty whorseniggers are? Try to say anything even remotely critic about their whorse and you'll be drowning in angry (You)'s, cope pics and derailment.Gonna give them one thing, it takes effort to become as insufferable as dougfags while being an M6 fag.
I am cringe but I am free
>>42762491Jealousy tends to make people act irrational
>>42762508Thanks for posting this, for a second everyone forgot how insufferable Rarats are posting it to win every argument
>>42762500Kek, these dubs turned out to be pretty truthful
>>42762509I think the thing is that Rarityfags realize nobody's going to change their mind on her so, like Trixiefags, they've just moved on to simple ingroup signalling instead since that's most of the fun for far less effort.
>>42762517He already made it clear that the screencap upsets him because he replies to it every single time it gets posted, and he brings it up constantly.
>>42762439>Well, I’m glad to have you still around, you old fuck.Aww haha, thanks! Yeah, I'm glad to have me still around and also have you guys still around too. Again, I feel a real sense of camaraderie with you guys, you'll all always be my brothers.>The VN especially is just something else.Oh my god I know right? Back in 2013 I remember tons of anons trying to make digital simulators of ponies and obviously the tech at the time being super limited, but we had so many little fan projects coming around that'd let you talk to the characters in a very limited capacity, or at least CYOA threads that let users do so. The fact we had so many anons hanging onto their dreams of going to Equestria to the point things like this are still being made is insane. Not to mention the PurpleSmart AI guys and their endgame of making "AI waifus"; some users here got touched by something beautiful and just simply never gave up, not even over a decade later. It's an actual testament to the power of love and the people behind these projects don't get nearly enough praise for the kind of humanity they represent.Back on the VN though, yeah I've been visiting it over and over again and it's been so immersive and comfy. I often just use the new custom start feature to mess around and see what ponies do with certain scenarios, and they're pretty consistently always hilarious and many of them feel like a real episode of the show. I could gush about it all day though. I'm ultimately just so happy there's so much wonder and passion still being poured into ponies, it simply goes to show how much we were all touched by the wonder and magic of the show.
>>42762443>Are all pinkiefags this retarded?INDEED, HAHA, AND I AM THE ONE BEHIND ALL OF THE RIGGING! I OWN HALF OF THE GOOGLE ACCOUNTS IN INDIA AND ALL OF THEM WERE USED TO VOTE FOR MINUETTE AND BABS SEED (FISH) THE LATTER OF WHICH IS MY WAIFU WHOM I LOVE DEARLY.
>>42762529He very well may, I'm just saying that you guys don't seem particularly interested in convincing anyone of anything.
>>42762478I think it does a fantastic job at being both. I'm just honestly happy to enjoy it in whatever form it's in; to do anything else feels like it would be to take the effort put into this and the fact people still even care this much about pone for granted.
Babs Seed (Fish Ver.) should have gotten to the finals
>>42762536Yeah, when you think about all the fanbases from the early 2010s that are nothing but dust in the wind now it's hard to not feel at least a little lucky that ponies are still ponying.
>>42762529>Rarafags are delusional and think it's one poster replying every time>Twifags are delusional and think it's one poster every timeWhy are unicorners like this
>>42762540Not enough people posted edits of mares with 'women want me, fish fear me' hats. It's a shame.
>>42762543only one horn on the head, you see
>>42762543Unicorns are the most schizo ponies in the show. It makes sense.
>>42762541Aw hell yeah! And to think the vibe is still so similar to what it used to be. The anni alone had so many people genuinely crying because of how hard they were touched by the show, and I met a new fan who got in in 2024 and was touched in the same way I was back in 2011. It just goes to show that we've found something precious for ourselves, something that can stand the test of time as something more than an internet fad. It's special, and I think because of that, the ride truly will never end.
Seconding >>42762065Fuck you >>42762055, your wife a cute too !
>>42762549>It's special, and I think because of that, the ride truly will never end.I certainly hope so.
>>42762550Care to explain this >>42762084 pinkiniggie?
