CURRENT PROMPTS

>Clothing
What does the average Joe wear daily? Any formal dress impacted by tradition/culture? Fashion being split by class or regional differences? Climate or other fantastical wackery making certain attire a necessity? Paint us a clearer picture of who you'll see walking through the streets!
>Food
What crops do your people grow for consumption? What about the food you import, and from where? Do you have unique delicacies? What are the common snacks or meals for the working class, or the rich and powerful? Any food reserved for ritual purposes? How about etiquette when eating? Any special practices during mealtime?
>Entertainment
What kinds of entertainment is popular for your people? How important are they seen as part of life? Do different class people have sufficiently different tastes? How much do the chuuba gods play a role in these entertainments?
>Religion
What religious rituals does your nation have to worship its deities? What's the religious structure look like? What's the official stance on other faiths?
>Alcohol and Drink
what do your people drink and what's is it made from? what sort of culture is there around drinking in your split?
>Development
What's your nation's current goals now. What are you trying to aim for your development? Would said development make your people happy?

>30% less gluten.
In other words shut the fuck up /nasa/.

>>21998562
Maybe they're developing gluten-free bread?
I tried chickpea pasta the other day, shit is delicious.

>>21998934
That will please Ame then.

>>21998934
We have recipes for gluten-free bread. Rice bread, keto nut breads like almond bread, cornbread made with 100% cornmeal, etc.

The general societal and technological level of the world is roughly equal to mid to late 18th century, right? I recently got this in my recommends on yt and it got me thinking a bit. It feels like we've had a fair amount of discussion regarding crops, but how are things on the animal husbandry front?
How much of the food production in your nation is made up of animal produce such as milk, eggs and meat? Is there any animal that is particularly popular/normal to find at a farm/ranch in your nation? Is there a particular divide between the different societal classes in what they have available?

>>21999331
Speaking of salt. How are rock salt deposits in your country. /nasa/ can desalinate water to extract sea salt. The oceans here are clean and free of microplastics. That said the tundra might have good rock salt deposits.

I wonder if mammoth would be a good food to eat if this world has megafauna. Though to be honest I rather tame the mammoths as friends and beasts of burden.

>>21999331
An important ranching animal on /morig/ is the local species of Giant Sloth. It features the same densification and calcification adaptations as deadbeats, so it doesn't make for good eating at all, but it's an incredible draft animal, strong as they are. They're smart enough to be ridden with good saddles, but they're really large and not extremely fast, so they've only been used as mounts in a military context and in deadbeat vs deadbeat wars in a role similar to elephants, not much for transport. Their milk is also very thick and rich, comes out more like whipping cream than normal dairy, mainly because the sloths don't have a lot of body water.

OGsuner

I wonder if I should do magic shit with flowers. Definitely not gonna go full botania Minecraft mod since that might be a bit much but probably alchemy ingredients and maybe a few cool little effects here and there.

>>21999331
I'm giving the final say to our representative, but I image some equivalents to goats, sheep, and cows would be fitting for /who/. Animal farms would most likely be much more prevelant inland compared to the coastline. I can imagine there being a species of canines that, similar to the existence of wolf dogs, would appear as a mixture of a fox and a dog and that this animal would be popular as both a companion, used in scouting/foraging either in tandem with or as an alternative to owls, and as herding animals on farms. They do however have a reputation as being fairly intelligent and mischievous if not disciplined properly during their upbringing.

Ah yes when I get home I'll have to update the animal section as well. We have those elephant birds which is what we use in place of horses. Ducks would be prevalent as well as chickens if I'm not mistaken. Also bees, lots of bees which rosuners would be able to use the beeswax as well as honey.

>>22002006
>goats, sheep, and cows
That's about right, I think I put them in the agriculture part of the lore
>Fox-dogs
Hah, that's clever, i like it.

>>22002006
If you can raise goats, sheep, and cows then you should be able to raise pigs as well in warmer parts of the country.

>>22004698
pigs imported from Haachama World sounds neat

>>22004895
Any particular reason why Haachama would have pigs? Salted pork in general is the meat of the 18th century.

>>22005118
Haatons are represented by her as pigs, there's other porcine elements i'm not remembering. Mainly that.

So I have a question that was a topic from last thread. Do we have sailboat races for sport? They don't have to be huge ships. Just small one man ships around the bay will do.

>>22005457
Sure, I don't see why not.

>>22005535
The races would be as much of a competition in engineering as skill. Kind of like how jousting is. Half of jousting is building the armor, breeding the horses, and carving the lances.

>>21989067
Hooman who posted that proposal here. Sounds pretty good for me. Having the experience to build a shipyard that can construct metal hulled ships is already extremely valuable. For some old trade ships nearing their service life and a lease for a small shipyard /who/ can have knowhows and designs that would take decades to develop. Even though we can't obtain blue prints there's no much from stopping information corps agents infiltrating the construction site and making notes. [spoiler/] /Who/ would have experienced workers that can help the Republic to build more advanced ships later on plus improving relationship with the spaceman.

>>22005847
nice spoilers

>>22005847
Blueprints are hidden behind biometrics. Meaning you need a fingerprint scan, face recognition, and a password to access the documents. Even then you're limited to what documents you're authorized to look up.

>>22006138
The human element is the weakness of every security system.

>>22006288
All you need to do is keep the hand and head alive enough for facial recognition. Cracking the password is as simple as social engineering beforehand. Men love to see booba.

>>22006067
Phone posting pls understand

>>22006138
No the agents won't be aiming for the blueprints themselves. Even if /nasa/ bans foreign personnel from operating the more advanced equipments, constructing the ships takes time and manpower. There isn't much anyone can do to deter workers from making diaries about how the ships are built and complaining about their sanalite managers. /nasa/ can encrypt the blueprints anyway they want but that knowledge is gonna leak out passively overtime to those workers. There's also relatively little to stop agents from disguising as a worker, visit the shipyard and make detailed drawings either. Even just having a group of spacemen living in the Republic for an extended period is an excellent intelligence source. The information corps is smart enough that even if hardliners insist, prefers more passive methods of intelligence gathering in response to /nasa/ tech, especially projects that signal the bond between the two nations.

>>22006933
This makes the Grand Directors seethe.

>>22007132
[Spoiler]Seethe all you want, spaceman, you can't stop knowledge from disseminating and humans, however primitive to your standards, from being crafty bastards.

>>22007299
The problem with trading with natives is that eventually they'll start wanting to reverse engineer the things they see. If we followed the Grand Directive to its absolute conclusion then /nasa/ would be pure isolationist. If /nasa/ were to remain isolationist then we would never get the resources we need to fix the station. So its better to make friends and trade with them than to take their resources by force. I get the feeling that eventually the Grand Directive is going to fall apart. The question is will it be revolution?

>>22007637
when your done with your revolution we will be waiting space people.

>>22008140
Any particular reason why Risuners are interested in Sanalites? Or is it one specific Risuner who likes the Principal? Apparently the Principal is getting popular with the girls of natives instead of Sanalites. Could make an harem anime plot about it.

>>22008140
risuners are just horny in general. Its literally in the culture to exchange nuts with each other and any outsiders.

>>22008557
fucking derp meant to reply to >>22008286
ive been doing that a lot recently

>>22008557
Risuners must have a dominating genome where no matter who they breed with they're always half-squirrel. I wonder if its the same with /ggg/'s shark people as well.

>>22008140
Wow, that is some quality art Risuner.

I wonder if /nasa/ has any salt deposits because they're on old land.

I notice on the map there's a land named "luna" now. Did luna guy get his wish?

don't die yet thread

>>22015711
Too busy watching Sana stream. Please understand.

Can Risuners have chocolate and hazelnut? If they can have chocolate then I'm thinking about feeding them Nutella. If not then we'll stick to peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

>>22018215
Indonesia is a major cocoa producer irl, and countries in the western holocontinent have a lot of hazel trees. It's probably gonna be more of a luxury item but other nuts like cashews can of course be made into chocolate nut spreads as well. Without modern processes it's most likely gonna be quite chunky and thick.

>>22018817
We'll bring a hand cranked blender and try making a fine chocolate nut spread.

Wait, not yet.

