Ideas for news headlines

[ErikMcClure]

If you have any ideas for amusing news headlines, post them here (you can also make a pull request). There are 3 different kinds of news headlines: smile-specific ones that appear in a given range of smiles, general ones that appear after 10000 smiles, and muffin specific ones that appear after 10 muffins.

Can headlines include embedded links? You should totally do plot summaries of MLP fanfics (those you've written, or those you liked), and link the story! e.g.

News: Twilight Sparkle hospitalized after grammar lesson! Cheerilee plans lesson on the dangers of punctuation puns. (Source)

Oh, that's a good idea. I don't sanitize the news strings, so you could embed any kind of HTML in them. I'll have to write up plot summeries of my favorite fanfics now...

Eg. Hard Reset: "Princess Twilight claims to be stuck in time loop. Again."

(Edit: Something something weather vanes.)

On that note, news items could be pushed for achievements.

The news feed appearances can depends on the amount of a certain "building". If you have 50 Galas, news feed can say "Celestia and Pinkie welcomes all the the 50th Grand Galloping Gala!" So something like that.

Hi, should I just be writing suggestions here, or is it okay if I just issue the as pull requests? (After proper testing?)

[ErikMcClure]

Either is fine. This thread is primarily for people who are unfamiliar with the code and don't want to dig through it. If you want to issue a pull request instead, great, that's less work for me.
