`The After Y2K/MLP Conspiracy`

The Real Reason MLP Production Stopped

Update! --After Y2K
Yay! The aliens, for the most part, have given up on confiscating all My Little Ponies! They're now resorting to Beanie Babies again. It seems even now that they've managed to infiltrate Beanie Baby headquarters. Where will they go from here?

When did it start?
The Aliens have been trying to take over the Earth ever since they first discovered it, about fifty years ago.

Where will it happen?
Globally, though so far, the main efforts have been in the United States and the UK.

Why My Little Ponies?
My Little Ponies have proved to be especially successful with human children, especially girls, who will grow up to have their own children. The Aliens apply their toy control/child control/society control theory here.

What is it?
The Y2K/MLP Conspiracy is the Aliens' plans for abducting all MLPs during the Y2K crisis, applying mind-altering chemicals that will enslave humans to the Aliens, and then releasing the My Little Ponies around the world. And if it succeeds...they plan to take over the Universe!

Who is behind it?

The Alien connection--That's right. The root of this scheme lies with the Aliens. They are not content with taking over just the world. No. It goes deeper than that. Much deeper. Their interest lies not in humans, but in something else altogether...

The Bill connection--The two most influential humans in this world are also in on it. That's right. Bill Clinton. Bill Gates. Think it's a coincidence that both are named Bill? Think it's a coincidence that both are in high places of power? No. The connection runs deep between the Bills and the Aliens...

The Hasbro connection--Hasbro...the good guys or the bad guys? Or perhaps unwitting pawns in this game of political and interstellar warfare and power? Maybe we'll never know...

The MLP Collectors--Scattered across the globe, the MLP collectors have unknowingly slowed down the Aliens' plans for worldwide and interstellar dominance. The Collectors are addicted scavengers, ceaselessly searching, searching for MLPs. Due to them, the Aliens' efforts in confiscating all MLPs is hindered...

The Unwitting Millions--Then there are those who know nothing about this, who care nothing for either MLPs or Aliens...

The Resistance--And last, but not least, we have the Y2K/MLP Conspiracy Alien Resistance Fighters (or Y2KMLPCARF, for short), who actively seek to thwart the plans of the Aliens...

How did it come to be?

The Beginning--It all started several years ago when Bill Gates was in Harvard. The Aliens contacted him and offered a chance at worldwide power. Seeing as how, if he went this route, there would be no more need for long study nights, bad cafeteria food, and other assorted college woes, Bill took them up on the offer. Two days later, he dropped out of Harvard and began on his journey for worldwide dominance, using the Aliens' theory of computer control/society control--that in a society driven by computers, s/he who holds the keys to the computer world holds the keys to society.

Conspiracy Continued--Bill Clinton was the governor of Arkansas when the Aliens approached him. They offered him a similar deal to Gates', a deal of power and influence. Bill, very much liking the idea of the Presidency, took them up on the offer. The Aliens delivered on both offers, to both Bills--Bill Gates released Windows 3.0 about the same time that Bill Clinton was sworn into office as President.

Conspiracy in Session--Both Bills were carefully selected by the Aliens, who influenced the life situations of each of these men. Ever wonder why both were named Bill? In the Alien language, b'il means "successful opportunity".

The Idea--After many unsuccessful tries at starting their mission of world dominance (such as Roswell, Area 51, and the Bermuda Triangle), the Aliens decided to change tactics. It was the early eighties when the popularity of toys associated with cartoons, and vice versa, sky-rocketed, that the Aliens had their brainstorm. If they could control the human children (via toys) then they would eventually control the population. They tried several toys, before finding one especially popular, and seemingly long-lasting toy, the My Little Pony, by Hasbro.

The Plan in Motion--Unable to infiltrate the Hasbro corporation (being short, naked, and green made them stand out for some reason) the Aliens pulled back and waited while the MLP line flew to a soaring success. They planned on swooping in later on and abducting the ponies out of the children's very homes. Things worked for awhile. Many, many My Little Ponies were produced. Until one day, when an executive in the company stumbled across a radio transmission between the Aliens and one of the secretaries that had been won to the Aliens' side. After hearing this, the executive stopped the production of My Little Ponies. Three months later, he mysteriously disappeared. It is important to note that this happened at the same time that Bill Gates and Bill Clinton rose to their current positions of prominence--around the years of 1992 and 1993. Coincidence? I think not.

Delays and Warnings--The mysterious executive stayed underground for a long while, slowly building up a resistance force. Meanwhile, seeing how successful their plan had been with the Bills, the aliens were content to sit on the proverbial back burner. The unknown executive, who by now had become known as Diode X to his band of fighters, began once again to throw a wrench in the Aliens' plans. First, he put in motion anti-trust suits against Micro$oft. Those appeared to work at first, but as the trials dragged on, Diode X decided to change tactics. This time, he pulled strings for Monica Lewinksky to work as an intern at the Whitehouse. Diode was hopeful for a time--but the situation blew over and things were no better than before.

Ponies, Ponies, Where art Thou--During this time, MLP collectors had been rediscovering their old toys of childhood, and had started collecting again. The Aliens had barely been able to pull things through all the scandal with their Bills and began to once again look for new ways to boost their chances of world dominance. They began to notice the renewing popularity of MLPs, along with other toys, such as Beanie Babies. They pulled strings to get My Little Ponies back in production, but were still unable to infiltrate the company. After an uproar in the MLP community about the new, different My Little Ponies, Hasbro began to pull back on, and then all but stopped, production.

Toys and Collectors--While this had been going on, the Aliens had gotten interested in the Beanie Babies. They were able to infiltrate the company, and using advanced science and previous experiments on rural humans and farm cattle, they introduced a chemical to the materials used in Beanie Babies that would actually make people addicted to the toys. Fortunately for us, the Aliens had misjudged the properties of the chemical, which began to wear off, and the Beanie craze started to fade out.

The Final Plan--After a brief, semi-successful trial with Furbys, the Aliens decided to once again change tactics. Diode X had been unsuccessful at completely shutting down MLP production--MLPs were still being produced in the UK. Diode X was concerned about this and encouraged the MLP collectors in their collecting. He was one of the ones involved in putting Sugar (a.k.a. Sxyme69, who was working with the Aliens) out of business. He has done other things, such as running MLP auctions on eBay, watching for possible Alien involvement. The Aliens, however, had gotten their second wind, and began bidding profusely on eBay, as well as other auction sites. It didn't matter to them if the pony was rare or not--they would bid $100 on an extremely common pony. Anything, just so that they got all the ponies.

Here and Now and Beyond--The Aliens have been semi-successful lately. They've won many ponies off of eBay. After the experience with Sugar, (luckily for us) they no longer buy/trade with people by web pages. Thanks to efforts by Diode X, UK MLP production has been slowed. The Aliens have noticed this and begun a new plan. During the Y2K crisis, while everyone is panicking and running around, the Aliens will kidnap all the MLPs from stores, factories, and people's home. They'll apply mind-altering chemicals to the ponies, and then fly around the world, dropping them from their space ship.

The question arises--how can we continue to collect MLPs, while at the same time, hindering the Aliens' efforts, but also encouraging the re-re-release of MLPs?
Mainly:

Trade/sell/buy with other traders/buyers/sellers

Watch out for dishonest sellers/traders. They may even be aliens!!!!!!!!!!!
