Well, I heard this going around in the zones in haven. Is this rumor true? I mean, there already is cupcakes. Why not pony costumes? Many people were in favour of such a costume, and some hated it. Can someone confirm this rumor? Please help me out!

Next CE promo is MLP costumes?!
I think this GIF is a good representation of my feelings.

I WANT TO PUNCH YOU
here's what i think of your wretched ponies.
CUPCAKES CUPCAKES CUPCAKES=Ponies! See? It makes SENSE. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43AuJjuxqAw
See? Ponies and cupcakes go together. Me? I wouldnt mind for a fancy/prismatic MLP costume myself.
Someone wrote gullible on the ceiling.
Ask around, it is a true rumor, I need confirmation. Is it in the spiralspy game files?
... No, it's not a "true" rumour, it is a rumour. It is a 'true' rumour if the the rumoured information is actually true. And no it's not, there is nothing in the game files nor any announcment from Three Rings, and frankly you shouldn't even need to check, five minutes of basic thinking should've brought you to the conclusion that this wasn't happening.
If it was in SS, it would have to be hidden somewhere in the source files for SK, just unused (like the vog texture)
Besides, they wouldn't be in the files yet because they haven't been released in a patch. The metal sonic promotion thing textures didn't exist until after a reboot one night when they updated the game with a patch file that contained the new textures. This is what will happen if this rumor is true, so the only way for any kind of confirmation is word from a dev.
(on a side note, i listen to This while doing bosses :D)

