ooc Equestria Forward (OOC)

[skbl17 199]

No, and I'd preferrably like to have Dakon as my OC for this story.

 

Mainly because I've got the perfect idea for him.

 

I have a few concerns:

 

1) Dakon's chronological age is 118, but you also mention that "Dakon and his family lived near the beginning of the rule of Discord". For the most part, all historic events follow the canon timeline, so Discord's reign would have been more than 1,000 years ago (he was turned into stone by the princesses before the Nightmare Moon incident that led to her 1,000 year long banishment). Either Dakon will have to be aged up to more than 1,000, or you'll have to change up his backstory.

 

2) I have no problems with Dakon being an alicorn (no Rule 5 violation,) but you'll have to be careful with his power.

 

If you can address my concerns with Dakon's age and backstory, you'll be good to go.

1. I will change the backstory so that his age will make sense with the timeline. Don't worry about that.

 

2. I was not planning on using his powers. One of the key elements is that Equestria is evilving to a more technologized civilization, and we all know that people forsake their "ancient ways" for the future. Otherwise, we would still be living in caves.

 

I'll message you my OC's role idea.

Good to know. Approved.

So, does the post order go like it does on the list of approved characters? Or is it like a spur of the moment kind of thing?

As for the map: I've decided to move quickly on getting a map of the Applelanta area up first, so that everyone can have some kind of reference to work off of before the weekend's over.

Spur of the moment. If you're on the list, you're free to post whenever; there's no "post order".

 

Also, bronislav84 still needs to post, so I wouldn't post anything in the RP thread yet unless it's "scheming" or something. No direct actions yet.

[EnderPrince 49]

Yeah, I know. Things still need to unfold before I can make it public.

[skbl17 199]

Well, the Applelanta map is finished!

 

Because my laptop is not a beast in terms of processing power, some stuff is excluded, namely:

 

- AMTA lines

- Street names

- Topography and elevation

- Minor side roads and streets (yes, there are way too many streets to fit on one map)

[FancyHorse 1,209]

Imgur isn't compatible to me phone.

I can't view the map sadly.

[skbl17 199]

Oh. I could try and attach the file.

[FancyHorse 1,209]

That map is well made!

 

But grr stupid phone!

 

I'll have to jump on a PC in the future and view it.

 

I can't see the interest points.

[skbl17 199]

Okay, here's a new version (reduced size, but still large because I want the points of interest to show).

So I can post as long as it's a scheming post?

Yes.

Approved. Enjoy!

Approved. Enjoy!

Thanks

No it's fine; it wasn't forced at all.

[skbl17 199]

I was wondering, what is a good amount of development time for the remote controlled wingpack product, and when should it go up for sale?

 

I don't know, I've never made a wingpack before! 

 

I'd say it depends on how quick Lektra and Bolt Solutions can move. Maybe a few days to a few months, I'm not sure. When that happens, they could go up for sale, unless you want some kind of "pre-order" thing set up. There are no regulators at the moment (the air sector is relatively young) so there wouldn't have to be much of a wait between development and sale.

[skbl17 199]

They have a plastic mockup for when Sparky had to scan it to turn into a functioning version of it. Cheaper to make out of plastic, since they didn't plan on making the real thing originally. All it would need is to be made metal and enchanted. Bolt Solutions Magitek is a skill based trade. Although it's called a factory, it's really just a bunch of ponies doing hoofmade assembly then Unicorns casting the enchantment for it to fly and accept commands from an attached remote. Zero electrical. It's all mechanical and a spell.

 

Couple days to start shipping the first ones, you think?

Since the process of designing the wingpacks is done, and there's an assembly line in place, I'd give it a couple of days.

[skbl17 199]

Well, that escalated quickly. I was hoping that we'd be able to calm down from the events of Monday (in-roleplay) until Blueblood's meeting on Friday (in-roleplay,) but it seems that there's been another explosion. I'll allow it, but for now, it will have to be written off as a lone car bomb and not the focus of some new sub-plot. Of course, it's likely that everypony else (from the under-pressure police to other regular NPCs) will be on edge because of the three terrorist events so far, so keep that in mind if you're using NPCs.

 

In general, I'd like to keep things more-or-less quiet until Friday (in-roleplay). Roleplay time, it is almost noon on Tuesday, so the roleplay has only lasted for just over 24 hours. If there's agreement from all active players, time can be sped up a little bit to make Friday come quicker.

I'm having difficulty keeping track of what day of week it is. I apologize.

Don't worry, a lone car bomb was what I was going for. Nothing serious, and I won't do anything so dramatic for the rest of the week. Sorry if it was a bit over-the-top, I just really had to Michael Bay something that day.

 

I got nothing going on except meeting with your character.

Sure, but it'll most likely be a passive meeting, like in a corridor, and my character will probably be looking and acting like the government official he murdered.

[EnderPrince 49]

Fault on my part, sorry. I am planning, however, to interact face -to-face with some, if not all, characters in this RP.

[skbl17 199]

That's okay, I just want to make sure nobody's getting too far ahead.

[skbl17 199]

Guys, especially skbl, is it a problem I won't be able to post until Tuesday at the earliest? Going to a Con for Valentine's Day *cough* Hearts and Hooves Day weekend, and I will need to prepare. If it is a problem, I can try to squeeze in a post beforehand.

 

Preferably, you should try to get a post in beforehand, but I won't rush you.
