A few days ago, there was fanon speculation about a villain who's the exact opposite of Discord: order gone too far.

I finished reading the fanfic Contraptionology today, and it actually touched on that idea. It interpreted Nightmare as a demon who hated any and all change—their entire MO is to seize on somepony's jealousy and twist that into an "<X> will last forever!" scenario. Hence Nightmare Moon and "The night will last forever!"

That would be running a punchline into the ground.

That's a big mane.

I find this much funnier than it should be.

@story I'll do it if enough others want to do it. Though in 5 days, I'll be leaving for about 11 days, so I can't guarantee my participation.

@Meta: I actually think that would be worse. I hate people like that.

I'm actually leaving in a week too, though I'll probably still be able ot participate.

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

@Meta Four, we were actually speculating creating a villain like that quite some time ago in this very thread, I enjoyed that conversation greatly but I can't remember the details.

I missed out on it, and I wouldn't mind hearing it again!

That sounds cool. You might be able to look it up again if you remember what day it was.

@Condottierra, This was FOREVER ago, especially when you consider just HOW LARGE THIS THREAD IS.

Trying to find a single conversation in it that didn't involve Gingerninja is trying to find a needle in a haystack made out of needles in a random location in another country.

That's why Pinkie Pie is one of the bearers of the Elements of Harmony. Because real harmony is a balance of chaos and order.

That would be running a punchline into the ground.

I believe that conversation did involve Ginger. Which speaks to how long ago it was. Bring it up to Story next time he's on he might know.

I remember the Everfree being involved. Two schools of thought, one that the Everfree would be the thing to defeat Order being the most chaotic thing in Equestria and one being that Order would try and make everywhere like the the Everfree because I have no idea why that would make sense. I belonged to the first group.

Laughter is the best medicine.

Except for actual medicine.

I'm pretty sure "Order" was the name we used, so maybe story could search for the posts containing it and see if he can find it from that.
