Sorry I didn't post last night guys. Twilight over here fell asleep! Oh well, she really needed it I guess.
I've taken another of "Zecora's Red Bull" so I'm up and running again! Although it doesn't seem to be as strong this time. Hm. Anyway, I tried the spell to return the captive ponies to their right minds, but I wasn't quite strong enough to pull it off. Darn kid's body! But the good news is Twilight was able to cast it with ease. She's currently (well not this very second, but) teaching all the unicorns how to use this spell, so I believe we have achieved our greatest weapon!
Alongside that, if we bathe in that cure for the Poison Joke before touching it, it won't affect us. So if we can find a time to head on over to the market in Ponyville, we could get the herbs we need and turn the blue plants into yet another weapon against the enemy! Does anyp... body else think things are a little too easy? Like, Stormcloud hasn't attacked us hardly at all (except yesterday when he caved-in the tunnels and shot at the forest), we've only been in a few battles, but we haven't had any casualties... maybe it's because we're playing smart and avoiding directly fighting. I tell ya, all of your knowledge of this world and what can be used as weapons is kinda impressive. Now... if only we could find some Parasprites!
One other thing, if I could suggest some near-future goals: Crystal Empire (and possibly recruiting the Changlings), getting into the castle to free Discord and the princesses, curing as many ponies as possible with the new spell. Honestly, I don't see how we could lose now! Let's wrap this up!
And is it strange that I dreamed of me and the ponies in a rap-battle against Stormcloud last night? I still remember most of the lyrics, too. Yea, that's weird...
Post #2
Send a SMALL force into ponyville to get some poison joke.
Continue using the "reforming" spell on as many prisoners as possible.
...and build up more defenses.
And other than this, I order you to act at your own discretion.
Just about all the prisoners are bouncing around and colorful. We will soon have some poison joke in our arsenal. As for our own discretion, I'm going to spend the night training myself and the earth ponies how to use these spears. Then we'll all get a good night's sleep to be ready for whatever the plan is for tomorrow.
About the spell, it takes its effect on the heart, so it has to be directly used on the target. We have to actually touch the target with our horn. And I say "we" because I've almost got it down! I haven't been able to get it quite right, but I'll have it soon I think.
And the rap battle? Haha! Well you have to remember that this was a dream, which means it's going to be strange. Add that to the fact that I can't rap, and you get this:
(Fluttershy)
You stand before the great Fluttershy!
The bronies killed the last pony who dared to make me cry!
My element is kindness, but you wouldn't know about that,
'cause you get your kicks and giggles from sitting in a castle getting fat!
I've tamed Manticores! You can't even tame your mane!
You have to kidnap some ponies to get anyone to say your name!
I've never heard of you before--you must be new,
I'd show you around, but even the clean air avoids you!
(Stormcloud)
Oh, Fluttershy, afraid to show your face?
I would be too if I always finished in last place!
I'm the king of Darkness! You're only friends are the birds!
Pretending you can match me, you've never seemed so absurd!
You tamed the wild beast, or it's just afraid of your smell?
I'm not very impressed, if you're not too naive to tell.
There's a reason you're only loved in the Brony community,
And your most popular line is, "I'd like to be a tree!"
(ApplaJack) "You leave her alone!"
My bucks are so strong, they knock the apples from their place,
Just come a little closer, so I can do that to your face!
My element states that I would never tell a lie,
And, suger, I'm saying, "You are one ugly guy!"
Yeehaw! It seems this war is already won!
How can we lose to somepony whose own parents wish they didn't own?
You say that you can make us all disappear in a poof,
But All I see you doing is being stomped on by my hoof!
(Stormcloud)
Oh dear, it's AppleJack, the pony who sleeps with pigs,
I wouldn't be surprised if you mistook a goat for your own kid!
And don't get me started on that wasteland of a farm,
I can't count how many times you've had to raise that barn!
Your losing this fight! Your rhymes have no bite!
You're the only pony here who hasn't been in flight!
(Pinkie Pie) "You can't speak to AppleJack that way!"
