    But, why Rainbow Dash; it should be Rarity there. I'll let Spike sum up my reaction.

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    Oh! I wanna eat bananas! I don't know why but bananas are not allowed on this forum. (it was originally opium in the game, but Nintendo censored it. And yet they let the Medusa enemy sprite in the previous game through. )

    I'd be pretty surprised if anypony here actually recognizes The Final Fantasy Legend games.

    So Rainbow Dash has a pet... butterfly? That's still a caterpillar?

    That's certainly... unique, I guess.

    My favorite example is the TOS-1 Buratino heavy flamethrower. They don't care if the abbreviation sounds cool or not, if it's pronounceable or not (try to say PZRK (Man-portable air-defense system)). They have the most 'correct' and compound phrase for the object to be named, abbreviate that and add a number to the end. Sometimes some letters after that to distinguish modifications. Then they add a cool (or, in the case of Buratino, silly) name. Would you name a flamethrower Pinocchio?

    What does that mean for you? I have no idea. What exactly does EVA do? You just say just that, add "system" to the end, translate, abbreviate, add a random number, and then something like "Matryoshka" or "Beryozka" as a name. Here you go, all done. If you want, I can do the translating.
    Specifically, it's for a Command & Conquer Red Alert-style briefing, where the AI introduces itself to the Eurasian Solar Union commander (the ESU being Russia+China as a superpower, now with added extra cheesey Red Alert Soviet flavour).

    If you're not familiar with C&C (why not?! It's awesome!), the EVA (which is what the GDI called it in C&C main, and was a woman called Lt EVA in Red Alert 2 and 3 (the bloke's voice in RA 1 that did the same job was never addressed in universe.) It's the thingy that gives you your briefing and makes helpful statements like "Reinforcements have arrived," "Constructon complete," "Unit lost" and "Missile Launch detected! Ahahaha!" Oh, wait, no, that last one was just CABAL (the Brotherhood of Nod's version, who was the most awesome.)

    Any suggestions you (or anyone else) can make on that front, in part or in whole, are welcome!

    That particular 'E' is pronounced "Eee". So yeah, that is pretty close to EVA. Unfortunately, I don't know enough Russian to really help here. I can read it just find, I just don't know many words. Once you do find something, I can at least help with pronunciation.
    Between you, me and fizmat, we might even get somewhere...!



    Also, I think we've said this before, but Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy would make awesomely hilarious EVAs (and Celestia and Twilight more practically awesome ones.) Rarity...yeah not so much. Not because she isn't awesome (because she is), but because she'd keep nagging you on how untidy your base is, and complaining that the enemy side's colours just don't match your defences...

    Aw. Feel better soon. Also, I guess shoulder ponies would be cute. And useful, to boot. It'd be like having a familiar to assist you. But now I'm imagining being woken up at the crack of dawn by a pony partner who's tired of watching you sleep.

    Nintendo and bananas reminds me of StarTropics. Man, Nintendo must have been bananas about bananas back then.

    And yes, I played the FFL series. Beat the first (yay Hydra petrifying breath!) and third games. Never the second, though - for some reason, every time I played the Fist/Kick weapon suddenly spiked to 999 damage for a few hits and then dropped back down to 1 damage a hit, and it always happened when fighting viruses inside the Giant. That became... very annoying, about the third time playing the game. I perferred FF Adventure anyways.

    I understand that the whole Saga series - Saga Frontier, Romancing Saga - was a continuation of Final Fantasy Legend, much as Secret of Mana was a continuation of Final Fantasy Adventure.

    Hooray, there is somepony else who has actually played these games!

    Sure, some of the programming is a bit wonky in those games, but I still prefer to play SaGa, because Final Fantasy is too mainstream.

    But, how would you make a Yuri pony? Wouldn't you need at least two for that? Unless, Yuri is her special talent, or she has some sort of self-replicating ability.

    Those were some of my favorite games as a kid, actually. What I don't understand is why they picked opium in the first place. The whole thing was a cover for smuggling Magi, right? Why disguise them as something illegal?

    While he's incapitated I'll explain what happened.
    He just gathered up a bunch of friends and got a guy who was being kind of down of ponies a massive blast of orbital friendship cannon.
    All in the spirit of good fun.

    So much friendship.

    He got sent an orbital friendship strike from 9 different people. It kind of broke him.

    That makes a lot more sense. But, it's awfully mundane for a plot to attain godhood. And downright silly with the censorship.

    On a more pony related note, Derpy is adorable.

    Tesla Coil totally count. Tesla Coils count like the fist of an angry god.

