The Merry Holiday War (Warning: Has Ponies) (OOC)

[Lolder]

Goodbye, EI.
The Raidan troops are in for a surprise from the drone... *drums fingers all diabolical-like.*

[New Zepuha]

I advise you look back at what I deployed and the ship stats off here: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=175423

specifically these: viewtopic.php?p=14201575#p14201575

and what I'm using right this second, these: viewtopic.php?p=14006689#p14006689

Not strictly MT, yes. But this is not a strict MT Thread.

So yeah. 100 is an eighth of the cards I got just in the detached few ships, without a Warhorse-class ship, and accounting for a few anti-sub and RIM-162 ESSM's

Hey, Ima trying to have fun, tell a legitimate story without getting fucked over.

[Economa Incorporated]

They're useless without direction, and as of right now none are directed towards you

Unfortunately, cannot stay to write. Goodnight!

One of the advertisements basically just read:

"Gypsy Horses for Sale: Click Here!"

Great, not only are gypsies on NationStates becoming lesbians, but they're also becoming equine! What fucking reality is this game going for?!

All jokes aside though, I'm wondering something: Am I doing a good job with this role play so far? I've been getting some compliments here and there for some things I post, and I'm not talking about jokes either, but for actual stuff related to the war. With posts from people like Economa Incorporated and New Zepuha though, I get the feeling I'm not getting something right here. Also the trouble with Johto and Kanto (J&K) and Legokiller trying to get into the game but can't, I think I'm making it difficult for some players to participate in this, and not just because of all the progress so far. Lastly, with players like Khonti and The Strategic Air Command, I think some people even are just not having fun.

Now I'm not slamming the brakes on this game all together; That's not what I'm saying. What I'm asking here is simply: Am I doing a good job with this so far, and what could I do to try and improve it? I'll start posting again in the morning, and I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas/Hearth's Warming. I know I had fun!

I can't see anything wrong......Maybe by miracle the red snow could stop but other then that. My army is fine being stuck in New Nod for the entire war. It gives me a chance to work on Other Role-Plays.

Funny you mention that: I actually planned on having the ponies push the clouds out of at least Eastern Poni with the first post tomorrow! I guess you can consider that a late holiday miracle... I'm not posting now though, for it will take time for me to type it up along with other events. When I type in something for situations like role play, I prefer to make it long and noteworthy.

Well that comes with the inherent problem of allowing any tech. Someone will always be the one upsman and try to obliterate everyone to win. I honestly don't feel like that is the purpose of roleplay, unless of course it's sports. This is going to become a piece of our nations' histories and we should try to tell a decent story, not try our best to one up eachother and win for the sake of proving you can win. This RP also got a bit big, and I usually avoid inflated RPs because if one guy drops out, well balls there went everything.

Who is up scaling who? I mean. I am a Future Tech Nation, but due to what This nation is based off of (Time/Space Travelling) I can Incorporate Modern Tech, CyberPunk, Clockwork, Post-Modern Tech, Future Tech, Far-Future tech and Apolochalyptic Tech.

sadly Steampunk, and past tech is out of my reach. But Thankfully I have so many techs in one nation that I can usually participate in all role-plays.

Unique. This roleplay is odd and I'll try to incorporate it into my history somehow, I doubt it will be canon. But this will roughly be added to my 1970s era history maybe.

I think my nation may be one of the more Unique. I'm waiting for that one Role-Play in where I can use all my Technology.

[Lolder]

Poni, you've done a great job so far, but I would recommend at least a limit on how OP your tech can be. It hasn't been much of a problem yet, however.

[Poni]

Poni, you've done a great job so far, but I would recommend at least a limit on how OP your tech can be. It hasn't been much of a problem yet, however.

A limit on how overpowered Poni and Squeeheart's technology can be? Hmm, now that you mention it some things do seem overpowered, especially what I have planned with the Emperor and the Godfather II. To be fair though, I'll give you a hint as to what the Godfather II is intended for: Dimensional Travel.

