In addition, you can check your progress, and of others in the next link, which will show your progress throughout the competition. 1st and 2nd places are awarded in two categories: Most points, and most 'log points', which is a way to give people with slower computers a better chance of winning as well, if they are consistent enough with their points. 4 prizes for winners + 7 random draws...get crackin'!

You have been recognized by the New York Times.
Goodnight everypony.
ReplyDeleteLUNAR POOOWNCH!
ReplyDeletehappy new years, God/Celestia bless every single one of you ;3
ReplyDeleteBahahaha. Not even ponies, "bronies"! And to top it all off, it is right up there with occupy Wall Street. Not to put ourselves down but either it's been a slow year for news or it just goes to show you how dumb the occupants really are (and then we get lumped in with them!)
ReplyDeleteFirst roundup of the year. And what do you know. We made a segment of the NY Times. Yay! What else? A wallpaper compilation. Perfect opportunity for me to hunt down some wallpaper for my tablet. And lots of other interesting bits of info. With that being said, for the millionth time tonight, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBuck yeah, Bronies.
ReplyDeleteBuck yeah.
I am seriously so proud of all of you. I'm so happy I could be part of such a wonderful community- Both the good and the bad. Its been a great year, and onwards to an exciting 2012!
Get some sleep, Seth. Cereal. Phoe. Everyone at EQD.
You guys deserve it.
OR PARTY LIKE PINKIE IM NOT TRYING TO CONTROLE YOUR LIVES OR ANYTHING
I hate to sound like an elitist tourneyfag, but man. That guy playing Brawl kinda sucked :/
ReplyDeleteCool skin, though.
Is it bad to be awake for one of these, when you live in Sweden? It is 08:53 AM here, and I haven't slept yet. :3
ReplyDeleteSpeaking as a brony and an Occupier... Nice.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the Brony@Home conpetition, anyway? I can't make much sense of it, but I think that I have a good idea
ReplyDeleteSo long, 2011. You were a strange one.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year from Vancouver
ReplyDeleteWow that was a short roundup. Anyway onto the new year, CHARGE!
ReplyDeleteIs that NY Times online or print?
ReplyDeletei just ran down the street blasting pony music.
ReplyDeleteAhhh confetti... Good times.
ReplyDeletewait, that's a rainbow dash skin? Looks a hell of a lot more like a celestia skin to me... Awesome either way! :D

ReplyDeleteMeh.
I betcha that a buncha new people will be interested in this brony fandom with the new year. ^__^
ReplyDeleteLet's see......it's not a question of whether or not we'll increase, but rather of how much we will increase...........
ReplyDeletethats awsome bronies were recognized on new york times!! cant wait to see whatll hapen for us in 2012. happy new year every pony!!

ReplyDeletePretty excited to be part of the New York Times. 2011 I feel was a year of change and breaking down stereotypes. The occupy and brony movement proved that.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to go through the wallpapers in a little bit.
I will have to check out the pony gaming channel.
@naahdude
ReplyDelete...well, it IS technically correct. The best kind of correct.
Wait, how come the plushie there wasn't listed in the plushie roundup? It's kinda lonely sitting there by itself without even a picture :c
ReplyDeleteRead from left to right: Crankshaft Brony Occupy Winning.
ReplyDeletelol, no successful meetups?
ReplyDeleteI saw the word on the other side of "Occupy Wall Street" first, and thought it said "whining". That was almost more awesome.
ReplyDelete...happy new year again.
ReplyDeleteBronies in the New York Times? Awwwwwww Yeaaaahhhhh
ReplyDeleteOCCUPY CANTERLOT
ReplyDelete@Bombedrumbum Brony@Home is part of Folding@Home, which uses distributed computing (ie, crowd-sourced cpus) to fold proteins looking for cures for diseases and such. The competition is just a way to get a bunch of people actively folding.
ReplyDeleteWith all of the other shit on there (Planking, winning, likejacking, twinkling...) I don't know whether or not to be proud to make that list.
ReplyDeleteStill proud to be a (closet) brony.
Nice and short, I like this kind of Round Ups.
ReplyDeleteBesides, that New York Times picture is worth all our praise. Brony is definitely one of the most important words of 2011, for both the best and...the weirdest ^_^;
Wall Street Journal and New York Times in the space of three months, not bad you guys.
ReplyDelete@Xort
ReplyDeleteWhen you play with half second of delay in your laptop for recording everybody suck.
I had good results in tourneys playing Falcon some years ago, right now i only do hacks.
And i dont suck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84NJCADZ778
This is an amazing fandom. Here's to an even better New Year!
ReplyDeletewait
ReplyDeleteglasgow...meetup? I've been to glasgow. I LIVE in SCOTLAND.
I need to figure out some way to get in on this.
Glasgow meet up!
ReplyDeleteFinally, a way to get involved.
I even made an account just for this special occasion.
(ooh, it's Glasgow, not Glasglow. But that sounds so much better)
Am I the only one who noticed there isn't a Nightly Roundup tag on this post?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteAnd Happy New year from me!