>>42762574>>42762084 terrible banter, we're taking this one back to the mirror pool, please hold.
>>42762535>don't seem particularly interested in convincing anyone of anything.Nah. I'd rather just talk about Rarity with likeminded anons and engage in some tomfoolery sometimesI'm not going to change their opinions, and I'm not interested in doing that either. Anons are stubborn, and I don't think there's a single thing I can say that will change a Rarity hater's mind.Making people mad is like half of the reason this fandom exists. I don't know why people are surprised that a screencap that ruffles feathers gets reposted.

When Minuette wins, we should giver her ENORMOUS wings on her trophy, that she can really fluff up. I think it's what she would want.
Does anyone actually care about the 3rd place? I'm wondering which mare deserves it in your opinion, Roseluck or Pear Butter. (And no, I don't care if you can't believe they even got to the Semis)
>>42762643Well I was rooting for Pear Butter for a long while so I'm hoping she'll get it.
>>42762648Same, I wish she had beaten Pinkie. Now I'm supporting Minny, not a spitevote, I have supported her all along and now I don't have to choose between her or Pear Butter. (But it would be Pear Butter obviously)
>>42762643I only care about 1st place, and a mare I care about isn't in the finals.
>>42762388bro this place was so cozy pre sharty.

>>42762707It's weird how he just got accepted into the tournamet. Can you just fucking submit any male character into the tournament and they are allowed to play?
>>42762720The poster who submitted the idea argued he's an alt of Trixie? Not sure how that works but it worked.
>>42762723Sounds based.
>>42762723what the fuck
I’m voting minuette cause she’s blue and I like blue
>>42762720what if for 2026 we made a male character win miss /mlp/ and a female character for mr. /mlp/ haha
>>42762707I've been afraid to ask, is this a part of the Sharty raids or is this some unrelated drama from some general that I don't follow? Because one of the main spammers seems to really hate that guy, whoever the fuck he is.
>>42762734he's a russian anon who is being sent to war. the guy who hates him is just a heartless schizophrenic staunch ukraine supporter
>>42762736Yeah but there's clearly a context for why you all know this guy's name.
>>42762723>>42762724>>42762727fucking kek, honestly the chaos brought about by having 250+ entrants is very funBabs Seed (fish ver.) is my favorite and I regret people not getting behind her more.
>>42762739one of the big sites we use is his iirc. they said what it was in the anni but im that asshole with memory problems so i don't remember which.
>>42762734>>42762736No, he is Ukrainian, not Russian. And I guess I have heard he is a moderator for Cytube rewatches and for the Rewatch Discord and that's where the hateboner comes from.
>>42762736Wrong way around. Firlin is a ukrainian anon who does a lot of coding for /mlp/ related things. No idea what he did to the schizo to piss him off, if anything
>>42762744>Rewatch DiscordThere's no such thing.
>>42762747alright i guess i just remember people blaming putin for it so that feels backwards
Voted against Pinkie with my 13 accounts
>>42762760Voted for Obama with my 13 Pinkie Pies
>>42762760>>42762761You fools, I voted for Pinkie Pie with my 70 alternative accounts
>>42762760>>42762761>>42762770thanks but I voted for minuette with my 0 accounts. I voted for pinkie pie with my 0 alts. I voted for noone. I conceded my vote
>>42762770Well I Pinkied for 70 alternative accounts with my (You).
>>42762772>>42762771>>42762770>>42762761>>42762760I came to minuette 7 times
>>42762774It's No Nut November, weakling
>>42762776kike
>>42762776No it's Noivember. Post pictures of Noi.
>>42762778It's actually No Noi November
>>42762778Jobbed
>>42762779I refuse to believe that.
>>42762779It's too addicting
I don't vote for characters who are too pink. Make her green or something.
