My goodness, that took forever! So many questions, so many applicants! We only got as far as the Friendship Guard. But at least we got that much done. So here's the results so far:
The Friendship Guard[]
All members of the Friendship Guard are entitled to be addressed as "Guard," "Guardpony," or "Officer." Your title is Guardpony, e.g., "Guardpony @mlp_Magnet".
You work in the CastleBrary on a regular shift (day or night, your choice) and spend your time either guarding a specific post, on patrol, or in training. If Twilight calls for guards or "@mlp_Guardpony", it's appropriate for you to respond. You should follow @mlp_Brave_Soul , as he is currently the Captain of the Guard.
You are not required to live at the CastleBrary, but you may stay in the barracks if you wish.
Duties Secure the CastleBrary and follow all appropriate directives of the Captain of the Guard. Serve and protect the citizes of Ponyville and Equestria.
Guardponies @mlp_Magnet, @mlp_SkyDen, @mlp_ShadedB, @mlp_RainySky, @mlp_StormD, @mlp_Magenta, @mlp_Flaring, @NightGlider2, @mlp_FireCan
NOTE: There are still open guardpony positions.
The Knights of Friendship[]
All members of the Knights of Friendship are entitled to be addressed as "Sir" or "Lady" (your choice) and to put the initials "K.o.F." after your name, e.g. Sir @mlp_BlackOut, K.o.F. Your title is Knight of Friendship.
Periodically, Twilight will call a meeting of her knights, at which time she'll assign a mission or quest, such as "There's a cockatrice in Whitetail Wood that needs to be removed to Everfree Forest without being harmed." From there, it's up to you to work together to create the story of what happens, and eventually report back to Twi with your success or failure.
When not on quests, your duties are the same as for regular Guardponies. Like them, you report to @mlp_Brave_Soul for day-to-day things. If you wish to establish an order of authority amongst yourselves, you're welcome to do so.
Duties Go on quests and missions for the good of Ponyville and Equestria as directed by the Princess, her advisors, or the Captain of the Guard. Serve and protect the citizens of Ponyville and Equestria.
