The Coalition of Ponyist States (OOC, Membership Open!)

[Earth Sphere Coalition]

Would anyone be willing to participate in a planned RP (probably this weekend start-time) detailing the expulsion of ponies from my nation?

This, may I remind you of the Pax Luna Protocol, YellowApple, Lubby?

You seem to think that the Pax Luna Protocol is binding upon all CoPS member-states simply by the virtue of having the support of two influential nations in CoPS?

Why thank you. That helpful response has lost you most of the respect I had for you after the previously helpful correspondance RE: Pony militaries, defining ponyism and The Catechsim of the Pony Faith.

Someone comes on here asking for help regarding making a pony related RP better and making their back-story better. The same person who you know from previously to appear to be level headed and not some stupid hater (Or I hope I've given that idea through my actions in trying to calm the APA OOC thread, getting it unlocked and generally through my communications.). You then provide a highly negative and entirely non-helpful response, having previously complained vehemetly about those anti-ponies who don't take any of these precautions? That's not exactly the best response you could possibly give, is it?

It isn't, but it really, really should be.

And to quote it:

Don't do pony-genocide RP. Don't even comment on it. I think we're all fed up with the whole darn notion, I know I am. The same with pony revolutions and such.

DOes this give the impression of Genocide or Revolution occuring?

[The Ctan]

Quite. I have no authority nor do I claim any, to dictate who RPs with whom. I recommend that everyone observe a general moratorium on anything like that, but it's not my place, nor anyone else's, to say "you shouldn't RP with this person."

I might be being thick here, but are you saying you think 'Operation Ranbow Smash' is a bad idea, or that the Pax Luna doesn't cover it?

From what I understand, the Pax Luna Protocol was intended for those that have a hard time playing nicely with the anti-pony folks (correct me if I'm wrong, though.). Specifically, you and GPH. Not for those like myself and Lub who aren't as notorious for flaming at every turn.

^ In other words, this.

This is exactly what Nathi and myself are talking about. If you can't be polite about saying something, then for the love of Celestia and Luna don't say it, lest the pony gods sic ice pony things on y'all and permafreeze you.

Also, thanks for the addition.

DOes this give the impression of Genocide or Revolution occuring?

To be honest, if I'd thought of it at the time I'd have mentioned pony-ethnic-cleansing (equine-cleansing?) and 'other pony bad-shit.'

No ethnic cleansing or anything beyond 'forced deportation'. The worst that will happen is:

One massacre. And it's status as a massacre is questionable. Some participants will also have the chance to act in a tribunal of the Officer Commanding as barristers or the Jury. I think it's a novel idea...

And that 'other pony bad-shit' is very vague.

[Saurisisia]

The attack was actually no-ones fault it was just extremely unlucky that the attack managed to be carried out. The Prime Minister however just resigned because he felt guilty and thought he had abandoned his election promises. In short he's just a decent man.

Reminds me of Gordon Brown for some reason

Ugh...

The Pax Luna Protocol, as I interpret it, is meant to stop Pony Genocide RP, as well as not RPing with those who base their hatred of CoPS and Ponies on OOC distaste for the show and bronies.

RP with people like Fantoa and his AAPS, or Soviet Canuckistan with MAAPS, heck even Greater Mackonia would fall under the Pax Luna Protocol.

On the other hand, Kouralia has been responsive to attempts to form a proper IC reason for distaste of ponies, and he is currently trying to RP his history out with us, so that such an IC reason is properly established via RP. This strikes me as a fun RP to do, and something that does not violate the Luna Protocol. If he suddenly turns around, and is like: 'lolz u gaiz r st000pid. p0nyz suxkzzz!!!!111! i n00k you!' Then he will fully fall under Pax Luna, and I will happily Ignore Cannon him.

However, this seems unlikely.

GPH, ESC...I get along with you guys, and I consider a lot of people in CoPS friends. However, I have to think that you two are reacting very strongly to anything that's even slightly anti-Pony. I mean, I can't blame you in the slightest, given the quality of RP that the anti-Ponyists tend to show us. However, I have to think that you guys are getting to broad with your strokes...let's give Kouralia a chance. There's potental I think, and I'd like to try.

The Pax Luna Protocol is not a rule or anything of such! It is merely a "formal" title that symbolizes the methods certain Ponyist nations have taken to ignore the Anti-Ponyists. It is not a rule that the entire alliance has to follow, although certain nations strongly recommend everyone does so, but it is not a rule or law.

[The Ctan]

No ethnic cleansing or anything beyond 'forced deportation'.

That's what Ethnic Cleansing is.

"the planned deliberate removal from a specific territory, persons of a particular ethnic group (ponies), by force or intimidation, in order to render that area ethnically homogenous (human)."

[Saurisisia]

Ugh...

What?

The mention of Gordon Brown, a Brit politician I don't like (even though I am largely indifferent on European politics) for his policies AND his ugliness.

Nope. I recommend that everyone, including you, adopt it.

You are of course, free to laugh at me.

#He was a brilliant Chancellor, just a bad Prime Minister, but I prefer Brown to Cameron any day.

Discussion of Gordon Brown is so far off topic it can't even see the topic, guys.

Eeyup, it sure is.

Well you are forcing your pony population to leave home. I can see genocide happening.
