5059861 ........ could they use cloud?
I'm still waiting on sentinel meeting diamond tiara
5060121 Possible. If they manufactured the hull to take a lining of condensed clouds it would help to make the ship more airborne. Then the rotors and stuff would have to be powered in much the same way that Pinkie powers her helicopter. Throw a couple of featherweight enchants on the main body and the thing might just be sky worthy. Although Luna did say that they had engines when she talked about giving Bucky back his airship. Something like thrusters or something being fitted on to the ship so that it was in line with all the other airships in Equestria's navy. I presume the rotors could potentially be powered by an adapted version of the thruster thingies used on the airships Maybe?
I do have to say sorry for enjoying this story a great deal but not pointing out typos and such even though I could point out almost all of the remaining ones all over the chapters. Please forgive me on this as I've got no actual computer access to use for quick and easy helping on the issue. I do love your stories though and when I get a computer of my own I would happily go through and find them again if wanted.
Not really a typo, but;
It could be reduced to "She saw Loch Skimmer and her sister Ripple. Redundancy is an old issue of mine, but I'm slowly picking up on it, be it my redundancies or others.
My apologies if I offend.
Bucky doesn't take any shit. He has had en effect on Sparkler in this way, which is good.
...and now I have an image of the train of food being a flipped around version of Firefly; The Train Job.
Redundant statement. She saw Loch Skimmer and her sister Ripple.
Sounds like my mom.
Another redundant statement. Bucky smiled smugly.
5060212 Ha! I was thinking the same thing!
5060212 You too ? I remember that episode when they stole medicine from a train, and then they discover the city needs the medicine, and the militar would not bring more, and they decide to get the medicine back to the people...a miss Firefly a lot....
Welcome to the political life, Bucky!
It's a personal sort of hell...
Hmm, nice subtle threat at the end there.

Sparkler: I'm made of stone and I don't take no meadow muffins from nopony! Now break it up!
**chair smashes over head**
Fine. We do it your way!

Wasn't really intended as a threat. More of a statement of what he is.
I think you secretly leave typos just to amuse us.
5058328 That's what i thought, for all we know Fluttershy could be having a funeral for one of her birds.
A police force really is a sensitive subject. Here we've got the Royal Guard, who until the civil war were practically paramilitary/police rather than real and active military to begin with, who've laid down their lives for the crown AND the loyal citizens of Equestria. Then they get told "we're building a paramilitary force to protect the people your friends have died to protect from you". I imagine that's going to cause some unrest amongst the Guard and alienate them to a degree - no matter what the reason, that would feel like being told "Thanks for protecting me and nearly losing your life for me but I don't trust you so you can go now." If the only real incident so far is a guy getting his arm broken for stealing turnips, I can't really see the outcry here. If the owner of the turnips had caught him, it'd be the same or worse, and justified. Have to protect your own from thieves. What would the police even do differently? The hungrier people get, the more murderous they become because survival is the #1 rule. Cop just telling you to stop won't just suddenly make you stop. Violence will be required.
So what happens when the police come under attack? Back to breaking bones to gain submission, the same as that guard did? If someone's willing to steal food, they're most likely willing to kill for it - or at best, nearly at that point but haven't crossed that line quite yet. Maybe stunning spells, but then you have a force of unicorns patrolling the cities and towns and no one wants to see that right now. Then it's a matter of balancing numbers. If the force gets too big or too powerful, then the desperate start banding together and getting smarter, and start getting weapons. Street violence escalation. And what would be more important to such a police force - the letter of the law/current political stand-in for laws, or ethics? The former is why we have so many corrupt cops in today's world (well, one of the reasons) and the latter has never actually existed before, really.

The bigger cities had police departments before the collapse. Ponyville never did. Wasn't big enough and crime was never a problem.
A big part of self rule is self policing. Showing the big mother alicorn that you can make yourself behave is kinda important right now.
The stuff that Sparkler was reading about the duties of an officer? I've been reading old officers field manuals and such online and that really was one of the duties listed in our own human history, in particular in the excerpts from the old French field manual I went poking my nose into months ago when I was researching this part. A captain was to protect the citizens from his soldiery when acting as a means to pacify the populace. If the citizens were injured or killed unnecessarily, the soldiers were not always punished, but the caption might be for his failure. Which is why captains carried extra pistols. To shoot the unruly soldier who does not follow commands.
These are all central themes and major issues when undergoing reconstruction and reunification after a collapse or a civil war and the commission of a standing body of law is considered one of the major signs of recovery.
Failure to get a working body of law going indicates the anarchy will continue for quite some time and we see evidence of this from other failed states in real human history.
SOO many typos.
That I did not see. Huh. Maybe they're the invisible kind!
233 chapters.... I think when i started this story it had around 50. Then things got out of hand and i thought i'd never catch up.
Not that it's a bad thing, as i highly enjoyed this chase. I was drawn in by the humor, mystified but intrigued by the differing POV's on various situations, and then captivated by action, drama and lore. This story has grabbed my attention and this story has made me feel.
For instance, when Berry declared war and assaulted Bucky's Mother i felt sympathy on the rich dame, thinking the Earth Pony had taken things too far. Then, when i found out what said Mother had done to her young son I felt the exact opposite.
The pain and anguish. The love and sacrifice. The innuendo! This is by far one of the best sagas i've read in life and fully intend to enjoy the ride to the end.
Most Excellent!
Said was said twice.
Score one for Bucky! He maybe thick as a brick sometimes, but when he gets you he nails you hook, line and sinker.
The only thing I would add to this chapter is Twilight remarking that the butter on her scone was especially delish and not being about to put her hoof down on why. . .
5435207
I don't think they've gotten around to making pony milk butter yet.
Heehehehe, I love how Sparkler is, she's so cool. :D hahaha, nice job man, nice job!
Slowly catching up... kind of... maybe... ehhe.
Good show.

Because everything's butter with ponies. There's no whey I'm gonna not churn out all the related puns now. I'll probably get creamed for doing so, but that's the price of this terrible curds. I should probably stop milking this, before some else starts making puns...
7388510 My face fell in on itself.
7388510
You should tell anyone who complains about the puns to stop having a cow

It's fine, as long as you don't rennet into the ground.
he still hasnt given a single coherent reason why he wont just accept the prince title. the alicorn thing i understand, that whole situation is fucked up as hell. but the pince thing is just him acting like a whiny child for no reason. even if he doesnt like it he doesnt have to be such a little bitch baby about it.
