Plones are a very niche part of the community, but Ive always hoped to find some place to engage in roleplay with others that have such a rare mutual interest.
If anyone knows of a discord server or something of the sort based around plones, please let me know

Now I can finally comment on this. We got 22 days before someone found it
I think the time it took is a bit longer than we all expected. While surfing on http://www.oneworld365.org/blog/should-you-trust-essay-writing-websites, I was redirected here. I made my own time estimation as a result.

Talent: Singing
Backstory/Origin: Her talent came off almost like tradition. Her mother sang, her grandmother, and maybe even more farther down the line. Growing up she was surrounded by said music as well as had her strengths tested in nearly every musical class available in her schools. Life with music is always more pleasant than without. It was a talent and a passion, but when her cutiemark revealed it to be her destiny she just couldn't go on. What was something more personal to her she wished not to pursue further for instead the enjoyment of everyone. Not that she feared the spotlight, but she didn't seem fond of it either. She denied what fate laid out for her, and instead fled the scene with all else she had worked towards. Including abandoning her parents who pushed her so hard into passing down their traditional talents.
Why this cutiemark?: Scarlet is simply the only OC I have cared to make. I like to expand on one and progress than try to manage many.
thank you for the chance.

Talent: racing
Backstory/ Origin: His father was a racer, and he really pressured Arthur (Double's real name) to go towards the racing route. It was really all he knew, being groomed and coddled to be the perfect racers son. He earned his cutie mark on his first win on a junior race. He hasn't come in first since...
Why this cutie mark: I honestly don't have many pony characters that have cutie marks.
Thanks Kay!
Ever wish you hadn't lived? Not in the sense that you've never been born but in the sense of not experiencing something that may have been amazing to you. Sometimes our experiences define who we are however there are some things that are negative and change people's perspective of us. If you lived your life and had fun and something comes back to bite you in the butt what do you think should be done about that?
holy crap this is deep. i regret some things but not others, i do wish id lived a bit more, then maybe id be better, and things wouldn't be so hard.
As amazing as it is when I posted this I had no knowledge of what I was going to learn soon there after. Since this post I have done more living without regrets, as in I have done more living & I refuse to regret how I have had interactions with the environment. I must say that if you have moments where you question rather you should do some "living" or the mundane existence thing. Choose to live.
Don't give up living. Try to find even the smallest positive aspects of life. Check my blog https://canadadiary.ca/2022/a-guide-to-survive-assignment-writing-in-2022/ for further details.
I lived a happy life; therefore, I have no regret regarding anything in my life. In the end, I choose to agree with it all. I am currently a resume writer at https://www.cvdubai.ae/. It is where I like to help students in their careers, so they can get better lives.
I've sat by and observed and participated in discussions that have come to fruition over the past week or so. I've watched drama unfold, and irresponsible/non-professional behavior erupt from both members and staff. And I feel that in order to begin correcting these issues, the staff and members alike could use a brief learning experience on leadership principles and ideologies. But for now, I would like to use these tools to help the staff better handle future issues. Now before you roll your eyes and return to your prior activities. Stop and think about how stronger leadership could improve the quality of life for all users here on the site. Examples including better awareness, more integrity. These are a few traits that a leader can teach themselves over time. There is an age old argument that a leader cannot be taught, or learn how to become a leader, or a better leader at that. I dis-agree. Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi, General Patton, and many others weren't just born leaders. They stood for something, they had vision and action for a better world or over coming a great odd. But, I can say that while leadership can be learned, I can't make you learn it. Leadership is something that you must develop on your own and of your own willpower. I will not promise you will become a great leader after this, but what I can give you is the foundation of leadership that I have been taught through almost six years of dedicated service to a Law Enforcement Explorers Post, and my community. I spent many years grooming myself to be a better leader. I had many teachers that instilled the lessons and tools of leadership within me. My teachers all being the best leaders I could ask for. Such as a former US Army Ranger, A former Marine Corps Master Gunnery Sergeant, and A former US Marines MARSOC operator. And without further adieu. The core values and tools of a leader.
Starting off this lesson with some of the strongest and most meaningful core values of leadership, are those that are taught to NCOs and Commissioned Officers in the armed services. The military has developed many core principles and traits that they instill in their leaders. These traits help break down the question: "What makes a good leader?" and "How do I become a better leader?" And although some principles and traits are more tailored to a military environment. All core values of a leader can be molded and applied to one's self, or one's actions.
-Know yourself and seek self-improvement
-Be technically and tactically proficient
-Develop a sense of responsibility among your subordinates
-Make sound and timely decisions
-Set the example
-Know your subordinates and look out for their welfare
-Keep your subordinates informed
-Seek responsibility and take responsibility for your actions
-Ensure assigned tasks are understood, supervised, and accomplished
-Train your unit as a team
-Employ your command in accordance with its capabilities.

