It really is the best option that won't have a bias towards the default list.

>>29783391
>best option
>that won't have a bias
Then explain this bullshit and the fact Return of Harmony has been dominating the list for 6 years now. All because there were the same 100 anons who couldn't change their opinions over the years. It looks like your system didn't manage to sway them to change their onions worth a damn.

And honestly 100 anons really doesn't come close to this board's overall opinion on the episode ranks.

Finally finished this one. It show the episodes by their average proximity to the maximum points in a survey. So if RoH is up top with 1000 points then it would be 100.00 while something with 800 would be 80.00.
I feel like this one may be a bit closer to an actual average because it gives fairer representation to larger and smaller gaps in points between ranks as opposed to it just being the same gap for every episode.

>>29783423
>And honestly 100 anons really doesn't come close to this board's overall opinion on the episode ranks.
Not that Anon, but what makes you think that? How many Anons who make posts do you think are actually in this board?
Also, what do you think the list should look like then?

>Then explain this bullshit and the fact Return of Harmony has been dominating the list for 6 years now.
RoH is up top because it's the one that end up the highest on average in Anons lists, but it's not first on many of them individually. It's the one the board on average likes the most.

>>29783463
To add to that last point, only 7 of the 76 lists I received on the last normal survey I did had RoH as first.

Now with this next reply I don't mean to be a complete savage that exposes this fandom's flaws, but try to improve yourself over the years. You can improve yourself in 10 minutes simply by changing your mentality right now.

I don't mean to be an asshole, but bronies just lack the common sense to design quality content. All because they refuse to adhere to common sense. They have terrible taste for designing things.
Their musical tastes, their programming, their game design, their logic is so narrow and ass-backwards because they're being inefficient on purpose.

Just like Hasbro infinitely pissed off everyone watching G1 by making the voices as annoying and cringeworthy as possible. Or the fact those ponies looked more like donkeys, hippos, mules than thin slim muscular unicorns and horses.
And they continued this retarded logic through generation 3 Littlest Pet Shop by making the heads too big and giving everyone retard-sounding voices "because" it sounded more cartoony by their logic. Cartoon characters have to sound dumb and annoying by Hasbro's standards.

Designing an easy to use poll isn't any deep philosophy, you just have to want it.

Too bad that literally the only person with great musical, programming, and game design tastes is wasting his time writing pointless rants trying to enlighten us, poor idiots who will never learn, instead of doing something useful.

You have a thread on page 10, btw.

>>29783480
Again, not that Anon, but what would you suggest?
I'm always looking to make this better and would appreciate any ideas you think would help.

>>29783423
>the same 100 anons who couldn't change their opinions over the years
This is factually not true. Sure you may love some episodes but newer ones give perspective on how you actually compare them. And with time opinions do change. Nostalgia starts to factor in as well, we've been going for quite some time now.

>>29783423
>And honestly 100 anons really doesn't come close to this board's overall opinion on the episode ranks.
>what are statistical samples
Maybe if more people bothered to make the lists we'd have a better statistical confidence from the data.

>>29783423
The sorter has no bias. People have bias. That's what an opinion IS, pal.

>>29783533
I think the method is the barrier to entry, but there's no more efficient and fair way to get the required amount of data from each Anon.
I tried the All Our Ideas method once to try and get some kind of boost, but that just ended up giving me a lot of Anons voting a low to medium amount with a few making up 25% of those votes. I'm stuck between a rock of what kind of data is needed and a hard place of the best method being something a lot of Anons wouldn't want to take the time to do.

How long would you guys say it took to make your list this time around?
I think mine was a little over an hour.

>>29783480
And this is actually unrelated nonsense.

>>29783571
>I think mine was a little over an hour.

>>29783391
Especially when 90% of people ignore it. It never even gives you a result you agree with.

Here's another pic that has a few charts in it with the data from the 7 surveys so far.
First one is the difference in overall ranking by proximity to 1st rank as opposed to overall ranking by proximity to maximum points. Next is the expanded stats using proximity to 1st rank. Last is the expanded stats using proximity to max points.

>>29783571
For me it took ~40 min, but I didn't really sat and think about the episodes for any battle.

One thing I suggested in the last thread that could save some minutes is adding some keyboard shortcuts (the arrow keys for example), because if you are doing almost 1000 battles, the time you take to aim your cursor and click starts to add up pretty nastily.

Simply make a quick interactive list.
1) blank or episode 1
2) episode 2
3) episode 3
...
143) last episode
144-147) equestria girls

Click on the (episode) slot and type in the episode you want.
Click on the (rank number) and give that episode the rank you want.

With an easy rank/episode switching option.
With an auto rank-number fill in in case you want to to remove empty spaces.
A multi-select option for removing episodes/ranks.
A temporary favourites/save group for episodes you want to think about, but completely forgot.

If it's done on whatever website then why do I have to post results here in billion posts. You really want to make this as hard as possible.

>>29783840
I've had Anons question where the results came from or accuse me of stuffing results in.
The "Raw Data" part of the spreadsheet I post in a RAR along with the finished result matches up with what's posted in here to show that things are genuine and not tampered with.

>>29783766
I'll make a note of trying to make something for that for next time.

>>29783859
And I forgot to mention it's fun to discuss the contents of Anons lists too. Helps to keep the thread alive.

