>mfw Seth poked his head into my office last night and told me to do an event. So, here, have an event!
This event will last for ONE HOUR ONLY. Hence, a 'flash event'. That means if you see a post above this, time's up.
Here are your instructions:
- Go here, to General Zoi's pony generator.
- Hit 'Random' only once.
- Write a short bio for your generated pony. By short, I mean under 200 words.
- Send both things to CerealVelocity@equestriadaily.com with your name and the header 'OC PONY'! I don't need a Google Doc with your bio- just a paste into the email is fine.
I'll compile the results sometime tonight if I'm not too busy playing Human Revolution.
Go.

Well this is interesting..
wait wut
You can still play Human Revolution today, Cereal. I've seen cases where Steam games become available to play a couple hours early.
I'm personally not into OCs, but good luck to everypony else!
An event that I actually caught early enough to be a part of? Yay~
Interesting. I'd do it,but I suck at writing of any kind.
lol mine looks like he has skin disease
Im not one for actually writing Bio's or anything like that, but will be interesting to see what the results of this are.
Well, this is certainly an interesting little event. Kinda cool though.
A flash event that requires flash which doesn't work on my phone.
This is going to be glorious. I can't wait to hear folks' explanations for broken horns and fillies with goatees.
Equestria Daily has an office
wtf
My pony looked like an abomination
so I named it Abomination :D
its so...cute....looking
MINE LOOKS LIKE A SWAMP MONSTER! OH GOD
I hit the 'random' button, got a tie-dyed filly alicorn, and decided to up stumps and retire to the pavilion. Good luck to the rest of you, though!
Done and sent, that was kinda cool actually!
I expect vast amounts of giggles when this is over.
Mine is an alien pony, it looks kinda scary.
Name as in MuffinShy(here and DA), right? :o
Of course this happens as my flight is boarding. I definately woulda participated too.
@Ragona
Printscreen it, crop it in paint of something.. and save it from there.
I got a monster too, but I MADE IT HAPPEN!
Gametrailers throw you off too?
OCs everywhere!!!
Going to love to see how creative some people get with their random ponies.
Entered! This is actually a really cool idea.
@Michelle
You can actually just go to Pose and select Export Pony Image; no need for print-screening anymore.
Sent mine in! :D Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with.
Cool, very interesting.
Mine's is some tall, lime-green pony with a swept-back light blue mane that looks kinda like a hang glider. I think she (I think it's a she) kinda looks like a rock star, but I can't get anymore creative than that at the moment. So I'll sit this one out.
What will you do with these monsters and gibberish? 6_9
I clicked random.
I have a pink unicorn with green cloven hooves and a green sorta-beak muzzle, purple mane and tail, glitter-wings, and a purple mustache like the sports pony from Stalliongrad.
Trying to work up a post for this made my brain hurt.
Was thinking about it, was like hmmm, if i get a good one ill try, hit random, got the most ugly looking pony all that came to mind was kill it with rainbows.
Damn, I am actually here for an event, and I've got to go to class soon. Well, at least I can see what my pony would be.
...Okay, screw class, my pony looks badass.
I've entered! By the sounds of things, I think my pony was relatively straightforward, if rather psychadelic.
I know what you mean, those bastards lied to me too. I have to wait till TOMORROW to play Deus Ex.

...I think I broke it.
Damn this is pretty darn hard, i just want to ditch mine to the nearest waste disposal
I'm liking this idea.
hmm, Sure. OK. I always liked that pony-creator. well, A while back, it's been a while-
*randomizes*
ZOMG
*randomizes again*
...Why'd they update it?! Every pony I generate looks HORRIBLE! D:
My OC was actually really tame in comparison to what I was expecting. :P Hopefully it's alright for what I gave it though.
This is my first time entering an event here and my first time doing an OC. My pony looked like The Creature From the Black Lagoon, so I tried to do something with that. I think I did well for a first go.
I'm...not sure what gender my pony is. o.O
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED
Mine looked like a fairy! XD That was fun!
I was all for this...until I saw the monstrosity that was created when I hit the random button. It was as if Celestia herself coughed up a moldy hairball and then shaped it into a Pony. Who was Subsequently HORRIBLY burned and disfigured in a chemical fire then run over by a passing milk truck (Why milk? Cause I like cheese....)
So to avoid being struck down by the deity herself, I choose not to post that horror story. It's better for everyone...
I just sent mine in.

...what have I done?
Posted mine, then realized that I went slightly over the word limit.
FAIL
Wow mine is weird XD
I am willing to bet that we are going to get an extremely large number of alicorns (as in about four times as many as all other kinds combined) due to the way the randomization works.
The rules said "only once", but even after a hundred tries it didn't come up with anything that could possibly be called a pony.
Mine wound up being the worst sort of Mary Sue. Oh well, sent her in anyway. Don't blame me, the random number generator made me do it! :)
Sent mine in, don't know if I did it right though.
But if it appears later you can bet the bio is interesting.
What would you get if you cross Rainbow Dash with Zecora?