>>42762807She's Green For An Amazing Reason
Literal who vs Wierd Al's annoying hoeWhat a shitty peagant this year. Celestia vs Luna that was exciting. Now its either an obvious pick of M6 or people spitevoting to fuck Pinkiefags. Either way its going to suck. At least my anti flutterfag spam worked
>>42762883>Literal whoI assume you failed all of the security questions kek
>>42762309I don't shill my favorite character because I think even bringing her into the conversation invites the inevitable rally against her. It feels like the best tactic is to skirt by without controversy as long as possible and hope for sympathy votes when the tough matches come up
>>42762892No, i failed first 4 sets of questions but even i know who Lee and Haber is, but i dont know about the guy asking for drawings
>>42762895And how did skirting by work for you? Might as well tuck in your dick while you're at it fag.
>>42762895If your wife can't bleed through all the struggles and still win despite the vitriol she didn't deserve it in the first place.
>>42762895This kinda shit is exactly why you faggots get voted against
>>42762907Except it worked for derpy last year

BEJITAGIVE ME THE ANWSERSAside from the second one because I already know that one.
>>42762459>for not participating in this shit show.Wdym? I'm still here and voting for Twilight's friends so that they can all be together on the winners' podium.
>>42762344>increasing the work loadyou can't be serious. I wasn't going to mention it because it may have been necessary but AJ is clearly the pony to start shit even in the opening scene>Again, refer to picrelAlready did and I still like how even the most disingenuous framing and most glaring lies of omission can only (barely) make it a tie.>I don't recall Rarity losing a fashion contest suited for success>or RD losing a racerainbow falls. and the last roundup is not about her being "humbled" because her being good at rodeo is only relevant in that episode. it's about her promising something she ends up unable to deliver on and learning to rely on her friends. kind of like applebuck season. and so her worst "failures" are trying to be too good of a pony and coming just a little short.>Does she need to be hospitalized or something?No, but I'd like for her to be clearly in the wrong just once. It would have been a great setup for just that but then the episode really goes out of its way to make all her fussing seem reasonable and by the time she has to apologize we can hardly even blame her. Grannies gone wild comes close but ironically she's not around to learn a lesson from it>You mentioned mud masks, which wasn't even a fight in the episodeyes, exactly. because Rarity does not immediately rise to her provocation>Rarity ribbing AJ about the make overshe asks how she's doing.>And you mentioned her go in the rain dare, which again happened after Rarity ribbed AJ unprovokedit was very much provoked but this is the one scene you can argue she starts. only for AJ to again escalate from passive aggressive remarks to real dares but let's call it a tie. that makes it 3.5-0.5 as far as blame goes
>>42762907Lmao yeah right. You know damn well if Rarity gets shilled too much, then that is used as the reason for spitevoting. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.Anti-Rarity voting is now a meme and there is nothing that can be done to break it.That said Rarifags should still shill because the alternative is being a pussy.
You guys realize the Raven Inkwell guy rigged it all solely to prove a point, right?He even admitted to doing so.
You guys realize the Colgate guy rigged it all solely to prove a point, right? He even admitted to doing so.
>>42762970That's true, and ponies like Celestia are in the same boat. That's why it was so important to win the first competition. Because every subsequent year there are more memes, spite voting, and a general anti-m6 mindset.
RESET THE CUP
>>42762902She can't and she doesn't
there's lot of drama in the rigging 'cord because many believe we were too obvious with this one
>>42763005Sweetie Belle will win before Rarity oco
Questions need to be changedAnswers have already been leaked and frankly the second question is practically begging for an off-board raid from you know who
>>42762781Noi is Pan of /mlp/PEDOccolobro lost by extension btw>>427629341. POOPEN3. SHARTENOnly true saiyan can decipher the real answers
>>42763005There's really nothing like the high morale and loving support of a Raritychad. My fucking sides. I'll vote for her next time around provided Pinkie wins this one, no worries.
>>42762770are you referring to marefucker1, marefucker2...
>>42763188>Pony4Koma>Ponk4Yoma>Ponk4Moya>Ponk4MayoIt's a sign from the riggers.