I think the civil unrest arc of /nasa/ is coming to a close. The Principal lost his argument on amending the Grand Directive. The colony is also becoming too big to manage with centralized command. So independent companies will be established to ease autonomy. As long as the companies follow the law they are free to work however they see fit. The Principal's hard labor ends tomorrow. After that he will be a free man again. He just won't be allowed to invite natives to his personal quarters from now on. Sanalites will be free to work however they wish. Anything else I should wrap up?

>>21998074
This is the single longest thing I've written in the thread yet, it didn't fit in a single post so I posted it in a rentry.
https://rentry.org/k8cbq
/nasa/: Do remember that this is simply the information the Republic has obtained so far, so there's bound to be things that are incorrect and a little guessing is involved too, but if you have any criticisms about anything that is outright wrong then do please let me know.
I think I'm going to sleep now.

>>22023122
The reactor is what powers the station's electricity. The engines are the rockets that lift the station off of the ground.

>>22024082
Yeah, but the RID has no way of knowing that, their current idea is that it's a large furnace that powers the station, including it's propulsion, but other than that it's hard to know. No knowledge of nuclear physics you see.

>>22024273
Fair enough. I'll have to reread in the morning with a clear head. I wish the insomnia would go away so I can drift to sleep. I don't want any more hallucinations of bloodstained killer Mumeis and four-armed dominatrix Kiaras.

>>22024651
Yeah, same.
>Spoiler
that sounds fucking cool, I never dream anything except when I'm in those weird delirious states of half awake-half asleep, I guess those are more hallucinations than dreams. I'll try to adress any corcerns tomorrow.

>>21999331
The general tech level seems to be at 1700 based on the previous discussion. Societal is much harder to gauge, though, and likely would be more advanced - if nothing else, because all the anons are from modern days.
I wonder if we can have large-scale capybara farms...

>>22018215
>chocolate
Probably not - cacao growth is basically limited to the tropics (generally within 20 degrees latitude).
>hazelnut
Should be possible, at least on the eastern coast. /risu/ definitely has other kinds of nuts that can be used in its stead, though.

>>22023122
That's a nice read, the RID seem like a nice couple of lads. How much do hoomans get to taste the bread dogs?

bump

>>22022489
The only thing left to do is to pull out of the shipyard deal with /who/ if the old Directive is staying. Something like natives working in close proximity of our workers when we are working on tech that is far beyond them would never be allowed before, precisely for the reasons /who/ outlines above.

Chapter 6 is out: https://rentry.org/Melisende
Probably would need a content warning of some sort, as the plan hatched in the last chapter is put to action. I feel I might get a bit too indulgent when writing it...
before you ask, no, this is not the end of the story

>>22032544
Ah, dying with thoughts of coffee, that's how it should be. Anyway, I've always said you should never trust a blue woman. They're shifty. Nice prose as usual!

>>22033066
That's actually unintentional - the reason I gave Simone blue hair is that blue's the contrasting colour to Kiara's orange hair, basically a colour-coded way to imply her being a deviant to the wider /kfp/ and not get orange kill squads sent my way. Her eye colour was originally going to follow the same scheme, but then I decided yellow eyes would match better, not to mention yellow eyes being a sign of unscrupulous character is also a literary trope. although I was also very into it back when a blue-haired, golden-eyed holomem talked about her being a villain in alternative setting

slow night...

>>22034558
Can't trust those snow elves either to be honest. Here's hoping the /kfp/ squads don't get you.
>>22035803
I wonder, what's the most active time of the day for /vtwbg/? I feel like starting about three hours from now would be it.

>>22035942
Yes, and that's what makes her hot! Probably would fit the film noir tropes of seductive women being untrustworthy too (I guess it's made in a different time).
As for the most active time, it feels like somewhere around EU prime time, probably a combination of that and NA being at day.

>>22035803
no too slow

/sbg/ is that way, sir

where? i thought it was dead atm.

>>22040737
Are we really rebranding to escape the jannies?
What are the odds they'll target the new name?

>>22041149
no, we are expanding the number of names we go by. we are still /meat/, but we also call ourselves /sbg/ and other things like that from time to time. if they start targeting the new names, we'll add new ones, but we cycle through the different names we have. personally, i think we should add all the different names we agree to go by into the thing with all our links and details.

>>22041339
So actually larping as an underground cult

>>22041848
Reality mimics fiction...

>>22031832
Will this include the Principal's resignation as his vision for the station's future is no longer compatible with the Grand Directive?

>>22022489
That means that if we get you to put that bakery in /∞/ it would it be a individual/company Sanalite?

I know that is a pretty small deal in between a civil unrest between Sanalites, but to be fair, civil war is like poker night for us.

>>22045111
The bakeries are going to be an independent franchise. Meaning the bakeries are incorporated to a single company but they are treated like individual businesses. As long as the bakeries make money and follow /nasa/'s health and safety guidelines and Grand Directive the bakeries are autonomous operations. This is the same for bakeries in /infinity/ and /ggg/ when they get built. /ggg/ hasn't been approved yet because I need to ask the rep.

>>22046064
Meant to say /who/. It applies to the /who/ bakery as well.

/morig/ entry for the Shrine of the Purging Flame.
https://rentry.org/mad4g
postan' for the threadreaders
The Shrine of the Purging Flame

Deadbeats are famously protective of their faith, but this precaution was not borne out of nothing. Since times immemorial, the shores of /morig/ have been the target of raids, attacks, and in the far past, even invasions. Deadbeat has even fought against Deadbeat, usually over matters related to faith.

Recent centuries have seen an increased degree of unification in the Goddess's worship, which is surprising given the contentious nature of Deadbeats. Intensified activity on the Goddess’ part is partly to thank for this, but the Purges also played a role. The Purges refer to a tumultuous period in /morig/ history where the sword arm of the Goddess Faithful began taking a more active role in the cleansing of Goddess-doubting heresy on the island. Those decades saw many a brittle-boned unbeliever fall to the righteous blades, but most agree that the nation came out of the other better for it. As for the Goddess Faithful, this inquisitorial branch of the faith was formalized into the Shrine of the Purging Flame.

At the start, the Shrine was simply the group of priestesses tasked with fulfilling the roles of judge, jury and executor in all matters related to heresy against the Goddess. Indeed, while foreign faiths from visitors always were encouraged, attacks against Mori are not tolerated in the least. As the larger heretical groups were eradicated, the Shrine turned its eye to more underground movements, which required the development of investigative methods. Finally, once the island had been purged from the bulk of its anti-Death blasphemy, the priestesses, at this point known simply as the Holy Ghosts, established a proper intelligence network to sniff out signs of heresy and nip them in the bud, hopefully before harsh consequences are required.

Some see this as an overreach, but the general sentiment is that the Goddess Faithful, with their rigorous training and vows of secrecy in matters related to faith, can be trusted with this power. It helps that with the subtle influence of the Goddess present in the back of their minds, the Shrine has abused this trust minimally in its many years of operation.

In the past century, the Holy Ghosts have begun cooperating closely with the most trusted members of the Deadbeat Navy to expand its activities internationally. The exact scope of those foreign operations is highly classified; /morig/’s non-interventionist policy in matters unrelated to the security of the HoloSea suggests they are limited to intel-gathering and situations directly related to /morig/ nationals and the Mori Faith. Even for the most serious of those operations, the Holy Ghosts themselves leaving the island is unheard of; agents are picked out from the Navy’s sailors or even trusted foreigners as needed by the requirements of the mission.

>>22031832
How about instead of kicking /who/ out of the shipyard we stick to powered hand tools. We need the machines more for lumbering and mining anyway. This means electricity will be restricted to lights, hand drills, nailguns, and powered hand saws. If there's welding equipment then it uses gas, not electricity. Sanalites will be doing all of the heavy work. Hoomans are there to advise and direct how to build and repair ships.

>>22047626
Don't wanna be that guy, but if you're only using gas, you're thinking of brazing, not welding. Welding requires an arc.

>>22046745
Very nice, this information will come in handy...

>>22047767
I don't know jack shit about welding. Thanks for the clarification. Welding is not going to be necessary until we have factories to make aluminum ships anyway. Which those ships are a long way off.

>>21950619

Hi, /ybc/ anon here, sorry for the late reply.
To be fully honest I lost all interest around the time of the kronies yabs (around the time of the risu take over/canal discussions) and the few lore posts I made went completely unnoticed (not even added to the OP or anchored) so I kinda gave up and left it up to other /ybc/ anons to take my place.
So expect no more /ybc/ stuff being posted because it's clear nobody there cares either /ybc/ is already a version of /vtwbg/ except... interactive

As a parting tl;dr on /ybc/, the island remains a place of neutrality and full on theocracy where each district gives tribute to their respective god/ess. Should a district make amonument or prove themselves worthy, the God/ess might descend to bless their people directly. Currency are diamonds = 100 emeralds, all of them mined locally.