Naturally not everyone of these categories are maintained in this sector, because the staff of Canterlot Avenue is not a war fighting force. But do consider your job a battle. After all, in a sense you are trying to fight uphold the rules and articles governing the site. Now I would like to hit on certain points of these traits and do my best to polish them off in my own words. So lets start with "Make sound and timely decisions." Here on the site, time isn't of the essence normally. But the ability to make a sound choice that is appropriate to the situation is critical to maintaining the order of the site. "Employ your command in accordance with its capabilities." Remember, the staff is a team! You must work together, train together, study together. Know your team! If you understand that a member of your team may not make an appropriate judgement call within the bounds of a situation, don't make them do it alone! If a staff member is unsure of themselves, or biased while dealing with a situation. Get help from more people. Using unfair judgement is the fastest way to lose your followers and subordinates. "Develop a sense of responsibility among your subordinates." and "Seek responsibility and take responsibility for your actions." Its as simple as possible to understand this. If you seek responsibility, you must be responsible. Not just for yourself and your actions. But the actions of your subordinates. You're a team and a family. One person's lack of responsibility harms the image of everyone. Also, develop a responsibility for your team, because the choices of one can impact everyone else. Be responsible and be accountable.
Now taking a turn from Naval Principles. The United States Marine Corps has excellently described the traits that a good leader must instill within themselves to be effective, fair, and just in their actions.
The certainty of proper duty performance.
Creating a favorable impression in carriage, appearance, and personal conduct at all times.
The mental quality that recognizes fear of danger and criticism, but enables a man to proceed in the face of it with calmness
Ability to make decisions promptly and to announce them in clear, forceful manner
The mental and physical stamina measured by the ability to withstand pain, fatigue, stress and hardship
The display of sincere interest and exuberance in the performance of duty
Taking action the the absence of others
Uprightness of character and soundness of moral principles; including the qualities of truthfulness and honesty
The ability to weigh facts and possible solutions on which to base decisions
Giving reward and punishment according to merits of the case in question. The ability to administer a system of rewards and punishments impartially and consistently
Understanding of a science or an art. The range of one's information, including professional knowledge and understanding of your subordinates
The ability to deal with others without creating offense
Avoidance of providing for one's own comfort and personal advancement at the expense of others
The quality of faithfulness to country, the Corps, the unit, to one's seniors, subordinates and peers

While some of these traits are not ideal to day to day operation of the site, the rest of the traits listed and defined can easily assist in developing stronger, fairer, and more impartial judgement. With traits like Bearing, Courage, and Decisiveness. And continuing with traits like Integrity, Judgement, Justice, and Tact. But just because other traits don't fit your situation perfectly. Does not mean that they are not critical to becoming a better leader. They are all tools that you use and acquire to better yourself and the lives of those around you.
The common misconception among people that are granted positions of power, is differentiating title from being. If you believe that you are a leader because of the power a title gives you. Then you are not ready. Simply pushing people with a title is kind of like pushing on a chain that has been balled up or stacked and placed on a table. Begin pushing on the ball of chain at a single point with your finger, this pushing motion is representative of demands and presence. The harder you push to move that ball of chain. The more it will deform and spread out. You never truly know or understand where all the links will go. The same can be said for people. If you push unjustly, or unfairly. You will lose your followers and your team. And they will at some point be forced to find a new path. But if you take this chain by it's end and pull it. All the links follow behind you. This is true leadership. Your title may give you authority. But it is just that, a tile. True leadership is from within one's self. Not by the weight of their title.
While some of history's greatest leaders did not fit the ideology of leadership without ego. An example being General Patton. It is typically regarded that one's personal ego and self absorption can pose ethical problems within a leader's organisation. Remember, your perception of yourself must be as close as possible to the reality of your subordinates. If you believe yourself to be an almighty and all powerful person. But you subordinates don't agree. You will lose their faith and respect by trying to play this role you have imagined for yourself. The best way to keep in touch with the reality of your subordinates is to reflect. Everyday, stop for a few moments. Or maybe even stop before handling a situation, and reflect. Start by self reflecting. Understand who you are. The challenges you have already overcome. An the challenges that you may face ahead. Self regulate. As you reflect on yourself. Understand your flaws, your opinions, and your views. Now regulate them. Be fair and impartial. And next, self perception. Continue to view yourself. Enact you successes and failures in your head. Hypothesize what will happen as you tackle your next objective. Try to perceive how your subordinates and follower will react and how you will handle it at its worst. These skills of Self Reflection, Regulation, and Perception. Can help you lead more impartially, fairly, and justly. Prevent your ego and personal feelings from taking control of a situation. In the end you will have established a firm yet fair resolution, pertaining to the rules and articles you govern.
Thank you for taking the time to review and learn from these values. I don't expect poll responses. I don't expect conversation or comment. All I care to know, is if someone is listening. If someone can better themselves, and become a better person by the teachings of another. But this, is my gift to the staff.
Respectfully,
FA Dash