>>42761973this was an awful miss /mlp/ there is no point voting knowing there was some rigging done in the tournament
>>42762424>as I get to have meaningful conversations and make new friends Still an enigma to me how people do this within 4ch itself and not on offboard services.
>>42763209>there is no point voting knowing there was some rigging done in the tournamentThis happens every year, you just noticed it. It's very easy to vote multiple times. Any retard can do it.
The staggering amount of people who got the "So sad" question wrong by falling for unrelated posts on desu that didn't even fit the structure of the question showcases the need for harder questions in general to properly filter the idiots and offboarders. Also, and Idk if Google Forms can do this, instead of everyone getting the same questions there should be a list of questions that three are pulled randomly from for every user.
>the heckin off boarders are rigging it!>lol look at these retards who failed the easiest questions ???
>>42763360I don't think there's any more rigging going on than every other year, I just think inferior people who have been proven stupid by their actions should not be allowed to taint the results with their inferior opinions.
>>42763344Every voter getting random questions would be good.
>>42763462>>42763344This might be doable: I don't know if it's doable to randomize it by specific user but the code for the CAPTCHA at the end randomizes every minute or so, I can see if it can also be used to randomize the questions at the beginning by pulling them from a pool of possible questions
>>42763300it wasn't as obvious in previous years
>>42763604Right, the Derpi rigging claims from day 1 aside...?
Is it finally okay to have fun again...?
>>42763652Maybe, Anons are probably having a crash over too much hyp from these two overly excitable mares
>>42763652>>42763660I can imagine both of them awkwardly looking at each other like "can't we just call it a tie...?" since they're both happy friendly mares that wouldn't like all the shitflinging happening because of them
>>42763663>"No we cannot. Pick her up and dump her head first with your magic Minuette!">"Don't let her get the upper hoof Pinkie, I know you still have the rock farm in you. A single punch should be enough to knock her out!"
>jakpostingYep, thread is overrun by offboarders
>>42763300This was an awesome pageant, and the rigging just makes it funnier. Get a sense of humor, you dorks.
>>42763620>claimsjust that, this year the quarterfinals made it too obvious
>>42763652have fun with your ruined tournament, nobody cares
>>42763710
>>42762960>t AJ is clearly the pony to start shit even in the opening sceneNow your just making assumptions based on nothing.>suited for successThat episode ends with her winning Hoighty's favor.>Already did and I still like how even the most disingenuous framing and most glaring lies of omission can only (barely) make it a tieSo an even handed and objective look at the characters actions is disingenuous framing? It sounds more like you just have some blatant Rarity favoritism here, going by how much your bending over backwards to make her shit flinging okay and only AJ's in the wrong.>AJ being humbled doesn't count because... it just doesn't okayI accept your concession>Rarity does not immediately rise to her provocationWhat provocation? AJ not knowing what a mud mask is? Besides, if you want to talk about provocations, Rarity was the one instigating that exchange too by making AJ stay out and wash her self just to satisfy her own sensibilities.>she asks how she's doing.Uh huh, by intentionally throwing her words in her face when AJ clearly isn't having a good time doing something she's not fond of. Your blatant Rarity favoritism doesn't make her not objectively a shit stirrer. If AJ asking about mud masks is a 'provocation' then this definitely is.>this is the one scene you can argue she startsOnly because your bending over backwards to make her not in the wrong for anything, including just making up that AJ simply must have been acting a certain way offscreen with zero evidence.>only for AJ to again escalate from passive aggressive remarks to real dares but let's call it a tie. that makes it 3.5-0.5 as far as blame goesRarity immediately started escalating again right after the scene where she made a big show of them not escalating, and then continued starting fights after. You favoritism for Rarity is blinding you to the events here.
You're giving her a star, right Anon?
>>42763675Fucking called it >>42763099PageantAnon you're a retard
>>42763652It's dead lol.
surely google forms has a way of limiting submissions by IP?
>>42763887Google search says it does not. And even if it did an IP refresh is trivialthe most google forms can do is collect email address if required
>>42763725Rose pretty pony
>>42763699A bunch of riggers. The most retarded pink gorilla riggers I've ever seen.
