Birthday Wish

Night 2 To Free Equestria (+ command)

A lot of you have been insisting that I contact the Diamond Dogs, but I don't know where they are! They live underground where there are lots of diamonds... wait! Rarity! She can use her magic to find diamonds. I highly suggest including this in the command tonight.

I have no idea what Stormcloud played yesterday, but his forces are moving now. Not sure where they're going, but it's not here. It's strange that he hasn't attacked this cave yet, seeing as how he knows we're here. Maybe he doesn't want this game to end so quickly. He's toying with us...

And Twilight thinks she can teach the other unicorns a spell that should let them communicate with eachother. That would mean that as long as there is at least one unicorn with the group, we can talk with all the squads no matter where we are.

Rarity, I want you to see if you can find the diamond dogs. Be diplomatic with them, use logic, and if you must, offer some diamonds. And I'm sorry, believe me I wouldn't ask this of you if I didn't have to, but you may need to get dirty. But which is worse, getting a bit dirty now, or losing your boutique, your friends, and...sweetie belle.
Anyway, the rest of you need to keep scouting for new locations.
By the way, a few questions:
1. Twilight, how good would you say James is at magic?
2. Is there any way we could get discord on our side?
2.1. Speaking of which, what happened to him anyway?
2.2. And for that matter, where's spike? He could be an ambassador for the dragons (which would be frickin SAWHEEET!), but I haven't seen claw nor scale of him this whole time.
2.3. And while we're on the subject of missing ponies/dragons/draconequii, what about the crystal empire? Cadence and shining armor would be great allies, cadence for morale, and shining for his military experience.
3. Finally, a kind of weird question, would it be possible to use poison joke as a weapon for the time being?

PS If you find a good hideout, don't hesitate to move there, pronto.

"Oh, nonononono! Going underground? To find those vile, disgusting creatures? Listen, darling... ... Sweetie Belle?
Oh, It. Is. ON!"

All right! Rarity's on the job. ...and getting rather dirty. She really loves her sister, huh?

James' magic? Hee hee, you see

I think we should skip that question for now...

He's a fast learner! He just can't learn some things because he's just a colt.

Uh... that last part wasn't necessary... maybe we should

And he's so cute!

OKAY! That's enough of that, we all know I'm really 18 not a foal, so next question:

2) Discord is locked up in the castle dungeon. If we could get him out, that would be fantastic, but for now I don't think we have what it takes yet. Add that to goals for the future along with saving the Princesses.

2.2) Spike... is one of them. Stormcloud actually changed him right in front of Twilight before he got her too. Basically Spike just runs around eating any food he sees (ate a billboard once) and collecting anything shiny he finds. I think he's secretly searching for Rarity as well.

2.3) The Crystal Empire? I haven't heard news of it since I got here. I suppose the only way there would be by train, and I don't think anyone's aloud to use it. Of course, why should that stop us?

4) Poison Joke, that's brilliant! I've never seen it myself, but I saw the episode where it's from. That would mean we'd need to go into the Everfree Forest, which could be dangerous.

Aha! An opening into some underground tunnels! Nice job, Rarity. Well... let's go in. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

The diamond dogs will join the rebel alliance in return for 500 bits worth of jewels when it's over. I told them they'd get it because we don't really have a choice. So welcome the diamond dogs onto our team!

Another thing is a Pegasus flew down here from Cloudsdale asking for reinforcements. Stormcloud is attacking, and if he takes Cloudsdale, he'll have control over the weather.

Ok guys, order time!

That will be bad...but unfortunately we don't have the manpow- er, ponypower or firepower to help them. Even if twilight knows the cloudwalking spell, they can run us over with sheer numbers, and seeing as we only have..........
WAIT JUST A MINUTE!
HOW MANY DIAMOND DOGS ARE THERE?
Because if there are a bunch, I may just have an idea...

[TheMainManeMaineBrony]

Rarity: Thank you. Thank you so much. If I could, I would award you a medal of honor. Wait, I'm leader of the rebellion, I can do that! , meet medal, medal, .
Twilight: I'm sorry to hear about spike. If there's anything I can do to save him, I will not hesitate to do it.

Excellent news, 3399231 Now we need to build an underground HQ. It will be the best if soil above HQ was full of lead. If the EMP can disable magic, that mean that detection magic work similar to our technology, that mean that lead will hide us from detection spells.

3400970 Hello, we also need to think about the current situation with Sweet Apple Acres and Cloudsdale. I think we all are on the same page when I think that if he controls the weather and our, at it currently seems, only food source wouldn´t be something we want to let happen.

@Swiftbullet: I have sent you my thoughts on Cloudsdale per pm.

[Night Heart]

To everyone and everypony out there wo wants to help us. Sent us your ideas on:
- Strategy
- Next possible steps
- General information about things we may not have taken accurately in consideration
* Cities
* Races
* Flora and fauna
* Abilities

Everything can help us, everyone can help, if there is the wish to do so. You can help and together we can reach our goal.

[TheMainManeMaineBrony]

Do we know the whereabouts of any of the following:
Zecora
Flim-flam bros
Buffalo
Doctor hooves
Fancy pants
The wonderbolts
Snowflake, aka steroids, aka YEAH! pony
CMC
Nurse redheart
Steve magnet
Mayor mare
G&P trixie
Iron will
Changelings

[Night Heart]

3401626 Yes you are right they have, as far as I know spears and armour, which means they should have a forge.

[Night Heart]

3401808 I am currently exactly that with Swiftbullet

Ok guys, my aunt is coming over to sit me and my siblings, and she is STRICT when it comes to the screen. She'll be gone in the afternoon tomorrow, but I'm giving tonight's order now, as she's about to arrive.
See if we can't send some Pegasi/DD troops north, and check on the crystal empire. Speaking of which, how many Diamond dogs are there? Anyway, work on building a fort underground. Also, see if the diamond dogs can supply us with armor/spears. And James, if we have a reasonable hope of success...try for sweet apple acres. I know that cloudsdale also needs reinforcements, but we need a good food surplus before we can focus on going on the offensive.
Also, any information about the following:
•Trixie
•Zecora
•flim-flam bros.
•nurse redheart
•the wonderbolts
•the CMC
•Buffalo
•changelings
•Mayor mare
•Steve magnet
•Griffons
•Dragons
•minataurs

Edit: and evacuate cloudsdale, we can't fight a battle we can't get to. See if they can't bring supplies/vittles. (Thanks, night)
Edit: and ask the Pegasi to destroy cloudsdale as best they can. If we can't have weather control, no one can. I don't care how you do it, just destroy the weather factories. I'm sorry I have to do this but Stormcloud leaves us no choice.

[Night Heart]

3402367 Would it not be a good idea to evacuate Cloudsdale and get as much supplies from there as possible?

[Night Heart]

3402518 Eyuupp you are right I haven´t seen the edit on his comment.
