DustyCharm Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 So. Heard a bit about these. Read the story (or at least the first part of a story about it). Even made a clan on World of Tanks called "New Lunar Republic Armored Division" (NLRAD)But I started thinking. How right is it and how would a war like that be waged? While I don't doubt Princess Luna would have some spite against her sister for the 1000 year moon vacation (who wouldn't) to what lengths? I like to think it like a sister vs. sister rivalry and sort of game. No actual war or battle but more like prank vs. prank, game, pie and or pillow fights. XDShare your opinion! I'm rather interested in people's views of this New Lunar Republic vs. Solar Empire I've heard bits about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunder Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I've thought about that for a while now. In the show, It matters what happens to determine the magnitude of the war. If something silly hapens, then it'd probably just be a sister rivalry like a prank war. If one of the princesses tries to overthrow the other with serious means like trying to start civil unrest or possible assassination, then it'd probably be a full-scale war.I'm guessing with the names that they'd probably start separate governments on Equestria. That'd probably one of the first signs that something serious happened for them to split like that. If they split peacefully, it'd be hard to keep the peace with a massive division like that. Like the country splits in southeast Europe from the Austro-Hungarian empire after WWI. Possibly like the split of the Ottoman empire after WWI, but those country divisions were made to have civil unrest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted I doubt such a thing will ACTUALLY happy in the show and it's all fan based XD I like to theorize it'd be good fun and sportsman like.

Dunder Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I like to think that too XDBut I also think it's interesting to think about the alternative. But that's because I'm kind of a war buff and I play a lot of civilization simulator games like Rome Total War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EquestrianScholar Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 The way I would look at it is this, it would be an actually civil war... but one not started by the princesses. At least not without them being manipulated to do so. A civil war would bring about great conflict amd pain... potentally tearing apart friendships, family, and even love. All this brings up two very particular villains into mind, on who is the spirit of chaos itself and one that would be able to take on the appearance of the princesses.The Solar Empire and Lunar Republic would come about because of their careful planning, both deciding to take the long route towards their goals and not rushing things. For the Changling Queen, she can feed on ponies devotion and love for their princesses... a love increased by having ponies feel they must defend the honor of their princess. They would be lead to believe indirectly by Discord that all they know is wrong, playing on ponies natural good hearted nature to have them sympathize and relate.For a Solar Empire they would be taught to have pride in what their princess has created, lead to believe that Luna is still evil. The Luna Republic would be taught that Luna was falsely imprisoned because Celestia wanted her power, that Celestia is nothing more then a tyrant that has altered history for her personal gain. This the two villains would do, even have the princess 'appear' before their followers to increase ponies eventual thirst to see one of the princesses fall.... and Celestia and Luna would be unable to stop it. How do you stop that which doesn't seem to have a physical form, a face... do they fight their subjects and force them to stop their actions or focus their attention on finding out who was behind these lies. Or perhaps the princeeses would be eventially be lead to join in this fight, being lead apart and into conflict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fireraven23 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I prefer Luna to Celestia, she's cooler in my opinion. I don't know the difference between the two, I'm too lazy to read the fan fiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weesh Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 This question has always made me scratch my head. It doesn't make sense in the context of the show. What is the context of the fan fic?Revolutions are dangerous and disruptive things. If I liked Luna a bit more than Celestia, that would not be cause to overthrow a government.

Bellosh Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Pffft, Luna Nightmare Moon speaks falsehoods when she claims she loves democracy. Besides, NMM's back is unwhole and gobbled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