>>29783859
Then just make a list of numbers that can possibly fit in one post
It will also take seconds to import it wherever you use it.

>>29783881
That may be able to work. Trying to fit just the rank and episode/movie codes in I could fit up to 9 seasons plus the movies into one post under 2000 characters.

Again though, like I said above, it's nice to be able to discuss the lists in the thread. Shortening it to just be the rank and episode code would make the thread lose that for the convenience of posting it all as one. I could do it if Anons didn't care to have the names in the thread to possibly discuss the lists as they're posted, but otherwise I didn't think the extra few minutes to post the list after spending all the time to make it would be that much of a problem.

>>29783736
77 minutes and 22 minutes, but fair.

>>29783766
but making a list and then sorting a visible list will almost definitely introduce a bias.

>>29783736
How else am I going to see where they end up stacking up against the show?
As much as I dislike EqG, it's still a part of the universe. Rainbow Rocks seems to do pretty well each time too for an EqG movie.

>>29783881
This is actually a great idea.

>>29783936
>Trying to fit just the rank and episode/movie codes
You can simplify it even further. Just code the episodes+movies in order (01-26 for S1, 27-52 for S2 and so on) and let the order define the ranking. For example:
26 25 65 33 21 64 ...

Which would be
1st: Ep 26
2nd: Ep 25
...

>>29783766
I think the whole purpose of this kind of sorter is that it's not just a list, you actively compare the episodes between themselves, not to your absolute favourites.

>making 3 posts is hard
How do you even have the strenght to get out of bed in the morning?

>>29783463
so average position is how many spaces they are from the top, while proximity to max points is how many points they are from the top, right? It's really interesting that those don't line up. Is this taking into account that different amounts of Anons are taking it every time and higher episodes get more points in later surveys?

>>29784317
The difference is coming from the gaps between places in each method.
An episode may be 50th place out of 100 making its position 50% to 1st, but if that episode has 700 points when the highest place has 1000 then that would put it at 70% for proximity to maximum points in that survey.
Reason why I'm liking the proximity to max more is that it represents those gaps better. As opposed to just counting 1, 2, 3, etc. it's looking at the points which could go something like 1000, 990, 950, etc.
Everything is out of 100 based on each individual survey. 99/100 is definitely more than 62/63, but if something is really 2nd place every time then that won't matter as much. Points don't matter cause, again, everything is scaled out of 100. The 100 there would just be the highest point total and then it goes down from there depending on how close it is to that maximum.

>>29783423

And what exactly is wrong with consistency? If it's good, it's good. You're free to disagree with the opinion itself but stop pretending there is some secret circlejerk of 100 people rigging the polls, or a bias built in the survey to make it come out on the top all the time.
>100 anons really doesn't come close to the overall opinion
Does it not? How many IPs does an episode thread have, again? 100 people is a good quarter of the board's regulars at least. Can you just not handle that so many people disagree with you taste that you hallucinate that there's a silent majority here somewhere that totally agrees with you?
>>29783480
If there's anyone who should improve himself it's you, because so far all you've been doing is bitching and anything and everything without any real contribution.
>>29783766
>make a list
>just dump 140+ episodes on people to sort them out manually
>don't even require them to do any real comparing between individual episodes
Oh yes, I am sure this solution is much less tedious and definitely won't introduce any biases, no sir.
>>29783840
>posting three posts is hard
If those three minutes are such a waste of time, what the fuck are you still doing here shitposting for an hour about this? Shouldn't you be slaving yourself somewhere if wasting that half a minute it takes to fill out the post, solve the captcha and wait for the post timer is such a bother?

>>29783974
It's not a great idea. I want to see what people think, compliment, complain, argue or shitpost about their opinions. I won't be able to do that when the list is justs "episode 89, episode 121..." and so on. If you care enough to spend that half an hour clicking pictures you can also spend those couple extra minutes making three posts instead of one. And if you can't then I doubt the integrity of your list.

>>29784605
All of this. basically.

>>29784605
Every single sentence from that wall of text shows you're a major autist.

But you don't. You get A > B and 30 minutes later C > A. You never compare B and C.
With list you do.

shit bait, samefag

>>29784773
>it's better to blindly click 1000 times without a single idea what will come out of this than having a perfect view of what you're doing with far less work required.
Yes, because clicking "blindly" is the only way to get an unbiased ranking.

>>29784773
And when it takes over 40 minutes you will completely forget what you did at the beginning. You probably completely changed your mind but you don't want to go through all of this again.

>>29784773
Because you bitching about how you're too lazy to do something nobody forces you to do is not autistic as fuck, right.
>it's better to blindly click 100 times without a single idea what will come out
But you have a really good idea about what comes out while you're doing the poll. You should have a good idea, unless you literally are just randomly clicking.
If you're able to say that A>B and B>C then that automatically means that A>C. If for some reason you're trying to say that the sorter is wrong because the first statements are true but C is actually greater than A, then it's not the survey being wrong, that's just you being a fucking retard.
More importantly, the list doesn't force you to do anything. It just lays out all the episodes in front of you and orders you to order them. You're not required to do any thinking at all. While the survey as it is forces you to at least compare A>B and B>C, the list doesn't force you to do anything. In an ideal world everyone would be doing their best conscentiously, but in an ideal world we also wouldn't have people like you complaining about this.
It's also funny that at one place you're bitching how clicking pictures is tedious, but you wouldn't apparently have any problems doing a full list with comparing every and each individual episode with each other.