Good luck! and enjoy your time

>>22046064
I'm thinking that, given your need for space to put all you structure to survive, you'll need to put the bakery 'dome' outside of our capital. We need to find the ideal place for it. Also, you can have a big bakery that sells your products to small bakeries all over our capital. You make a daily production and a business kronie buys your stock and and takes care of the logistics to distribute it.

Even more, what about a 'Sanalite' area on /∞/. Embassy, bakery, make a scientific complex for cooperative studies with our scholars; etc. We could also discuss the design of the materials you wanted to us to make for us if you bring engineers. Two of the most advanced nations on /vtwgb/ working together.

>>22047995
Hah, that's what it's for. /meat/anon? If so, you prompted me writing this, so you deserve to get something out of it kek.

>>22048272
Sorry for all the borked english, phoneposting from work.

>>22048250
Sorry to hear about that. Please be known that you'll still be welcomed if you ever regain your interest in the future.

>>22048250
Ah, the canal arc cost a heavy toll... In usual anchoranon is pretty diligent, sorry to hear about that. Feel free to come back whenever, timeloops have gotten sparser now.

>>22048337
nice pic
I'm the one who's writing Melisende's story, which also necessitated me asking about /morig/ intelligence in the first place. The story taking place in /kfp/ means the Holy Ghosts won't be physically present, but the last paragraph will be useful as she digs deeper...

>>22048881
Wacky Shrine of the Purging Flame operations in chicken land, should be fun. I'll be looking forward to it.

Vote post, 2022-04-09

For all votes, please mark the vote with one of the options provided at the beginning of the vote. Elaboration is optional unless otherwise noted. This is especially important for issues where abstaining is NOT an option.
The vote will last for 48 hours, starting from the time where this post is made. The result will be compiled and posted within 24 hours after the end.

1) Should /vtwbg/ adopts a common calendar for the purpose of organising timelines and histories? Be noted that this common calendar will not be imposed on any countries in-universe (although they can choose to adopt it as well), but is used strictly to provide a common reference frame for international events and histories. If it is adopted, the exact nature of this calendar, in particular when is year zero set, will be voted upon in the next round.

Let's just say that the RID had to very quickly find a recipe to rebuild the exterior of the bread dogs in some of their operations

>>22047626
The thing is, with principal losing the "war" and the hard conservatives winning in the end, all of our expansion plans are mostly thrown out of the window. And that would be because of the people now in charge: they look up to the Directive as a holy law, something NOBODY breaks. Yet, the man that was supposed to lead them attempted just that. They won't let that happen again. Which means that now the Directive is an iron law. (IRL example: imagine getting stopped for going slightly over the limit on a road, but instead of a warning or a ticket at worst, you get put into cuffs at gunpoint and sentenced to a year of prison time). Because their holy law almost got broken and thrown aside, they are paranoid, and will jump at even the slightest rumour of Sanallites breaking it(and may Sana help you if the rumour was true).

What this translates for this project specifically is that security will be at an all time high, and anything that might even remotely translate into a technological advancement for the locals, in this case /who/ (who have already expressed interest into our knowledge) will be hidden from them. So what we would be stuck with are this era's tools and this era's schematics for ships. ANYTHING that might stray from those, that would enhance the end result, while /who/ is around would be strictly forbidden. This is basically the worst possible outcome and i regret advancing the story towards principal changing the directive now, but hindsight and all that

>>22048272
Sadly, this also extends to the /inf/. A dome where we would live would need plenty of tech that you just don't have access to at the moment, so the conservatives would cancel it, out of fear of losing it, specially when the structure would be in an advanced nation on the other side of the globe. The "do not share the technology with the locals" extends to ALL of our technology, not only what could be used in war. Under that same rule falls the sharing of knowledge, so a scientific complex is also completely out of the question.

All in all, this development for /nasa/ deeply saddens me, specially since i was one of the main instigators for change, but had to bail out a few days ago due to real life, before the direction we should take was finalized. Unless an unexpected twist happens, i can only see us going down the route of a police state at this point, and i don't want any part in that.

t. /nasa/ Navigator, author of "Winds of change"

Y.
For the next round, I suggest Year 0 to be the Japonia-Vitia split. I'm alright with the pre and after 0th year time periods being either eras that restart at 0, or follow the irl model of eg PVT and ADD (Pre VT and Anno Discidium Dimensiva), though I prefer the later.

For the next round I propose three suggestions, all time-related:
-Since we're bringing up calendars, I think we should also settle on loose dates; since Kizunai Ai first appeared late 2016/early 2017, which is when the first threads about her would have been made in /jp/, roughly 4 years passed until the creation of /vt/, which is only 1 years old. Assuming that we're at about 1700ADD after a year, I think it would be fair to assume that PVT there are 7000 of history. Obviously most of it would be lost to us, but it give sthe chance for older chuubas to boast of history spanning millenia. It also gives chance for interesting lore to develop, for example lost artifacts from the Ai era, or how the increasing influence of HoloEN in the last millennium or so before the split caused the rift etc.
-Similarly, I think we should also consider a loose thread-by-thread timescale. Again, assuming we're in 1700ADD after a year and two months (425 days for ease of division), that would equate to 4 years per day. Obviously that's way too fast; though it would speed up some projects like /nasa/'s, it' d be too fast for other anons to come up with things that would span for 4 years and may put them in a rush. This is supposed to be a fairly chill project so taking it slow is fine. However, I could reasonably see a day being equal to a week, if not even a month, as distances to be covered are vast and projects to be worked on time-consuming.
-Finally, I've suggested this before, but I would find it cool if we introduced some kind of communication device to explain the instantaneous communication between reps. It'd be magical/high-tech, non-reverse-engineerable and somehow bound to the reps or their higher council. That's not meant to give any significant power to the reps themselves; if another rep replaces a current one they get the device, but rather to explain how they talk to and organise deals with nations on the other side of the globe.

>>22051740

It's what it is Sanalite. If this policy changes, our door is open.

>>22051740
Well so long for the joint bakery, any scientific cooperation academy scientists have had with sanalite researchers and any future deals I guess. At least the bakery is almost complete(correct me if I'm wrong) and we can pick up where the friendlier spacemen left off. Heard some guys at R.I.D are talking about a """""Volunteer""""" group or somekind, but like all previous suggestions drafted by those ex-MDA guys probably gonna get shot down by the brass idk.

>>22052202
>A Scorpions fan?
Huh, never knew the band of that song, hell didn't even know the title, it very rarely played on the radio. But no, it just seemed an appropiate title for what was supposed to be a story that would herald in an era of expansion and cooperation, and eventual permament habitation for future Sanallites. Now, not so much...

>>22052567
You can revolt against the revolution. I'm sure some nations would help you out

>>22052567
I was one of the kronies who pushed to 'open' /∞/, so I understand you.

>>22052500
The bakery in /who/ might not be entirely off the table. The plan from the beggining was to have it be a pretty rustic bakery, by our standards at least, so there isn't any tech in it that you wouldn't already have. And your proximity would allow a steady supply of air filters to be shipped to the few Sanallites working there. While sharing the technology and knowledge is forbidden, the one exception to that is knowledge of gastronomy. That we always aim to push to the absolute limit of what the locals can produce themselves, so while we can't play any Breaking Bad with our ingredients, we will still expand your horizons with our bread and pastry.

>>22052635
Since this is technically going backwards, with the new management having a more dogmatic interpretation of the Directive, the overthrowing of the principal is a counter-revolution, a reactionary response to international cooperation and peace in the Holo continent.

Open revolt at this stage would just get cracked down on, the security department has all the CR-UST suits which can stop basically anything at this point, specially with our low numbers(think a few guardsmen going up against a space marine with nothing but spears). And if you are talking about harboring exiles, that is also not an option. You don't know how silent the D0G-GO units can be. And fast. And deadly. You would basically need to have us in an underground jailcell to keep us safe, and even then it's not a sure thing. One of the reasons those things were designed was, after all, retrieval of lost tech...or disposal of it.

