Warship 7.0

[discorderly]

As long as we're asking questions to the network at LARGE! Is it still considered immoral to rip someone - say, a pony - from the timestream and consume his entire existence so that he never truly came to be at all? At which point one would obviously sew the resultant gaps in reality back together, just to keep things from collapsing entirely...

I'm asking for a friend.

...Y-Yes, Discord, I think that would be considered immoral...

[She had a feeling of why he was asking, but...still.]

[discorderly]

Alright, alright. ADDENDUM!

What if no one likes them?

[strengthinkindness]

...It's still not right.

Not to mention the ramifications to the timestream that could happen because one pony was missing. I mean, it could be harmless or it could mean the destruction of Ponyville and everything in a 100 yard radius because of that.

Sorry for hopping in, Fluttershy.

[discorderly]

I am not UTTERLY incompetent, Twilight Sparkle! I will destroy precisely what I mean to!

[chatwithdeath]

Unfortunately, most would consider that immoral.

[Though, she probably gets why he's asking.]

[discorderly]

Just MOST?

[verygassy]

Really bad idea even if it wasn't immoral.

[discorderly]

Why?

[pirateponyprincess]

At that point, it would be easier to simply kill them.

[Look, someone's gotta propose the pragmatic approach.]

[discorderly]

Don't you find that a little unsatisfying?

If somebody did do that, wouldn't it remove the ability to punch him in the face? I mean, you can't punch somebody that doesn't exist.

[Her expression might be cheerful but it's not reaching her eyes.]

By the way, you wouldn't happen to be any good at forgery, would you?

[Visual | Private]

[discorderly]

You can't WANT to punch someone if they never existed to begin with!

And that really depends on why you're asking.

[4thdimensional]

Yes it is---there are other ways to deal with this.

[Not that Discord cares at all about Doc's opinion, of all people, but there's a hard edge to his voice. He's grappled with this question too.]

[discorderly]

Do you always have to remind me that you exist?

[letsplayer]

...go for it.

[discorderly]

THANK YOU! [Discord throws his arms up in frustration.] Honestly, one minute we're exploding news carts in the streets, and the next it's all 'oh nooooooooo, Discord, don't get RID of the problem! That'd be too easy!'

[bluesuit_hoofy]

This question is exactly why the Time Lords never shared their technology with other cultures.

[And xenophobia. Don't forget the xenophobia.]

[discorderly]

That's funny, because a little birdie was just telling me something about xenophobia.

[Discord stop reading other people's smalltext]

[needsteaplz]

[Give her a second or two just give him this look right now before answering.]

Of course it's immoral, you idiot!

Messing around with a soul and its place in the timestream will cause an irreversible rip no matter how much you claim you can patch it up!

[discorderly]

I'm actually starting to take a little offense at how many of you seem to think I'm that bad at manipulating reality.

It's sort of my thing.

[neighfeni]

...Sorry, Sir Discord, but Ah think that might be a wee bit immoral...

[Her smile becomes a bit wistful, though.]

...'Ppreciate the thought, though.

[So what if it's easy to figure he was asking for him, she appreciates the idea behind it...well, the very base idea of "let's stop this guy", anyway.]

[discorderly]

Well, well. You can certainly TRY it your way first.

(Hi, Discord! You talked with Yang a few threads up, so now you get to talk with her sister...no, Zwei's nowhere near the scroll; you can't hear the Corgi lightly barking in the background.)

Um, I'm pretty sure that's not a good thing no matter what world you're in...even if it is for a friend...!

[discorderly]

I thought you people were all ABOUT friendship?
