Re: The Island of Equestria Project - Thoughts?
please do not ever let this thread die
If this shit ever gets off the ground, here's my own quick mockup of a flag design:
The design is a fimbriated tricolor with a ratio of 2:3. The band colors take after three of Celestia's hair shadow colors (blue, pink and green), while the separating stripes take the remaining color (indigo)'s corresponding stroke color for higher contrast (see Kefka's guide for exact specifications). The stripes are 5% of the total height wide each; all the bands are equidistant. Charged in the center is a dark green cannabis leaf, no exact color because it's literally a slightly darkened weed icon stolen off the Internet, its sprouting point the center of the lower separating stripe.
If that's too serious for you here's a redesign

Screw islands, islands are lame. I have decided that what I really want to see is a pony seastead built by bronies4ronpaul.

What we need here is a more or less full size reconstruction of Canterlot castle so that the princess, flying by, will think "Oh there's my castle!" And land.
And it needs to be a realistic reconstruction of Canterlot. The herd of ponies you'll have living in it must be dressed to the nines.
What I'm saying is that the kick starter should have be at least a hundred million.

Guys if we want to protect the independence of Ponygoonia, we're going to need an army too.

Well yeah, it's made from a plant called the Opium Poppy. You can make all kinds of drugs from it, as well as tasty poppy seed rolls.Hyper!!! wrote:What about heroin? Does that grow in a field?

How's that work out with coconut? Do they mix well, is what I'm asking. Do they bake real good together and stuff. In a food-eating kind of way.Tailspin wrote:poppy seed rolls.

My great-granduncle toiled 16 hours a day in the heroin mines.
e: By week's end his lungs were full of the stuff. Never heard a word of complaint from him, though.

Dang. That's less than you'd pay for a cheap old house in the sticks these days. I guess it makes more sense when you factor in typical property values in South America and the fact that you'd probably have to become a citizen of Brazil to move there. I guess your typical obscenely-rich-guy private island is somewhere that's technically US soil like the Virgin Islands, and the relative scarcity is why they're usually so expensive.Gravenstein wrote:http://www.privateislandsonline.com/Ilha-Caetano.htm $79,500, and it comes with 172 coconut trees

You and your modern satellite uplinks. We'll use packet radio and we'll like it! Sure it'll take two weeks to load something on youtube, but just think how happy you'll be to watch whatever it is once it's done. And in the meantime, weed.Tailspin wrote: Satellite uplink.

Also, if we're going with weed production I say we also have opium farms. It's a part of my retirement plan. When I hit 90 I was going to smoke opium till I'd die.

I've been doing more drug research.
Weed gives people headaches and smells like raccoon shit, but no one seems to be opposed to Opium. The only major side effect seems to be constipation, which we can use to our advantage to save on plumbing.
Wikipedia is also very skilled in the opium trade, providing us with all sort of good information.
