Oh dear... What happened?

>>24457306
nothing, I made it up. Im just trying to make /uuu/ seem scarier since were mostly literal flowers and dont want /who/ to invade us

>>24457442
You need to figure out your defenses for the winter. That's when most of the forest is asleep.

Do you think some Rosebutas could visit /uuu/ one day? I figure plants meeting different plants could be fun.

>>24457725
we welcome all! we cant guarantee what experience you will have in our forest
would also like to visit yall and see how our plants would do in your eco, but Im afraid saplings have SEVERE separation anxiety

Here is the third and chuuniest entry in my /morig/ priestess series.
>>24452687 This is what I was referring to, your post motivated me to make my PC finish rendering faster.
https://rentry.org/ghostling
There's a couple references in this design other than the obvious yoinking of the Berserker armor. The eye slits spell out "Four" in the /morig/ conscript, the armored toes are from Raiden in MGR, and the cloth element on the torso is inspired by nuns.

watamelon i imagine has a bunch of ancient geometrically perfect stone watamelons laying around like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_spheres_of_Costa_Rica

>>24459735
hot damn
where did you use the font i'm blind

>>24461563
kek, it's subtle.

I know I'm suppose to be writing, but I spent the day playing Animal Crossing instead. I think I need to clear my mind before going back to writing the next part.

>>24462816
take your time anon, we'll be here!

Soon

>>24465817

UUUUUUUUUU I MISS VTWBG

>>24465892
What are Sapling's opinion about /nasa/ so far? We try to make sure if we farm and develop we don't disturb the ecosystem too much.

>>24465892
IT'S DEMATERIALIZING! IS THIS NORMAL? THEY DIDN'T TRAIN ME FOR THIS.

>>24466152
So this is how /vtwbg/ dies, not with a blanket ban, but with distorteled wosermis...

>>24466270
Im too busy thinking about having sex with one plant species and exterminating the other in fire.

>>24465892

>>24466270
how do you feel?

>>24465994
Not actually a sapling, squeebing just kind of infected /morig/.
>>24466356
picrel

>>24466270
Honestly, I wouldn't mind going out in a mind-bending apocalyptic kaleidoscope hell-scape of Rosemi.

>>24465994
I still need to read more of yall's lore (the anon that writes the civil conflict does like to post a lot), but so far its been nice.
You seem to respect our borders, the grand directive is agreeable as I understand it, and your space suits and/or filtration systems will keep you all safe from our pollen/pheromones

>>24466438
beware, deadbeat

>>24466527
You can't stop me, my island is 6000 kilometers away from your dank forest. /morig/ has no anti-squeebing legislation.

>>24466726
>tfw fucking up the soundpost

Why are Saplings big crybabies
Sanalites didnt get any reception for months and they turned out normal

>>24466879
pic rel

Well, my remembrance of distorted Rosemis gave me some ideas on a new kind of drug that Rosebutas could maybe create. Do you think airborne psychedelics would be frowned upon?

>>24466879
because Fauna has never left us; weve had the least missed streams, and shes always extremely punctual
so when anything goes out of line or shes not there, we... have a hard time coping...

>>24467043
I guess hotboxing is inevitable when you live underground

>>24467043
>Looks at /uuu/, /meat/ and /morig/
Honestly, it's pretty much par for the course by now. Talk about convergent evolution.

>>24467020
bro this is a board where make things up for fictional stories, picrel was just too damn real

>>24466527
>deadbeat
yeah worry about the skeletons and not the horny squirrels building a fleet as we speak

>>24467020
We might become less schizo in the coming weeks... just you wait...

>>24467312
the squirrels were warned weeks ago

>>24467276
>>24467369
I stole it off from the clocksucker in their split a few months ago, back when I kept up with every other split

>>24467436
We will build boats
We will travel long distances
We will land on your shores
We will explore your land
We will probably go crazy
We will in 2 years after declare war on you and burn all your shit to the ground
We will make WARanon proud

>>24466479
There is a limit to the air filters. Air filters will get over saturated. With the amount of pollen in /uuu/'s forbidden woods the filters wouldn't last a day. So oxygen tanks would be required if we accidentally find our way in the forbidden woods. All we ask is for a sapling to guide us through the forest so we don't get lost. /nasa/ will honor your sacred grounds. We will not trespass where we are forbidden.

>>24467517
>the clocksucker in their split
I see you're the enemy.

>>24467531
you cant fool me, hooman wearing a squirrel tail buttplug!

>>24467650
don't involve us in your stuffs

>>24467582
guides have been discussed and mostly agreed upon; we lack logistics on our end, but it is something we are willing to provide

>>24467517
Man, that reminds me. Honestly I like Kronies in this thread just fine, but I'm way too scared to investigate that split of theirs. I feel like I'll walk out missing my clothes, my wallet, and something else that's valuable.

>>24467835
the bacon...

>>24467835
You're right about that, it's gayer than /nasfaqg/, hornier than /horni/, more schizo than /schizo/, more needy than /uuu/. It's a terrifying place. Their only saving grace is that they don't antipost much compared to other splits.

>>24467835
We're a welcoming bunch! Feel free to visit us! We had a rosebud frequent our split a few months ago. But we're currently in a schizo timeloop so maybe another time...

>>24467531
Good thing /nasa/ has the defenses we have. Fireproof and bullet proof escape pods will be used as bunkers. Our pistols and rifles are railguns that can pierce steel armor. We even have some concussive bombs and missiles for artillery. Our melee weapons have electricity coursing through them that can kill or paralyze with a touch. We have cameras everywhere so it'd be impossible to invade us by surprise. Despite our lack of numbers our defenses are solid. Declaring war on /nasa/ will be a grave mistake. There's a reason why hoomans haven't started war with /nasa/ yet.

Also be thankful /nasa/ serves as a wall between Holocontinent and the Schizo Wastes. Besides, Risuners could probably win a war by sending prostitutes instead.

>>24467835
it's fucking dogshit honestly, they get raided daily by what I think is council schizo, add to that a bunch of their own self-made schizos and their namefag problem, they basically speedran the /vg/ experience but somehow worse

I kind of want to have intimate sex with roseanon

interesting thread you got here

>>24468049
Who is council schizo? First time I've heard about him.

>>24468042
>There's a reason why hoomans haven't started war with /nasa/ yet.
I mean, it's mainly diplomatic and economic reasons, along with weather, there's no real point in trying to war for things that we can get diplomatically (like tech and trade deals), even if you are somewhat unwilling to commit.

>>24468183
you know marine schizo? the same guy. falseflags a bunch, antiposts a lot.

>>24468062
A sudden development, a scandal amongst the democratic halls of /vtwbg/!
>>24468169
It's a little relaxed right now, but I assure you we do talk about world building quite a bit. Check the lore doc, if you're interested.

>>24468363
im interested in building lore for /nijien/ but it seems like a gargantuan task (are we even welcome here ;;)

>>24468341
I... I don't usually leave /∞/... Does he have a repertoire that makes him identifiable?

No but shitposting aside tomorrow will be a thing. I hope you fuckers are ready.
>>24468363
Would you prefer non intimate sex?