The Metal Sonic models were in the game files in patch several days before the 'release' actually. They were also in Test Server files well before that, all updates go through the test server first, the Crimson Order models were in test client since January for example.
I really should properly investigate things and not just go with what I think it most plausible...
Although there IS still the chance that they haven't added the textures into the source files yet, that means they won't be happening very soon. All I can do now is hope.
Keep your manchild stuff out of this, please! Some of us non-bronies don't appreciate you shoving this junk down our throats as though EVERYTHING needs your stupid hideous weave creatures that smell.
At least with Sonic, it made sense why that franchise made a cameo!
0/10
obviously trolling.
That being said if this actually happened it would definitely make me quit.
I didn't have any intention of "jamming it down your throats" as you put it, and I'm not really sure how I did that, but that's beside the point.
I can understand that you don't like MLP, and that you might dislike it even more because of preachy bronies never letting you hear the end of it. I hope you can understand though that it pisses us off nearly as much as it does you, since it's giving us a bad name.
If you read my earlier post you can see that I stated an at least viable reason for this being possible, so you can see why I'm excited about the thought two things that I really like being combined.
P.S. that video is creepy as all hell o__O
Not a manchild just kidding you guys... the video was mean't to clear stuff up for people who didn't get it. BTW I know that video is disturbing.. :) This idea is so against Sk I thought you would immediately get it...
Yeah, lets EVERYONE post a topic on forum general section every time we hear a stupid rumor while we are in haven.
Fair enough.
Good god people are dumb. Does OOO have the rights to MLP? What's that, no they don't? Then they'd have to pay Hasbro a metric crapton for such a thing. The only reason we had Sonic was because OOO is owned by Sega, which has the rights to Sonic. 'Bout the best you're gonna get MLP-wise is maybe an NPC mentioning some kind of cooling system running 20% better than it usually does. I still doubt even that would happen. Are any of the staff bronies anyway?
...With all of that said, I'd totally rock AJs cowboy hat.
Even though this won't happen, it's a terrible idea just from the unpleasant element that it would attract. I wouldn't have an issue with the MLP fanbase (They're either man children or take to much pleasure in unadulterated mind porn, usually both.) but the fact that they not only have to wear that interest on their sleeve but rub it in everyone's faces is what makes them insufferable. They like furries without the suit.
The only ponies I want to see in this game are to be used as glue in Bechamel's accessories
This would be a bad idea. You should know the kind of negative attention this would bring.
(They're either man children or take to much pleasure in unadulterated mind porn, usually both.)
This is just incorrect. Out of the Hundreds of other bronies that i've met over the past year, they've almost always been polite, respectable people that simply enjoy the show for the quality of animation and story. Everyone that doesn't fit into this category has just jumped on the brony band wagon and don't really care about "love and tolerance" at all. The ones that you met must have fallen into the latter category. As for rubbing it in everyone's faces, it pisses me off as much as it does you. You think we want that kind of reputation? I've joined a party before only to be told "nice guild homo" then kicked. (my guild is )
and @Llan
This is a fair point, but I would still like to run around with a rainbow mane and tail accessory on solid cobalt armour ^_^ (I can dream, can't I?)
@Vescrit
Lol'd
P.S. I believe that the cupcake helmets may have been the tiniest reference...either that or I'm a conspiracy theorist.
*toss's thread into wastebin* A.K.A: Graveyard...
I thought people would take it as a joke, I heard it around haven and people were truly believing.. This idea is so against SK that it is unbelievable.
Thanks the reactions were great.
@Venomousbiohazard
So basically you claim you were trolling then?
Trolling with MLP is like shooting fish in a barrel, as most know. But this... how could so many of you miss the joke here? Unless... unless YOU'RE also all trolling? Trollling within Trolling? I... I don't even know anymore...
Wait didn't you ragequit over OCH or something? I swear I saw a thread saying you were leaving.
I wish you hadn't come back.
I do not understand why people hate MLP and bronies so much. So some adults happen to like a cartoon show, is that so wrong? Is that any different from adults who like Spiral Knights? I mean given the graphical style Spiral Knights has, I doubt the game was made with an older audience in mind. Adults who like Spiral Knights does not seem so different to me than adults who like My Little Pony. They are not the target demographic for either franchise but like them nonetheless. It seems to me as if people are basically hating on others just like them, maybe looking at people who like MLP reminds some SK players too much of themselves? Is this hypocrisy or just irony?
SK already has a pony reference in it.
Hint: Two of the shadow lair mats. :3
There are vague similarities that could be perceived as references, and then there's references. In this case, none of them are actually references.
@Nodocchi
Various reasons. One (primary) reason could be because of pony spammers which anger people. Another reason would be the fact that its a franchise aimed at 5 year old girls, and you have male teenagers and 20 year old men watching it. Other reasons (and my case specifically) could be just that they don't like the show, and are tired of seeing it in every nook and cranny on the internet.
Iron-Dragon-Guild's post sums up how I feel about pretty much everything related to this topic.
I don't even...
Blegh, I'm gonna be sick.
That show makes me ashamed to be a male teenager -_-
Nightmare Mane and Celestia Ore are totally a reference to these two.
(It could still be a coincidence, but that's about as much chance as Radiant Silvermail not being a reference to Radiant Silvergun)
@Nodocchi
Re-read my post.
"Other reasons (and my case specifically) could be just that they don't like the show, and are tired of seeing it in every nook and cranny on the internet."
What your talking about was just a possible reason for hating it. I never said anything about my opinions being based off of gender roles.
My problem is the show itself, which I watched, and thought it was a pile of garbage.
Wow, I never realized that people would take this thread seriously... now it is becoming a debate thread? o_O
@Venomousbiohazard
I don't know. I only answered a question lol.
@Ricochetorange
So seeing a couple of references to a show you did not like justifies advocating violence against animals? There are plenty of things I do not like but I do not feel the need to rain on the parades of people who have different tastes and opinions than me. As well I am not talking about the show itself so much as the hate directed at people who happen to enjoy the show. In my opinion the show's quality hardly matters and does not warrant such a knee-jerk reaction as exhibited by some people in this thread. Also I do not think you would have included the other two reasons in your post if you disagreed with them and did not think they were valid reasons for disliking the fanbase.
With great power comes great responsibility.
MLP, being in the highest tier of ragetopics for forums, is akin to fire.
MLP topics cannot be controlled, they can only be unleashed. And then the ragefires shall burn.
I want to wander around Haven dressed as Princess Celestia... that is all.
~Newg
(Note: I have never actually seen the show. :p )
@ nodocci
Maybe this can shed some light

Lemme get this point straight ONCE and for all. I am not a bronie. I hate my little ponies. I was trolling and seeing if a rumor was true at the same time. To everyone who posted vids of people kicking the crap outta ponies, BRAVO! I loved the manga one lol.
