Ask Lyra
Month
1) I wouldn’t think so.
2) B: I haven’t. There are some similarities based on this synopsis, certainly. However, the key difference is that we aren’t assassins. While taking a life is sometimes unavoidable, particularly with dragons, we do everything in our power to spare the lives of all those involved. Death is not an acceptable punishment; just a last resort in order to keep our country safe from those who cannot change.
3) Sounds good to me! I hope they continue the plotline to its long awaited end. It would be a shame to turn it into one of those forever adventures that never go anywhere.
4) Only one Billy I know of that could have sent that message…
5) I don’t hate anypony based on their species. I might have to resort to unfair judgements under short-term conditions, but you don’t even have to prove to me that you’re a kind person for me to change my opinion.
Just that you aren’t out to kill me.
6) Huh.
I mean, it’s none of my business either way. I just never thought about it before.
1) Oh I know. I’ve seen it. It’s just, you know, fantasy… reality… It’s not that hard to tell the difference, is it?
2) I’d like to hope my evil twin would have better taste than that.
3) No thanks. Not a fan of the monkey paw effect.
4) If you have to ask, you’ll never know.
5) I’m not sorry.
6) It can happen, certainly. Equestria is a clean place with pretty good medical care, though. If it does begin to form, it can typically be treated quickly before it gets bad.
7) *Was crushed by a 20 foot long sword because you weren’t thinking about how heavy that would be, you inconsiderate prick.*
I was talking to the principle of this primary school I’ve been subbing at for most of this year and he was telling me about the automated process our résumé’s go through since they upgraded the online system.
Now, for a while I’ve known that they have a program that can look at your résumé and pull out certain information to help with online applications. Name, previous work experience, that sort of thing. But, as it turns out it doesn’t stop there. The program will search through your skills section looking for words that relate back to skill requirements for the job you’re applying for. If it doesn’t find enough of those words, it will eliminate your application entirely from that listing without any living creature ever laying eyes on it.
So anyone having trouble finding work, there’s a heads up. If a slow-to-act school system is using this technology, you can bet it’s being used elsewhere.
1) You sound like a robot Trixie.
2) Well that’s a very specific prize for a very specific- Wait! Hold the phone! Second place?!
3) I can’t believe that out of all the pictures drawn of me with fingers I couldn’t find one of me flippin’ the bird with my hoof/hands. I am disappointed, bronies.
4) Nothing else to say on the subject? Very well.
5) Only Krastos. Trained medical personal and Bon-Bon too, but only in the event of a medical butt-touching emergency.
6) That’s not how it’s supposed to work. Wealth is supposed to be the result of hard work, investments, and risk. The stepping on others is just the result of impatient, hateful ponies that, if not for wealth, would have found some other way to make other’s lives miserable.
7) Sure!
Well, probably. At the very least everypony appreciates what Pinkie does for the town.
1) Oh.
They’re just regular ponies. They’re real guards, but they’re mostly there as a deterrent against heated exchanges or aggressive behavior.
2) I dunno. Twilight?
That is, maybe Twilight would know.
3) To be honest, this is probably the best Irish depiction of me I’ve ever seen. Usually they just draw me wearing that hat or one of those vest-suits. That’s not culturally accurate; fillies don’t wear those.
Of course, the heavy association with drinking is always a letdown.
4) Nice call back. If I wasn’t being insulted I might look for the last time this was brought up.
5) Well, Krastos and I have started jogging in the morning, but that’s not really for me. Even if I need it more.
6) Not all the time.
Also I miss Hyperbole and a Half.
1) Well, at least it’s different.
2) I haven’t. How much of the movies are even about boxing, as opposed to telling a story with drama and character development. Wouldn’t it be easier to just watch boxing?
3) Yeah. And Prince Albert’s in the can.
4) In the same way it’s creepy to casually read the obituaries or watch a sport just waiting for somepony to get injured or worse. You’re not directly hurting anypony, so there’s nothing wrong with it. But it’s still creepy-morbid and I’d rather not hear about it. Which is pretty much the summation of the creepy tag. Just things I didn’t need to know.
Also, the implication that our lives are just a television show.
5) That’s a strange sort of question. You wouldn’t live long enough to truly comprehend the answer if you did.
And you know I hate that word; it’s the only reason you used it. Stop.
6) Perspective. What appears right isn’t always right. What appears wrong isn’t always wrong. Righting every wrong would only be doing so from your personal perspective. With a limited pool of knowledge to pull from, it would cause untold harm.
