Line 69:
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: [[Played for Laughs]] when Rarity's player makes her overreact to Twilight's pointing out {{spoiler|how she helped the sea serpent}} in this fashion.
* [[Never Split the Party]]: Pinkie Pie reacts badly when AJ suggests this.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: At the end of the Nightmare Moon arc, the GM invokes this by telling Twilight's player that {{spoiler|they can't play anymore because she utterly demolished all hisher original plans}}. Fortunately, the others call himher on this.
* [[The Nicknamer]]: Dash is the 'can't be bothered learning your real name' variety, calling the others by their classes.
* [[Noob|Newb]]: Both Twilight and Fluttershy's players are new to roleplaying. Twilight is well versed in the rules of [[Dungeons and Dragons]], while Fluttershy is less interested in the rules than she is in the setting itself.
Line 94:
'''Applejack:''' ''Stop talkin'!!'' }}
* [[Required Secondary Powers]]: Applejack's player establishes this about cutie marks. Essentially, if a pony's cutie mark symbolizes what they're best at, they have to know ''everything'' about that particular subject, and barring obscenely specific talents, there's bound to be some skills that overlap with other fields. So even though, for example, Applejack is an apple farmer, there are plenty of skills and aptitudes that cross over into her player class as a ranger.
* [[Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies]]: When Twilight threatens to derail hisher planned plot completely, the GM responds by threatening a [[Total Party Kill]] courtesy of Nightmare Moon.
** Actually happens to the CMC's {{spoiler|in their scene with Fluttershy taken from Staremaster. The CMC's try to derail the plot by accusing Fluttershy of being evil when she sets them a fetch quest, promptly attacking her familiar, Angel. Fluttershy promptly reveals herself to be a 15th level druid and wipes them out.}}
* [[Schrodinger's Gun]]: The GM has this in hisher arsenal, and Applejack's player is [[Genre Savvy]] enough to recognize it, to the point she warns himher against turning an idle comment by Twilight into a plot twist.
* [[Schrodinger's Suggestion Box]]: As the GM is still creating the game world, they're open to ideas from the players. For instance, Applejack gets all the benefits of the money Sweet Apple Acres brings in because her player put a lot of hard work into her background and family tree.
* {{spoiler|[[Sequence Breaking]]: Nightmare Moon was supposed to take up the entire campaign, and they got through it in a night.}}
Line 103:
* [[Talking the Monster to Death]]: Dash's pet peeve. She's not too thrilled whenever an encounter ends without violence.
* [[Team Mom]]: Applejack's player encourages the others and is more than willing to help the newbies get accustomed to the game. She also uses this to justify a little metagaming here and there, such as being familiar enough with both Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie that she's ready to run damage control when they start being themselves.
* [[Tempting Fate]]: When they first learn about the Elements of Harmony, the party decides that, while they don't know how to use them, they should collect the Elements anyway, if only to prevent Nightmare Moon from using them. Applejack's player immediately tells the GM that if heshe hadn't come up with that idea on hisher own, heshe can't use it now.
** Just before the Manticore encounter, Dash comments that she'd like to face something that isn't a cliff or cloud. She's rather pleased when it shows up.
* [[This Is Gonna Suck]]: Rarity's player reacts this way when she hears Pinkie Pie's about to use a Glib Limerick.
