>>43285885 i think it's great that horses are actually able to sweat compared to other animals so it's officially canon and that mode of expression can be used without breaking immersion
Hello Ponies, we haven't had one of these in a while but I figured it might be a good time to bring it back. The events and such of the month ahead! >We're starting on the 5th Yes I know, I didn't have the idea until a little while ago. Sorry...
5th; Friday Party 6th; Grid drive / 'Baseball club' photoshoot (Posing starts at 6 am until 11:30 am SLT - More details in notices.) / Listening Party @ Mare Hall 7th; Movie Night (In the hangout) 8th; Weeb Night! (Watching FMA; Brotherhood right now!) 12th; Friday Party 13th; Grid drive 14th; Movie Night (In the hangout) 15th; Weeb Night! 19th; Friday Party 20th; Grid drive / Baking Contest at 5pm SLT. >>43282625 21st; Movie Night (In the hangout) 22nd; Weeb Night! 26th; Friday Party 27th; Grid drive 28th; Movie Night (In the hangout) 29th; Weeb Night! I didn't calculate individual events like Nuxi and friends watching Star Trek, since that's on a case by case basis. Thankfully Nuxi has a board in front of their house.
If I missed anything, I apologize! Regardless there are notices whenever something is going on in the group notices. I shall be back next month to announce the goings on for July!
>>43285996 It's not that they're not official or anything. I just don't know the schedule. Since sometimes it feels like they're every other day. Not a bad thing, and I'm grateful to Marj for doing them but the schedule seems more than just often.
>>43286032 Anon, I made a pony I was exceedingly proud of. I had been trying with tri-colour manes for a little while and then I thought "I'll use the primary colours." So, I used a pastel red, pastel yellow and pastel blue. Then after I was done with adding varying BoM parts to make it look a little more than just a basic blank BoM skin, I went back down from the sandbox where I was instantly told "You look like Starry's OC" so, Starry made their pony first, but regardless - a pony cannot own primary colours. Still - thank you for drawing attention to Starry and their cute pony.
Thanks for all the photos, photoponies. Once again I was kinda too mush in the head from the week for taking photos tonight but great to see you guys took great pics
>>43286161 We should have a hackers event some time with all sorts of cheesy hackpunk shit going on... Sunglasses, long black coats, green verically scrolling pseudo japanese letters, computer terminals everywhere and then we watch Hackers
>>43286207 for a sec I thought the file said vaporflussy and I thought it's another one of those "pussy" variations and wondered what a fucking vaporflussy is in that shot
>>43264214 "Baseball Club" shoot is currently underway at the dock. Posing continues until 11:30AM, photos are going to be taken until 2 PM Pose cubes will be provided as usual, on which you pick pose, sit and go afk if needed
You can pose in small groups or join larger group for a photo posing in smaller groups will make it easier to get your idea across.
>>43286425 the baltimare compatible version of mine got his passport revoked for not being pastel enough and my sleep deprived ass couldn't figure out why the customization hud wasn't accepting any new hex codes last night so I don't care about studurday anymore
>>43287070 to specify a bit more, tail is gone, claws are gone, sharp teeth gone, it's his pony form, basically just a weird bat now >>43287030 I also still can't find popen sombra armor so I don't want to use him either, and stallionlaris is from 2022 so.... well, I suppose the EP is an option. that one is fine.
I could also make a new stallion entirely in theory but I have no money for new stallion parts and everything I've bought so far is for mares mostly and making a new popen is always a pain. but editing them is pain too I guess so maybe it's a skill issue.
>>43287030 anyway this was really just bait to ask how the fuck you're supposed to recolor a popen when it's using (I think??) BOM, cause entering a hex to the hud just turns them black, so I click the bom button to turn it to blue and then off and then back to green, but then they're just the color they started at again. it's the thing below the bom selector where it says enter RGB but it'll also take a hex code, unless that's busted and it really does need RGB? idk, memory fuzzy, computer isn't running so I can't just go check
>>43287124 are there even any pose cubes left, i have no idea what's going on. I missed the anni screenshots too because the photo popen was just afk when i arrived and wouldn't give anypony else any cubes to sit on, so i guess that's whats happening here.
