Sure jump in by all means.

You can't use crossover characters in the mane RP.

Okay, I've started a new RP with The Mayor. It's an RP about a job opening where the Mayor is looking for an Executive Assistant to help her with the daily tasks needed to be done in town hall. If possible I'd like this to be a long term RP and relationship with the mayor in other future RPs, but we'll see. For now the thread is open, but once four people have replied and posted I will close it to avoid confusion and congestion. From those four the Mayor will choose an assistant based on their resume and/or experience. Heck I might even turn this into a competition but we will see how it goes out depending on who joins. No foals, fillies or colts please! Stallions or Mares only, thanks! The thread is here: http://www.canterlot...assistant-open/

[[ IMPORTANT: Please read this topic () first and ask all your questions there before you decide on joining this RP. ]] Sitting on her desk in the office, she reviewed the recruitment note that was going to go on flyers and some posters around town. The Mayor made sure that the requirements were clear and direct to the point. Satisfied that everything is in order, she sends the recruitment note to the printers for the final printing which would hopefully done in a few hours. By the end of the day she'd have posters all over Ponyville for everypony to see. Job Opening at Town Hall Title: Executive Assistant to the Mayor Requirements:A pleasing personality, highly organized, punctual and can work with little supervision. Must be highly motivated to work in a very stressful environment and be able to handle critical tasks with utmost efficiency. You must also be able to write daily reports and submit them regularly to the Mayor at the end of the day. Pay: To be discussed when you meet qualifications. Where: Mayor's Office, Town Hall When: Starts at 1:00 PM until 5:00 PM. Bring your two copies of your resume. Writing down the recruitment note was one thing, but choosing the right pony for the job was another. She could tell that for the next few days, it was going to be a chore choosing the perfect assistant. She sighed as she looked at the clock on the wall. It was just about time for lunch so she left for her favorite Cafe near the marketplace. By the time she got back to the office, one of the printers informed her that they had already printed several posters and they were ready to be put up around town. She gave the go signal as a couple of worker ponies began to put up the posters in key areas around town in places like, outside the Town Hall, along the marketplace and some in the park. The day ended without a hitch. All the posters and flyers were in place. The Mayor went home and prepared for the next day. It was going to be interesting to see how Ponies would react to her ads. She just hoped to find the right one and soon. The yearly audit was about to start and she needed an assistant soon. The next day, having done her routine reports and other mayorly tasks, she waited for applicants to pour in. She sipped her coffee as she watched the clock on the wall strike one o'clock.

Would you mind if you drew one of my FoE (Fallout Equestria) OCs? Her bio is here for more info and below is what I came up with using the Pony Generator:

It seems that the crew was eager to cast off so soon. But first things first, a new engineer was needed and the Captain needed to decide where they were going next. Perhaps the Captain was considering searching for that rumored abandoned Dragon hoard near the mountains of Aquelia or chase some rumor of buried Pegasi Treasure near Cloudsdayle. Whatever the Captain decided, Grandya followed to the letter. Out of nowhere the familiar rusty voice of Gravy, the ship's cook, calls her name. Now what did the mut want? The last time she had meat was when she was with her mother about 2 months ago when she helped work at their meat shop in Kuznitza. She helped hunt and brought in game from around Stalliongrad. It was hard to hunt in all the snow especially when everything was white. White Rabbits, White Rats, White everything. "You should have told me you were buying some meat." She sighed. "My mother runs a Meat shop at Kuznitza, and I bet she would give you some of the meat for free since she knows its for our crew." Grandya's mother knew that she was now working with Gang Plank's crew and offered to send free meat. Grandya only declined because at the time, she wasn't sure if she was the only carnivore in the crew. And besides, she had grown accustomed to eating Pony food like Apples, Carrots, Cabbage, Tomatoes, and other fruits and vegetables. The only thing she couldn't stand was hay. She wondered how Ponies could bear such a disgusting thing. "Make sure you roast mine. Medium rare." She said as she threw back a serious look at Gravy.