I don't even know.
Sent mine in!
... and there is now another post above this one, even though the hour isn't up! Please say that it's the hour that is important, not the lack of post above this one!
Ha ha! I am done! My purlish-green pegasus will rule over the OCs! Eh...it was a lot of fun though! Had to go through the process of exporting and cropping though.
Gah! Missed it. :P
@Laurence Brown
Yeah I was about to comment on the same thing. I think I got mine in a minute before that went up but lets hope its the hour.
When I hit random, I got Nyx from Past Sins, minus the wings and her hair and eyes like when she was in her disguise. True story. Here's the code for the pony: 13230011001A1A1AFFC49D0000100BB96UN1837000000000W157008900E4FF1X01573F8A004CB2
And the accessories I used to put her in her disguise: 066CC66152004B066CC66152004B066CC6604E8FBAFFFF8C752004B055004B655004B066CC6
@Eddmario
... My god.
Whooooo! Sounds fun!
I've just sent mine. He's a rather dashing stallion for a random agglutination of random pony parts.
And he's a Pegasus! It's as if the fates have all agreed to make my random pony my favorite race of Equine!
And... EqD has an office? You guys must be more legit than I thought in the first place.
lol
Just sent.
I hope your body is ready.
I received a frog turned into a pony...and made up a lovely little story for the creature.
Ah ummm, I accidently posted mine as 'WTF IS THAT?' Instead of OC pony, If you find it that ones mine and looks very odd.
@Stephen Cawking i know rite, we have an office in Fillydephia and cloudsdale
@Vegetalss4
What happens is there's a 50% chance of getting a unicorn horn, and a 50% chance of getting wings, or a 25% of getting both at once.
THE HORROR! THE HORROR!!!
@Eddmario
THE FATES HAVE GIVEN YOU NYX?!?
That was... a little unexpected.
Dammit
Ill give it a shot.
Sent :P
I sent a really weird guy that just screamed 'Flamboyant, insane, constantly-failing villain of a children's show' to me.
Well, I sent it, and now I instantly regret it. Curse my hubris!
Also, did anypony else find it humorous that this was a flash event based on a flash based animation, with ponies created in a flash?
(Better that than us flashing other people, anyway! Nopony deserves to be subjected to that kind of horror from me!)
I was going to enter, but I couldn't figure out how to send the picture from the game, and Photobucket didn't want to upload the screenshot.
Ah, well. Now I have a grey alicorn with metal things on its wings with yellow hair and Rainbow Dash's tail to use for a story or something.
Welp, I sent mine. Hope I wasn't too late.
DONE! Complete with panicked edits and rampant misspellings!
An alicorn. Dammit.
Celestia really gets around!
Darn I never bothered to make my own..
...
You're all insane.
I'm picking ten good ones. Is that okay?
@Cereal Velocity
I'll take that as a compliment and yes.
Silly Cereal. Games don't come out on mondays. lol
and looks like it's too late to start... damn you International time zones
Mine almost looks normal....almost not sending it as it's well past the deadline at this point.

@Cereal Velocity
Haha, how many did you get?
@Cereal Velocity
1) What, you didn't learn anything from the speedfic challenge?!
2) Of course it is! As long as you don't mind us unlucky ones posting our pony codes in the comment section with our brief bios so that those who want to see them still can?
@Laurence Brown
Apparently I learned nothing, no. I swear, I'm going to hunt down Calamari and get his code from the Training Grounds so I can do these properly.
Oh, and 150+ entries.
@Cereal Velocity
Epic :D
@Cereal Velocity
Awesome. XDD
^What the heck happened to my name? See, this is what happens when you don't let me be anonymous! :P
Pony I wanted to be my random: 2Z1S0P41207CABDDFEC89E0000100FE08UN1837200000000O0A30000FF7FFF0M107F3FCC004CB2
@Cereal Velocity
Sweet Celestia, that's amazing..! And rather terrifying, actually.
@Cereal Velocity
so on average more than one every 24 seconds.
wow, that's a lot of random ponies.
Hope my email went through. It would be a shame for me. I hope using my Deviant Art account as my name is alright. Better than saying anomynous!
This would have been a really Cool McAwesome event to participate in, had I not missed it :P
I just read through the comments, and realized that I wasn't able to grab my pony's pose code before I close the tab. T_T Ah, well, I still have the picture, I'll hopefully be able to recreate it later.
I also just realized that I forgot to include my name in the e-mail. I sent in the samurai pony.
You should post ten normal ones, but then a gallery of all the horrible, disfigured ones (after getting a good one, I enjoyed green-nosed, bat-winged, unshorn-hooved, purple monstrosities.
Ironically I missed this by playing at making my pony with said creator!
No lie.
Why would you do that? Only 20 days left till ponies, you could have survive without this cancer...
Mine actually turned out pretty much normal looking. I didn't accessorise him or pose him, and I did not know about the code feature until it was too late, so I had to cap it, crop it, and put it on my photobucket to send him in, which took me past the deadline. (I did send in the first email before then though.) So I suppose it's okay if I'm already disqualified. The bio was pretty silly. I had fun with that one.

@Alisa180
CRAP! I knew I forgot something!!
That's interesting... there's a virus on the Pony Creator page.
It's called Win32/Pdfjsc.RF by the way.
@Velvet
Might be coming from one of the advertisements. On the page I didn't get any warnings from the page but I have an ad blocker.
@Cereal Velocity
So I think you should do this a few more times, for those of us who didn't get a chance. Yknow, busy, or was sleeping. For me, I had to do some college stuff. Application and shit yknow.
It'll be heck a lot more Ponies submitted then.. too much to handle on your own
Aw, missed this one. Sounded fun, too.
Yay, I can't believe a picture from my blog was used in here! I feel so honored :).
Why does it have to be random?
Where will the results be? :P
Aw man. *kicks a dirt clod* I just had a chance to check my backlogged rss and see this and I missed it.
I got an Alicorn too.