>>24468449
Why, everyone is welcome here! Don't worry about the size of the task, this is a collaborative project. Just add your own little brick to the wall with no pressure to add anymore, and do something that interests you. You can start with the prompts at the start of the thread if you're unsure, or read other thread's lores for inspiration.

>>24468042
Huh, now I wonder what having a skeleton with significant iron content does to electrocution. Would it make it worse or not as bad?

>>24468449
We are! I'm from /rose/, now turned /OBSY/, and I've been here for quite a while now. You'll find that this is about as "unity" as it gets on this board. If you need help or advice, if you choose to take on some work, feel free to ask for some from me or any other anon.
>>24468483
I'm fine either way, I just wanted to say scandal because I think it's a funny word.

>>24468455
Yeah, fucker will copy some anti narrative from wherever and proceed to post in cooldown for however long he's having a fit, eventually he'll switch into trying to bait reactions by setting himself up for his own shitty bait, if it doesn't work then he samefags to hell, you can probably recognize that happening in your schizo hell quite a few times, right? Althought the fact that your namefags also have a tendency to be schizos muddles shit.

>>24468449
Do you like all of NijiEN? Or is there one you gravitate towards? Personally as a risuner i only watch rosemi do idk much about the others.

>>24468449
Everyone is always welcomed! As for the lore, don't feel pressured to read all of them before writing (maybe only the bits about the premise of this world). You can always just write about the part of lore that interest you, and if you have any question, you can ask here and let us point you to the right entry.

>>24468726
Oh so the one that seems to be stuck in October-November? I think I've seen him around, yeah. But honestly most of the schizos talk about the same topics so they all blur a bit.

>>24468259
I'd love to commit with compromise. However /nasa/ has decided the Grand Directive is absolute law and cannot be disobeyed. And it looks like the Principal who's been pushing for these deals has just been successfully arrested and detained. He is at mercy of the council now. There's some shit I have to clean up before the deals can be made unfortunately.

>>24468623
The bones would conduct electricity. Since its iron the bones could get really hot. Also whatever touches the bones will get zapped, including organs and nerves. That's my guess.

Can someone give me a quick rundown on chuubanite?

>>24469532
rock takes energy and expells it
how? magic

>>24469532
No... No we can't...

>>24469621
I heard people toying with the idea that chuubas' streams replenish the energy. Did that make it in or was it axed?

>>24469532
In the words of a Risuner, probably, "Pretty gem makes things work."

>>24468869
i like all of them but i tend to watch the males and enna more
>>24468681
what's the tech situation of /rose/ and the other niji threads?

>>24469754
Energy is replenished by giving the rock more energy directly
how? magic

>>24469754
Honestly, I just have some reasonable amount of energy come out of the chuubanite and I hope no one gets angry.

>>24469811
And where does the energy come from? The planet's core? It just replenishes over time?

>>24469915
What is chuubanite usually used for?

>>24469922
Energy = temperature, fire, electricity, other molecules.
basically, not just energy but mass too.
rock takes energy from natural source and naturally radiates it
how? magic

>>24469795
All tech is currently placed in the... 1850s-1870s, I believe? Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
/rose/ or /OBSY/, I'm eventually going to just use /OBSY/ but I'm using both for now, is at the same level as most. As an underground society they are more advanced in excavation and drilling, however. Also, some circles frequent the use of firearms. Far simpler firearms like old black powder (I think) pistols, mind you.

>>24469989
Some applications:
Power the /kfp/ flamethrowers
Accelerate /meat/ injury regeneration and /uuu/ and /risu/ plant growth
Toughen /morig/ skeleton and tissues
Emit light (/rose/stone among others)
Heat up rocket propellant for /nasa/
This is a non-exhaustive list.

>>24470012
So people have to actively feed the rocks?

>>24470242
This is actually a bit of a controversial point, some anons see the chuubanite as a unilateral source of energy rather than a battery.
Personally I don't care, I just want everyone to get along.

Basically pic related

>>24470216
Its floating history. Some places have advanced tech in one way but lacks tech in others. /meat/ for example has pretty good medical science for the time almost developing germ theory, but they're a very ritualistic theocracy with human sacrifice. /nasa/ is deep space age, but our factories got nuked in space. So we're having to rely on 1780s tech to rebuild our infrastructure to be able to build machines needed to build space station parts. Also /nasa/ has only 5000 people of which 3000 are strong. So we lack the numbers to specialize in assembly line factory production. Even our robots got fucked in the crash.

>>24470328
Ah I see. So I'm guessing each thread just has chuubanite do whatever suits their needs without going too over the top?

>>24470443
Your robots got fucked in the crash, and then you fucked robots after the crash, how ironic.

>>24470216
1700's, at least it was supposed to be. the more advance nations are actually on napoleonic stuffs (/who/) mid 1800's (/infinity/), /morig/ would be about mid 18th century.
Exceptions are space farers that fucked up their infrastructure at arrival (/nasa/, /pagi/, /moon/)
>>24470242
yeah, something like that.

>>24467978
That's my thread all right. It's an acquired taste or, as other would say, Stockholm's syndrome.

>>24470481
basically whatever matches your thread theme. like how Risu is a squirrel from magical forest so forest shit and how meat is....well meat so stuff with their body. Preferably it would have to fit a theme. I have no damn clue how to do it with NijiEN since you have like what? 20 people in there or something? Again i only watch rosemi from niji. thanks to roseanon

>>24470443
>>24470534
Right, thank you very much for the assistance boys.
>>24470560
It's not bad so far. They're, dare I say, sort of cute? It's a strangely affectionate atmosphere.

>>24470560
Hey! /∞/ is not that bad! We have fun a lot of the time!

>>24470216
would you say /nijien/ is more apt as a federation (with a few uprisings here and there) or a bunch of small communities that just so happened to be in the same territory ?

>>24470481
Something like that. In general, if you can do what you want to do with a transfer of thermal, electromagnetic, or kinetic energy it's probably kosher. This might sound restrictive, but basically everything the threads are currently doing fits that bill, so if you're creative, this isn't much of a limitation at all. Whatever you want to do you, can bring it up here and we can brainstorm an explanation for it.

>>24470837
keep in mind /nijiEN/ is also one of the biggest generals in the entire board too

>>24470698
>It's a strangely affectionate atmosphere.
I agree with that, outside of the daily melty hours, it's comfy.
>>24470704
It's when people ignore bait. Although, I love when the oddloop webm get posted, makes the melts worth.

>>24470837
NijiEn in my opinion sounds like a place that acts similar to the US before they became the US, a bunch of states working together. Like how /HAHA/ is a thread then you have /OBSY/ where they would be less prevalent and with NijiEN there would be a small pocket of them. At least thats how I think it would work. IDK I just go BRRRRRR magic trees and pretty gems

>>24470837
From my experiences in /NijiEN/, I would say just go ahead and make it a hedonist's paradise of endless orgies.
Jokes aside, a federation would fit just fine. The states would probably butt heads quite a bit on a lot of topics, making it feel like a pretty unstable atmosphere most of the time. Rarely, a lull could fall over /NijiEN/ where most can get along perfectly peacefully.

>>24470653
Oh I'm a different anon. A kronie who's seeing what's changed after the roughly 2 month absence. April was a disaster for us. Might try to regroup and make new lore. Maybe. No guarantees. I'm hoping for the best but we might not survive the upcoming moving arc.

