[Coldnar]

I'd like to imagine Coldnar as a half loony PTSD driven army doctor after that six hour staring session. MASH flashbacks!
Also: Whoa dude... im just figuring it out. Ponies are to horses what dwarves are to humans. Shorter, hardier, hairier.

[Splint]

Probably not quite the most accurate description on these particular ponies. Shorter hell yeah. Hairier and hardier.... unless that hardier comment was on them being able to survive on more stuff than horses I don't think that works either. Hairier I guess depends on the pony.

MLP pony hits you in the head you get a bruise usually (This has been from recent fights in a thing I'm running elsewhere.) Unless it's a buck, in which case I hope you have a helmet.

Horse hits you in the head, you may as well have been standing in the path of a particle accelerator, head protection or not (or any hoofed creature larger than a human hitting you for that matter.)

Ah, pointless rant of the day complete.

A wonderful read good thing Replica. Wonderful read indeed.

>"Unfortunate Accidents"
Hunting, there is ALWAYS an unfortunate accident.  That is the one truth.  It will set somepony free.

>Lojack
Lazy and crazy, I'm ok with that.

I'd bet that most hits from a horse are in the form of a buck or a curbstomp.  The rest probably come in the form of a good push to set you up for an even better curbstomping.

Its true MLP ponies are basicly delicate toy people ALA the races from the later Wizard of Oz books; my experiance with REAL ponies is that they are used in less habitable climates then horses can tolerate. Usally colder climes and are thus hairier. Even the ponies bred to be rich peoples living toys are much fuller of coat and mane in general. Though there are cold climate horses that are hulking and covered in fuzz we really don't see them in western media.

So thus it is headcannon that they speak in scottish accents, swear and drink alot. Also they hate elves.

[Splint]

The image of a steppe dwelling, shaggy, inebriated pony screaming obscenities at those not of his kind are quite hilarious for me to imagine.

[Maklak]

The closest stand-in we have for elves is Zebras, at least in "Fanon is Magic" or whatever it's called these days. If there are Zebras in this mod, what should they be anyway? Enemies? A rare caste of pony, like Dashites?

My knowledge of horses is limited, but I too have heard that bigger varieties of ponies / smaller varieties of horses were often used in hard climates.

I just looked up some images of ponies and many of them have fur on their ankles, like "Big Brother Ponies" from season 1. It kinda looks like natural socks.

EDIT: Oh and in my country there is a saying "We will not kick each other with a horse." It means not fighting senseless battles with superior enemy.
EDIT2: > And we have a saying "know each other like bald horses"... dafuq, Poland?
Tak. Nawet na polskim forum MLP opisywałem swoje przygody z tym modem (tzn. tłumaczyłem Ponderplanned z angielskiego.) http://mlppolska.pl/Watek-Gram-w-moda-Fallout-Equestria-do-Dwarf-Fortress--4606

[Splint]

Zebras are also the stand-ins for the rampage mod (or friendship is MAGMA) if you prefer. haven't tried to trade wood with them but I'd rather not piss them off.

They have metals too.

If a horse kicks you, you are bound to break something.
If a horse gores you, you will get fucked up.
If a horse hits you with it's forehooves, you'll get break your shit.

I once rode a horse and got a bit to close to the horse in front of me (the leader of our group), his stallion kicked my mare and broke her jaw.

>Never rode a horse after that again

So, there are good news and bad news.

The good news is that I had migrants not even fifteen minutes after I loaded my save.

The bad news is that I had 30 of them in one go, and Pineapple is only really prepared for 25.
With a pop of 46 ponies all focus goes to getting wood and food supplies up, so caverns will be breached soon.

For the next entry ☼!!Troll Fur Sock!!☼, Rinahrific and Fr0stByt3 all made it in, there was a caste that fit Indigo's request, a weaponsmith, except that it was a stallion so Indie wont be making it as of now.
TFS (Leaf) was scavenged off a generic earth pony herbalist/farmer, she has siege engineering, mechanics and woodcrafting labors enabled (all skills that have horrible shit rates for EP's) but I'll train her accordingly along with the other specialist players.
Rinahrific was as lucky as to get a master doctor caste, which pretty much lets him be really awesome at all five medical skills despite being a filthy unicorn (and fat, but I'll work the fat off him because I am a nice guy like that and because medics are a waste of space when there are no wounded to take care of).
Frostbyte got his earth pony miner, with a slight change which I hope he'll be fine with, his pony is a martial expert ("composed in both body and mind") so that essentially means that he is in the army, and that he will be kicking the shit out of everything whenever he isn't mining... well, everything.

The migrant wave had an unusual large number of martial ponies, so I'll be setting up a barehoofed kung fu squad next time I play and have them trained in the ways of the ancient shaolin pony monk fighting styles, these will train CONSTANTLY and have only one month off per year, still debating whether to place Frost Byte in this squad or keep him on a looser schedule.

More details will be given in the day 6 summary, which can be anywhere between this weekend and the next.
New character profiles will be uploaded over the night.

Pragmatism is especially attractive in the wastelands (If anyone's going to live it might as well be your guys, right? ), though pony nature calls for altruism and sacrifice.

I enjoyed how you played the dichotomy between the two in this update.

A pre-war Zebra legionnaire on the front lines of the Zebra-Equestrian front, shortly before the Zebras launched their megaspells and obliterated pony civilization;



(Not that this is what they'll be, but I thought the concept was pretty cool)

> Fighty Monk Ponies

How will they fare against the ghoul hords, tho?

> Zebras

So, something akin to PH's Reminant?

[ZebioLizard2]

Hows it going man? Been a while

Sorry, i've been a bit busy as of lately, life stuffs, other projects, Splint business, the usual.

I can't make any promises for when the next update is up, but I can tell ya that its gonna be somewhat big (probably?).
Three new participants and lots of migrants (ALL of whom survived, because I am such an engineering wiz) there is plenty of options and ideas to go from.

So "soonish".