My name is Pinkie Pie, and I am here to say,
I'm going to bring you down, and you will forever rue this day!
I'm the breaker of fourth walls! You'd better hope my mane stands tall!
Physics can't hold me down, let alone the most ugly of them all!
When I laugh the darkness flees,
I don't dodge--danger avoids me!
When you want to start a war, who makes a stupid game of it?!
Now come here, "friend", I have a cupcake with your name on it!
(Twilight)
I matched the Princess's magic when I was only four,
Nowadays, I could out-cast you for sure!
My idiosyncrasies dominate this fight!
When I thought I couldn't get better, suddenly I have flight!
The leader of the mane six, now the leader of a kingdom!
Even the princess bows down to my great and awesome wisdom!
You changed the weather, I saved the world!
Hang your head in shame-- You've just been beaten by a girl!
(James)
Your super power is you let others know your plan,
You wish you could be the great time traveler that I am!
When you visited other kids, did none of them want to play?
Did your mother drop you when you were born? Or just throw you away?
I'm glad you hide behind that cloud, your face looks like Granny Smith's rear!
Now listen closely--this I want you to hear:
You've awakened the beast. Your luck just ran out.
The human race rises in the east. This time you've finally struck out.
(Stormcloud)
What is this flea I see before me? 'Tis nothing but a foal!
All the schemes you've concocted, every one of them you were told!
As soon as your life got hard, you went running to a fandom!
But now you're all alone, wet, lost and abandoned.
You forget your parents at the first chance and left,
now I see all along you were nothing but a--
Then I woke up.
Phew! I think that potion's wearing off... that didn't last as long as I thought it would. I still feel like I haven't slept in days... ugh, I'm going to bed. Night people.
James, I agree. This IS way too easy. I think Stormcloud has something up his sleeve. He's playing us for saps, thinking we're going to get cocky and do something risky. And that's when he'll wipe us all out. So I cannot stress this enough: DO. NOT. GET. COCKY.
In the meantime, revert as many ponies as you can. (Not an order)
By the way, I think I can speak for the entirety of the alliance when I ask if you could show us the rap battle.
I also agree that we need to contact the crystal empire.
James, do you or anypony else have any ideas on how to ge-
WAIT A MINUTE!
This could be just what Stormcloud wants. He may already have won the changelings over, and sent that letter to bait us.
Then again, the changelings would be a valuable ally...
Rrrrgh! Now I know what admiral ackbar feels like.
When going for the changelings watch your back. They won't hesitate to dubble-cross you.
3425596 Of course we have to be careful and watch our backs in that matter. But if we could show them that they can gain more if the help us as what they would reach if they betray us, I would say we have a good chance to win them over.
But it would be really helpfull if we would know more about them, there history, ther biology, there relations with the other nations ...
I think this sentence is getting slowly but surely on the way to be my favourite "We need more information"
Midnight, If we are going to the crystal empire (which I'm still not sure about) how would we go about doing that?
3426002 Did you read what I suggested in the forum? I donĀ“t think that it would be a good idea to travel to the Crystal empire at this moment.
Question for Twi: Is it possible to charge a Carrier Medium with a Spell and then Release it on Destruction of Said medium?
if so, you could Enchant Ammo for the Catapults with the Reformation spell and then bomb the Enemy with it, Crystals or something suitable as a Carrier Medium
Ok, orders:
Send a SMALL force into ponyville to get some poison joke.
Continue using the "reforming" spell on as many prisoners as possible.
...and build up more defenses.
And other than this, I order you to act at your own discretion.
You know, it feels like you guys should be celebrating Nightmare Night. Curse you, Stormcloud! You made them miss free candy!
3426774 Actually, Rarity stood up and led them in some songs tonight. Yea, it hit me this afternoon... this is Halloween back at home... or Nightmare Night here... and we're missing it. But Rarity actually stood up and led in some singing. Then she looked around and, finding nothing sweet to give out, grabbed some rocks and used magic to color them. We don't really have any kids in our group, but the adults were really touched by Rarity's generosity. But I didn't stick around--I needed to be alone.
