Sounds like fun.

That being said if you guys want to build not only a town, but a kingdom all our own. Then here are some in thread rules you need to check out.

First from the region in OP we have a simple basic map that we can choose our starting area at, make sure to choose wisely Anon's after all you're living here now.

After that we were given some starting funds by the Equestrians to make our living. Enough materials and funds to at least get our first town started. Though as a reminder, this is a loan, not a free gift, any excess we don't spend will be less we owe the kingdom of Equeatria in the long run. We will need to at least start some form of payment at the end of the year.[In 12 turns as this uses a monthly system of time per turn]

Here is your starting fund: 50 BP

The list of buildings to start are as follows... in the next post as there are a lot.

anyways the origin of this little project is a collaborative story told through thread based decisions and writefagging. The main process is "you're suddenly in Equestria, you're put to work in a town, what can you do, what do you do, etcetera"

Now in terms of figuring out what the fuck all these stats are here is the break down.

Economy= Money to pay for shit
Stability=Making sure people don't get stabbed
Loyalty= Making sure other people don't stab you and respect DA LAW

There are other bits, but we'll get to that in a little bit.

That being said gimme some lists with your spending money and we'll see what we can get.

>>29938734

Good plan.
Cute filly will buy a house, brothel, and a candy shop. Also a jail to put all the bad colts in. That leaves me with 21 points for later.

so i guess with my buys i have 23 points left. how far away are each grid squares?

For sense of scale, each hex is roughly about 12 miles apart from end to end. So don't worry about the big bad monster trying to get you. It'll be pretty far away after all.

Of course if you are wanting to simply enjoy making a horse to play horses with others do so and enjoy yourself.

Are we using FIllyFinder to make our characters?

>>29938857
the swamp has a river and gems to mine.

it is also insanely defensible if you can conquer and turn it to your advantage.

though perhaps not the best for farming ill admit, its far from impossible, plus its also somewhat close to the shore, so we can(potentially) order large quantities of supplies via sea easier.

also we get to tell people to get out of our swamp, so....

>>29938871
neat, also you should put on a tripcode name so we can better keep track of you, just a suggestion.

>Time... goes by quickly. Turns out you've been sucked from your world to this strange new one.

>They want us to write in these journals to "talk to the princess" or some jackassery... I guess this is it then, this is our "life" now

>>29938922
sounds like a good idea yeah. only other thing actually thats probably outright necessary to start off with, plus itll help us mine the gems.

good thinking.

City wall-8
2 farms- 4(12)
3 house- 9(21)
2 Mill- 12(33)
Library- 6(39)
Smith- 6(45)

i say save the last 5, no reason to break bank, plus with everything else we should slowly be able to get our own stuff without going in debt.

>>29938938
Works for me. If something comes up and we suddenly need something else, we have some wiggle

>>29938938
that looks good. And then if we want to write stories like the incredibly talented and no doubt handsome gentleman already has tried to do, we can add all sorts of flavor thats not directly on that list, like a town square or something

>>29938959
ill try to get some bits up once im back from work.

probably use it to bump thread if nothing else.

otherwise i think we more or less seem to agree on what our start should look like, so at this point its a "Whats next"?

plan out where everything is gonna go? much more important then most think, an organized city is a functioning city.

If this is your choice then, it shall be so. As Equestrian aide has been dispatched to help us set up for the first turn as it where all of these building effects will activate now.

Now my little ponies, how will you build your town? Image related as that is the grid in which you buildings shall be built upon.

The green squares are aviable slots for construction, the white lines between then are the streets which much up the town while the black lines work as alley ways in your city. One last thing; your buildings have a set amount of space needed to be built. That being said you can for example have a 2 slot building spread across a street just not across other buildings.

Here are the slot requirements:
City wall- None Required, it's outside the town silly.
2 farms- 4 slots each
3 house- 1 slots each
2 Mill- 1 slots each
Library- 1 slots each
Smith- 1 slots each

>Your head is pounding, maybe tequila shots aren't the best way to end the night

>>29938993
>>29939019
You would be correct good sir! It's all well and good to say we're building it like so, but now we get to the nitty gritty after all we do have to make sure to make the most out of our resources yes?

>>29939019
put the farms all along the right

put the houses all together on the top center

put the mills all together in the bottom center

put the library in the top left, put the smilth in the middle left

>>29938993

There needs to be a centralized hub, from there we can make the grid. Outside the town we can have roads leading in circles to the main roads.

my thoughts.

Mills are together to increase efficiency, however farms are apart so if something happens we dont lose all at once.

tried to put the smith away from everything, less chance of fire spreading.

houses put strategically so everyone can get where they work faster, library in position not to be too far from anyone.

>>29939068
That is correct! Houses work as stepping stones for vital shops and other services that can be provided in a town that being said a key item about mills that most should be aware of is that they require a water source, so they will most likely need to be move to the right side of the town where the water flows.

Let me see if get what you're aiming for.

>>29939086
Smithy needs to be bound to a house so as to have access to it. Think of houses as a type of perquisite for other building types.

Aside from that looks good, though the mills could be closer to the water, but since the river runs NW to SE by the town I'll let it go.

or wait if mills need housing too then move house up to them or them down to house, whichever people think is better.

>>29939128
This will be fine in the mean in that case, if you get some others to agree with you I'll go ahead and mark it down on the sheet and we can move on.

It's always the first step that's the hardest isn't it?

>>29939136
>filly catches filly herpes
How can the catch herpes if none of us have it?

>>29939157
Riiiight none of us have that...totally

So, question. How did we get to this location? Did we all "show up" here? Were we scattered about and then gathered and shipped out? If so, how were be brought? Caravan? Train? Airship? Are we FORCED to be here?

>>29939128
This will work. Also it appears I have been banned for some odd reason...

If this message gets through I will be having you guys start to go through the next step in the kingdom maker. IF not then I willget a friend to help me out here.

im guess the next step is choosing positions/jobs?

>>29939166
pretty much forced to be here. I'd think we'd all be scattered initially, then brought into this town

>>29939172

i see your message.

im ready for next step, but work calls very soon, so just in case and im right about a next/upcoming step, im putting forth my resume for head of management/city planner or head of security/ guard captain.

Head of management resume:
- i can fly so i can get an aerial view.
-I apparently had the best plan for positioning and what to get, so i must be doing something right.
- im a griffin.

Head of security resume:
- im a griffin.
- have you SEEN these claws?
- and this beak my god im a monster.
- wait how is this beak able to smile thats not right.
- oh god none of this is right how am i real?!
- oh fuck i think i broke my mind help.

>>29939193

Roles comes later and involves having actual character sheets for everyone that being said due to some wanting ti super simple and others wanting some form of progress we have yet to decide on what to use. That being said if it comes down to the wire I'll draw up something for everyone to use.

However Edicts would be next and those are essentially how you can fine tune your kingdom for just that extra bit of work.

>>29939166
>Did we all "show up" here? Were we scattered about and then gathered and shipped out? If so, how were be brought? Caravan? Train? Airship? Are we FORCED to be here?

The lore behind that is related to each individual pony though the most common methods of travel have been by boat and rarely by airship. The jungle is rather thick and Caravans would need to traverse dangerous badlands to reach here. As for being forced that again is up to you, the player, as to what happened. After all it's hard to turn down an offer you can't refuse~

>>29939187
Please See Here, but I will make one soon.>>29938793

>>29939193
Roles will be selected soon my friend, now fly you fool back to work with you!