>>24471079
>endless orgies
So theyre risuners without tails.

>>24471086
In my experience, times of awful threads are the best times to get involved in /vtwbg/, /vtwbg/ was basically the reason I kept /vt/ open while /morig/ was unusable a couple weeks back.

That part of the /vtwbg/ globe is pretty horny in general, with kronies, risuners, nijien, ahoy...

>>24471161
Worse, because Risuners still have a semblance of standards. Perhaps paradise was the wrong word, hell might fit better. A hedonistic hell of endless orgies, willing or not. Pentomos stolen in the night by Pomudachis, Ikesisters putting the assault in sexual assault by killing those they come across, Familliears causing mass kissing plagues, things like that.
But a nation like that would be rather chaotic, if it was all visible. If these things happened in the cover of night, however, it might make sense.

>>24470921
>>24471007
>>24471079
thanks! will post the output here (when i can;;) will probably include a failed secession of /rias/

>>24471442
Good luck! We'll be happy to see your work whenever you decide to post it. I'm honestly simply ecstatic to see someone else from the Nijisanji area.

Alright everyone i'm going to go Have passionate mating sex with roseanon go to sleep now. Goodnight everyone and welcome NijiEN rep. Hope you enjoy your stay.

Theres a lot more if you wanna check it out. Not just us of course a lot of people fleshed out their lore really well.

>>24471235
It wasn't even that the thread was unusable... I always have /∞/ open at all times when I'm awake and the only time I didn't have it open this year was for a single day in February when things got really really bad... the problem was that I was mentally unstable because I missed Kronii so much... and although Kronii says otherwise, she might still go missing during the moving arc... I'm afraid...

I'm glad we never had the Hololive-Nijisanji World War.

>>24471762
>yet

>>24471653
Ah I see, the Kronie problem is that the Kronies stop working, not that the thread stops working... Well, I can see how that would interfere with the worldbuilding. I fear I have no advice other than growing a stronger skeleton.

>>24471797
My theory is that we, kronies, aren't that bad individually and outside our split, but you put us all together in that island and the schizo bloodline start acting up.

>>24470242
I don't think it has ever been depicted to be fed by people - it either has its energy packed in by default, or they absorb it from the environment in some way.

>>24472008
This matches up with my anecdotal experience with yall. Like all your takeshi energy enters in a resonance.

>>24472089
Can the rocks be force fed? Might be interesting. Although from what I understand there's absolutely no reason to do it.

>>24472008
It might be that the menhera kronies who can't live without Kronii even for a day gathered to /∞/ and became regulars there. Since that's the case for me.

>>24472287
the rock absorbs from the enviroment, so you'd have to put the rock in such an enviroment as to allow it to absorb the desired energy or force or material. So if you want the rock to absorb heat, you'd put it over a fire, and if you want the rock to conserve the heat, you'd put it in a box or something.
You'd have to expel the previous energy for the rock to get space for new energy. Presumably, the size of the rock could influence this
How does it do it? magic.

Luknight here:

I'm sorry we've been AWOL the last few weeks, but I got caught up in my finals (for my Himeology Master's), but I'm ready to write more lore, nanora.

Any requests for expedition fiction or Luknight lore details?

>>24472431
There are many facets to /∞/. It can be horny, schizo, unity, hlgg2, erp/groom central, and in a forgotten time, fanfic central. All depends on which side of the bed our most unstable regulars woke up. If/When loring starts again, we have several things to base our society off.

>>24472287
No one has tried that yet, so maybe? Probably a bridge we cross when we get there

>>24472613
None so far as long as I can tell (don't know whose turn is it for the /risu/ one), and good luck with your study!
I don't know if we asked about that before, but did Luknight has an opinion on /meat/?

>>24472613
Have Lunaitos ever had conflicts with large schizo incursions?

>>24472814
Yeah if I start writing some lore, I want to incorporate that diversity somehow. We have different factions, different types of posters, and anons with different oshis that just decided to stay in our split. I might try writing lore of small details for small groups in /∞/ since trying to come to a consensus for huge overarching lore is a huge pain in the neck that I don't want to deal with too much.

>>24472881
i think it was their turn. they reached pasuma but got denied into the risu temple

>>24473205
Go for it. You might reignite my (and other kronies') mapping spirit dormant in this old bones.

So I wrote the next part for /nasa/. Sadly it ended in an arrest. Now I just have to figure out to write a political hearing.

>>24473446
Just copy Watergate, that always works well.

>>24457074
>haven't posted /here/ in months
>one of my prompts is still in this post
i never even answered it properly for my own represented nation. kinda wish i could develop the creative spark to begin fleshing it out again, but my other half-finished writing projects are black-holing my free time

>>24472881
Luknights are somewhat scared of /meat/izens, as like most of the life coming from Candy Kingdom, Luman flesh is sweet, sweeter tasting than all intelligent life. I'm not sure how many Luknights would ever defect to /meat/, due to the aforementioned concern to become prey and also fierce loyalty to Luna. The only reason I could think is the creation of forbidden treats, but Himesama would never indulge in such things.

>>24472885
In the summer, Luknights much sometimes fend off ramshackle schizo boats from the northern sea. There are also a few schizo raiders that rarely sneak in from the Haachama border to the west. Between these and the ongoing cold war with the Matsurisus, the northwest borders are fairly militarized. We also, as a diplomatic gesture, send squads to aid the Robosa in fending off schizos from the wasteland, but this is simply a gesture of goodwill, as the Robosa can mostly handle themselves.

>>24475179
>>24455842
I'm forgetful and sleepy nanora. New log for the /risu/ adventure will be a bit less than 24 hours from now, going over the tour of Pasuma and temples.

How are the ruins of the Orange Empire this time of year? Too many tourists or dead enough for my family to take a day trip

>>24475179
>Luman flesh is sweet, sweeter tasting than all intelligent life.

>>24469532
the rock is nuclear physics, the magic is quantum mechanics

>>24469532
no

>>24475315
The on near the North Pole? It's populated by Ksonites these days. Seems like a nice place, really.

>>24471405
>Ikesisters putting the assault in sexual assault by killing those they come across
sounds fun
t. /meat/head.

>>24476388
i just like the idea of him threatening us with a knife. (we already had a camping stream were he set us on fire. it was pretty neat)

>>24476876
so it's not as extreme as /meat/ standards, i take it. i mean, knife play is pretty basic, even when there's blood, right?

>>24477482
nope sorry! ^^ (also theres a couple of us who want to peg him or get raped by him or rape him so you know, it's really varied)

>>24455749
the interactive map is still valid right?

>>24477901
mapanon comes by and updates it every once in a while

>>24477956
ok is the niji region still the same tho?

One anon said that /NijiID/ is now /warkop/, but this is incorrect. /warkop/ is a general for Indonesian VTuber and it's not a "replacement" for NijiID thread. We do have NijiID refugees, but some anons in /warkop/ (mostly HoloID fans) are hostile to them. You are welcome to ask me about /warkop/
t. /warkop/'s OP

>>24479013
so what you're saying is that holoid and all other id factions invaded nijiid and are now treating them as second class citizens.

