Welcome to /warpone/. Here, we appreciate historical horses and ponies in wartime.

Now with more horses!

We were discussing Russian warhorses towards the then of the last thread, more specifically if Cathrinethe great had any known horses. I found this article online . . .

http://webpages.charter.net/webman/Articles/Proud%20Black%20Horse%20of%20the%20Czars.html

Interesting read in and of itself, about the history of one particular breed of Russian horses, but it also gives us this.

>Drakon, an Oriental stallion said to be Arabian (but probably a Turkoman, today's Akhal-Teke) previously presented to Catherine by the Shah of Persia.

We have a named horse belonging to Cathrine the Great.

I was thinking of a male Lyra with a large dose of pre-Casino Royale James Bond. He'll flirt with anything that has a vagina and passes the Harkness test, but strongly prefers bipeds. He's suave, impossible to overwhelm, and is an expert at what he does.

Puns and one-liners are optional.

What would Lyra think of him? Would they be instant soulmates? Rivals, somehow? Maybe they'd be each other's wingponies?
>>
>>30781969

Lyra would admire him. He could be a mentor to her, and maybe a friend with benefits. I'm liking the wingpony idea as well. Bon Bon would hate him for a lot of reasons but secretly be tsundere as fuck about him.
>>
>>30782001
She'd probably have quite a few question for all of the warpones, pertaining to their interactions with the Hoo-mans.

I like the golden apple idea: it brings up multiple classical thematic tropes, and is meaningful, although subtle. I compared her to Helen of Troy in the last thread, and I think a golden apple fits the theme.

As much as I like the symbolism of the golden apple we do already have an entire family of ponies with apple cutiemarks. That's why I recommended the heart thing.

In the end, it's up to the drawfags. If we simply must avoid the apple thing, I don't recommend swords... That'd give the implication that she's a fighter. I think jewelery of some kind would work better. Something with Arabian flair, perhaps.

Not really a drawfag but I am trying to learn how to draw ponies. So here's my take on Drakon and Copenhagen. If some real artists come along with different looks for them I'm all for it.

Drakon's mane is styled after the crazy looking plumage on a rider's helmet I found while looking for images of Russian horses.

I tried to make Copenhagen's temples look gray like they were going gray.
>>
>>30792474
Copenhagen is actually looking pretty good here. I like that.

I had an idea, what if Drakon had major political ambitions and was constantly trying to ingratiate himself with the equestrian citizens and downplay his sexual misadventures. Kind of like Cathrine herself, but unlike her was always failing in hilarious ways. Getting the names of cities wrong while on tour and mailing private love letters to the newspapers by mistake.
>>

>Drakon desperately trying to cover-up his past sex-scandals to save face as a politician
This is a pretty cool way to go too.

>You love it.
>You established Foreleg Station a few miles from the new settlement of Ponyville.
>Your unicorn business partner, Deep Dowse, declared this to be the perfect spot. His iron-detection spell had discovered a large deposit of ore nearby.
>Dowse couldn't determine exactly where the deposits were, which meant they were likely buried extraordinarily deep underground.
>You quickly develop a reputation for the quality of your stock and reliability of your word.
>It overshadows the reputation of your harsh and strict nature.
>Ponyville loves your goods. You bring fabrics, dyes, tools, paper, the occasional rare stone, and whatever else you know you can sell.
>You'd rather be mining, hauling, and trading ore, but you are patient. You know that will come later.

>Once you find the deposits, you fully intend to ditch this trading post.
>Someone else will take over, surely. Those Shim Sham brothers, probably.
>But for now, you are enjoying the authority that comes with this job.

