On-topic thread, back to ponies, etc etc.

Just when you think you're in control.

Just when you think you've got a hold, just when you feel on a roll.

I'm expecting Snails to start choking on at least one of those carrots at any moment.

@Mousa: Why is there a pegasus in the storm?

Same to you Drenius, Syd. I'm sure we'll be fine.

And I totally kept it on topic, that is clearly a picture of me about to fight Rainbow Dash.

@Mio, because I'm totally blaming the storm of Rainbow Dash.

Hey, someone translated a whole bunch of that Japanese MLP comic and it's up on EQD right now.

@Mousa: I doubt she could scrounge up that much effort to do something on that scale. Especially not to prank you.

We all know Fluttershy is the one in charge of Hurricanes anyway...

I wish I have found this clip earlier, when the season 3 air date was confirmed.

I wonder if Equestria even has hurricanes.

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

#296636 Calnos Sun, 28th Oct '12 6:23:51 PM from Nowhere

Why of course there are Hurricanes, one of Equestria's co-founders was named Hurricane! I'm sure its a popular name for Pegasus mares.

You there! Check out my Youtube Channel! The power of Ponies compel you!

#296638 Sydxelia Sun, 28th Oct '12 6:28:15 PM

My headcanon is that Commander Hurricane changed her name because "Commander Light Drizzle" just didn't cut it.

Pronounced "Sid-zellia"

Hey y'all. Today I start my new job :D

I expect the pegasi used to throw weaponized storm winds at predators back in the old days.

Nah, I think they used stuff like lightning, midair-formed icicles, and the like.

Oh I forgot about that. Just like they have bullets and tanks too.

#296642 Turtlebutter Sun, 28th Oct '12 7:04:06 PM from A Marshy Pond

You could use a big storm to wipe out something big... like a town or nesting grounds.

You think they threatened earth ponies with wiping out their towns with nasty storms so they'd give them food?

Maybe, but I don't think it'd be effective. The Earth Ponies would just be like Bring It.

#296644 Mio Sun, 28th Oct '12 7:12:16 PM

That would be rather counter productive since said storms would likely destroy the towns crops that feed everyone. The Earth Ponies probably had the best bargaining chip of the three tribes.

#296647 the Librarian Sun, 28th Oct '12 7:40:34 PM from his own little world

I actually brought that up in my King Arthur fic. When you think about it even though the earth ponies supplied the other races with food, they got the worst of the lot because the other two races could do things they couldn't. Like say the unicorns could just keep the sun and moon down, or the pegasi could conjure huge snowstorms or thunderstorms or stuff like that. And the only things that earth ponies can do is hoard food, and that only works if they hide it somewhere the other two races can't find it, because otherwise they'll just storm in and taken it.

#296649 Mio Sun, 28th Oct '12 7:50:07 PM

It's not really that simple. To wage a campaign like that, both the Unicorns and Pegasi would need a massive amount of resources, like food. Unless they some how gathered enough before the attack (which I find unlikely since either sides only source of food seems to be the earth ponies) the campaign would stall out rather quickly and they would have to sue for peace on the Earth Ponies' terms.

@Mio - Pretty much.

Contrary to popular media, what really decides any armed conflicts in the end is logistics.