On another note last call for building placement, Will be using these plans here >>29939128 in pic

>>29939213
alright, edicts.

i say everyone should have to have at least minimum fighting training and required to carry some sort of weapon, with training practice at least weekly.

otherwise i propose a system to where those that work a specific job get 60% of their own work in materials as payment(gems if you mine, lumber if you work the mill, ect), with the other 40% being given to the town to do with as a whole. this allows everyone to thrive and make their own decisions with what they want, but does not leave the town as a whole to the whims of the greedy.

work calls, ill be back in a few hours. resume is on the table for when we get to that.

>>29939236
really? 60/40 split leaves a lot of material for people, not that they can do much with it.

Once I get active here, I'll use a character that I've had for a little while now, because I'm too lazy to make a new one and I already have art of him anyway. Besides, how can you say no to that face?

In normal settings he's an appraiser/saleszebra, but in the interim I would assume he'll just fit the role of a general worker and frontierstallion until things get more settled and more specialized opportunities come up.

Not really in a position that I can do a whole lot of writing or RPing just yet, but I'll be around, perhaps.

While that's all well and good I was more meaning general things that affect the whole kingdom, if you want to impose restrictions and the like go ahead, though that will be mostly flavor town text.

The three Edict types are Promotion, Taxaition and Festivals. Promotion can range from propaganda to simple promotion of businesses and the tourist trade. Taxation is all about that money while Festivals keeps your little ponies happy at the end of the day. It's encourage to find some joy in your rough and tumble town after all!~

>Ever since I was young, I've had a problem with seasickness, the rolling of the waves made my stomach churn in all manner of foul ways.
>It had gotten better over time, and even managed to take a cruise once with the family as my body grew and developed.
>Now, as I ride the waves to our new settlement, I find my new body once again unaccustomed to the way the boat rocks, and for most of the trip I find myself hanging over the railing, puking up the food we've been given

>Looking around I see them, ponies that were, like me, human
>Once, at any rate
>It had been a while since I was big into ponies, though it did help me a lot during hard times in life

That was somewhat intentional when designing him. Mostly I wanted to see about how Zecora's eye shape would work on a male character, and the final result was a wonderfully campy-looking fellow.

Very well.

Last update for the night. Due to time constraints as well as having to share this thread with our green posting friends and other assorted activities, next turn will be processed in two weeks time on the 7th of May to allow for others to join and enjoy the town as it is built.

In the meantime here are the stats for you starting kingdom, now all that's left is to name your kingdom, so my little ponies what shall your home be called?

On a related note, if you're interested in seeing how the town looks and want to be more involved on a personal level join in the discord link and take a peek around to see who you're fellow neighbors are! Just remember to not eat the fish and delving into the underground alone is a sure fire way to die!~

>>29939390
Silly catbird, fish heads are for decorations, not for eating you nut.

>>29939457
>No one else was eating them, so I figured
>"Hey, why not? Free food and protein!"
>That was mistake number one...

I think we'll need an archive for significant story development and notes on town development to be in one place, easy to read and find stuff. I really don't want to miss stuff in the discord because finding previous posts is hell

>>29939491
definitely a good idea. that would help a lot later on

>"Wake up sir, you can't sleep on the park bench."
>You open your eyes, hearing the voice right next to you.
>You have quite a pounding headache, and the light of the cartoonish-world in front of you momentarily blurs your vision as you squint.
>You turn your head in the direction of the voice, barely able to make out the blurry figure of a... horse?
>You blink a few times to regain your vision.
>A cartoon horse wearing armor?
>Wait, you knew that armor, it was that of the Equestrian Royal Guards from... My Little Pony?
>As your mind shits itself, the memories of what had just happened before he had woken up flood back to you
>"O-oh shit, what happened?!" Your heart starts pounding. "Am I dead?!"
>The large stallion in armor in front of you raises an eyebrow, placing a hoof on your shoulder to steady you. "Sir, I need you to relax. Try not to panic."
>You look down to his hoof on your shoulder, and notice that your shoulder is quite different now.
>You look down at the rest of your body, your jaw dropping in disbelief at what you saw
>You were a pony
>Your eyes follow to your back
>A Pegasus pony
>You were covered in a soft bronze-colored fur, and your eyes trail to your backside to see that a long, full blond tail flowed from your back
>The guard becomes visibly concerned when he notices your face turn a pale white under your fur.
>"No... This can't be right... What...?" You mumble to yourself as you become woozy.
Your headache starts pounding more, and you hear the guard yelling to try to keep you awake as you quickly slip back into unconsciousness

>An autumn colored unicorn opens his eyes. He gets up onto his hooves slowly, seemingly dazed. After a few seconds... he looks down at his hooves... then at the rest of himself.
>"W-What the hell..."
>The unicorn starts panicking. What the hell is going on?! I'm a unicorn?! Where even am I?! he thinks.
"Look, there's another one!"
>A voice sounds from behind the unicorn. He looks back to see that it came from a member of the Equestrian Royal Guard, who is accompanied by two others.
>Are those... ponies? My Little Ponies?! he thinks. On instinct, he begins to gallop away from the guards.
"Halt, by the order of Princess Celestia!"
>The guards begin to give chase. The unicorn has a hard time running on four legs since he's used to only two.
>The unicorn gallops as fast as he can, but he's no match for the endurance of the Royal Guard, and soon fails at staying ahead of them.
>The guards apprehend the unicorn swiftly. One of them takes out a phial from his saddlebag and lets loose a glowing blue aura from it. The aura centers around the autumn unicorn's horn and appears to dim it's glow.
"Disabling spell, so there'll be no funny business on the way back to Canterlot."
>The guards surround the unicorn on all sides. There's no escape. The unicorn sighs, and goes peacefully with them.
>Perfect. I'm somehow in Equestria AND a unicorn with no idea how the hell it even happened, and now I'm getting arrested. But what even for?! he thinks as the guards take him back to the castle town.

>if you don't consider that to be "working", you just have retarded standards.

>Wake up. Still on the boat, it seems.
>You'd expected to wake up back in your apartment, and still keep expecting to any second now.
>A day or two ago, after hitting the sack, you found yourself in... a Wild West movie set? No, no. The genuine article... full of ponies, though.
>It had taken a while to get over the shock, especially after realizing you weren't even human anymore. At least you had talons to try pinching yourself with.
>At least the ponies were friendly enough to seem concerned about you, and even try to comfort you during your freakout
>You're a griffon now, apparently. Not quite like one from the show proper, you're a mix of a hawk and... a cougar, if you remember them from the zoo right. Same aquamarine-colored eyes as before... oddly comforting to see the same eyes staring back at you when you look in a mirror.
>You'd barely put together how to walk before a townsperso-townspony came over to help you somewhere better
>An awfully nice stallion, too. Gave you some water, helped you through your shock and meltdown, and even gave you a bit of something to wear- a poncho. It fits surprisingly well, which is nice.
>You tried to calm your nerves and talked with the stallion, explaining what, and who, you are. You're not sure if he fully believes you, but he's nice enough to listen. He says you can take his spare room for a few nights until you feel better.
>Hopefully, you'll wake up back home
(1/2)

>>29939627
>You woke up several hours later, to the sight of a couple Royal Guards. Evidently, you're still in Equestria. They were rounding up 'mysterious appearances', and they'd come to get you. Seeing as they were so polite, and you didn't stand a chance if they weren't, you went quietly. The stallion let you keep the poncho, though, which is nice.
>They take you to a train and usher you on. The rest is a bit of a blur, mostly because you were lost in thought.
>They take you to a port town, and hurry you to the docks. From their, you're put on the boat to go to where the 'mysterious appearances' are being gathered
>There was enough space to get some alone time on the boat, luckily. You needed some, to try and deal with all of this.

"Hey, poncho. Boat's about to dock."
>You're snapped out of your thoughts by one of the guards. Since you never really gave a name, they took to calling you that. Works, you suppose.
>You get up and move for the exit.
>As you step off, you realize you're in a much different place. this looks, and feels, a lot more like somewhere in the Deep South.
>Guess you'll have to think on your feet- paws? talons? fuck -until you manage to get more settled. Or, you'll actually wake up from this. Whichever comes first.

