Let's Make a Pony! Choosing a Pony Species! Update Re-vote!

[aluke]

Welcome to Let's Make a Pony!

What is Let's Make a Pony?
The basic point of the game is to create a pony as a community through a series of polls. These polls will ask basic questions to determine our ponies physical appearance, most popular choice when the poll is closed wins that round. Since this is supposed to be a fun community game, please feel free to share your opinions and comments in this thread.

Let's see how wild our pony will be!

What's the Purpose?
No real final goal but to have fun and see what we come up with together. I will be drawing it as we go along so we will have a visual representation. If anyone wants to join along with art, a custom, or anything else creative, feel free!

About voting.
You can only vote for one option, but you are free to change your vote as many times as you like until the poll is closed. Only one poll will be up and running, so when one poll is closed it will be closed permanently and that trait of the pony will be final.

Edit: Ugh, I fixed something on the poll and it auto locked the option to alter your vote, so no more switching for this round. I'll be more careful next round. Sorry, you do have a lot of time to think it over though.

Now that that's out of the way...
Today we start off with the basics, what species race should "Arena Pony" be? Since this is the first thread, and will basically gauge interest. I will leae this one open for voting for one week. Last day to vote for our pony race is September 15th!.

Aaand hopefully I covered everything for now. I already see myself editing the OP to be more pretty a lot. So let's get started!

Edit.
Initial poll results from round one, for documentation. Unicorn dominated in the end but due to request, we have one last detail to vote on before moving on. Poll open until the end of September 16th!

This looks like a fun game. There's too many of my favorite breeds to choose from so I'll have to vote later.

[Leave a Whisper]

Sea pony! Shoo bee doo shoop shoop bee doo!

[Carrehz]

Ooh, this reminds me of "franken" games on PonyIsland hehe I loved those so I think I'll like this!! I voted for winged unicorn

[Dragonflitter]

Oh holy cow, I haven't played on PI in over like seven years... I used to be big there. I forgot all about franken-pony games! This is way cool!

[Epona]

Flutter. they are so dainty and have the prettiest wings

[aluke]

Yay, glad you guys think this will be fun too and is nostalgic for some of you. I can't wait to see how average or absolutely crazy our pony will turn out.

First day in and it looks like unicorn and bug wings are the main competition, but everything else is pretty neck in neck and lots of time left for things to flip around.

Sea pony! Shoo bee doo shoop shoop bee doo!

Agreed! Seaponies are just too dang adorable.

Why is Winger and Breezie in the same option?

Winger ponies are about the size of their pegasus counter parts while breezies are much smaller than most of the other proper pony races.

And I wanted to pick Winger as among the rare pony races, they tend to be extremely rare.  In fact winger can be divided into summer wing and winter wing.

[aluke]

Because I genuinely forgot that breezies were tiny, which is a pretty major feature for them so shame on me. 

As me mentioning 'bug wings' above, I kind of see them as relatives. If they win together, it would bring up the question about wing shape, and, because they are a 'bug pony' and not simply a winger or breezie, I could justify adding various insect wings to choose from. The antennae would come up too, and I do conveniently have a poll I can address the issue on the size if the two do win.

If everyone else has an issue with wingers and breezies being placed together, feel free to let me know and I can split them up.

[ghouldilocks]

I didn't even think about it when I voted, but my vote was definitely for winger, NOT for breezie

[Carrehz]

I think Wingers/Breezies should be split up too, they are pretty different after all
