Pinkie Pie's Shoutout #7

It's that time of the year again!  Derpy Day is at March 1st!  Give out muffins, letters, and friendship everypony!  Take a look below!

Hi, I'm Thanqol. I like ponies.

As some of you may know, March 1st is Derpy Day, the greatest holiday of all time. Derpy Day has the following rules:

- You must eat a muffin.
- You must take a picture of yourself walleyed.
- You must write someone a letter.


I, however, want to give something more back to this wonderful, messed-up world and all it's folks. You know the saying that there's no such thing as a free lunch? Screw that. 

The world should totally be a place where you get a free lunch. The world should totally be a place where awesome things happen to you for no reason. And if the world isn't like that already, I'm going to do what I can to make it like that. That's why I'm running Operation: Indiscriminate Friendship.

THE RULES:

- I must distribute 50+ muffins to random passers by on the street.
- I must convince as many random strangers as possible to sing Pinkie Pie's "Singing Telegram" for the camera, which will be compiled into a video which will be uploaded to Youtube
- I must collect as many nice, hopeful and inspirational letters from people from the internet as possible and distribute these to random mailboxes all over town.


To prove I'm not bluffing, here's the link to last year's Derpy Day, where the song of choice was "Evil Enchantress" http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL63DBFF1BFF384B78&feature=mh_lolz


Where you come in:

I want you all to write a letter to a stranger. You'll have no idea who you're writing to because it'll be printed off and dropped into a random mailbox somewhere in Canberra. Maybe it won't get read, but maybe it will, and if it does it might just bring a smile to someone's face. 

You can make them as long or as short as you'd like, but try to keep them less than an A4 page each. I'll also be collecting all these letters into a big document to put up for everyone to read at the end of the event. 

Send all of these letters to indiscriminatefriendship@mail.com 

(Note: Don't send attachments; put the text in the body of the email)

Optional Objectives:

If you feel I'm onto something, here are some things you can do to help make this event a little more indiscriminate.

- I need a poster image. I can design one myself but it'll be mediocre. It needs to promise free muffins in big, eye catching letters and not be too obviously pony related. I'll put any submissions in the compilation post.
- Sing "Singing Telegram" yourself, or convince any friends or passerby to do so on your behalf. If you know anyone with an awesome voice now's the time to call in a favour. I'll add any such videos to the completed Youtube playlist; email the links to the same email address.
- Print off and distribute your own copies of the Letters to a Stranger
- Hold your own parallel Derpy Day where you distribute your own set of free muffins.


Thank you for your time, everypony. Let's make the best pony proud.

Yours truly,

- Thanqol

Pinkie Pie's Shoutout #5

Operation: Sharing Kindness is back!  Let's hear about it from Moony!

Hi everypony!  In case you haven't heard, Operation Sharing Kindness is a My Little Pony community donation drive which collects funds from generous ponies like you and makes donations to charities under the pony name!  Due to an unfortunate crashed solid state drive, the project came to a screeching halt over Christmas, but the lost work has been reassembled and everything is full steam ahead!

First off DONATIONS ARE NOW OPEN FOR COLLECTION!  LINK:

https://www.wepay.com/x1a5nbz/donations/operation-sharing-kindness

^ You can use that link to contribute to our cause! To those who have pledged in the past, I am very sorry, most of our pledge list was lost in the crash, but I hope I can still count on you to donate!

Our goal is five thousand dollars... I hope we can reach that amount!  We can do it, everypony!

The opening of the donation page is not the only thing to celebrate, though!  We're going to be beginning our STEAM Game Raffle as well!

THE GREAT GAME RAFFLE

If you donate ten dollars to Operation Sharing Kindness and add "Sign me up for the Raffle!" to your donation description, you will be entered into our STEAM game raffle!  Every ten dollars equals once chance to win, so if you donate more, you will have a greater chance of taking the grand prize!