Pony rap battle.
Mind = blown
3427144 3429075 That I would say was a very interesting dream, but it could be more than you think. It could be a vision that wants to warn you about what might happen in the future. I think it is possible that the lacking activity of our enemy could be a trap. I mean that he maybe wants us to think that our fight will be easy and we have as good as won and than he attack with everything he has to show us how weak we are so we lose hope and fall into despair. So we should be extra careful in what we do.
3429571
I completely agree. There's just no way that this is all he has. We may have a full house, but he's got five aces up his sleeve.
3429579 Have we send out some scouts to monitor the surrounding area for enemy activity? My suggestions from yesterday still stands and I think we should slowly build up our forces.
3429589 Sorry I wasn't here but I have been in hospital, health problem. But I am now back. Did someone tell what is our situation?
3429626 Hello my dear friend, I hope you are feeling better now.
The situation in short:
- We found Zecora and have here at our base with her stuff
- To be albe to do some potions we need ingrediants from the city.
- As it seems we found the book that Twilight mentioned. It is from someone that seems also come from another wold and was transformed into a zebra
- This book contained a spell that breaks the brainwashing from our enemy, the only problem is, as far as I understand it to cast the spell the horn from a unicorn that casts it have to be in contact with the pony to take effect
- As James and the others returned to our base the enemy has attacked it and the entrance had a cave in, so nobody could escape but Pinkie send them running
That what I can think of at the moment. If someone has to add something, feel free to do so.
3429653 Good very good. What about Crystal Empire? Have we contact with them? I have plan to defeat Stormcloud, but we need troops, army (maybe small but not too small). How many units we have? What about others Cities in Equestria? Have we somepony there?
3427144 James did you know how to build armor for humans? No we will not have a human army... well maybe... but not literally.
Remember after every storm...cloud, came a Rainbow
3429675 Nope no contact with the cities. Concerning our resources you will have to ask James, we donĀ“t have any information about that. But for the moment I would suggest that we try to find out what our enemy is up to. Free more ponies with the spell, find a way to use said spell on greater areas, extend our hq,train our forces and of course give them proper weapons and armor. And James please start a research facility, we have more than enought ideas that would help us to reach our goals.
Let me think, a yes I forgot something:
- We received a letter that seems to be from the changelings, but nopony can read it
- James sleep problems are temporary solved by an energy drink from Zecora
- Zecora has a potion that is able to create a hole in a magic shield
3429691 Well I wasn't here for few days so you have a better sight on our situation. And yours ideas are very good, well I have not much to add. Say TMMMB to do like you write.
3429718 I would suggest that you read in the forum, to yesterday I added a few idas that I also think that are also good now. I am currently waiting for our CO commands concerning this.
3429718 I am good at writing, but I never have any ideas. I MIGHT be able to write a good fic if someone laid down the plot for me.
Stop thinking those dirty thoughts, you know what kind of plot I meant.
3429829 Says the one who points it out
3429718 What do you want to write. Maybe I can help you with that.
3429956 OMG *facepalm* I am idiot. I want to say that I like what YOU write as your ideas Night Heart. Probably I am too tired.
Well speaking of which, I have idea for fanficion but I am not good writer in English.
Well I started my story in polish brony website.
3429980 Please, or dear creator change some words in what you have written .... big please
We can look at that if you want, but my english is far from perfect, and I am as you might have guessed, from time to time quite busy, so I can not every time answer that fast, but if you really want I would like to help you with that but we should look for additional people that would help us if this should develop into greater project.
3430041 OMG I am too tired.
3430063 My friend, you really should go to sleep in a short amount of time, you seems to me to be really tired.
Ok, orders: scout the area, look for Stormcloud troop movement, and if possible, aquire a parasprite.
Questions:
Where are the wonderbolts? Could they help train the Pegasi? If so, please do.
What is the status on the crystal empire train?
Edit: cancel these orders.
