explosives.[/quote]
God, that was a great story. We could use that guy again. Only
not even he can stop the destruction this time.
[quote]So the question is, what would be signs our embeded
characters could observe to show that this static-poop explosion
is coming, and what factor would make the difference between
localized igniting and an explosion massive enough to destroy a
city?[/quote]
Unless everyone thinks it's an idiotic idea, I'm still down for
abusers planting dirty bombs all over the city. As for signs,
that's a good question. I have no idea.
For what finally triggers the mass explosion, I'm thinking some
sort of induced earthquake. What could be strong enough to shake
a city to the point that all the bloated fluffies simultaneously
burst?
Maybe the fluffies somehow cause a natural gas pipeline to leak
in the sewers. Some smarty friend leading his herd through the
sewers encounters another herd, and he starts spewing sparks.
One spark is hot enough to ignite the gas, and the explosions
spreads throughout the sewer and shakes the ground so much that
all the bloated fluffies asplode.

Remember Independence Day? What we need is the Jeff Goldblum
character. Except instead of deciphering alien countdowns, he's
calculating gas levels.

That or we just have anyone we want to escape put two and two
together to realize that there are so many fluffies something
bad is bound to happen.
I wouldn't call abusers planting dirty bombs all over the city
idiotic, I just think that's a leap from what we've seen abusers
do. Most abusers seem to be the hunt, trap, and enjoy the kill
type.

We could bring back the guy from Mayclore's story, and have him
running calculations based on average pony gas buildup, rough
estimate of the fluffies in the area, and the amount of garbage
available for them to eat. Then he crunches those numbers and...

I imagine most people would come to the conclusion that a
citywide invasion of fluffies can't possibly end well.

I could imagine the military trying to "clean up" Cleveland
using a neutron bomb, thinking it would take care of the fluffy
ponies while doing a minimum of damage to the infrastructure and
helping to contain the damage.
Instead, the detonation ignites the fluffy gas, causing an
explosion of monumental proportions that utterly levels
Cleveland (and possibly the entire state.) Radioactive leakage
is scattered widely by the explosion, rendering the area
uninhabitable for human life for centuries to come.
(Possible joke ending: some fluffy ponies survive the explosion,
and the radiation causes them to mutate over several generations
into larger, smarter, less-fluffy talking ponies, who found
their own civilization, free from human contact due to Ohio
being declared a radioactive death zone. "And that's how
Equestria was made.")

I've heard this twice now and still have no idea what a neutron
bomb is.

It's pretty much a modified nuclear weapon, designed to have a
smaller explosion but a much larger dose of radiation. The idea
being that it "kills people, but leaves buildings standing".
HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_bomb
It could even be specifically designed to flood the area with
fairly low-level radiation, the thought being that the amount of
radiation needed to kill a fluffy pony might be much less than
what would kill a human... perhaps thinking that they can wipe
out the fluffy menace with a minimum of civilian casualties by
only "mildly" irradiating the city.
(Of course, with the addition of highly combustible fluffy
farts, they couldn't be more wrong.)

As I said, i've heard this one a few times, so I like the idea.
Not that we can't still plant dirty bombs or have Spaghetti land
be one big explosive trap.
I have been forming the idea of there being an assistant to our
Board of Tourism member who notices that the opening day
festivities for Spaghetti Land has a large budget for fireworks,
but the fireworks seem to come from munitions manufacturers and
not pyrotechnics. He checks this with his boss, who asks him if
his rag smells like chloroform. Assistant wakes up tied to a
chair under Spaghetti Land, surrounded by bombs, with our big
bad board member showing his true colors. Might post it up on
the bits thread as a potential Phase 1c.

Actually ,a virus might not be necessary. How about a parasite
that makes fluffies sick and doesn't really bother fuzzies? If
the only thing they can eat is fluffies, they die out when
fluffies are gone.

I thought the goal was that the fuzzies are ultimately
destroyed, and the fluffies in Cleveland are wiped out, but
fluffies around the world survive. I even had a story idea for
how the fuzzies get killed.

Putting in another vote for a Missile Barrage that hits
gas-mains and/or 'clips' the Reactor.
Do we want to quite literally blow Cleveland up (being an
Aussie, I have no idea what significance the place may have to
the Americans) or did we just want to turn it into a
Fallout-esque town?
Most people, if you take away their gas, their power, their TV
and their Phones, would slowly go insane from being 'denied'
their instant contact fixes. Throw in a story where Cleveland
becomes quarantined (Due to the 'Fluffy Virus' or just plain
Political Shenanigans) and the people being trapped inside a
city with no power or running water and massive amounts of
Fluffy Ponies running amok, could be the scene for quite a
tragedy/dark comedy.
