338266>>338270>>338250 Now, for another decision I don't want to make alone...
During and after the Civil War, when the Council is in power, I had planned on giving each Magistrate a set of customized, ceremonial armor. To show their stature, and to provide actual protection... What are all your views on this idea?
338330... To be honest, I don't really know... Just think of your Element of Harmony, I suppose... I'm not a good motivator - not a friendly one, at least.
338336>>338337 Okay while you think on how you are going to give me this "starter shove," I think I have figured out the description. How does this sound? "This is the seal of the Magistrates of Harmony. The Magistrates of Harmony are composed of the Bearers of the Elements of Harmony. It is the Bearers that formed and lead the Harmonic Council. They formed the Harmonic Council after the war between the Solar Empire and New Lunar Republic started. They are dedicated to bringing Equestria back to the way it was before the war." Oh, and AimBot I am sure you are completely friendly as a motivator.
338355 That's an Idea I had earlier today. Although originally I was thinking of standard armor for the Knights of Harmony. And why did you add that emoticon. Your scaring me.
338366 That's the reason I added the emoticon. I knew it would stir up some emotions... So, you're looking into armor, eh? You want a starter - and we're in need of armor designs... What a coincidence... Ya get me?
338382 Wait, What? I mean I will, but when did we start planning an attack? And who and where are we attacking? Plus I thought we were taking about ways to get me started on original armor designs.
338413 Nice Cap Lock shout. I don't know either. I guess I try to figure out colors, and designs for the Magistrates and Knights, ( I would very much appreciate you did some brainstorming yourself) or I work towards the final version of the seal of the Magistrates, or I try finding programs that will let me give it the look I want. Also I knew that you were jesting that's just how I get my fun sometimes playing along, although sometimes I think I do it too well
338430>>338425 I have an idea for helmets at least. If you are familiar with the Warhammer 40,000 universe, you'll know that the Imperial Guard helmets have the typical bowl shape while covering the entire head and a bit of the back of their neck and the sides of their face, while two 'flaps' stick out to cover their cheeks, giving their helmet a kind of Ancient Greek helmet facial look, though with a much wider field of vision. You could elongate that helmet and flaps to make it better suited for Equine heads, and also add some kind of plumage on top for decoration and protection.
338456 Yep. I just went to the wikia to see it myself... To be honest, I kind of use the Warhammer 40K universe to my advantage... They've got so much stuff, no one will notice a pilfered detail here or there... I got the "Ceremonial armor" idea from a Warhammer 40K book, in which Inquisitor Obadiah Roth has his own armor, gear, et cetera.
338460 You know, due to my imagination running wild when I'm bored, I managed to create for myself a set of armor, crossed over from god knows how many different movies and games and books and universes. I could try to think up some armor patterns and draw them out for you.
338425>>338453>>339595 Er... Could I get a little feedback on the whole "Legion of Harmony" idea? It doesn't really sit well with me... It just does't sound quite right. Any ideas?
340508 Oh, I got a question. Since this council was formed by the Mane 6 in order to avoid getting sucked into the civil war between Luna and Celestia, what ever happened to the princesses? Did they eventually stop fighting? Are they dead? Did the Mane 6 come out and conquer everything?
340528 Well, the 'locked away for eternity' thing does sound a bit drastic.... Any other suggestions? I'd need to find something to do with two powerless princesses....
340539 Maybe it could be some kind of house arrest. So they still raise/lower the sun and moon, but they have no political power whatsoever and they're forbidden to leave... say, the top floor of their castle so they can still use the library or observatory or whatever.
340544 That could work... But that brings one concern; How could they raise and lower the sun if they were stripped of their powers? Perhaps some kind of... Magical bindings?
340548 I read in some fan fics a kind of magical restraint that is placed on a horn, preventing it from utilizing magic. Instead of a total inhibitor, it could just be a limiting agent.
338270 I guess that was BronyRex's design, but I've got no clue what he meant for it... So I've made an edit.
Thought i fixed that
338266>>338270>>338250 Now, for another decision I don't want to make alone...

Works for me
338310 Works for me as well I was planing on doing some armor designs actually. So let me paraphrase here. Writing and drawing minds think alike huh?
338315 It appears so...
338318 But on a disappointing side note I have very little clue where to begin. It depresses me greatly.
338323 Well... I could give you a gentle "starter shove"...
338326 And how would this "Starter shove" work exactly?
I could as well. I have a very mysterious mind, as does Aimbot.
338331>>338326 Why do I have a bad feeling about this?
338330... To be honest, I don't really know... Just think of your Element of Harmony, I suppose... I'm not a good motivator - not a friendly one, at least.
338336>>338337 Okay while you think on how you are going to give me this "starter shove," I think I have figured out the description. How does this sound?