>>24479202
it feels more like theyre refugees and not welcome to new land no?

>>24479202
>>24479327
I guess the important question is, why did nijiID stop existing in the first place?

>>24479327
but it was their land before, right? /nijiid/ is now /warkop/, you said it yourself. otherwise, you'd just say that /nijiid/ died at the same time /warkop/ was born and then they forced themselves into it because they had nowhere else to go. did other id groups that weren't niji start popping up more and more on the niji threads until people just said "fuck it" this is an id thread" and gave the next thread a different name?

>>24479202
>>24479202
NijiID merged to Nijisanji, NijiID thread is gone (no one started it probably), NijiID posters fucked off to other threads. Meanwhile, /warkop/ is conceived in two threads: a "why NijiID flopped" thread and a Mythia hate thread. Mythia is the purple vampire above, she's the biggest ID indie VTuber. Before /warkop/, the thread's name was /ltg/ or "Lambe Turah General" (Lambe Turah is a big Indonesian gossip account on Instagram) before we changed it into /warkop/ or Warung Kopi (coffee shop in Indonesian). Anyways, NijiID and HoloID posters can't get along in /warkop/. Are NijiID posters second-class citizens? Hard to say for now.
>>24479327
They are welcome, but some hated them.

>>24479727
who is the instigator? niji or holo? them bickering at each other and being petty is fairly normal, but >>24479013 made it seem like nijiid was invaded and oppressed.

>>24479727
Hmm so a translation into Vitubia might be something like.
>NijiID government loses its sovereignty with regards to the greater Nijisanji federation, and an attempt is made to put all of NijiID under /2434/ control
>The NijiID country goes through civil unrest as parts of the population become refugees in the rest of the Nijisphere while a political faction not aligned with nijisanji gains power in the land (/warkop/)
>The new somewhat stable configuration is a country ruled by the /warkop/ faction but with a lot of tension between people who are still attached to the Nijisphere and those who aren't
Something like that? I guess with this narrative, /ltg/ would have been a minor territory and faction that already existed within NijiID.

>>24479899
>who's the instigator?
Both of them.
>nijiid was invaded and oppressed
More like their place just implodes.
>>24480047
You summed it perfectly. Due to /warkop/ being an Indonesian general, it's a diverse place. We got 90+ posters last thread. It's a biweekly (as in twice a week) thread, by the way.

>>24480159
>Both of them.
so it's the typical bickering. those faggots are always at each other's throats, it's so tedious.

>>24480159
>You summed it perfectly.
Nice, this is kind of fun. This is reminiscent of Turkey trying to stamp down the Kurds during the war against ISIS but then Rojava rises out of the chaos and now they have to deal with them instead.

>>24477901
>>24480047
>>24455842
So it sounds like we're good to go on /warkop/ taking over /nijiid/'s land then. I've gone ahead and pushed the requested changes to the map, so it should be fully up to date now.

Hello here's the first draft of the lore for /nijien/. It's really barebones ;; Please feel free to add on
https://rentry.org/hsw3e

Notes:
-I dont know if 20 is the best way to go since there are already splits
-I'm still working on the secession but idk how to translate that into nation building. Roseanon can you help me out?

>>24467978
Has my beloved /nasfaqg/ fallen so low that we are now used as a comparison standard for homosexuality?

>>24475179
Y'know, with climate anon's overview of the northern summer sea I wonder how the schizos are going to fair with harsh winters and muddy wetlands.

>>24469989
/nasfaqg/ uses it in coinage!

>>24470481
Go read the chuubanite rentry in the lore doc

>>24484432
It's fine, it looks pretty good so far, actually.
If you want more information about the schizos, we wrote something about them a while ago if you're interested: https://rentry.org/5cz4q

>>24485713
Since the schizo wasteland is pretty much all ice cap, I don't think the harsh winters are going to bother them much. The muddy wetland, however, might be problematic for them (or most people, really). In fact, the schizos might feel more comfortable raiding during the long winters, especially under the cover of month-long nights. The ground is somewhat more traversable, the coldness is like home to them, and the weather makes outdoor activities like patrols and combat more difficult for the Luknights (relatively speaking).

How does the timeline map out to real world events? Around what year would spring 2021 be in-universe?

>>24486334 (me)
found a good enough approximate >>23609052

bump

update: added a bit on the /nijien/ lore proposal

>>24485913
thank you! ;;

HELLO GENTLEMEN! TIME TO BUILD A FUCKLOAD OF BOATS, EAT NUTS, AND HAVE SEX WITH PLANTS

>>24493139
Oh to live like a risuner

my 2view oshi is currently live and im gonna play some vrchat with her but after that ill join you lot

>>24484432
>https://rentry.org/hsw3e
Additional lore:
I was thinking of having the nation be split mainly into two (kinda like the north and south parts of the US where the south states have a more shared culture), the East and West. (This is based on the interactive map, where the assumption is that /nijien/ has a very wide coast on the east where the migrants could arrive in and /2434/ and other niji threads are on the west).

>>24494945
>orgies in the streets
guess risuners finally found a home away from home

sounds like a fun place overall

>>24494945
Looks good to me anon. Culturally, does /nijiEn/ resemble any IRL societies?

>>24494945
So a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah?

>>24497381
culturally? it kind of resembles the us in that it's a melting pot of different cultures, we have a lot of people who came from different fandoms (kpop, fujo, music) people who arent from /here/ basically, there are people from /hlgg/, niji purists etc.. It's like a melting pot of different fan cultures.

>>24497674
>>24497403
I mean....

Well. I have things for people

Yo /nasa/ remind me of that black market trader so i can do the story on it. Wasn't there someone chasing him?

Hey inf reps. If any of you are left tell us are you still gonna use your /risu/ cities or should we say they get abandoned?

Hey roseanon. Are you ok with me writing a story about us going into your cave networks and exploring down there? Ill leave out the big important characters since ill assume you want to do that. Also would any rosebuds want to come back to /risu/? Also dragons when? kek. Btw last night was amazing ;)

Hey luknights? TLDR if you didnt catch it yet
>Plumdrop went to pasuma
>No temple of Risu for him
>Visits a bunch of other cool religious places
>Cockblocks horny risuners with big armor and no pretty gems for us :(

Hey WARanon. You might get your wish soon if the risuner expedition goes wrong. We would burn /uuu/ to the ground.

Hey meatheads. Ill get to you lot soon but i want to do the black market thing for stainless steel tools since our priority is BUILDING A FUCKLOAD OF BOATS right now.

And to NijiEN rep. Welcome once again. I cant wait to see whatever the fuck you all come up with.

>>24498811
>https://rentry.org/hsw3e
got the bare bones of the draft here ^^ (still waiting on roseanon to correct some stuff tho )

>>24499220
>still waiting on roseanon to correct some stuff tho
God damn roseanon is a gigachad. Anyway if you dont have a lot to go off of in terms of thread you could go off of character lore. Its what I had to do since Risu is pretty slow but you should have much content to work with IMO. Best of luck there Nijibro.

>>24498811
>Hey inf reps. If any of you are left tell us are you still gonna use your /risu/ cities or should we say they get abandoned?
I guess I'm the one left in that position, so...

