No, SCREW what I said earlier.
How about we dig down to the cotton candy, invite the clowns to our fortress, and then tame them with the power of friendship?
And how about we combine THAT with Corai and a knife?

Personally, if I had to choose a psychotic unicorn over a robot that can explode and shoot lasers, I'd pick the psychotic unicorn mare due to the fact that the unicorn would be snuggly.

This. SNUGGLES FOR ALL. Even if the thing giving them is violent, crazy, and won't let you go.

If it wouldn't let go, then I would give it lovestabs until it did. Lovestabs always work. Always.

Of course, I'll only accept the unicorn if she is only violent towards her enemies and is at least sane enough to have a conversation with.
Oh, she can't be a sociopath/psychopath either.

How about we combine minigun turrets, detonating sprite-bots, and war protectaponies with a group of power-armored chainsaw-wielding psychotic unicorn mares and a group of scorpion power-armored anti-machine rifled psychotic unicorn mares?

And barbed wire.

Sweet jesus.
War is over, we won the wasteland, pack it up lads, we are going home to Lemon!

Going to run Day 3 now, here is hoping that it wont end up being as retarded long as Day 2 was.

[ZebioLizard2]

Whatever ya do we'll continue to watch with interest. 

[Replica]

So this is what I have been doing for the last... 14 hours.



Nah, but I got lazy and basically spent the entire day chilling and doing absolutely nothing at all.

So unfortunately I didn't quite finish the story bit today. Sorry about that.

Realistically speaking adding a story bit for every day is not going to work out in the long run, they just take too long to write compared to my old stable reports.
Not saying I wont do story bits anymore, but don't expect them every day, and don't expect a full story bit for every session either, I might skip them sometimes or just shorten them down to just one particular event or series of events instead of including everything.
This isn't how I wanted this little project to go, but you know, shit happens, even Replica has IT'S limits (and no Corai, its not "it", you racist bastard).

Anyways, this is the summary for day 3, tomorrow (sunday) I'll finish the story bit for day 3.
Spoilers for Day 3 story bit?
Lycaeon POV, Pokon, Pineapple backstory.

Spoiler: Gameplay Summary (click to show/hide)

Day 3

The five migrants are sorted out.
Pokon is married with one of them and has a grown son amongst them.
Pokon's family all have low military skills of some form and useless castes (teacher, stoneworker and broker, which we already have) so they are all drafted into our currently inactive military.
The other two become farmer/brewer and medical pony respectively.
Unfortunately our medical pony is an earth pony, and because of racism we can't appoint her to become our chief medical pony, she'll just have to do something else for now and become a nurse later on.

Aqueducts are smoothed out completely.

Replica's office, the control room, is expanded, furnished and smoothed out.
Yeah so 5 tables isn't entirely neccesary I agree, but it does look pretty rad, I've never really furnished rooms with more furniture than needed, might consider making some more just for shits and giggles while we still have time to spare.

The pit drowning and disposal chamber is dug out and largely smoothed out, it's not quite done yet though.



Two puppies are born in the general goods stockpile.

The brook is dug through, the water flows as expected and the two wells are active and safe.
Pineapple now has running water. Hurray!

A trading depot is built, but obviously there is no access to it.
Better have one ready anyway for now.



The mess hall is smoothed out, our narrow minded technicolor horsies are happier for it.

3 more puppies are born in the mess hall.
Dogs? Or rabbits? You tell me.
With LUCK we might be able to cause a dogsplosion, more dogs mean more war dogs, and more war dogs means vastly improved chances of winning fights against ghouls.
In DF numbers will in most cases win over individual strength (IF THE NUMBERS HAVE ANY CHANCE OF DAMAGING THE SINGLE UNIT), I would assume that 10 rabid dogs and 1 pony would do more damage and confuse a ghoul reaver more than 1 pony alone.
And dogs? In the words of Josef Stalin when referring to his people, they are a renewable resource, all I have to do is set up breeding pairs once we get a few going and we are set.



HUGE area is dug out, it is exactly the size of a maximum sized stockpile.
This stockpile becomes our new "all goods general pony hoard" until our industries gradually develop and we split things up more.



