Harrum. I suppose I'll put together another post while we wait on entrances.

Harrum. I suppose I'll put together another post while we wait on entrances.

If I don’t see a first post from people who have applied and haven’t told me anything about being delayed in the next day or so, I do believe that I will start telegramming people.

[Mercatus]

Working on a post right now, expect to see it up today.

Edit: Terra Nova: Act 1, Corvus Prime declares war on literally fucking everyone.

Anyone still wanna continue? This was about to get good.

It was, truly, but two active players does not a successful RP make. Alas.

I tried getting a couple people to post, if they have been accepted, or finish their applications, if they have not, but it appears that I did so in vain.

[New Saharia]

I'm all in for continuing. With myself, Mercatus, G-Tech and Russ we have 4 people.

I'll myself try to get one more post up soonish, but unless more people start jumping in the IC I don't think there's much point in trying to push it much further than that.

IC post up; the wheels of Northern governance may not spin very quickly, but spin it does with an irresistible torque, and slowly it begins to respond to the grievous and unprovoked attack on its population.

Commentary and feedback always welcome. Have I made my Nineteen Eighty-Four influences obvious enough yet? :p

Is this still a thing? I hope it is - I was kicking around the idea for a regiment of French soldiers to be plucked out of the Battle of Wagram in 1809 and deposited here to do God knows what.

I’m willing to keep posting if other people are.

Quite a few players seem to be missing, though.

[Mercatus]

I’m gonna get a post up later today.

So, o the off chance this may still be a thing - any particular limitations on non-human or fantasy settings?

Say, of a certain popular children's franchise about small horses...

No limitations. Feel free.

Full disclosure, I think this RP is dying, but if people post applications I'll still look over them and if people mention me in IC posts I'll still write them responses.

Well, I figured it might be based on prior posts, but I just had the most wonderful idea anyways

App in the spoiler below is not yet completed, I'll post when it is - but I figured more thread bumps couldn't hurt in the meantime

Transportation Report
Equestria

1. Source
Time-advanced version of the MLP:FiM universe (with some non-notable changes to show-canon). Tech level is approximately comparable to the late 1990s, if more magical (and far more advanced in areas such as weather control and terraforming). Contains many headcanons and 'borrowing' of various fanfic ideas, none of which are notable enough to merit mentioning in this section.

2. Scope
The nation of Equestria, including all military assets and citizens that were not currently in the nation at the time (but not structures outside of Equestrian territory), as well as all dependent territories. Populations of other species are mysteriously not transported.

3. Location
Equestria has overwritten the area known as the Arabian peninsula (additionally, the nation of Jordan) entirely, including the appropriate local climates - most notably in the case of the Crystal City, which remains surrounded by frozen tundra.

4. Organization
Equestria is a Federal Republic, with a tinge of theocracy. The nation is ruled by the Pentarchy of Princesses Celestia, Luna, Cadance, and Twilight Sparkle, as well as the draconequus Discord. They collectively comprise both the executive of the nation, as well as its highest court (which rules on matters of the constitution of the country). Their respective powers in the Pentarchy are defined in law, by precedent, or amongst themselves. The legislative functions of the government are carried out by the national parliament, though the functioning of the same is symbolic at best due to the immense moral and popular authority they have accumulated over the centuries (or in the case of Celestia, over more than a millennium). They are afforded their positions due both to their magical might affording them the ability to best protect the constituent kingdoms back in the founding of Equestria (Celestia and Luna), being added in later on the urging of the same (Cadance and Twilight), or the inability of anypony to truly stop them from getting involved should they so choose (Discord). The modern nation retains its historical federal aspects, with each of the ancient kingdoms that formed the nation existing in the present as something akin to states or provinces.

The citizens of the nation (other than the ruling Pentarchy) are divided more or less equally among three species, namely earth ponies, pegasi, and unicorns; all of which retain their own particular brand of magic.

5. Assets
(everything physical about your faction; how many people were transported? what military assets did you bring to Terra Nova? do you have an industrial economy? magic? fantasy creatures?)

6. Background
(the history of your faction and any information about the setting it comes from that helps contextualise your faction)

Post is up (surprise! im not dead yay)- have at it Mercatus. Time to have some fun.

This is gonna get hella crazy now with Equestria of all things thrown in here. Hell, if you think you can add to this crazy world Lord, go for it! Blow us away. Heck, maybe it'll encourage a wider audience so we don't seem appealing to only Sci-fi nerds.

Let's Terra this Nova!

that was so awful im sorry

Certainly, Equestria is going to be interesting...

Saharia-Corvus conflict heating up?

G-Tech, this smells of 100% pure opportunity. :p

Saharia-Corvus conflict heating up?

Indeeeed..! Might make a double-post to get things rolling on... other fronts. The Republic is aware of the NSCR - how should I possibly go about contacting you, seeing we at the very least have a common enemy now? Was gonna just send a shuttle while trying to establish a comms link with you.

A shuttle is liable to just get shot at, given... recent events.

Probably safer to land somewhere out in the Norwegian Sea and try to radio one of our navy ships.

Hey I’m already planning to send lads to siphon up the remnants and desecrate some war-graves. Those complexes of refined metal are too hard to pass up for pure mass.

Please note that there were no Teradon frigates in the Corvus fleet that engaged your ships, they were all left behind with the other half of the fleet that did not go to low orbit.

Also, it is generally accepted rule/etiquette not to write the destruction of other RPers assets and/or characters.

No problem then..! I'll simply remove any tangibles regarding you, and give you 100% control.

Edit: Alright, there we go - all destruction of Corvus assets is left to you. No super-clear depiction of any Corvus unit kill/destruction in the battle scene, and I removed you from the tangibles and left myself.
We should really get collab-posts going for this RP in general for battles so this doesn't happen again, cause I'd bet it's annoying. I volunteer Google Drive; it's easy enough.