In my opinion, they were always your cities, we just made them together. Remember, when you came to /vtwbg/ the protectorate was retconned, we might have put the workforce to make the cities and roads, but it's your territory. If you want a middle ground, if we come back /here/ someday –there's interest it seems!–, you manage the city, we manage the ports (and roads). And we have kronies living between you by now, probably a generation of mixed risuner/kronies born too.

I guess eventually all will belong to /risu/, as it would happens in real life. Lets assume we're on a timed contract (for at least a hundred years, it was a big investment) for exploitation of the port and road. It wouldn't make sense /∞/ 'owning' part of /Risu/.

>>24500325
Makes sense. Just gonna assume that risuner tourism on your end is declining after exploring the area and kronies in world are doing their own things while maintaining relations. Risuners are just using ports right now for BOATS anyway.

Ok so while i wait for nasa people to get back to me ill be re watching risu stream to get the exact size of the pinisi. And if i cant for some reason ill just assume that /risu/ pinisi is a pinisi sail rig and lambo yacht hull rig 40m long specifically designed not as a luxury yacht like it is IRL but as a unique shaped long range exploratory ship.

>>24499633
it has a lot ;; I'm thinking of doing something about the difference of anons and general ambiance of the thread from burger to aussie to sea hours. (maybe placement of states? which could work since most of the girl's fans in the thread are burgers) idk yet. lol

and then there's the failed secession but idk how to translate it in history arghhhh

>>24500526
I'd ask for a tourist story in our land but our lore is barely put together to make anything interesting. Maybe in the future.

If /∞/ has any leverage in /risu/ I'd say that we could have a deal that while you are getting you army up to modern times (for vtwbg standarts) we are defending your coast for invaders, as you're in quite a good geopolitical place and becoming a trade capital, your territory is a big bounty for some other countries while you are in technological disadvantage. In exchange, we have a priority trade deal and a joint effort to protect the east side of the globe, with the desire to include in it /mep/ and /anya-petra/ in the future. Our nation acting together –not necessarily acting in block, just a deal of mutual protection interest– would discourage attacks from warmonger nations.

>>24501294
Clock people are definitely what got risu so interested in the outside world. The only reason why I didn't do a captain log story of visiting there originally was because so many of you were here already I felt like I didn't need to. But that actually sounds like a logical idea now given the decline of kronies with them going back to their land and risuners just being curious in general. Not to mention the distance is extremely manageable. It will come in time I can say. I believe the original idea was to have /inf/ be based of kronies frostpunk streams where because people work themselves to death that they are a powerhouse of technological achievement. Knowing stress of work + /inf/ horniness risuners would be far more than welcome knowing they love to exchange nuts just as much as your people.

>>24498811
Black Market guy is being chased by armored bread dog, yes. Better get your tools soon.

>>24502092
I intent to expand a little about /∞/ with my story now that is going to there, but I'm resting a little of writing as I'm not happy how the last part came together (but I won't rewrite it, that is a trap). Maybe after that you'll have more material for writing something about it. Or if the other kronie decides to write lore too, which I hope it'll happen.

My question is how am I going to convince /nasa/'s government to compromise on the directive? I think the station council wants all control over Lamington Station's systems, information, and technology. The people of /nasa/ had a taste of what its like to live without /nasa/'s systems ruling everything they do. I guess it depends on if most of /nasa/ are domesticated and can't live without being told what to do. Thoughts?

>>24502256
Only thing I would like elaboration on is if the dog is alone or has other people accompanying it. Other than that I'll have all i need.

IN OTHER NEWS I HAVE DETERMINED MEASUREMENTS. The /risu/ pinisi since they are pased off the pinisi in minecraft are 40. long, 17m wide (curved so this is at its widest), and From the bottom of the ship to the main floor is 10m. Bottom to top of the castle thing at the back is 18m, and height from the bottom all the way to the top of the highest sail is 53m. These measurements may be a bit off but oh well close enough.

Pinisi measurements
17m wide
40m long
53m high (from bottom of hull to top of sail)

>>24503287
In usual, people don't like to relinquish newly gained freedoms. I think the most important factor is the power differential, does the council have the military might to enforce their will? If not I think they'd have to make some concessions.

>>24503709
If council wants to they have the right to take over the executive systems at any time, both computer and military. The only thing that's keeping council from doing that is the Senate. The Senate has to willingly give up their powers to council. Alternatively the Senate has the power to declare a new home world and overthrow the council if they reach a unanimous vote. It really depends on how many senators are in bed with the council's new order.

>>24503569
Considering how far the guy ran so far, it would be safe to assume that the unit behind him is purely composed of D0G-GO units. Honestly suprised they haven't caught him yet.
Also a small tip if a confrontation with them happens: Dont. Just don't. Breaddogs are harmless when outside, but they do have kill protocols enabled when wearing the suit, and you are esentially dealing with a sabertooth tiger sized mechanical canine.

>>24504008
Still have to design mechsuit for bread dogs.

>>24484432
>>24498811
Apologies folks, I was rather caught up in work this morning. I hadn't realized my services were requested, otherwise I would have been here earlier.
I'm happy to help you out, NijiEN rep (if anyone thinks of a more clever nickname let me know, I was considering Nijisis as one). I can see you've expanded on it, which is good. If you need something my advice on anything specific feel free to let me know. I'd say you have the main idea down, so excellent work there. If you're looking for a reason to structure the two main moods of the thread you could always go for a sort of dual society. Perhaps the calmer half of the country is nocturnal, while the more energetic half is diurnal. The failed split could be regarded as a migration that ended in failure, perhaps the retreating group couldn't survive on their own in the outside world and some either perished or returned to /NijiEN/ in shame.
And for the Risuners, I'm more than happy to let you write a piece on exploring the caves. A couple things to note, about that in particular. First, the "caves" will look far different than anything any Risuner has seen beforehand. The vast tunnel system is, likely by a Risuner's eyes, impossibly smooth to the eye and touch. These tunnels are very large, around 15ft/4.5m in diameter. The ground is flat, but there are railroad tracks in the center, so it's safest to walk on the sides of the tunnel usually. Since the Rosebutas would likely be guiding you in, it would be a simple straight shot to the capital. One long, long walk through the empty tunnel straight towards the capital. The capital is basically just a very fancy giant underground castle with lots of flora, at least that's all you'd really see normally. Oh, do keep in mind these tunnels are VERY bare, no decoration just the cold stone and tracks. Not even a constant light source, the best you'll get is a small Rosestone lamp every fifteen minutes or so of walking.
Now normally, you'd visit the capital, meet the Council, introduce yourselves, stick around for a day or so, then be promptly kicked out. Expect constant surveillance from large Boars. However, a Risuner might be able to sneak out if they're clever enough. I'd say about seven Sunwalkers would be willing to go to /risu/.
Also dragon DEEZ NUTS. Soon.

>>24504484
BAM! Here, done, courtesy of uncle Google.

>>24504667
That's not a bread box.

>>24504934
they should be complicated toasters instead

>>24504992
I'm not saying they aren't.

>>24504635
hello roseanon! yeah I dont really know much about pre-luxiem /nijien/ so I might have to rely on you on that.

re: secession
been in the rias thread when it was still alive and while it was initially made by our resident /LOE/-schizo, the mytakes actually like it there (mostly because we were getting gore and cheese pizza in the main thread) and was later let back in when mysta recovered from his menhera episode.

