So…was there any reason they couldn’t just rainbow power the two things and then flip Discord the bird…right before putting him back in stone for this crap?
So, in other words, not only does he have the power cause massive destruction, HE HAS ACTUALLY KILLED BEFORE. Clearly, even a “reformed” Discord is too much of a danger to be free to do as he pleases.
He needs to learn that there are consequences, even if he succeeds.
Hmmmm… so far he at most removed ponies’ memories (in my stories), and didn’t rewrite them, or their personalities, after being reformed.
So a sufficient diplomacy and a Guilt Trip might sometimes work. ‘Cause he won’t rewrite your Free Will to want-to-avoid-Guilt-Tripping-him… (…then again similar things can be achieved with mere Memory Removal.)
Or being creative enough to figure out HOW to make things REALLY boring to him.
The only obstacle would be his intelligence and common sense (!!!) then, because he might mis-judge how durable ponies are, and delay the removal of Orange + Blue + Windigos so much that they actually HURT the Equestrians, or even KILL some of them.
Oops, my brain is slow. I misread what you wrote. Nevermind.
…
…oh wait. He displayed in one of my past stories powers of Resurrection.
So playing Chicken with him will result in your death, and revival, and another Play Of The Game.
…

I will have to define his weaknesses better. He is TOO powerful in my stories.
I can’t really argue her logic, but at the same time, giving him what he wants like this is going to send all the wrong messages. He needs to learn that there are consequences, even if he succeeds.
Seconded. Discord has no regard for the lives of others. Far to dangerous to be allowed free.
OHHH, just noticed the tag in this past story.
I tagged it “Alternate Universe”.

Boy will it be a challenge to make him not OP (in a bad way), while still keeping it consistent with the past events.
He is almost a Diabolous Ex Machina now.
Only his Humor-but-not-Destruction-based motives make him avoid that title.

Discord HATES boredom.

Yup. Agreed.

Oops.
Was supposed to be “not Evil” not “not 100% Evil”.
edit: at least in Discord’s opinion
