I think we can all agree that bronies are bizarrely prolific in applying ponies to other things, and there's no grand purpose to it. But so too does Liberal Crime Squad itself exist mostly for shits and giggles. It's not intended to teach you something or make a point. It can be described in a way that makes it sound like it has high pretentious justifications, but it's really none of those things; it exists because Toady One used to make some really bizarre and sometimes offensive games, and one day he made this one. If somebody wants to add ponies to it, more power to them.

The only thing I really hate is people taking the game too seriously. And clearly, anyone proposing to replace the President of the United States with "Princess Celestia" and fill the game with friendship ponies is not taking the game too seriously.

How on earth is a game about rape hilarious, or in any way acceptable?

Its because its not /legitimate/ rape.

Edit:

Oh, I guess he meant a comment above mine. Anyhow, Im not saying LCS is Grimdark Violence, Im just saying that the concept of MLP is flexible to fit into a lot of situations out of its normal Huggles and Rainbow Kittens type mood.

MLP, isn' that flexible. The show itself doesnt go into different genres, nor does it tell a wide range of stories... its quite inflexible really. Its so called "flexibility", is because the fanbase think that juxtaposition equals creativity.

And the fans of MLP, read way to much into the series... like relationship between ponies. Those mostly likly didnt exist before the fandom decided that it must be so. I bet most background ponies are placed together depending if their complementary or contrasting colors.

Almost ALL shows have pairings, throw a dart at a TV guide, and if it hits a cartoon, that cartoon will probably have pairings.

If you wish to discuss an LCS mod related to MLP, feel free to do so. Your commentary about the show, its fans, relationship pairings, and whatever else that has nothing to do with the game, can be taken to another forum.

At first I read the title as "Liberal Crime Penguins".

[Sheb]

Just wanted to plop by and say I didn't mean to be offensive, I don't have anything against bronies (Don't have anything for them either though). My comment on the ban being awesome was more in a "WTF. Ponies are banned? Can't I even start an horse-riding thread? :p".

As for the mod, except for changing a few name here and there, which wouldn't add much (or at all) to the game in my opinion, your change seems detrimental to game fun. If I understood it right, you're removing one branch of government (Since the way to influence the executive is to influence the judiciary.) So less complexity in a already simple game.

It may be more interesting if you set the game in MlP word, and make the player play whoever are the bad guys in the show.

[MrWiggles]

The show doesnt have any bad guys. Even the suggested, Discord, isn't actually evil, its just chaos personified. Not the Dark Knight Rises Joker, sorta chaos, more of the whimsical Lolz chaos but it doesnt actually hurt anyone.

[Ultimuh]

Howabout making it pony (liberal) vs penguin (conservative, because you know.. they wear suits.)?

[Jonathan S. Fox]

An LCS mod doesn't need evil, it can just whip up some nonsense excuse for a conflict. The base game certainly doesn't look very far before making normal people out to be anti-heroes and villains. Heck, it could be a pegasus versus unicorn civil war. Normal ponies are moderates.

In game development, the "rule of cool" is generally a stronger argument than any realism or plausibility objections. In this case, cool is determined by what people who want to see the mod want to see, and realism is canon. If a modder wants ponies shooting up the pony police station, they can trod all over canon to justify it and be in good standing.

Or ponies versus penguins. Really, if you're making a mod about My Little Liberal: Crimesquadding Is Magic, it does not have to make sense.

[Jboy2000000]

I still like the idea I said before about Liberal being Friendship and Conseritive being Discord. Granted Wiggles was right in saying hes not really evil, neither are the conservitives. I also had the idea that when the opinion of the leader changes, the leader changes, going like this.

Discord, Luna, Celestia, Shinging Armor, and Candance.

[Zangi]

Why are we... debating on...  "Justifying an LCS Pony Mod"?
If the person wants to do it, let them.  And more importantly, ignore them if you don't like it.  Its like saying its ok to mod Dwarf Fortress but not LCS.  You don't see people trying to make up excuses to convince people not to mod Dwarf Fortress do you?


On a more related note...  are you actually making the mod yourself Jboy or just throwing out ideas?

[Jboy2000000]

I can't mod worth a lick of salt yet, so no Im just suggesting it, maybe once I get better at modding Ill try to do it.

[Splint]

I for one support the Ponies vs Penguins struggle. because in my head that sounds hilarious. And now I have another drawing project to work on. Thank you Bay12, you never cease to amaze me with the absurd drawing ideas you plant in my head.

Best of luck if you do get to modding it. Hope it makes as little sense as humanly possible.

[Jboy2000000]

Ill do my danmdest, but Ponies vs. Panguins... Yeah... No. Panguins don't even exist in the pony-verse.

[Splint]

Well it's gonna happen. I've got alot of free time and the image in my head of a horrible penguin-pony war is too funny to pass up.
