After a computer scientist makes a communication game based on the My Little Pony Friendship is Magic animated series, he does a couple test plays for quality control, as well as to demonstrate features of the game. His objective is first to show what events can cause a gamer to lose the game, then to show what events can cause a gamer to win the game.
The objective of the game is to help the main object character, Pinkie Pie, at the least, avoid a course that would lead to her being executed, and at best show how good an earth pony can be.
In this first playthrough, the programmer intentionally loses the game to show how Pinkie Pie choosing a course of destruction affects her friends. Along the way, he will find that he needs to minimize the amount of damage done.
By the way, yes, this is my take on the Cupcakes fan fic. There are events leading up to Pinkie Pie killing Rainbow Dash. The event itself is my own version of it, based on the environment. Ultimately, there are consequences that Pinkie Pie must face. And, there is less of a body count in this story than in the one told by Sargent Sprinkles.
There are ways to win at the communications video game called "Hey, Batter." This isn't one of them.
If she could fall that far, how far can she rise?