>>29939573
"You give me that nonsense one more time, and I'll make sure you have a long stay in the dungeon!! I've been dealing with you strange blank flanked new arrivals all day long. Now tell me your name. You're REAL name, not that nonsense you've been spewing."
>The guard commands the unicorn. He's been interrogating him for the past 10 minutes.
>I gave you my name, you asshole! the unicorn thinks. But before retorting back, he ponders a moment. If this is really Equestria and not some messed up hallucination or dream... then he probably would have never heard a name like mine anyway. All the ponies have names that relate to what their job or talent is. But... I don't have a talent or job... unless you count writing greente--...
"Hey you! Speak up and tell me your name! NOW!!"
>"Uh-uhhh... K-Key Tapper!"
>Oh God dammit. Or is is Celestia dammit now? Key Tapper? Of all the retarded names I could have come up with...
>The guard interrupts Key Tapper's thoughts with another inquiry.
"Finally decided to cooperate? Good. Now then, you and all your other blank friends have been sequestered to another location. You're coming with me again, buster."
>"What?! I... no, I don't even know how I--!"
"Enough! Stallions, take Mr. Tapper to his new home."
>The guard motions to the two other guards in the room, who again take Key Tapper to another location. Where? Go-- Celestia only knows.

>Still a pony
>Your heart drops
>Was this real?
>It felt like just a few minutes ago you were flying in the skies above south Louisiana
>You feel yourself starting to tense up and panic again, so you close your eyes, relax your awkward limbs and muscles, and take several slow, deep breaths.
>"Y'alright, hun?" You hear a quiet, high voice next to you
>You open your eyes and turn your head to the side to see that you're inside the hull of a ship, sitting next to about ten other ponies.
>"You been asleep the whole trip! I was starting to think you were in a coma," the same mare said, covering her mouth with a hoof and giggling. She had a very slight accent, but you couldn't place from where...
>You open your mouth to speak, but your throat is bone dry and feels like sandpaper
>A random stallion sitting near you reaches into a basket and pulls out a waterskin, tossing it to you
>You try to catch it, but your clumsy hooves totally miss it
>It falls down next to you and the ship full of ponies laugh at you
>You feel your face grow warm with a blush as you reach down to pick up the waterskin, struggling for a moment to grip it in your thick, fetlocked hooves.
>Quickly, you flip the top open and chug down at least half the bottle, leaning your head all the wya back as you guzzled down the water.
>It felt like it had been days since you last drank water. What the fuck...
>feeling a bit better, you sit up straight and look towards the stallion that tossed you the waterskin.

"Good, then you can tell me who you are and what you're doing sleeping here!"

>"What's... going on?" You weren't even really sure what to ask, but those were the first words that came to mind
>The brown-coated, chocolate-maned unicorn mare tilts her head. "What do you mean? How we got in this ship? Well, we both were in a large group rounded up in Canterlot. They held us for a little while, but eventually they told us we'd be going to a town for all the humans."
>She looks around at the other ponies, who are either talking to each other in quiet conversation, listening to her, or asleep.
>You noticed several mares in one corner of the ship, collectively freaking out about how they used to be men on Earth and had woken up to find themselves turned into the little mare
>For a split second, you feel thankful that you didn't lose your dingaling.
>You ponder the mare's answer. So you had woken up in Canterlot, must've passed out again, and are now being shipped to another town.
>You feel a slight bit of worry. This wasn't right, you weren't supposed to be here. You were supposed to be back home.

>You yell in agreement, but after a few hours most have given in, little else to do and for sure no room to complain.

>>29940273
>You sit at a table, talking among about twelve other somewhat like minded individuals.
“Yeah, I agree, fuck that boat nonsense. They are fucking tallying up debt practically for every breath we take. Look at the map here, I say we hitch a ride to the edge, and foot it ourselves!”
>”Really, I mean, im getting annoyed at every bite I take feeling like its being tallied too, but that IS a jungle man, cant be easy to get through.”
“Bah, we got supplies, and we can borrow some weapons from the smithy, place isnt ever locked up, trust me.”

>you smile, still disturbed that a beak can be so flexible, but growing used to it none the less.
“Trust me guys, when we arrive at the village, aint no one gonna be able to say shit if we throw our weight a bit, having already gotten some experience surviving in the jungle. Besides, we'll need to know how to survive out there either way, fucking Equestrians aren't exactly throwing us a good chunk of bone with this land.”
>”True...” Another griffin says in agreement.
>You pat his back reassuringly.
“Then lets get to work!”

>Getting everything you needed was easy enough, and finding a ride to the south was hardly a chore.
>The few days on the road however, shoved full with other ponies and griffins headed to their new home?
>Terrible, boring and terrible.

>>29940276
>It took nearly a week to trek through the jungle.
>It should've only taken just over half that time, but boy, did none of you fuckheads know how to read a map.
>Worse, the trip was deadly, monsters and wildlife you never knew could exist leaving you no room to rest, the terrain itself hazardous at every turn.
>You have no idea how many things you swung at, your mind growing fuzzier every day as you got less and less sleep.
>By the time your party arrives at the New Town, only 7 of you are left, and not a single one of you is well off.
>As you come slumping into the town, hardly taking in the construction or stares you were receiving, you grimace as you stretch your injured wing, opening and closing your claw as you rested your arm in a makeshift sling, dragging your hatched across the pavement in the other as you spat on the ground.
“Hey, you, Unicorn. Where the FUCK can we get some sleep?”
>”U-uhh.....Tents are over there...?”
“great, you're a helpful fella.”
>You spend nearly a day sleeping, til some fool wakes you up, telling you theres a meeting for planning the town layout and other important shit.

>>29940279
>You grumpily get up, noticing your group had dispersed.
>You cant blame them, but still feel a bit betrayed.
>They seem to have all decided it was your fault for the way your adventure went, despite you pointing out you had never once forced them to come along.
>You you take your place in the crowd, yawning heavily, you give your input here and there, aggressive but with an attempt at being polite, as you try and make sure no one fucks this shit up horribly.
>You hadn't dragged your ass all the way out here just to see poor city planning make you even more miserable.
>”Hey, whats your name anyways?” Some pegasus speaks up after your last heavily worded suggestion.
“Giff Mc Beakface.” You say sarcastically.
>”Oh, nice to meet ya!” He say, holding out a hoof, with others nearby giving you hellos and shit.
“Wait that was...fuck it, yeas that's my name. Nice to meet you too...” You say, shaking his roof.
>Finally, someone says that thats it for today, and everyone goes off to help with this or that in completing what little still needed to be done.
>You yawn, slinking off to go find some breakfast, then maybe you would see what a one armed griffin could do to help out around here.
and thats it as of right this second. just a quick little thing to give an idea of personality and how he arrived.

Ill have more later, but for now, who wants a hot headed somewhat bloodthristy grumpy griffin as a friend!?

>>29939236
>>29939270
maybe a 60/40 is a bit high, but i still want to shill both these ideas.

maybe more like a 30 to the person, 70 to the town or something? it would allow one to still have their own trading materials for personal projects and help start up an actual economy.

and making sure were ready for the dangers of the jungle is far from a bad idea.

>No batponies, the best ponies of all time
You autistic shitbags

>>29940500
just be a batpony then if you want to, id be very surprised if it was that restrictive in what you can be.

>>29940465
30/70 sounds pretty good. I feel like the number could be adjusted (slightly) in either direction, depending upon the town's condition (ie; bad winter request more, a good summer request less). We can probably work towards divvying up where exactly the funds taken by the town go, as well.


