Set six years after season 6, Occupied Equestria presents an alternative history where the Changelings have conquered half of Equestria, while a former Equestrian colony - soured to Princess Twilight's notion of harmony with all creatures because of their encounters with griffins - Invaded and took the other half. In Baltimare and the Equestrian Southeast, the magic of friendship has weakened, as Communists, Changeling infiltrators, Fascists, gangs, and corrupt creepy politicians threaten the city. This role play is based in large part upon the Equestria at War mod for Hearts of Iron 4, and uses D&d 3.5e mechanics.
The long train ride to Bales is over, with Brie, Onyx, and Spark reaching their destination a little bruised but not dead or arrested. Before them lies a new and unfamiliar city and world, at the crossroads of Equestria's past and present, and also the Changeling Occupied Zone and East Equestria. In Baltimare, Dark Star prepares to set out on a mission to track down and arrest unfaithful and unreliable local law enforcement that have been leaking information to rebel forces. Silver may finally have a new toy he can use to clear the Catacombs of their undead presence. Iron, meanwhile, has drifted further into an temple in his search for a treasure sough by an archaeological expedition that was ambushed by bandits.

>>101226That's what griffon lovers would say, because their words can't be used to pun as effectively.
*Read my long lore pieces
Do you fuckers understand me now?
>>101239Ah, so that's what you meant. Whoops.
Don't worry, I read the lore pieces.
Was it autocorrect that made you put life instead of lore? >>101239We did read them. Calm the fuck down, Jesus Fucking Christ. Where the fuck did all this come from?
>>101240Well I know
you did because you clearly acknowledged them
>>101241Again, fuck you too
>>101242You know what, I'm going to go so you can cool down and think about exactly
what the fuck you think I did that would deserve you telling me "fuck you".
>>101242>>101243Now's not the time to go full ape mode, you two. That's my role, not yours.
In any case, GM is signalling that Silver, the player, haven't really achknowledged a lore piece he worked on and is currently angry about it. Try to analyze the GM's recent responses for any interesting tidbits that stand out as important lore-wise.
>>101244*shrugs*
I don't know what to tell ya. I came here, we had a pun-off, then he starts going off on us for no reason. The last thing of lore he wrote was for Iron, and I thought it was pretty good. I'm sorry if he needed verbal confirmation, but as Silver wasn't involved in that scene and I couldn't think of anything else to comment or add beside "bretty gud" I declined from commenting.
So, that leaves me with thinking he either is looking for comments on the lore piece he wrote for Iron's dream, or he wrote something and it didn't post to the actual site.
>>101245I feel this is not only not acknowledging the lore piece presented by Iron, but a combination between our confusion over his comment as well as other stuff IRL we shouldn't really know about. Maybe work stress or a heated family argument.
Try not to let an anonymous person on the Internet using harsh language shock and disturb you, for it only breeds more harsh language that only makes things worse. No matter if the person didn't properly communicate his message or you don't understand the message being sent, don't retaliate with your own swear words and aggression.
My case should be enough testament of that. >>101246That all comes with a caveat, that you shouldn't just come out and tell someone "fuck you" and expect them to take it well. I especially don't take getting cussed out well. If it's a misunderstanding, or IRL drama, I get it, I know how that can impact how you reply online, but it's at that point where you need to take a step back, just like how I have to learn to take a step back in moments like this.
And could you not talk down to me, please? I apologize if you aren't, it's just that with everything going on it comes across as such to me.
I have no idea what case you're talking about, but alright? >>101247An understandable claim. No one wants to be badmouthed. However, shitflinging is going to slow down the game and cause other players discomfort. GM was the firestarter, but you don't have to be the fuel to spread it, even though the spark is tempting to pick up.
Trust me. I am only interested in resolving the current issue because it's going to halt the current story progress as some time is needed to deal with these sort of situations, and I'm not talking down to either you or the GM since it would go against the primary objective of making amends and restore order to keep playing.