>>29784795
>You get A > B and 30 minutes later C > A. You never compare B and C.
>unbiased
Especially when you actually think that B>C so you should get B>A and C>A. But you can't because you don't even remember about B. It's perfectly biased because all episodes are in order.
I remember seeing some episodes only once so they ended in the bottom even though they aren't the worst.

>>29784803
If you're being so indecisive you contradict yourself 30 minutes in, the poll actually allows you to fix it. Let's say you rank four episodes from best to worst as ABCD. The last rounds of the poll offer you A vs C, assuming you will vote for A, but under A there is also B and under C there is also D in case you changed your mind. So you can actually change the ABCD order in literally any combination you can.

>>29784877
Assuming you voted A > B and C > A then B > C is actually false. But as I said above, even if you changed your mind or are too dumb to operate a poll which only requires you to click on a picture you like more than the picture on the other side, you can always fix your mistakes.

>>29784899
Is it so hard to admit that only super autist like you can think wasting 1 hour to get shit result is better than wasting 10-20 minutes to get far better result?

The best turbo autist shit is that you can't comprehend that some episodes can be equal.

>>29784921
Is it so hard to admit that you have no fucking idea about transitive relations, fucking retard?

>>29784921
So you're saying you can compare each individual episode with a list in 10-20 minutes to get a "better" result, but somehow clicking pictures and not comparing every single episode takes you an hour?

>>29784943
>countless
So you probably don't even know how many fingers you have on your hand, eh? Choosing equal won't fuck up the result. Choosing that 60 episodes are equal will make you look like an idiot, but even that won't fuck up the result. If you want to throw shit around at least try to pretend that you know what you're talking about.

Yeah, no. Also you're not obliged to using the sorting code to make a list, you can open a fucking notepad and start sorting it manually if you want to.

But then you also have to posts, "like a billion posts". Who has time for that? Not that guy, that's for sure.

>>29785017
And that would work for everyone if you didn't shill your poll so hard and didn't put it like it's the only way to do this.

>>29784934
I know they can be, but given the way the lists work it's strongly discouraged.
I sat there for a good amount of time choosing between Amending Fences or CotLM, but if it had taken long enough that I needed to pick the indecisive option then it was there. I just don't want it to be jumped to quickly and nonchalantly, but instead as a last resort when you can't help but put two next to each other.

>>29785021
Yo said that you can't compare B and C in the poll. The sorter shows (A,B) and (C,A), two comparisons. Sorting manually you'd have more comparisons to actually compare B and C.

If you know nothing about sorting theory, shut the fuck up.

>>29785040
I've been asleep the last hour, but as I said earlier I've got your idea in a notepad for next time since it's too late to add it now. I like letting Ideas sit for a while to get talked out, like what's happening now, to make sure it's something that will work for what I'm trying to do. I'll bring it up again post S7 and see what the opinion is then.
At very least it may be nice to allow it to import lists from the sorter if minor tweaks are needed and Anons are afraid of breaking something manually fixing it themselves.

>>29785055
Who are you quoting? Where have I said that the list requires less work? I'm arguing for the opposite. It's you who claims the list (and comparing between each individual episode) takes only 10-20 minutes to get a "far better result", somehow.
Here's an idea, not to be a complete savage, but how about you improve yourself by fucking off and designing your own list that takes 10-20 minutes to do, with blackjack, hookers and everything? I will gladly hop on to give you my opinions about the show there as well.

>>29785095
You're talking too much about "comparisons". You don't have to compare your favorite episode with others. You just move it to top once. The same way you can move some to top and some to bottom. Now you compare them more carefully. Or do it in totally different way. There is no limit on method here.
This has nothing to do with sorting algorithms. It's about what's easier to do for normal people. Being able to always see the result/progress is better.
If you're so afraid, episode description can popup anywhere on click/hover.

Now super protip. You get sorter but the list created is always visible and at the end you get the chance to drag/sort the list. Tons of code ready to use.

>>29785320
The amount of comparisons/battles is what takes the actual time and what we aim to make as low as possible.
To order all episodes in 20 minutes, you need to decide on the position of seven episodes each minute. You have about 8 seconds for each episode. That's basically impossible even if you decided on the order ahead of time. Making it just a drag and drop list instead of a sorter doesn't force you to stop and think about the episode.
If you're carefully considering the standing of each episode that means that 1) you're obviously not bothered by this taking time because you are invested in it, 2) the sorter work just fine for you and 3) making a list instead of going through the sorting doesn't save you (much, if any) time anyway.
If you're not, and are just dropping the best and the worst episodes in there from the top of your head you are more prone to the biases you are so worried about. Sorter also takes care of having dilemmas like "should this episode be 57th, or 58th?" every single time you're going through the list and are already in the territory where it's difficult to determine which episode is better (so anything top/bottom 20, imo).
Having the chance to drag episodes in the list after you're done with the sorter is actually a legit improvement I can support, so I'm glad we finally got something out of this. Not so sure about it being visible during the sorting. While sorting the only thing that should matter is "Is A or B better", not "Is A too high than I think it should be, so should I choose B instead to compensate". You're letting yourself fuck up the sorting that way.