>>29939236
Some fighting experience for everyone wouldn't be a bad idea, either. Enough to wield something more simplistic, such as a spear, a hammer, or an axe (an axe or hammer especially, as it could be repurposed as a tool as well.)
We need to get a good gauge of the local wildlife, too. If we're lucky, a good portion of it'll be the kind that leave us well enough alone provided we leave them well enough alone, too, but we should prepare in case that isn't how it goes.

I dont have a horse, in the game or real life. they're ponies man, not horses, legit difference.

nor would it be my anal circumference expanding in either case. you really aren't very good at this "insult" thing are you?

hint:
a good insult has to actually be directed at something related to the person, at the very least. usually the closer to home it hits, the more it will actually sting. try something related to griffins or actually insulting me directly next time.

So, what would be the first thing we're working towards? Any specific buildings, needs, or general goals for the town? (Aside from survival, of course)
Is there an assumed population comprised of Non-Player characters, as well?

>>29943814
I would love a temple, if only because I feel like rping a backwater town pastor

>>29943976
Although going back and seeing how much it costs for a temple, maybe we ought not do that yet

>>29943976
That'll definitely be a little longer term, but it's a good thing to work towards. For now, it'd be best to work on supplies. PErhaps we could get a tend and chairs, for now?

>>29944069
That's probably for the best. Honestly, I'm surprised this got taken seriously instead of just making an arena and two brothels with our starting BP

>>29944119
well, it was up to vote really. so even if one person decided that, most people would if probably rejected it

>>29943976
How would being in charge of/owning a building work? Is it just whoever claims it first once it's built?

wow fuck this looks interesting

Start with a character, and try to think about where you'd pop up. Work from there.

if im reading it right, our stats right now are:

Economy- 2
Stability- 5
Loyalty- 3 or 7(i think he made a mistake here and didnt make the 2 a -2, but he would have to confirm this)
BP(how long is a turn in game?)- 8?

now keep in mind we owe 45 BP at the end of the games year(or something like that).

with that and our stats in mind, id say an Alchemist, Barracks(unrest affects economy only?), Herbalist should be our first priority.

Graveyard(stats mostly but i have a feeling were gonna need it either way..),Shop, Tavern, or Tradesman, being secondary.

admittedly id assume were gonna pay Equestria back with gp, as i think only farms generate BP from what i saw, and i think i only put those in secondary, BUT i also dont think our main goal right now should be trying to pay our debts.

it should be to be prepared to chase off the debt collectors when they come a knocking!

>Key Tapper sticks a pin in getting to know any...pony for now. Might as well get used to saying "anypony" unironically from now on, he thinks as he and the crowd make their way to a small building of some sort. From the chatter of the crowd, it sounds like the building is an embassy of Equestria. Maybe everypony will finally get some answers? Ugh... I feel like such a fag for already thinking the word "everypony", Key thinks as he nearly cringes outwardly.

>After waiting in a long, LONG queue, it's finally Key Tapper's turn to talk to one of the ponies at the desk. The pony behind the desk
"Alright, you. Apparently you all came from another world and have names from there as well. So what's your pony name gonna be?"
>"Oh, uh, I actually already thought of one. Key Tapper." he replies. The pony behind the desk gives him a look.
"...Interesting choice. Fine. Considering that you have no cutie mark, you obviously do not know your talent. What are you good at?"
>"I uh... In my world I was... a writer." If you count schmaltzy greentexts on /mlp/, I was anyway.
"A writer? Hmm... Well... I'll be honest, sir. I don't think a writer is going to be useful to a developing town."
>"Wait... so we really are just supposed to build a whole town from the ground up?" Key asks.
"That's what Celestia ordered. Not our decision, sir. Now how would you be able to use your skills to better this town?"
>"I uh... does the town have a message board? You know, something to put the news on so everypony can read it?"
"It does not. Literally almost nothing has been constructed yet."
>"Then that's what I'll do. I'll make a message board for all the town goings on."
"Fantastic, sir. Now I need your hoofprint and signature."
>The pony behind the desk holds up a legal document and places it on the desk in front of them. Key stamps his hoof onto the marked area... but when it comes to signing his name...
>Key picks up the pen in his mouth, and sloppily writes his new name.

>>29944698
When do I get to start up my brothel?

>>29944736
when were not a small Hubble town at risk of being overun and destroyed every day of our lives....give it a few turns, for now street prostitution will have to be enough.

>>29944705
"Sir... you realize you're a unicorn right? You don't have to do everything with your mouth."
>"Yeah, I realize that. But I wasn't always one, I don't know how this magic stuff works yet." Key replies. The pony behind the desk, motions another pony over, a unicorn.
"Is there a problem?"
"This guy doesn't know how to use his magic."
"Oh, that's not a problem."
>The unicorn turns to Key Tapper.
"Alright, sir, I'll give you a crash course real quick. Basically, your magic relies on thought. Just imagine that you're floating this pen in front of you and there you go!"
>Key concentrates on the pen. Nothing happens. Then, he has an idea. Key imagines the arms and hands he used to have as a human picking the pen up. His horn glows with a light green aura, and the same aura levitates the pen.
>"Oh my Go-- I mean, Celestia! I did it!" Key exclaims with glee.
"Good job sir! Now please take your saddlebags and leave; we need to move this line along."
>The unicorn indicates a pair of saddlebags sitting on top of a pile of them. Key picks up the saddlebags with his newly learned magic and puts them on his back.
"Those bags have some basic supplies, some food, a few tools, and a small amount of bits. Have a wonderful day and please come by the embassy again for any future concerns."
>Key waves goodbye to the ponies behind the desk before they go on to helping the next pony in line. He walks out of the building and looks around. On the front of the embassy, he spies a poster that wasn't there before.
"WARNING: A zebra was seen attempting to physically and sexually assault a mare in the middle of the town. Watch your flanks."
>"Sexual assault"? Well, these are all nor/mlp/eople with the bodies of ponies. Rape of some form was inevitable.
>Seeing some spare wood nearby, Key has and idea. He takes the poster from the wall and the wood and gets to work.

>>29944698
Seems like a decent setup to me. I think for now we should focus on either the Alchemist or the Herbalist shop, since we can get useful things such as curatives and antivenom (the latter likely being important in an environment such as this). A Barrack would be nice, but I think for now we can rely on a more armed civilian populace until we have other things pinned down well enough to look into making guarding/defense more of a 'profession'.
Tavern and Tradesman could both be good, especially the later, provided we can get something of use from the locale. Before we get a trading post we ought to look into what kind of trading partners aside from Equestria we could feasibly have, and what those partners and Equestria might need specifically.
Debt payback is important too, but we shouldn't rush to get it off the table instantly. It'd be best to find a stable, good payback rate.

>>29944992
I agree with you. Herbalist first so we can heal, then alchemist second to better stop needing the first so often?

as for finding out more about our neighbors... id be willing to round up a posse to explore a bit, but i think the GM would have to be here for some of that(id assume anyways, as id think the place on the amp affect the actual livelihood of the town).

also just noticed that if you look at the document he posted earlier it has the job positions on it. just something to look over.

>>29944944
>rape already a problem

NO.
SURPRISES.

>>29945036
i'd be down for some exploration whenever
kind of already did a bit of greentext on that too
>>29943205

Do you need to write a greentext baclstory for your character? Do I have to cement mine now? Or can I just throw one together when I see something I wanna join to do? Like if someone starts up a pen and paper thing, or I just randomly decide to jump in the rp

>>29945256
You don't have to! It's just something some of us are doing to characterize and introduce ourselves.

