"Lesser Knowns" (Official Event Thread)

[Glitchhog]

So I've just been speaking with Replacer, and he kind of calmed me down a bit. He suggested that I need a good, proper break from everything and that the stress of music, blogs and Oatstralia is just getting me down. I'm still a bit on edge, but I'm thinking a little more rationally now. Today has been a real bitch, and I guess a long line of unfortunate events just pushed things into overdrive and I totally and completely burned myself out. I'm still taking a good break, probably a few months or so. But I can safely say that I'll be back.

See you soon, everyone. (:

[Belgerum]

I as well share my sentiments. I can understand that kind of emotional decision, and won't force you into anything. I'm sorry if someone did anything really bad, and wish our fandom
Could be presented better, but as thing are, I understand your decision and wish you a good life.

I just came into this thread at the top of this page only to see you recant a bit now and I'm glad to see you've rethought about this. Ultimately a break may be needed or spending your time in certain brony activities and away from other groups that aren't as nice. Ultimately you are right that this community has changed and not necessarily in the best ways (seems a lot more split into groups and cliques now and a popularity contest a lot of the time). You aren't the first to question whether its worth it in the end or if you have the same love and closeness to the community. A lot of people, including sometimes myself, go through thoughts like this on a pretty regular basis. Ultimately (to me) there's still enough of a draw and enough fun within making the music and being active to warrant the time even if people really quite as nice or thankful as they should be. We need to be aware when great people like yourself step away from the table that we really need to be considerate of each other first and foremost and we all play a role in that. Whether that's a few months or a few weeks I certainly hope that break from the community compells you to return. You will be missed.

Just to make sure we stay focused on what we have to do, I'll repost some stuff here.

We've still got 3 musicians who don't have their WiP uploaded. Get those in you guys!

==WALL OF TEMPORARY SHAME==

Anorax - You have a mix of other people's stuff up, but nothing of your own.
Mixolydian Pony - Not posting until later as stated earlier.
Trixie - supposably working on it.



Once again, here is the current to-do list for everyone. If any of you have not done one of the following, please do so ASAP. Legion, if you have everyone's, or if any of these is finished and i don't know about it, please say so.

1. Send a high-quality download of your WiP to Legion2190 (memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=840), for the promotional vid.

2. PLEASE spend some time reviewing the work of others on soundcloud. Especially those with no comments yet. We want to make sure everyone feels included! And if you haven't posted your WiP to the group yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR. http://soundcloud.com/groups/mlr-lesser-knowns/

5. Work on improving your WiP, of course!

6. We need to decide on a charity. If anyone wants to set up a vote, or present options, please do so. I suggest Playing for Change, but you are all free to voice your opinions.

EDIT: By the way, Matt. I just noticed that you don't have Bronytuber on your list of people you have contact info for. At least the one you have posted on this thread. I don't know if that means you don't have his stuff yet, but I thought I'd just make sure.

I think I PM'ed him my info a while ago, I can send it again if need be though

[Belgerum]

Okay then. I was just making sure.

[the4thImpulse]

I have created the bandcamp page for The Lesser Knowns.

We should get a banner for it as well so if anyone wants to put one together send it my way.

pssssst* Or we could do "Noteworthy" *psssssst

[Anorax]

what's the planned color scheme for the bandcamp page? I can't make a png with transparency, it won't work

[meletric]

Oh man, I'm good either way, because the CMC fit the "Lesser Known" idea pretty well, but Noteworthy is also awesome

[the4thImpulse]

I put Noteworthy in the banner and may use the CMCs for the Album Art (at least my version).

[Belgerum]

Okay, so I'm also making a version of the album art. I'm trying to get everyone's pony oc's in. I'm still missing plenty, and need a better background, but here's my WiP: http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/9607/tlkcoverwip.png

In other news, due to a vote over Skype, We have decided to give our donations to "Your Siblings", as proposed by 4thImpulse. http://yoursiblings.org/projects/green-life/details. Whomever has the script, write that in, and let's get working on the music and cover art stuff.

oh, this looks pretty interesting... um, would there be any more room on the roster or is it too late?

[Matthew N.]

If you have a song that is nearing completion then I myself don't see why not. ETA on release is still 18th, but due to the workload put on us lately we might be a little bit late (hopefully week tops, just to be able to build some attention with our advert video.)

[3M0 DJ]

Hey ViRiDiA. Do you have a Skype? Cause we can probably add you to our conversation.

oh of course, im viridiagreen on Skype

[Belgerum]

ViRiDiA has now joined Lesser Knowns, people, so a few things.

1. He's gonna have less time than the rest of us with our WiP's, so make sure he gets feedback when he asks for it! We don't want him lagging behind if it can be prevented.
2. If anyone's been using a list of the ponies in TLK, it's now missing him. The most recent one is still in my sig.
3.
==WALL OF TEMPORARY SHAME==
THIS HAS STILL NOT BEEN EMPTIED. GET ON IT, PEOPLE! THE WiP DATE WAS A WEEK AGO!

Mixolydian Pony - Not posting until later as stated earlier.
Trixie - supposably working on it.

4. https://www.dropbox.com/s/dmuy7jk4ca0o2 ... %20WIP.png
I'm still working on this. Me and 4th are gonna vote on which album art we like better, or whether we want to combine certain elements after We're done. I'd like that to be ASAP once again!
I still need OC's from:

-Expy
-K3WRO
-Maelstrom

[the4thImpulse]

This is my current copy/version of the cover art

[colortwelve]

This is my current copy/version of the cover art

It's...

Beautiful...

[Conduit]

Hey, are you guys still accepting members?

I'm still learning and this group seems amazingly helpful.


EDIT: I realize that this is already really far along, so no hard feeling if thats a no. Honestly I feel bad asking now that I've seen the cover art and stuff that already completed.

Hopefully something like this happens again, so I can be a part of it from the beginning.
