[Herd] Knights of the Dawn

[DawnsEmbrace]

I dont quite know if this it is my place to say something right now, (if it is not my place, sorry) but sorry blade, you have never really talked to dawn that much. And... He is the creator/Leader of this Herd, so what he says is pretty much LAW here. Not much you can do bout' that, sorry.

It's perfectly within your place to question or defend decisions, Dashie.  Everyone in the Herd has a voice here. 

[Blue Shield]

You know, I DID get a pretty good idea... Since I'm helping Dawn with some idears on how to organize the herd and stuffs, maybe there could be a second design used in the Sergeant tier for the First Sergeant Rank Insignia, and the First Sergeant would aid the Lieutenant or Dawn Captain (Depending on who they were assigned) with tasks like book keeping and all that fancy stuff.

Just a thought...

[DawnsEmbrace]

So they'd be more of an assistant, rather than a soldier?

[Blue Shield]

Yeah, exactly. The First Sergeant in the Air Force was a Master Sergeant or higher, and they were picked to assist the commander with things like meetings, paperwork, helping the soldiers (or getting them in trouble if they did something wrong)
Post Merge
So... What'd you think of my nomination? (Sorry to those I've asked over 9000 times... I haven't gotten an answer at all... )

[Dashieisbestpony]

I think it is awesome that you got Nominated Blue I really hope I can get on so we can All meet up

Now, for some notes.
Stan, you had a massive list of suggestions, but most couldn't be used as a theme for the Herd.  So I picked the one I felt fitted most.
That doesn't mean that I won't find ways to use them though, oh no.  These are excellent pieces and I love most of them.


Message of the Week:
Is as follows.


VOTE

[Dashieisbestpony]

I voted for "The dovoted" from fire emblem. It just sounds so fitting


Quick edit: What time will the meet up be? I know atleast Some of us will be on, and I want to meet up with Howit

[DawnsEmbrace]

I don't know a specific time, but you should probably be able to find some of us in the Cloudopolis Dojo!   

[Dashieisbestpony]

Where is the dojo? I know where the cloudsiom is, so I think the meet up could be there.

K, gonna resubmit my app. Not gonna change anything, just pegasus to earth pony. XD

OC name: Blue Shield
Race:  Earth Pony
Talent: Protecting others, no matter what the cost

Blue Shield is a white Earth Pony stallion with golden, curtain style mane. His eyes are a pale blue, and he is rather kind and gentle. But he will do anything he must to protect his friends and loved ones, regardless the cost.

[Ramisha]

yess Earth pony master race!
Ok, anyway:
1. If the poll is drawed, will we have to vote again?
2. Can we have some "special" ranks, like Spy and Herd Blacksmith and stuff?

[Dashieisbestpony]

I think the pegasi count as scouts/spys because they can fly/they can fly like owls! Without sound

[DawnsEmbrace]

1.  If the poll is a draw, then we'll either do it again with a more narrowed down list, or I'll just pick between the tie-ers.


2.  Yes, members could have jobs like that.

Take Checkmate for example.  The talent that he specified was tactics, so assuming he obtained a position of power, he'd be the Tactics Officer of the Unicorn Column.

Any Pegasi could be chosen for spy, or scout, or even mapper.  Not to mention Pegasi would take the lead if we ever marched into the Evershade, seeing as they'd be able to guide a group better than a Unicorn or Earth could.

[Dashieisbestpony]

Yeah, I would happily be a scout! I would fly as high as I could and get a better view of things! Oh, grey will be back on later today, she got grounded  and I could also be a mapper at some point!

Quick edit: I may or may not be on the OSW, if I am not on it is either because I cannot download it, or because my mom and dad said no. I will tell which it is if I am not on the first day of the OSW. Hope to see you all there!

Blue, that's a pretty bold move there buddy Changing races and your position into an Earth Pony

Hmm... Well... Moony is part guardian, part mercenary. He lives around the mountains. So yeah, a scout is preferable

[Dashieisbestpony]

I have dibs on Spy/Scout! Plus I can fight!

Actually, regarding his transfer.
Blue has since changed his mind, so I won't be transferring him.

[Dashieisbestpony]

Okay, we can figure it out. I think the earth ponies should be at the front lines, with the pegasi flying above them firing double cyclones, and the Unicorns spread off to the sides firing spells off and healing the earth ponies. since very few/any monsters fly/fire things into the air, I think most of the pegasi should be pretty safe. Anyone like my idea?

[Howitzer]

I think that just as long as we have earth ponies to tank damage, pegasi to rain down cyclones, and unicorns to use as support and medic, we'll all be perfectly fine.
But one thing I thought of is that the only time we'll ever have to be THIS organized is when (and if) the mods release the dragon hurricane like last time. the biggest clumps of enemies in the Evershade is about 4-5, so only 4 ponies minimum would be enough for an attack.

[DawnsEmbrace]

Well...A small army or squad would be necessary for dragon-hunting, right?
From what I remember, those guys take quite a few pones to kill.
