** It would also make this the ''second'' time at this point in the series where Zecora decided that keeping to her Rhyme Scheme was more important than coming out and saying what the problem actually is, the first being Poison Joke. For example: "Careful, there are actual literal undead wandering around and they might try to kill you," is a lot more informative than what she ''actually'' says.

** You never know... To be fair, she booted Night Mare Moon, having failed to convince her. According to "Bridle Gossip", Twilight says curses aren't real. But the town was still cursed. She may simply not ''know'' of them. Perhaps one of Zecora's people could have done it instead of Celestia, using methods completely unknown to others?
*** ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'' puts it at the fault of Nightmare Moon.
*** It could also have been Discord. He's a big enough jackass to do something like this.
**** Comes across as too methodical to be Discord.
*** My sense is that the town has been there since time immemorial, and Celestia doesn't know about it.
**** Celestia might not know about the town, but consider this: the town is pretty much damned to an existence of eternal walking death. Most legends regarding spirits and the undead take place at night. This theoretically puts anything relating to death square within Princess Luna's domain. And Luna ''is'' the sort of character that ''would'' exact a punishment that harsh on a town for murdering a young child in cold blood.
***** Which can lead to even further fridge horror: if Luna did that, the knowledge of such atrocity could have spurred her towards becoming Nightmare Moon.
***** Perhaps it was the Pony of Shadows.
***** I personally like the above mentioned theory that it was one of Zecora's ancestors and that Zecora's entire bloodline is supposed to warn ponies of Sunnytown's existence.
*** It doesn't matter if it's at night or not, because the Everfree Forest is so dense it's dark enough to be night in places. If you want to run with the theory that they MAKE everypony look like an Earth pony, perhaps an Alicorn not unlike Twilight or Cadance (who were not born Alicorns) accidentally cursed the town shortly after or before discovering their special talent in magic. That's why they remove wings and horns (in case one of them becomes an Alicorn, as Cadence, according to the chapter books, was a pegasus before becoming an Alicorn), and why they murder those who get cutie marks. By removing wings and horns, they remove the ability to use the abilities that come with them (in theory), but they ''can't'' remove the knowledge of getting a Cutie Mark. Further, perhaps the aforementioned Alicorn, in a power surge, accidentally began a Cutie Pox-like plague?
**** Applebloom got the cutie pox when she mixed a potion at Zecora's using hearts desire which is a flower that grows in and around ponyville. Since we don't know precisely how long ago it was when the paleopony period was but know ponyville is either around 100 years old or less since granny smith was a filly at its founding (and we dont know just how old she is), it is likely some travelling pony stumbled upon the flower and picked some to sell at a market. perhaps it ended up being used for tea leaves and started the cutie pox, when ponies stopped trading because of the pox the flower couldn't be made into tea and the plague disappeared after it was out of the ponies systems?
* Assuming Ruby originally lived in Sunny town, and that she wasn't an orphan, Her parents were either forced to comply to the town's decision to kill Ruby, or were just as insane as they were and cared more about not catching "the curse of the mark" then their daughter.

*** I read a different horror into that. Roneo had lost the ruby he wanted to give, and Apple Bloom finds it for him. In the end, [[spoiler:''Ruby''
* Mitta is crying that something is happening "again and again and again!" [=ThreeLeaf=] suggests that Apple-Bloom isn't the first pony to find Sunny Town... [[spoiler:the Ever-Free forest contains a lot more Nightmares than townsponies, and the residents of Sunny Town had murdered one young pony for getting a Cutie Mark. With all this mind, Ruby wasn't the first nor the last to be killed... and a lot of those Bone Fiends in the forest were young ponies who had just wandered into the town just like Apple-Bloom.]]
* Just how did [[spoiler:the ponies kill Mitta and Ruby?]]
** [[spoiler:One, Mitta wasn't killed, she just got cursed like the rest of the town, two, it's not that difficult to kill someone. Presumably, they caved in her skull with their hooves and threw her corpse in a fire.]]
** [[spoiler: BurnTheWitch might be in play here.]]
* What happened is horrible and all, but still... [[spoiler:just ''what'' exactly cursed them all to suffer this GroundhogDayLoop from Hell for the rest of time? I can only think of one pony powerful enough to do such a thing, and surely Princess Celestia wouldn't be ''that'' cruel... would she? I mean, booting her sister to the moon and all, yeah, but ''this''...]]
** You never know... To be fair, she booted Night Mare Moon, having failed to convince her. According to "Bridle Gossip", Twilight says curses aren't real. But the town was still cursed. She may simply not ''know'' of them. Perhaps one of Zecora's people could have done it instead of Celestia, using methods completely unknown to others?
*** ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'' puts it at the fault of Nightmare Moon.
*** It could also have been Discord. He's a big enough jackass to do something like this.
**** Comes across as too methodical to be Discord.
*** My sense is that the town has been there since time immemorial, and Celestia doesn't know about it.
**** Celestia might not know about the town, but consider this: the town is pretty much damned to an existence of eternal walking death. Most legends regarding spirits and the undead take place at night. This theoretically puts anything relating to death square within Princess Luna's domain. And Luna ''is'' the sort of character that ''would'' exact a punishment that harsh on a town for murdering a young child in cold blood.
***** Which can lead to even further fridge horror: if Luna did that, the knowledge of such atrocity could have spurred her towards becoming Nightmare Moon.
***** Perhaps it was the Pony of Shadows.
***** I personally like the above mentioned theory that it was one of Zecora's ancestors and that Zecora's entire bloodline is supposed to warn ponies of Sunnytown's existence.
*** It doesn't matter if it's at night or not, because the Everfree Forest is so dense it's dark enough to be night in places. If you want to run with the theory that they MAKE everypony look like an Earth pony, perhaps an Alicorn not unlike Twilight or Cadance (who were not born Alicorns) accidentally cursed the town shortly after or before discovering their special talent in magic. That's why they remove wings and horns (in case one of them becomes an Alicorn, as Cadence, according to the chapter books, was a pegasus before becoming an Alicorn), and why they murder those who get cutie marks. By removing wings and horns, they remove the ability to use the abilities that come with them (in theory), but they ''can't'' remove the knowledge of getting a Cutie Mark. Further, perhaps the aforementioned Alicorn, in a power surge, accidentally began a Cutie Pox-like plague?
**** Applebloom got the cutie pox when she mixed a potion at Zecora's using hearts desire which is a flower that grows in and around ponyville. Since we don't know precisely how long ago it was when the paleopony period was but know ponyville is either around 100 years old or less since granny smith was a filly at its founding (and we dont know just how old she is), it is likely some travelling pony stumbled upon the flower and picked some to sell at a market. perhaps it ended up being used for tea leaves and started the cutie pox, when ponies stopped trading because of the pox the flower couldn't be made into tea and the plague disappeared after it was out of the ponies systems?
* Assuming Ruby originally lived in Sunny town, and that she wasn't an orphan, Her parents were either forced to comply to the town's decision to kill Ruby, or were just as insane as they were and cared more about not catching "the curse of the mark" then their daughter.