>>30803262
>While discussing the potential location of the iron ore with Deep Dowse in your cabin, a pegasus mare bursts through the door.
>"Iron Hoof, sir!"
>You turn to directly face the mare and maintain sharp eye contact.
"What is it?"
>"The fabric couriers from Manehattan led their cart into a ditch," she declares.
>You angrily stomp a hoof. Your voice raises.
"The fabric couriers are always barely on time with their deliveries."
>"What do we do?" asks the messenger pony.
>You waste no time on making the decision.
"Send Lickety Split to repair the cart immediately. Then, find Long Haul and tell him to gather his crew. I want him to take over the delivery so we can avoid another sloppy mistake. Split is fast - by the time Long Haul's crew arrives, the repairs will be finished."
>You look away from her for a moment to walk over to a large toolbox.
>From the toolbox, you produce a small hammer that matches the one on your flank.
>You engage eye contact with the messenger pony again, and approach her.
"I want you to take this and accompany Long Haul to the couriers."
>Her demeanor shifts to reveal her weak nerves. Her voice trembles. "M-me? You want me to-"
>You roll your eyes.
"Calm yourself. No, you only need to give it to them. They will know where to find me."
>Relieved, she collects herself, takes the hammer, and flies out the door.
>"Iron Hoof," Dowse says, "why didn't you have her deliver the punishment? This is unusual."
"You saw her, she couldn't do it. Besides, I have been meaning to speak with those fabric couriers about their work. Now, let's get some work done before they return to the Station."
>Truthfully, this was also your favorite part of merchantry.
>Not that it affected your decision. You firmly believe in choosing the right pony for a job.
>You are simply very good at this job.
>>
>>30803288
>An orange earth pony stallion wearing saddlebags stands alone with you in your cabin.
>Maps and plans are still scattered across the table. Dowse had stayed until the couriers arrived, leaving no time to clean up your work.
>You sent the other three couriers away. The blame belonged solely to this one.
"Give me the hammer, Quick Step."
>Managing to keep his composure, Quick Step removes it from his saddlebag and places it in your hoof.
>You pace across the floor for about a minute before speaking again.
"A cockatrice. You ran your cart off of the road, because you thought you saw a cockatrice."
>"Yes, Iron Hoof, sir."
>You admire Quick Step for his integrity.
>He knows what it means when Iron Hoof sends you a hammer. Everyone does.
>Yet he walked into your cabin and made no attempt to shift blame to his crew.
>But that is where your admiration ends. He is useless.
>You approach him.
"You know that cockatrices only live in the Everfree Forest, which is miles away from Manehattan. So why did you think you saw a cockatrice?"
>You take the hammer in your mouth.
>He cannot hide his nerves anymore.
>"I-it really looked like a cockatrice for a moment. I guess my imagination-"
>You slam the hammer into his front left knee.
>As Quick Step wails, you spit the hammer into your hoof so you can speak.
>You return to pacing while he holds up his injured leg and his breathing speeds up.
"Quick Step... This is not the first time this has happened. Twice now, I have had to send a repairpony to rescue you."
>"I am very sor-"
>You sharply look directly into his fearful eyes.
"Actually, they are rescuing ME. Every delivery you delay puts MY reputation on the line!"
>>
>>30803327
>You maintain your glare for a moment before returning once again to pacing.
"But you knew that. I've told you this before. You know that the only reason I maintain a good reputation is because I have ponies I can depend on. Ponies like Long Haul and Lickety Split, who know they have a job to do, and know how to do it."
>You turn to glance at him from across the room.
"They don't need reminding. So why do you?"
>Quick Step shifts his gaze to the floor.
>You turn your eye to his flank to remind yourself of his cutie mark.
>It's a short sequence of hoofprints and arrows, like dance steps.
>He opens his mouth to speak, but hesitates.
"Perhaps it's your imagination. I know you like to dance. I'm sure you're very good at it, aren't you?"
>He can't look you in the eye.
>"Y-yes, sir."
"But dancing is not your job. Delivery is. And as long as you're working for me, I am going to ensure that you deliver. Is that clear?"
>Quick Step finally looks up to make eye contact.
>"Yes, Iron Hoof, sir..." His voice trails off.
>He looks away nervously.
>"But-"
>You hate that word. Almost nothing good comes after someone starts with that word.
>It means someone isn't listening to you. They are about to defy you.
>Instantly, Quick Step looks ten times more foolish in your eyes.
>You can't stand his stupid orange coat.
>You take the hammer in your mouth again and put your entire body into swinging it, aiming for his nearest knee.
>It was the same knee as last time.
>Quick Step collapses with a deafening shriek.
>He holds his knee in his hoof, yelping with each short, sharp breath.
>You stand over him.
"I said: is that clear?"
>"YES!" he instantly shouts, pitifully.
>>
>>30803660
>You watch him writhe for a few minutes.
>Yes, you are sure Quick Step will fall in line now.
>But he's not very good at this job, and he likely never will be. It's not his special talent.
>You feel better knowing that he will remember this, but you can't have him fail you again with your reputation being at stake.
>More imporantly, you absolutely must keep Foreleg Station running. It needs to thrive until you can start mining the iron.
>You're all for supporting Manehattan, but the acquisition of the iron itself isn't what drives you.
>You deeply enjoy mining. It makes you feel powerful. But even so, that is only part of your motivation.
>What really fulfills you is respect, and with the success of Foreleg Station, you have been reaping quite a lot of it.
>Merchantry isn't even your special talent, so you can only imagine how much better you will run an iron mine.
>You can imagine how much repect you will demand after having pulled off both of these projects with aplomb.
>Taking all this into consideration, your brand of punishment is completely necessary. It is effective, and that is what matters.
>Quick Step is still quivering in pain on the floor.
"Now, Quick Step, I want you to listen to me. I don't want to see you in here a fourth time, so I will give you a job that even you can't mess up."
>He is looking at you attentively. You like it.
>>
>>30803705
>You stand over him.
"You will now be tasked with unloading shipments as they arrive at the Station. It is less work than pulling a cart, and of course your pay will reflect that. It also happens that you will have more spare time."
>Quick Step's face perks up a little. You know he is thinking about dancing.
"But if I find that your little dancing hobby is getting in the way of your work, rest assured that you will find yourself here again. Your knee will heal this time, but you won't want to risk it again."
>You turn to look at your favorite hammer, which rests upon a couple pegs on the wall.
>It's a mallet with an iron head and wooden handle. Its face is slightly larger than the average pony's hoof.
>It looks exactly like the one smashing the rock on your cutie mark.
>You hear Quick Step's breath become more panicked. You know he followed your gaze.
"Everyone here at Foreleg Station has a job to do, including you. I have made my expecations clear. Now get up, go see the nurse, and return to work once your knee recovers."
>You intentionally did not ask him if he understands. He does not have a choice.
>You extend your hoof to help him up.
>After a bit of struggling and adjusting, Quick Step takes it, grunting as he stands.
>You open the door, and he silently limps out.
>He takes one last glance back inside.
>Seeing your glare, he dares not speak, and he makes his way to the medical hut.
>This went well.

