"Condemn me not for my imperfection, neither my father, because of his imperfection, neither them who have written before him; but rather give thanks unto God that he hath made manifest unto you our imperfections, that ye may learn to be more wise than we have been."
Mormon 9:31

I've been working on this game for years now, and I think I've finally gotten all the bugs worked out. The story of the game follows the main character, a human, as he guides the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic character, Pinkie Pie, through her life in Equestria, either to destruction through a variation of Sargent Sprinkles' story Cupcakes, which will lead to her eventual execution, or through a retelling of the cannon story to her progress away from such a destructive course, and towards a more constructive, more lengthy route.

In this first playthrough of the game, I'll choose a course of failure, as indicated by the title of this volume. In the next volume I'll choose a course of success.

This is one of the rare games of the communication genre, also known as “talkie games.” As the name of the genre indicates, the gamer, in this case me, will talk with the characters in the game, and they will answer me. To make the game world more real, there will be characters that'll talk to me, or my character, before I talk to them, giving me the opportunity to respond to them.

Being a variation of the Cupcakes story, it won't follow it exactly; there will be differences, particularly based on the gamer that plays it. The location of Pinkie Pie's pony and griffon processing will be different from Sargent Sprinkles' story. Since I'm the one telling the story, there will be far fewer victims before Rainbow Dash, and none after her. And, Pinkie Pie will face consequences for her actions.

For my own purposes, I will also include excerpts from the Book of Mormon. This will not be for monetary purposes, but for the benefit of the characters in the story, as well as to convey my own testimony of that ancient, spiritual record.

Because this playthrough will lead to Pinkie Pie's destruction, the story shouldn't cover too much more than a week in and around Ponyville, leading to the possibility of many side quests being minimized. And, because of this, there won't likely be very much following of episodes of the story in the game. I'll demonstrate in the course of success I take that episodes of the series will play an important role in this game. But, for the purposes of this story, only the episode “Griffon the Brush-Off” will play an important role, as a demonstration of Pinkie Pie being set on her course of destruction.

Now, don't think, because I intend to lose this game, and have the pink party pony killed, that I hate Pinkie Pie. Let me assure you that the exact opposite is the case. I intend to lose this first game to add value to when I win the next time I play. But, I also intend to show that if an earth pony can do something as evil as what Pinkie Pie does to characters in this story, an earth pony may also be capable of good works equally close to what humans are capable of.

One more thing: I plan to show Pinkie Pie's importance in the story as she chooses her destructive course. This'll mean damage control, a lot of damage control, as the story passes Pinkie Pie's last crime, and leads to her final execution. And believe me, there will be a lot of damage control toward the end. But, the last chapter will simply be closing scenes leading to the execution.

So, with no further ado, let's begin.