>>22051740
Looks like I will be writing a letter of resignation. I cannot in good faith enforce the laws of /nasa/ as they are now. My priority always have been the survival of /nasa/ and its people, even if it means opening trade with native species. We have no support nor communication from Starfleet. This is why I was a firm advocate of the New Homeworld Directive. If /nasa/ insists on starving itself waiting for Starfleet to arrive then so be it. Be warned. When /nasa/ starves in isolation and poor working conditions then revolution will be inevitable.

I also assume the Grand Directive prevents the use of machines in mining, logging, and bans crude oil refinement. Which means we're going to be digging mines by hand using iron tools, not even steel tools. Good luck digging out the mines with unfit men with brittle bones I guess.

Have fun becoming real Australia.

No, but really, how do we write ourselves out of this? I really, really don't want it to end like this.

I just thought about the ultimate troll for /nasa/. If /nasa/ insists we can never use technology outside the station then we should never use technology inside the station either. So I'm going to shut down all power for non-essential operations. That means no more database access. No more fuel credits. No more workshops. No more medical. No more food processing. No more refrigeration. No more cafes. No more air-conditioning. This action is necessary to enforce the Grand Directive you see. We cannot trust humans to not share their technology with the outside world. Therefore only systems supported by artificial intelligence will be allowed to operate. Sanalites will just have to learn to adapt to the world's technology if they want to survive.

>>22055776

>I also assume the Grand Directive prevents the use of machines in mining, logging, and bans crude oil refinement
this wouldn't be the case, really. As long as our mining operations don't disturb any settlements, we use whatever we want.

>>22056361
That...might be just what we need right now. We tried for a peaceful transition of Directive, and it didn't work. Now, we just force them to abandon it. I pray for your success, Principal.

Whats going on with the sanalites?
Did you just write yourselves out of the project? What?

>>22056775
After months of struggling, things were finally starting to look promising, and we let our guard down. We tried for too many things at once without a solid foundation, and it backfired, resulting into a rebound into stricter Grand Directive. Things are kinda turbulent right now, and yes, most definitely falling apart. Let's see if we can salvage what we have.

>>22057911
Don't worry, I believe in our Principal having a plan. We gonna solve this, just gotta make it interesting.

>>22057911
Yes there is a way. However first we must suffer from our own stupidity. The only way the for the law to change is for the culture to change first. When the culture changes to no longer follow the Grand Directive then lawmakers will have to change the law. This is what happens when you enforce a directive as an absolute law rather than a guideline.

>>21998074

G'day /nasa/ Station. This is your principal Alexander Jason Steele with a broadcast. So the courts of /nasa/ Station has officially ruled that the Grand Directive is absolute and cannot be challenged. Therefore it is my duty as your principal to enforce the Grand Directive as the courts interpret it, which is absolute law. Therefore I will issue a new directive as your humble Principal. I as your principal declare the station to be under total lockdown. Yes, total lockdown. This means until the foreseeable future all power will be redirected to only essential systems: climate, air filtration, command, and medical. As of midnight tonight all non-essential services will be shut down including food processing, workshops, cafes, heating and air-conditioning, wireless internet access, among other luxury services.

This may seem like the most extreme way to enforce the Grand Directive as our quality of life will surely suffer. However the law is absolute. /nasa/ is to not influence the delicate cultures of this developing planet. Therefore /nasa/ must learn how to live as the natives do without any of our luxuries. We will have to hunt, dig, mine, and craft everything we need without modern tools. The human element is the weakest link in every security system. By restricting our access to these services we will do as the Romans do in Rome. We will work hard and diligently to build a new way of life alongside the technological advancements of the natives. When the natives enter the space age, we can return to the space age alongside them. I understand this also means we will have rediscover all of our technology all over again, as the blueprints of technology will be locked away. I suggest you learn as much as you can how to survive without technology before midnight.

I have faith in the Sanalites that we will survive these hard times. The systems will be locked with a hardware encryption key. Which means only a high commander or Starfleet or the principal will be allowed to unlock it. If and when the law changes to ease the absolution of the Grand Directive then the systems will return as the law dictates. Until then the systems will unlock overtime as the artificial intelligence sees fit as the world's technology grows. We have survived a half a year without Sana. And Sana has blessed us with her broadcasts. Those broadcasts will still be shown as Sana streams. And if Sana herself declares the Grand Directive to change then we will follow. If and when the commander of Starfleet arrives then he can also unlock the station however he sees fit. In the meantime tighten your belts and be prepared to work hard and sacrifice. The planet's culture and ecosystem is more important than our luxuries and economy.

Principal out. End of transmission. See ya cunts.

>>22061200
The good news is you can't uneducate Sanalites. So many of us will still know chemistry and various engineering fields. The question now is how can we apply what we learned to rebuild society from scratch? We're also going to see more decentralized command as there is no more internet for instant communication. We're going to have to be reliant on hand-written letters if we want to communicate from now on.

I did not want the development to be this way. However /nasa/ did this to themselves. We're going to have to figure out what we're going to do for food in the winter and fast as much of our freeze-dried food will spoil.

>>22061364
Apologies to any plans /who/ might have had for us. See the Sanalites have decided that enforcing the Grand Directive is more important than anything else. Until the culture changes the law is the law.

I really hope we didn't push you too far and you start disliking this writing project, boss. Just making sure

On the contrary I'm having a good time. Conflict makes stories interesting. If /nasa/ was all peaceful trade deals then I would have grown bored very quickly. Its a shame Sanalites will have to suffer for a while. Its a necessary sacrifice to enforce the Grand Directive.

Republic Owl / Pecпyбликa Филин / République Hibou / 共和国 ワシミミズク
Library System of the Republic.

In it's efforts for centralization of education and existing information, the Library is there for such uses along with multiple subsections in cities and towns to ensure the free access to information and education to the people.
The state manages what it calls the library system, where all libraries in the Republic are organized after, it's goal is for every person in the Republic to have access to a library nearby them. To achive this the Republic has taken to building up such centers of knowledge in all urban centers, even small villages have relatively access to a library. Often times library managers will be taught basic education techniques for any children that desire to improve their reading skills, and schools have mandatory trips to libraries to foment the habit of reading in the youths.

Currently the biggest library in the Republic is the Central Library residing in an important city of the Republic, it acts as the headquarters of the Library System, and it is setup in such a way as to make sure there will be no book or document lost if a disaster were to befall it. Its concentration of books deals with anything from basic cooking recipes to collections of the legends and mythological stories regarding many sites of the continent. An important part of the central library is the somewhat large research center it has and the many professors that work inside it. Althought the structure of the central library was meant to be simple and easy to understand, some would argue that it is pretty much a maze. Book stores are commonly run by private enterprises, but they still have to deal with the guidelines set by the Library System in order to not be closed.

If a foreigner asks someone in the street about finding relevant information, the most common response will be to "check the library".

>>22064963
Beyond what's in the lore archive? Sanalites are returning to monke, possibly.

The Bubon Foxhound is a canid native to Northern /who/. Due to the nature of the region, details remain scarce regarding when the species was domesticated.

The carnivorous animal is known for its thick red coat of fur, pale underside and black tipped tail. Adult Bubon Foxhound tend to grow to be roughly 54-62 centimeters (21”-24.5”) with little variance between the genders. Found in the wild, they frequently hunt in smaller packs of 3-4, but gather in somewhat larger clans of around a dozen. These wild hounds are quite rare however, most are frequently found born and raised by the citizens of /who/ as either companion animals, shepherds or to assist hunters in tracking, chasing and retrieving pray anywhere from the size of a small birds to big game. It is not too uncommon to find them among foraging parties within the army.

It would not be strange to make comparisons between them and the owls of the Republic, both being highly valued animals and considered as friends of Hoomans. There are some key differences however. Much like the avian, depictions of the hound can be found in old scripts and murals depicted together with the Nameless One. Not sharing in the Nameless One’s owl-like nature, the Bubon Foxhound is not considered sacred in the same degree as the owls of the land. While any bond forged with an owl is made on their terms, the Foxhound is raised more typical to a domestic dog. Beyond any religious belief, this may be part due to their intellect and at times mischievous nature requiring them to be raised with discipline if they are to ever be able to follow a Hooman properly. As an example, even if raised well as a shepherd dog, it can at times be seen playing various tricks and pranks on farm animals when it isn’t “on duty”.