She was not amused that this Stallion tried to intimidate her. No pony, especially a mercenary would go unchecked like this, especially in her district. It was clear that the meant business and he had no regard for those around him. Knocking over a few carts that worker ponies used to haul food and supplies to the market was the last draw. "Not so fast." Argenta stomped a hoof. "If you are a mercenary, where is your license? All recognized mercenary groups and individuals are issued a license at the Stable. And did you have to go that far to make a point by knocking off those carts? I'm not a simpleton as you may think." If worse came to worse Argenta would have to defend herself. He obviously moved gracefully even with that huge hammer of his but at least Argenta could call for backup but there was no time. She still preferred to handle things delicately and in a more civil way than clashing hooves. "Please come with me comrade. You have some explaining to do in the station."

Well.... gonna need your OC background and an RP sample first.

Argenta knew all the Ponies, Zebras, Griffons and other creatures for that matter, that roamed this part of Kuznitza. Seeing a new Pony wander in her patrol area made her drop her current patrol route and follow him closely. After disappearing into an alley she patiently waited at one of the carriage waiting sheds pretending to take a break from her patrols. The ponies that she met along the way recognized the patrolmare enough to ignore her and just wave to her. Her patrol of the are was about to end but the new pony in town seemed odd. She was exchanging pleasantries with one of the passerby when the odd Pony emerged from the alley. This time he had a huge hammer slung to his side. That wasn't there before. Or at least she didn't see it by his side before. What was a blacksmith doing in this area? There are no forges in Kuznitza. As she looked closely, it was not a blacksmith's hammer. It was clearly a weapon. Bearing weapons in the streets were not allowed. Only licensed mercenaries, bodyguards and VIPs were allowed to carry them openly. Perhaps he was a bodyguard for some important Pony? She had to find out. She made a bee-line towards him and made sure that he could see her VSS Uniform clearly. "Greetings comrade..." she said in a normal serious tone. "I am Stallianguard Corporal Argenta of the 9th Cossack Battalion. I patrol these areas. You must be new in town. Are you perhaps one of the stable mercenaries or a bodyguard to some important pony?" She tried to approach him the right way not asking about his weapon outright. Maybe some casual talk will loosen him a bit. She stood her ground proudly wondering what he would do now knowing that somepony has her eye on him. Argenta knew that from his strut, he was a fighter of some sort. She had to be careful so she couldn't help but feign a defensive stance.

Welcome back Bannhammer with his OC Martel! He's an old member of the crew and only found out now that we just revived it so I'm putting him back on the roster. He'll be re-taking his old position as security pony "Sergent-at-hoof".

I'll gladly let Insight join here and be a spelunker. He's an egghead though. More of a research pony who's interested in searching for long lost magical artifacts.

*Bump* Just reminding the others we have a thread up.

*Flops on everypony*

Penny sat back and watched as the band began to start rehearsing. They were good and enthusiastic but they needed performances. Other ponies needed to hear this music as she was compelled to help them one day when she heard them play once in a bar. There weren't many members like this back then but she knew that this band would definitely make it somewhere someday. Leaving the clutter of paper on the table she was with, she stopped to watch the band as she hovered right over to them. "Pretend that I'm your audience." She said playfully as she sat down on the couch in front of the band. "And make it like a real live show."

After listening to Lore's speech, she shook his hoof in appreciation and like the politician that she is, shook the hoof of every other pony present. She mingled and chatted with the ponyfolk as more onlookers decided to come into the store. She acted like and usher as she greeted the newcomers telling them how small businesses like these were the building blocks of Ponyville. It wasn't long when the Mayor decided to check out some books herself and perhaps purchase a few. Aside from picking up a few books that contained light stories, she decided to purchase one of those Daring Do books that a lot of ponies were talking about and see what the fuss was all about. It wasn't long until she bumped into Ice Storm. "Well hello there Ice." She said while scanning through a few books. "How goes your own business? Doing good perhaps?"

Late to the game. Lol my IRL friends got me Diablo 3 so I can play with them rofl. My battle tag: Xiee#6491 Add me up! I'm on the US Server, currently with a level 45 Demon Hunter on nightmare mode and a level 20 Wizard on normal mode.

