Pacification is the warmup round. It begins when the team leaves the gate, and ends when the opposing team is brought back into the arena. The opposing team can be dropped from great heights as part of pacification, but if any bones break, the game ends immediately. Since no points can be awarded during the warmup round, this means the home team ends the game with no points, a horrible loss for any team that has hopes of winning the tournament.
For years, unicorn teams typically chose a pegasus pony as the opposing team (magic binding kept them from flying away) , pegasus teams chose earth ponies (flying them high is an amazing pacifier when they can't keep themselves from hitting the ground hard), and earth teams chose unicorns (earth ponies can fight back better, pegasus can fly away, but unicorns have low physical strength and their spells shatter with a well-placed strike), but after the first time a Unicorn team chose Fluttershy, she became the preferred target for all three teams because of her inability to fly while frightened (attracting the pegasus team), and low physical strength and, again, can't fly while scared (attracting the earth pony team). |