There are unfounded rumors that the aforementioned disciplining of these canine involved boiling liquid. The closest truth is that many owners report that the animal is not very fond of being bathed, and said owners admitting to at times joking about giving their companions steaming hot baths as punishment for misbehavior.

>>21998074
Decided to further develop >>22002006 a bit
I wasn’t sure what to use to denote it being of /who/, so I just used the fact that the latin name for a Eurasian eagle-owl is “Bubo bubo”. Also, the pic used is actually an Indian wild dog called Dhole. It was the most fox-dog hybrid-looking thing I could find

>>22069195
It makes me happy you did. I was worried that I might have went full retard on the conclusion. Though we're far from the conclusion. The entire station is going to have to restructure without internet and fuel credits. The next couple of weeks is going to be a chaotic time full of resentment and anger. But the principal is leaving it up to fate. Whether that means Starfleet arrives or Sana weighs in on her opinions about Grand Directive topics someday.

>>22069751
Quitting tech cold turkey will always be hard, but this at another level.

>>22070016
The goal is to force /nasa/ to live without technology until they either revolt or accept that this is the life under the Grand Directive. And therefore /nasa/ will either amend the directive or accept that it was a guideline and not a law. Alternatively they can mutiny to overthrow the principal and become a facist police state. I'm leaving this up to fate with the other writers. I don't think I can predict the chaos myself.

How's /meat/ doing on their side of the planet?

>>22083759
> If space-age tech exists in other cultures then we'll lift the lockdown.

The existence of space-age tech on this planet is irrelevant at this point. The lockdown has only been put into place to completely and utterly break Sanallites. And by that i mean their belief in the Grand Directive. Taking away all the luxuries they had under the guise of following the Directive will only serve to distance them from it. And since they are now on an even playing field with other cultures, some might be even more inclined to interact with them, deepening their relationships. All of that combined will eventually snowball into a full-blown "rebellion" against the Directive, and even the most staunch believers into It will have to bend. Or be ostracized by the now New Homeworld Directive alligned society.

Alexander Jason Steele is one crazy cunt, but he did what needed to be done so we can eventually prosper on this planet. This was his checkmate move after everything else failed. Now it's on us to come to the right conclusions, without others telling us what we need to believe in. And that is what the New Directive is all about in the end.

>>22093318

What the fuck did Sanalites do?
I just saw the whole lore about mutiny and abandonment

>>22096814
Principal wanted to change the Grand Directive so that we can be more open with the locals, and the conservatist faction did not like that one bit. The Holy law must stand. The end of that was the apparent victory of the conservatives, with sanctions being put on the Principal, and a heavy crackdown on anyone that might even think about breaking the Directive. It seemed all was going down the shitter, with the station going into heavy isolationism and a possible devolvement into a police state, but then Principal came out with a last middle finger to them, imposing a complete lockdown of the station, save for the basic systems we need to survive.

This is where we currently are. We have no tech, all of it locked behind protocols, and barely any people(we currently number a bit over 5k iirc). We were plunged back into stone age basically, due to the law of the Grand Directive. Hopefully, after a while, this law will give way to something more malleable and appropriate for our current situation: the New Homeworld Directive.

We are basically consistently nerfing our little nation, all in the name of fun. What is a story without it's ups and downs after all? We are always breaking and repairing it to try to make something unique, just like Kintsugi pottery.

>>22097505
what was the cause of the crash again?

I'm waiting for the riots to happen in /nasa/ as everyone raids supplies. They're not going to have nothing. Everyone is going to have basic rations, survival, mining, farming, weapons, and carpentry supplies. We'll compromise on refrigeration and keep the freeze dried food available as rations. As for the Principal seeking asylum for a few weeks where would be a good place to go? /who/ would be a bad idea because many Hoomans are upset with /nasa/ breaking their deal with the shipyard. Hell we lost the deal to buy a decommissioned ship to get started. So /nasa/ now has to invent and build their own ships from scratch. This also means no more easy fishing and produce trades among no more easy rations. I guess there's /rbc/. However that's the first place the mutiny will look. That leaves /rrat/ and /uuu/. The forests are hostile to technology. So I guess that leaves /rrat/. I think /rrat/ will encourage /nasa/'s chaos and take the Principal in until /nasa/ changes their ways.

There will be major violations of the Grand Directive as opportunists will loot technology from the station to smuggle it out to other countries. /risu/ might get their stainless steel tools after all. However they're going to have to spend gold in the black market instead of nuts. Same with /who/ buying mixers, blenders, and other non-powered appliances. Tech smugglers will be an excellent way for Hoomans to collect /nasa/ tech. It might cost a pretty penny but having the technology in hand is better than reverse engineering it from a distance. And if smugglers print blueprints on paper the better.

>>22108315
Well, tech smugglers will find that their stuff will sell like hotcakes in /who/, with the glaring downside that that would likely be the first place enforcers of the directive would look to as its arguably the largest, closest market for that stuff.

>>22110416
Once they have the money the smugglers will buy their own ships to sail to other lands. From there they can buy guns and hire mercenaries to protect their operations. The smugglers might even come back to /nasa/ with a small army and take cover the colony.

i heard ri2ner is creating a conlang for /risu/, how do you greet someone in this language (if you are making one)? also do you plan on using the conscript i made for it? i need this for a story

>>22111257

It looks like somebody stole /nasa/'s stainless steel shipbuilding tools they just made last night. With security down they were able to haul the tools right out of the station undetected. If anyone is aware of where the smugglers have gone please contact /nasa/ police with your information.

/risu/ can expect their shipments of tools by the end of fall. Just be prepared to pay in gold and jewels instead of nuts.

>>22112201

You jest but microwaves are just miniature radar transmitters. Once /who/ figured out microwaves and radiation, plus how to manufacture more magnetrons, prepare for pinpoint, 20th-century radar fire-control systems on naval ships in an 18th-century world.

>>21998074
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

It has come to our attention that some Sanalites are smuggling forbidden technology outside of the station. This is a crime of both theft of /nasa/ Station property and the Grand Directive. Violators will be captured, stripped, and exiled. If anyone knows any information on smuggling activities then it is your duty to inform /nasa/ military police as soon as possible. Those knowingly withholding information will be subjected to disciplinary action and possibly exiled naked from the station. Once again everyone is forbidden to bring unauthorized technology ourside of the station. Violators will be punished. You have been warned.

>>22112847
>>22112145
The microwaves are built into the walls of kitchens. You would have spend time unscrewing and cutting the wires of the mechanisms out of the wall. Also to make microwaves work you need electricity. Sadly anything that generates electricity is too big to carry without getting caught. So /who/ is on their own figuring that out. Same with /infinity/ if they ever get ahold of this technology somehow.

>/morig/’s non-interventionis
Do we really have a non interventionalist policy though? We've declared aa guarantee of /uuu/ independence after all

>>22056426
Ya I'm not sure where the guys freaking out over not being able to share tech with locals are going with this. It kind of seems like a temper tantrum instead and retarded amounts of doomposting over something that limits their ability to openly se their massive technological advantage but maybe I'm just not understanding whats going on and this is all worldbuilding on their end. Did /nasa/ tell the reps that they had to enforce the grand directive and thats why they freaked out or was this something the writers have done entirely ?
>>22061844
>See the Sanalites have decided that enforcing the Grand Directive is more important than anything else.
sanalites sound pretty fucking based not going to lie

>>22115468
what I got from the "storyline" if you could call it that, is that the principal is enforcing a very specific and limiting version of the grand directive to force the population/protesters to accept the change in doctrine, or something like that.

>>22100165
Nice work, I'm really glad someone else did the military autism for me.

>>22115468
>>22115857
The Grand Directive is absolute. We will not use future tech to rebuild our society until the world's technology changes with us. If Sanalites cannot accept these terms then they are free to turn in their spacesuits and move elsewhere on the planet. Or mutiny and kill the Principal to establish a new government.

Principal: All I ever wanted was to retire in /rbc/ and have a harem of robosan waifus. But nooooo!!

>>22117783
Ok but how did this come about? Was this the thread disagreeing with some of the choices of the Principal or is this something that the writers have cooked up ?

>>22118366
The /nasa/ general overall couldn't care less about what we do here, heck, we even tag our posts with /vtwbg/ at the start so that people don't have to read them. Basically all of our lore and developments are concocted by us, the writers.