Oh, and AimBot I am sure you are completely friendly as a motivator.
338348 Good description... Glad to see my faith was placed in the hands of someone capable.
And yeah... I need to work on my motivators skills... I'll come up with something... You said you wanted to draw armor?
338355 That's an Idea I had earlier today. Although originally I was thinking of standard armor for the Knights of Harmony. And why did you add that emoticon. Your scaring me.
338366 That's the reason I added the emoticon. I knew it would stir up some emotions... So, you're looking into armor, eh? You want a starter - and we're in need of armor designs... What a coincidence... Ya get me?
338372 I get ya.
338380 So it's settled then... We attack at dawn.
338382 Wait, What? I mean I will, but when did we start planning an attack? And who and where are we attacking? Plus I thought we were taking about ways to get me started on original armor designs.
338396 Relax brother(?), I merely jest. Yes, we're talking about the armor, and all that...
338399 Oh, OK! and all that....... what?
338410 I DON'T KNOW! I just added it because I felt that the original message was too short...
So, er... Now what?
338413 Nice Cap Lock shout. I don't know either. I guess I try to figure out colors, and designs for the Magistrates and Knights, ( I would very much appreciate you did some brainstorming yourself) or I work towards the final version of the seal of the Magistrates, or I try finding programs that will let me give it the look I want. Also I knew that you were jesting that's just how I get my fun sometimes playing along, although sometimes I think I do it too well
338425 Caps lock? Please, I use SHIFT... And alright, I'll start thinking about the armor... remind me tomorrow, and I may have something cooked up...
338430>>338425 I have an idea for helmets at least. If you are familiar with the Warhammer 40,000 universe, you'll know that the Imperial Guard helmets have the typical bowl shape while covering the entire head and a bit of the back of their neck and the sides of their face, while two 'flaps' stick out to cover their cheeks, giving their helmet a kind of Ancient Greek helmet facial look, though with a much wider field of vision. You could elongate that helmet and flaps to make it better suited for Equine heads, and also add some kind of plumage on top for decoration and protection.
338425>>338430 Here's a pic of what I'm talking about. Take a close look at their helmets.
338456 Yep. I just went to the wikia to see it myself... To be honest, I kind of use the Warhammer 40K universe to my advantage... They've got so much stuff, no one will notice a pilfered detail here or there...

338467
Go for it.
338225I must agree as well. BTW, what would us normal guys be doing? I haven't written much... in fact, I can't remember joining this...
338522
Well, if you aren't much if a writer, then there is always art and recruiting.
338425>>338453>>339595
Er... Could I get a little feedback on the whole "Legion of Harmony" idea? It doesn't really sit well with me... It just does't sound quite right. Any ideas?
339939> not right now but I will get back to you on it.
339939 How about The Harmonic Guard? Makes it sound more protective instead of aggressive with 'legion.'
340354 Good point... After the war, there wouldn't be much reason to attack anything.
340354
I like it
340508 Oh, I got a question. Since this council was formed by the Mane 6 in order to avoid getting sucked into the civil war between Luna and Celestia, what ever happened to the princesses? Did they eventually stop fighting? Are they dead? Did the Mane 6 come out and conquer everything?
340516 I've got a plan for that... To cut a long story short, the Princesses are stripped of their powers and locked away for eternity.
340525 That's a bit harsh. Aren't someponies gunna get mad about that? And do the Mane 6 agree to that?
340528 Well, the 'locked away for eternity' thing does sound a bit drastic.... Any other suggestions? I'd need to find something to do with two powerless princesses....
340539 Maybe it could be some kind of house arrest. So they still raise/lower the sun and moon, but they have no political power whatsoever and they're forbidden to leave... say, the top floor of their castle so they can still use the library or observatory or whatever.

340548 I read in some fan fics a kind of magical restraint that is placed on a horn, preventing it from utilizing magic. Instead of a total inhibitor, it could just be a limiting agent.
340552 That would work well... But what about flight?... Can you clip a pony's wings?
340556 Easy. Have the top floor redesigned and throw in a whole bunch of enchantments so that they can't leave it by air. Kinda like Hogwarts.
340562 Ooh, and we'll have a force-field! I've always wanted to write about a force-field... Keep up the great work Stryker, you're a friggin' genius.