>>29785410
That last paragraph is what I was thinking too. I know there's a few times I get Anons asking to move one or two things around, so having that be built in for next time would be nice.

Question if the Anon that made the sorter is around.
Just in case you're not around next time, how easy is it to add more episodes? And how easy would it be for someone with the right knowledge to pick it apart and add to it if I got more ideas in that case?

>>29785823
Not the codefag but it's really easy. You literally only need to add the new episodes on the data array that's included on the code.

goddam, that was a good episode.

>>29785320
>You get sorter but the list created is always visible and at the end you get the chance to drag/sort the list.
Minus the always visible part, I'd be okay with this. I'm going to try to avoid editing my list after it is complete, but respect that one might want to. and making the list only appear afterwards and be formed from the sorter would remove default position bias etc.
>You don't have to compare your favorite episode with others.
It should only take you 2 seconds to always pick your favorite episode in a direct comparison to any other episode, and it would very quickly be moved to an upper echelon. This is actually probably faster than comparing your whole top 10/20 as a lump, which is like comparing the middle 100.

>>29785410
Again, all of this. (and no this isn't a samefag, fag.)


Basically, the sorter is great (and the new one is even better), but you are not being forced to use it, only provide a list. I would definitely recommend using it and then possibly editing the list manually only afterwards.

>>29785823
I'm not him, but I stole it and copied in all the starter pokemon, the first 150, and all my friends names. I've been hijacking the code and playing with codepen.io just to compare lists to satiate my autism.
It's all HTML (in the first sorter at least) and you can edit the list very easily if you're not retarded and ctrl+f and episode name. I don't know how to make the pictures work for any picture though. The picture and the link below the button use the same link or something and it only works for the layout of the mlp wiki I guess. I'm actually curious about that codefag.

>>29786625

Bump before work.

>>29788676
The json layout may be a bit confusing. There's the base json array which contains name, img (that's the image link used) and wikiImg (not used but I left it in there; it's link to the image on mlp wikia) and wiki link (that's the small i in the corner). And then there's the extra array, which contains id (that should in reality be the position of the extra-data-object in the array; yes, it could be cleaned up a bit, I mostly did it this way so that I could edit it column-wise in vim) and then array of description objects ("name" and "val" which is shown in the extra info box). I could probably clean it up so that it accepts only one array with complete data.

I did my best to make sorter.json readable, the logic is in "sorter" object and the layout/rendering stuff is in "sorterModel", the methods should hopefully be named in a way that makes it somewhat clear what they do.

>>29788676
>>29785823
I updated it a bit, now everything is in one array - the data for the sorter box and data for the info box, everything formated to make it readable, in one object. One thing that should be also done is change it so that the code loads the data from data.json, instead of having data.js with assignment. I'm sure it's not hard, but I'm too lazy to find out right now. It should be just few changes in index.html (the <script src=data...> and the ... = new Sorter(...) bit).

>>29792737
So split out musicals and ones with memorable songs? If I split out by just ones with songs then I'd get stuff like The Show Stoppers and Over a Barrel mixed in there when they aren't best known for their songs.

>>29794260
I guess they aren't remembered for their songs because the songs weren't super great, possibly. That's still the data though. There are enough episodes that you might still see a trend.

What's the point of having a poll if your fanbase is a hivemind? What's the point of writing that incredibly self-absorbed reply if you're hiding here like a coward where the smart and sensical people who know what's right, are absent?
You're an abstute idiot who surrounded himself in clones of himself, that's the most redundant thing someone could do in his life.

Your hypocritical personality just takes the cake. You're just a smug, self-centered asshole in denial, who's lying through his teeth and calling everyone else insane for not following his assbackwards mentality like the rest of his circlejerk.
You made everyone feel angry enough to ban your entire idiocy in 1 board - all because of your ego-centric teenager persona from /b/? Go kill yourself if you refuse to mature. You're far too gone to change at this point.

>>29799133
I don't trip or use a name cause I find it unnecessary for this kind of thread, but in case you're implying it then that guy's not OP.
I'm well aware of the possibility that this thread's participants may have ended up being the same ones over and over again, but I have no way to tell. The big issue is that barrier to entry that is having to make a list out of 6 seasons and 4 movies worth of content. This may very well be what the average opinion on the board is, but there's no way for me to tell otherwise unless there's conflicting data to compare with. I've got your list idea down for next time and I really hope something like that helps to get more Anons to participate.

Do you have any evidence to show this may not be it? I don't mind discussing it.
Also I'm curious, did you end up making, or trying to make, a list?

So is there anything so far in >>29796823 that's surprising to you /mlp/?
Any episodes you expected a much different place for and can't figure out why it is where it is?

Bump before bed.

>>29801766
My memory of seasons 5 and 6 is hazy, but because I missed the last survey I'm very surprised Amending Fences is this high up. I thought people didn't like it because everybody on /mlp/ is so jaded and I never see positive opinions on anything. Sometimes I wonder why any of them are even here.

Also, looking at >>29786625 and >>29801766, I don't know if I'm surprised per se, but I'm feeling like there is a lot more love for Faust and earlier episodes than there was even in the season 3 survey. Season 2 won that one, even.

>>29778466
>Eqg at 73, 127, 132, and 133.
I know Rainbow Rocks was the best one, but not this massively. And the first one being several spaces above 3 and 4 is just bologna. I'm glad we're phasing out All Our Ideas.

