Coalition of Ponyist States OOC & Sign-Up

I think most discussion has moved onto the IRC which is certainly a more efficient means of communicating RP ideas.

I've never understood that stuff. Do you have to choose a user name first to see the chat, and if so, where does that happen?

You don't have to register a username, unless you want to, and that can be explained later if necessary. The instructions for joining are in the OP, and it should be easy to sign on using mibbit. Don't even need to download anything.

The constant never ending tirades against me on the IRC has done damages I consider most irreparable, and I will not argue this point further, I will clean up that Oceania thread most violently, then my life as it is known on NS is over.

Another member of the former ICLC ending their full NS status.

Get on IRC already Cel!

You may like to take a look at the International Population Relief Programme or the International Humanitarian Aid Society. I'm sure they'd be very happy to accept anything you could offer them too.

I tried getting on a few months back, had some trouble with it and never bothered to reattempt it since.

Despite being a good sized post, it actually gives good insight of life in New Nassrau... both of my posts so far

Equestria Cup II - MD5 Results

[YellowApple]

People I once considered friends, has proved themselves utterly, in my point of view, to value their version of justice and moral superiority more than being trustworthy friends who would refrain from accusing me quite openly and harshly of hypocrisy, and they do this five times a day. I am sick and tired of it. You guys have 24 hours of removing my name from the lists.

Sorry to hear. You'll always have an EEYUP vote from me should you decide to return. Otherwise, adieu. It's been good RPing with you.

Nicks on IRC channels are determined by using the /nick command once you're connected to a server. If you have a standalone IRC client like ircii (like I use because I'm a real man and use the command line) or Bersirc (which is what I suggest if you're a Windows user only), type the following once you have your client open (works on both Bersirc and ircii):

Code: Select all

/server irc.rizon.net
/nick YOUR_NICK_HERE
/j #NS_CoPS


Bersirc allows you to set your nick permanently by navigating to "Tools > Manage profile...". ircii involves editing a configuration file (which also allows you to set up servers to automatically connect you to at launch; otherwise, it defaults to your logon username, at least in the Linux versions).

Some other useful commands:

/who * - lists everyone connected to the channel you're in (be sure to include the asterisk (*) for this to work right; doesn't work in some graphical clients since they already list all the users in the UI)
/nick - sets nickname
/j OR /channel - sets the channel (#NS_CoPS is ours)
/bye - quits the IRC client on ircii and other command-line clients (doesn't work on Bersirc and some other graphical ones)
/help - lists all commands on some clients

If you're a Windows user, I suggest you bite the bullet and download Bersirc from the link above, since it's free, open source, and pretty damn good. If you're a Linux or Mac OS X user, you probably have ircii already installed, but a quick Google search for "[OPERATING_SYSTEM_HERE] irc client" will give you some more options.

/me is useful as well. It's used for actions.

I knew I was forgetting one.

[Equestrian States]

Good to see some decent action on the IC thread. Even if it is just the applications.

Also, Equestria Cup II MD6 Results.

Applications are epic...

I kinda want to join security council.. how do I do that?

We have a Security Council? Do they actually do anything?

Since I posted there like a year ago, they only advanced 2 pages

Good question. That thing's collecting an epic amount of dust...

[Licana]

No.

[New Amerik]

Hmmm...

I have to ask, even though I understand the nature of freeform roleplay and so forth, would it be possible to establish relationships and ponies coming from an origin other than the default FiM universe in particular? I've been thinking about how my IC nation would ever actually entertain pony immigrants at all, and while I've come up with an interesting idea (Especially if I could turn it into an almost freeform roleplay in the process), I'm not so sure how others would react given its divergence from generally accepted canon.

In essence, my thought on a possible way to introduce ponies into the Holy Tee was to have one of their various military transport ships/civilian transport ships/trade vessel/diplomatic envoys (one of the above) accidentally get temporarily waylaid in a foreign and unknown universe, and have to land on the surface of a nearby planet in order to reorganize themselves and find a way to get back to the HT. The planet itself, however, is an alternate kinda Equestrian world - one in which the Royal Sisters never showed up to lead and/or Equestria was never founded - around the time of the Origin of Equestria setting. As such, the various cultures/species are not organized, and over time the Amerikan's plans turn from "get home" to "conquer world in name of Technocracy" to "help these Equines out and start forming ties between them and the Holy Technocracy in a vassal/friend like relationship". Cue wacky misadventures, some violent culture clashing, and eventually Ponies - and a reason to join the COPS, if they can get that whole 'speciesism' issue settled, ICwise.

On the one hand, there are some interesting ideas I feel like trying out (like Hoerses as a serious and sapient species, heh), but on the other hand...well, it really wouldn't be the FiM verse now, would it?

Thoughts/advice/dingoes?

Considering that the canon characters are dispersed across the respective nations, I had always thought there was no single "default" MLP:FiM universe. But of course, that is a question for the other members to answer.
