Another "Gaming Webcomic"? But I am sorry, what?!?

Spidey sense sez "anything from the Mario franchise"

"78 is too short"...

Yay, ponies! It's been a while since Dan's last MLP reference, so this was a nice surprise. I'm not sure if I agree with Dan's coloring choices, but they do look quite nice anyway. And now we know that Sarah and Ellen are Earth ponies like Justin. Too bad their Cutie Marks aren't visible, though.

Anyway... Still no Tedd? Did Dan forget his promise? Or will the next page show what Tedd has been doing this whole time? I hope so.

I think Ellen looks more like Scootaloo...

The 'Uh, what just happened?' look on Sarah's face in panel 2 begs the question of whether that's a literal transformation or just a metaphor.

I don't think they're based on any characters from the show, they're simply themselves ponified and that's just fine with me. Also, I'm glad that Dan didn't make them all unicorns even though everyone in the Main Eight can use magic now. So far we know that Grace is a unicorn and Justin, Sarah and Ellen are Earth ponies. I'm pretty sure that makes Elliot an Earth pony too, considering how Ellen was created. That leaves Tedd, Susan and Nanase. Nanase is a powerful magic user, so she should probably be a unicorn, but hey, she can fly, so she could be a pegasus. What do you guys think? As for Tedd and Susan, they are most likely either unicorns or Earth ponies. It's impossible to have an even number of three races when there are eight main characters, so it really doesn't matter if there is only one pegasus in the Mane Eight.

Oh wait, Nanase has blood of queens inside her. That means she is an Alicorn. :)

I'm pretty sure it's just a metaphor and Sarah is breaking the fourth wall a little.

Dan promised Tedd would show up?

I was gonna say Tedd was an Alicorn, but Nanase works. Neither Earth Pony (he's too odd) nor Unicorn (magic but not) quite sits right for Tedd with me, so Pegasus?

Eeyup. In the commentary of the very first page of this storyline.

I dunno. Some Earth ponies are very odd (Pinkie Pie) and since they can't use magic, they're good with science (Doctor Hooves).

It isn't completely impossible for the script to have changed. The commentary you linked to almost seems to treat Tedd as a means of establishing the temporal location of this story relative to the tournament. But today's final panel strongly suggests Christmas/December anyway. I guess we'll find what/who they are looking at on Friday.

I almost agreed with you on the time table, but then I remembered that Christmas was the time when Sarah and Elliot were breaking up. IMO I don't think Sarah would bee keen to work on an MV5 while she was having relationship issues.

Somehow I am now imagining Susan as being the most like Rarity--she pretends to be all aloof and dignified, but is actually really kind underneath.

The way that Sarah and Ellen have been talking, it seems that Sarah has already broken up with Elliot . . .

I know, that's why I always assumed this took place around the current EGS storyline (Tourny night or thereabouts). Liontari made me question that belief for a while until I recalled what was happeneing with Sarah at Christmastime.

Eh, ok. I still don't like it exactly, but none of them really account of "dangerous rarity," so no real reason not to do Earth Pony

I'm pretty sure the christmas thing is completely out of the blue and has nothing to do with anything.

Pretty certain the last panel was just goofy filler and not actually relevant to the story. That said. Dan probably plans on having Tedd walk in on Friday.

Without any explanation, it's very random even for EGS. If one excludes fantasy sequences and non-canon cutaway gags, there really aren't any notable non sequiturs in the comic. But I haven't read all of it even twice yet, I may be completely wrong. And the pony panel certainly doesn't help my case.

Perhaps charge in, panting, exclaiming that he got there as fast as he could ('cos his sexiness senses were tingling)....and the girls will play innocent and act like they were just playing videogames all along. ;-)

Also, no Edward. Did he actually came and just wasn't shown? Did Ellen only THOUGH he's coming? Did she made it up just to get Grace dress?

Or possibly losing the game.

I though they break shortly before Christmas, but it was actually on 27th December ... I would still consider more likely they learned true meaning of Christmas after Christmas than that Sarah was doing this while preparing to break up with Elliot. Not speaking about the "like a sister" thing.
