Sorry guys, I know some of us could really use the money, but the way I see it, we have no idea how well this will take off, so the payoff could be very minimal. It's very likely that with it being split among the 20 of us, we'd only get enough to buy ourselves lunch at Taco Bell one day.

Now donating the proceeds to charity on the other hand means the charity might at least get a decent amount since the earnings aren't being divided.


I agree with this.

I would also add that I loved the way the brony community would give away their music for free (for the most part) and seeing as this its going to be optional I dont see many people choosing to donate. I know my music isn't on the album so my vote doesnt really matter but since I have given advice to a few of you on your tracks I thought I would share my opinion. I personally wouldn't wan't to make money off my 'pony' music because I see so many people already giving theirs away for free.



I think I said something similar to this in the skype chat, so I agree. If any money comes in from this at all, I'd say it should go to charity.

Okay, hope I'm not too late here. Had two 1,600 word essays to finish off today. It's the 4th here... I think it's the 3rd for you guys in America. Eh, I dunno. Anyway, Legion, expect my WIP/Colors/Images in the next hour 20 minutes.

I'm all for charity as far as something big and sure-to-make a lot of money is concerned. Since we are probably to earn a very little (if any, let's face it :) ), then I say we take those cents and pennies for ourselves to buy software and hardware. I, for example, literally could use some better synths - and I know it is even possible to purchase them directly via paypal without withdrawal to a bank account.

Oh no! I had to write 2x 5000 words minimum and 1x 10k words for this semester. How hard can 1600 words be? :roll:

This semester? Dude, I've done four 8,000 word essays and three 10,000 word research papers THIS TERM. Don't turn this into a competition. ;D

OMG guys I swear unless you're British you shouldn't be using the vernacular slang. I mean, you don't hear people world-wide using "y'all" do you?

I mean, if you do hail from England, then that's fine; it's your vernacular and you can use it.

Well, um, I am not British (*cough* info under the avatar *cough*)

However, you can't forget that Australia was a British colony and their language - apart from accent - is not that much different.

I'll be making a visualizer for each, using everyone's images. It'll either be a gigantic design clusterfuck or something pretty cool, I'll figure out the logistics as I do it.

And no, we don't have a logo. That might not be a half-bad idea.

Guys. We're doing charity, the vote count is almost 3:1 and the arguments for it are reasonable. I'm going to try and finalize the script to send off to NytMayr for recording.

Okay, the few issues I've picked up.

1. Do we want a logo? I could make one, sure, but schools starting to get tough. I may not be able to get it out very quickly. Anyone else who could make one would be welcome to step up.

2. Now that the WiP date has arrived, and most of us have posted in the soundcloud group, what are we going to do for feedback. We've been giving out and recieving feedback in the skype chat and such for a while, but some people have little feedback, so I'd highly reccomend listening and giving feedback.

3. We have the charity issue. I don't know any good charity's for this, but we need to pick one.

4. SOMEONE COUNT UP HOW MANY OF US THERE ARE DAMNIT IS IT REALLY THAT HARD

There are probably more issues to deal with, too. I think we need to get going with the big decisions and stuff pretty soon though...

This is my first album I am participating in (and anything bigger in MLR in general), and please don't feel offended, but I do not like what I'm seeing. To put it rather bluntly: Discord would be proud.

It's the 4th and I have yet to receive any feedback, while I myself have given a few pages of it already. Sure, I understand you guys have school and whatnot, but that's why I started giving mine yesterday, knowing that I would have been unavailable for the US evening times. Please don't forget about the Europeans, thank you.

Another fact is that we still do not know how many of us are left involved in the album. This causes a few issues, namely:

1. Official list of participants for EQD can't be completed.
2. Official promotional video that was supposed to include our WIPs/finished works is MIA because of it.
3. Skype chat list is most definitely not complete with all the participants.

I know that I haven't been helping much with keeping this thread clean of off-topic posts for some part of it, but I am pretty sure the organisers should have kept track of things for the most part.

Another Discord-worthy problem here is LACK OF COMMUNICATION. This has struck me yesterday when suddenly a few people said that they were working on their own promotional videos, logos, mixes and whatnot, while we already had decided upon the choice of those a few weeks ago. Why did nobody tell any of the active people (e.g. Kyoga) that you were doing this things? This mess could have been easily avoided.

Can we please pull ourselves together for this? We don't have much time left, and I don't want to see this delayed.

While there are some things that I don't agree with in this, (Didn't I give you some feedback last week in the WiP thread?) I have to say that I agree with the majority. We need to stop messing around. We have a lot to do, and it probably isn't much to at least ask for you to at least give some other people feedback, not to mention help with promotion and other elements of the album.

I will take it upon myself to do a head count, and sacrifice an hour or two to get that one number. We still have ton of things to discuss, however.

Even so, I plead, beg and pray you guys to stop making unproductive, one line posts. This thread is long enough, and Skype is perfect for that kind of screwballing. This is not a troll post, and I am serious. We need to get ourselves together.

pretty much

I haven't been able to do anything for anyone in terms of feedback, I will probably have a chance tomorrow, but today is the day for housework

What we need to do is actually go through the thread and prune our own posts, delete them if too short/not needed

plus we will need more information from all participants, such as youtube channels and soundcloud accounts. The idea is to become known, so how can you become known if they (the public) don't know where/how to find you?

We really need to organize a sync-listen on our skype group, preferably in voice chat. This'll be the best way to get feedback from those who are lazy, myself included.