>>29945256
it would probably help to make a backstory but with a starting pop of 250 id think its ok for us not to know everyone personally.

probably encouraged to take a more active role but i personally see no reason you cant just join something that interests you once it pops up.

though obviously a throw away character probably shouldn't try and get a important job position or something.

>>29945285
>>29945275
All right, then I'll probably greentext just a backstory then try to get more involved. My main problem is not knowing how much time I'll have available for doing this.

>>29945310
Don't worry. You'll be fine, man. I wrote mine in like.. ten minutes.

>>29945310
dont worry, GM said turns for town stuff is like once every two weeks or something.

you dont have to be THAT active for the town running part i think.

One last question. Do I need to post a picture of my horse with one pf the pony maker things I've seen people linking, or would ponytown work find?

>>29945341
I dont think you even need a picture at all, a description will do fine.

>>29945364
All right then. I'll get started with everything right now then.

>>29945341
aw shit ponytown pics would be great. dont have to post anything but pony pics are always good

>>29945465
Alright, will do

>>29944698
Phone posting is a bitch, but in terms of base points thing of it like this.
Bp1 equals to 4k gold pieces
This if course can also be taken backwards too so right now our spare 5 BP is about 20k gp.

On another note if your and your friends go out on crazy whacky adventures and wind up finding priceless relics and the link you can choose to invest in the kingdom to help it grow ever more!

On another note I might have to fix the total for loyalty state as that has a plus 4 from the alignment of the kingdom which can be summed up as chaotic good. Of course choosing actions that don't support this can change this alignment of course. Say like forcefully annexing native villages, abandoning towns to the wilds etc or clearing out hexes filled with monsters or providing aide should sisters occur. It's up to you all after all.

On another note you guys should definitely start to think up who is going to be in charge of what soon else the whole kingdom will run riot!

Of course if some of you like that idea that's also up to you, but then again you can't really do much without someone telling others what to do.

>>29945796
>soon
Nigga, this isn't even the second day. There's not really any rp yet, and most of us are figuring out backstories. Chill your jets.

>>29945796
>BP is 4,000 gp
>we spent 180,000gp
never let it be said settlements are cheap.

anyways, mind explaining in a minor detail what all of the positions on the DOC are fully?

my guesses:

Ruler- Head of the town, basically overall decision maker and organizer.
Ruler #2- secondary leader, if we get a second settlement and shit.
Councilor- organizer, makes sure everyone knows what needs to be done and does it.
General- runs the army.
Grand Diplomat- makes us friends so we can demand shit from our friends.
High Priest- Praise the Alicorns or to the bond fire with you.
Magister- Head of paperwork, poor bastard, though an important bastard.
Marshal- Either head cop or something to do with making sure businesses dont cheat people and shit.
Royal Assassin- doesn't exist why would we ever have an Assassin were a peaceful town of the people.
Spymaster- Why would we ever need one of these either theres nothing our friends or citizens are up to we might wish to know about.
Treasurer- Filthy banker, Handles the money and materials.
Warden- keeps the buildings up to code and the streets clean, or another cop like job.

>>29945871
>All of those positions
>Not nearly enough players to run them
calm down now lets just start with who's in charge at least

>>29945918
i never said we needed all of them, nor all at once.

i did however wish to know more about them so we know which ones are actually important as of right now.

but yes either way actually choosing who is the ruler probably should come first.

>>29945871
For the most part you got that right. Here are their descriptions as I remember putting that in there. Nevermind I did not.

Alright in order they go like this.
Ruler: Decides on majority of things that we can do for hex map and other assorted things, needs this or else bad shit happens.
Ruler 2: can work with ruler 1 in helping make things not shitty for the most part.
The councilor ensures that the will of the citizenry is represented.
The General commands the kingdom’s armies and is a public hero
The Grand Diplomat oversees international relations.
The high priest guides the kingdom’s religious needs and growth.
The Magister guides a kingdom’s higher learning and magic.
The Marshal helps organize patrols and enforces justice in rural and wilderness regions
The Royal Assassin can serve as a public executioner, a headsman,
or a shadowy assassin
The Spymaster observes the kingdom’s underworld and criminal elements and spies on other kingdoms AKA Batman
The Treasurer organizes tax collection, and manages the treasury.
The Warden leads the kingdom’s defense and city guards.

Of course those are the flavor texts as to what and why we care. The mechnics behind it help boost your kingdom's stat checks so we do well. Since after all the command DC for a kingdom our size is already a whopping 21. On a d20.

When the next update occurs in 1 week and 6 days I will hope folks will have decided on who does what. As we will begin the next turn to see how the kingdom has grown. It sounds ever so fun to see how badly this place will burn.

Also on another note a turn is supposed to last a month but due to RP constraints as well as others not wanting to do super accelerated time that is why we are doing a update of kingdom every two weeks real time to allow folks to breath and do their things.

>>29945972
ah, cool.

well....does anyone actually WANT to be the Ruler?

because i had my sights more on Marshal or Warden, with General as a backup.

but we DO need a ruler and if literally no one else actually wants to...

>>29945972
Change Royal Assassin into Party Planner. Fits the theme better, and would statwise do the same thing out of fun instead of fear.

>>29946034
I've got my eyes on religious leader myself.
Praise Kek!

So, considering that something bigish happened in RP-land today, would it be too much to ask that those involved give us who weren't around a small write-up, just so we aren't left in the dark?

>>29946425
something big happened?

i thought we were all basically just doing our own little thing.

>>29946425
>Guy Rps as a zigger
>Tries raping someone OOC as a joke
>Everyone treats it seriously, so he takes it further and tries going full Moldovian town rapist
>He ends up agreeing to kill off his zigger character and try again without raping people
>Death count of 1.

>>29946439
how did zigger die?

i meant to do some writing soon but that would be an important detail if i was gonna add that in.

>Your name is Homily Sermon.
>At least, it is now.
>You are currently on a boat.
>There are others here.
>They're like you, you assume.
>”Like you” meaning from earth, but no longer human.
>Everything a short time after your immediate arrival and up until now is a blur.
>You may be in shock, you suppose.
>It would explain how calm you are.
>Your first moments examining yourself are the only thing you remember vividly.
>Seeing yourself as some kind of small horse spooked you pretty bad.
>Of course, you knew exactly what you were.
>You'd watched the show for a bit.
>Regardless, you decided to ignore the outside world for a bit in preference of checking your own features.
>Your coat color was a rustic red, and your mane, which was rather short, had a clay-ish blue color.
>After a minute or two of examining yourself, you heard a shout from in front of you.
>You looked up to see a guards-pony, clad in golden armor, and with a spear leveled at your face.
>You can also vaguely remember catching a glint of your new dark purple eyes in your reflection somewhere, be it a puddle or a mirror you happened upon.
>Beyond this, your memory fades until you arrive on the boat.
>But let's get back to the present.
>Standing on the deck of the boat, waiting to reach some new land you were supposed to colonize, you ponder what you'll do in this new land.

>>29946483
>You originally started watching mlp because of the adventure elements, a strange new land full of wonders to see.
>Of course, as this aspect of the show didn't get as much attention from the writers, you stopped watching it after a few seasons.
>During that time you browsed /mlp/ on 4chan, along with some other boards.
>/x/ was the most prominent.
>Thinking about it now, that could be helpful.
>From your time watching the mlp you know that many mythological creatures reside in this new world.
>Who says that there aren't cryptids here? Spirits, perhaps?
>You were always paranoid about these things, and being brought to a world where monsters of myth already resided only strengthened your fear tenfold.
>You take solace in your remembering of rituals and rites, and of your time spent as a preacher back on earth.
>Whether they exist here or not, it doesn't hurt to be prepared, right?
>”Land ho!” you hear someone yell from behind you.
>You'd heard how colonial settlers on earth died in great numbers to secure even one colony, and they had better materials and weaponry to help them.
>You pray that you survive the long road ahead.

thats about the only thing ive ever been called by a female....thanks for that gut punch.

