Occupied Equestria: Cabin in the Woods

This week, in "Occupied Equestria":

Wondering through through the Changeling lands at night on the road between Bales and Whinnyapolis, Onyx, Brie, and Spark have stumbled upon a set of farm ponies trying to hide their cattle in the forest, away from their changeling occupiers. While rescuing a cow, Onyx and Brie have taken heavy damage, and so they followed them to the cabin of a local woodspony. But they found the woodspony and a farmer replaced by changelings, and after a skirmish are alone and wounded in the cabin in the woods.

Over in Baltimare, Dark Star has decided to give up his life as Dark Star, the Earth Pony farm colt, to become Tyrel Jackson, or "Gold Chains," a zebra and aspiring rap artist. Through the magic of Valmorification, it is possible. Iron is freaking out after possibly having received a message from God herself. That, and his usual social awkwardness. Silver is cashing out on a long standing set of projects, and is readying himself for the next phase

In the far south, the area has gone from kind of Mexican to super Mexican. Whereas before there would be Tenochitlan, Saltmane coast, Temple, the Forbidden Jungle, and the East Forbidden Jungle, now it is Tenoctictlan, weird nahuatl name I can’t spell or pronounce, weird nahuatl name I can’t spell or pronounce, weird nahuatl name I can’t spell or pronounce, and weird nahuatl name I can’t spell or pronounce. It’s like going from my hometown, where 30% of the population was Mexican, to where I live now, where 92% of the population is Mexican. Seriously, every single state south of dusk-away and East of Stableside (the entire southeast) now has a name that is Nahuatl or Mayan and is 100% impossible for an Indi-European language speaker to spell or pronounce. Maybe it’s a plus, but I noticed that the pun I use, “neighuatl,” is now used in the game as well.

In the Baltimare Socialist Republic, there is now a split between the anarchist “libertarian socialists,” and the Communists who have not gone full retard. Over in Las Pegasus, a crime syndicate can take over. That nation is not playable, but I know that they have the option to seek support from their own version of the Blackhooves. I’m hoping it will be an Objectivist-Ayn Randian faction there. Anyways it looks good for Spectral Streak.

And in the Confederation of Southern States.... we have reach the End of History. Just look at pic related

I sure hope they don't travel too far in that Confederacy road. Holy Hecc, that looks like it's going to end in a dumpster fire.

Seems Iron is mayan-like now, too.

Still, congratulations for Silver Rain's presence to be so impactful he actually created a gang in the actual game. Kudos.

Nigger, I don’t know what my own characters are named, and I often have to stop the game for like 30 minutes to go back and try to find it and wait for my laptop to load up several threads so I can search them. Be grateful I can remember one of their names

>Confederacy road
THERE ARE NO BRAKES ON THE STATES RIGHTS TRAIN. Seriously, what’s the issue? We already have like 4 Nazi factions, two Bolshevik factions, and fucking IngSoc from 1984, we can add our Southern Heritage.

I’ve thought of Iron as more like the Comanche Indian, but I guess that’s a whole other story

I have a feeling it will turn into some sort of le epic satire kind of nation, but it's only me and my paranoia.

I'm rather surprised you considered Iron as an indian, but looking at the history, it's kinda funny.
Through horses, the Comanches expelled the Apaches. I love that small tidbit.

So, you said that there was a Communist faction in the Baltimare Republic that wasn't yet full retard. What other Communist factions are similar to them? Are they like the Longswordian Partisans, the Stalliongrader Progressives, or the Feathesian National Bolsheviks?

As for the final dossier part, what was meant to be added in broad strokes?

Do you mean what was the Dossier intended to add? Mostly the history of the place, how it came to the interest of law enforcement, why so little has been done, why it is important now, why a proper law enforcement response has not already been levied, the periods of most activity, and some characters

Yes.
Hm, it seems necessary in order to perhaps emphatize for the workers/organizers, solidify the police's lack of response to blatantly illegal activities and present some sort of urgency to the matter.
Simply put, it would strengthen PC motivation to stop this, but also allow for some diplomacy if Silver wants to.
Because let's be honest, Dark Star and Iron are not the understanding type.
I'd say you go for it.

Agreed. Seems like the only reasons they were made Communist is because Harmonists aren't very well known for fighting, and there were already Non-aligned and Fascist factions in the civil war. Other than that, there's only very flimsy connections between them and the ideology, and they even draw attention to it in the "Internationalism" focus where they mention that the partisans aren't as bloodthirsty as other Communists, and how they wish to preserve their faith and culture.

Skies wouldn't really consider talking to these ponies unless she gets to kill them later in order to stop them forever and win.
Dark Star would mainly kill everything for seeing them as ponies who took his mother and life.
Iron would not really care for anything, except possibly the zebra illegals since he's courting one.
Silver's the only one who would even want to diplomacy.

Not sure if he'd do so if it would sabotage his mission. Still, Silver's going to give him a couple tips on avoiding getting into fights in that kind of location once play resumes.

I suppose they weren't much of a threat to consider them killed, especially after Chonyx the Chadstal Pony merely stared at both of them, their legs giving out because of it.
I have a backup character who would be more interested in doing that. Also a mind magic one (Psion) she is.

Really not that different with magic, honestly. Simple RPG stuff of 'use spell' costing you a secondary spell meter instead of limited spell slots per day. Way easier to manage on both sides.
In fact, most of them have annoying mind-affecting flag that limits the power's versatility.
To top it all off, it's SRD, too. No homebrew here.

There's also a sneaky type and a healer among who we would need. Blue Skies can fill out the sneak roll, and, if she can be convinced to help, Cauldron and her potions can help for the healer role. Silver can pay her if she requires it.

That's why Iron'd be escorting him to the other tavern to avoid paranoid waifu stealing.
I honestly don't know any other healers, and Silver's church acquaintance wouldn't want to do Black Hooves work.
Also rack in on that money for gang-free independence, bby!
Or a potionmaster mademare, whichever works better/makes her happy.

Silver's probably gonna need another well paying job to be able to afford the home/guildhouse he'd want to purchase, but sure.

Also, seriously, Silver will NOT try to steal Iron's zeebfu. Far from it, he'd try to help him out. GM, if Silver does try to steal her, remember this post, and strike Silver down dead on the spot.
