Yes. Yes, that is totally accurate to how the Overlord runs things.
I actually believe that flim and flam started out with great inventions but slowly started losing hope because ponies as a whole tend to either be hicks or uppercrusts who would never use something the princesses aren't using so they finally decided to half ass it and make crap. Also as a side note granny smith decided to make a bet even thow from her face you could tell that machine made great cider but instead of trying to haggle their deal she decided that the old ways were better which they weren't.
for some reason I read this in applejack's voice. probably the "cus"

My god he has to get that licence renewed every year? for someone immortal (lichdom) that's even worse he could literally spend hundreds of years in that office over the years.
also here's to hoping flim and flam help the overlord directly they already made a car train hybrid so there human tech probably wouldn't be that hard to imitate.
8480897
but you forget , once he has his lisence he can send in a zombie or some other undead to do the paperwork
Changeling diamond Dog is a member of the inventors guild. But, does he want Flim and Flam for the Overlord, or a third party overthrow group who wants to make sure they are totally OP before taking the Overlord to be their puppet, once more?
At least the pollen was only acidic. If it had been the equivalent of atomised cobra venom, coupled with sun dew style slime, then the cilia vine ball would have a very rapid method of nutrient assimilation to go with its rapid movement abiliites. Now if it made use of termites cellulose digesting enzymes as well, it would be like a MacroSlug in the Everfree, dissolving and absorbing everything in its path. given grasses have high silica content and theres biological systems evolved to dissolve that stuff, it could even strip the surface down to the bedrock and leave traces in that, trading speed of nutrient absorption for solar energy?
Wow. I really shouldnt have thought of having a coffee.
The trick with FlimFlam inventions, is grabbing them as soon as they are shown to work, but before the brothers have started GlimGlam procfedures for sales pitch?
wants
Dafuq is Blueblood doing in Ponyville?....
This is my favorite story, thus far...

Excessive bureaucracy? Overlord Nobody truly is evil.
What the police are actually effectively instituting laws? Overlord Nobody is a EVIL DICTATOR!

zombies tend to not be talkative also have you ever done paperwork for someone else it's usually not allowed.

Now I'm totally going to have to have Nobody taunt Celestia about how much more effective his guards are then hers, all because you made me think of it.
8481751
Looking forward to it

The only ponies of the main six i thing had any chance of not getting caught are Fluttershy do toher being away from center of ponieville , being surrounded by wild animals, and being close to the everfree forest, and Pinkie Pie....becuase pinkie logic
There is something Wrong with this...

There would be in a breath was taken at the but, however this is meant to be a run on sentence in order to show the panic in the speaker's voice.

That's actually something that I thought the writers forgot about. While it's true that they were willing to "cheat" and overextended themselves, they were at most braggart salesmen with the goods and the talent to back up their showmanship. Frankly, I like to think that the whole cider incident ruined their reputation and caused them to become full on conmen. I mean, they were clearly competent, even in later appearances, but they were only made into legit con men after their second appearance.

They made a great invention and while it's true that they were greedy they were kinda in the right to sell cider when applejack's family ran out.
also
2:00 she kinda just assumed that they made the cider from her apples without proof, there are other apple farms and even if it was hers she had no reason to believe they stole the apples, if they just bought them from Filthy Rich (I assume his shop sells apples supplied by applejack I mean with the amount of trees they have there's no way that the small stand they have sells all of them.) or some other store then legally she has no right to stop him and technically she stole what I can only assume is several hundred bits worth of cider in front of a large crowd.
WAIT I just realized they never actually bet the farm they bet the right to sell cider in the town. that kinda weird considering I've seen fanfics, videos, and even fights dedicated to the fact they almost took the farm.
8497788 Were you talking about the Apples when flim said " borderline coerce a land deed or two?" because that isn't what happened.(read the above)
8507362
Oh, I'm not disagreeing with you. Quite the contrary, really.
If anything, I'm saying that their characterization after their initial appearance is actually something of a plot hole. In my headcanon, that's how I explain two overeager but competent engineers/salesmen turning into full on conmen.
8508616
I didn't think you were disagreeing with me I was trying to add to the argument and in the middle of writing the comment I looked up the episode to see if I missed anything and I kinda went on a tangent when I realized that they actually didn't bet the farm. thou seriously every video' fic' and argument' people makes it sound like they bet the farm instead of selling rights.
The moment you start a bereaucracy as that you dictate, is the moment you've truly become an Evil Overlord...
Update?
8561269
I'm trying, just having a hard time actually writing. Damn writers block.

