>>43200184>Starlight Appreciation PanelCan't help but immediately notice missed opportunity to name it Starlight Glimmer Appreciation Panel, which would create a technically legitimate excuse to shill the con with claims that SGAP will be there. The one and only, of course.
>>43201393Reminds me I need to figure out a good Twilight panel
Bump
There's an issue with my panel and I need to reach out to the operator. What's a good email? Thanks
>>43201393trixie be spinning
>>43202055what's her fucking problem? why won't she stop?
>>43202046op at mlpcon dot online
>>43201481I have an idea: Get a bunch of different burgers and rate them on how much would Twilight like them IRL
>>43201943yes
>>43203584
>>43200182i WANT TO FUCK THAT MER
>>43201393I'd make a Trixie panel where we just play all of Trixie's episodes, but I don't know how.>>43202057She's just that powerful
>>43205070>but I don't know howI mean, you could just do a panel where you send the organizers a playlist of videos to be played during the panel.Personally, I suggest you don’t just include Trixie episodes but mix in some fan content, like the Applejack Appreciation Appointment.And this is just my two cents, but I also suggest waiting a while before submitting the panel so as not to take space away from another panel that might be live or more elaborate, especially considering those who get discouraged when they see the preliminary schedule and don’t even submit their panel
keep planning
If thread dies while I'm at NeighCon I'll start up a new one on the following Saturday I'm probably going to be too busy to bumpIn the meantime, get this panel ideas rolling! We have only one vendor app inAnd I still am requesting help with the site, though I'm a few hours into vibe coding a new oneIt could use a redesign and new art, neither of which I'm any good at
I'm bumping this thread.WITH NO SURVIVORS.
>>43205586At this point, we've got a Pinkie, Starlight and Applejack one. I know a Twilight one was done last year too. Honestly, I don't think we need anymore single pony panels when those spots could be used for more engaging ones.
>>43206467NICE
will there be whatsapp
>>43206759Is there anything more engaging than celebrating ponies, though?
We gotta have a panel to finally ask /mlp/'s most important question
will the con have ponies?
>>43209671Yes, but only stallions.
>>43209671Hell yeah brother
>>43202380food or americans?>would Twilight prefer Purp or Corp?
>>43210704>spoilerHow big is Corp's collection of Twiggie plushies compared to Purp's?
>>43210704you can't have one without the other
I’ve submitted my panel a couple of days ago now. SFM animation interests some anons right? It’s not too complicated and I’ll try running a tutorial on how to import a character (even if it’s one off of the gmod workshop that doesn’t render properly and requires recompiling) though fuck me if I ever figure out how to change SFM maps right now.
>>43210741cool
>page 9
>>43212431Thanks anon
I'm just a dumb, lazy audiencefag, but I can at least say that I am very excite!All the online cons are such a treat! I love watching anons' panels and babbling in chat!
>>43213440we'd be nowhere without audiencefags, just saying.(you) do more then you think.
>>43212431>10
>9
PLAN!
Anyone planning panels?
>>43215881
>9Would anyone watch a panel of me walking around my backyard as a pony? I'm really good at walking on 4 legs.
>>43217864Will you neigh, whinny, eat grass, and shit yourself? Remember to stay naked too since ponies rarely wear clothes.
>>43217878if anon actually does this i will vote him for best panelwear one of those horse masks if you're camera shy
>>43217878I could make the noises and munch on some grass. Maybe even roll around on the ground too. Not sure about the other stuff though.
>>43217935You absolutely have to do this. It is your moral obligation to provide this quality act.
>>43217991But what if I don't? What now?
Will it happen?
>>43219374Not anymore, only whatsapp
>>43219839sad
I see make a new con mascot on the list. How about a mare who has a comic book talk bubble for a cutie mark, and she's black and white? Shes got a talent for talking a lot.
>>43220652Why black and white
Can we get a new mascot called Marejuana?
>>43222833No, weed is bad anon.
Can we get a new mascot named Whatsapp?
>>43224496No, Whatsapp is bad, anon
>>43221828Just thematic, do you like something like brown or orange better? The Brony mascot pony is already orangey though.
I drew out something.
>>43225060the element of emote spam
>>43225038I like colors, pastel or bright ones
>>43225211do you like some of these?
>>43226147Yes, these are all nice colors
>>43225060good bap
>>43225060honestly some lighter colors might be nicer imo. Alternatively a pegasus would be better since we already got a "unicorn" and earth pony. idk, just spitballing
>>43227411
Is /mlp/ con really getting a new mascot
>>43227411>eyes aren't chat bubble shaped like >>43225060dropped
What if we had one that talks a lot, and one that doesn't talk a lot?
>>43227411I like her colors and her mane
ok I got an idea: spamming emoji and her cutie mark is a can of spam. Hormeline as her name? (just shitpost/funny idea)
>>43227411DT is a cutie
>>43227721That's a good looking desing! Did you make that?
>>43228078maybe
>>43217864>>43217935Sounds based.
>>43217864sure
>>43228230fair>>43227721kek didnt think of that honestly not really sure if we really need a new mascot in any case. kinda feels too little too late for /mlp/con to pivot into trying to expand on mascot stuff
>>43200184initial schedule is live!https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RYx3sVxTTk8YV-xpkJSsL1aqW0I3uF6yBACnnZGZExw/edit?usp=sharing
>>43232493I'm working on the website now, tooI'm re-writing it all but it's going to look very similar to the ones from pre-2025, only easier for me to integrate some stuff to cytubeonly because I suck at any sort of UI or making cool website artand it's mostly vibe coded so don't expect much
What do you think this is?
>>43232539Mascot futa cock reveal.
Up
/mlp/con will fall right into nyxmas, can you believe it?
>>43232509It has comic sans and ponies, so in my eyes it's already close to perfection.
>>43227721I want to rape her
It is not a coincidence that /mlp/con falls into Junebug July
>>43237027literally who
>>43237027Erm, anon.... her name is JUNEbug....
There are going to be more panels and activities, right?
>>43238375>he doesn't know
