You know, in season 1, I don't think there was any episode that I liked prefectly. Almost all of them had something off or missing. Since I don't have clear memories on season 1, I cannot comment much.

Robberies are harder in places where folks keep armed security in the bank.

Not really. Banks intentioanlyl avoid resistance in case someone gets hurt. Nowadays they just focus on minimizing the take and catching up with the perpato traitors soon afterwards. It's a high risk low reward crime but it's very easy to do. Even blind people can do it (and have).

Of course Equestrian banks don't have cameras or time release valuts. They're probably still in the 'wait for Mare Do Well' stage.

Firstly... I don't care, at all, about the show...

But I saw this, and figured some of you might want to know about it*...

Does Equestria have banks?

Actually, my main problem with Boast Busters is that it basically blames Trixie for the whole Ursa mess even though Snips and Snails are more directly to blame, and they got off really easy.

Well they were blamed in the end. The only reason they got off lightly was Equestria's genrally forgiving nature. (Also, they're kids).

And hi Swoosh. Welcome to the Thread!

By the way, Equestria does have military, right?

#268107 from The Woods. Where else?
Having just watched Hurricane Fluttershy again, I have to say it's probably one of my ffavorite S2 episodes. The almost sisterly relationship between Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash is just so cute :3

They probably have banks, given the existence of an (offscreen) superstore and ponies like Filthy Rich.

@d Roy As far as we know, there are the Royal Guards, and that's about it. Equestria could very easily have no standing army.

Also, regarding spoilers:

I could very easily see Trixie become The Dragon to a villain under the promise of power. If someone were to offer her the opportunity to actually become "Great and Powerful, " she would definitely take it.

Though from the look of it, they have a LOT of Guards.

Also the Wonderbolts were called in to deal with Spike once. It's not clear if they have a real army, though the Pegasus Nation behaved as one in the distant past.

wild mass guess Equestria has had one of the strongest standing armies in the world for years, but Celestia appointed Blueblood the Supreme Commander as a gesture of good faith to all the other nations, as everyone knows he'd just roll over and surrender at the first sign of resistance. wild mass guess

@ the piscture, WOW, just WOW.

And yeah hurricane Fluttershy is prety much my favrite non-two parter of the series. it's is far and away the BEST portrayl of RD in the show. THAT is the element of Loyalty in action.

Wow, that picture is actually really interesting. I know what I'm using if I have to come up with a larger map.

And yeah, Hurricane Fluttershy is definitely going in my "Epic" category. Definitely one of the best S2 episodes.

EDIT: Also My attempt at today's NATG prompt. This time Pinkie's chubbiness is on purpose.

Somebody overlayed it with the official Equestria map and it fits almost perfectly.

Okay, time for sleep now. Goodnight.

It didn't look like it fit at all to me, but I guess it's hard to tell with the way the photo was made.

Any chance we could get Yukari to open the Boundary to Equestria? It's not like it's Gensokyo we're going to [lol]

It's not a perfect fit sure, but still damn close.

Maybe I'm not looking at the same picture as everyone else.