>/uuu/ does something
>GW announces new dryad expansion
>https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/05/16/cultivate-dryads-and-protect-allies-with-the-lady-of-vines-the-embodiment-of-natures-wrath/
Hhhmmmm....

>>24504635
ah! I almost forgot about ninisani!
maybe we could make that the capital?

>>24505114
I'm fine with that, I've been around since Obsydia, so I know of a thing or two that's happened. I actually forgot there was a Rias thread, I take it you're a Mystake then? Easiest way to write the thread is saying the Mysta state was quarantined (for their good or for /NijiEN/'s, I'll leave that up to you), then reintegrated after a period of time.
>>24505740
Ninisani could be the capital, yes. A sort of center, neutral zone with each state surrounding it.

>>24506139
nope ikesister/quilldren actually, I just stayed out of it and looked at the thread cause I was curious if they actually used it.

>>24506274
So my original assumption was correct, ah ha! Truly, my tensai nature is something to behold.

>>24506274
Arent Ikefans the ones writing all those cannibalfics?

>>24506488
I think that happened a couple of times but recently our writers are more interested on shota luxiem prompts. We havent been that active since he got sick and barely posted a schedule after their first off collab ;;

>>24506318
will get back to this after I watch the selen collab stream!
thank you rose anon ^^

>>24506709
I hope you enjoy the stream. I'm happy to help you out any time.

Alright doing the sana tools story now. Hopefully I have everything I need and if I miss out details I assume someone will just tell me.

>>24508018
D0G-G0!s are cute yet terrifying.

Do Risuner ladies enjoy anal?

>>24508280
I would like to know this as well. Just for my normal Risuner studies, of course.

>>24508049
>me reading their lore in the archives
>While bread dogs can bite, they bite like small dogs. They are mostly harmless plush toy anime mascots.

Kek. They may be fast but they aint gonna do shit besides act scary.
>>24508280
Why yes. At least most of them. Risuners are the most experienced in the art of exchanging nuts in many ways.

>>24508398
Thank Risu, that's the scribe kink.

>>24508398
I dunno. There's this.
>>24508842

You said the trader "ran" or had a boat. That word confused me so much I would never believe he physically ran all the way to /risu/

>>24509996
He used a boat. Running is sometimes synonymous for "fleeing" because when you flee, you run.

>>24510166
makes sense.

Hey anons, what kind of power would Selen or Elira chuubanite give you?

>>24512286
oof. Selen has dragons so something related to dragon shit? I never watch Elira so IDK. Maybe roseanon would be better at this.

>>24513856
They're the solar and lunar dragons, so I was thinking something light-related.

>>24514042
or darkness related. Maybe one can be light and one can make literal spheres of darkness or something.

>>24514247
"spheres of darkness" is kind of incoherent as a concept, unless you mean some kind of photon black hole, or one of those quantum camouflage things.

>>24514247
Oh, maybe a blindness spell? In a way it plays with both darkness and light.

>>24513856
we should probably wait for a rep to come.

>>24514042
moon shit and sun shit, the moon reflects the light from the sun, so maybe you can try to make such a tool, like that greek philosopher that made a big mirror to set fire to ships

>>24514586
The /2434/ rep was around earlier, so maybe he'll come by.

>>24455842
Its still a work in progress but here, the /nasfaqg/ general lore document! https://rentry.org/MerchantLore

>>24515416
Don't you dare spread filename chatting here, we're already plagued with gay ERP, we don't need any more /nasfaqg/ customs.
Rentry looks amazing anon, great organisational work here. I look forward to the entry about breeding.

Almost done with this nasa black market guy. Was a lot harder than I thought it would be desu.

Luknight Expedition to /risu/, Entry 4, May 18th

We have arrived within the Risuner city of Pasuma, and have spent two weeks here surveying. This seems to be the religious capital of their lands, nanora, with several statues, shrines, and even a plaza of worship, where their goddess is said to appear once a year. For the technological deficiencies these Risuners have, their plaza was resplendent in a way that makes me nearly feel shame for our inadequacies in honoring our Himesama, though I understand we are in no place to dictate a consistent reincarnation spot, nanora.

I now understand why the Risuners were once so determined to buy my prized armor opal, as I have seen older female Risuners use gemstones here to heal their fellow citizens. Lady Toffy spent the day with one of these healers, and learned there are many such unique crystals, including one that can enhance harvests, which could be of great use to the kingdom. The Risuners are not interested in trade for any of our current goods, however. Perhaps on a second trip, we may bring some of the opals unsuitable for armor to exchange.

Sir Sucre had an incident in the street. One day surveying the local markets, we heard a commotion, and saw a Risuner in a black cloak chasing after a monstrously large goose with razor-sharp teeth. Fearing for our lives, Sir Sucre unsheathed his sword and quickly beheaded the beast. The Risuners seemed relieved, but also wished the goose could have been taken alive. We later learned this beast is involved in the Risuner's form of capital punishment from our guide, Winardi. Scary to think such things exist, nanora...

Sadly, we have not been permitted to the greatest temple of the Risuners. Our next plan is to regroup with the other expedition knights at Gaputan. We have heard our allies from /towa/ make regular visits there. It should be a great time.

Loyalty to Luna, Sir Sacchrin Plumdrop III

Arrival of the mystery man and strange dogs

It all started at Silvanus. The Risuners were hard at work building pinisi like usual. They were planning a convoy fleet to go meet up at the northern part of the world where they would be able to explore /who/, /uuu/, and /nasa/.
One day a mysterious boat came into view and it wasnt like anything we ever seen. And there was some weird dressed guy on it. We had no idea what to expect so we readied potential defenses and eagerly awaited the man to land.

"Hello Risuners!" I'm going to make this very simple. I have with me steel tools that can greatly aid you in the construction of building your boats. I can see that you are already building boats so you probably would want these.

The strange man opens up his cargo and reveals a variety of tools that resemble /inf/ tools but higher quality. Risuners were overjoyed at this and promptly began to offer nuts.

"Oh im sorry risuners, I am afraid that nuts will not do. I would require gold or a gemstone if you intend to pay me"

"EH!? YOU DONT WANT TO BE PAID IN NUTS!?" "But we always use nuts as money". "And well your gonna have to wait if you really want pretty gems".
Risuners had the man relax in one of the guest lounges in silvanus. They proceeded to the towns treasure vault to trade for whatever gems they had. Since it was in decent supply, they settled on grape agate in a reasonable amount.
Upon returning to the mystery man he observed the grape agate closely. "Yes this will do. Thank you and enjoy your gifts"
As the man was about to leave he noticed something. In a massive hurry he tried to board his boat and escape. Risuners took a little while to notice but then saw what appeared to be running loafes of bread.
He really seemed to be in a massive hurry as they approached. When they got within range we noticed they were some type of metal animal with bread around them? It was kind of hard to describe. But we couldn't even begin to analyze these walking bread loafes with legs as they were chasing down this guys boat.

We really didn't see much after that but one of the scouts did notice that they doggy paddled to his boat. Oh well, we have boats to build ourselves.