So, for the people in town, do you think we could get a list of just what your job is? The system I'm working on is less about "you've been here for X days so you gain a feat/point," and more "you've been here doing X, so your abilities relating to X are improved." This will also require us to keep SIMPLE logs of your daily life, broken down into what you do in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I could use some help getting a google doc where you can list your name, occupation, and what you do during the day. A few sentences is all that would be needed, so you don't have to dive too deeply in. "Morning and afternoon was spent cutting down trees," is enough, and over time those skills would further develop. A lumberjack, for example would, over time gain abilities that increase how much you can carry, your time outdoors would help you detect things like wild animals, and the strengthening would up the amount of damage you do in combat. If you spend the day farming, you'd be less prone to fatigue, or if you adventure a lot you could become more keen to find hidden items, treasure, and so on. You "character sheet" is based upon what the character actually does and gets better the more you do it.

Now, it was brought up that this could put long-time players at an advantage over new ones, and that's a very fair point that I want to work to ensure doesn't happen, or happens as minimally as possible. If anyone has any ideas for how to improve this, I'd love to hear from you and work together to make this a fun, character-driven adventure system for PnP adventures. Feel free to post any ideas you have for job perks and bonuses, as that is what I'm going to be working with first.

>>29946537
>thats about the only thing ive ever been called by a female....thanks for that gut punch.
It just reminded me that I forgot to specify. I spent the better part of the pony rp I was in with everyone else thinking my character was a mare because I forgot to say

>>29946541
For Homily Sermon, mornings and much of the afternoon is spent farming out of necessity for the town (considering there seems to be a lack a erf pones, at least from I see in the discord rp chat) and the rest of the afternoon plus some evening is spent preaching to whoever will listen, maybe some literal soapboxing. As to what bonuses I'd get from preaching? Something social, for certain, but I don't entirely understand the system or if there is a system for what it would give specifically.

>>29946541
We were working on a google sheet 'census', but that could be expanded a line or two to allow for profession. Maybe a bit further for a short summary of daily activities? (or a 'See Note'?)

>Spending the remainder of the day cooped up with some mare blathering on about how “you should rest and let your arm heal” this and “I dont think a wings supposed to bend like that how did you even do that my god” this was really not how Griff had intended to spend his time.
>But some people were persistent, and he didnt have the energy to argue with such.

>The next day he awoke around midday to screams and yells, quickly grabbing his axe and slumping out of the medical tent dragging it along the ground as he awkwardly stumbled his way into the streets.
“What the fucks all this racket?” you said with a yawn, nudging at a pony at the back of a growing crowd.
>It takes the Pony a moment to find his words.
>”Well, s-some zebra just....well he just....went bananas, and tried to outright rape someone!”
>You raise a feathery eyebrow.
“So....everyones here just enjoying the show?”
>”W-what?! No! Somepony came over and.....and put a stop to him...permanently....”

“Oh, then whys everyone still standing around wasting time for?”
>The pony blinks, shock across his face.
>”S-somepony just died!”
>Griff Mc Beakface took a moment to take in the ponies words, before slowly nodding.
“Oh right, most of you didnt come here on foot....”
>What me meant to say was, most of them had been smart, but he let his ego say what it wanted.
>The pony looked at him, confusion on his face.
>”I...what?”
“Nothing, im glad it looks like someone was up to doing what needed to be done.”
>”Somepony.”
“Fuck you.”
>As the pony took visible offense at his words, Griff smiled and flung his axe onto his shoulder, taking in the ponies sudden fear before walking off.
>It only took a few feet before he got annoyed and slowly, painfully, took off his arm sling.
>He would just have to learn to work through the pain, no time to dilly dallying.

>>29946706
>Griff spent the rest of the day trying his best to help finish up what construction was left, before a few ponies showed up asking him about his time through the jungle.
“It was shit, people died, I almost did, dont go out into the thick of it alone or unprepared. Also note, most things arent food, learned THAT one the worst way possible...”
>”Well....could you show us what path you took through the swamp? Some of us want to try some exploring.”
>Griff raised an eyebrow, putting down the lumber he was carrying real quick as he looked at the group.
“Fuck no, I had an axe and some buddies with other weapons and we barely made it out alive. You ...folks, dont even have a butter knife between you.”
>One rolled his eyes, waving his hoof around...to try and convey something of the other.
>”It cant be That dangerous.”
“Fuck if I know if its dangerous or not, but im not setting foot out there with no one to cover my back.”
>”Well, fine, we can find it on our own!”
>He watched the group scamper off towards the gate, grumbling as he picked the lumber back up.

>>29946711
“...Nope, it isn't my job. Warned the fuckheads, not my fault if they dont come back...nope, nothing I could've done, they just wouldn't listen, yup.”
>Shaking his head, he walked off back to work.
>This place needed some rules soon, otherwise they probably wouldn't be the only people wandering off despite common sense.
>And probably sooner then later, if todays colorful events were an indication of the types sent here.
>He sighed as he put down his cargo, looking back at the gate.
>He turned back to the building, then back to the gate.
>He really didnt have any authority to tell anyone what to do.
>Nor was had his past decisions really put him in a position to think himself any wiser.
>But...
>Nah, he couldnt stop them by himself if he wanted to, best not die with the other idiots.
>If he wanted to help, he would have to gain some actual authority first.
>Which was a job for another day, those fools would just have to be a lesson for the lot of them.

>>29946541
well, if he gets any of the jobs im after he would basically be doing security/ cop like work.

but as of now hes more of a dayteller, which probably mostly involves construction work and lumberjacking right now.

>You trudge home and drop into your bed, exhausted from the day.
>You and the others that went out to try your hands at some woodcutting didn't make too much progress. You got it started, at least, and made enough chatter to get acquainted with each other.
>You even managed to start to work out a system after trying out a few things. You'll all probably need some time to get things down better, but hey, it's a start.
>On your way back into town, you met a few other ponies, too. You nearly lost your temper, but (with one of the ponies' help) you kept a level head. They all seemed pretty nice, though. Hopefully you'll have a chance to meet up with some of them again later.
>One of them wanted to go out of town and look around with you tomorrow, but you didn't ask him what district he was staying in... oh well. It's not a big Outpost yet, anyways.
>You even managed to pick up a... roommate? of sorts, in the form of an oversized griffon, Sameer. He seems pretty friendly, if a little confused. Guess he must've arrived a little more recently, so he's still getting his bearings set on how the town is.
>He takes up a lot of space, but the housing district's buildings are large enough to be able to share a building amongst a few ponies, so two should be fine.

>As you start to try and unwind, you set up a plan for tomorrow. Anything to keep your mind too busy to think about... troubling things before you doze off.
>Meet up with the other woodcutters and try to work on that system of work you all'd been trying to form. Take that unicorn out to see the land outside the Outpost. Practice running, since you seem to still need work on not stumbling your way through it. Make another attempt at flight, and maybe watch one or two of the Equestrians that are here helping ease everyone in to try and gleam an idea or two off of them.
>You mumble your plan to yourself as you settle into your Equestrian-provided bedroll, and remove your poncho, tossing it aside for now.
>As you begin to start sliding off into sleep, you can't really help yourself from thinking; What's going on, back home? Is time passing? If it isn't, have people noticed? What're they doing about it? Is there a way back? If you do, will you pop back up where you left off, in your bed?
>You frown to yourself and manage to keep a lid on the feelings welling up, before pushing the thoughts away. None of that's going to help you right now. You need to work on survival, for now. Once things are safer, more stable... then you can look for a way back.