More migrants arrive, we risk our luck again with two reavers above.
As the migrants make a beeline to our wall breach one of the reavers begins chasing after them.
The pony being chased makes a heroic selfless dash (actually means that the AI is mentally dense and ran without really thinking ahead) to the bottom right corner of the map where the other reaver was at.
While they murderized the pony the others went below ground and the entrance was sealed, which unfortunately left one bighorner and brahmin kid just outside, I am a bit too worried about just letting them in so I am leaving them out for now.
Checking the unit list I see that we actually lost two migrants, the other, a miner, was killed.
Also apparently one of OUR units is marked as an enemy and "Opposed to life", I can still change her labors via therapist and she shows up as a soldier in our melee squad, combat log shows nothing on her, she just spontaneously became opposed to life apparently.
I am suspecting that she might cause a loyalty cascade if we attack her, but I don't want to cheat-kill her, so I am leaving her up there on the surface for now.
In the absolute worst case scenario we'll just have to savescum it and cast her into obsidian or something.

The migrants are sorted out.
5 of them survived, the 6th is, like I said, opposed to life.
3 of them are drafted into our military and the remaining 2 are given other tasks.
One of the two civies becomes our chief medical pony, he is an unicorn.
Our other civie becomes a farmer, he "embodies the earth pony nature" which essentially means that he is the coolest guy ever and instantly one of my favorites, also did I mention that his name is Sky Wash?
The militaries are 2 rifleponies and 1 knifepony. Still no barracks though, we don't have the manpower to spare right now, maybe after we get some training weapons and shields out.
Then of course, for that we need wood, which we don't have.
So the military goes on to fuck itself and sit on its hooves for now while I plan things out.

Fresh Edit:

[P(ony)SI]

Yeah, you have a potential loyalty cascade.
In this case, it's okay to cheat-kill her.

Shame to see that you won't always do stories, but it's okay.

[Splint]

It can get tedious to do so. I have decided to do so with Limulid and at times my updates there can be lackluster, especially since I don't do any summery of the gameplay because it isn't the gameplay overall that mattered there, but the story it made.

And wait.... Didn't we only have one melee soldier? or was it one of the new arrivals?

[Replica]

Limulid huh?
I should read it, when I have some time to spare.

The problem isn't just that its tedious to write, its that I have other projects aside from Pineapple to write, I apologize for this bit of shameless self advertising but I got this among other things to write.
It just feels hard to make time for the various projects, actually reading something aside from my own work and having a couple of hours of general spare time to do something other than reading and writing.
I wish there were more Replica to go around, or at least more hours a day.

Units, our current rooster lies at this:
Melee Squad A - 5 ponies
Rifle Squad A - 4 ponies

Our melee squad is technically at 4 since one of the knifeponies assigned to it is opposed to life.
The new blood comes from the two migrant waves. A good start for a stable of 17.
We'll need as much ponypower we can get for a future breakthrough operation.

[Lycaeon]

No worries on the stories part. While they are nice, I'm perfectly fine with ordinary Stable reports, so whatever suits your schedule is best.

I can tell you now that killing an opposed to life pony won't cause a loyalty cascade, though I'm not sure how she became so, unless she got exposed to radiation and turned into a ghoul.

[P(ony)SI]

Lies.
In my first comm fort, I killed one of those "opposed to life" ponies, and my military went batshit on each other.

She counts an unit under my control for the military, noble positions and therapist, but appears as an NPC stable dweller on the map and is marked as a hostile "opposed to life" unit in the unit list. She is not a ghoul.
There has been no irradiated storms, or any storms for that matter on the map and there is no combat report in which she is involved.

[Splint]

I know it'll be shot down, but there's always trying the makeown command or fix migrant. otherwise i see no way around the issue and her death can be blamed on ghouls (Unless it's PSI, in which case sadfaic)

[Replica]

It's worth a shot.
But she'll die anyway, I am not entirely sure I'd like to risk opening the wall again to let a single pony inside.
And nah, it's not PSI, she is down in the hollows being a dick to Corai.
