Alucard?
If you've read the past few pages, you would know that David was in a hologram.

This statement is true.

Also, I'd like to be allowed to speak of God in the roleplay.

Talk about him if you want. I never said you couldn't, but some characters will deny that he exists. Evil David will laugh at you for believing in God.

Okay then.

I fixed the logging in and out problem.

Hoora!

Off Topic (but this is OOC anyway): I started vectoring ponies about 3 weeks ago! :3 I've made quite a few by now and am contemplating vectoring my ponies on this roleplay.

What do you mean?

Vectoring: "Vector graphics is the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and shapes or polygon(s), which are all based on mathematical expressions, to represent images in computer graphics."
Here's my DeviantArt page so you can see what I mean.

Those are all ponies that I've vectored. I took a pony base, and Inkscape, and traced that base, adding more things onto it like the tail, mane, different eyes, expressions, etc. etc..

You know you could always just use an OC generator, right?

Those are cheap and not as good as vectoring. With vectoring, you can do so much more. Those are ponies that I've made for other people that have requested them, because vectoring is far better than pony generators, which don't have many options. Vectoring is infinite.

[whizzball1]

As an extension to that, let's see:
None of the 11 ponies that I've created can be created in a typical pony generator. Birdie McFly's mane and position cannot, Diamond Song's scrunch face position cannot, Eliza's position and expression cannot, Beauty Brush's pose, expression, mane, and tail cannot, Amarillo's tail and glasses cannot, Stormsword's position, expression, mane, and hat cannot, Neither Pattycake nor Comet Tag can, String Plucker's build and pose cannot, Airstride's mane and pose cannot, Thorn's mane, pose, and ear piercings cannot.

You can always photoshop.

Photoshop also isn't as good. There's a limit to what you can create. And in vectoring, you can zoom in infinitely and it'll still be clear. That way you can make minuscule changes that make it look perfect.

Well, you'll eventually hit the pixel limit.

How vectoring works is that on each zoom level, it regenerates based on the code. Therefore, as you keep going in, you will never hit any pixel limit. It's not a bitmap. Not in the slightest.

That sounds utterly horrid. I couldn't stand to work with that.

It's quite easy. And a lot of ponies either don't want to learn or don't have time, so they ask other people to do it for them. I learned vectoring quite easily, tutorials are great. In order to trace, you simply take out the pen tool and start creating a jagged version of the curve in the picture. When you finish it, you fix the curves with the curve tool. It's incredibly easy to manipulate them and create other nodes to make it even easier, and eventually you have ponies as perfect as the ones in the animation.

It's just.... ewwwww, curves. I work with pixels. I need a grid to perfect it. Without pixels, I would never have had Surprise's profile pics. I need to be able to zoom in to those fundamental building blocks of images.