7) Sometimes it’s good to take a break, even from something we love. Give it time.
Celestia [omitted]. I mean just [omitted] A, dude. Why in the [omitted] would you-? I mean, God!
Look. I don’t know what kind of upper limits you’ve been researching, but I’ve never come into contact with anything near that size! The width of something that long alone-… Death. No question.
I mean, Celestia [omitted]! What the [omitted] do you think our anatomy looks like?!
As far as the maximum on a bear? You can ask Krastos, but I wouldn’t hold your breath on an answer.
1) Eh… Well one does, depending on your applied definition.
2) Uh… Krastos might be interested in that line of thinking, but I don’t care for history.
3) Does Krastos even have a credit card? Does Equestria even have credit? Will you ever find out?
4) Okay.
I don’t understand what sort of rise you’re expecting to get out of me, like he’s anything more than some random human I just looked up.
5) To clarify, that is not why I said yes. Although every time I think about it I feel sort of sick.
6) How would I go about recording her murdering me?
Also wow. Was that message really from a week ago? I gotta catch up.
7) Yes, and you’d be a horrible boyfriend if you did.
But that’s not to say we couldn’t come to a more neutral compromise. Maybe we play Torchlight 2 together and maybe I decide I want to be brought to nearly the point of throwing up Cels I hate black beans. E~gh.
1) I’m not better than you. No pony is better than anypony else. I’ve just lived a more involving life. That’s not to say I choose to do so.
2) I don’t see it. If all you’re going by is color-scheme, you look like you’d be more related to a Kelpie. No offense, of course!
3) Okay.
Emotional abuse only works if you care about the pony it’s coming from. In other words-
4) Not much in Ponyville. I think everypony is used to seeing him around.
5) Would it not be whitewashing if it was only applied to video games? That’s discrimination.
Wait. Wait. I got another one. It would only be whitewashing if everypony was replaced with Rarity.
To be serious, there’s quite a difference between replacing a human with a pony, and changing the subject’s ethnicity. You can have a human that is both white and hispanic, but you can’t have an equine that is also a human. Humans are still so foreign to us. It’s just hard to relate.
6) Slavery takes all forms. You can be a slave to a system, a slave to desire, a slave to one’s work. I was a “forced employee.” My two primary job descriptions should be evident by this point. I wasn’t really allowed to go to school or anything. I just went. Hard to sneak around when ponies expect a filly to be in school, so there’s not much else I could do.
I stole some things from the schools from time to time, but there really wasn’t much of value there. Mostly food.
I did one last run in Organ Trail, just to see how fast I could make it. Unfortunately, I’m infected from last time so I couldn’t make the trip. And there’s no way I was letting Krastos go without me. So I asked my good friend Tote (NSFW but she draws!) if she could lead! And with sugar coursing through her veins and over 3000 units of food in the wagon- she did mash upon the gas pedal and cross the entire country in less than a week!
Sound was our rock and only got sick once, and only for one hour at that! Strawberry seemed to keep getting sick and the measles lasted for, like, ever before he finally got over it. Twilight “Danny” Sparkle got infected but other than that had no issues. On the other hoof, Kat (who seems to like every single one of my posts (she draws too!)) surviving was a miracle. She got sick, broke her arm, got infected, and then started showing signs of the G-Virus! Tote had to use a medkit on her every two hours and she actually ran out! The group stopped at the airport just before Oregon for about 12 hours to trade for more medkits and once back on the road Kat finally pulled through, but things were looking bleak for a while!
Also, I went back and linked everypony’s name back to their individual tumblrs. I’d do another run and bring some ponies I left out, but I’m sort of bored with this game now.
1) Who decides what constitutes being rich? Is wealth not worth working for? And if not, why ever strive for advancement?
No. I’m no fool. I’m just bitter because I’m poor.
2) I haven’t seen more than a clip or two but the answer is Freddie.
3) Okay. That means what to me?
4) …
5) Okay! Not that you’d be able to tell the difference, of course.
6) It’s not bad. Kermit’s just a whiner.
7) Elite guards? You mean CUE? Their job isn’t technically to protect the princess. It’s to protect the country. Most of the things they do are handled before the public ever knows about them.
I felt bad that Muted Grey died so I played again on hard mode, this time with Krastos in charge! Though we started off with dangerously low supplies, through Krastos’ shrewd trading and grueling pace we all made it!
