Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
Speaking of Pony swears I never really like 'Buck' as a swear. It's like saying punch or kick as a swearword and it's only used to get the impression that the ponies are saying ****.
Also it just doesn't sound right. "Buck you!" just sounds odd.Spoiler: I'm a writer!Spoiler: Check out my fanfiction[URL="https://www.fanfiction.net/u/7493788/Forum-Explorer"here[/URL]

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
If you ever want to get a truly disturbing glance into the Pinkamena mindset, consider reading The Cupcake Chronicles. The relevant part is chapters 13 through 16, "The Journal of the Cupcake Killer." Be warned, it's extremely gory and very disturbing. The fic as a whole, though, is one of the things that really drew me into the fandom. Not the best, but certainly among the good fics of the fandom.

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
Hey I had a question for you.
Do you have AotrS written up in your wargames? And how well do they hold up against the Jackyons and Cybertanks in ground and space?
Actually how do the Jackyons do in space period? You told us about some of their land battles but I don't think we've gotten any mention of a space battle yet.Spoiler: I'm a writer!Spoiler: Check out my fanfiction[URL="https://www.fanfiction.net/u/7493788/Forum-Explorer"here[/URL]

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
Of course!
I can only answer the latter, currently. My Aotrs ground force currently exists in 28mm form, and the Jalyrkieons and Cybertanks are both in 144. However, the Aotrs 144 is next on my to do list (indeed, I have already started, with Hunter Drones and the Gloombat and Fallen Soul), as after the Strayvians and Jalyrkieons, I am confident that I can do the infantry. (And, of course, this also means I can do much more accurate versions of the vehicles - given I'm CADing them up, as opposed to the stand-ins I currently use (from a variety of sources).)
As to the space battles then: The Aotrs starfleet has - like the real thing - consistently won every game it has ever been in, in all sets of starship rules it's been used in. The last battle I played with them, was, in fact, against the Jalyrkieons, and it was a complete curb-stomp (unfortunately, as it doesn't make for a very interesting game).
Ironically, the Jalyrkieons had themselves until then been on a winning streak, beating the SSA on a couple of occasions (who had themselves been on a winning streak before that...!)
With the Cybertanks, it really varies. Actually, doing a quick check, they've won consistently a third of their battles in Accelerate & Attack, which is about right, given their tactics... (Though they have probably fought the most, having been in, by a rough count, about 30% of all the games we've played.)
And yet you insist on pursuing me, who is about as LE as they come...
The mind boggles.
Though I can fully understand you feelins towards the Imperium...Last edited by Aotrs Commander; 2012-09-26 at 05:28 PM.

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
I stand by it.
You stepped out of the game first to express that any response your character could give was godmodding ergo would be inherently unfair so the game was over. That's a de facto way of telling me how to play.
Since you stepped out I did as well with my honest opinion. Don't like that opinion okay, but it remains my honest opinion. I also don't waffle around with my wording nor can I tell you anything since I have less ability to effect you then even in real life. Its a blunt and honest assessment of a problem.
I only "roleplay" in ponythread fairly minimally for reasons I could get on quite an extended rant on but the short version is that its for much of what you expressed right there.
However despite the massive disagreements I have with the roleplay I still manage to enjoy the sort of pseudo-characters we all run and why I quietly try to never acknowledge real life, humans, or that I'm really just a dude at a keyboard pretending he's a Nanoha-styled magic user that is also a pony.
Now I won't continue this so everyone else can get back to the pony nonsense. I'll come back tomorrow.

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
A question occurs to me regarding the Army of the Red Spear's record in the system. Why exactly is it that they have such a good record? Is it just a case of good luck and few games, or is it a game-balance issue?
Of course, if it was a game balance issue that's only a problem if that kind of balance is a priority of the game system, rather than say merely modelling the reality of the situation.
Lix - The whole Godmodding thing seems to be quite the psychological triggery thing. That's quite a strong reaction there considering it was in response to an allegation someone might have gone on to make.

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
Not specifically, no. (Of course, I'm navy, not army.) Though I have stats for Undead commanders, which includes my army contemporaries. Though, of course, Manouver Group is not really a weapons factor game (it's more of a tactics simulator, and one that's only interested in modelling effects at that), so not strictly special rules in the way you would get characters in 40K or Warmachine or something, no. (And again, at 12mm, MG's more suited to vehicle games than infantry, which tends to be the better purview of 28mm. One day, when 3D printing gets cheap enough to do 25/28mm...)
Tempted to do a figure suited for me at 144 when the times comes, of course, though whether I will or not entirely depends on how much doing 144 infantry makes my skull leak.

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
Not too many games played (largely because of the aforementioned tendancy to win); largely, it's just a combination of being extremely well optimised for the tactics used (due to our high-tech, long range missiles and Gate drive), and, in the rules, being high tech enough to be extremely dangerous without being phenominally costly, like say, the Shardan.
(Again, it should be noted that AccAtt doesn't really have "special rules" per se for fleets, just a series of common weapon systems of varying tech levels, though only some of which a given race's tech tree will have access to. (The Aotrs is one of the very few races that has non-typical technology1; one unique weapon system in the Drain Cannons, but they're only mounted on one Midnight-D Dreadnought which doesn't come out much, and it's even then not a weapon that does the damage.))
1In the rules, that is, which don't distinguish meanignfully between lazers, partical lasers, coldbeams or disruptors, say, only only broadly between different types of FTL (considering only the relative speed and function (e.g. teleport (us, technically, the SSA warp-drive or the Rift Collective), portal (standard hyperdrive) or "straight-line" (e.g. the Galactic Empire).)Last edited by Aotrs Commander; 2012-09-26 at 05:50 PM.

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
Not taking action doesn't change the power level of a character or persona. What I'm saying, I think, is that if someone has a problem with characters of that kind of power then self restraint won't change their opinion of the situation. Conversely, if someone doesn't have a problem with a character that could do such a thing, I wouldn't imagine that taking action would negatively change their opinion. The nature of the action itself may be a relevant concern, of course, but that's another matter altogether.
"I liquify all of the Kittens. All of them!"
The character itself is not fundementally changed by the presence or absence of action.
Sounds like it could be worth using the Aotrs more often. If it's a statistical fluke, then that should become obvious in time and that would mean you'd be more likely to be able to use them without feeling like it risks making the game less fun or something. If it's not a statistical fluke, then points costs or something could be tweaked to balance them out a little and once again this could mean they get used more (which is surely a good thing).
Or is it the case that the cost is determined by what the units/fleet/etc actually has? So it's literally a quirk of the seperately chosen items that make up an Aotrs ship from a menu of universally fixed cost choices?
As for Infantry Modelling, two thoughts;
When engaging in planetside combat, you would naturally gravitate to an infantry role then? Secondly, if all else fails you could always have your own custom command vehicle designed if CADing yourself on foot turns out to be too infuriatingly fiddly.Last edited by Tiki Snakes; 2012-09-26 at 06:02 PM.

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
Sounds like maybe a bit of righteous fire every once in a while wouldn't be the worst thing. I'm sure you could have incinerated everything around Soras without permanently killing him to make a point.
Oh and I'm not there anymore anyway. *teleports away*
Sounds like the issue, if there is an issue, is that every unit in the Aotrs spacefleet is, for its cost, extremely good at its role. That kind of army is nearly impossible to beat save by a fluke of extreme luck on one side or another. I suppose if I were to try it, it would be by concealing as much information about my own forces as possible. After all, one can't deploy the right tools for the job if one does not know the job first.
