Whenever Pegasi pull things, such as chariots, they don't sag. They remain in the same plane as the Pegasus pulling it. This occurs even when the object being pulled isn't in motion (see Fluttershy's cart in Feeling Pinkie Keen). Physically this shouldn't happen, but if Pegasi have passive gravity manipulation, that could explain it.

Also, if the tank was falling very slowly, such as like a feather, then there'd only be a small amount of net force pushing it down ergo, a pegasus would need to impart a minuscule amount of force to keep it afloat.

Secret pegasus manufacturing techniques?

I have a message from another time...

My rule of thumb is that Pegasi can only move stuff through the air that's light enough for them to move regularly. Like they can't fly with a chariot if they wouldn't be able to pull it along the ground.

Those Chariots look like they could be made out of gold. That's really heavy.

Gold leaf paint over wood probably.

Could be gold leaf or gold paint. Gold would be a terrible material to make a chariot out of.

So did you upload this?

Thoughts on this one?

A) Yes, I did.

B) Didn't see it until after I uploaded mine. It's better, I guess, though the Paleo-Pony period has no indicator other than the name about its placement on the timeline.

About the list of eras: the Classical era would have to be very short indeed, since Luna knew Star Swirl the Bearded, who was Clover the Clever's mentor, and this whole founding story happened before Discord's rule

To quote my own (edited) timeline post, Luna never directly stated she knew Star-Swirl in person. She just knew Star-Swirl's costume, which is hardly conclusive proof that the two ever met. Twilight knew said costume as well, and she didn't live during the Pre-Classical Era.

Or the truck-thing they were pulling when stuff got dumped on Twilight's head, but I get the picture.

Makes sense.

I'd say Paleopony should be when Discord is around since Cutie Pox is the sort of thing he'd do.

Now I'm imagining Commander Hurricane being the first pony to try and fight against Discord. Kinda charging at him out of anger

...

I bet she was the first fatality of that battle

Are we really meant to assume that Discord came right after this?

Not right after, but I like to imagine it happening In their lifetime.

I dunno, I just like to imagine THESE characters against Discord

Like kicking a Dragon. But with less effect. I can totally imagine that happening.

Why not?

Actually, what WOULD happen if you tried to kick Discord?

No seriously, what am I being asked to- oh. Oh, I see, it wasn't anything specific, just a general art-monkey thing. I thought fora minute there that you were asking me to do the amazonian AJ in Mousa's stead. Which... I might do anyways, because the thought of it seemed sort of interesting.

@Ginger: I doubt Discord would out and out kill a pony right off the bat. He'd probably just brush her off until she had amassed enough of a force to present a real threat. Or the hint of one. Or maybe he'd just toy with her for a while... not sure if that's better or worse.

@ Ginger

I think he would just teleport away with a snap of his fingers.

Wait...would you? Draw AJ?

I bet Discord makes ponies who try to kick him unwillingly become ballet dancers.

#55743 Kyler Thatch Sat, 17th Dec '11 6:26:44 PM

Buffalo ballet dancers.

Rearrange her internal organs. That would be pretty chaotic and horrorfying.

Suddenly life under Discord doesn't seem so bad.

A kick would pose no threat to him. I can imagine him making a "Come At Me BRO!" pose if someone started flying at him

#55748 Stupid Question Sat, 17th Dec '11 6:34:13 PM

Here's a scary thought, Twilight trian for magical combat. I wouldn't call her unbeatible but she's be quite the threat to most ponys. Hell even cannon Twilight using her magic that way is scary. While she might not be able to nuke you with fireballs she's definetly got the ability to fling dozens if not hundreds of ponies about like ragdolls, throw in her ability with teliportation magic and her relitive squishyness isn't much of a problem either.

#55749 kegisak Sat, 17th Dec '11 6:36:07 PM

@Apple: Yeah, I don't see why not. If I've got the time (which I do now that all my classes are finished for the next two weeks), it seems like it could be fun. And I don't equate a bit of eye candy now and then with ungentlemanliness or chauvanism, so I have no real issues with the subject matter either.
