Zwill has posted ponies before, I believe. Then again, he's a fountain of internet memes, so that ponies are there can go either way.

Oh, who was it that brought the MLP to the pummit?
One of the marketing types I think...
(It was a prop for a bad joke, but he had the thing.)
Orc&Pie No.53230 There is an orc, and somehow, he got a pie. And you are hungry.

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
I really don't see ponies themselves being a meme as much memes dirivated from ponies. But considering the fanbase got started in the very source of many memes: /b/ I can't really argue against that point.
It was in a poster in the movie theather.

But I would really like a single, long, 'third eye' placed horn myself. I mean how am I going to make my Eva Unit 01 or Lazengann homage costume without it?
Also: this really should be Dink's thread.

My Little Pony is also a meme. It's also a pretty fun cartoon series, but there are so many meme images, variations of meme images, and crossovers that may or may not be sane. And fan music, of course.
Come to think of it, are there City of Heroes ponies anywhere? I'd assume there would be a Statespony for sure.

Amusing pun to say the least.
Beastyle was the only one.

Well I hope I get in the next google+ hangout then. I can ask there.
I am not a Brony.
I post meme's of MLP that I find amusing, and have relented to allowing my 5 year old sons to watching the show on Netflix, however that's the extent of it.
Black Scorpion is about as close as it comes, however he's working on another project now.

So who was it that put the poster there though?

Paragon Studios is currently working on a "next gen MMO" with a "brand new IP" - and it's all very secret right now

My guess was that they were submissions for that movie poster contest they had a while back and that one made a decent 'kids movie' poster.|

Also Wildstar is being made by another company that's also under NCsoft; Paragon Studios is working on a second game at the moment that's apparently separate from that.

Awww, look. It's Widowshy. I'll now read Ghost Widow's lines in Fluttershy's voice. That could either work really well, or completely rob Ghost Widow of any and all dignity she has left. |

I think I'm leaning towards "works a bit too well, actually."

The poster was designed by a player and we chose it because it gave us all a chuckle in the meeting where we were selecting the winners.

I'm far from an expert, but I have to second the Giant Mosquito's City of Ponies stuff. |

He's made quite a few mash ups of Ponies and player created characters.
Check out his DA galleries and prepare to laugh at his Silver Manetis comic strip (which is a mash up meets slash fic.....a slash up?):

OK. So. The good folks we've lost to the other project so far (at least the ones I know of).
Second Measure
The Television
Tunnel Rat
Hero 1
Black Scorpion
Noble Savage
So can/will you tell us if there are any others not on that list that are on the other project?
Does anyone else know of someone I inadvertently left off the list? If so, please post corrections to my list.
I'm suspecting Ghost Falcon may be on the other project as well, but only have suspicions about that.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
