Hello, Equestrians! Are you ready? ...The property is known and described as follows: ALL that certain tract of land situate in Ponyville, Equestria, to be bounded and described as follows:... It's no secret that Tom Shanks dislikes the off-worlders. Why? Nopony knows, though his opinion is shared by a small but powerful minority in Canterlot's elite. He's powerful and influential, enough so that he's Applewood's undisputed king, and the current owner of the venerable Hoovesweek. However, he's been delivered a blow. His movie, Quest for Canterlot, wasn't exactly the success he tried to make it out to be. In fact, it flopped, and flopped hard, and you couldn't give away a copy of the reels without being laughed out. But in spite of this unfortunate setback, Tom Shanks won't let who he thinks responsible get away with it. If he can't convince the populace about how the new residents Ponyville's harboring really are dangerous, and shouldn't be living there, through his company's words, he was going to do so through action...and through the power of the law! PLOT INFORMATION For wibbly wobbly timey wimey-ness reasons, the events of this mod plot will canonically happen August 16th-22nd. That's right, the whole week! This one is straightforward: Tom Shanks is at it again, and it's up the the characters to stop him! At the beginning of the week, Tom Shanks will announce what he's been up to on the scrolls. What, exactly? Well, if anyone remembers what Tom Shanks did to Hoovesweek, it will be very easy to figure out that Tom Shanks is using legal loopholes to obtain something. Exactly what will be revealed on Sunday! After that, an open log will be put up, which will be the main thrust against Tom Shanks' machinations. However, everyone will have a chance for their characters to pitch in, sell their wares and help thwart Tom's dastardly plans in their own ways, in their own posts or logs, if they so choose! Put those cutie marks and abilities, to work for the greater good, raise some bits and save something very important to the off-worlders from Tom Shanks' hooves! And who knows - if everypony works together and succeeds, something amazing just might happen! Or, at the very least, somepony can figure out why in the world Tom Shanks dislikes off-worlders so much. Feel free to plot below; we're putting this up early so everyone can plan out what they're doing ahead of time! So, in closing: If you have any questions/comments/concerns, feel free to post about them here!

Yesss what the commune needs is more things that catch on fire

*cough* I mean, yes! They actually should be able to rig something up, industrialize on a small scale.