Comanche.jpg

Some of the faggots on /mlpol/ have begun work on another warpone from the Civil War / Native American wars era. reposting it here.

This is Comanche, He was named after his bravery and service in the American-Comanche Wars where he was wounded several times but kept carrying his rider, Captain Myles Keogh, Throughout the battles, but Comanche is best known as being the lone survivor of the Battle for Little Big Horn where he was wounded, Even after being wounded and left to die by the combined Lakota, Dakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho force He was recovered by the US Army and promoted to honorary second commanding officer of the 7th Calvary Until he finally died 15 years later. He is one of only two horses in american history to be given a military funeral.

A fictional film was made by Walt Disney inspired by Comanche's story, "Tonka" but it also went by the title "A Horse Named Comanche" As well as inspiring a song made by Johnny Horton simply named "Comanche"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkIlxZxeK1s

He is also regarded as the second most famous American Military horse just behind our beloved Sargent Reckless.

So he had the badass crown until Reckless took the spotlight, eh..
>>
>>30831850
>>30831842
Do you suppose his cutie mark should relate to Little Big Horn? Or perhaps something about being a survivalist. Sounds like he has survived many wounds, so being a survivalist, having figurative tough skin, or having strong willpower/spirit would suit him.

I bet he's great at boosting morale and inspiring his allies with his will to keep fighting, even with wounds.
>>
>>30832423
I think the mark they are using has to do with him being part of many conflicts between american cavalry forces (the revolver) and Native american ones (the Tomahawk) as well as it relating to his name since he was named after one of the tribes.
>>
>>30832455
Survivalism fits with native American themes too. You could slip a feather in there.

tbqh I'm just against the revolver, since earth ponies couldn't even use one of those.

oh the irony.

I imagine Comanche and Lee's horses might have a interesting dynamic considering they were "rebel army" horses and he's a reunited Americas Army horse. Probably getting into arguments just as often as they agree.

It would actually be hilarious to me if they didn't even have the slightest idea what the war was about, they just knew they were on opposing sides.
>>
>>30833235
Comanche wasn't brought into service until the civil war ended, so he would be the literal next generation of soldiers immediately after the war but it would be dramatically different from the previous because it was a civil war.

old vs new arguments would be frequent

The Charger of Captain Nolan.jpg
86KB, 618x495px
I think I'd like to introduce the not so well know horse of a very well known cavalry officer.

Louis (or Lewis) Nolan was a captain in the British Army, most famous for instigating the infamous Charge of the Light Brigade when he delivered inaccurate orders to Lord Lucan concerning which "guns" his cavalry was expected to advance towards. Rather than attacking the Russians attempting to recover captured Turkish batteries, the Light Brigade committed to a full scale attack against a heavily defended Don Cossack battery further to the east. The charge was a failure, and Nolan himself was its first casualty.

The horse that Nolan took into the charge also carried his body the entire distance back to the British lines, where he was recovered. Out of ignorance of any other specific information pertaining to the captain's horse at any one period, I've chosen to assume that Nolan's horse, a small Arabian, was the same horse which he rode during his service in India exactly ten years earlier, named Arab Beauty. Assuming this, Arab Beauty would have also accompanied him during his travels throughout Europe, studying the continent's many cavalry regiments.

While Nolan is a controversial figure for his role in the failure at Balaclava, he was also an influential captain of cavalry, arguably ahead of his time. It's unfortunate that so little is available concerning his horse during the battle, but I hope to read up more about Nolan, and might eventually learn more valuable info. For now though, I think the story of a horse who went through so much and whose rider met such a tragic end would have an interesting dynamic.

Also, due to 19th century artistic standards, this painting is very inaccurate, and I used it because it was useful it in establishing Arab Beauty's colors. In reality, Nolan's chest had been ripped open by a splinter from a Russian cannonball, and he died hanging from the horse, screaming and in intense agony.

Cathrine had a fondness for horses and would hang out in the royal stables. She was also known for illicit trysts. So her political enemies put that together to create the rumor.

I'm thinking he'd be spoiled. Nero suggested the horse to humiliate the nobility.

The intelligence of the horse is unknown. But I'm sure he's used to a lavish lifestyle.

its better than getting hit with sexual misconduct or sexual assault while enlisted. You'd be dishonorably discharged and be tried before a military court which is not lenient in the least. Not to mention she would be able to simply claim you did anything and have you thrown out because even in the military this is usually seen as a guilty until proven innocent case. Its one of the biggest reasons I am vehemently against females in the military at all.

Agreed my man. I read the story on /k/ about the dudes that got a female combat unit attached to them and all the special shit they had to do so they were 'comfortable' and such.

Ridiculous. The most women should be allowed to do is carry ammo and supplies, or be nurses in a field hospital. Active combat is no place for women. Men can handle the conditions, woman can't. Men also don't bleed from their arses every month and have mood swings.

Not to mention they lower the scores and difficulty of training for them, which is fucking retarded.
>>
>>30841345
>Men also don't bleed from their arses every month
Besides the Navy, obviously.
>>
>>30841345
women are also considered HVT's by hostile combatants, there is a morale blow that losing a woman has that losing a male cant necessarily compare to, simply because of the nature of males to try and protect females.