>>24524087
Man, imagine not accepting nuts in trade, there's some crazy people out there. I hope this smuggler got away from the dogs, those tools will surely help /risu/ a lot.

>>24524087
risuners i am making your new script based off of arabic and mongolian galik.

i am doing what i do best and bastardizing the core concepts of the scripts i am basing this off of. first i will make it an abugida, both because i cannot come up with enough symbols and because i'm not making an abjad like arabic. why? because i'm incapable of fathoming systems outside of my narrow outsider mindset and do not wish to learn. there will be ~21 letters. i have also, in my infinite wisdom, decided it will be written from left to right. my reasoning being more grounded in reality in that i plan on writing it with my calligraphy pen and do not wish to smear the resulting puddle of ink all over my hands.

>>24528840
Calligraphy pen stuff? Kino.

>>24524087
Hopefully there's a chance you can get your PRETTY GEMS back. Also he was gay for not taking nuts.

The fun thing about stainless steel tools is that they're rust resistant. As long as you clean your tools after use stainless steel tools will last a very long time. Well at least until the teeth of the sawblades grind down.

>inb4 i realize my shitty typos
Literally put a fucking sticky note near my PC that says "SPELLCHECK MOTHERFUCKER"
>>24519253
Naisu! It seems you knights are gonna tour everywhere. Makes sense I suppose /risu/ does have a lot to offer.
>were once so determined to buy my prized armor opal
Do you really think were not still staring at that shit? Kek
I actually really liked the part about the goose. Nice touch luknight.
>plumdrop learning we throw our prisoners into a a chamber filled with these geese
Yup. Thats just how we risuners do it.

Eh. I guess he just didnt see the value. I remember a sanalite telling me that he wouldnt take nuts but i always try not to "meta" my stories so thats why risuners were in "what the fuck" mode when he showed up.

WELL SHIT! I CANT FUCKING WAIT ANON!

How I plan to organize /who/'s alphabet
Not anchored because I need feedback

I cut off the following letters
C: This one will be replaced by either K or S depending on what is needed
Q: To be replaced by K or whatever else comes closer to desired pronunciation (ex: "Kuestion" instead of "Question")
V, X, and Z: Sounds that can be simulated by other letters.

Currently the only redesigned letter is A to look as a triangle.
Still, I am waiting on feedback.

>>24536752 (me)
Damn I'm lazy.
It's basically a list of sounds that will be used for any potential conlang that might be made for /who/ in the future, althought i personally just plan on mixing English with French and Russian for the effect.

maybe i could cut off the H too, dunno.

>>24536752
The A is reminiscent of delta, so maybe drawing from the greek alphabet could help you have a consistent aesthetic?

>>24536752
lmfao, you did excatly what i do with conlangs, cut off the dumb letters. i hate C and Q and X so goddamn much

i assume you're going off of the greek alphabet? if so, i can suggest you try and write pseudo-greek based on what looks right, or maybe take the phoenician alphabet and artifically 'evolve' it through handwriting over time, trying to change the letters a little with each generation. also take into account, is the language going to be written quickly? does it have a lot of letters? if so, make it curvy and easy to be written cursively. if you use something like carving in stone, add serifs and straight lines, like i did with the /meat/ runes

>>24537138
>>24537204
I understand that the latin alphabet is followed up on from the Greek one, so that's probably why, I think I'll replace H with X for both sounds because that's what Cyrillic does. The A looks like that because i cut off the little foot things it has, but its resemblance to Delta isn't lost on me, I'll keep trying out things.

People write with pencils and pens, but the newspaper and book industries mean that printing presses have an effect on how the letters are written, so I'm also trying to achieve a slightly mechanical touch to it.

>>24537514
printing presses usually had ornate fixings due to the fact that they were printed and didn't have to be consistently replicated by hand. things like serifs, difference in line density, etc. because of how printing works i don't think there's any reason to make it look mechanical by (only) necessity, nor do i see this as an influence on how the masses write but, you can do whatever you want

Here's /nasfaqg/'s conlang script

>>24538360
you've all been at work huh? i'll update the document then

>>24538410
Is joke, anon
Im not even from nasfaqg

>>24538510
yeah i noticed it was from warhammer

>>24538360
It's just not right for /nasfaqg/ to use anything other than a hebraic-inspired script.

>>24538553
waframe* sorry i'm dumb

>>24536752
Not much comment from me. Could probably do with a couple more letters that are more Greek/Cyrillic looking though.

Republic Owl/ Respublika Filin / Republique Hibou / 共和国 ワシミミズク

Postal service:
The Republic's citizens are avid readers. But with such a large amount of literate population, and the absence of long-range, mass communication methods that can connect friends and relatives, separated by the rapid advance of industry and progress, an efficient and standardised post system is needed.
Luckily, the infrastructure in the Republic enables mail and parcels to reach from the Easternmost mining towns to the ports in the West in mere days. The Postal Department is also well funded, both by the government and the massive amount of citizens who enlist their service. Aside from selling normal stamps, the Department also prints special editions that are prized within the not insignificant collector circles within the nation.

Pigeon post: Every city & town has at least one post office that houses messenger pigeons. For rural areas, post offices in the junctions between villages would have some capacity to house and send pigeons.
Their value as battlefield messengers is of course not lost to the military. The carrier pigeons in military service are all bred and trained with the help of professionals from the Postal Department. Whether military or civilian, they all wear a small whistle to ward off birds of prey.
There are also specially bred breeds. The most famous of all is the Northern Messenger. They boast a fast training and memorisation process than regular doves. They have longer necks, wider bodies and longer feathers. There is also the noticeable outgrowth of the eye cere, and their duller color (mostly brown & light grey, almost no white). Their more developed muscle and wings allow them better endurance and slightly faster flight, but these birds are also bigger and need more movement space. As such, they are mostly only suitable to be used in conjunction with special carts for the military or from fixed locations.
Their exploits are often recorded in commercial books, the press and official histories. Though their significance is, of course, lower than the national avian of the Republic, they nevertheless have their own attire during parades and celebrations. Military pigeons usually wear a small gorget, helmet and harness during such occasions. And civilian pigeons are dressed in colorful feathers and masks.

Balloon mail: Both coal and chuubanite driven air balloons are available for the postmen of the Department. Mostly running fixed routes, they still often go where is needed too. Balloons are used for delivering urgent medium weight parcels like medicine to remote villages(mail posts in rural areas have dedicated landing pads).
Though limited by the weather, fuel and slightly slower than pigeons on average, they are still extremely flexible.
The artillery observation corps of the army has its roots in the balloon pilots of the Postal department. The corps continually draws some of its personnel from skilled balloon postmen.

Horse & carriage: The most common method and delivers the largest volume, despite the Republic's large pigeon fleet, more than half of the mail and parcels are transported by horses. Horse carriages are used to centrally distribute to various smaller posts both within cities and between villages. Stamps are also tiered, least expensive and most common stamps are transported by horse instead of pigeon or other alternative methods.
Green: Horse Blue: Pigeon Yellow: International(i.e. Ship) / Add on: Orange for mail that needs ballon transport; Red for urgent

Intra-city mailing: While there are some pigeon services within larger cities, many postboys run mail around the cities on push velocipedes. The many narrow city streets, while excellent for defending, are however not very suitable for horses or carriages. Once you leave the wide main avenues near the centre, such vehicles are needed to deliver mail in residential areas in a timely fashion. There are also pedal-driven ones but they are slowly catching on.