    Especially since it was my first thought too.

    The ESU comes from the Full Thrust background, wherein the other powers include the New Anglian Confederation: (most of) the US and Canada united under the British crown (you cant tell this is a British set of rules, can't you!), the Federal Stats Europa (France and half or Europe), the Neu Swabin League (Germany and the other half), the Imperial Japanese and several more. All of which we tend to boil down to humorous national steriotypes and thus maximise the stupid accent usage. (I have a space fleet called the Galactic Liberation Armada -

    Red Alert is a seperate continuity to C&C regular, diverging after/during the events in Red Alert 1 (which is basically set in the 1950s) Red Alert 2 (and later 3) is some years later, and is still thus before the higher-tech sci-fi of Tiberian Dawn.

    Pony worms? Well, aside from sounding very wrong, that might be worth looking into...



    Actually, the Mane cast would probably make great voice-overs for C&C units. So as too keep mildy on topic ('specially since it's me dragging us off to C&C again!), while we're at it, who would be best at voicing what unit (and don't limit it to C&C, go nuts with any RTS!)

    Especially since it was my first thought too.

    Prism/Spectrum towers are a close second.



    And them, too.



    The ESU comes from the Full Thrust background, wherein the other powers include the New Anglian Confederation: (most of) the US and Canada united under the British crown (you cant tell this is a British set of rules, can't you!), the Federal Stats Europa (France and half or Europe), the Neu Swabin League (Germany and the other half), the Imperial Japanese and several more. All of which we tend to boil down to humorous national steriotypes and thus maximise the stupid accent usage. (I have a space fleet called the Galactic Liberation Armada -

    Spoiler
    Show


    - which is exactly what it sound like. And allows me to quote that other wonderful quote minefield of C&C Generals. (Suicide shuttles => "GLA postal service!" AIAIAIAIAIAIAI!)



    Red Alert is a seperate continuity to C&C regular, diverging after/during the events in Red Alert 1 (which is basically set in the 1950s) Red Alert 2 (and later 3) is some years later, and is still thus before the higher-tech sci-fi of Tiberian Dawn.



    Umm, okay, what about something like, Integrated Battlefield Command Adjutant?

    (I like "adjutant".)





    Pony worms? Well, aside from sounding very wrong, that might be worth looking into...



    Actually, the Mane cast would probably make great voice-overs for C&C units. So as too keep mildy on topic ('specially since it's me dragging us off to C&C again!), while we're at it, who would be best at voicing what unit (and don't limit it to C&C, go nuts with any RTS!)

    That said, Derpy for Kirovs.

    Okay, that is one time I'll grant you Derpy is better than Ditzy, because the "r" in it is perfect for the psuedo-Soviet accent; and "Derrpy rreporting!" would just sound awesome.

    I'll never understand the insistence that Ditzy is a better name than Derpy. I'm aware of the common arguments that 'she was called Ditzy in the show' and 'Derpy sounds too mean', but... well, the pony known as 'Ditzy Doo' never actually showed up on screen (she was too busy flying North to collect the southern birds), and...

    Well, saying that Derpy is too mean for a name and then happily trotting out Ditzy as the replacement is like saying, "Don't call her a retard. That's mean. Call her a moron instead! "

    Forgive me if those reasons are not your own, I really can't recall. It's just seeing the argument hinted at dug up memories and thoughts, and I have no inhibitors right now so I'm set very firmly on 'blabber'.

    Okay, so you only meant Filly!SiuiS, but I'll be darned if I can't get the only form of blackmail that will work on anyone, even a goddess: cute baby pictures!
    Also, darn you to heck. I was out. I had moved past this whole 'fillies' thing. Now I'm caught in the whirlwind of adorable again, and it's all your fault. Meanie.

    I see the sodium pentathol is working nicely. :)

    But yeah, that's pretty much my whole reason for preferring Derpy.

    I see Australia is absent. I assume because it became a radioactive wasteland. This setting and 2140 still have something in common.

    Umm, okay, what about something like, Integrated Battlefield Command Adjutant?
    (I like "adjutant".)
    "Интегрированный" sounds too buzzwordy for a real military name. Battlefield doesn't translate well.
    I like "adjutant" too. But every time I try to think of a full name, my brain wants me to end with ".. system". That is realistic, but way too predictable, boring and doesn't accommodate "adjutant" at all.

    The thing is, it's hard to imagine a military name for such a thing, because it's hard to imagine the military ever using the thing. If they need something, it has to be repairable by bits of string and swearing at it. The EVA is too easily emulated by a person and some signal lights.