>Pinkie Pie in the main final>Limestone Pie in the best bitch finalPlease let them win, it'd be amazing
>>42763652I'm not having fun, why should anyone else?
>>42763909I am. The funny thing is it's like this every year. The questions always get leaked. Some anon always spoils it. Etc. Nothing is different here except the reaction to it.
>>42763925Fucking this. It's ironic that the people are bitching about newfaggots when the act of bitching about any of this at all is a clear sign of newfaggotry
>>42763927I mean. The rig this year is especially blatant but you're naive if you think it's new.
>>42763935Never randomize again. That's the lesson here.
>>42763935what’s your reasoning? Why is this rigged but not the previous pageants?
>>42763925Flutterfags reaction to "Who can we lose to >a literal who* was the icing in the cake.God I love Minny
>>42763942I honestly think the only people bitching about “rigging” are disgruntled flutterfags
>>42763927Rigging wasn't as bad as it didn't lead to boring winnersNow we have a high chance of getting a fucking Minuette win
>>42763944Well they are the most spiteful waifufags
>>42763945A Minuette win would be the least boring win this tournament has had.
>>42763945And that's a good thingWasn't that what you aimed to get from Randomized? """literal who's""" vs a big pony?Minuette is still plenty loved though
>>42763941It's the randomization revealing it. It was always there. Randomize just reveals it. Also most the complaints are not even about rigging. They are about strategy voting. Strategic voting is an unavoidable consequence of how this tournament is set up. People were ALWAYS voting against their competitors in every round. Always propelling a weaker opponent to face. That has always happened. It's just that randomize made it very transparent this year. The only fix is never randomize again.
>>42763957What's that fluid in the table, Minnie? Hmm?
>>42763945Only (You) can prevent it
>>42763961Kek, I left that on the edit thinking as her heated breathing. Can't unsee.
>>42763968Jesz, calm down Minnie. I'm scared!
The rigging Discord leaked the trophy, guys!
>>42763961Victory anticipation fluid.
>>42763963>Unicorn fat flabs>Earth Pony fat but on the right placesI know which I'm choosing
>>42763982Wewon
>>42763978It's so much more likely the rigging is Minniefags.
>>42763982That's gonna break the dental chair...
>>42763982>Posts fat humanized assJust for this I'm voting BG unicorn
>42763984Ok Flutternigger
>>42763978kek, it's a little premature but that would make a nice torphy image
>>42763982>Unicorn fat flabsYou're wrong.
>>42763993Twilight is literally the worst example you could bring up with all the hayburguers.Ponk, AJ, and Earth Ponies as whole, go straight to their asses and teats instead.
>>42763978you jinxed it
>>42764004Minuette is plenty active, so it's not like she'd be a ball either way.If anything, she probably have more energy than even Pinkie herself, just more self councious to not overload others...most of the time
>>42763958>ask to explain why you think it’s rigged >explains how it’s always been this way Ok, I get that, but why? Why is it rigged?
I think Minnie will lose just because of the flutterfags spitevoting She had a good run
>>42764011Because if you're not cheating you're not trying.
>>42763978the trophy should say rigged
>>42764013Jeez no offense but Ponk would have easily beat Shy
>>42764014Ok but how does that explain there’s any rigging? I’m sorry anon but you’re going off baseless claims here
>>42764004Fake news, ponies should have a lot of belly and ass
>>42764017If Flutters wanted to win she would have had to refuse season 3 episode 10. It's been downhill for her ever since.
riggers lose their ticket to equestria
>>42764021People are just calling strategy votes rigging.
>>42764004Twilight is an alicorn. She'll grow bigger.
>>42764030By then you don't want a pony, you want a ball.Meanwhile Pinkie is still soft enough to give the best bone crushing bearhugs with all that Pie' might
>>42764030I classify everyone who didn't vote for a pony I like as a rigger so none of you are going
>>42762447Would it be fun to look back at a weak winner who doesn't have a strong support and only won because everyone else got spitevoted out?