This part I can agree with.
They should have to perform at the same levels as the men if they want equal treatment or placement.
But this shit

>>30841345
If women want to serve in the military thats great! I have no problem with that. What I do have a problem with (if its true) is the fact special exemptions are afforded to them to make them more comfortable. A military unit must be equal and completely in snyc with eachother.

The ONLY exemption that should be allowed to women is the right to use tampons. That's the only difference im willing to accept.

I know some men in the military who are total shitstains and i would replace with a stronger woman in a fucking heartbeat.
>>
We've created around 15 characters in these threads. And here I was thinking /warpone/ wouldn't take off.
>>
>>30841345
The only good women are in the military is lazarett, or snipers in the case of Finland.

It is a confirmed historical fact that inclusive military excersize preceeds the fall of any nation.
>>
I think we can agree that the reason women don't work in the military is because
>no hooves

So let's get back to warpones.

How do you think these war heroes would get along with other races? Griffons, dragons, donkeys, nu-changelings? Lee's pones would clearly have some trouble, but do you think they'd ever get over it?

It looks pretty good really. The only problems are the turd-shaped cupcake (if you're just shooping it, that's not even your fault) and that the upper poker chip in her cutie mark seems like it's floating. Imagine decorating this cupcake irl and pushing both of the chips deeper into the frosting. That's what you should go for.

>Now, you said you personally dealt with them?
Yessir, a small band of them. believe there leader went by the name...Bo..sel..felass. Scary tower of flesh, that one. Said they needed supplies and some rest.
>And you offer both here?
Sure do, we still get a lot of hoof traffic thru these parts even after the railroad came thru Ponyville.
>Hmm, alright, so they needed some supplies and beds. Doesn't seem so bad, so far.
No, never starts that way and things seemed fine, till we got to a item that was not on the list.
>And what was it?
Beer.
>Beer?
I thought they had wrote "bear" wrong.
>Well, what is it?
I asked the same thing, almost got trampled by two ponies runnin' up to me, a stallion and a short mare. Next thing I know, I have a yeasty smellin' mug in front of me and them just staring. I'm told to drink and I swig it down and they pour me another and two for themselves.
>Why would you just drink it?
Paying customers. Any who, thought it tasted alright so I downed that, too. Kept tasting better each time I drank it.
>That doesn't seem right. Each time?
Swear to Celestia.
>Was it some kind of potion?
Maybe. Started feeling funny, started swaying, so I had to plop down.
>Sounds like poison.
Nah, they were drinking it along with me. The two sit down with me they kept pourin'. We were laughin' and were talkin'. She spoke kinda funny, but you could still make out what she said. The fella, he talked just like me. We started getting in to politics and the fella just starts in on this plan for the buffalo. Says we should round up all the buffalo calves and put them in these free schools. He was about to get into the next part when I get pulled away what had to be the prettiest stallion I have ever seen.
>*snort*
Laugh if you want, but that is how he looked. He starts talking and complimenting me and my place and I just eat it up. Next thing, he asks me for a favor.
>>
>>30883886
>A favor?
Yep, pointed to a mare looking thru my store and my heart, my heart skips a beat.
>Pretty?
Yeah, wearing a blue dress. The stallion, he says he needed me to go up her and seduce her.
>What?
I thought, yeah I can do that. I trot on up there as best as I could. She sees and to my surprise she is the one who speaks first a simple "Hello" put it was beautiful.
>Huh.
There I am, standing there in front of what may as well been a princess, stunned. I'm about to turn back when she place a gentle hoof on my cheek. She says "You will at least tell me your name."
>Did you?
I just start talking, non stop. I'm telling everything about me. Name, childhood, family, my entire life story and she just listens. I must've gone on for a hour and I thought I was doing pretty good cause she leans in close and rests her hoof over mine. My heart is poundin' when she whispers into my ear.
>Wha..what she say.
"We both want the same thing, but I need something from you."
>And?
She pointed to that pretty stallion. All I had to do was take him down.
>Really? You didn't actually do it, did you?
Well, no, but it wasn't for lack of trying.
>For Luna's sake.
Eeyup, I went for for a tackle and he just shifted to the side. As I was turning around, he bucks me square on the jaw. Poof, like blowing out a candle, I was out.
>Well, at least your honest. Where did you wake up? They didn't just leave you on the floor, did they?
No, I woke up in my bed, but with this awful, awful headache. The sun was pourin' in, burnin' my eyes and I also had this nausea.
>That must of been some hit or maybe that beer.
Probably both, I reckon.
>>
>>30883902
Then, there is a knock at my door and if it didn't hurt the ol' noggin, woo. Was gonna get up and answer it, but getting up made me want to puke. I just yelled that the door was open and a new pair of ponies came in.
>Sounds like you met a few of them.
Sure did. They were both stallions this time, a brown and a gray one. the brown one had brought up some food with him. and I thanked him for the trouble. The gray one said "Your welcome" and took the tray.
>Hold up, what about the pretty ponies?
Right, well I got to asking this pair about them. The gray one shook his head and left and the brown one just sighed. Told me that was her before play.
>Before play? Was it fore-play?
Oh yeah, that sounds right. He said ponies fighting over her it is how she got "in the mood" and then he did this little dip motion with his hoof.
>Wow, kind of cruel. Sure she wasn't a changeling.
The thought did cross my mind.
>I just realized, who was running the business during all this?
That would be my assistant.
>Yeah, I think her on my way in. The blue and eggshell unicorn, right?
Yep, that is her and when my head stopped pounding, I went to see how she handled it. Got to the main floor and I find one pony sipping tea who perked up and waved me over.
>So this is the next morning, right?
Yeah.
>Sorry, just wanted to clarify.
>>
>>30883925
That's fine, I get over to him and see what he needs, but I can barely follow what he is saying. I'm left blinking as he just continues to talk and talk, only stopping to take a sip. I nod a bit, so I'm not rude but I don't think he was paying any mind to me. Then a bag of bits lands on the table and he does this clickin' noise with his teeth and a "Cheerio" as he gets up. I perk up but he is out the door before I can say anythin'.
>I take it you found what the bits were for.
Damages.
>Like what?
Furniture and dishes mostly. There were also a couple chewed blankets.
>Odd. I take it that the leader and your assistant saddled up accounts while you were, busy.
Sure, did. Made a good amount of bits off it, too.
>So, they must of left early on that day. When was this?
Maybe three weeks back, give a take.
>Shoot, do you have any idea where they went next?
Nope.

