FAQs

Q: How dark is this RP?
A: Somewhere below 'Happy Sunshine Fun Land' and above 'Hopeless'. Happy endings are the bulk of life, but the possibility always exists for a sad ending. Darkness also runs rampant across the world and is always lurking outside the safe walls of town.

Q: What is the tech level?
A: I think the general consensus is 'Steampunk' right now. There may be occasional alien technology influence as well.

Q: What is the general policy on weapons?
A: Equestria is an armed society right now. Every military member, including the common town guards, carries a potentially lethal weapon with them everywhere, even off duty. Even civilian ponies are commonly seen carrying weapons. However, it is standard practice to never draw your weapon unless you intend to use it. Drawing a weapon, for whatever reason, is considered a hostile act by most ponies.

Q: How dangerous is the town of Bridle Shores?
A: Interesting question. The town has seen much more than its fair share of action and odd occurrences over the years since its founding, and no one can say why this is. Skirmishes with monsters at one or more town entrances happen almost daily, and certain loud noises are common enough that they no longer enough by themselves to induce a panic in any town resident. That said, the Town Guard and Militia are good at what they do, and few things are a high enough threat level to greatly disrupt life in the town for long. In D&D terms, this is a town where your neighbor is likely to have one or more levels in a PC class.

Q: How are threats classified?
A: Threat Ranks (guidelines):

F-Rank - Helpless. No threat at all.
E-Rank - Mild threat. Only about as dangerous as an average civilian.
D-Rank - Competent combatant. Not something a pony could be expected to defeat without combat training.
C-Rank - Dangerous combatant. Not something your average soldier could defeat reliably.
B-Rank - Highly dangerous. Defeating something like this is what makes your average heroes. Super-Mook/Sub-Boss/Early Boss status.
A-Rank - Extremely dangerous. 'You and what army?' is no longer a joke at this point. Big Sub-Boss/Late Boss status.
A-Rank+ - Army Killers, unofficial ranking. No official is really willing to admit that such dangers even exist at all. End boss status.

Q: Where is the Roleplay thread?
A: There's a link to it right below.

Q: Where can I post my character and find info on existing characters and backstory?
A: There's a link to that below too.

That's what happens when ponies are involved.

[Mystic Muse]

So-Soft would kill everyone named Reginald!?Yes, I know what Regicide really is.

Key word there being "Accused of" she would never attempt Regicide. At least not without a very good reason, whether that's the killing of anybody named "Regi" something or killing her liege.

I think I might be able to pull off crazy Celestia in a way that Soft would be willing to help her.

Alright. Want to RP it out?

[Crisis21]

Alright. Want to RP it out?

Sure. Just be aware that things are a bit nuts here today, so my frequency may be affected.

[Benson]

Nghh..

deadtiming. Darn these family outings getting in the way of crazy grimdark ponies! xD

[TheAmishPirate]

Two thoughts:

1) What happens to Icy/Esmeralda when she's within Handsome's anti-magic field? I think we might find out soon.

2) Airship crew...looking for parts...went to Public Works Guild yesterday...no memory/alibi of previous night...

Uh oh.

[Mystic Muse]

Sure. Just be aware that things are a bit nuts here today, so my frequency may be affected.

Alright. Mind posting first? I'll monitor the thread. Or if you have posted, just inform me. I've just checked the latest page is all.

Heh heh.

EDIT: Also, Crisis, I think you're behind a few posts in the Icy vs Rose saga.

[HalfTangible]

The words 'burn bitch' kick Handsome into action and he tries the door. If it doesn't open, he breaks it down. Any magic reinforcing it fails when he does so.

Once he gets in, he sees one of the mares trying to simultaneously drown and scald the other to death. He rushes the mass of water and slaps it with his hoof. Immediately, the magic holding it in place falters and the water splashes to the ground. He draws his gun and trains it on the other mare, uncertain who exactly is attacking whom here.

"Now, why don't you two stop trying to kill each other and tell me what this is all about?"

You're a little behind there :P

[Crisis21]

You're a little behind there :P

Ninja-edited it to be current.

Water stops switching them until he's left. That's all. And her Ice magic goes on the fritz too, but I don't think that's what you meant.

Posting Now, She's going to start off rough, but that's not entirely her fault.

In a way that's not what I meant, but that answers my question.

Also, I'm not sure if Rockem knows if Sandy had stopped by or not. The engineer he talked to might have brought it up once things had been stolen.

[Grif]

Augh! Yellow colour burns!

Use this?

Rockem knows everything that goes on in the guild. Or at least everything of any note. A visit for special-order parts would definitely be of interest to him.

Also, assume that Sandy was offered help delivering the parts to the ship when they come in.

@Soft - Posted.

[Mystic Muse]

@Soft - Posted.

Thank you. Responded.

D'oh. Completely misread Rockem's response and thought he was talking about one of his own crew, not the airship crew. My bad. >.<

*Tries it*

Ooh! That's much better. Thank you!

[Mystic Muse]

So, who could Soft trust with this? Or should she do it by herself? I don't want her to as that seems kind of like spotlight hogging, but I'm just not sure who she could trust with something this sensitive other than Smoothie.

[Grif]

Shell Shock could be an option, given that he used to be a merc and paid not to ask questions. (Although I bet Soft wouldn't be pleased if he accidentally blew up... something valuable.) By the same cue, Dreamrunner is available, though her connection with the military now could complicate things...

Not sure who else you could trust really. Zach? Maybe M&M?

Zach she wouldn't trust. Was attacking the town and such far too recently. Not really certain who "M&M" refers to. Mika and Mica?

[Grif]

Yeah Mike and Mica. Heck I think Eric/Roy might be open to this, they've been shown to be pretty open-minded.

[Crisis21]

I would like to personally keep my other characters out of this plot until a later time. Yes, they would be good candidates to trust, but I have other plans for them right now.

This seems like a quest you play close to your chest until you realize how far you're in over your head. Right now, the fewer who know, the better in my opinion.

[Mystic Muse]

True. I was just hoping there'd be a way to involve somebody other than just Crisis and I, and have it make sense in character.

Very well. Seems like a good idea.

[MCerberus]

Would it be a good time to spin off New Colt City into a 'place' thread if the Manehatten crypt adventure is going to happen on screen?

.....I misspelled 'tome' as 'tomb' again, didn't I? *Goes to fix*

[Grif]

I just realised if Fox's shows up now at Icy's home, it'll be yet another golden opportunity for shenanigans.

Too bad we can't have any alt. Fox and leave the Broncs tale as a bubble adventure of its own and have two Fox's

Do eeeeeettttttttt!

(I assume you have the Broncs adventure wrapping up anyway?)

[Orzel]

Is it not obvious?
Clones.