Mr. Cake never even got sick and Muted Grey only got sick once, but Rainbow Scoots and I got infected. In fact, Rainbow Scoots got bit twice but I think that was just bad luck. We’re still okay, though! Never used a single medkit!
I beat Organ Trail!
Krastos, Bon-Bon and I all arrived unscathed. Unfortunately Fuselight must have stuck his wings out the window because he was infected. Still seemed okay, though. And sorry Muted Grey. You didn’t make it. It was my first time playing and you were sick and I wasn’t paying attention to your health. I’m so sorry.
Game took a lot longer than I was expecting, though.
1) Ninjas are just assassins. They’re ancient hitmares, nothing more. What would that accomplish and how would that allow me to retain any aspect of who I am? I’d be a completely different pony!
2) Nope. I skipped around but nothing ever happens. Bo~ri~ng!
3) Pretty sure it was Princess Cadance and Spike, with invaluable help from Twilight.
4) If this is a SSB game, sure. Just as well as anypony else with full health.
5) So you fight the good fight using asklyra.
6) Find me the full sheet music, with zero cost from my wallet, with complete lead and bass for the entire piece, and I’ll spend the month or two it’ll take to put it all together.
I see no reason to believe anything will change, especially not immediately.
I’ve yet to see any indication that she’s become anymore powerful than she already was. Not that flight is any small feat, but she could already self-levitate. Everypony in Ponyville already knew she was Princess Celestia’s student. If ever she called out, everypony in town already listened and was ready to act when necessary. It might seem different, but ask yourself what’s really changed.
The biggest adjustment for anypony to make will be for Twilight herself. Her personal identity has been altered. We’ve always known who Twilight was, even if only subconsciously. She’s the one that’ll need to come to terms with who and what she really is.
1) Why aren’t you afraid of- oh right… You used to climb trees…
Alright fine. You win. But I’ve been to Cloudsdale. We’ll see how brave you are once we’re so high above the clouds the ground looks like a dirty place-mat. I have an iron nerve.
… Unfortunately that will probably be the last nerve I have left…
2) Gilda? Not everypony that lives through hardship grows into a gentle lady.
3) Don’t know that a commentary on the subject would amount to much. It does whether we want it to or not.
4) That’s… disturbing… And on two different levels, no less! Congratu-creepy-lations!
5) Oh my Cels! Really?! Oh my goodness! Tell me all about it! What happened? Did you get hurt? Did you have to fight a southpaw? Are you a southpaw? What did you win? Do you still box? How do you train? Do you have a lot of boxing friends? Oh my goodness! I never thought I’d get to meet a human boxer before!
6) A-and I know that. I don’t know why I didn’t mention it. I just meant that I’m not really that familiar with Atlus as a developer, let alone the team that works on those games. Now as a distributor, of course. Any fan of SRPGs knows the name Atlus. They brought over Disgaea which single-hoofedly revived the entire genre!
7) It was a good day! Shame it has to be such a solemn anniversary, though.
1) There’s no Mardi Gras in our world because there’s no stigma agai- THERE ARE NO CROTCH-BOOBS!
2) Ordinarily no. But yes!
3) Four white mages? That’ll never work!
4) I haven’t. But I played Hunter: The Reckoning! That was fun!
5) That only happened in one of your daydreams after he walloped you in that one flash game.
Personally, I got as far as Tigger’s invisible ball and said forget it. The leveling up was cool, though!
6) Tea is good. I personally prefer sweet tea, but I drink other kinds with Krastos. I think he appreciates tea more than I do.
7) Get a steady job.
If you’d told me two years ago that Twilight Sparkle was going to become an alicorn, and somehow convinced me you were telling the truth, I’d have been irate. The notion that somepony born into a well-off family, with all the opportunity in the world and little hardship, would be rewarded with such a prestigious gift would have left me frothing at the mouth like a rabid animal.
I’ve watched Twilight for quite some time, wishing I had her life. That I could have been born with such potential. That surely I wouldn’t squander it with pointless study in mundane arts like turning an apple into an orange or growing facial hair.
But after all that I’ve witnessed, I’ve begun to understand that I’m not meant to hold such power. For all the magic at her disposal, Twilight has a level of restraint that can only be matched by an alicorn. Were it me, I would have used it to right every wrong I’d ever witnessed. And I don’t think that would have ended too well.
