On Being A Good Little Pony - A Guide For New S.L.U.T.s.

 

Welcome to The Company. We are sure that you will enjoy your life as a Skyrim Licenced Universal Transport girl. This book contains a few simple rules to help you have the best possible time as you help Our Company grow and prosper. We just know that you will be anxious and eager to help!

 

Customer Satisfaction

 

As a S.L.U.T. girl your first and constant care is customer satisfaction. A happy customer is a repeat customer, and repeat customers pay all of our wages!

 

Remember! Nothing is too much trouble for one of our Ponies if it means putting a smile on the face of a customer!

 

Goods And Equipment

 

Our customers care about they goods they entrust to our keeping. As such it is every S.L.U.T.'s responsibility to see, not only that their packages get where the customer wants them to go, but also that they emerge from the process in absolute tip-top condition! As a Good Little Pony, we just know that you are going to give this your absolute best efforts, and that as a result we will seldom, if ever, be forced to dock your wages to pay for damages and pilfering.

 

Of course, it isn't just the customer's goods that need looking after! It is essential that company vehicles remain in tip-top condition, and it is your responsibility to look after your cart while you are In Service. Oh, isn't this all so exciting!

 

Tack And Livery

 

All of our Ponies are issued with a full compliment of Tack and Harness when they venture out into the field. We are sure you appreciate how vitally important it is that these continue to be worn at all times while you are In Service.

 

After all, you DO want to look your best for our customers, don't you?

 

Attitude

 

A Good Little Pony is cheerful, compliant and eager to please. Nothing makes such a good impression as an alert posture, a bright smile and a willingness to go that extra mile if that's what it takes to get a good Customer Review.

 

We have faith in our Ponies and we just know that you are going to bring an awful lot of pleasure into the lives of our customers!

 

Promptness

 

Our customers want what they've paid for and they want it right away. As a Good Little Pony, it is your job to see that they get it: where they
want it, when they want it, and however they want it.

 

Remember: The Customer Is Always Right!

 

Recompense

 

At S.L.U.T.S., we belive in Good Pay For Hard Work. For each delivery run, you can expect to be paid an amount equal to one third the value of your cargo. Isn't that generous! And the more valuable the cargo, the more you get paid.

 

Of course, high valued cargoes are only available to Ponies who have proven themsevles to be reliable and helpful, but as a Good Little Pony, we feel sure that you will soon be earning Top Septim!

 

Insubordination

 

From time to time, every Pony needs a touch of discipline in her life to remind her of her duties. Even Good Little Ponies can have Bad Days, and backchat, insubordination and even violence are sadly not unknown.

 

When these things happens, it is our sad duty to supply firm correction. Most commonly this is by means of deductions to a Pony's pay, but for serious infractions, corporal punishment may also be administered.

 

At The Company, we prefer The Carrot to The Stick, and we are sure that soon, you will too! So be the Best Little Pony that you can, and you never need worry about these horrible, horrible things.

 

Arrears

 

Occasionally, a Pony may find herself with more deductions that she has earned from a particular run. As Pony that owes money to The Company, we know you will be eager to make up any shortfall. In these circumstances, your Handler will be only too happy to find you additional loads to haul until matters are set to rights.

 

This is unlikely to affect Ponies that keep in mind the rules of this handbook, but if it does, rest assured The Company will undertake to take care of a Pony's needs in the event that she be kept In Service for an extended period.

 

In Conclusion

 

As a Good Little Pony, you are bright, enthusiastic and willing to please, always willing to put the customer first and do everything in your power to take care of his goods. We just know that you're going to have a lot of fun, and that your time with us will be long and oh, so fulfilling!

 

Now put a smile on your face, and go out and make someone happy!

"be the Best Little Pony that you can, and you never need worry about these horrible, horrible things."

 

I laugh. :) And as a good pony I never missbehave... Almost.

Anyone interested in helping out with a few screenshots? I want some more illustrations for the in-game book.

 

What I do is I set up the screenshot, then run it through a gimp filter to make it look like a pen-and-ink drawing. Then I add captions and so on. The trouble is that setting up the shots can be time consuming, and I really ought to be coding rather than screenshotting.

 

I can post the list of illustrations I want. If someone wants to contribute the base screenshots, that would save a lot of time. It would be good to get some variety among the Ponies as well.