>>42764043Verity bros...
>>42764047Verity was FOTM but she absolutely deserved to win that year. She was a heart-touching true story of the good /mlp/ can do and we might never get anything else like her, it's good she's memorialized.
Colgate doesn't need a massive ass to prove herself. Her smile is as infectious as it gets.
>>42764047Verity was not FOTM.
>>42762500>Try to say anything even remotely critic about their whorse and you'll be drowning in angry (You)'s, cope pics and derailment.That's true for all waifufags.
>>42764051LMAO plotlet
>>42764038yeah sure whatever, still a rigger and will forever be remembered as part of the worst miss /mlp/
>>42764047Verity was a fluke
>>42764050Verity was not FOTM because FOTM is flavor, just a worthless, derivative thing. Verity is much, much more than that. She was popular that month, yes. But that doenst make it FOTM
I voted for the dentist because she didn't make my ears bleed
>>42762883>Celestia vs Luna that was exciting.Absolutely not, though this finale is about on the same level
>>42764061>She didn't make my ears bleedShe is pretty chatty herself to be honest.
Who is Verity?
>>42764065
>>42762902Don't be mean
>>42764064>Twilight already had basically a full head on Minuette even then
>>42764064Chatty doesn't mean screeching at every word
>>42764037>wings strategically hidden by assClever...
>>42764064This horse needs to shut up
>>42764065She was an IRL critically sickly foal who was saved by the profits made by the aryanne art pack /mlp/ did in response to derpibooru cracking down on censorship/mlp/ was given frequent updates on her status as she was given the care she needed and sort of adopted her as their daughteru
>>42764080>Spoonfeeding
>>42764080That was cool but we didn't need to waste a year on making her a winner just to pat ourselves on the back
>>42764084Verity's story should be told
>>42764080>wasShe died? :(
>>42764077I'll shut (You) up
>>42764087No don't worry she's still alive and well. Don't know where she's at now but she received the care she need and is probably getting pretty big now
I don't think the Pinkies posted are cute enough
>>42764087The last we know of her, she got better and got adopted a few years ago.
>>42764095Oh yeah?
>>42764096she's a big girl

>>42764080awww. thanks
>>42764181Superficially, yes.
>Minny winning the same year that Batsy's animation releases.Organic excitement or dedicated dick-riders?
>>42764190She always did fairly well, last year randomized fucked her up from the get go against Derpy, but as it keeps being repeated, she was always a fairly high seed.Wouldn't doubt the animation gave her the final push she needed though, it's a great video.
>>42764190manipulated pageant
>>42764199>always did fairly welljej
>>42764190Rigged by a single schizo to prove a point.I'm not even pointing fingers at ponkfags and the three Minuette fans, I'm pointing fingers at this one specific guy.
>>42764202>You're going to love me.ogg
>>42764199I could get lost on those sapphire jewels.
if minuette wins i will brush my teeth today
>>42764199I like Minuette but I don't like the thought that overrated animated is what pushed her here>but how could you not like itIt doesn't add any jokes on its own and feels more like mindless mareschizo coombait than the classic fandom kind of parody animation.
>>42764190This would be a very fucking funny twist if that's the sole reason she winsShartsyfags somehow outdid trannersfags from year before in the inorganic FotM push
If you use retarded buzzwords that don’t add to what you’re saying but rather just function as a way to fit in you need to feel God and come back when you found God
Logically the order in which background ponies should win, in order of prominence in the fandom is this1. Derpy2. Lyra3. Octavia4. Vinyl5. Minuette6. Everypony else because no other bg pony is as significant. Bon Bon is more well-known for being Lyra's walking accessoryBut nu-/mlp/ has a heavy trad bias and is put off by Vinyl, so realistically I should maybe switch Minuette and Vinyl's order
>>42764300Maybe Vinylfags shouldn't have turned their thread in a doug-ridden cesspool if they didn't want the rest of this board to despise them
>>42764300>background poniesKys backgroundfag
>>42764288>overrated animated is what pushed her hereis not though
>>42764294If you mean my post, I acknowledge a lot of work was put into the animation, but I just feel like it's meant to pander to a specific /mlp/ demographic and no one else. It's a song about a psycho dentist, but it's drawn in Batsy's generic cutesy moe style all the way through, which creates a dissonance. Minuette doesn't grimace, make unhinged facial expressions, or do anything really expressive throughout it. She doesn't even look particularly crazy.
