The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

"Maybe there isn't much we can do since Night time is coming... but I am still up to some little fun you may want to do." - Rhamphy said to Chomper.

Trod nodded with his head, unable to reply since he was still eating some Sweetbubbles.

Ducky thought while she was eating.  She paused in her eating since she got an idea, "Maybe we can tell stories.  Or just sit around and talk." Ducky said.

Littlefoot paused in his eating, "Maybe do shadow play also." He said.

(ooc: I don't remember if they gave the doing shadows a name.  I'll try to find the episode and edit this once I find it.)

"Shadow play sounds fun," Chomper said.

"I agree. Are there any special rules?" - Trod said as he finished eating the Sweetbubbles  he got from Rhamphy.

"Oh yeah, the shadow game's lots of fun" Cory said with a smile. Kit and Petrie nodded.

((the game sounds familiar, but I can't recall the shadow game episode))

(ooc: I found it but they don't really call it a name, the closest could be making shadows)

"Usually there we try to guess the shadow you are making.  You can use your hands or body or body part.  Though some some do try to tell a story using the shadows they or a friend make." Littlefoot said.

"It sounds like something I would try." - Trod said happily as he stood up and went nearer the group.

Rhamphy was a bit more silent now... thinking and moving his hands, trying to see what kind of shapes he can make for shadows.

"Littlefoot, you can go first," Chomper smiled.

"Ok." Littlefoot said, not sure what he would do.  He thought about it then started to bend low to the ground and start to snap his mouth open and closed as if he were snapping at something.

(ooc: didnt have any ideas so just copied something from the tv episode.)

"That's ok Littlefoot, sometimes the easily guessed one's are the funnest" Kit shrugged with a smile.

"Ok, so I guess it's Spike's turn now?" Cory guessed.

Spike nodded, and began the necessary movements.

He lowered his stomach closer to the ground and began walking around, making snapping motions with his mouth.

Dein looked down at shadow Spike was making and said:

<Good guess.> Ducky said, not knowing if was a good guess or not, but thinking it was a good one regardless.

Petrie frowned, trying to think up what to do, "Um...ok".

"You can do it Petie" Kit smiled encouragingly. Petrie thought then crouched down with his wings up above him visible as two triangles next to eachother and his beak added well to what he was going for he thought.

He glanced over to see if the others could guess. Kit tilted her head, "Hmm...um" she tried to think up what it could be.

"Ehh. hmm... <a falling treestar?>" - Rhamphy said, having just a wild guess as he used the very few he knows about the Sharptooth language.

"<Hmm, this is a hard one.>" - Trod said as he was trying to take a closer look.

"Hmm." Ducky says, her face screwed up in concentration..

"This is a tough one." Littlefoot said, looking at the shadow and trying to guess what it could be.

Petrie frowned a bit, since his shadow was so hard. "Here" Kit struggled to help him out, "would a stick help?" she held one out. "Hey, yeah!" Petrie took it and broke off all but three branches then held it in his beak so that the three pointy ends were at the end and then the bulk of him still had the frills and he next stuck out one foot for the other end.

He wobbled a bit, "Ooh, this hard" he said, standing on one foot. Kit giggled, "it looks better now though...um...it's a..." she tilted her head and looked.

Cory squinted and thought...thinking he almost had a guess