He was the horse of Alexander the Great. It was most likely him or Marengo were going to become the crowd favorite, conquers tend to be considered 'cool', so their horses would be considered as well

I don't know if we have had a particularly generous warpone yet. But Nelson would be Honesty.

Laughter could be... Copenhagen? He doesn't really mean to be funny, he just uses a lot of slang.

I wouldn't say necessarily that Bucephalus is a kind pone. Not unkind, but not particularly kind. And just about any of them could be Loyalty.

You know, Reckless was actually known for being gentle and kind. And all depictions of her so far have kind of backed that up (her kindness is hidden behind a layer of toughness, generally).

So that means Loyalty could be Bucephalus or Bill the Bastard.

No ideas for Magic.

>>30892995
That sounds like a loyal thing, not a generous thing.
>>
>>30893016
>No ideas for Magic
Well, friendship is magic, so whichever horse best represents friendship would be the ideal candidate. But I don't know who that could be. I haven't spent much time in these threads, so I don't know much about these horses or the personalities you've all invented for them.
That said, I believe Reckless might actually be a good fit for Magic/Friendship, since she was apparently pretty friendly with all the troops.

Good shit. Gotta ask Plunger are you Australian?

I like the idea of Sgt Reckless running a small tavern on the outskirts of the Everfree Forest that's a big hit with horses sent to Equestria after dying on Earth, mainly military types like herself. They go there because they respect her, even the horses of antiquity respect her except maybe Incitatus the arrogant bastard and because she's always there to listen to their stories and be there for them when they're down.

I still don't understand how "Ike" is short for "Eisenhower".

Same reason "Jack" is short for "Johnathan" or "Bill" is short for "William."