>>43287130 If you're using BOM, you don't tint your pony with the HUD. You use the BOM base layers, like "[OP] BOM OpenPony Blank" Edit this, scroll down and tint the colour there after enabling BOM in your HUD.
>>43287135 I still haven't seen the anni photo I just assume I missed it like I miss everything else >>43287136 >>43287140 well fuck its a skill issue again is this something I edit from inventory or something I edit from the outfit menu? I remember some weirdness like that for something, it might've been eyeshadow (which isn't relevant for a stallion lol)
>>43287148 edit from inventory, make sure you have "BOM OpenPony Blank" added, right click it and hit edit, find the color at the bottom right and click it.
>>43287158 well nta but i arrived on time and ruby was just afk/busy, so i guess I just had bad luck? I didn't' feel like leaving my computer on for 8+hrs just to arrive early to the shoot.
>>43287163 >I didn't' feel like leaving my computer on for 8+hrs just to arrive early to the shoot. This is pretty much how it is done around here whether you like it or not so get used to it for most photoshoots.
>>43287174 Ok guess I'll just be a hidden popen and spend most of my time off-sim, sucks to be me i guess. I dunno, baltimare doesn't have much to do in it, i know there's parties and stuff but half of the time I'm just awkwardly standing around and none of my friends are there. The field trips are just OK, but joining mid-field trip isn't fun, no idea how the griddy is though, but i have no vehicle(s) to participate in it with and as mentioned before, don't want to try grinding for a freebie vehicle.
>>43287163 >>43287182 Group pictures take SEVERAL hours to take, with all the ponies trickling in and coming late and crashing and wrong animations and retakes. Therefore, coming early being prepared and being afk is a good solution. Don't feel pressured ending up on all the group pictures though, if you don't want to afk for them it is fine
>>43287182 I have been a background pony for years who ponies didn't notice disappearing for a longer while. Perhaps Balti just isn't for you and you don't click with the folks just like I do but one thing is for sure: 'Standing around awkwardly' isn't going to win anything for you. There's a chance you're involved when you engage with activities, doesn't have to be but not doing anything won't net you a lot
>>43287368 This was easier than I thought! I had a much older drawing with different colors, so I went with those as a test, and I think it looks okay. Gave him some clothes, too. I don't really know what else to do besides just making a completely different OC, which I'll do eventually! I do plan to make more popens! I just hate knowing that popens of mine are.... "broken". Or... incomplete. Unfinished?
I wasn't even going to bother, but Moony's eye got fucked up again, and the only way to fix it is swapping to a different popen and back, so I figured, might as well... I really wish I knew why the pupils keep disappearing like that.
>>43287392 Polaris I'm pretty sure Neri is just fucking with you I don't think you're going to get banned over this popen just because you didn't make him conform hard enough. It sets a pretty terrible precedent. Giving him proper hooves and removing the awful dragon tail was enough. This does look better though.
>>43287182 >i have no vehicle(s) to participate in it with We have a folder in the freebie box marked "vehicles" It's one of the sparser folders, but it does have stuff you can use
>>43287163 >>43287135 You can probably rez your own pose box and set it so it's editable by everypone so photopopens can move it for you. Marble said this during the anni photo, in the instructions, too.
I’m worried ponies don’t talk to me or enjoy my company because I’m not a sexual mare Feels like sometimes I need to be lewd to grab someones attention
>>43288360 Lewd will get attention, but I think a better way to get attention (and more effective!) is to be fun. Put up a booth of some sort where you sell advice for one linden, stand next to another pony and try dancing to see if you can start a circle of dancing powy, that kind of thing. Idk. Haven't done it myself, but I've seen it happen.
