What's with the pony fetish on everyone's flags?

The cancer of the internet....

Ponies, or teenagers?

Ponies, or teenagers?

Yes.

The cancer spreads to CyberNations

Just thought I'd bring you up to date on the ponies, since Fine Yeldan Ponies seems to have CTE'd a while back. My pony nation, Magical Equestria, passed 3 billion in population today, and its region Pony Lands is up to 134 nations (61st in the world!)

I'm trying to corner the market on ponies here, but unfortunately there's another longstanding pony region, Equestria, that boasts 113 nations. I'm trying to figure out how to lure their population over to my region without making it look like I'm poaching.

Sugar cubes?

Heh - someone has taken the liberty of creating an NSwiki article for Pony Lands. It consists of a single sentence. I'm sorely tempted to link to this thread under "More information."

Hmm...we're rather you not; I don't want folks thinking ponies are an AO conspiracy.

I haven't played much with NSwiki; maybe I should sit down and give the Pony Lands entry a proper write-up.

Hey, Pony Lands has a lot of votes! What is their WA philosophy? Even if it does tend toward fluffiness, they can be persuaded, can't they? I mean, they are a TEK franchise.

And in completely unrelated brony news: you can add Walmart to the ever-growing Brony Enemies List, which already includes Fox News, Minecraft, YouTube, facebook, the World Assembly, the NS moderating team, and well, the entire Internet, really. Because Walmart obviously screwed up on their brony T-shirt design just to hate on grown men for indulging their totally healthy and not-creepy-at-all pony fetish.

I'm not sure you want to know the answer to this, but here goes:

The Founder and WA delegate positions in Pony Lands are there mainly for RP purposes. As Founder, my RP character is Princess Celestia, the ruler of the ponies in the show. Princess Luna, our WA delegate, is of course Princess Luna, Celestia's younger sister and 2nd in command. I never figured there'd be a time when I'd say with a straight face that I'm RPing a pony princess, but there you go.

Since Magical Equestria isn't a WA nation, I've told the region that we're adopting a hands-off (hooves-off?) policy toward the WA. Princess Luna has pretty much free rein (damn, you can't escape horse-puns here, can you?) to vote in the WA as they like. I have TG'd them once or twice about proposals I really cared about, but I'm resisting the temptation to abuse my Founder's influence here.