>>29947056
not a bad little snipet.

curious, any long term plan/job you have our eye on?

>>29947070
Not particularly. The most I'd be looking at right now might be either more of a foreman position among the woodcutters (still doing physical labor, of course, just directing others), since I have some experience when it comes to directing teams and groups of people.
Failing that, something possibly related to guard/security work. For now, I'd rather focus my efforts on getting supplies for the town, so long term's gonna sit on the backburner for now.

>>29947076
fair enough.

long terms plans are good to have but i understand they are well, still far off.

ill get something written up, but i plan to have Griff start trying to organize scouting parties and defense rules.

all well and good if you want to explore but that does nothing for anyone if you suddenly disappear one day with no one knowing where you went.

Whomever is working on the census page, you're doing a great job. If you or anyone else is willing, I could use someone to help me set up a day planner/tracker, or teach me how to do this kind of stuff with formulas.

>It was early morning as Griff was talking along with some of the other early risers when it happened.
>Interrupting the calm, crisp morning air, rustling from out in the wilderness, beyond the ajar gate he and some others were near.
>Lifting his steel along with the one or two lumberjacks who were the closest to armed, he narrowed his eyes as the bushes as they slowly shook, until suddenly, two ponies crawled through, one leaning heavily on the other.
“Oh...well fuck me sidways...”
>He recognized them two, from the day before.
>As they frantically crawled their way towards the gate, Griff waved his fellows outward, and the group rushed out and dragged the poor saps into the settlement.
>As they finally got the two bastards in and onto a stretcher, the less fucked up one tried ot grab onto Griff, though being a pony this was not going to happen with a-
>Ok how the fuck was a hoof actually somehow kinda grabbing him what the fucking HELL!?
>”P-please! You gotta go back out there, we...we left them back there, but th-they were still alive, I saw, I know it!”
>Pushing the hoof off, Griff was about to just wave the pony off, send him on his way, til he caught everyone looking at him, as if they expected him to know what, expect him to actually personally, do something.
“God....fucking....Alright you fuckhead, where the fuck did you idiots even go?”
>”We...we went south, we found a shallow crossing to the jungle, but...but something was out there once we crossed...me and Slim Jim were lucky to get away....”
>You sigh, running a hand...claw, down your face as you grunted.
“Alright take the kid away, ill.....figure something out...I guess...”
>You look around frantically, until you spot a old pot sitting out for some reason.
>Well, everyone was starting to wake up and mope about, might aswell ring the morning bell....

>>29947492
Ill continue in the Discord RP, as im hoping to simply let this lead us on a fun little bonding trip possibly, and once complete ill turn all the posts(or someone else can) into a Green writeup to post here.

not sure if things like this are actually meant to have overall effects on the town, but either way that is not my intention and is simply to see who wants to have a little bit of fun.

Okay so after a task that should have been much easier to complete than it was, I have here a small day tracker for the citizens of the town. Simply enter your name in the first row and you can easily keep track of what happened each day! Were you not around to RP or have thread discussion? No problem, see what your fellow townsfolk were up to and log what your character did. Maybe they spent the day working? Maybe they slept all day? Maybe they and another character who wasn't around spend time together! This is very basic, but will help keep things in order and help track growth and progression. No need to go TOO into detail, due to limited space for text. Saying you worked the farm all day and then spent the night with friends works, but we don't need to know that you went to the bathroom twice, stopped for lunch and tripped on a gardening tool (unless that's what y'all want, in which case we can edit it to better fit such activities)!
I know I need some help with formatting, so if anyone would like to assist that would be very much appreciated

well well well, welcome back to 4cannon

>>29947738
I'm surprised that anyone remembers it.

>>29947738
>>29947743
i think i actually very mildly remember something like this like two years ago.

what happened to the last game? people just grow bored? Get too successful to really continue with it?

>>29947753
A lot of arguing about systems and such, alongside a big lull in RP basically made the whole thing slowly die

What's left is an old IRC room that a few people hang out in.

>>29947753
The game had... reached a point that most of the players considered a solid end. The area was explored, the town secure, families were being raised... and because of the lack of conflict and stagnant RP, people just sort of left

>>29947775
It mostly became lewd fucking around that time

>>29947768
>>29947775
ah, yeah seems like it would happen. seems sad but inevitable that you would reach an "end game".

where was it located on the map anyways?

>>29947954
>implying Four Cannon wasn't constant lewd fucking ALL the time from the beginning

>>29947963
I'm glad it isn't like that this go around. I mean, aside from town rapist.

>>29947954

>a game about getting a town to survive
>instead has copious amount of lewd sex

im not surprised at all actually. i only hope someone died because of it, only because it would be hilarious.

>>29948628
>i only hope someone died because of it
Well we killed the town rapist while he was raping, if that counts

>>29948656
There was a guy, Sarge, like that in 4C, as well

He died

>>29948869
Did he leave a calling card or anything? Say, a piece of paper withYJGS on it?

>Key Tapper heard the announcement from the griffon. Apparently, some idiots went into the wild forests around the town. A fair amount of the group he was talking with answered the call, but... he didn't feel ready enough to try something like a rescue mission. At least not until he was more comfortable in this new body and with his magic skills.
>Key decided that this is something else to be added to the town bulletin board. After a quick trip back to the embassy for some parchment and pens, he sets to work. Carefully making sure to write with the levitation spell legibly enough for the message to be readable, Key pens this on the parchment:
"ATTENTION EVERYONE: Please stay out of the nearby forests and swampland if you are not capable of defending yourself from the native creatures."
>With a few hits of his mallet, the announcement is posted. Two public announcements already... maybe being in charge of the news around here won't be so bad...

>>29949226
all your warning have been for things that shouldn't be such a problem i just realized....

>>29949473
Yeah, that's the point. I'm the news.

:^)

>when a nice rescue operation accidentally finds part of hell on Euestria.

oops.

>Key Tapper enters into the embassy. The same pony who talked with him before notices him.
"Welcome back, sir! Did you need something?"
>"Yes. I would like to place an order for something outside of here. Is that allowed?" Key asks.
"Well... sure. But that'll cost ya. I suppose we've given you your sanctioned amount of bits already, so what would you like to order?"
>"A typewriter and some stationary, please."
"Alright then..."
>The desk pony checks some documents.
"That will be 45 bits, Mr. Tapper."
>"45?! That's almost all of them!" Key exclaims incredulously.
"You're shipping a machine from Canterlot, sir, it's not going to be cheap. What's it going to be?"
>Key thinks for a moment on whether it's worth the price... Then decides. He places the amount of bits on the counter.
>"When will it be here?"
"Well, sir, that depends on how fast Pony Express can get out here. If I had to guess... maybe a few days."
>"OK, put me down for it then."
"Sure thing, sir. You have a good one now."
>The desk pony smiles before taking Key's bits and turning back to their work.
>Key walks out of the embassy, excited at the prospects a typewriter could bring. My new name would actually make sense at least, he thinks. His eyes turn to out of the town, into the swampland where the rescue operation is taking place.
>"I hope those guys are OK..." Key wishes to himself.

