Discuss Ponies!

In all honesty, this is one of my inspirations for this year's contest. And it fits the "could be demonic!"



Yes, I have it on my desktop. :P

So I guess it's ponies as in horses?

I think someone asked it, but would it be ok to use something else (like a car), as long as you called it "The Pony", and had a really good explanation for it? If so, would a background story do? "I used this car for transporting racing horses back in the days, and it therefore got the name Pony".

Basically, I'm asking if it's the first of the following definitions from wikipedia that is the correct one.

A pony is a small horse.

Oh, just read this from the other thread:

For crying out loud. They give us very tangible elements at our request and you want to be smart? I for one wish they'd insist we stop trying to trick our way around the elements. It's supposed to require inventiveness and creativity to design a game aroudn the elements, not inventiveness and creativity to get away without doing it.

Agreed. We'll definitely have "horse" ponies (as opposed to a club for prostitutes ;) ). But there's still valid questions like - does it have to be a pony, or can it be a "real" horse, a donkey, etc.

I am thinking of having an in-game vehicle called the PONY - primarily used to carry things. It will, of course, have a logo of a pony (small horse) on it. I think given in the right context, it could pass as being the Pony element.

I about died laughing when I read ponies as one of the final choices for an element. Better make sure it's under 58 inches or your disqualified! j/k

I'm thinking of the pony express right now, for both the accountants and the ponies themes.