>>42764300>LyralollmaoVinyl sadly took a dip and Octavia isn't as popular nowadays, but still plenty loved.Yet you have other mares that have risen ever since like Linky and Rainbowshine, despite how much fags shat on RS for going so far, they're not like the mares of old that are remembered for their past instead of current and growth, again like Vinyl and her drop.
>she always did fairly well
>>42762256I just dropped a message in the post-contact questionnaire with some contact information if you're interested in some help or advice re: making your own site, in the event that's chosen as an option. Feel free to take me up on that or not, just making sure you don't miss it in the sea of responses.
>>42764338I mean, a perennial round of 16 candidate is pretty fucking good. The only bad one there is where she gets first-round stomped by the eventual winner of the tourney.
>>42764334Linky is kinda funny. Her winning would be weird, but if it happens after the rest of M6 and everyone I listed got retired, then I guess it could be semi-reasonable. Rainbowshine winning would definitely be the day these tournaments jump the shark though..
>>42764338Now get her seed and the opponents in every one of those instead of just where she dropped. You can get a sense of that seeing who she fought in those too, only dropping for other known and loved mares as well.
>>42764338>>42764343This is still way better than 90% of contestants. Minuette is at the very least not weaker than Rarity
>>42764343that's far from well, let's not even bring up roseluck because this year's miss /mlp/ is already a disgrace
>>42764308>>42764308>>42764308This I spitevoted them and their wubdong and donkey fetish, utterly disgraceful
>>42764366I don't think Minuette would be a particularly good winner but even I can recognize Round of 16 is pretty good
>>42764346>muuhh seednot an argument really, if the norm is her getting knocked the fuck out by a popular pony it only shows how bad this year was and how some shit happened with the votes
>>42764370i mean if you are dumb, sure
>>42764381t. /v/ shitposter who memes everyone below 1st place as a jobber
>>42764377wtf are you talking about the tourney isn't even over yet. stfu retard
>>42764334Linky? Nothing burger pony of rewatch tranny memes like teeth and sandwhichesRainbow shine? Nothing burger pony of rewatch tranny memes like sunbeam and sunbeam
>>42764377She may well get knocked the fuck out by a popular pony in just a bit here.
>Flutterfags wake up>Muh rigged starts being spammed again
if pinkie pie wins I'll blow a balloon
>>42764403>>42764390i thought that it wasn't necessary to specify that it means she gets knocked out early (with the quarterfinales being the only time she got so far) but i often forget how retarded you fags can be
>>42764386>bunch of nonsenseyou think being out on the round of 32 is fairly well? then i feel bad for you

>>42764502True, Derpy going out in the round of 16 in 2023 is proof that her win in 2024 was rigged.

>>42764496I share your opinion (unironically)
>>42764482Post more AI pics, friend.
>>42764491Freckles on a mare will never look right imho, specially one that does not work constantly under the sun.But if one was to edit those things out, that one would be rather pretty.

>>42764503>minuette is as popular as derpy
>>42764522>>42764495Go back to the sharty
>>42764552I dunno about that I'm just agreeing with you, no pony that has their worst ever result immediately goes and wins it all and no pony that gets kicked out in the top 16 should ever win.
>>42764552 only today anon. Only today.

>>42764743Maybe it's the face, especially on Minuette on this one. Big cheeks, small mouth and muzzle, as well as stout legs. At the same time, Pinkie does not look like it on this lastest one, and her legs aren't much smaller, so maybe it's the positioning to match the thicc flanks.
