  1. I'm going to be a bit scarce this week and most of next week. Work decided to have another crunch time project the same week I'm gearing up for bronycon, so IRL takes priority. Next week I will be overseeing the launch of the project and doing last minute tweaks. Hopefully the madness will end by the end of next week and I can resume some semblance of a normal posting schedule for RP and help train some of the new staff.

    See you guys on the other side.

  2. “A phoenix?”

    Shining Armor raised an eyebrow at Spike’s mention of “phoenix.” As in the rare magical bird that his commander in chief had as a pet? Well then, that certainly made things interesting. Celestia owning one was plenty of trouble as it was. After that last incident in Ponyville, Philomena left quite the paper trail to clean up, especially after making complete buffoons of Celestia’s security detail. On the other hoof, who could blame them? They were bodyguards, not aviary keepers. Bureaucracy could be quite silly at times.

    That Spike and Twilight had even seen a phoenix, let alone adopting one as a pet was news to Shining Armor. It was immediately clear from their story that neither really knew how to care for one. Even that one filly... what was her name? Shutterbug? Shutterfly? Fluttershy? Was given quite the runaround by Philomena; according to the guard reports, anyways. The captain’s curiosity got the better of him.

    “How in Equestria did you manage to find one, let alone tame one?”

  3. I agree with the prior assessment that additional dressing would make it complicated and difficult to understand.

    That said, I don't want ideas like this to go to waste. Perhaps they can be referenced in passing as a sort of "legacy" system that was supplanted by the "modern" system that Equestria uses now (army ranks). Of course you are free to use the system in your FFA RPs and fics as you see fit.

    But the official board canon system is merely the US Army ranks system. This applies to both REA regulars and Stalliongrad battalions.

  4. Just a minor nitpick: we avoid using hard numbers for ages since no one knows exactly how long ponies live in universe. Defining a maturity level such as filly or young mare is sufficient.

    Please be patient while we move you to the Roleplayers group so you can start RPing!

  5. For future reference, please bold your field names (name, occupation, cutie mark, etc.) as it will make them much easier to read for both staff and other players who review your character sheet! Thanks!
