Posters have been hung up all over the town square, showing a picture of three ponies and a griffon, all standing on their hindlegs and wearing multicolored military uniforms and holding instruments. Orion, standing on the far left, is wearing a yellow-green uniform and is holding a French horn in his forelegs. Next to him is Agile Flourish, who is in pink and holds a trumpet in her hooves. Next to her is Shadow Feather, in blue, holding a clarinet in his talons. On the far right, in orange, is Arcane Scholar, holding a flute. In front of them is a bass drum, with the words SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND written on it in large letters. There is also descriptive text below the picture, which reads as follows:

Homeless Man Turns To Zombie

"""im a sophomore at Lakota East, and my friends were all telling me about this at school this morning. thing is....if you read it-burning fever on the inside of his body, growling at the confronting people, and worst of all, being blatantly strong enough to subdue another grown man and consume his flesh from hi face-while he was still alive. Also theres the fact that he was shot several times before he died. Um, he's a hobo turned zombie. Make you wonder how many cases like this have happened-and been covered up by other people? Yes? Good.

A sad note

A tear stained note in pink ink can be found pinned to the billboard that reads as followed:

"Hi everyone. I'm sorry I couldn't fly to each of you and hug you and tell you in pony this but Ryu, Kyuu and I are leaving Ponyville for a while and I don't know when we'll be back. I'm sorry and please don't let this upset you because we will be back at some point. I love all of you and I'll see you later.

 ♥ Love Kyubi. ♥

The local Ponyville newspaper has an article in the Music "What's Hot" section:

"Residents of Ponyville! There is a new smokin' rock and roll fusion band from Appaloosa, The Desperados. Only a train ride away! Come see the newest hit to the rock and roll scene. This blend of contemporary rock and roll with old school country and folk has been a real hit out West, and this group is definitely going to be going on a continental tour at this rate. The band has gone through some members but recently settled on some new talent, including veteran slide guitar player "Pokey Pony Paul" and a killer drummer who calls himself "The Ghost Fighter". There are rumors of a Ponyville appearance but nothing has yet been confirmed. The Desperados' next show is in Appaloosa at the only salt bar in town on Friday, May 18th at 9:00 PM. Tickets are selling like water on a hot day, so buy today!"  Below the advertsiement was a photo of the band, with a short drummer that looked a lot like Rhythm.

Canon Character Policy Update #3 among other things

For a while we wanted to try and see how character sharing would work for the sake of getting characters used more often, but if anything it has proven detrimental. A lack of communication between CC players and a feeling of not really having a real grip on a character that's shared as well as seeing which characters were un-shared vs. those that were, has led us to conclude that sharing CC's is not going to be in the best interest of anypony. Folks that have them don't feel like playing them, and the community is often without them, which is something that needs to be changed for the better. From now on there will be only 1 player for canon characters that are mane cast. They can still have back up player, but only if the canon character wants backup.
