       Time and Technology

       A common question is what kind of technology and time does the
       forum use. Well we are in a bit of a mix. I'll try to clarify to
       the best of my ability.
       The most common question would be military technology. We are
       going to say it ranges from 1990s to early 2000s for basic forms
       of military, but as you go up, he more close to modern times it
       gets. So SEALs and Equinox have access to modern day military
       weapons.
       Vehicle wise - All forms of cars exist, but they are still
       uncommon. You will see places like Manehatten use them often but
       it's a big learning curve to learn how to drive one and ponies
       think it's more efficient to trot and gallop.
       Air travel is restricted however Equestrians have invented most
       of the modern day planes and helicopters that you and I see
       today
       Naval travel is limited to only within and around the continent.
       Battleships, carriers, frigates, fishing boats, all are a thing.
       Do not go overboard with these. let's keep things a bit real and
       realize that deploying 100 aircraft carriers, nuclear
       submarines, and AC-130's will cost a TON of bits. They are not
       disposable.
       Now onto everyday stuff:
       Cellphones and computers are only slightly common in Manehatten,
       as it is less advanced elsewhere. Refrigerators, Air
       conditioning, and Medical technology are all set in modern
       times. Computers and TV's are more advanced in urban areas but
       are a little behind elsewhere.
       So when new characters are introduced in the show, they are also
       introduced here. Though the setting is obviously a tad
       different. Because of technology,unicorns have been less
       dedicated to studying intense magic so the amount of strong
       magic users has decreased (doesn't mean you can't make an OC
       that is strong though!)
       We started this forum out with a different time and progressed.
       So in a few threads you will see the military using swords,
       crossbows, and henry rifles, well times have changed since then.
       Remember to, powerful magic can easily cause trouble for modern
       day technology. That's why alicorns are superior still.
       Look I know this is all very confusing but the admins shouldn't
       have a problem unless someone complains to us or if we see
       something that is a pretty big deal. So have fun!