I think it's short for Dwight, actually

>In happier times this tower had belonged to an eccentric wizard.
>He had converted the highest level of the tower into a library stocked full of rare tomes, globes, maps, tapestries, telescopes, suits of armor, and all manner of other curio.
>The windows provided a spectacular view of the Celestial sea.
>These days an evil looking red and black banner hung from the tower and the enemy used it as a command post.
>Under different circumstances Copenhagen might have enjoyed a tour of the library and it's relics.
>As it stood, he was merely being kicked in the stomach by the enemy troopers who had captured him.
>“Tell us what unit you're with!” one of the troopers yelled as he punched Copenhagen “Are there any more of you here?”
>“Talk!”
>Copenhagen didn't even acknowledge the trooper interrogating him much less answer the questions.
>>
>>30923317
>The trooper growled and prepared to renew the beating.
>“He is one of those warponies.” A voice with a strange hollow echo spoke “And I think it's safe to assume he will reveal nothing to us, even under torture.”
>Copenhagen spat blood as he looked up to the direction the voice came from.
>He was startled to see it was a Peryton. A mysterious race that can accurately be described as a fantastically colored stag with wings.
>Though that doesn't really do justice to the unreal “wrongness” of Perytons.
>Looking at a Peryton was kind of like seeing something that wasn't really there out of the corner of your eye, except you're looking at it dead on.
>“Alchemist,” the Peryton spoke again “the serum.”
>It was then that a thin sickly figure Copenhagen hadn't noticed enter the library approached holding a drinking horn.
>Presumably the alchemist.
>“I think you'll find this more than adequate incentive to speak.” he turned to the troopers “Sit him upright and hold his mouth open.”
>The enemy troopers found a small chair in the room and cuffed Copenhagen to it then wrestled with him until his head was held immobile and mouth forced open.
>“Now, now,” The alchemist said with mock sympathy as he poured the noxious drink into Copenhagen's mouth “there's nothing to gain by struggling.”
>Copenhagen could tell just by looking that this wretch was capable of bravado only when his opponents were already tied up.
>Once the Alchemist had finished with the serum, the troopers quickly forced Copenhagen's mouth shut and covered his nostrils.
>Copenhagen could only hold his breath so long before he was forced to swallow.
>>
>>30923326
>The alchemist turned to the Peryton.
>“It should take effect almost immediately, sir.”
>“Good.” the Peryton stepped forward to Copenhagen “Are there any more of you here?”
>Copenhagen gritted his teeth and tried not to talk but couldn't help himself from blurting out.
>“Big badge sent the bleeder on a shuftie that's turned to a circus op, I daresay, twain of brown jobs one of em a sprog other one's a split.”
>A moment passed.
>“What's that supposed to mean?” a confused trooper asked.
>Undeterred the Peryton continued “How many war ponies are there? Have they been deployed to the Griffish Isles?”
>“I pulled up the sandbag already, you got the pukka-gen, not to argy-bargy but you should already know your onions. Queens eyebrows if it isn't double gen! As for the rovers, total cockup, be a donkey's years before they can crack it.”
>“What is the meaning of this!?” the Peryton growled at the alchemist.
>“I-i can't say, Sir.” the startled alchemist replied with a nervous smile as he searched for words “He must be finding some way to, uh, babble nonsense instead of answering the questions.”
>The Peryton growled again and the alchemist winced, but instead of berating his subordinate the Peryton instead came closer to Copenhagen.
>“Do not try my patience any further! You will tell me everything you know about the forces defending Trottingham now!”
>“It's no duff gen ya git. It's a gopping mishcrit snafu, be done up like a kipper, the zobit's punted and duffed it good. All arse over tit!”
>>
>>30923338
>The Perton's eye twitched before he regained his composure.
>“What is it that you think your resistance changes? Do you think you can still defeat us? An elite battalion of Peryton troopers is even now prepping in bug bear territory. As soon as they capture Trottingham's ports, our regular infantry can begin occupying the whole Griffish Isles.”
>The peryton locked eyes with Copenhagen. “That will cut you off from the Griffon lands, after that the Griffons will capitulate with us, they hardly have cause to stand with you as things are now.”
>“That will leave entire east coast open to attack, once that falls Equesrtia's interior will be vulnerable. Don't you understand? It'll be a domino effect, this war cannot be won.”
>The Peryton then got right up in Copenhagens face. “Why do you persist in fighting us?”
>“Well there's fireproof good reasons,” Copenhagen smiled “but the most important one right now is that these darbies were easier to pick than I thought!”
>A strong hoof to the face sent the Pereyon reeling back across the room.
>Quick as lightning Copenhagen was on his hooves and looking for an escape route.
>He saw the troopers who had been beating him previously were also on their hooves and fast approaching.
>Thinking quick, he grabbed the chair he had been cuffed to and hurled it at them hitting the lead trooper in the forelegs and causing the lot of them to trip and fall into a big heap.
>Copenhagen turned to the Alchemist narrowed his eyes and blew steam from his nostrils.
>The Alchemist flinched and looked like he had just wet himself before he fled the room screaming for more guards.
>“Thought so.” Coppenhagen harrumphed.
>>
>>30923343
>Before he could leave the room, an evil sounding hiss brought Copenhagen's attention back to the Peryton, who was standing now, with murder in his eyes and purple sparks flying from his antlers.
>Copenhagen braced himself as he had no idea what Peryton magic was capable of.
>With a loud “FWOOSH” a gout of purple flame shot out from the Peryton's antlers directly at Copenhagen.
>Copenhagen first ran one direction but then turned and leaped over the fire landing in a roll.
>The peryton was sweeping it's magic fire back towards Copenhagen, igniting rugs, the floorboards, and bookshelves as it moved.
>Noticing he had landed near two suits of armor holding spears and shields he swiftly nabbed one of the shields in his mouth causing the suit to fall apart.
>It wouldn't do much to block the magical fire, he thought as he started to wind up, but he knew he could throw it with greater accuracy than he could one of the spears.
>He turned quickly and released the shield sending it flying straight at the Peryton striking him right in the antlers.
>The Peryton reared up and unleashed a terrible howl, sending sparks and random bursts of flame to the ceiling.
>Copenhagen lowered his head and charged the Peryton's now exposed stomach.
>The power of the impact sent the creature flying into a heavy bookshelf, it's shelves breaking and almost burying him in old manuscripts and journals.
>The Peryton emerged from the pile books locked eyes with Copenhagen and readied another attack.
>Just as the bookcase fell over on top of him and pinned the monster to the floor.
>“Queered the plonker's pitch.” Copenhagen chuckled as he ran out through the library's door hoping to find a way to escape the tower.
>He ran back in after seeing the Alchemist heading his way with about two dozen more enemy troopers in tow.
>>
>>30923349
>Copenhagen closed the door but frowned when he found no way to lock it.
>He toppled the nearest bookcase and propped it against the door to hold it closed.
>No sooner had he done that than the enemies on the other side began to force the door open.
>It wouldn't hold for long, but Copenhagen had other things to worry about.
>The fire started by the Peryton's magic had spread and the whole room might well be completely engulfed in smoke and flame before the enemies could get to him.
>He ran to an open window.
>It was certainly large enough for him to fit through, but the fall would surely kill him.
>“Give it up!” The still pinned but now conscious Peryton yelled as he tried to crawl out from under the bookcase. “There's no way out, surrender and I will spare your life.”
>Copenhagen didn't bother responding to that but he still wasn't sure how he was going to get out of this.
>>
>>30923343
Using RAF slang to get around a truth serum, fucking hilarious. Excellent green, writefag.
>>
>>30923355
>Suddenly the wind picked up and Copenhagen briefly saw something red flash by the window.
>He smiled and silently thanked the enemy for their excessive flair for dramatics.
>After grabbing the spear from the fallen suit of armor he smiled as he addressed the Peryton one final time.
>“Hate to do a bunk, but I must be running. Thanks for pukka gen on that Peryton battalion, brass hats have been trying to find them for some time.”
>And with that he jumped out the window shouting “Tally Ho!”.
>The bright red fabric of the enemy's banner was easily pierced by the spear, ripping through it as he fell. But it provided just enough resistance to slow his fall.
>The Peryton shook his hoof in anger as he bellowed “Curse you Copenhagen!”
>And then the tower exploded for some reason.
>As soon as Copenhagen landed he was off and running.
>What few enemies had even noticed him in all the emerging chaos had no chance of catching up with the former racehorse, even as tired and injured as he was.
>Now he just had to reunite with the other warponies and pass on the location of the Peryton battalion and their plans.
>>
>>30923363
>“Que?” The white stallion scratched his head “I apologize Mon'Amie, but perhaps you could be so kind as to 'owyousay, come again?”
>“For the third time you daft frog!” Copenhagen tried to keep his frustration in check as he spoke to Marengo. “Pery's over the oggin gonna start a barny. Trottingham's gonna catch a packet!
>“Hmm, I still find myself at a loss.” Marengo said “Perhaps he speaks something other than English to us, no? Do you understand him, Drakon?”
>“Nyet!” The black stallion replied.
>Marengo turned to Reckless “What about you Sargent?”
>“No, he need learn how talk good like me always do!”
>Copenhagen stared at them incredulously.
>“Oh, bollocks!”
>>