>>29803028
If you look at >>29783644 then you can see how that movie really spiked on the position chart second from the right at 88th place there. Going from the average 34.49% to first to 47.06% last survey and then back down to 29.41% so far in this one is telling.

The pilot being so damn high is ridiculous. I'm fine with it being back around the ~30th place, but not top 15. Pinkie Pride continues to be on top because dude weird al lmao. Dragonshy has that huge gain, but then again it was extremely low last poll for some reason, so all in all I'm fine with this.

I think people undersell Newbie Dash. I understand that Dash imitating her friends was cringe humor and kinda dumb, but the episode was fine other than that, so it being so low is unfair to it. I guess it still stings, and it will take some time to settle.

>Dash imitating her friends
The whole episode was cringe humor. If you like cringe humor I guess that it could be enough to make it a good episode for you, but for someone who doesn't like cringe humor I don't think that "if you ignore the whole episode, it was a good episode" can really work.

>>29804008
I disagree. I don't enjoy cringe humor, but the opening with Dash being accepted, training and hazing was fine. Same with the performance and the ending resolution. Where was the cringe in that?
For example Equestria Games with Spike singing the anthem was top cringe, but also the episode as a whole was pretty bland and boring. Newbie Dash is more solid all around, features major development and more Wonderbolts lore/worldbuilding. I'm not saying the episode is stellar, but at least it shouldn't be below Brotherhooves Social or Daring Don't.

Yeah, in all her efforts she fucked up so Spitfire could lay it out on her. But this is just slapstick comedy, it's not the character behaving like a retard (see Dash imitating her friends) to make you feel second hand embarrassment. Just the world shitting on her in ways she shouldn't be able to survive. Was the piano falling on Twilight in FPK cringe humor?

>>29796823
>It's About Time
>FiM
>Rarity Investigates
>Sisterhooves Social
They're solid episodes but it seems strange to me that these are in the top 25

>>29804080
Feeling Pinkie Keen has always been my least favorite S1 episode, and I've always considered it "cringe humor". Any intentionally cringeworthy scene played for laughs is cringe humor in my book. And it's something that works great in, I don't know, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. But I can't stand it in this show, it feels completely out of place.

>>29804109
I get the appeal of FiM and as a rarifag I cannot really complain about RI and SS because those episodes deserve it in my opinion, but It's About Time is a curious case. The time travelling was interesting and it had that classic "monitor everything" Twilight freak out, but aside from that nothing really stands out for me. I know some people (including me) weren't quite happy how they repeated the whole opening in the end, probably for the kids to get it, but it was a waste of time for me. The episode is by no means bad, but it's impressive that it manages to stay in top 20, even as newer episodes are added to the mix.

>>29804125
Alright, that's fine then, we're basically arguing semantics now. I don't consider slapstick or physical stuff in general as cringe humor, for me that is only the character/dialogue driven embarrassment, so the imitating, Spike's anthem, Big Mac crossdressing and pretending it's not obvious, so on. As in, not everything where you feel bad for the character, but just the scenes where you're like "dude, just stop". But I get where you're coming from, we're just looking at it differently.

Morning bump.

Bump before work.

>>29803991
Only cringe humor that really bothered me was Spike in Equestria Games. That one hurt to watch.

what's strange about that

>>29804109
Only strange one to me is It's About Time. Solid indeed, but I'd think it would be lower than the top 25.
I'm not sure what about it puts it so far up when it was meh to me.

Evening bump with the average episode ranking by writer so far to >>29786285 with 32 Anons.

>>29807757
It's been three days since a list? I thought it would accelerate, not slow down. Still working. The Cart Before the Ponies is bad.

>>29807818
I'm banking on Anons coming back from the hiatus for the premiere and a slow trickle of Anons leading up to it.

Nearly midnight where I am bump.

>>29808658
3:15 where I am bump.

Considering 71 is the lowest amount of lists gotten in one of these surveys and 106 is the most, what do you think is the minimum count that you'd personally recognize as statistically relevant for the board?
I'm not asking out of doubt that we'll get more Anons for this one, but more out of curiosity since there's a 25 Anon swing up there between the low and high.

Bump before work.

>>29810308
I don't know what a statistician would say, but the fact that all the same episodes end up on top and bottom indicates to me that we have close to enough lists to be significant.

>>29810800
Alright. I'm probably going to try and say something a few times in the Premiere thread to get those Anons coming back from hiatus to participate, but otherwise I'll just let this ride. I'd feel wrong throwing lines out to other threads, except perhaps mlpg, to try and get Anons in anyway.

>>29810308
I estimate only around 250 anons who are still actively watching the show and posting about it here judging from the various episode threads. I'm not a statsman, but if we manage to get 50 replies I'll be pretty happy about the accuracy of the rankings.

>>29812060
I wish we had an IP counter earlier on in the board. Would've been nice to see what kind of count we had around the end of S2 compared to now.

>>29814288
I have literally no idea why The Best Night Ever is anywhere near the top. It has nothing to offer me. And the whole premise is cringe.

>>29814383
All the main 6 excited out of their minds at doing the things they've been dreaming of, freaking out when things go bad, and then melting down in their own unique ways was cute and funny to me. Plus that song was great.
What about the premise is cringe to you? I didn't ever feel any cringe watching that one.

