Greetings fillies and gentlecolts. I'm Billy Mays, but you may also know me as other names like Tech or Rufus. And this thread, is for plotting.
Simple enough, right? Basically the point of this thread is to brainstorm for ideas to have for a major or minor plot. This could span from grand adventures encompassing nearly the entire cast or small episodic plots of which there could be multiple happening at once. Have an idea? By all means, post it? If we can't decide on a plot to do next, we can also host polls on this thread in order to choose what to do.
Now, the plots. Here are the current Major Plot ideas:
Idea #1: Changeling Infiltration - Idea submitted by Billy Mays
It's just yet another normal day in Ponyville, or at least that's what it seems. Something is amiss; a feeling of malevolence can be felt throughout the town, yet nopony can quite put a hoof on what it is...
Recently some ponies have been disappearing for a short time, only to reappear again. Odd, but not proof of anything going on...at least not yet. It'll be up to our brave heroes (the cast of the site) to ultimately uncover what's really going on in Ponyville.
Idea #2: Pirate Adventure! - Idea submitted by Billy Mays
Legend has is that centuries ago, a famous pirate named Blackmane roamed the seven seas. He was world reknowned for his ferocity and cunning tricks he used to beat his foes. Towards the end of his life, it's said he owned a treasure hoard so vast it'd bring even the largest Dragon treasure hoards to shame. Being the selfish and stubborn pirate he was, Blackmane supposedly hid his treasure so no one would find it, with only single encrypted map leading to it. After he died though, him, the map, and ultimately the treasure eventually became just legends that sailors pass on to one another.
...Until a few days ago when somepony in Trottingham began hiring ponies to go on a hunt for the treasure, that is. Most called him a fool; that the treasure didn't even exist to begin with. But he's certain it's out there, and that he and his newly hired crew are going to be the first to find it!
Idea #3 Genie Plot - Idea submitted by the Artist Formally Known As Inkie
Anyways, I think that a Genie Pony (or some other wish-granting medium, I personally like the idea of it being a character, even if it's just a temporary one) starts granting wishes all over ponyville. Through various shenanigans, the lamp and wish-granting gets passed around, and everything seems great, but all of the wishes turn sour, and now everypony has to deal with the huge mess that their wishes create. Silliness ensues, lessons are learned, and the princess gets at least one letter XD
Minor Plots:
None, yet.
I put in two ideas of my own and kept in inkie's genie idea (even if he isn't around anymore). Now, let the brainstorming...COMMENCE!
