ANNOUNCING! This Wednesday, February 29th, EquestriaMUCK will be observing A Very Discord Leap Day! The 29th of February only comes around once every four years, and we couldn't let it go unobserved. So what does this mean?
It means that on the evening of Tuesday the 28th, Ponyville will be visited, once again, by Discord, that draconequine rapscallion of chaos. And one way or another, he'll be bringing about an altered state of events that'll last through the 29th. But unlike last time, Discord won't be simply changing current conditions. Rather, he'll be plunging us into an alternate world where the extent to which things are different is limited only by your imaginations!
In this alternate existence, your character could be a different race or have a different cutie mark. She or he could have a different job or a different lover...or even be the new monarch of Equestria! (Can you say "dibs"?) There can even be technology that doesn't exist in the normal ponyverse. It'll be a crazy day that'll hopefully also be great fun.
Will your character remember any of it afterwards? At this point, I'm thinking not. Remembering an alternate past is just too confusing for everyone to juggle. If you really want your character to have faint memories or dreams of what happens on Leap Day, though, that'll probably be okay. It depends on how Discord chooses to bring things about.
So! If you're up for it, reply to this thread with your ideas for what should be different on Leap Day--for yourself or the world as a whole. It'll be good to work out some of it in advance--though of course, there's plenty to be said for being spontaneous! If there are disagreements, the wizards may step in to make the final call. Now, have at it! ;D