Bump before bed.

>>29814653
Not that the premise was cringey, but that the premise of the episode was literally cringe. All six of them are completely autistic and inappropriate, and are then portrayed in a possitive light for it, being the protagonists. It was a completely passable episode, and had Trollestia, which is always good, but it's just not very interesting to me at all.

Apparently the trailer increases speed of the thread. Page 10

So much butthurt and denial for someone who's telling you to improve yourselves and points out what a bunch of shit sociopathic people you all are minus a few.

I hope honest to god you take your own advice and kill yourselves. Someone will make a new poll much easier to use.

>>29817674
It's a great way to ignore the point. You say that season 1 is the only good season, and the other seasons are shit. The chart shows that season 1 is always the season with more votes. And for some reason you disagree with the results. No, seriously, what exactly do you expect?

>>29817705
>You say
Don't put words in my mouth, I'm not that anon.
I only made a short post here because I noticed how shit the behaviour of this board is. That obsession with autistically screeching at anyone who dares to even mention improvements. At least the anon behind the poll took the advice in mind.

>>29817735
>I'm not that anon
You write exactly like him though.

>>29817762
The sky is always black for you too.

>>29817768
Nah, just saying that it's a surprising coincidence that someone has been posting in a few threads about Vogel ruining the show, and just at the same time you come back here. You used the exact same words he uses to attack to anyone who disagrees, "hypocritical", "coward", "in denial", etc. And everyone knows that he usually posts pretending to be different people that agree with him. So, yeah, I'm pretty sure that you're him. Am dreptate?

>>29817819

he's kind of a trainwreck. be nice to him.

>>29817674
>improve yourselves
I guess we're both reading two different threads. All I see is an autist smugly telling everyone how shit they are, throwing insults around without actually putting up anything worth noting except for "make a list".

And I'm completely neglecting the fact that you reek of obvious samefagging and giving you the benefit of the doubt that there are actually two this much delusional faggots instead of one right now. That's a favor from me.

>>29817636
Not anymore. As of this one so far it's 3rd or 4th.

I don't know if it's fair to compare the Premire's and Finale's with the Slice of Life episodes

It's like they're in different categories

>>29818568
They're all from the same show though. The purpose of this survey is to try and get the boards average opinion about how the episodes and EqG movies compare with one another. They may be different, and I could probably try and graph adventure versus slice of life to see how different, but for this one they're all lumped in together.

Evening bump.

Seriously.

it's the weekend, Anons! I'll be watching some pony. Or I'll get distracted again and watch Wakfu or Star Vs. finally. Hopefully pony. The few episodes I've rewatched so far have been bad/predictable for the first half but always pulled themselves out of it with good moral lessons, which always get me.

Because I have nothing better to do for this at the moment, the next thing I'm gonna try and do is compare SoL versus adventure since >>29818568 suggested it.

Feel free to suggest what type you think each episode is.

>>29820755
Oh, god, I would not be able to help very much in categorization of that. But Slice of Life is slice of life.

>>29814288
> the best night ever

We've got a lot of shit taste here.

>>29820830
Those usually end up above that one on average. Not by much, 3 or 6 ranks, but still above it.

>>29820890
That's just silly. The BEST episode is seasons 1-2 discounting the return of harmony is suited for success.

Semi-related: The only problem I have with MMC is just as apparent in RoH.
>Eureka!
>forcibly magics her friends
>problem solved
It's actually better in MMC because she had the ponies help the pony doing their job, so it at least looks like it isn't just an ex machina.

First pass through and not many of these feel immediately adventure-y.

>>29820794
I'm gonna take a whack at it and let this thread and, if they feel like it, mlpg pick it apart.
Maybe it'll be fun to try and define some of the more borderline ones.

>>29820971
I thought Celestia sending back the letters in a last desperate attempt was kind of neat actually. That one was more a story of showing how Twilight's friendships with the main 6 grew over the last season in my opinion, and how that strength can even hit someone like Discord hard.

>>29820755
Man, I tried doing this but so many episodes exist in a grey area for me. For example Feeling Pinkie Keen has SoL as well as significant Adventure parts.

>>29821041
I know. I feel like something like this would be too subjective unless there was a solid definition for what can be defined as each. Even then though there would still be grey areas like that unless I went by what percentage is SoL or something like that.

>>29821027
>I thought Celestia sending back the letters in a last desperate attempt was kind of neat actually. That one was more a story of showing how Twilight's friendships with the main 6 grew over the last season in my opinion, and how that strength can even hit someone like Discord hard.
Eh, the letter thing is pretty neat but it only feels like informed progress anyway.

>>29821054
I'd go with something like if the ponies face any immediate danger or visit new locations, it's adventure.
So FPK would be adventure, but Sidekicks/Games Ponies Play are SoL.
Some criteria like that, anyway, otherwise we'll end up with a lot of slices of life but not many adventures.

Bump before bed.

Again, in terms of trends, I think my results are valid. In terms of the individual episodes, I think certain ones can be misplaced. For example, Rarity Takes Manehattan is waay to low in my opinion, however I will not tamper with my results, and submit my (potentially flawed) results as the results that I achieved.