Thanks but truth be told, I really just stole the idea from an old episode of the Batman animated series.

>>30903153
>the occupying soldiers, their discipline bent by alcohol and the proximity to local services, hardly sleep in Ponyville
>almost all the night they stay awake, lighting up the entire square well into the morning, and making such noises which bother the townsfolk and prevent them from sleeping, although they are too worried of any consequences if they complain
>said noises make Reckless's journey back to the marines very quick, as she is at little risk of getting lost
>as she enters the town square, a lieutenant notices her, checks his watch, and shakes his head, but doesn't bother her further
>most of the marines are standing or sitting directly outside of their tents and cheer her as she passes by
>a minority of them are sober, and greet her properly
>when she reaches the tent and its bright decorations, she can already hear her soldiers inside talking extremely loudly, and a Buddy Holly song playing over the radio
>she sets down her new stock of beer for a moment to open up the tent
>inside the tent are her soldiers, lest she become frustrated, and when she enters they all stop their conversations and thank her for her commitment
>a corporal speaks up from the side of the tent
>"Hey good work sarge, we've been dry for hours. Took you half a wartime though, didn't it? Where've you been all night?"
>Reckless drags the beer inside while she repsponds
>"Was preoccupied. Spoke to civilians."
>"You've been talking around with the horses, sarge? Doesn't seem so military of you."
>"Quiet corporal. Sergeant does sergeant wants."
>after this short exchange, Reckless finally lays down the beer and invites the soldiers to collect each of their own, which they do gladly
>Reckless says little more the entire night, and does nothing except listen in as the soldiers reminisce about home
>>
>>30924222
>when the soldiers wake for assessment the next day, her lieutenant is completely put off to see that Reckless has been apparently missing the whole morning
>early-going ponies might spot her trotting again down the streets of Ponyville, which are, ironically, a little less empty in the early morning, while the marines are still asleep
>though many of the ponies tend to avoid her, she will often stop to ask one of them for directions to a place called Sugarcube Corner, though only a few respond kindly
>at one point, however, she encounters a pony who gladly gives her directions, but also informs her that the shop she's looking for is closed at this hour, and that she'll have to wait a while if she wants to see anyone inside
>when she finally arrives at the shop, she stays put at the door, waiting for a while as the minutes pass by
>as she stands there, and then sits there, she makes quite a sight to any onlooker, and the ponies watch her with confusion and interest
>hours pass, but the doors to the shop remain closed and Reckless becomes ever more impatient
>a small crowd of foals has gathered around the corner
>although she does nothing for several hours, they watch her intently and only a few get bored and leave
>it takes Reckless an extraordinarily long time to notice this gathering
>when she finally does, she looks over to the foals and gives them an angry look, making it clear she doesn't want to be messing with them while she's trying to mind her own business
>most of the foals back off and turn back around the corner, though a small few of them stay to see what the soldier pony will do next
>Reckless is not looking to order ponies around, however, and goes back to her standing and staring in the same manner as she had before, without paying the remaining foals any mind
>>
>>30924227
>after time crawls on a little while longer, however, Reckless finally loses her temper
>visibly upset, she stands straight where she is and looks out in some indefinite direction down the street, startling the passerby, and shouts
>"I look like have all day? Ponies have no respect for marine!"
>she then kicks back in anger towards the wall of Sugarcube Corner, nearly falling flat into the dirt as a result
>when the expression is finished she stomps up to the door of the shop, and raises her hoof to knock
>she pulls it back when, at that moment, she sees the door opening, and narrowly avoids striking a pink pony straight in the snout
>having grown so accustomed to the building being completely dormant, Reckless stands for a moment in shock
>that is, she attempts to, but is thrown back by the pony advancing out of the doorway and straight into her path
>Reckless backs up several feet away from the door, the entire way being stared down with cold eyes from the opposing pony, before said pony finally has something to say
>"You! What do YOU want?"
>the pony trots again against Reckless, who is forced to back up ever further
>the sergeant, provoked, tries to yell out
>"Civilian pony! Do not confront soldier this way! Do not-"
>"I like a lot of ponies pal, but I don't like a pony like you. I don't like soldiers and I don't like uniforms, got it?"
>Reckless's nature kicks in and she digs her hind hoofs in the ground, causing the pink pony to collide with her before falling back
>by this point, nearly all of the foals from before have returned and begun to surround the scene, watching closely
>the pink pony stands back for a moment and allows Reckless a precious moment to make her case
>"You are Pinkie Pie?"
>at this point, the pony combines her disdain with confusion
>"Yes? How do you know that? Are you coming for me? Are you gonna take me away now too?"
>"I not know what you mean."
>"Oh yeah? Then what DO you want?"
>"Please, give me moment. I want to talk."