Information on alicorns are a secret even I’ve never had access to. Maybe nothing’s really changed. Maybe Twilight always had the characteristics of an alicorn, just not the appearance. Maybe the spell she completed was the very spell that transformed her, and required a very specific series of circumstances and relationships. Maybe this isn’t the first time it’s happened, just the first time it’s happened this way.
I’ve digressed a bit, but what I’m trying to get to is that I’m happy for her. I still wish it were me; that I could have been given such a reward for the ordeals I overcame. I can’t help that. But she lived the majority of her life in near isolation and learned more about the magic of friendship in a very brief period of time, than anypony else has in their entire life. And that’s a trial I wouldn’t want to undertake.
So here’s to you, Princess Twilight! You deserve everything you’ve achieved and I can only look forward to what you’ll accomplish next!
Just don’t expect me to call you Princess very often.
It looks very Discord.
And I keep getting messages about Discord being free.
And I’m… kinda freakin’ out?
It’s snowing, raining, and I think I just saw somepony pass by with sunburns. I wouldn’t venture out into that storm if I were you.
The clouds in the sky are patchwork.
I think I’ll stay inside today.
1) Uh… Probably not. Only times I ever watched a video stream of a game for more than a few minutes were the Twitch videos the City of Heroes Devs did. And those were the developers of the game talking about and showing upcoming content while answering questions.
2) What joy? You can’t appreciate the freedom you have because you’ve never lived without. You can’t enjoy good food because you’ve never survived on scraps. You’re incapable of comprehending what a good bed feels like because you’ve never slept on stone. What’s a vacation to somepony who’s never really worked a day in their life?
What privilege? Compared to me you’re barely alive.
3) Only in the sense that you should recognize it and try to control yourselves. Same as everypony else.
4) Isn’t the Crystal Empire a part of Equestria?
5) You are still just trying to get me to say “no,” right? You can’t be serious.
6) Uh… What are you asking?
7) Of course. Once you replace soldiers with automations, be they machines or enchantments, it removes mortality from the battlefield. If citizens no longer need to lay down their lives for a war, the only limiting factor is resources. And if winning means gaining those resources back, why stop fighting? Ever. Why allow peace to limit wealth?
War can certainly change, but not for the better.
1) Having resided in decidedly unpleasant living conditions, I have no interest in immersing myself in an imaginary iteration. If that makes sense.
2) Oh havens no! Wrestling is dangerous!
I like boxing.
3) I was friends with her right here on tumblr.
And I was three out of four of those things myself growing up. Shouldn’t be hard to see how I can relate.
4) … Heh heh…
Heh Heh Heh Heh Heh Heh Heh.
No. That’s silly.
5) No, because that sounds like one of those jokes that violate personal space.
What’s a 1950s? Haha. I love doing that.
6) All Hail The One True Maize!
7) My Eyeballs.
Can’t really do things quick when I answer this stuff in the order I receive it.
1) Wait, what? Carnie? Like Carnival folk? Is that a rampant problem?
2) How about Mumm-Ra-’ve already done this joke.
Could always go back to the tried and true.
3) Not in particular. Doesn’t sound very wholesome.
4) Why would anypony working in erotic videos go by an alias that sounds like or contains their name?
5) I don’t know anything about the comic. I don’t know anything about Persona 4. I don’t know anything about Persona. Heck, I don’t even know anything about SMT outside of Nocturne and the little I played of the MMO. And Nocturne was sort of an alternate dimension deal, so it had little to do with SMT proper.
I was excited at first, but SMT4 doesn’t look interesting to me. I think I might have just liked Nocturne rather than the series.
6) Wouldn’t that be “To make Hell look worse?” Or is this commentary on segregation?
7) Not something I’d advertise. Littlest Pet Shop just means less room to house the animals, which would mean a smaller selection.
1) Oh no you didn’t! Winnie the Pooh is braver than a-a bee! And smarter than a tree! An-and just you wait! In the last Kingdom Hearts game he’s going to be the final companion and he isn’t even going to fight enemies will just fall to their knees and weep in apology and he’ll forgive them because he’s cool like that!
Oh, and you’re stronger than you seem.
2) Okay. That just means you’ll be surprised.
3) You can read whatever you want. Just don’t apply it to me.
4) Spoiled children, rotten though they be, tend to not be that flippant about the life of another. Takes a few years.
5) Well, Lyra Dancer would be interesting. I’d never go by Slow, or anything other than Lyra, though. I’m Lyra and I like being Lyra.
6) I’ll make you a coffin.
7) This is just about the only thing I will never so much as comment on.
Ever.
