Nah, let him stay there. Burning the heathen does nothing to help our cause. Now, if we burned every heathen we came across... what would people think?
The problem with Equestria is that I am used to the fast life here on our internet-circled sphere called Earth. So, unless they have the ponyweb in Equestria, I'll stay here. Not to mention many people I respect are currently not yet bronies, or bronie enough that the would join me in Equestria.
Furthermore, what would I even do in Equestria? I somehow doubt that Equestria has a shortage of programmers. Or System Builders. IF ended up in Equestria, I'd have to be a pony. What would my special talent be? Wait, I know! Time for an anecdote!
No. Though it might be fun to visit Equestria, I'd want to stay right here on earth where my place is well known and well understood. And, the depth of experiences available in Equestria would be a limiting factor. It's a nice fantasy world, as those things go, but it is very limited in many respects. If I found myself suddenly in any alternate universe, the first thing to cross my mind would be "I'm a stranger here. I have no reason to expect to be treated as anything but a stranger, AT BEST. " I most seriously doubt that I'd be dating Princess Celestia after I'd been there for a week...or a month or a year. Probably not even Derpy. (Well...maybe Derpy.) And then again, would I be human or pony? What GENDER? Do I even get a choice? As a human, I'd forever be a stranger, more likely to be feared and avoided than loved and respected...for quite some time. As a pony, well, that'd take some getting used to! I'd sure miss having hands, that's for sure. I'd better have some mondo magical skills and a horn (at least!) in order to make up for it. I like building musical instruments in my spare time and that's not going to be easy without hands. I'd feel crippled. Equestria for a couple of weeks would make a really fun vacation but there are too many unknowns for me to say that I'd want to LIVE there.
I'll always have things to accomplish here no matter what. I do what I can to make the world better for those around me even if it means I have to sacrifice my own happiness in the process. I do it because this reality has much to offer and we're only just now scratching the surface of some of those aspects. I'm also very cynical. We may have the power to ignore our basic instincts but not all of us do. Selfish desires still fuel some people and let's be honest, some of those people run the world. Exposing a fairly innocent conception to that sort of corruption is just not something I can do.
I have no money, in massive debt, all alone, have health problems, and people make me sick. I choose Equestria, as long as I can hang out with the mane six.
well.. i guess i would go to Equestria, but i would kinda miss everyone back here, so i'm not sure to go either there or stay here
I'd grab my closest friends and my darling Foxy, and then bye bye, off to Equestria. Not like I'd be missed here (as in this world) anyway <.<
In addition to my previous reply, here's what the title of this thread makes me think of each time I read it. "Would you stay, or would you go? Little high, little low. Thunderbolts and Lightining! Very very frightening, ME! Galileo,galileo,Galileo,galileo. Galileo Figaro MAGNIFICOooo Yeah, that's right. Bohemean Rhapsody. Also, lack of computers is a big minus, even disregarding Internet.
Probably not, mainly because I would miss everyone down here immensely. Unless I convert them and they come with me.
I'd rather live in Equestria than our world IRL. Not like I'll be missed much and all that in the real world, anyway. Heck, I'll probably bring my girlfriend with me and we can relax and enjoy ourselves in Equestria. :3 Of course, I'll probably try to find a way to bring some of the technology we have into Equestria. :derpe:
I'd totally go, but I'd try to take some people with me. I guess it depends on how much control I would have over my lot in life in Equestria. I'm doing alright so far on Earth; I wouldn't want to trade a good situation for a bad one.
Guys...If I could be serious for a minute...I thought about it, and honestly, there is a song that fits this situation better than "Should I stay or should I go?" I realize the song is from Sessame street, but please, swallow your Pony-pride and listen to this with an open mind and think with your heart, not your desire... [youtube]kIq8jLj5TzU[/youtube] We have our place...there is beauty in our own world, if people would only stop and look...We can say Equestria is where we'd rather be, but think...would the ponies even WANT us or our technology there? Sure, visiting would be nice...but never, ever, ever take the world for granted...there's a lesson here, somewhere...I wonder if Twilight Sparkle would understand what I'm trying to say?...or maybe Celestia would understand?
I'd go to equestria, it would be so much nicer. ...That is provided however, not everyone goes, if everyone does go to equestria, I would stay behind and tell the rest of the world exactly what we all left for.
