What is Let's Make a Pony?
Spoiler
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!  ;)

Last Round.

We're getting a constellation theme!

About voting.

N/A for now.

For today's poll...

Before we vote on a name, we need to decide on some to choose between. So for the next few days, I'm asking you to leave a name suggestion or two over here. Names can be anything you can think of that you think will fit our star-speckled pony. I'm not entirely sure the maximum number of poll options, so if need be, there may be multiple polls if we get too many entries. For the naming portion, three days should be plenty, submit your suggestions by Jan 13th!

Edit.

The names are in, time for our final poll. You have one vote, but have the option to switch your vote until the polls close. Let's give ourselves three days, last day to vote is Jan 17th!

Let's get voting!  :frolic:

How about Cassiopeia? I always thought that was a pretty name for a constellation.

Ooh, I like Polaris.

I was wonder if there are that many Andromeda and '79 Battlestar Galactica fans on this board.

Seriously, Hasbro should just hire the bunch of us and we could design ponies from start to finish.  We're doing a better job here than the current team.

I like the original Battlestar Galactica. My mom and I used to watch it together on the sci fi channel.

The only problem is she's not overly pink and using one of the mane6's symbols.  :P

Generation and pose are not things that I ever intended to be voted on. I didn't want anyone feeling left out by turning it gen specific, plus, if anyone wants to make customs, they have the freedom to choose any pony they like.  ^.^

OOoh, so many pretty-sounding choices... this was one of the toughest polls yet!
I voted for Star Shower, though. It just has a lovely feeling to it, I think..

Cassiopeia is keeping the lead, but there is still time for things to change around.

My day off was supposed to be today, but of course now someone's asking to swap shifts, so I will get 'Arena Pony's' final design finished by tomorrow. So close to the end!

No, this isn't for the Genie line, I'm afraid. The people behind the Genie line have already said that a TAF TE pearlized pony with color-changing glow-in-the-dark hair would be too complicated to mass produce, haha.

I'm fond of Cassiopeia because of a line from the song "Bonfire" by Third Eye Blind. It's just a fun word that's really pretty.

"And I am high like a star that's flying / Cassiopeia / Everything's changing now"

Lostpony- you completely lost me at brother.  ^^; 'Arena Pony' has been determined as female at the beginning of the game. She is not transparent, and her symbols are constellation themed, not planets, so I'm totally confused.

Mrbrightsky is right in saying this is not affiliated with the fan made G1 fakies. This is an arena game that I'm hosting, independently, with no intention to mass produce the final product.

There are so many great names it was hard to choose my favourite. I'm the first to vote for Estrella, but it was a very close five way tie haha :P

My other favourite names are beautiful but when I picture the pony I imagine a very deep pearlized purple base, not a light almost ethereal pony like we've designed together :)

eew color-changing glow in the dark hair.  Sounds yucky!

I found the spoiler in the OP and I get the idea.  I went ahead and voted.  It looks like Cassiopeia is winning...I didn't vote for Cassiopeia but it is quite nice.