I'm the guy who basically first shit talked a character enough to almost have her killed due to my poor tact. We both know the character we're talking about.Hint: You're currently infatuated enough to date. >>101248Fair enough, I suppose. You have a good point.
Oh, right, I remember seeing that when I first joined.>>101242Sorry for the misunderstanding, there. Yes, I did read the lore you wrote for Iron, and I thought it was pretty good.
So, seeing that there's apparently not going to be anything else going on tonight...I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow?
>>101256He's an imposter, I'm the REAL Eeeeee!
Does anypony want to play?
>>101258I'm always up to play.
>>101256>>101257I know how to find out who is the real BriEEEE.
>>101260Aww. What am I going to do with all of these mangoes, now?
>>101261Reee, I don't have all my reaction images on this device Xp
>>101261Besides, those mangos aren't fully ripe yet
>>101262Awwww. Poor Eeeee. Here, have a mango.
>>101264Better. So last time, the Lings were guilt tripping Brie about wanting to go outside (fuggin Hunchback of Notre Damme and shit), how are we doing?
>>101263>>101263Would a real batpony even care?
>>101265Yes. That's exactly right. Brie was pondering the merits of taking two small children into an alien city while he intends to do criminal work with unsavory characters, or locking them up unattended inside of a small room
>>101266No, he already determined that he was better off keeping them close, that way he at least knew what sort of shit they were getting him into.
>>101267Very well then. Proceed with caution
>>101268So assuming Sparks isn't joining, Brie would try to find a pawn shop or a (((merchant))) who might accept such goods without too many questions
>>101269If he's looking for Griffins, he may be disappointed. Baltimare is by the Ocean, and thus is easily accessible to Griffin immigrants. Bales... not so much
>>101270Who said Griffons? I said (or implied) unsavorable merchants with questionable ethics who might turn a blind eye to unregisterd merchandise (or worse, merchandise that might resiter badly)
>>101273A nice enough pawn shop with a charcoal gray earth pony. Not really any sign this shop buys and sells firearms, but who knows
>>101275"bleib nah Jugetiere". Brie enters the shop
>>101275Is there anything I'm missing from
>>101197 and
>>101198 in order to make the bombs I'm wanting to make?
>>101278"Hello my good stallion. I was hoping to see what you have in the form of armor."
>>101279That’s a roll-die if ever there were one
>>101280What do you mean? I just wanna see if they have body armor?
"He's lying, he thinks this is gonna blow up in his face"
YOU'RE NOT PART OF THIS GAME!
"Oh no? GM, check test"
God dammit
>>101281But there is nothing on test...
ROLL. DIE!
>>101284"... Take a look around back"
[1d20 = 7]>>101285I ain't goin' out there nigga
>>101285IF you're still there, the response was given yesterday.
[Pyrotechnician Horse Noises]
>>101292My nose hath been booped!
My pride has been shattered!
>>101296Darn it. You better quit your booping before I fall unconscious.
>>101300boops gunAh ha! I have shamed your gun with a boop!
>>101302Ow! You big meanie! You better apologize for your transgression or else I'll...
Uh...
Do you dislike getting very salty japoneighse peanuts?
>>101304Passing time.
Are you ready to continue?
Last post should be
>>101211 >>101211Pear: “What do you mean?”
>>101306"The idols looks similar enough and, according to this, it used the power of the dead to do supernatural things." his eyes narrow in thought, looking slightly upwards. "I think. I am not too far off, am I?"
>>101304I'll be around to continue Brie's adventure of WTF have I gotten myself into this time in an hour or so
>>101307She blinks, but then answers
“They believed their gods could be called upon to avenge slights, and they believed their gods had control over many parts of nature”
>>101308In the last episode’s adventure, Brie was noping his way out of going to the back of a pawn shop
>>101302>>101303>>101304>>101308You thought you were safe...
But you weren't!
No snootendootle is safe when I'm around!
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
>>101311Anyways, I'm still curious about the validity of
>>101197 and
>>101198. Would Silver be missing anything from his shopping list to be able to make some bombs?
>>101312What kind of fertilizer, and how do the detonators work?
