...or...um
Whoo, boy
someone who has been listening to cray cray
lilrebbitzen speaking of which
...Shanks, you son of a bitch, you stole my gold star joke I made yesterday!
Also congrats Tom you just yelled at Kafei that's your MEH
But still, WOW.
OH AND FUN FACT
That is indeed the real-life equivalent's net worth so he's literally willing to sell everything he owns
for what's basically...artichoke land
...this is exactly why Zetta appointed himself to enforcing-the-rules duty.
Oh, Shanks.
I wow.... I can't even
HE'S NOT DESPERATE ARARARARARARRRRR 
...good thing I dropped Kaj because she
would most likely just try to kill Tom Shanks at this point
she'd wanted to kill him for ages
Her and Moses both.
...Margulis might resort to murder, too.
well he can't bid if he's dead 
friendship might be magic but you know what else is magic
murder
I'd like to point out this is a closed thread so we should wait until that's done before murdering is an option
ok
These people aren't here to do murdering, anyway XD
Seriously though everypony done good
meanwhile my girl's just gonna
have a screaming breakdown
...I believe Littlepip still has bullets in her gun left ovr from Tirek's rampage
You guys got an Ace Attorney style breakdown out of him
nemo is rolling around in his rainbow grave
He's finally revealing why he dun like ya'll
NEMO CAN YOU BELIEVE OVER A QUART BILLION BITS FOR YOUR NOT!WEED FARM
...Or maybe someone shoup app in 
and give him a contract which would inevitably screw him over and screw him over HARD
and give him a contract which would inevitably screw him over and screw him over HARD
IT ISN'T A WEED FARM
but yes
good
WE KNOW but in spirit it is
yes well
Sort of
okay but everyone can hear this even if they can't respond right
Kind of
Yes
should I make a separate thread for the meltdown or what
Let's wait until you see what happens for Nephenee and Shanks in this thread.
And remember, children, this is Equestria. Murder is almost never the answer.
yeah it's not attempted murder, just someone having a shrieking breakdown and screaming bloody murder
not so much for Tom Shanks as just for her/for people to calm her down
Don;'t worry. By the end of this thread, it'll be a heart stopping experience.
you know, last night i was wondering if perhaps star swirl was tom's mentor
We would appreciate it if you could hold tight just a bit for Neph and Shanks to do their thing! It should happen soon!
totally not stalking game he's not in anymore
okay
then let me just
grab some popcorn
you know, last night i was wondering if perhaps star swirl was tom's mentor 
WHERE DID YOU EVER GET THAT IDEA HA HA HA....HA ha ha....ha
i have NO idea
haaaaaaaaaaaaaa
it just came to me. maybe pinkie sense ;P
Its not like Tom's villain-ish song MENTIONED him or anything geez
Kamala is recording this whole breakdown on whatever battery life she has on her phone
it's kind of glorious and she wants to save it for posterity
gosh no murder you guys
Naomi's heading back to the barrier after this
I called it before that! I just have no proof ;;
...I'm just laughing that he threw away his entire net worth for a pile of artichokes
let's just
let him live on it
alone
as an artichoke hobo
while the town upgrades their homes into mansions
cause guess where that money is probably going
even the offworlders
to the people who he's trying to ruin the lives of
who now have mansions
mansions with really tall towers so we can look down and sneer at him
Pinkie is all "I want to move Pink Manor next to Wayne Manor!"
I mean even if we can't use that money to upgrade private homes
can you just imagine all the nice things Ponyville can afford with that money
...With that bid, I think Shanks screwed himself over. With that amount of money, they can just buy some land to make a new commune... and use the rest to upgrade non-Shanks!Ponyville to be way more pleasing...
...than a small fun fair amusement park
and to boot
So that no one will go to it and Shanks would have to file for bankruptcy
we can tear down the commune, and/or relocate it
and then let him live as an artichoke hobo
with a rock painted in the shape of nemo
as company
...why would you tear down the commune when you can just burn it
then don't clean up the ashes
he'll have to deal with that mess himself
we'll build a shining new commune
and make sure the walls are filled with fire retardant foam
so that Doc can move back in
we could also salt the commune so that nothing can grow on it
before moving out
and then have everyone refuse service to Tom Shanks
so he can't buy any food or grow anything to feed himself
is this a long term murder plot or the plot for Castaway?
can it be both
but come on he won't starve
cause Yayoi is willing to rip the ground under him and fill it with impassable water
he can always forage
in the everfree
which is filled with monsters
srsly though, if we get ANY money from this
Yayoi is going to suggest we rebuild the commune into a stronger set of buildings and fill the walls with fire retardant foam
so that it can't burn
The commune has actually already been upgrading to be fire-proofed!
upgraded*
oh good
Discord has plans to cover the land in bees
BEES
we just need to make certain it's also Don proof
cause he keeps breaking the ceiling when he gets near poison joke
Just. Bees.
make his roof top out of rubber
if Cecil was still in this game he'd suggest building an indestructible radio thing that is always on
Melissa should love that, Discord.
so that shanks has to constantly hear Cecil talk about how much he sucks
Discord no
.... oh god I know what could be the final blow.
bees can only sting once
When the Neph thing happens
you should cover the commune in wasps
lluosogrwydd the bees thread was probably one of my favorites to read from all this btw
Pinkie hands him a volleyball
And congratulates him on his new friend
Make his rooftop out of nothing at all. He doesn't get a rooftop. Even then, he'd still find ways to break it
*first friend
"I suggest WILSON" she will stage-whisper
before bugging out
Be there shortly.
Really glad I went through my timeline though, I didn't get a ping for this
I kind of wondered if something like this was going to happen! Seriously, though, he made the bid. Hasn't been rubberstamped but he made the bid and if it stands
Bankrupt Shanks + seriously rich Ponyville town government + ragtag team of locals and newponies who have several million bits to their names thanks to their fundraising efforts
Nice...strategy...?
Enjoy your artichokes, Shanks!
tagged
her next tag is going to be feelsy, fair warning
And this is where Marvey would suggest just flat out stealing his cash
we're not stealing Marv :v
what if shanks is secretly a reincarnated star swirl
He mention a mentor before.
"Ya take out the enemy's cash supply, they can't use it to overwhelm you"
lol
either that or possibly very .long-lived or slightly possessed
nice job breaking it shanks
nice job making Neph cry :|
Shanks you don't make Nephenee cry and get away with it
Someone better hold Saori back before she murders him
I just got home, omg
kansaiphones: Marla would
if she could hold people
Also, I hope you all enjoy the standout character of this thread: the clerk
mylittlelogs | The Battle for Everypony's Home When I said she had a plan..I wasn't kidding.
go neph go!
I didn't see that comment about the clerk. Yes, that poor poor clerk
she did NOT sign up for the bidding war of the year