Once again, I'd like to go to Equestria/Cloudsdale/Ponyville. I call dibs on Twilight and Rainbow Dash. :derpe:
Oh... you want to see someone read far into this, do ya? Are you ready for this, Frost? Are you?! I hope you are, because it's time for an ePONY tl;dr post! I hope you guys enjoy it! I actually had a dream related to this recently. This is actually quite the conundrum for me. One one hand... I don't think I'd want to leave my family behind. On the other hoof (see what I did there?)... I think being a pony in Equestria would be awesome to try, but I'm not certain about permanence. There are certain things I like and dislike about both choices. The world of Equestria, at least to me, seems like a much happier place, most of the time. It has its share of bad times (Nightmare Moon, Discord, any of the other conflicts encountered), but overall it seems to be a much happier world than ours. At least, that's how I perceive it. For example, when the ponies are working on a task, they break out in song and have, what appears to be, an overall good time. Could you imagine trying that in our world? People would think we're nuts! Plus a lot of tasks can seem rather boring and like a chore. I know this depends on one's outlook on a task. I mean, I've never looked at clearing snow away with as much enthusiasm as the ponies did in Winter Wrap Up. I know that part of this stems from our own outlooks on life, but I can't help but feel that our world is a much more dismal place overall. Not to say there aren't certain things that are better, which I will get to one example that's specific to me in a moment. It's just that Equestria seems more euphoric, but that's to be expected. It's a fantasy world with talking ponies. Just as I visit this forum to escape the stresses, worries and cares of the real-world, I think the same train of thought applies to my motivations for living in Equestria. However, just like visiting a forum isn't like living in it, I don't know how I'd feel about living there forever. I already mentioned that I'd miss my family members, but what if I could convince them to come with me? That would be an interesting task in itself. I suppose then I'd have to reveal my bronydom first, as I'm still in the stable. Then it'd be another interesting task persuading someone that there's the possibility of living in another world as a pony. Yeah, I don't think they'd go for it. Heh. The other thing I'd be concerned about is adapting to being a pony. I'm used to being a human, but not a pony. Then again, the ponies are somehow able to "grab" things with their hooves, plus my OC is a unicorn, so I have magic to do that. I suppose I'd get used to it eventually. I wonder what my occupation would be in Equestria. My OC's cutie mark is a thunderstorm. Being a unicorn, I suppose that means my OC's special talent has something to do with controlling thunderstorms (or weather in general) with magic. I know the pegasi control the weather already, so I don't know if that talent would even be necessary. That'd be horrible; a useless special talent. Unless they'd want some assistance with the weather, then I'd be all up for that. Heh. Speaking of weather, one thing I like about real weather is that it isn't controllable. I think it would lose its appeal in Equestria (except in the Everfree Forest). I'd be more than happy to meet the Mane Six, especially Pinkie Pie. Maybe I would be lucky enough to become good friends with Pinkie Pie. You know, maybe even more than friends, if you get my drift. Hehehe . One stipulation is that my closest friends on Everypony come as well. I'd like to be friends with other OC's like Zephyr Wind, SkyRaze, Saikyo, Sonic Bluefire, Affection, Double Rainbow "Dash", and many others, including those of you that don't have OC's yet. Hehe. I think it'd be great fun, but I suppose I'd have to settle for real-life meet-ups with some of you in our human forms, hehehe. So I guess that's "all" I have to say about this for now. I think trying it out for a while would be nice, then I could make a firm decision. I don't know if I'd really want to leave the real-world forever, but only for the people that live in it and for some of the other aspects of the real-world. I think after being in Equestria for a certain amount of time, I'd think about my family back home. I'd miss them and I'd be sad because I'd know that I abandoned them and we could never see each other again. I also suppose I'd get bored with Equestria after a while... maybe. I'm not sure, obviously. I wonder what the ponies do in their downtime. You know, the time we DON'T see them on the screen. Note: I clearly understand this is just an overanalysis of a fictional situation. It's just all in good fun. Could you imagine it though? In the future a technology that is invented where such a thing is possible? Hmmm. It seems like the stuff of sci-fi for now, but that's just a thought I had.
Is that a Trick Question? I'd be there in 10 seconds flat. The real world sucks, No questions asked. I would love to escape and Equestria is a place i would go and take the Family and Friends ( Even my non-brony friends). I be a Pegasus Pony as i always wanted to fly. I could built a home on the surface and Live out the rest of my life in Ponyville.