>So I have many questions, but a few are just burning up inside of me right now.
>One: What in the goddamn is this? If this is some sort of dream, I was ready to wake up hours ago.
>Two: Do they want us dead? Seriously, we're being sent to a settlement on the border of 'The Forbidden Jungle' It can stay forbidden for all the shits I give, I'm not going in there.
>Three: Now what? I've taken to asking around and seeing what others can make of this fine mess we've found ourselves in and generally getting to know some of them. Most seem an amicable bunch but there's been more than a few who I'd rather knock their bloody blocks off, the intolerable tossers.
>Speaking of getting the body moving; I've never felt so young again in my life, all stumbling about and making a right prat of myself. Blame a guy who's used to walking on two legs for most of his life and finds himself trotting about.
>I had these fancy looking horses in resplendent armor file us up, catalogue us, ask our names and what have you. I told them my name but he just shook his head and asked for my new name. The nerve!
>It actually brought to mind what exactly I'll be doing here. No doubt there'll be shortage of manual labour and administration needed, but I reckon I can take a few years of a cash-in-hand job down by the parish church and put it to use here, so I went with Southstone after a section of the cemetary I helped upkeep.
>He took that as me being a Gravekeeper and I had no qualms with it. I'm not sure what God, if any, these ponies believe in or if they have an afterlife but the dead deserve courtesy and respect no matter where civilisation goes. This early on, the town is undergoing a lot of development, so I'm gonna make myself and what I do known to them, stake out a piece of land nearer the outskirts and see about getting a nice little cabin built nearby. God willing, the land won't need to be expanded so soon.
>At least my colleagues are quiet.

what's something is he tried the same shit again in another campaign then got vored to death since he thought going limp was the correct thing to do when caught inside a venus flytrap with tentacles.

>>29950893
Was that before or after he tracked an underaged b& down in Europe, raped, and killed her?

Okay, so here we have a "new" system for PnP adventures that I suggest we use while in the early days of our town. The credit for this core system goes to an old horsefucker that I knew as "Lucyne," and all credit for this goes to them. Lucyne's hard work should lay the foundation for our simple, fun times, and I hope we as a community can build off of this for fun times together in the future.

no. Use Tails of Equestria instead. Better system for beginners.

ALRIGHT MOTHERFUCKERS, ITS TIME FOR A RECAP OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOUR GETTING YOURSELF INTO.

>Be Griff.
>Be just trying to work.
>Some fools heard you had come here via foot, want your help to foolishly run around the jungle.
>Griffs not dumb enough to do that again ,tells them not to be idiots either.
>They decide to be idiot, the six of them running off angry he wont help, but still going out into the jungle.
>Griff decides its not his job to stop idiots.

>Next day, Griff looking forward to a relaxing day of work.
>Talking with the other early birds.
>suddenly two ponies come in.
>Fuck its the idiots from before, and one looks almost dead.
>Griffs a hardass but not so hard as to ignore injured ponies.
>Gets them help, but before then they say their four other friends are probably maybe still alive.
>Griff decides he cant leave ponies to die in the jungle, no matter how dumb they are.
>Gives a rousing speech in order to get volunteers.
>No one listens but a handful of people.
>One doesn't even want to help at first but just doesn't want them sloshing around 'her' part of the swamp.

>Ends up with a party of himself, a somewhat hardened griffin with ok gear but recovering from injuries.
> a Catholic God loving Earth pony farmer. (Homily)
>An insane mare who loves scalping people and not bathing. (Curiosity)
>A Lumberjack Griffin. (Peyote)
>A reclusive Pegasus with a thing for insane chick. (StrayShot)
>And a Medical Pony (Bleeding Heart/Ruby)

>A team to rescue anyone right?

>So they set out bonding or some shit as they reach the river.
>Of course ponies see something watching them on the other side, but being the insanely smart people we are, its over there so its not dangerous, thus the mission continues.
>We come to where we think the Ponies crossed the second river to get to the jungle.

>>29951408
>Only it just proves how terrible these ponies were trying to find are at thinking, because its only slightly better then the rushing water of the rest of the river.
>So, we decide the best course is, to cross!
>If a bunch of idiots can do it, we can too!
>Then two of us almost dont make it across and two more get washed far down stream.
>Luckily, we only waste precious time we have little of regrouping!

>Finally, regrouped and ready to go, we find signs of a struggle leading to a clearing in the jungle.
>Carefully, we approach it.
>And get a taste of hell.
>We THINK its only two mutilated and eviscerated ponies, but were not QUITE sure.
>The entire place looks like something ripped the ponies apart for fun and threw the chunks everywhere.
>Like reasonable gent,s we decide the best course of action it so turn tail and get the fuck back to town.
>But because fate does not use lube, we hear a scream, coming from a bit deeper in the jungle, meaning somepony might still be alive.
>Being a self defeatist fuck Griff decides this is all kinda his fault, so he tries to get everyone else to go home so he can probably die trying to save the pony out there.
>Being good friends with no brain cells, the group refuses, and so they march forward together to rescue the other idiots.
>So we sneak into the jungle all stealthy like.
>And because god does not exist, we come across a scene similar to what we just saw, but like 100x bigger and worse.
>Worse, we see what can only be described as a hellspawn tearing a pony it has tied up to shred, while a unicorn cries on another wooden beam a bit off.
>Now, this is one ugly hellspawn. Horse legs centaur style, snakes for arms, a giant pimple with a grin for a head with no eyes.
>not fun to look at.
>Naturally, being brave warriors, be argue over a plan until its almost too late to save the Unicorn mare.
>Deciding our only hope was to cut off its legs and run for it, we utterly fail at doing that.

>>29951462
>Thankfully luck and an good try and castrating the thing gets the unicorn free and none of us dead.
>Instead, Curiosity gets snake whipped into a tree and is knocked the fuck out, and Ruby manages to light the jungle on fire.
>Behind us.
>The direction we need to flee.
>We get the fuck out of there, a good roll resulting in the things front legs no long being attached, and run for the river.
>Yes we Picked up the knocked out pony.
>AS we argue over whether or not to ride the rivers stream down a ways, we hear the thing following us, its lack of front legs apparently only hindering it so much.
>Finally, we all agree riding the current towards town and away from the demon is a good thing.
>somehow this all works out and no one gets lost of drowned.
>Worse though, its nighttime now and we have no idea where we are.
>Because were tired and cold and just want sleep.
>Eventually we knock heads together enough to both remember how obvious the route home is, and that like 3 of us can fly.
>Finding our way back home, Griff notices a PLOT DEVICE.
>The Unicorn is not acting like someone who just saw ponies get ripped to shreds and then ran for her life.
>She isnt acting like a pony at all.
>So like any tired, grumpy, scared man would, Griff blocks the gate to town and threatens everyone with physical violence to keep them fro going inside, because he thinks the unicorn is fucked up and something terrible.
>Deciding to attack it, he yells.
>And that and all the other noise gets the gate guards up and about, who open the gate.
>This halts his attack as he tries to tell the Guards not to be fucking morons.
>And then the unicorn explodes int a tentacle monster that melts you mind.
>Griff starts getting tentacle choked, the things trying to pry the gate open, and everyone just got given a massive migraine fro m the thing.
>Not fun.

>>29951524
>but despite that, and some of the hardest rolls in the game, everyone rolls fucking amazing, and the thing is lit on fire, used like a rag doll as we kick its ass.
>Except StrayShot.
>By one number he rolls a mixed result, freeing Griff but getting grabbed and dragged towards the monster.
>Except now the things like as hot as a furnace so its even worse.
>Griff tries to help but getting choked out takes alot out of someone.
>Thankfully, despite giving them a risky, very hard roll to save him, they bloody get it with the first character, with Stray even cutting himself free before Ruby summer salt saves him.
>The thing then explodes, leaving chunks of burning abomination to put out.
>Griff tries to act like a self defeating faggot and blame everything on himself but Homily and Stray tell him to fuck off with that nonsense so he does.
>So everyone decides to fuck it more or less and go get some sleep.
>But the damage infront of the gate of the burning chunks of flesh, the day ponies can deal with that shit.
>And that was how 6 idiots saved no one and almost got the entire settlement destroyed, due to some even bigger idiots deciding to wander out unprepared.

ill try and work our posts into a greenstory to give it more justice, but that is a the simple, gyst recap.

TLDR; the jungle fucking SUCKS.