>>30932216
Oh yeah! I liked that one. I was secretly hoping he'd finish it.
>>
>>30924234
I've read this green so far, and I think I can elaborate on that other anon's problems with it
-the princesses are arbitrarily missing, which is a sore point for a number of canon FiM episodes
-the setting is a military occupied Equestria with ponies being taken as prisoners of war, which might come off as a little too dark/gritty for some and could rub them the wrong way
-the townsponies and the sarge are OOC, with the ponies being outright unkind to Reckless and Sergeant Reckless herself seeming to have little to none of the personality that the actual Sergeant Reckless had
>>
>>30933809
original complaint-haver here
this as well
>>
>>30933809
Thanks for your feedback. I can see where characterization is an issue for this story. After a couple weeks of writing it'll be difficult to fix but I'll try to work something in.
>>
>>30936164
fix the other issues too m8
it's barely readable as-is
make these fixes and it's golden
>>
>>30936189
It's not quite that simple
Like he said, after a couple weeks of writing it'll be a difficult enough to fix the characterization
Not to mention that to change the setting or do something about the princesses, he'd have to start over entirely

>>30936164
I'm glad you appreciate my feedback
I couldn't write a story to save my life, so it makes me happy to help out someone who can
>>
>>30936189
I couldn't change those without rewriting the entire story, and I don't think it would be very beneficial anyway
>>
>>30936314
>>30936320
>he'd have to start over entirely
my point
you found it
also
how would it not be beneficial?
>>
>>30936325
I mean to say it would not be beneficial because, for the first point, the disappearance of the princesses was just a shorthand justification of the setting I wrote and won't actually have any direct impact on the story. For the second point, the POW thing will only come in during my plans for the ending, and I've tried to make it less gritty than it potentially could be.
>>
>>30936394
nigga you not only have to rewrite your story, you also have to rethink it now
no green is better than shitty green
so fix the entirety of your shit story or get out
>>
>>30936408
You say all these things but you don't make any effort to explain it
>>
>>30936751
do I have to spoonfeed you the meaning to such obvious things?

>nigga you not only have to rewrite your story, you also have to rethink it now
his story already needed a rewrite because of its various flaws(explained >>30933809 )
, but now he needs to come up with a whole new story

>no green is better than shitty green
I believe this is obvious enough

>so fix the entirety of your shit story or get out
already explained
>>
>>30936775
I mean that you don't explain the problems with my story. Some of those problems I admitted, and want to fix, but I told you why I can't or won't change others. Is there any other criticism you have?
>>
>>30936867
i just did explain the problems
my last criticism is that you aren't doing what's best for your story
more than one person has told you that there's problems with your story and you're only partly listening
for the love of fuck
f i x y o u r s t o r y
>>
>>30936885
>he isn't doing what's best for his story
I'd say what's best is to finish it up while doing what he can to patch up the characterization, which seems to be the plan. It's always sad to see a story left unfinished after all
>more than one person has told him there's problems
only at least two and I'm one of them, but I provided constructive criticism
>he's only partly listening
you're asking him to scrap what he has going and do something else entirely. I'd rather wait for him to finish this green and then write something else if he wants
not every green is going to be to your liking, and many threads are starved for content as it is
>>
>>30936982
You keep doing what you're doing and helping the writefag

>>30936885
You're being unnecessarily dickish. Stop. Don't like it? Don't read it. You're not the literary police. You have everybody's permission to leave. The exit's behind that little X in the top-right corner of the screen. Just don't tell him to quit the story. It can set up a pattern of bad behavior that too many writefags around /mlp/ share.

Can we start including pastebins in the OPs for these threads?

Sure. I've got all the threads archived so I can make a warpone pastebin

Pastebin is up: https://pastebin.com/u/warpone

I only have >>30940090 in there for now (I copy/pasted the full thing into a new url, now being hosted by this user) because I am too lazy to round up the other greens for now. If you would, point out some greens to me to make my life easier. I'll comb through the old threads later.

>stealing pageviews from writers by copy pasting into your own pastebin

what i meant was just putting a bunch of pastebin links into the OP, because its not like the OP gets filled by anything else
>>
>>30941748
I didn't even think of that. I just thought it'd be convenient to hold them all in one place. Well, I guess I'll just put individual pastebin links in there, then. So far, I think we have just the one.

I guess I could also just post the links to those pastebins in the pastebin...
>links to links
I know, but at least it'd get the pageviews, right?
>>
>>30941764
Use that pastebin to make pastes of greens that dont have a pastebin, and either just include the original links in the next OP or do the >links to links thing you suggested
