The Shadow Stallion

Im mostly informed on everything before the 1400s Only things I like past that is the age of piracy and the two world wars. Amberdust, don't assume your military is 100% THE BEST. Also this is a raid, not a declaration of war. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Also I need to throw in that most nations don't even really know each other right now, or at least don't have any diplomatic ties.

Sorry ^.^" Didn't mean to offend. Hm, will need to look up Fredrick sometime. My history expertise lies in Scandinavia, England, Japan, and well... The crusades. Mixed with pirateering stuff.... (I have a lot of random history knowledge lol)

Im confused by your character. Perhaps do some Grammar and spelling checks? I take it your monarch is like King Richard the Lionheart of England. Where he only cares about his war and not so much the people?

Yes trains and stuff will be allowed. This is a light raid, its not attacking any major city of anything like that. Undefended border town, probably 50 villagers max (That adds up to about 5 being killed and 10 being captured. With 35 survivors that will probably send a messenger to you to deal with these raids). This was more to draw you into getting involved into RPing with/against my nation.

Counter finally looked at the clock and paused. He frowned and then realized "AHHHH! IM LATE! AGAIN!" He shouted. The librarian hushed him. "Sorry." He said quietly as he packed his book and game away. He then proceeded to make a mad dash for his classroom. He arrived in a few moments, he opened the door and ran in. "IM HERE!" He shouted as he tripped and skidded across the floor, hitting the back wall face first. "Argh......" He groaned.

Borders of Konyushnia Raiders.... The twenty-three ponies attacked the undefended border town. Some of the inhabitants had fought back, but the majority were subdued. Those that did fight were summarily killed by the experienced Volund raiders. They made off with a rather large amount of food and water and set several of the village's buildings on fire. 20% of the survivors of the raid were taken as slaves. The rest of the population was released as the raiders left in their air longship for Volund. Attack on Konyushnia: Konyushnian Small Village, Undefended Raiders: Suffering from very light injuries, barely scratches. Villagers: 10% resisted and killed, 20% taken as slaves, 70% survived Village: Sacked, 45% of village burned to the ground. Very small food resource gain for Volund, Very small food resource loss for Konyushnia.

(Totally confused and lost....) Counterstrike was in the library playing on his gaming device on mute. He was using a book as cover so nopony could see what he was actually doing. His tongue stuck out the side of his mouth as he concentrated on the device and his eyes darted to different parts of the screen. To any casual observer it looked like he was enthusiastically reading a book.

Well Blackfire isn't cleared and I'd still need to check over the nation and give my yay or Neigh. Also cool beans or should I say sour Kraut XD

"Hey! Where are you going? I'm sorry, you just sort of startled me!" Counter said as he quickly put away his gaming device and followed Midnight. He hadn't meant to be mean, he was just very surprised by Midnight's sudden appearance. He arrived at the scene and saw her standing up for somepony that was being bullied. It made him feel worse about sort of snapping at her. "Yeah, Leave him alone!" Counter shouted out. He didn't like bullies either and he was impressed by Midnight's bravery. He also thought that by standing together the bully would be intimidated and back off.

"Yeesh! By all the ponies in the world, I hate stray shots!" Counterstrike said, continuing his rant about the unfairness of his 8-bit game. It was Galaga and Counterstrike had a very high score, but it wasn't high enough by Counterstrike's standards. After he calmed down a bit with some self ranting he felt a presence behind him and his eyes widened slightly. His head didn't move but his eyes shifted and he saw a form in his peripheral vision. "AHHH!" He shouted and sprawled to the side, looking at the form. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING SNEAKING UP ON ME LIKE THAT?!?!" He said frantically.

So would you be willing to RP with my gamer pony? .3.

Shayla eyed the group and smirked inwardly. She had seen what she guessed to be the leader, assessing their numbers and found them small. Her face showed no sign of fear or worry though. She was a bit surprised at the greeting. "The honor is ours. What brings you to Oberjarl Gunnar's lands, Ambassador of the Wolven Empire?" Shayla asked, getting straight to the point. She wondered if any of the wolves here were related to the dire wolves that her nation was at war with. These wolves seemed different from the bloodthirsty dire wolf savages she had fought, but she could be wrong. Either way she wouldn't hide her cloak, it was a symbol of pride and honor for her people. She wouldn't remove it even if it did antagonize these wolves. Again she smirked inwardly at the thought of adding a few more wolf pelts to her collection of cloaks and trophies. Shayla drew her soldiers to a halt about 25 feet away from Seth, not wishing to draw any closer in case these Wolves did decide to attack. She waited for an answer. ----------------------------------------------------- A small air longship glided towards the borders of Konyushnia. Volund raiders were preparing to do what they had to do to secure the future of their nation. The lesser jarl that was leading this raid was named Brandr, a young earth pony seeking to make a name for himself to the oberjarl. If this raid were successful enough he might even move up in recognition and respect, but first he had to succeed in this light raid. A small village was seen ahead and the air longship was settled down behind the cover of some trees. Six ponies were left to guard the air longship. Twenty-three desperate and experienced warrior ponies set off to raid the Konyushnia village. They approached the borders of this small settlement.

