Well, I guess that answers my question, then. I figured it was probably destroyed.

Version one was built within a year. Version two was never built at all. How long will it take to put up version three, or at least the parts we really need?

TSWT Featured By Owner Sep 5, 2015

that is a very good question

What is a tronemone ? Some kind of weird metronome ?

Incredible art, by the way, I'm sure gonna wait any time necessary for the end of this story !

to be honest i forget how i constructed the original word. it's a windmill that winds up the counterweight of the clock. i should probably change the word to "anemomylos"

kahas Featured By Owner Aug 27, 2015

Pretty cool name, this one.

TSWT Featured By Owner Aug 28, 2015

it's nice to know that my faux greek lends a bit of tone to the page

So this is a special watchtower for Luna, right?

TSWT Featured By Owner Aug 23, 2015

close! it is a special watchtower designed by luna, for equestria.

PonyvilleFC11 Featured By Owner Aug 23, 2015

Wow! Didn't see that coming. How close was I (to the answer), by the way?

TSWT Featured By Owner Aug 25, 2015

well, you were exactly that close! pretty close i'd say.

PonyvilleFC11 Featured By Owner Aug 26, 2015

Rats... Oh well.

TSWT Featured By Owner Aug 28, 2015

nahh it's nbd that you didn't quite guess! 'commission' isn't really used that way online! in this document its definition is a noun, and means "a group of people given a task to complete and granted the authority to complete it"

so in this case instead of being luna's commission, as in she's paying someone to make her something, it's the "Lunar Commission," the official name of a group of ponies she got together to work with her on something.

PonyvilleFC11 Featured By Owner Aug 28, 2015

Oh. Didn't really see that there. My bad.

RD20Percent Featured By Owner Aug 22, 2015

Is there any more?

TSWT Featured By Owner Aug 22, 2015

Love me some giant telescopes.

The-LoneKnight Featured By Owner Oct 6, 2012

Look like an observatory of some kind, a light collector on top and large gearwork on the bottom...

...10 bits says it focuses the sunlight into a solar furnace in the basement... Celestia likes her hot dogs cooked like that lol

TSWT Featured By Owner Oct 6, 2012

hahah I think the ponies are vegetarians if not actually vegans (they seem to use cream based products so I guess they're just vegetarians by nature and not through some kind of moral choice) but maybe celestia eats tofu dogs.

maybe people don't have tofu dogs around canterlot and they're an invention of a far off land. and they aren't very good because let's face it hot-dogs are the lowest form of food anyway and making it into tofu would just make it worse, but she keeps on ordering a package every year because it mystifies everyone else

So, what does it do exactly?

TSWT Featured By Owner Oct 6, 2012

Sire-Sword Featured By Owner Oct 6, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Um, what?

TSWT Featured By Owner Oct 6, 2012

Sire-Sword Featured By Owner Oct 7, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

I'm still confused.

TSWT Featured By Owner Oct 7, 2012

I am sorry, I am basically just trying to let you know in the weirdest way possible that I'm not going to tell you what the tower does. It is part of the story!

Sire-Sword Featured By Owner Oct 7, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Well you could have just said that.

TSWT Featured By Owner Oct 7, 2012

I thought you would guess!

it's pictures of stuff

Lionheartcartoon Featured By Owner Oct 6, 2012

I LOVE those things. Plans, designs and technical drawings

I would assume it is a tower for use by Luna.. I would only put a 'Scale Pony' in there as a reference, to give an idea of the size of the thing

Instafave

TSWT Featured By Owner Oct 6, 2012

it is a tower yes and it certainly has SOMETHING to do with luna

Lionheartcartoon Featured By Owner Oct 7, 2012

My apologies.. I had overlooked 'Page 1' of the design. Thank you for doing such a wonderful comic

TSWT Featured By Owner Oct 7, 2012

oh hahah no I mean, page one doesn't give any more away than page two does. all we know is that it was built by a group called 'the lunar commission', the commission here understood to mean 'a group of people officially charged with a particular function'