8) You must really want me to say… neighgatory.
1) Woah woah woah! I said I didn’t do very well. But that was mostly because I rarely had time to do homework. And I didn’t flunk out of anything, thank you very much! I left for personal reasons. I could go back!
2) … Okay. I could have saved you some time on that, what with the horns, wings, abnormal strength, and heightened intelligence.
3) Magic can be used to generate heat. Does that count?
No thank- Nnnnooooo tttthhhhaaaaannnkkkk yyyoooouuuuUUU!
5) Welp.
6) Excuse me? (Caution: rewinding the video leads to explicit language/adult situations)
I know you’re trying to get me to… reply with an antonym to yes, but you’ll have to work for it!
1) Fine. I’ll just drink your milkshake.
2) I might have been willing to share, but you can bite me.
Krastos might tell you what I made him, if you ask.
3) I know. I had aspirations once. Hard to imagine now, huh? Good on you for remembering that, though!
4) Not that I know of. Background checks, I’m sure. Evidence of enough income to pay for the adoptee’s well-being. Maybe a house inspection, just to prove there’s a place for them to stay. I don’t know for sure, though. Was always on the other side of the matter and never really got that far.
5) Likewise, it can be heard to tell that there’s anything about your world that isn’t dark and nightmarish.
But there’s more to a lake than its surface and there’s more to a book than its cover.
6) Uh… huh… Well, going back to your original question, I don’t really have any thoughts on him. Just sounded like some guy that did some stuff. Doesn’t really involve or interest me.
7) I already don’t care for abridged/parody-style works. From the one episode I managed to sit through, the characters are one-dimensional and uninteresting, like pretty much every abridged/parody.
To me, it’s not the destination. It’s not even the journey. It’s who you took the journey with. And if those characters are just engines to tell a joke, then the jokes had better be incredible. They weren’t.
1) Really? Never thought I’d see the day a civilization was so excited at the notion of being effortlessly forced into unconditional surrender.
2) No. You’re misunderstanding the scenario. You don’t get to choose at what point in your life you get placed into my situation. The only way you’d be in my situation is if you were born as me. And if you were born as me you’d have experienced life the same way I did and ultimately become me giving this very explanation.
I know what you meant, though. But-
3) Guess that’s why it’s nothing more than a quote. Means no more than anypony is willing to give it.
4) Oh… kay. You drop nukes on yourself because they live where you live everywhere on your planet. Great job, commander.
Ponies and griffons don’t get along as groups, but individuals are individuals. We’re permitted to behave however we feel. And Gilda’s really the one putting herself out there by surrounding herself with ponies. She’s really very patient.
5) Well, I like Garfield Minus Garfield. But I like Family Circus more than regular Garfield. But the few times Garfield would go on some sort of atypical adventure, he and Odie could be revealed as fairly intricate characters worthy of empathy. But those were so few and usually pinned by other authors.
It’s way more complicated than it has any business being.
6) This is me acknowledging that I received the message but am not commenting on it because you deliberately did nothing more than reiterate your already argued point. Don’t expect me to give you the same privilege again.
1) Person, place or thing?
2) Well, I had a nanny for at least part of that time. Or so I’m told. Don’t remember much from when I was that young. Pony/human development doesn’t really sync up time-wise.
3) Just looks like photo manipulation with text thrown on.
Although, you had me rollin’ at Ladylike Fruit Snacks.
Oh my! It’s nightmare night-themed axe-murderer angel food cake!
Or how about some neurosurgery corn-on-the-cob?
4) No. Nope. Not at all.
5) Aren’t those folk legends of sheep origin?
Well, I’m glad my hasty [omitted]-uppery could be of assistance, sticky-buns.
Fixed by the way.
1) And who does get to make that decision? You, who weren’t even present? Get a real stance or expect to be left unanswered. As one can imagine, I don’t care for the subject.
2) Walked right into that one, didn’t I?
3) Probably not, as I don’t care for the source material and I typically listen to the source around fifty times during the process of recording. Plus, it’s missing the notes for the lyrics, rendering it incomplete. But my disposition can change with the breeze; I’ll hold onto it.
Also, what the [omitted] tempo is “deceptively happy?” Is there a swing to that?
4) No you wouldn’t. If you were in my position you’d be right where I am. Because you’d be me.
Do feel the need to remind my followers that mental asylums aren’t really around even in your world anymore. Patients that require continuous monitoring and care, both mentally and physically, typically live in a specialized wing in hospitals, if not with family.