First of all, Blackfire and Silentflight haven't even been accepted/approved. Second, If you have been paying attention me and Wolven discussed the rainbow dash issue and thus rainbow dash is not affiliated with Iris Wind. I don't know about all this pegasonia stuff. I may have just forgotten by accident. Yes you are allowed to post if your nation has been accepted but hasn't been moved yet. Just look at Arkman. lol. unclaimed with be neutral. So sorry if you wanted to attack equestria or the crystal empire. Just look over them as non-opposing forces to the rest of the nations, not wanting to aid or hinder anypony until they have been claimed. No dominating of these nations, but they will not hinder nor aid your nation.

Counterstrike was still playing his game, completely oblivious to the outside world as he stared at the 8 bit screen. All of a sudden he shouted "OH COME ON! THATS UNFAIR!" Counterstrike sighed with exasperation as he put down his game. "I was THAT close to finishing the level!" He muttered to himself a bit frustrated. Of course he wasn't talking to anypony, he didn't really have friends to talk with, but it still didn't stop him from talking to himself.

Steelhide cursed inwardly as he was so easily defeated, but then he felt the light kiss on his forehead and his eyes widened. The darkness faded and Luna was gone. Steelhide felt a strange feeling inside. It took him a few moments before he stood up and a small card fell out of his armor. He picked it up and looked at it and smiled, before tucking it in a safer spot. He turned his head back and forth, looking for any sign of Luna other than the card. "Princess?" He called out, he was unsure if they were still sparring or not, he couldn't be too sure with her.

I'd be interested.... for stuff and junk lol

Well I got my character hooked up with a gameboy.... or something similar to it. Doubt you can really get much good out of hacking those though. Maybe your character is a bit of a kleptomaniac? Meaning they have an impulsive urge to steal that they can't control and they don't really notice when they do it. Or just a thief-like pony?

It's not that equestria and the crystal empire don't exist, it is that no one has claimed them yet. They are canon nations and can be claimed if somebrony would make a sheet for em and want to RP as them. Likewise the characters from Equestria and the crystal empire can be claimed. (Rainbow Dash, Twi, AJ, Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Shining armor, etc.) Just nopony has claimed them.

Counterstrike was sitting underneath a tree with his back resting against a tree. He held in his hooves a small gaming device and was furiously pressing buttons as he played a game. Laser noises and such could be heard coming from the device. Counterstrike's eyes were wide, bloodshot, and focused on the game. "Down to my last life.....Gotta make this count!" He said to himself as he continued to furiously press buttons. "Come on.... COME ON! Extra life, Where are you?" He asked to nopony in particular.

Thats the politics thread, only leaders and nations participate in it For the map, we had someone that offered to make one for us but I think they are too busy. If anyone is willing to draw one or something, feel free to submit it here and I'll post it up, if it matches up. Interesting character, but keep in mind to have medieval-esque type weaponry up to the gunpowder era (Not past it) Cannons and muskets and such. If you can come up with creative weaponry/vehicles, feel free to include them. I'd like more for your nation leader's personality, but I feel like it has a proper balance despite the lack of wording, So character is accepted, SharpWit. (P.S. I am German, no pressure XD) Firehearted, your nation should be Okay. So I have to add: Wolven Medeis Firehearted's nation and OC's (If I forgot to put them in already x.x)

The scout and Gunnar's housecarl Shayla had made good time as they spotted the wolven envoy from afar. "There they are, Housecarl." The scout said as the rest of the unit caught up. There were three pegasi, four earth ponies, and one other unicorn, that was excluding the scout and Shayla. "What is our plan, Housecarl?" The scout asked. "We will approach them, but we shouldn't throw out caution." Shayla said, she turned to the troop and barked a few orders. Two of the pegasi took off into the clouds above, taking cover and hiding above. Two of the earth ponies and the unicorn went ahead and hid in the snow, the unicorn provided a small snow flurry which added to the camoflauge. Shayla had explicitly ordered that none of them were to act unless she gave a very specific signal. Shayla looked at the scout, the other remaining pegasus, and the other two earth ponies who were all clad in armor. "Let us meet them then. Remember, you lot keep looking tough, even though I know you all are milkdrinkers." The group chuckled and Shayla smirked before getting serious again. "Let me do the talking. If any of you jump then I'll thrash your hides myself. Understood?" "Yes, housecarl!" The group replied. "Thats what I like to hear, boys. Now follow me!" Shayla said as she turned, her dire wolf cloak flowing behind her as she went to meet the Wolven Envoy.

Name: Counterstrike Age: 17 years Personality: Quiet and introverted. Is friendly to newcomers, but comes across as being socially awkward. High addiction to video games and RPGs. Really nerdy, but has a good sense of empathy. He always loves a good adventure. He can be bookish at times as well, when he can't play games he reads, sometimes about video games. If he gets picked on though he will fight back, usually with a physical response.

(He prefers to be bullied than watching somepony else being bullied.) Label: Game Addict, Bookworm, Mega nerd Reasoning behind label: If he gets deprived of video games too long he seems to start "losing it", going a bit crazy. Bookworm because he reads books if he can't play video games, these help a bit with his gaming addiction. Mega nerd because he is super smart and used to wear glasses before he got his eyes fixed. Looks: (Pegasus) 17 years old, he stands slightly taller than most others his age, he is also a little bit more slender. He has a dark gray coat, and a dark brown/black mane and tail.

I understand illusive. I'll leave your characters here though so if you wanted to rejoin later, we don't have to go through a large painful submission process. : ) SharpWit Never too late. The more the merrier. : D

So.... when will we be starting? .3.