The Grand Prize Winner (1 winner) will receive: 

Left 4 Dead 2, Just Cause 2, The Orange Box (Half Life 2, Half Life 2: Episode One, Half Life 2: Episode 2, Portal, Team Fortress 2), The Grand Theft Auto Complete Package (GTA, GTA 2, GTA 3, GTA 4, GTA: Episodes from Liberty City, GTA: San Adreas, GTA: Vice City) The Max Payne Bundle (Max Payne, Max Payne 2), Dungeons of Dredmor Complete Pack (Dungeons of Dredmor, Dungeons of Dredmor: Realm of the Diggle Gods), Day of Defeat: Source, The Humble Indie Bundle 4, Medieval II: Total War, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved, World of Goo, Dungeon Defenders, Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee, Bit Trip Runner, The Binding of Isaac, Psychonauts, Audiosurf, Rock of Ages, Terraria, Space Pirates and Zombies, the Cthulhu Saves the World & Breath of Death VII Double Pack, Steel Storm, AaAaAA!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity, Super Meat Boy, World Basketball Manager 2010, Aliens Vs.

...and potentially more!  We might not be able to give away every game on STEAM, but at least you won't go bored ^^

If you don't win the grand prize though...

The Second Place Winners (many winners!) may receive:

The Orange Box, Half Life 2: Episode One, Day of Defeat: Source, Space Pirates and Zombies, or lots of other fun games! Who knows what interesting game you will end up winning?

Winners will be chosen fairly with a random number generator.  Second place winners will also have their prizes assigned to them in a similar fashion! 

You need to have STEAM and be willing to accept these gifts over STEAM if you enter this raffle!

THE PLUSHIE AUCTION

Operation Sharing Kindness has a pony plushie auction coming up, and we'd love for you to pay attention to it when the time comes!  Please keep in mind that our top donator will be receiving a custom made plushie of their choice, courtesy of Dawni Blush over on Ponychan's /merch/!

CLOSING STATEMENT

Remember that we're still looking for banners or even story writers!  There may be a potential contest in the future for you story writing, artistic, and musical ponies :).  We could really use a nice new banner, if anypony is interested in helping with that!

Here's the donation link again!

And here is our thread over on Ponychan's /collab/!

http://www.ponychan.net/chan/collab/res/30261.html

Thank you all so much for your help with Operation Sharing Kindness, everypony!  Let's go show the world what ponies are all about ^^

Sometimes we all just need to be shown a little kindness...

~Moony ♥

Sharing Kindness is an Easy Feat ~

Pinkie Pie's Shoutout #4

BroNYCon, the world's first and largest My Little Pony Friendship is Magic convention which is held every three months in New York, had their first convention take place in June 2011. BroNYCon will be holding a convention June 30. This year BronyCon will be held at Meadowlands Exposition Center, in Secaucus New Jersey! It has been confirmed that Lauren Faust and John De Lancie, the voice actor behind Discord, will be there as special guests! Alot more awesome things are coming, so stay tuned! This BronyCon Summer is going to be huge, thousands of ponies will be there! Hope to see you there!

Pinkie Pie's Shoutout #3

Balloon Party!

Almost every Brony musician is going to make a track for this huge album!  The deadline is at June.

Have an explanation from these Bronies:
Aussie and I have started a project that will be giving you a chance to break your restraints. Don't worry about how pony your song is (although being clever is encouraged), don't worry about whether your song is complex or simple. Don't worry about what people will think of your track, because these questions don't matter when your song is as intense and hardcore and awesome quality as you can possibly muster. We're here to bring the blood and mud to the speakers. From death electro to heavy metal, these tracks will go as hard as an unstoppable force on an immovable object. The drops will be intense. The licks will be supreme. The riffs will pound sensationally. You get a bunch of masters of music on stage and you have to stick out. It's time to throw the Balloon Party.


Now something from Seth:
Why are they doing this? 

To invade a certain pony themed convention taking place at the end of June of course.   Bronycon is about to go ALL OUT MUSIC.   These guys need money though, and your donations will help them reach their goal of letting everyone attend.