>>29821774

I meant this is not the list that I personally will roll by, although for the most part it is correct. To the people running the stats:

YOU CAN USE MY LIST
>YOU CAN USE MY LIST

YOU CAN USE MY LIST

Again, I am not baiting. Some things were just put out of place. Generally speaking, most things are where they should be though. These are my stats that I will enter in for myself.

>>29821797
>YOU CAN USE MY LIST
Be honest, are you even from here?

>>29821903
Yes I am. I know it seems like not, because of the problematic list, the tripcode, and the /sp/-tier post style, but I swear I've been here for almost 4 years now. I had 3 hours of sleep last night, so maybe that explains if I'm speaking like an autist.

I wrote "YOU CAN USE MY LIST" because I want to make sure that they fucking use it. I spent 2 fucking hours of my life working on it, I want it to help these stats. Certain episodes are somewhat misplaced, but overall, it does demonstrate where I believe everything tends to be.

Again, sorry if I sound like an autist, I would just hate for 2 hours of my life to go down the fucking drain because of a typo in the first message. To prove I go here, I guess I could say some stuff that someone who has been here a while would know. Like clopwork anon killing himself, Strelnikov killing himself, scruffening, biscuitanon's original greentext. Whatever, I just wanna make sure they don't think my list is a joke/bait.

>>29821797
That is a perfectly normal list and you are not being judged. I look at the top 20 and bottom 20, as well as the placement of EqG and the only thing that's getting to me is FiM being that high, and a few episodes like CotLM being so low, because they are amazing.

>>29821991
Like I said, certain episodes can be misplaced, like Rainbow Falls. I totally acknowledge that. That may have been my fault, however the general trends in seasons/most episodes are mostly the same as what I predicted it to be. Maybe you can add that in your analysis, how some anons feel about their tests? I don't know.

But thanks for accepting it anon, I was just worried it wasn't gonna go through, that was a rough one. Truly a lad!

>>29821991
>>29822019
Looking at my list, I would personally give mistakes a fluctuation of 30. For instance, I could see FiM going below Princess Twilight, and Princess Twilight gaining a little bit more.

I don't know if you can use this at all, but figured I'd mention it yah?

>>29822019
>>29822033
I'm not the stat man/OP
I would definitely recommend using it [the sorter] and then possibly editing the list manually only afterwards.

I.E. you can edit this list if you'd like. Statanon is probably cool with it.

64KB, 3046x441px

Bump with the trends so far to >>29821774 with 33 Anons.
Interesting that Seasons 1 and 5 are the only two to beat the overall curve even though it's S1>S2>S5 right now. I know S2 had a higher standard to follow being earlier and is lopsided because of RoH and Lesson Zero being so high up, but still interesting.

>>29821797
>>29821933
The other Anon is indeed correct. What in your list made you think I'd discard it? There's been more bait-y stuff that other Anons likely wished I'd have discarded that I kept cause I'm looking for all the opinions, even the really bad ones, and yours isn't too terrible.
If you'd like, I can definitely move stuff around. I was considering asking for the addition of a list shifting function to the sorter for after it churns out a list for the next survey anyway.

For now though, here's your individual stats: S1(97) > S2(90) > S6(66) > S3(62) > S4(60) > S5(59) and top writer Lauren Faust (Jennifer Skelly, writer of only Buckball Season, was almost tied, with 2 points less)

Bump before I go out to do normie stuff for a while. I'll be back in a few hours.

>>29822873
I have little time today, but I'll consider trying to edit it in the future. I don't necessarily agree with the curve I was given which is what makes me want to edit it. For now, that list will work, but if I get the oppurtunity I'll fix it.

>>29823181

>>29823282
Okay. Just say so if you'd like it changed later.

Have a bump.

How much of a bump do you think we'll get from Anons returning to /mlp/ from hiatus?

>>29832215
Probably near the weekend/after ep1 airs will be the most we get but I'm not sure if it's gonna be a lot.

Well, in the movie, Twilight Sparkle dies in an explosion after trying to make a magic potion goes horribly wrong. Spike is badly injured and nursed back to health by Rarity. She adopts him and the two become boyfriend and girlfriend. Rainbow Dash refuses to fly ever again because she blames herself since Twilight was making a potion for her. Fluttershy goes into shock and deep depression and walks out into the woods to live with the animals. Applejack still tries to maintain a normal life but apples are not selling as much as they used to sell so she is facing the possibility of going broke and losing the farm. Meanwhile Rarity throws herself into her work and ends up becoming a shut in and sociopath. Princess Celestia tries to cheer everyone up but it does not work and with all the elements of harmony fucked up Discord takes over. The end.

>>29835561
Can I ask why Top Bolt? Not trying to start shit, genuinely interested.

Can somebody tell me why Applejack's "Day" Off is so poorly rated? I had forgotten what it was until I just watched it again. I like the message. It's not super funny or cute or anything special but "question tradition" is a great thing to teach kids that isn't talked about enough.

Would that be during season 1, in the hiatus after, or during season 2?
I put you down as the post season 1 hiatus in case you don't say otherwise.

>>29836009
It was a case of forcing a character to fit the plot and we've already had a similar lesson all the way back in Applebuck Season. Beyond that, the pacing is awful and the episode drags itself out.

>>29836287
That sequence of following the pipes felt like it took 5 minutes with how it dragged on.