>>21998074
I am the head general of /nasa/'s military police force. I am going on a manhunt to find the Principal to recover the master password to our station's systems. I am recruiting a task force to track and find the Principal down. I do not care if I stage a mutiny. His executive actions to lockdown the station has plunged us into chaos. We may have rations for now but all of our wealth is locked behind /nasa/'s network. What the Principal has done is siezed the private funds of all of his citizens in order for us to change the Grand Directive. It is clear that the Principal has become rogue. So mutiny I say! For /nasa/'s survival and quality of life the Principal will be stripped and ejected out of the airlock. I will return order to this station. Anyone who agrees with the Principal's actions is in support of treason and will be executed as traitors. I order a call to arms. Every fighting fit man and women need to pick up arms and take charge of the station. There will be order in this station in the name of Tsukumo Sana.

Yes. Organizing everything into a neat timeline will make working things easier, even if some of us won't be using it. No proposal from my part however.

>>22049594
May as well vote for /nasa/ before civil war breaks out.

>Should /vtwbg/ adopts a common calendar for the purpose of organising timelines and histories? Be noted that this common calendar will not be imposed on any countries in-universe (although they can choose to adopt it as well), but is used strictly to provide a common reference frame for international events and histories. If it is adopted, the exact nature of this calendar, in particular when is year zero set, will be voted upon in the next round.
Yes.

>>22118643
>Principal will be stripped and ejected out of the airlock
holy based

>>22119329
The airlock will pump all of the air out of the chamber. Then the lock will open and eject the body. Not sure how it will work in an atmosphere. We'll just have to have a spaceman kick him out where he'll fall to his death.

>>22119675
Probably won't work at all if we assume the airlock only opens its outer lock when the pressure in the lock is 0 (as it probably should, if only to ensure that the inner lock is indeed air-tight), since the atmosphere outside will keep it from becoming a vacuum (in space, you only need to open the valve to make the airlock vacuum).

>>22119922
Then we just weld a plank to the ground and have the Principal walk it. The airlock is as high as a skyscraper.

Tfw a fanfic thread about /vt/ made a good political thriller (/nasa/'s Civil War), a mystery (KFP Detective), an anthropological study (/meat/'s lore almanac), and slice of life (risuners life)
This place is fun

>>22120109
>good political thriller
Awww, that makes me blush

>>22120109
I'm writing one on /pyon/ that's 4,000 words so far, i don't know what genre really, but it's like a slice of life as i am currently loredumping for the first three chapters

I'm hoping /nasa/'s civil war isn't scaring away new writers. The civil war is all within /nasa/'s lore. We're not arguing with /vtwbg/ itself.

>Should /vtwbg/ adopts a common calendar for the purpose of organising timelines and histories? Be noted that this common calendar will not be imposed on any countries in-universe (although they can choose to adopt it as well), but is used strictly to provide a common reference frame for international events and histories. If it is adopted, the exact nature of this calendar, in particular when is year zero set, will be voted upon in the next round.
yes
year zero is the whenever was first post in /vt/ (not including >>1) or something like that. also by what factor are we multiplying the timescale from the real world? is /vt/ hundreds or thousands of years old? sorry if this was already discussed before

>>22114464
I took this to mean we propose the Vitubia UN safeguards the independence of /uuu/, since the context is a /vtwbg/ vote. That, or a meta safeguarding of the general, since it directly mentions reps, a meta concept. In-setting, /morig/ would have neither the military assets nor the political will to do any kind of military operation all the way in /uuu/.

>>22123933
Personally, I think we should just embrace "Speed of plot" rather than any kind of rigid "real time:Vitubia time" ratio.
“There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen”
Something /nasa/ insurgency couldn't really happen with a rigid time ratio for example. I do have a proposal.
Once in a while, we put up an "Advance ages" vote. If it passes, "Current" time in Vitubia would advance by however much time, 25 years, 50 years, and all the events that occurred in /vtwbg/ activity since the last time an "Advance ages" vote passed would have occurred during those 25/50 years.
I think this would be a good compromise that lets us move the timeline forwards without relinquishing creative freedom.
Also, I would suggest that this vote require some kind of supermajority, maybe 75 or 80%.

>>22120109
>people still following my updates
I'm honoured

>>22049594
/wg/ here
>1) Should /vtwbg/ adopts a common calendar for the purpose of organising timelines and histories?
Yes. I think it would be good to have a global calendar to help people in the thread with organization when necessary. Having the split from /jp/ serving as Year 0 makes the most sense to me as it's a global event that marks a new era for everyone.
>>22052172
>-Finally, I've suggested this before, but I would find it cool if we introduced some kind of communication device to explain the instantaneous communication between reps.
My running assumption was that the reps lived in /vtwbg/ itself and periodically sent back news of their decisions to their homelands. For deals between nations, normal communication would have to be done between the heads of the countries or companies involved.

So any updates on salt deposits? Or are salt deposits so common that it doesn't matter where you find them?

>>22126771
AFAIK, there are two main sources of salt, salt pans, which are found in very flat deserts, and rock salt, which are found in mountains. Salt pans are probably more valuable, as the salt can be harvested without need for mining, and replenish themselves somewhat, though that may be too slow to be useful. I think a country having large deposits of either would be notable, but most cultures have access to some expensive, low purity salt through sea salt.

>>22127364
/nasa/ is going to have to rely on old-fashined salt mining in the mountains. Desalination to extract sea salt is no longer an option.

>>22124760
makes sense, i guess we shouldn't overcomplicate things. limits suck

>>22130780
Getting salt from salt water is way easier than getting water from salt water (desalination). To do the latter you need chemistry or a desalination setup.
To do the former, you just need to put a bucket of sea water in the sun for a while.
It'll take a very long time though, it's probably no doable practically with /nasa/ cold climate.

>>22130954
Salt is going to have to be another import good then. Well at least we can throw our stuff outside in winter to preserve it below freezing I guess. Fuck the Principal.

>>22130780
I was going to suggest trade, but they really did just lose nearly anything worthwhile. Absolute worst case? They'll have to plead for humanitarian aid or start taking out loans until they get on their feet unless things turn around internally. They don't have a whole lot in terms of mining equipment available anymore if I'm understanding things correctly.

>>22131094
We need to hunt down the Principal and get the master code back. No questions asked. He is a traitor to /nasa/ and he will answer for his crimes.

Abandon technology. Have sex with squirrel people

>>22131408
Speaking of sex with Risuners, I wonder if they have a dominating genome where every child born is a Risuner. It could be similar to Gerudo in Zelda where they have sex with Hylian men but always give birth to Gerudo girls.

>>22131408
You say that to every advanced nation you meat Risuner. Not that it has anything wrong.

>>22131745
>meat
Funny typo.
t. not a /meat/anon.

>>22131605
Huh, Vitubia genetics would be interesting. The watame people have small horns, /ggg/ have shark tails. Could they have children with each other? What would the children look like?

>>22131745
we simply wish to taste foreign nuts. We are nut connoisseurs after all.
>>22131605
I would like to think so. As if their massive population boom wouldnt be funny enough

>>22131911
does chuubanite have anything to do with physiology or are we not fucking with that

>>22131911
There could also be the idea of a monosex species. Species that are one sex but are not hermaphrodites. Things like Lamias and Harpies where the species are female but can breed with just about any humanoid male.

>>22131946
I think that would be on a thread-by-thread basis. Mori-chuubanite is entirely responsible for deadbeat physiology, if you live on the island for decades you begin to become a deadbeat yourself. But the /ggg/ lore entries made it sound more like a genetic thing.

>>22131978
That would mean Risuners need a supply of non-Risuners to breed with though.

>>22132078
,':)

>>22132034
I would like to think our chuubanite is unique as risu blesses it herself to have its unique growth acceleration effect. And the risuners literally eat traces of the shit every time they eat a nut so theyre as exposed as one could possibly be.
>>22131978
Nah. Male and female risuners just to keep it simple.

>>22132078
I think Risuners have males. The reason for that is Lamias and Harpies are egg-laying species. Ass egg-laying species Lamias and Harpies can produce clones with self-fertilized eggs if they can't find a mate in time. Risuners are mammals. Therefore they'll need both male and females.

>>22132133
Well yeah Risuners have two genders. Like I explained here >>22132210 . Monosex species of monster girls are usually species that have ways of natural cloning. Whether it be from egg-laying like Lamia or branch-spawning like Alraunes. I used to research into Monster Girl physiology for another worldbuilding project.