Well yeah they're technically the same but just sounds fancier. But like Phil said (who also has a few military ponies in the RP) giving them even more fancier names will confuse a lot of RPers. My VSS (Stallianguard) Pony is confusing some people when they find out Equestria has "armies", what more if we give them fancier names for our ranks? It's a nice idea and definitely sounds better than regular army ranks, but being simple sometimes brings the point across much easier. Eeeyup, that I know much. I was one of the early adopters when Stalliongrad was established and also one of the first to create a VSS (Stallian Guard) Pony.

Didn't Dio already write something up like this when he did the REA and VSS lore stuff a ways back? I think we're following the regular US Army ranks (Private, Corporal, Captain, General) thing. My VSS Pony is a Corporal. And we already have Shining Armor as "Captain" of the Guard. And a few other Military Pony OCs used by other people are already using that ranking structure. Check out his document on Google docs here. If you check the RP notes he states in one section that the REA will use "US Army ranks".

Thread is a go!

[[ OOC: We still have positions available for crew members. If you're interested please visit this thread: http://www.canterlot...project-revamp/ ]] Another swish of the mop on the deck cleared out the last specks of dirt and grime. The crew had been busy loading supplies and spare parts for the ship in the past hour. Grandya had just finished taking note of their stock and was about to report to the Captain until she found the top deck in bad shape. With the rest of the crew busy there was no one to mop the deck. She took it upon herself as she hauled a bucket from down below and started mopping. The ship had just docked at the famous Ostrov air docks a few hours ago for maintenance and to gather fresh supplies. The bustling city was a testament not only to Pony kind but to other races as well. Griffons, Buffaloes, Zebras and even Diamond Dogs called the city home. It was the perfect place for the Freedom Wing to stop and pick up more hopeful crew members who were willing to join. It was just about time for lunch and Grandya couldn't help think what their crazy Diamond Dog chef was cooking up this time. Last time she almost swallowed a small Ruby that was in her Tomato soup. Gravy said it would bring out the flavor but Grandya couldn't just see the logic behind putting gems in food to improve their taste. She'd complain to the Captain but she would just shrug it off and laugh. Done with the mopping she put it aside and made her way to the Captain's cabin. "Everything's in order Capt'n." She said as she entered the cabin. "Our supply hold is almost filled but we're still going to need a new engineer. I've got to go down to the city later and ask around the taverns to see if anypony is willing to join our crew."

Sorry for the delay. Dealing with some pressing RL matters at the moment. Will post something later in the day. If everyone is okay with a "meet the crew" sort of thread, this should be a simple one. Any other suggestions how we should start the RP?

That site loaded like it was back in the dial-up days. I don't go much to it though. Only went there if I wanted to search for images that I couldn't find on DA.

Sure will come up with the thread in a few hours when I'm done with some stuff here at home.

Sigh... wish I was with you guys to experience a real con. Sucks to be in South East Asia...

[[ OCC: It's going to be tough to interact with everyone so at the moment, I'll be concentrating on getting myself and Imagination to Friendship City. Feel free to intercept our little party on the way if you want. ]] The sounds of the wings flapping ever grew closer. It was clear that something was stirring up the Bloodwings, probably the whole brood was converging to the site of the wreckage. Light figured that it might have been the sudden arrival of a few other Ponies. [ I've got my eye on you ] Light must have noticed at least 2 other ponies out in the open but paid no attention to them as she was trying to get her group to one of the damaged buildings in the area. "We can stay here until daybreak." She said as she took a peek out the window. "I'll take first watch, you two get some rest." Whoever those other ponies were in the open had to find shelter soon. The sound of rapid fire from what sounded like a machine gun rang though the air. One of the other ponies must have engaged the Bloodwings. Bad move, she thought. It's only going to attract more of the flying abominations since they were probably near a nest. "Light... my name is Light Gentebeak. I'm with Blackwing's Talons." She introduced herself to the one-winged Pegasus and his companion as she settled down on her haunches looking out the window.
