PONYWORKS Dupe Engineering Group

Ponyworks, officially also referred to as PONYWORKS, PONYWORKS Dupe Engineering Group, or PW for short, is a strictly non-ACF engineering group specializing in rocket engineering, aircraft, Wiremod and various forms of experimental technologies. Ponyworks maintains a consistent scheme of product designation, in the form of an internal system of model codes.
Owned solely by tc2142, Ponyworks maintains both an engineering side to create new products and experiment with uncommon or highly complex technologies, as well as an internal fighting force known as the Ponyworks Organized Military Force, or POMF, to use the armed products created by the group, and provide some degree of defense against any hostile opposing groups.
== History ==
=== Early History (2016) ===
Ponyworks was unofficially founded no later than early 2016(As no exact date was recorded) with the completion of the first creation bearing the Ponyworks name. Ponyworks would go on to see its first period of success as a largely obscure and unknown engineering group by the end of 2016, creating and launching rocket hardware on its native server, including local public participation in such launches.
=== Aircraft Supremacy Warfare (2017) ===
In early 2017, Ponyworks would change production priorities from civil-use rocketry and related hardware, to armed aircraft. During this year, the server that Ponyworks resided in was also occupied by two other undocumented groups, including the Box Empire, exceeding over 40 total players at its peak during this time. Repeated and increasingly severe battles over the production, design style, quality and usage of aircraft between Ponyworks and these groups would mark this year as one of the worst and most openly destructive in the history of Ponyworks.
The final conflict of the year would occur after tc2142 had the realization that the server Ponyworks inhabited could not reasonably rely on any kind of armed defense from the Box Empire in the event of any kind of third-party server invasion, and created the Ponyworks Organized Military Force to serve the role of inhabited server protection. This action was seen as a threat and offense to the leader of the Box Empire, resulting in the resurgence of conflict for the final time of the year, before the two groups forcefully parted ways for a time.
=== Spies and Technology (2018) ===
==== Project New Horizons and The JFHS Battle (Early 2018) ====
After a short pause in conflict during a period of separation over the 2017 Christmas season, the local population of the server Ponyworks inhabited had plummeted, leading to the launch of Project New Horizons, a search for similar servers with stronger population that Ponyworks could create products for, and gain new engineers from. This search ended on Jinxy's Funhouse Server, and tc2142 entered the server to begin scouting out the conditions and the local population there, only to be interrupted by the unexpected arrival of the Box Empire, who had followed tc2142 into the server. a quick battle ensued before the local public, using whatever vehicles and weapons could be spawned in the different addon and limit conditions from the server Ponyworks had previously built in. 
The JFHS battle ended with emergency negotiations being held between tc2142 and the leader of the Box Empire, resulting in the permanent exit of the Box Empire from Jinxy's Funhouse Server, and a reputational impact on Ponyworks with the local administration, that would set the goals of Ponyworks in the server back by over a year.
==== Espionage (Mid 2018) ====
Spying and intelligence gathering by both groups would define this period, with multiple players of each group being convinced by the other to share information on technology, military plans, and even group activity and health, although to little effect, as no armed battle during this time period would occur, and technologically the Box Empire had fallen significantly behind after having been stripped of the majority of its major Wiremod engineers during this period.
==== Vehicular Cold War (Late 2018) ====
During the normal design and assembly process of a new aircraft prototype, tc2142 and Ponyworks engineers were caught off-guard by a lone Box Empire member, who promptly alerted the leader of the Box Empire, resulting in the armed bombardment of the building the incomplete prototype was housed in, and immediate declaration of war on the spot against Ponyworks. what followed was a long struggle, without another battle being fought, to develop an aircraft that could fend off the Box Empire in the perceived possibility of another imminent attack. 
several months of developmental and technical troubles facing the aircraft would lead to the formal agreement to end the war occurring before the aircraft would ever fly, and the project was shelved.
=== Stagnation (Early-mid 2019) ===
After the final conflict with the Box Empire had reached its end, Ponyworks would descend into a long period of stagnation, both by total quantity of members, and production rate of newly completed projects. During this period, Ponyworks shifted its best remaining engineering talent from large scale projects like aircraft, to smaller, more experimental technological experiments and exercises, including prototype prop-dissolving security doorways, robotic armatures and control systems, and even basic functional nuclear weaponry.
=== Resurgence (Late 2019) ===
==== JFHS Activity (September-October) ====
The months of September-October 2019 would see a resurgence in the size and activity of Ponyworks, as a stable base of operations was built and maintained by tc2142 on Jinxy's Funhouse Server, within which a number of local players were offered roles related to Ponyworks, including engineering, combat and defense, or just as an external contact and outside help. By mid-October, Ponyworks had its first public release of a completed product in a long time, and even some advertising was done to show off the new product, gaining official public interaction involving a Ponyworks product for the first time since late 2016.
==== First Contact (Mid-October) ====
Sudden change came for Ponyworks on the 21st of October 2019, when battle on Jinxy's Funhouse Server began over what later appeared to be territorial ownership of the server between the UNC and the AEF. From the very first second, the base that was occupied by Ponyworks that day became the central location of the battle, and the small external security force present at the time was unable to cope with the sudden influx of invading players, including even a few that were sided with Ponyworks mere moments before, forcing the remaining Ponyworks-sided players present deep into the base as the aboveground portion was overrun and abandoned by Ponyworks for the remaining duration of the battle. After the dust had settled on the ransacked base, the existence of the inter-server territorial conflicts and groups was revealed to tc2142 through the JFHS discord server. The idea and concern that tc2142 had created the Ponyworks Organized Military Force in 2017 to cover was proven to have been real the entire time.
With great interest in the possibility of Ponyworks rising to join the collection of groups described in this wiki, and the opportunities for growth and new groups to interact with and export future products to, tc2142 set on a path to find a way to join in on the inter-group politics, starting by questioning and even interrogating one at a time the players that were identified as having been involved in the JFHS territory conflict. through this, the needed information and contacts were gained, and before the end of the month, this entry was initially written.