I need critical thoughts on how to nerf Poni as a whole. To be honest I have been getting ideas with the Pegasus Enclave and their "secret weapon" that can place a serious dent on Poni should those things combine with something... Poni needs more nerfing than that though. Any ideas?

EDIT: Just a few notes on the Radian Empire: Poni's greatest advantage is their massive population size, which of course has been declining during this war. Poni happens to have numerous weapons due to their arms industry. Poni also used to have a massive fortress for a capital until, you know.

ANOTHER EDIT: As we should already know now, Poni loves to have a lot of WMDs at their disposal. Only Red Snow is being used though due to the fact we should all be using as few WMDs as possible. I was actually wanting to use it later, but the moment just seemed ripe for the destruction of Nightmare's Paradise. You'll inevitably find more WMDs around Area Whiskey and Area 666, because where else are they going to store these weapons?

[Lolder]

A mad dash to get out of Poni as the Godfather II backfires and creates a wormhole.

[Economa Incorporated]

my only complain is that you gave me way to much of poplar terra way to easily
Here I was ready to write out like four posts, next up one for the bombing, one for the attack heli's and multiroles, then the troops landing, then them storming the factories spec-ops style, using all the detail I have for them,.......

but after a night's sleep, I think the best thing I can do is accept it and move on.

Edited my most recent post a bit.

Hmmm...this may help. Scale, scaled down to the same scale as the scale of the scaled down map in the OP.

EDIT: darn you imgur. it should be right NOW

[Lolder]

Economa, do you have an aversion to the "i" in Lolderian?

[Economa Incorporated]

I fixed my last post and will spell it Lolderian from now on but there's no way I'm editing every post!

I always thought is was Lolderan. Lohl-dur-en. Not Lolderian. Lohl-dar-ian.

every time I'm here for hours, no one else is.

I'll be in and out for the next two hours, then absolutely gone for a few. Going to see a movie. Not given a choice in the matter.

[Squeeheart]

I'm currently trying to figure out exactly what I should be typing for each situation right now. I will most likely be getting ready soon to watch "The Hunt for Red October" as well, so in short there will be delays from today. While I was reading through the IC thread posts though, I couldn't help but notice this:

The Time Alliance approached the people when the private who handed the Gypsy the map spotted her. He point her out to Blake. Blake smiled and approached her.
"So you are the Gypsy who gave us the map. I thank you."

The Gypsy turned towards Blake. Her face lit up as she was astounded by his kindness. "Thank you kind sir. I haven't seen or heard of a human in ages. Not since that last one arrived in that other country."

I may be mislead somewhere with my reading, but is this basically stating the gypsy isn't human? If it is, then does this mean there is quite literally a lesbian gypsy pony wandering around Poni Territory freely.

I'm not necessarily asking you to change it if this is the case, I just need clarification on what exactly is going on here.

[Economa Incorporated]

if you just give me a bit about the capitol, Lolder and I can do a bit there without even interacting with the main body of troops outside it.

oh and you can also put the scale in the OP.

I was under the Assumption that since this nation was literally called Poni.......everyone would be...Ponies?....?
I mean I'm just saying......

[Economa Incorporated]

PONI is an acronym, right!?!

[The Time Alliance]

PONI is an acronym, right!?!

I assumed it was based off the inhabitants.... PONI...PONY...

[Economa Incorporated]

"Projects Of Nether Intelligence"

ingnore this factbook until it's edited

[The Time Alliance]

"Pagan Omnipotence of National Imperialism"

[Squeeheart]

First of all, yes, Poni is actually an acronym, and the full name is within the nation's motto:
Projects
Of
Nether
Intelligence

Yeah, I had no idea what to name this nation when I first started off. I seriously need to put in more factbooks!

Secondly, if you read the first paragraph of the OP, you would know the majority population of PONI is human and Poni is the one enslaving ponies.

Lastly, I will post details about the capital, but I need some time! Please be patient!

EDIT: "Pagan Omnipotence of National Imperialism" is the old motto. I changed it because the new motto makes a lot more sense with the government's goals. You see why I need more factbooks?

Time to do some fact-work...
