Not every British person has to be the doctor, death. Although it is the proper duty of all citizens of the British empire to aide the doctor in times of need.

At any rate, there already is a pony with a blue police box. And come to think of it, wasn't one of the big elements of police boxes a phone, which Equestria does not have?

Tohou is the game with the ridiculous amounts of shit on-screen, right? Like, even by Bullet hell standards? As in, you're one pixel off pattern and you're dead?

Not sure what to think of those. I've only ever seen videos of the later levels, so it could very well have a reasonable difficulty curve, but seeing the massive, insanely level of skill required to beat the game makes me cringe on a professional level.

Most of the games have a decent curve, with a spike around Stage 4 (of 6). It becomes more about memory and strategy than split-second reaction, though the latter thing still factors.

And it's not like it's wholly irrelevant

You DO realize that that's what police boxes are actually for, right?

That's correct.

No phone...no box.

I also drew Peeler causally trotting along, whistling a tune whilst twirling his bat with his tail.

Dam I can't wait to get my new computer and show these all!

So police boxes are exactly what they look like? Blue phone booths?

#42711 Badwolfwho Mon, 21st Nov '11 12:05:10 PM

The Peeler family. Does it have a pet?

That criminals can be locked in until more police show up to cart them away.

No. They're a mini jail cell with a phone on the outside of them. You lock a criminal inside then phone the cops

Yep.

A phone box that was for an officer to call for back up, a member of the public to call the police, and for officers to stick a suspect until the van arrived.

@kegisak My poit was to make blue police boxes exist in MLPFIM world so Tardis we make sense.

And it make Peeler 20% cooler.

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

#42715 kegisak Mon, 21st Nov '11 12:06:39 PM

effectively

◊.

According to wikipedia the telephone was actually usable form the outside, so a purpose of them was to be used as a miniature police station, presumably jail cell included. so it's feasible, but Peeler would have to set up one of his own...

But the TARDIS doesn't make sense. That's sort of the point of it. Half the places the doctor visits have no police boxes, and those that do they're pretty outdated. Why bother trying to make sense of a 900 year-old time-travelling pony anyways? It's not going to work out.

I don't know. The Diamond Dogs make canine pets seem a bit iffy to me.

And if you were going for dogs I'd choose a Bulldog. Or a St Bernard they look so happy.

Let the Doctor himself explain to you what a police box is for.

Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting to link that?

#42724 kegisak Mon, 21st Nov '11 12:13:39 PM

Well, they're an odd sort of dog. They shepherds, but unlike other sorts of shepherds that just run around, they're idea of herding is keeping other stuff away. So they can be... territorial. But they're amazingly loyal to their perceived pack. They're a really, really good dog for kids, actually.

They're also the quintessential police dog, so there's that.

EDIT: Ooh! And the dog's name could be Bobby! Although maybe we want it to be something with a P, just for the Added Alliterative Appeal.
