Some spelling errors here and there and a few capitalization misses, but nothing major. And whats with the polygamist crap? Ugh! I really got turned off when I heard the mention of that! I mean I realize MLP in the past seasons has been predominantly female in population, but this doesn't mean they roll like that! Even in the show itself a couple is a COUPLE! Not a bunch of disgusting polygamists!
Sorry for the rambling, but I totally despise polygamy! The story is rather good. I will track and follow to see where you are going with it. For now...
Also, I liked the idea of having clothing as I too felt fur was not a substitute for proper clothing (I've got a thing for clothing so yeah.) I find it kinda funny that the female is kinda the "worker" type pony and the male is the "stay at home" type. Actually in our society nowadays its more even with male and females. Heck they are even allowing females to be in the armed forces as foot soldiers now! And I am ok with clop so long as its tasteful and written in as PART of the story and not just sex for the point of sex. Ya get me?
And where are you centering this story at? I see no mention of the mane 6 or anything from the Equestria I know of.
2040741 Have you not read the previous story? That one's still in the works, and is more focused on clop, but still. Same world, but it explains a bit more (and started as an RP to allow creative idea to take precedent, not story telling, so it starts as a weak story)
And chapter 3 of that explains: this isn't Equestria...
2042408 Sorry, no I didn't. I've been to tied up in my own story to really go looking around. I was kinda just on last night and had a little writers block so I glanced over the new stories list and saw yours.
2042452 ah, well, there's another story happening simultaneously-ish with this one, with a very similar name (just swap over to Z-Type instead of R-Type)
Oh, also, to answer your question about polygamy in this world, it's pretty simple: with most of the pony species in this world have anywhere from slightly to extremely disparate gender ratios, there's a minimum of around 3:1 females to males in best case scenario. As this is a pre-industrial world, that means population is more important than love and happiness in a lot of cases. As such, small herds form as a base social structure, with larger herds forming the societal structure. The smaller ones are the families, and the larger ones are actual societies and the like.
And the worst case scenario? The Nightmares have a racial gender ratio of about 1000:1, female to male.
Oh, and one last thing: if you don't like the world, you don't have to read it. Polygamy is a central part of most of society in this story, so please be aware of this. But I hope you do, I'll be leaving some strong philosophical questions floating in the background for the readers to look for.
2042495 Eh I'll pass on that. Polygamy is disgusting and I don't see a single philosophical thing about it. It's pretty strait forward. Sorry, but I think I'll get off here thanks for the ride.
2042647 Can you explain why polygamy is disgusting? And philosophical questions do not relate to polygamy. They relate to society as a whole and the results of visually different races of different social standings- something I think we're all familiar with, at least in theory.
2042670 Love is between two people! How can you honestly say you love each and every one of your herd mates equally? You can't! So what does that leave you? Jealousy, resentfulness, disrespect, ignoring some in favor of others, the list goes on. What happens when you're the only female in a group of males? Or vise versa? Some of them you actually have feeling for where as others you simply fuck them for the benefit of the population. How does it make you feel that you're simply around because you're needed to make babies? A machine called on when your services are required. That would make me feel simply like a tool that could at any time be tossed away in favor of a shiny new one.
Polygamy is for all its worth is socialistic nonsense.
So... you only love your mother, then? Or do you love your father, then? If love is only between two people, then there is no way families could work. Please try again.
How can you honestly say you love each and every one of your herd mates equally? You can't!
Why can't I? I love everyone in my family equally. They are my center and my anchors, and no building stands on a single pillar.
So what does that leave you? Jealousy, resentfulness, disrespect, ignoring some in favor of others, the list goes on.
If that's the sort of person you are, then you need to either work out your priorities or not engage in polygamy. I don't mind if you can't manage more than one person in your life at a time, but don't judge others just because they can.
What happens when you're the only female in a group of males? Or vise versa?
Obviously, you ended up there by choice. Why would you have joined into a group of loving partners as the only member of a given gender if you couldn't handle it? If it sort of crept up on you, and you're not comfortable, you should sit down and talk about it. Duh.
Some of them you actually have feeling for where as others you simply fuck them for the benefit of the population. How does it make you feel that you're simply around because you're needed to make babies?
Huh, you might have somethign here... it's almost... almost like what humanity did for nearly 8,000 years! Gasp, how could we do that? Oh right, because society said it was okay, so society thought it was alright.
A machine called on when your services are required. That would make me feel simply like a tool that could at any time be tossed away in favor of a shiny new one.
If you take a look at the story long enough, you'll see that that's the issue that comes up. In fact, it's kinda the central issue in this story. Except the being thrown away part. There aren't enough to go around. No more than you would throw away the Mona Lisa, a one-of-a-kind artwork, they wouldn't throw away a mate so hard earned.
Polygamy is for all its worth is socialistic nonsense.
I assume you meant "Polygamy is, for all it's worth, socialistic nonsense", to which I reply, "only if you can only love one person at a time."
Also, remember that these are not humans. You seem to have a really narrow view on this, which I'll allow to stand if only because you are, in fact, entitled to your opinion. And it's my opinion that you're wrong. Three cheers for the first amendment, which means you can say whatever you want. I only hope you try opening your mind, if only to look beyond preconceptions and understand that what may not work for you does work for others.
Look... I am not going to continue arguing with you on this subject as I feel its just going to end in rude comments being constantly thrown back at one another. And I will not engage in such immature nonsense. You have your opinion and I have mine. This is how it will end. Good day.