5) Who? I mean, I recognize the name. I’ve heard it before, but…
6) Okay… When I do a search on Circle Family I get links back related to healthcare. And wouldn’t Lasagna Cat just be Garfield?
7) Griffons are rare in Equestria because they don’t like us. From your perspective, think about if the majority of chickens in your world became sentient, fought back, and raised their own country. To griffons, the staple of their diet was suddenly (at least from a historical standpoint) crippled. In all the time that’s passed since our ascension, they still haven’t recovered.
1) Hey! Hey!
[Omitted] you. You weren’t there. I decide what happened.
2) I wouldn’t even dignify such a comment with an argument, as that would acknowledge the position as a valid stance rather than the nonsensical ramblings it is.
3) Judging from this page, no. Not even remotely.
4) Because humans aren’t that strong. There might be a rule against it, too; I dunno.
5) It’s alright. Sort of a running gag at this point. And at least you called me patient.
6) Because I’d cry.
After droppin’ you like a sandbag.
7) Act your age.
1) No. And neither is this, but at least it’s funny (Warning: Strong Language).
2) Aw. It used to be Vega, so I’ll count that! I like Dudley, though. Not that I’m any good at Street Fighter.
3) I might lose my cool.
4) Nah. It’s a scam. That candy isn’t free. There are hidden fees. Foals! Ask your parents about hidden fees! And parents! It’s never too early to sit your foal down and explain hidden fees! They are a dangerous, but naturally occurring part of our economy!
5) Nothing but good vibes as far as I can tell! Great track!
6) Of course! Was there ever any doubt?
7) Is it just me, or are colt bands more… forward than they used to be?
1) Well I don’t want you to cram. I’d rather you be at ease when I see you than shell-shocked. Great news about those days off, though!
2) She knew. I don’t know how long she knew, but long before I ever got wrapped up in things. As for when, that’s actually easy to trace. When she closed the borders between us and the griffon nation it cut both ends of the supply-line. Nothing to gain on either side anymore, so the gangs starved.
3) The origins of the phrase are funnier yet, if you consider how anypony could ever use it seriously.
4) Of course not. You didn’t choose your life anymore than I did. You haven’t squandered opportunity anymore than I have. Those opportunities and their potential outcomes may have a difference of night and day, but you can’t control that anymore than the next pony. Live your life. Do with it as you wish, so long as you harm nopony but yourself. But if you live with regret or hate, you’ve nopony but yourself to blame.
5) No no. CUE certainly had an impact on my life, but B was never that involved. He was around, but he had different tasks to attend to. He’s just a friend.
6) Looks like somepony needs a reminder.
Turned out to be a good game! Little disappointed at that last call. It looked like holding to me. But that was pretty good! 49ers almost made it back! And they had a tremendous recovery either way! From 22 down to 3! And they closed that gap in half a quarter!
Good game!
Okay, when the offense has the ball they pass it to the quarterback who either passes it to somepony else (who is considered a receiver) or runs it themselves. The goal of the offense is to get the ball, in somepony’s hooves, in the opponent’s end zone (Touchdown). Which side of the field they head towards switches after halftime. That’s the brightly colored part at either side of the field with the goal posts.
They only have four chances to do it every 10 yards, though. If they fail to either get those 10 yards or make the goal, then wherever the ball is, the defense becomes the offense and it’s their turn to drive the ball to the opposite side of the field. That’s why you see punts or field goals on 4th down; it’s the offense’s last chance to either get a point from their drive (Field Goal) or put some more distance between the ball and their own goal (Punt).
Defense just tries to stop the offense. Defense can’t hit a receiver while they’re trying to catch the ball (that’s pass interference), but they can hit the ball, tackle somepony on the ground with the ball, sack the quarterback (just means to tackle them before they throw or run), or catch the ball themselves (Interception).
A single touchdown is 6 points. After a touchdown the offense has one last play to either make another touchdown or take a field goal (kick the ball between the goal posts). A follow up field goal is an additional 1 (total 7) while a follow up touchdown (Two-Point Conversion) is an additional 2 (total 8). A stand alone field goal is 3. Once the stand alone field goal or touchdown follow up is over, the defense gets the ball (via a punt) and becomes the offense.
That’s the basic jest of it!
I’d have never believed it after that first half and that kick-off return. But way to bring it back! Especially so fast!
Wow. Game’s a lot more enjoyable when you aren’t rooting for either side.
