The Banned Game

Banned because In the dark past before history begun, ponykind learned to fear. Huddled in the darkness of Everfree Forest, our ancestors listened as Manticores stalked through the night around them. Deep in the caves of Equestria, later ponies kept watch around their fires in the snowy winter, telling stories of horrors living hidden in the gloom outside. In the deserts, just as ponies began to scratch cuneiform on stone tablets, farmers sacrificed food to demons they believed lived in the dunes of the desert.  Over time, we've learned to control our fears, to take them down to size. The Manticores of Everfree forest were held back by magic force fields. The horrors in the snowy winter of Equestria were cast aside by the retreat of the glaciers and by the flaming torch of pony progress. The demons living in the sand lost their sacrifices as time went forth.

 

In the twenty first century, we have the Internet, we have half mile high buildings, we have networks of roads spanning continents, and air traffic going around the world. We look to horror stories, thrill rides and late night television gore fests to satisfy our psychological need for fear here in Equestria. It's almost like fear is a toy for us now; we only know true fear a few times in our adult lives.

 

But all those terrifying stories our ancestors told around fires? All the things they saw when they looked out into the blizzards of the ancient past?

They aren't gone. Where the lights don't reach, where the shadows dominate, they still live. They crawl in their eternal crypts, dreaming horrible, dark dreams as the ages pass them by. Outside of the range of cellphones, away from all the commercial flight paths and shipping lanes, where no one can see, they build their kingdoms. Nightmarish masses of flesh and muscle, dark even against the darkness, they wait. Because one day, the lights are going to go out again... And they aren't ever going to come back on. 

 

The time is near, they are awakening
