tbh though, it is dashes fault for cloudsdale being destroyed and all because she misinterpreted his riddle.

Wait what? How did Dash misinterpret his riddle? It seemed pretty straight forward to me. Stay here and let home crumble. Or leave and abandon your friends.

Also, didn't Ajay's method of solving the parasprite epidemic lead to an infestation somewhere else?

Riddles are riddles for a reason. Sometimes the straightforward answer isn't the intended answer.

Although that was what Discord predicted to be the answer.

Dash left because she was hypnotised by Discord, there was absolutely no way for her to not leave the group like that.

listen to the riddle again

"A weighty choice is yours to make.
The right selection or a big mistake.
If a wrong choice you choose to pursue,
The foundations of home will crumble without you."

never once does he say cloudsdale is being destroyed right now, nor is leaving the best choice, she misinterpreted it (he was also misleading her by showing an image of what happens should she make the wrong choice but whatever). by leaving (the wrong choice), not only is she not there (without you), but she lost the game for everyone, allowing the "foundations of home to (will) crumble"

NO WHERE did he say Cloudsdale was going to fall, he said if she made the wrong decision she would fail.
She should've known that taking the wings was against the rule and that he was tricking her.

Mc Nugget and I in that the same thinking <3

But what if Cloudsdale is falling? Is there some proof that it isn't?

As in, what if something is really happening in cloudsdale (there was a cola storm going right?), and she chose to stay? Basically, getting stuck between loyalties. Wouldn't either choice satisfy the riddle?

No, he showed her Cloudsdale being destroyed and after that, she was hypnotized. It happened as it was shown, that was the trigger.

Then he offered her the wings and before she reacted to that, took the element of Loyalty.

If so, she still broke the rules, thus the remaining manes being unable to court their own elements.

Still lost them the game.

Discord just showed Dashie how Cloudsdale is crumbling away. No hypnosis needed when you can make stuff appear out of thin air or a cloud that resembles her cutie mark.

Also, here's a prediction. Dash won't initially lose her element because she was loyal to Cloudsdale. Once Dash finds out the Cloudsdale thing was an illusion and that she's the one that cost the mane cast the game she'll lose her element out of guilt.

EDIT: http://youtu.be/eR_XehGlyf4?t=20m12s / Hypnotized

Ok, but say home really was/is crumbling. She stays, it falls. She leaves, it still falls if she can't make it in time. Wouldn't either choice make it fall?

***** is still dumb.
And when he said "home will crumble" he was talking about if she made the wrong decision, getting her wings and leaving the game, then they would not get the elements and all of Equestria would crumble.


Anyways, I leave with conversation with "Stay free Celestia."

Twilight had already lost magic (horn), all that she has left is friends. Could break from there.

Also, Applejack a little to trusting, the apple ploy of Discord saying that their friendship is over-- Just a little to trusting of the situation though.

Okay but look at it like Rainbow Dash. She CLEARLY doesn't think things through. You see something like that happening, you get confused. I mean, Discord shows up and says he's gonna destroy everywhere you live unless you go back to save it, then gives you the means to do so. In her confusion she got hypnotized and from there, it's done.
