And how are we gonna tackle the problem of the onesided demographics? I mean it will be men, men all at the island. Or will we just steal them from our neighbours, like ancient Rome did? :v:

Dang, that's not too bad. So I guess the rest of the funding is to somehow get internet on the island so people can watch pony episodes on Netflix?

Yeah, no. Super late to this thread, but this is kinda hilarious. As if I didn't need more proof that people on the internet have too much free time and startlingly large amounts of money lying around. I say that the island's currency be pony gifs, or maybe just bills with pony shrugs. And okay, there's gonna be a monument. There should be tons of monuments, so that way in the future, when people discover an abandoned island of Equestria, it'll be like Easter Island, but with ponies.

What's with all this talk about a weed farm? Obviously we need to follow our pony role models and make the world's largest apple orchard.

Also, if we were all stranded on that coconut island, I would be the first to resort to cannibalism, on account of having no way to open the shell.

Only if every apple is used to make booze and/or infused with heroin :unenthused:

I don't do weed because I'm super lame IRL and, also, they'd fire me over it. Plus, that's for "creative types".

Holy fuck!

We don't want that island, guys. I forget how long ago it was but there was a YA novel series I read when I was in school, about some kids stranded on an island?

It was THIS ISLAND. They used that exact island as the photo faded-background on the covers. You put all three of them next to each other and you got the whole thing.

A bunch of adults gathering on an islandwith weed, from an internet forum, dedicated to a show about candy coloured ponies.

I won't even take aspirin without carefully reading the warning label, so illegal drugs are pretty much out of the question.

Let's just dry ponies and make them into a NEW strain of weed, sell it, and use the drug money to fund the island. We could even call the strain...PINEIGHPPLE EXPRESS :v:

If these trends continue it'll be 96910 days until completion.