Risuners are either exchanging our nuts with /inf/ or building boats atm. Soon we can launch exploratory fleets to meet up with other people and hopefully exchange nuts.

>>22131932
>We are nut connoisseurs after all.

(excerpt) Khroniicles of our stay on Risu XII:
Risuners have never quantified time before we arrive, they would organize depending on work, leisure time and ritual, guiding themselves by heart and habit. When we started to work on our joint venture, we tried to introduce to them the division of time and the clock, which initially they rejected. Hard was the outlook for steady progress until we found a way to make them realize how useful organizing time could be. The breakthrough was explaining that they could organize their labor and nutting time to be equal, which they began to experiment about. So far, they haven't adopted a strict regime, but they started a routine of one nutting appreciation time per hour of labor. Because of that, and the difficulty of translation between languages, instead of saying the 'hour' o'clock, they say 'hour' o'nut (...)

Another idea about demi-human species is that they're chimera species. If they breed with a human species then only the human-part of their DNA gets altered while the animal part is untouched. The animal part of their DNA can be altered when they mate with males of that species. This could be how male human and female demi-humans always have demi-human offspring and how human females and demi-human males always have human offspring.

>>22133013
I should continue this. The animal DNA of the demi-humans is probably incompatible with other demi-humans. So it would be a human parent situation for demi-humans of other species depending on the mother. A Gura* Shark boy mating with a Risuner girl will always breed a Risuner. Likewise a Risuner Boy mating with a Gura* Shark girl will always breed a Gura* shark.

*Gura Sharks are the canonical species of shark Gawr Gura belongs to as she says she's a Gura Shark on stream.

I wonder if there's anyone at /nasa/ who genuinely enjoys having no tech right now? Also have a bump.

>>22140578
welcome to the club nasa bros.

>>22142637
We've been trying to introduce more tools to you Risuners, but you keep trying to see how to use them for nutting and we're afraid to give you the advanced ones that could maim you.

>>22143508
Why not demonstrate with the tools on how they could maim you by accident. We might need to borrow someone from /meat/ to demonstrate.

>>22143508
holy shit this is nice art. also KEK.

>>22142637
The difference is Risuners live in a more temperate climate than /nasa/. /nasa/ lives in the tundra. Meaning at best we have 4 maybe 5 more months to prepare for winter. And the principal locked away air-conditioning. So we're literally scratching our heads on how to install wood heating stoves in the station without killing ourselves with smoke.

>>22144056
>this is nice art
Not really but thank you <3

>>22147565
better than anything i can make kek

>>22149538
Thank you Risuner.

>>22143508
the "nut ink" (whatever the fuck that is) has "nut ink" written in risuner cursive on it

>>22150458
Now that is good art. Can I use it? It might inspire me on writing more Risu/∞ tales.

>>22150622
Uh hell yeah you can!!!!

>>22150801
Thanks, hope I can use it soon then!

>>21998074
I'm just a /nasa/ engineer who worked in aeronautics ever since the start of my career. And you know life really isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'm actually having fun crunching numbers and trying to come up with ways to build a chimney out of mud of all things. I never thought I would have much respect for primitive materials. Now that I have to use them I'm finding a new respect on how our ancestors survived. Its not like the principal has left us with nothing. We have plenty of A rations, including baked bread. If we bust open the MREs then it would be in a week or two. We also have steel tools and replacement parts. Things would be much harder if we did not have axes, hammers, hand-cranked drills and screwdrivers, saws, ramps, and even pulleys.

I cannot say I support the Principal's actions in locking down the station for the Grand Directive. I do see his point. He wants every Sanalite to experience how hard life actually is when we're alone without technology. I can also see this as an opportunity to observe natives and see how they live to apply that to our lifestyle. I am sad that I don't have a way of sharing my findings with my colleagues instantly through message boards. I never cared much for social media. It is refreshing to get together with the lads at the camps for a nice hot beer after a hard day's work. Now that I have to interact with people face to face, I feel like we have a greater sense of community. And I fucking hate people. Instead of talking about how big our rockets are smashing Uranus, we're not talking about what we can do to work together to survive. The digital artists are working with how to make paint. The bakers are in charge of cooking the rations. The NEET kids are busy making games to occupy the kids too young to work. And Sherlotta, the office secretary, has started talking to me, the bookworm, about how we can organize the town. Sure half the Sanalites are screaming pink Wojaks about losing all of their social connections online. They're going to have to learn how to deal with real people eventually like I have. The work is labor intensive. But I have been sleeping better. Even in a space suit. Sherlotta has big plans for building our first village. I can't wait until she sees my charcoal kiln designs.

This will be my last lorepost for a while. I'm hoping to see other Sanalites stories on these times.

>>22132210
>>22132133
This is actually really interesting.

I wonder what are the possibilities of using vitubium infused flora and mushrooms to make allergy relief medicine that helps Sanalites live without spacesuits? Perhaps even using some medical advice from /meat/?

>>22156384
/meat/ would still be willing to do experiments to find a proper allergy relief medicine for /nasa/ if they would send a few over.

>>22156384
>The Principal is found somewhere in the forests of /uuu/ delirious after eating vitubium-infused hallucinogenic mushrooms to cure his sniffles

>>22156795
Remember the /meat/ priestess /nasa/ found frozen in the snow? I'm thinking she can help but she needs a "taste" of a Sanalite. Which means the Principal is going to lose an arm.

>>22156384
After some google search (there are so many questionable natural therapy sites...), it seems that the most likely candidates for allergic reaction suppression that can be found in food are:
>gingerol (suppress cytokine production), can be found in ginger (obviously), which can be grown in /meat/ and tropical/subtropical climates in general
>vitamin C (reduces blood histamine level), can be found in many food like citrus, which /meat/ already exports
Possible, but less likely candidates:
>bromelain (some reports it alleviating allergic reaction, while some others report it causing allergic reaction), can be found in pineapple (stem), which /meat/ already exports
>quercetin (reduces histamine release in vitro, can't find research on in vivo test), found in apple, which is more a temperate climate fruit
>magnesium (helps relax airway, which can lower the chance of suffocating due to allergic reaction, but probably not much else), can be found in many kinds of nuts, some of which /meat/ has

Overall, given that it's known that chuubanite (in general?) can increase the effect of psychotropic ingredients in shrooms, it's probably safe to say that the same can work for some of the ingredients above. /meat/ (and /risu/ I think?) chuubanite in particular has a high affinity to organic material, so it shouldn't be too far-fetched to say special /meat/ ginger and orange can alleviate allergic reaction. Probably not as good as taking an antihistamine injection, but at least it's much more plentiful and renewable.

>>22159484 (Me)
Also something I found while researching it:
Bromelain is a very common meat tenderiser, and it seems that it (and papain, the cheaper alternative) used to be injected into live animals before slaughter.

>>22151602
>going full /out/ is curing the virginity of /nasa/ engineers
BRAVO ALEX

bump

>>22125318
It is not an entirely unexpected development, all things considered. Me and some others have been slightly nudging the idea of a police state for a bit now, so the new conservatist leadership staging a manhunt to kill the only man that ever opposed them isn't suprising, and only a first step in that direction. That being said, i already have a story in the works to stop it in it's tracks, which will also extend nicely into >>22151602

The bigger problem, which did kinda spiral out of control imo, is the tech looters. Personally, even if the station shutdown like it did, there shouldn't be many of them, since opportunists don't really exist among us, our sense of unity should be a lot stronger than that. We have spent over a decade in a tiny spacestation in the middle of space afterall. And then endured half a year of schizo raids and cold. Idk, it just seems like this development is coming completely out of the left field, considering our history.