>>43288360 >don’t talk to me or enjoy my company Nah, no way, you can chat, not being sexual doesn't negatively impact you, and as long as you are not an ugly sparkly dog, everyone loves to see a popen around, whoever they are. > because I’m not a sexual mare It's true that many popens around think with their dick, having an horny avi or being lewd will attract more attention. Up to you if you choose to be a slut or having something original for attention
>>43287182 >ruby was afk/busy You could have just rezzed your own box and posed yourself next to others If you're anxious about dragging your avatar next to somepony, ask them first if it's alright >field trips They've been hit or misses for a while now, I sadly have to agree with you there. I wish they were more rare and I wish we wouldn't stop at a lot of normie shops for example >grid drives As >>43287340 and >>43287449 said the problem you described is also a non-issue What I would add is if you never participated in griddy, give it a try next week. They feel much more lively than field trips for a few reasons They are on the weekend so more ponies are present, and you can actively talk to each other because only one person has to focus on driving There's also little sidequests and events that make them unique
>>43288365 >>43288435 Thank you for the advice anons it might just be me overthinking due to still being a slight newfag Tonight when I'm online I'll try and be a bit more social, just sad that I keep wondering which mare of mine will make a popen want to keep talking to me

Attention ponies of Baltimare: "Mares with flares" is a forced/joke term intended to parody the similar non-pony rhyming term "chicks with dicks". That does not mean the word "flare" is suddenly interchangeable with the word "dick". "Flare" refers to the fact that the tip/head of a horse's penis widens ("flares") at the time of orgasm. My point is, every time you say your pony has a "flare" and you really mean "dick", I just imagine your pony has a road flare between their legs, and also I die a little inside from autism because of the misuse of a word. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
>>43289457 That coincidentally reminded me how the >almost borderline unusable long dick bottom >normal to tad small dick top coupling is so insanely rare. Practically non-existent.
>>43289389 I will make strong attempts to be around this friday, but I have been told in the past that more frequent postings cheapens the ploota, so I have since tried to keep it to occasions
>>43290285 Ponder this though. Weak faggoty-ass little femcolts being pinned down and >rape 'd by mares putting them in their rightful place then sending them to go make a sandwich
>>43290353 does this look like a femcolt snout to you he would never let mares do such things to him no this is not a challenge and im not making an obvious bluff
>>43290364 >does this look like a femcolt snout to you Yes. It's a state of mind, not a shape. In fact call me Pol Pot the way any stallion with glasses better watch out lest they end up a sire.
WEEB NIGHT FMA continues tonight at noon SLT and the conspiracy is unraveling. Wait does unraveling mean it's being revealed or that it's coming apart? Cause it's not coming apart. Sorry I'm ESL
>>43290365 That's too much. If the proposal is longer than 3 lines Linden Lab shrivels up like a dick after a 55 hour gooning session, maybe strong enough to mark as "TRACKED" and then close the tab and permanently forget about the proposal.
>>43288360 There are plenty of pure ponies, "Aces" and exclusive-partner ponies in Baltimare that don't fuck with everypony. You could be the next Marj, Hibiscus, or Meadows if you want to, you just have to be likable and kind.
If that's not possible for you for whatever reason, just try to talk to someone for attention, but don't come off as attention seeking obviously. Be yourself without try to attract too much negative attention I guess.
>>43290659 >>43290659 No this was good to hear, it's not like I'm a complete pure mare I enjoy making semi-lewd punk designs but I don't enjoy lewding Been trotting around as my Kirin and trying and give out hugs and nuzzles when I can
>>43288360 >>43290815 I make raunchy jokes, maybe be borderline flirty sometimes and have no issue with lewdness in the place but I'm also one of those who just don't really actively do actual lewd stuff and in my case simply because polygoncolliding with others really isn't as much fun to me as doing other things and to be honest it always felt kinda off to me when I tried it way way back. It is not because I wanna be oh so wholesome or some fucking shit. If I wanna get my rocks off I'll just have a wank and don't need to control a jet cockpit for that or write a book in realtime for someone to read. I understand that this is great for others, kinda get the appeal and I will never try to talk that out of them but yeah I'm just having more fun being a silly pony doing stupid shit or having cool or just nice convos with others. Much more fulfilling for me.
>>43289192 This is such a ginger and wasabi thing to do I love these two so much bros >>43289202 amazing event as always thank you Ruby so much for organizing
