The Great Equestrian Foam Sword Fight is a fabled event that happens once every fifty years. To win the event, one must incapacitate another pony using the most dangerous weapon known to pony-kind.
The foam sword.
The winner of the event is also said to win untold riches that nopony knows about. With everypony trying to win those riches, the strongest bonds will shatter, the dirtiest of tricks will be played and all bets are off. After all, there can only be one winner.
It is also one of the few times were a pony can legally knock out another pony using a piece of foam.

.... I need more!
Good, but MORE :) Lol the cover photo of Fluttershy in gear. I laughed ahah
Oh my god, I can't stop laughing.
There were so many about this that were hilarious but I lost count.
This is an amazing story, please don't give up on this.
Me foamsta, keep it up! Watch and favorite.
Just a quick lil' niggle:
Prologue: PreperationsPrologue: Preparations is the way it should be spelt
Excellent story though, quite original and certainly made me chuckle. Not every author can make me chuckle. Chortle, maybe, but not chuckle.
Keep up the good work!
'tis funny, because I was holding a foam Nerf sword when I saw the story. dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Lyra.png
One of the few
THERE ARE MORE THAN ONE?
This looks interesting
This has oodles of promise. I can't wait to see how Twilight wins.
Definitly going to give this a read, but i have to ask...
...Is this a hunger games parody?
lul

Just you wait until I pull some plot twist that should, hopefully, make sense!
1112923
So Twilight's gonna think she's won until Pinkie Pie surprises everyone and takes it in a silly fashion? Got it. Can't wait.
1112914
I hope it's not, seeing how I have not read the books or seen the movies.
lol, to sleepy to read right now but will be looking forward to this when my brain is more functional.
there can be only one!
Nerf guns, anyone?
Brilliant idea.
Foam Artillery? Foam Knights? Foam tank! Must read more.... 
Why do i want to make this happen in real life? because it is so awesome!
ps. TOTALLY VOLUNTEERING TO BE SOMEPONY'S VICTIM!
And across the border, the griffons are looking on in sheer horror
1113546 im in where do i sign up lol
Just the first line had me laughing!
This is gonna be hilarious and the only thing that ran through my head by the end of this prologue was this
Read the rest.
I now go and rest in peace.
Died of laughter
Fav'd
1112942 question: is the safety word bananna a family guy referene? Cause if it is,
i see what you did there.
funny and interesting, I'm guessing fluttershy will equip her army of animals to fight for her
Or maybe she will just use her sad face to stop the enemy from attacking 
I will read this. But you must promise me one thing:
joshuabudich.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/IAmNotLeftHanded_Prod-00.jpg
At least one of the combatants must not be left-hooved.
There can be only one!
By the way, how awesome would a pony-fic be if immortals from off world came to Equestria to challenge Luna and Celestia to deadly one on one combat where they winner would receive the other's powers?
All I have to say is, 'Here we are! Born to be Queens! We're the Princesses of the Universe!'

Those guys are insane, I wouldn't put it past them...but damn you to tartarus, now I need to see a cross-over of that show with ponies.
I shall give this a read later. This isn't by any chance inspired by that story that has Twilight loosing her pillow is it?
THIS SHALL BE MOST GLORIOUS! 8D
FOR THE HONOR!!!
Neat concept, but it was way too short.
Banana
MOAR!
EVERYONE SHUT UP!
We all know Rarity's got this C:
The description kind of reminded me of the paint-ball episodes of Community. Oh well, this looks promising. Onward!!!

The Twilight losing her pillow story gave me some inspiration to write this.
1115627
There is no need to worry, I plan to make all chapter after this one at the very least 2k words.
1115942
that is an absolutely adorkable picture.
Great start, definitely looking forward to more.
Couple of typos though:
"Few smart ponies sat in their homes, waiting to pick off stragglers after the main fight." and "Rainbow war buzzing about, dreaming how awesome the prize would be. "
Otherwise looked pretty good.

The safety word being "Banana" is a Princess Molestia reference
Banana!
This is the Cutie Mark Crusaders plan to win the contest:
1. The day before, go to Discord's statue and promise him freedom in return for helping them win.
2. The next day, at the beginning of the contest, release Discord.
3. ???bananas???
4. Profit.
Where'd you find that Fluttershy picture? I never knew someone made Red Alert fan art with ponies.
Really good but who wins add mor and I'll give you a pony.

Sorry, I do not remember where i found it. All I can remember is that i searched Google for ponies with weapons.
Grimnir went to get the cheese.
We all know that either Derpy or Fluttershy are going to win...
I sure as heck hope flutters wins.