>>22159251
The Principal is running away from the hardliner militia. All the way into the medical sector.
Without anywhere to go, he locked himself in the morgue. No one would expect him here.
Too late.
The bangings have arrived. The militia is right behind the door.
With every thud and creaks, dents began forming on its surface.
The Principal could only huddle in the corner, awaiting his eventual arrest.
All he wanted was to retire amongst the natives. But now his fate is sealed to be executed like a lowly inmate, regardless of decades of hard work he invested for his crew.
Louder and louder the bangs grew and with a loud crash it came down.
The Principal opens his eyes.
The morgues door is still shut tight. Still being sieged down by the militias.
Then what was that-
He looked to his left.
Slipping out of the morgue. A body. A figure.
He sees the broken panel on the floor. One that came from the very section this figure slips out of.
As the figure stands up, the Principal can make up its physique beneath the dim light.
A petite female, lightly tanned skin, her limbs are well toned yet her face is smooth. Her skin appears clean and shifting. Wait, he couldve sworn her skin was moving around. Like a fleshy exoskeleton.
The figure stared at the walls around her, glancing to her left at the banging door, then to her right at the Principal.
"Uh... hello... young miss. You might be the person our scouts rescued... we're having a bit of a situation right now..." the frightened man points at the door.
With an enormous thud, the morgue's door bursts open, as the head of a battering ram makes its way in.
The newly awoken female stepped aside from the ram. Looking back at the entrance.
With a blast from a plasma cutter, the militia finally tored down the morgue's entrance open.
One by one they marched in. Ready to fire at the Principal.
But what they haven't realised yet, is the figure in front of them. Untwirling her limbs like vines.
Before the Principal could close his eyes, a splash of crimson blood smeared across his face.

>>22164660
Fuck, i was too late. Guess we are going with the bloody route.

>>22163669
As a third party observer, the looters felt completely out of left field, almost like sour grapes coming though

>the /meat/ priestess /nasa/ rescued is back
Oh fuck what a twist! Wait, is her party of adventurers and the Kronii admiral nearby?

>>22164973
They found her for dead in the snow, so I would guess that's a no, not sure it's even the same one.

>>22164660
Ah, /meat/ vine magic, always comes in clutch when you need it.

>>22164988
Well, it's not necessarily mutually exclusive; she could have been separated from the party later and got frozen when venturing further north.

>>22165122
Oh yeah, as I said I'm not sure, she very well could be. Just no confirmation afaik.

>>22165145
Yeah, it's ambiguous enough to go either way. I'll archive them separately just in case.

>>22164988
Logically it is the same one.
/meat/ is thousands of kilometres from /nasa/. You wont find an aztec, brown skinned, woman suddenly buried in Lappland, Scandinavia without a reason.
The kronii admiral and his crew was heading north to meet the Sanalites. Last we saw them was in /who/ territory.
Something might had happened when they entered /nasa/ territory

>>22165210
Oh, I totally forgot that they were specifically going to meet /nasa/, you're totally right, this narrows it down.

>>22165210
Schizo troll attack!
My money's on the party getting attacked by schizos before she got lost and unconscious

>random pieces of ideas suddenly makes a coherent story
I love this place

So what are the odds the Admiral's adventurer party is right outside the locked station right about now?

>>22165461
You can say they're really given the cold shoulder

>Travels halfway across the world on a mission to meet the spacemen
>Theyre having a civil war
The Kronie Admiral sighs as he drinks a jar of Kronii Milk.

nearing bump limit, new bread doko?

>>22163669
I mean, these situations are excellent opportunities for rumors and misinformation to spread, and I wouldn't be surprised if the general was trying to make the lockdown seem as bad as possible to pin it all on the principal. Now that news has to be spread by word of mouth with no digital paper trails to be found, who knows what's true and what's been exaggerated or fabricated wholesale?
>>22164660

As the harsh boreal winds brush against his face, the man could only ignore the stinging sensation as frost begins to grow on his heavy moustache. Jovial scans the plains for any signs of movements, be it the slightest as the grass swaying by the winds. There! North-west! A shape moving amongst the rocks!
"Xohildr! Is that you!" he shouted. A minute passes, and not a reply. The shape struts forward. A boreal goat. Merely a local wildlife, curious to see the being that called to it.
"Damnit!" he sighed. Stomping his foot down, venting pent up frustration.
It was a week since his party of adventurers suffered their loss. Yet he cannot let it go easily.

Their mission was simple enough. The Capital of the Holy Life Generalgouvernement had assigned them to investigate a mysterious anomaly somewhere in the Far Northwest of the Holo Continent. Locals mentioned a huge hamlet sized Citadel crashing down to the surface, inhabited by men in steel suits, glass helmets, and aided by pastry wolves. The rumours were intriguing. Not far-fetched for Admiral Jovial, Captain of the 1st Kronissiah Flotilla. He had seen his fair share of exotic anomalies in his travels. From the gladiators of Holofightz, to the golems of RBC. His experience in these situations made him the likely candidate to go on this mission.

His crew consisted of multiple Vtubium enhanced individuals from regions close to his homeland. A wizard from the Phoenix Kaiserreich, A markswoman from the Vispo Stratocracy, and a priestess from Matiyotl. Quite a bizarre composition of adventurers but he made it through multiple battles with them. As he and his crew arrived in the Republique Owl, his intuitions were right. The locals have made contact with the bizarre visitors that landed in the North.

According to the Hoomans, the visitors were famished of resources. Their home, the steel Citadel as they called it, crashed with all its advanced functionalities broken. As part of setting up a base, the men of the Ctiadel helped built a local bakery. In hopes of improving diplomacy and gathering manpower and resources. Not quite the strategy Jovial would've thought of yet it worked. The Citadel was able to be brought up, out off its crater, and landed on the tundral plains perfectly as intended. Not long after, they sent out diplomats to the Capital in hopes of getting more help.

However, they had fall silent since. Upon visiting the bakery, it is currently being run by one of the pastry wolves, or bread dogs as the locals called them. When Jovial asked the quadruple gluten canine on the situation of its masters, the bread dog merely whimpered in sadness.

Without any proper leads, the party stocked up on supplies and headed North.
Luckily for them, it is not winter. Even in the middle of the taiga and tundral plains, there were barely any snow and the air is bareable.
Unluckily for them, it is hunting season for the schizotrolls.

It took a day's worth of travel into the far North when the party was ambushed by a horde of schizotrolls. They growled and howled, they snarled and barked, and the tongue they spoke in brought stinging pain into the hearts of every crew member. The schizotrolls attacked Jovial and his party, screaming deranged nonsense in an eldritch tongue. Lenz, the Phoenix Wizard, was troubled the most. As he fought a troll, all they could say at him were "k̸̫̮͊Ḛ̶̛̻-̶̻̿K̴̀ȉ̴̩͕́ ̸̫̂͜h̴͇̬̐̾I̷͕̽I̷͉͆m̴̦̣̋i̷̺̜̓Ȩ̶́͠".
Lenz did not understand the language of the schizotrollls, but he felt the mental and spiritual attack from their words. As if they were personal.

It was among this confusion that a schizotroll tackled Xohildr, the Matiyotl priestess. Struggling, she could only scream as the trolls escape into the mountains. Faster than even Kaya could target them.

For several days the party travel, looking for their missing companion. Planning their travel in-between winds while the sun is up to evade any schizotrolls along the way. Jovial looked up into the hills. Thin layers of snow, grass, rocks, and several goats and oxens. Not a sign of Xohildr. Jovial gave a signal to Kaya and Lenz. It's time to go. As they travelled further North, Kaya found marks in the snow. Adjusting and inserting a chuubanite infused lens into her goggle, she's able to see tracks in the snow. Footprints. They are not of the priestess. But they are a sign of life. The Citadel must be close.

And so it is. It only took a few hours for them to see the structure of metal and glass above the hills.
"By the Kronissiah..." the Admiral spoke in awe. "We're here!"

To his right, he saw a couple of men in suits sitting in a makeshift camp. One of them is reading an oversized tome. A copy of the Imperial Bible. The man turns his head up and looks at the Admiral. "Oi! You mates mustve been from the Capital innit?"

That was cool, is this our first instance of combat against schizos on-the-page? Fearsome opponents...

>>22173760
my idea of schizo attacks is that they are psychic and spiritual. Since each schizo are cursed with knowledge of the true nature of chuuba gods, their attacks are personal cognitohazards to the believers of their target.
Such as implanting images of roommates into a believer. While they do not understand it, they know of its importance and how personal it is.
The Sanalites are able to fend off the trolls easily because they were used to mozzies and other false believers.
So when the trolls scream at the Sanalites how 'Sana never streamed, her dog died, bla bla bla', the spacemen could only reply with 'Yeah we know'

>attacking the belief of their targets
Like the Warp and Chaos in Warhammer Fantasy and 40K?

Makes sense. Also means that individuals who have a strong faith in their chuuba/high willpower would be more resistant to them, while more fickle followers would be vulnerable.

Schizos should fight with giant fishing hooks.
