[up][up][up][up]You can't call narm stuff allready under Rule Of Funny.

That was ridiculous for me first time to but later it become more cool, , mostly thants to "Earth Ponies can use food like serious weapon" thing.

[up][up][up]I don't thing one of sides was in bigger danger or had worse goals.

They are like the others. Strange, hideous, resisting, fighting. Only these were not like the others. They did not die.

I like to think that Spike really only has one type of fire that always teleports stuff. Because it's just so funny to imagine Celestia getting a bunch of popcorn dumped on her in Over A Barrel.

Yeah, the pie thing was clearly supposed to be Rule of Funny. That's why I suggested it as the common method of warfare; the idea that an Equestrian air strike involves Pegasi dumping pastries on their foes is hilarious.

^^^But they can't. If you can't call anything from Rule of Funny narm, you can't very well call it canon - not when it's not held up or mentioned anywhere else.

Look at it this way. If earth ponies had some sort of magical racial talent that turned food into weaponry, Applejack's cake would have killed Rarity when Pinkie launched it at the Gala.

^Applejack made the cake and Pinkie, another earth pony, launched it. It should classify as a deadly weapon under those conditions.

[up][up][up][up][up]That when they use them, not just when create them. Also Earth Pony must whant to use it as weapon. And it will not be lethal.

[up][up]Odd, did you just asweared to this post? (Before I posted it).

He's right Death. I don't even like the idea that Earth Ponies have (even passive) magic to begin with. That's the unicorn's thing. Just like Pegasi have wings and Earth Ponies have raw strength.

It's what makes Earth Ponies Badass Normals in my opinion.

Curse you Lauren, this is the first time I've disagreed with you [lol]

Uh, the Pegasi have magic too; it's how they're able to stand on clouds. The unicorns have active magic. All ponies have passive magic.

It's the keratin. Keratin is able to channel magic. This is why the ponies are able to hold things with their hooves. There's minor telekinesis channeled through there. It's also why their coats seem to change colour every now and then as hair has keratin too.

It's just that horns allow control, resonating directly with the mind, allowing the active use of magic.
What's the worst that could happen anyways?

[up][up][up][up]It's canon that even pegasus and earth pony have magic so it be difficult to convice anypony that Earth Ponies don't have magic.

[up][up][up][up][up]For me it make more sense that way.

(Two treads with same discusion, it's confusing).

wild mass guessEquestrian warfare is typically highly formalizedwild mass guess

The pies aren't intended as "weapons" but as a means of keeping score. You've been pied? You're out of the game! Anypony who cheats will have to answer to Celestia.

[up][up] From may understanding...

Earth Ponies: Can do god near anything if they work at it hard enough. Have a specialty with dealing with plants and animals.

Pegasi: Fly, walk on clouds and pull things at the same speed as they fly (tactile telekinesis)

Unicorn: Active magic, as is apparent.

[up] x3 Agreed.

In my latest fic, there's an earth pony who's special talent is pure strength. He used to work for the train company as a puller pony, and could haul hundreds of tonnes of freight at high speeds.

Because his strength is boosted by his inner magic.

Why does it have to be inner magic? Why can't the earth ponies just BE THAT AWESOME by themselves.

The exsistance of cutie marks and the changing of coat colours to me suggests that all ponies have magic. It dosn't have to be a bad thing.

Imagine a universe where earth ponies can pull off "Batman-is-a-chump" level epicness just because they're that good while unicorns and pegasi have to rely on magic. It isn't really fair to the other two races, since that would mean some kind of antimagic field would absolutely cripple them while earth ponies are still able to kick down walls or pull several tons of metal.
