6	->''“Your highness please believe me… they are not just a bunch of rebels… they are organized as a regular army and they have those terrible stuffs… I’ve lost half of my platoon in less than five minutes… every single soldier died in the following hour… cut away like flowers by a giant blade…”''

14	As the Original Post says, Equestria is at war. Princess Celestia has sent out a call for the most bad ass army that can be thought of. While this RP is in it's beginnings, it has a lot of promise and WILL inevitably end.
15
16	The actual RP is [[http://mlpforums.com/topic/81700-the-league-of-extraordinary-ponies-steampunk-roleplay/ here]], so you can read it on your own time.

18	This Roleplay has examples of:
19
20	* ArmorIsUseless: Subverted in that every serious injury thus far could have been easily prevented with a good set of armor.
21	* BadAssCrew: Not only is this a crew of ponies that are almost all bad asses, but it's also on an Airship
22	* {{BFG}}: So far, we've seen muscle bound soldiers with Anti-Air riffles that can blow a hole the size of a garage door in reinforced steel from 2 miles away, and an overly large (the size of a pony) Anti-Tank riffle in the first battle alone
23	* {{BFS}}: Some of Chain Mail's swords, especially his soon to be signature [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Death Blade]]
24	* BioAugmentation: At LEAST 2 characters on the Zepplepony have these, both with different results.
25	* GunsAreWorthless: Subverted, for the [[MookHorrorShow Heroes]] anyway. Most of them still prefer to use Melee though.
26	* ICanStillFight: the Doctor's reaction to having a broken leg, several bullet wounds, having busted through a plane of glass with his face, and passing out after running out of pain killers. He still wants to fight even though the battle is pretty much over and done and he has fixed up mortal wounds.
27	* NicknamingTheEnemy: We don't know if the Black Cloud has a name other than that, but it was originally come up with by Celestia's generals because of how much pollution their machines put in the air, which resulted in a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Black Cloud]].
28	* OneHandedZweihander: Again Chain Mail will invoke this with his more and more elaborate swords. May also be invoked by the Black Cloud later, and even then this would be by mercenaries with PowerArmor.
29	* OneManArmy: Again, most everyone on the ship is one of these. [[note]]Though if you ask Chain Mail than he's actually a war machine on the grounds that even a one-man army is still a man and therefor has things like empathy and pain to get in the way, machines on the other-hoof have none of that and nothing, save death, stops them from killing when they are put into motion.[[/note]]
30	* PowerArmor: Averted, originally going to be used by Chain Mail, but the hydraulics were broken, so he threw the bionic arm away.
31	* RedShirtArmy: So far, the Black Cloud has been this, what with their somewhat defective superior weaponry and all and all ZergRush tactics.
32	* TheSquad: The as of yet unnamed anti-Black Cloud strike force, they double as a BadAssCrew.
