You were also a vote I never felt great on, but it feels like the early game is all about dealing with the quieter ponies. You had the unfortunately circumstance of being paired up with Maud, and ended up pursuing the same wagon she died on. In another lifetime we could have been friends, but this was around the time I was trying to solidify my position with Fluttershy, Soarin, and Rainbowdash. I look forward to meeting you in the post game, though! You seemed fun early on.