Ah ok
I was off-put by the random tag but it isn't what I feared it was. love to read Overlord stories, he is op but in the fun way where you want to read more
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcRjLHNAcj4
hoping to get a scene like this
i just have this in my head
vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/overlord/images/4/48/Overlord_corruption_copy.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110628032554
oh so that's the corruption your talking about, I thought you made it up for this story.
I never saw this because I found the evil in the first overlord as leftovers. I want to crush the innocent, purge the weak, and cause misery, but if the people are not innocent? if they are fighting in hard times? if they are already miserable?!
I will not take someone's leftovers, I will build them up, I will give them hope, I will give them strength.
then and ONLY then will I beat them down. the evil in the first game is like taking candy from a baby, there is no real joy in it.
I will not kill the slaves, I will let them foster and become a grand kingdom with hopes and dreams, and then I will crush those dreams.
what is the fun of beating a dead horse?
so yeah i did all the good options hoping that when the kingdom was restored then I would enact vengeance........although I initially spared the village when they betrayed me....as I was leaving this ONE villager called me a coward or something, the words where lost in my blood-lust, anyway he was the only reason I killed the entire village.
by the way, i am hoping you don't make Gnarl betray the overlord, he is the most loyal Minion of them all, he just acts out like a friend would when you've known them for a long time
so is he going to be one of those (the timeline must be protected, everything has to play out as it did in the show) or is he more (the ponies are the protagonists so I can't touch them....but everyone else is fair game)
I think one of the few issues I have with this story is that a bit more time could be put into describing the setting and actions as well as more character moments that give us greater insight into this version of the characters so we can get a better feeling of how this set of events affect things.
This is a very good story so far an I can't wait to see more!

need more but no more.
I love this story so much, Blueblood ironically is always my favorite character in a lot of stories can’t wait to see what happens

Agreed
I don't wish to be rude but may I ask how your writers block is going?
8826447
I've got like 1,800 word's on the next chapter, but it's still not done yet... would be awkward to post right now.
Haven't read this in a while, though I must say that the extremely hard punishments might be a disadvantage. Death penalties don't help to keep the crime rate low as can be seen with countries which have such a penalty. Crime seems to be even higher in countries with such a punishment. Makes me wonder just why the Overlord has it. To keep up evil appearances? Still strange. Trade laws are lax, other laws are going to the utmost extreme.
Also that changeling necromancer bit was cute!
This randomly came up my head during the Flim and Flam part of the chapter; imagine one day one of the brothers is forcefully volunteered to test a new potion - the result is to change the opposite gender but an unexpected after effect is the potion is also an extreme aphrodisiac... use the rest of your imagination to figure the rest out
Other than that the first part of the chapter, idea for a new story
Second part is similar to a separate story arc around the two brothers and the last part is an unexpected twist
Huh, is it Thursday already?
ON: "It isn't?"
M6: OoO.
ON: "Dag, and Celestia was looking forward to this. You were gonna come stop us. You would fail of course. We would throw you in the dungeons for a week."
"That's horrible."
ON: "No, not really. The dungeons got converted to a spa last week. Just don't tell the Overlord. Shhhh."
"But why?"
ON: "Cause Changelings need love and everyone loves a good masseuse."
Necromancer x Bugwaifu = new ship ? Lovely
I wonder how Necromancer will effect the story? Perhaps they bring back Minions back more effective?
Or help increase the average life spans of Domain subjects? There for increasing population outside Immigration ?
Well... Wile i dont mind see Flim & Flam a head shorter, literally... If they are forced to make not half assed inventions but stuff that works and is sturdy relateable perhaps being not totaly busted after more than regular use.
This damn brothers might have a use after all.
Blueblood is a good pony? That a rare treat
Rarity is not convinced
Typical salty gold digger mare...
Great side story chapter. They have hidden meanings?
Or just lore to expand the worldbuilding?