Sure thing doc, I got plenty of time. 

Just let me know what kind of screenshots you need.

OK, cool :)

 

Some of these need assets I've not released yet. I'll see about that tomorrow with a bit of luck. (This week has just been mad).

 

Frontspiece: A pony pulling a cart past an applauding crowd of whiterun citizens

Caption: "~ A Good Little Pony Is Admired By All ~"

 

1: Pony in tack except for yoke, holding tray with drinks while wealthy customer sprawls in his chair, Jarl-style. He is drinking ale. (If the jarl idle allows)

Title: "~ A Helpful Pony ~"

 

2 Dirty Pony in Harness

Title: ~ And Remember To Look After Yourself! ~

Caption: Only You Can Make A Good First Impression!

 

 

3 close up on body showing:

1) Bridle

2) Tack (arms and legs)

2) Harness (collar)

3) Pony Boots

4) Stylish Gloves

5) Livery

Caption: A Smart Pony!

 

4 Pony running uphil persued by bandits and wolves. Valtheim Towers area, maybe.

Pony framed against sky. Maybe pick up a giant from Guldur Rock.

Caption: "Cultivate A Can-Do Attitude!"

 

 

5 Stabled Pony surrounded by big bags of gold; inset payslip showing 1500 septims earned

Caption: A Hard-Working Pony Takes A Well Earned Rest!

 

6 [illo]

Pony chained to cart, driver standing to the side

Title: "This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you..."

Caption: Your handler will help you maintain a respectful attitude.

 

 

7 Split screen shot of pony rear end and a payslip showing heavy deductions

1) A Rear. (Good)

2) Arrears. (Bad)

Title: ~ Know The Difference! ~

 

8 Pony kneels, back to the viewer. Wealthy customer stands in front of her

his crotch obscured by her head

Title: ~ Going That Extra Mile ~

Caption: "Is there anything else I can help you with, sir?"

 

I think I have the first one covered, but if you can get a scene with an applauding crowd, I'll use it.

If you want to try your hand at the conversions, it's basically

 

* open screeny in gimp

* go to script-fu menu and choose artist->inkpen drawing (needs gimp extensions package)

* color->color to alpha to turn the white parts transparent

 

But the main thing is the screenshots.

 

Cheers, Windu!

Done!

I made all the screenshots, Though with '3 A smart pony' I wasn't sure wether you wanted a picture of a fully dressed up pony with all the devices visible, or a close up of every individual device... so I did both. 

 

I also tried editing them though I'm not sure I was succesful. I included both the edited and unedited versions of the screenshots so you can choose for yourself.

Edit: Apparantly MEGA needs a decoding key these days, how stupid..

Ugh MEGA has been a pain in the ass lately. One problem after another. 

Last time I use it that's for sure. 

 

Looking for another method to send it, maybe imgur.

Got them through mega in the end. But then my wife called "dinner!" and I've not been back to the keyboard till now.

Well I hope the screenshots are good enough :)

brilliant! I wholeheartedly approve of your interpretation of "A Smart Pony". Not what I'd visualized, but it captures the message I wanted to convey far better :D

 

"Know the difference" works really well as well.

 

Most of the others, the screenies should work with a bit of coercion. It's difficult to set up a show where that filter works well, I know.

 

But that's two for definite and more if I can get the setting right. Good work!

Seems like forever since I had a chance to work on this.

 

This is what I meant when I said there were some assets yet to be released. Like the set of restraining rings mounted on the cart :)

 

I took the ZAP xcross, deleted the wooden X and added a couple of stakes for the ankle cuffs.

I had to jump through a couple of hoops to get the moon to render properly, but I think it was worth it :)

This one sized to appear in the book :)

Just another image.

The subtext I'm trying for is somewhere beteween "what is he doing with his other hand?" and "is she getting up or sitting down?"

 

I'm not sure how well that carries over, but I like the shot, so I'll go with it :)

I am having to work very hard not to caption this one as This! Is! Sparta!

Or possibly This! Is! Skyrim!

The two pass approach seems to work best. Do a dark one and a light one on top, set the layer mode to lighten only and then up the layer transparency until it looks about right. I tried a bunch of other stuff as well, but that seems to work best in most cases.

I already posted this earlier but it was lost in the rollback so I'm not sure if you've seen it. 

How's the book coming along? I would love to read it :D