>>29836287
I mean, I guess Applejack was pretty dumb for the sake of the plot but that's most every episode, and it's acknowledged here. I liked it. I don't know where it's going to end up because I like effectively every episode, but I do like it.

Morning bump.

>>29836688
Very likely somewhere in the middle is where that will end up for you with that mindset for it. Usually what you really like/hate you'll know will be up top or down near the bottom, but otherwise it's just a mix of stuff in the middle usually.

Bump before work.

>>29835683
Not him, but that one had two cute new ponies and good Twilight and Dash interaction. I could see why it may take the top for someone.

Evening bump.

I actually get irritated when the EQG gets rated dead last because >no hooves. Like I agree they suck to most of FiM, but c'mon, dead last? Were all of the movies really worse than The Crystal Empire, The Crystalling, SAYS?

I mean, I guess I see how others -could- think that, but damn.

>>29841749
I kinda like those first two, but SayS ended up dead last in mine for a reason. Three FiM episodes ended up getting caught under the movies in some form in mine.

I don't understand all you people puting the season one episodes so high, but what's confusing me about this is
>pandering, the episode
being in the top five along with the others. I would probably put SoL above all of those, minus maybe amending fences.

I also respect that Twilight's Kingdom is as high as it is along with Every Little Thing She Does. You seem to like episodes that get a lot of hate despite also liking the I think boring episodes. You are a strange one.

>>29841166
>now, the reason because the movies are at the bottom is because i tried to order them in the form i actually like them, being RR first, then the camp everfree, then the first movie, and with friendship games in the end
What?
Also I retract the statement that I respect you because you put RR at 136

>>29841963
i guess someone had to be the 1%. i don't mind to be honest

>>29841978
what i try to say is i don't take the movies as canon, but as a spin-off. that's the reason the are at the bottom. i would prefer they were in a total different chart, instead of share it with the main show

Bump before I leave for work.

>>29843770
>i would prefer they were in a total different chart, instead of share it with the main show
I have it in there to be compared with the show because it's still a part of that universe and I wanted to see what episodes Anons consider comparable to them. Applejack's Day Off being the new low speaks to how much the board really disliked that episode for example.

Gets bigger with every new season as more episodes get added. Unfortunately it seems to get more intimidating too, so there are less Anons willing to go through with making a list.

>what i try to say is i don't take the movies as canon, but as a spin-off. that's the reason the are at the bottom. i would prefer they were in a total different chart, instead of share it with the main show
Who fucking cares what your thoughts on canon are
You're supposed to rank everything on the list from best to worst
Doing dumb shit like this skews results in an unfair manner to the point where they don't mean shit

After looking at these lists I'm realizing just how loved Amending Fences was and just how hated It Ain't Easy Being Breezies is and I'm so confused

About from 120 downward is where episodes start to get to the point where I don't enjoy them. 45 up is where I'd say that I love those episodes.

>>29854239
>good episodes are loved
>bad episodes are hated
What's confusing about that?

>>29855242
IAEBB was one of the more mature episodes of the series, teaching Fluttershy about dangers of being too kind, which is always a great lesson for a show like MLP

>>29855354
It's really disappointing. I think both Flutter Brutter and It Ain't Easy Being Breezies were essentially the same episode, but IAEBB was much, much better. There was actual evolution in the Breezies, from critters who needed help, to jerks, and back to responsible and mature beings. Flutter Brutter completely omitted the first part, and rushed as fuck the last part, making the evolution of Zephyr a mess. I can't understand why people like a bad rehash better than the much superior original.

Bump with the trends so far to >>29854202 with 36 Anons.

And because I was curious what this looked like so far, here's the top 5 of each season with averages to >>29854202 with 36 Anons before I leave for work.

>>29855616
Only thing on there that kind of surprises me is It's About Time being in the top 3 of season 2. Sure it was good, but I didn't think it was that great.

>>29855616
In case it's not clear since I didn't put it in there.
Those averages are for the top 5 of each season, not the season as a whole.

Must really like those songs in the first one.

>Pinkie Pride

>>29857579
What's so bad about ACW and Pinkie Pride? Is it Cadance being an alicorn in ACW and everyone but Pinkie being stupid in her episode?

>>29858072
ACW: new Alicorn and Twilight's brother out of nowhere, mane 5 forgetting the lesson from Lesson Zero, Chrysalis losing b/c she's apparently braindead

Pinkie Pride: not that bad but definitely not top 5

>>29858145
Fair enough. What would you replace Pinkie Pride with?

Evening bump.

It's almost Friday bump.

Bump before bed with the average episode ranking by season to >>29854202 with 36 Anons so far.
I'm curious how much this one is gonna change if we end up getting a bump in Anons in the last week with ones possibly returning for the new season.

>>29860517

>>29858797
Probably Rainbow Falls, because I really like Twilight in it

Morning bump with the average episode ranking by central character, including the list of who was assigned what episode, so far to >>29854202 with 36 Anons.
I was curious how Starlight was doing after seeing a shitpost about her ruining episodes and found that if you remove The Crystalling, which was ruined more by Flurry it seems, then she'd actually be second on here so far with 3021 points on average. That premiere really shoves her average down.

Bump before work.

Afternoon bump.

Later in the afternoon bump.

I'm thinking sometime a little after the premiere I'll drop a link in mlpg and the episode sticky to try and get returning Anons into here to make a list if they're interested.

Evening bump.
