Why did the Crystal Empire have no contingency plan for

>>26874001
No one planned for this to go 6 seasons. Not even crystal ponies.

It's a cartoon show

Cadence is a newfag princess, she need to git gud

>>26874001
No one planned on someone intentional destroying the only thing holding the empire alive. Not even King Sombra tried to do that.

More importantly, why did they not realize a fairly obvious connection between the crystal heart, and the events of heart's warming eve. It seems to me that a far better plan than running around like fucking morons would be to have all the pones get together and sing songs, and have fun together.

There is still a lot about the Crystal Empire for them to learn, but still, how do you plan for that? It would be like being prepared for Celestia's horn to fall off. It's not something you would expect could happen.

it could only be done by an alicorn baby, and there aren't many of those around
for now

More like, only parents of an alicorn baby would be dumb enough to keep dragging it to places with important objects even after seeing it blast through multiple floors of stone.

The US almost caused World War III once by mistaking a flock of pigeons for an incoming Soviet missile strike.

Weird shit happens, like crying babies detonating crystal hearts and all that. As with "the Box" from DUNE, the real test is crisis and observation.

They probly do but record keeping in equestria is fucking horrible

Plot

>>26874001
They did - the same plan as every other major city.
Try to evacuate on inadequate public transportation

This, nobody expected Princess Flurryheart to canary call the Crystal Heart.

Wait, if she can do that, does that mean other Alicorms might be able to?

Equestria 1000 years of having no back-up plans aside from let the future handle it.

Jim Miller's damage control on Twitter IS the contingency plan.
