Last weekend, we had a great time. 10-12 men sat in a synchtube room and watched My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, most of us were in Ventrilo (Which in my opinion made the whole thing even better) and we shared many humorous moments together during those five hours of nonstop pony goodness.
We managed to get in a few new bronies to the herd, including Lord Mountbatten, KaosuHamoni and a few more. We also managed to accidentally let in a few randoms (Room was set to public for a moment =S), who took a shine to our community and ended up joining us as a result of our good will and friendly nature.
But sadly, the marathon was forced to take a break after going strong for five hours. Some of us had to go to bed and Fireside was looming around the corner. We decided to simply pause the marathon and pick up where we left off next Saturday.
Well, next Saturday is almost here.
This Saturday, me and Blackadder will be hosting a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic marathon again.
We're going to pick up where we left off, at Episode 15, Feeling Pinkie Keen.
QUESTIONS!
Spoiler! :
But Pinmissile! I have never seen My Little Pony and it looks silly! Why should I join in?
I’m going to quote Jake, I think he said it best.

If you’re still sceptical and our word is not enough, I’d like to remind you all that you’ll be watching with your fellow friends from Escapecraft. You’ll be able to chat with each other, link pictures and vote on polls. We promise you a fun day and we’ll do our best to deliver!
If you’ve never seen My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic before and if you’re still sceptical, this is a perfect opportunity to give it a go and see if it’s your cup of tea or not.
Even Black loves the show! And he’s a certified Australian!
But Pinmissile! How will we be able to watch the show at the same time over the internet?
We’ll use synchtube for this occasion, Synchtube allows several people to watch videos from Youtube simultaneously.
The room will be private, so you’ll only be able to join in if you have a direct link. The room will be moderated by me and Blackadder to keep out the trolls and make sure that we’re all having a good time.
If you don’t have a strong connection, you may have difficulties syncing the video with other members.
But Pinmissile! You haven’t said when we’re going to do this!
The Marathon will be on the 21st of May, Saturday, 15:00 Central European Time (+1). That’s 14:00 for you Brits out there and 23:00 for the Aussies. All of Season 1 is almost nine hours, We expect to watch through the rest of the season tonight.
But Pinmissile! How will you keep the room safe from trolls and haters?
I will moderate the synchtube room without pause, the room will not be published on the main page, so the only way to join is by having a direct link which I will provide an hour before the marathon.
Please, do not put this link on any other forums, you may share it with friends and such, but if the room gets too crowded with people I am not familiar with, or if people whose intent is to only cause disarray and ruin our fun suddenly appear, I'll put up a password on the channel.
But Pinmissile! Who’s your favourite pony?
Pinkie Pie! She’s just so darn gosh random.
I will put up the synchtube room an hour before we kick the marathon off and reply to this thread with a link. During this time I will play pony videos upon request.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in this thread!
So get ready for an even more awesome day of ponies!

11pm-8am sounds like a good night. I'd still be up for that if I were an aussie. Fortunately I'm in the UK so that's 2pm-11pm, no all nighter required.
We have been going for almost five hours now! So far, everyone is enjoying themselves, and we even managed to convert a few people into bronies. We're 12 people right now.
We went on for a strong six hours before things started to tone down due to people getting tired and a sudden meeting with the mods.
But don't worry! The pony marathon will continue from where we left off next week at the same time (Saturday 15:00 CET)
Thank you so much for joining us, We had roughly 12 people in the channel during most of the marathon watching My Little Pony and we all had a great time! We even managed to recruit some members to our community!
=S), who took a shine to our community and ended up joining us as a result of our good will and friendly nature.
