Coalition of Ponyist States OOC & Sign-Up

I have thought that the ponies do not know each other... however, I would LOVE to do an RP where the ponies suddenly remember EVERYTHING except how they got here... wouldn't that be cool?

[YellowApple]

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?

Sounds good.

It's up to you. I myself tie the canonical characters I use into their Equestrian background (like Bastion Yorsets being a professor at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, as in the show he was among the judges for Twilight's entrance exam, which led to the YellowApple Department of International Relations hiring him for his experience in understanding foreign cultures).

And the Equestria Cup's Group Stage is complete!

Congratulations to those who made the playoffs, and thanks to those who participated but did not advance.

[The Equine Dominion]

Nation Name: The Commonwealth of the Equine Dominion
Why do you want to RP with CoPS?: The Dominion has a majority Pony population (87%)

If none exist, please write a short story in order to demonstrate your writing abilities:

Clara sat at her desk, sippng tea from her teacup. Her appointment had ended earlier than she had expected. She sighed. The Prime Minister of the Dominion was a busy post.
"Martyn," she called, "who has me booked next?"
Her secretary, Martyn, answered through the open door.
"Harold FitzGerald from the Communist party is requesting permission to rally in the Jacobston square next Thursday. He's due in five minutes."
We've still got a communist party? thought Clara. Well, I'll have to get on to Parliament about that...
"Send him in," she called to Martyn.
A few moments passed and FitzGerald stepped in. Clara looked at him with mild disgust. She hated the humans. So pink... She longed for nothing more than to eliminate them, but alas, she knew parliament would never allow her to do that. Ban the opposition, maybe. Kill the humans? Not a chance.
"Hello, Mr FitzGerald. How can I help you?"
FitzGerald slid his glasses up his long, pink nose.
"Well, Miss Clara, as I'm sure you know, my Comrades and I are seeking permission to rally in the Jacobston square next Thursday,"
"I see..." Clara nodded. "And tell me, Mr FitzgGerald, how many members are currently in the party?"
FitzGerald looked taken aback. "Excuse me?"
"Answer the question, please."
"Ni... ninety-two. Why?"
Clara looked at him. "Ninety-two members, Mr FitzGerald. Far from a majority party. I'm afraid I must decline."
"Decline?" said FitzGerald. "But, come on! We've barely even started speaking!"
"Keep a civil tongue in your head, Mr FitzGerald," said Clara irritably. "Your party does not hold a serious position in the Dominion. To give you the venue would be pointless."
FitzGerald turned bright red. "You... you fascist! You freedom-hating fascist!"
Clara tapped the button on her desk. "Security, please escort Mr FitzGerald from my office."
Two fierce-looking ponies in sharp black uniforms stepped into the office, grabbing FitzGerald. They hauled him out of the room.
"You goddamn fascist! You'll never get away with this!"
Clara turned her chair, looking out the window. "Communists and their ideals..." she sighed.

Which means that you've successfully punched a hole in the Fourth Wall and inserted yourself into the NationStates universe Red Alert style.

I'm impressed.

Anyway, on a more on-topic topic, I'm resuming work on the BitType Oral Input Device, so ponies can use computers with their mouths like they do pencils (bringing the Obligatory Response partially on-topic, oddly enough, since that's one of the episodes which demonstrate ponies writing with their mouths).

Hmmm, AI's, we have one, Eternal Silence, and we had the extremely smart idea of putting it in control of our Ballistic Missile Program and our Certainly Not Nuclear Weapons

So that makes your name Aiden Eades? Cool.

My nation name is YellowApple, which is my screen name in many places (starting with Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, where it was mysteriously assigned to me already for whatever reason, and since I was too lazy to change it, it stuck). Does not correlate at all to my actual name (though in high school I once tried to start a band called Mister Apples. That was a hilarious fail, but in hindsight it appears my apple-based themed naming was fate).

In Bethlehem, at an ice cream shop; two ponies were exchanging licks of chocolate sundae.

"So," March asked to the other pony.

"Yes?" asked a familiar voice. That was the voice of President Coffee, who took office in 2012. Yep, that Coffee.

"How are you today, mademoiselle?"

"I am good, and I bet you are doing fine, mademoiselle?"

"Yes, I am. How is your time in power been?"

"It has been good. We got closer and closer with our special ally within the COPS."

"Lemme guess, Hippostania?"

"Yes, you are right." That was when Coffee took a breath. "I know this chocolate sundae tastes good. I think I might as well declare it the national ice cream store of the Christian Republic."

"Don't you have to get it passed in Congress?" March asked.

"Oh, I forgot," she realized. As they kept having it, they kept having a conversation, until Coffee had to go back to the Oval Office.

"Well, it is nice to see you, March."

"And it was nice to see you, your Excellency."

Indeed, that was when the President Coffee headed back to her office, and March headed to her job. What a lovely morning, how bites of ice cream can trigger large discussions...

I should say that your NSwiki is quite good, you just have to fix that infobox.

However what concerns me is that your writings in RPs aren't even convincing as you tend to write short posts. Even if it's long, you write it in lines, not in proper paragraphs (like the short story you gave in the app). The same about your roleplaying skills. Of course it's all could be fixed, however there's also how you act or play when roleplaying. The last thing I remember about you is when there's that Shrillland Defaults. Do I have to remind you when you suddenly come out of nowhere and threatened naval blockade to Shrilland for a ridiculous reason and the OP has to retcon his involvement with the blockade? I also looked through your posts, hoping for an improvement from you. But I failed.

I won't say the other things, I believe everypony already know about them.

In short, I vote NO

Okay, I'm not sure if the RP members (but not an IC member) can vote. Presumably we can, and in this case I vote nessuno. Your RPing isn't up to scratch and some of the examples I've seen are pretty reprehensible.