Messenger ravens: A lot less common and limited in number, but they are more flexible than pigeons. These smart critters can memorise more locations, and their intended destination is communicated through coloured cards by their handler. Limited to daytime and range, they are only carried by a select few offices or in the military, higher-level or command units.

>>24554634

>>24556126
Woooo fellow messenger birds enjoyers! Our birds don't wear armor though, that might be a nice idea.
Chapter 5 of the Cahya-/morig/ story "Schizo extermination 101".
https://rentry.org/cultural-exchange#chapter-5
I took some liberties regarding the powers of a schizo shaman; it's left ambiguous whether this is specifically a schizo power, or a spell particular to a certain nation. Feel free to discuss concerns over balance and such.

>>24557079 (Me)
Also, I'm the one who asked about writing fight scenes the other day; constructive criticism in that regard is welcome.

>>24557079
The armour is strictly ceremonial but idk, armored messenger birds ARE very cool.

>>24556126
Neat, I like a lot of the details you put. A powerful postal service is key to any nation.

>>24556126(me)
Screw it, rule of cool it is. Gorgets don't add that much weight and I've had the dazzler idea for more than a while now.

> ...ward off birds of prey. Due to having anti-pigeon falcons of their own, the Army is also wary of any potential adversary who processes the same tactic as well. As a result, military pigeons have an Ace up their sleeves -- Chuubanite dazzlers, which engage whenever a target approaches at high speed, temporarily blinding it and making it either retreat or miss its dive.

> Military pigeons usually wear a small ceremonial helmet aside from the usual engraved gorget and harness(used to attach the dazzler) during such occasions.

Yeah. Ill do risu morig. I know you guys want teak wood and some ironwood which is less in supply but available. I either can do it while Cahya is away or assume this is much later.

>>24560151
Oh, I'd put the trade agreement some time before the current multi-chapter Cahya story, let's say a month or something like that. So Cahya is there to help with the diplomacy.
Also I think you meant bog iron.

>>24560286
Oh yeah. I thought you wanted wood as well. But if its bog iron you want then thats fine too.

>>24560416
It's both! Nice, fast-growing risu wood, and bog iron. The Navy hungers for shipbuilding materials.

>>24560463
Ill make a note to myself to update the lore but ironwood is in certain areas. Risuners primarily use teak wood though which would be much more abundant and still is very good for boats. Its what the pinisi are made of.

>>24560631
Both teak and ironwood are great, we could trade for either depending on the supply and whichever is more available, as well as the bog iron. You'll get nice things like diamonds, gold and cashews in exchange.

>Aria always hated magic.
Umm. I dont think she knows what risuners use pretty gems for. Still was really well written.
>>24560854
I wonder what risuners would do with gold. I guess other nations prize it so they could just store it but risuners wouldnt see the value in it or see it as just another metal. Dont know if gold is in risu naturally. We will most certainly take the cashews and diamonds though

>>24559780
>dazzlers
I'll try to brainstorm a way for dazzlers to be plausible then.
Would they store a lot of light? I guess the solution here is find a way for chuubanite to store light instead of heat, actually, maybe it'd work better as a bomb that produces a lot of light instead, like a flashbang, if it's triggered then the chuubanite falls on a particular substance that generates a bright light. I'll keep looking at information for flashbangs and stuffs like that.
The other issue is find a way for the pigeon to actually use the dazzler when panicked.

>>24561123
>Umm. I dont think she knows what risuners use pretty gems for.
Kek, thankfully she doesn't. Iirc the risuners had orders to not speak about the witches? Aria is just annoyed by schizo magic bullshit.
Maybe someone could explain to them that with gold, you can give the gold to other countries to get more nuts and gems? Or make paying for stainless steel tools a bit more easy, that sanallite would have taken the gold for those.
If that doesn't interest them, we could also include rapeseed oil in the agreement. It's pretty amazing for frying donuts, I think Risu liked those.

>>24561554
better script that doesn't look like scribbles

>>24561953
oh and i forgot to mention, there are three Ys. the vowel one is y acting like a vowel, the other two are just consonant versions because you can't start with a vowel. j sometimes acting as one because redundancy is the mark of a language's history. maybe i'll take it a way, idk

>>24561527
My idea is that it's triggered by a glyph. When a target approaches the dazzler too quickly, it engages and releases a portion of the energy it hosts into a burst of light energy(or maybe a series of rapid flashes, to conserve energy). Because the flash is so violent, the dazzler only lasts less than say half a dozen times at most. It shouldn't be that complicated to be engraved in the back of the chuubnaite, with the chuubanite then attached to a metal plate which modifies the kind of energy the chuubanite releases. Because it's relatively expensive(needing careful engraving and all), it's only really used in conflict zones where one anticipates the pigeon has a high chance of being intercepted.
Actual Flashbangs are still pyrotechnic so I doubt it's that safe near a quite flammable pigeon carrying important messages.

>>24561554
Risuners place knowledge of gem protection above all else. Most risuners treat it as an urban legend but if your high rank enough then you get filled in on the secret. Basically witches in /risu/ are CIA in terms of trying to keep that shit secret. The only reason Plumdrop was able to even see it for himself in the luknights story is because not only did they have a lot to offer but I also assumed it was extremely necessary to use it i wanted to say "no you dont see that shit" but I like to think there are exceptions/emergencies and Pasuma is the one place that would happen. Cahya has orders to basically say diamonds are used for decorations. Risuners are now fully aware that
>Other nations use lots of metal for armor
>They are behind in technology
>Gold is valuable
>Paper and coins are money
>Nuts as money is only a risuner thing
>Sex isnt always well accepted as fun

>>24554634
Have been on a bit of hiatus recently, though I still keep up with the thread maintenance stuff plus shared stories. Tell me when you want to continue Diana's story

>>24557079
Looks pretty good! If I have to nitpick, some of the longer sentences can be broken down a bit more if you want a more intense pace.
Glad to be of help

>>24561554
Oh and cuz derp i forgot to add. Rapeseed oil was very nice. Risuners love sweets (which is why they very much like luknights right now) Anyway time to write the story. I really want to do rose later if I have the time.

>>24562078
Alright, so it's programmed into releasing energy stored specifically as flashes of light.
if (enemy.closeBy)
{
FlashRock();
}
I've no idea how glyphs work or have been established to work, so we might need help in that, but from what I get, it's basically code.

>>24557079
blender anon can you post the blender model you use for this? i want to make a more anime-style version, though it wont be textured or anything, i just think it would work better, especially with the mask i made

>>24562533
Yes. I kind of gave myself a lot so people are gonna have to wait a bit longer. As much as I enjoy doing this I kind of gave myself a lot kek. Dont worry I fully intend to continue.

>>24562578
/Meat/'s tattoos are technically glyphs I think. As long as it's not too OP or complicated I don't think there are too many issues or potential objections from other anons. Just releasing a flash of light whenever an enemy gets too close should be simple enough to work from a glyph.

>>24562809
To be fair, it's something mentioned in the old chuubanite rentry as well, but yes. I think the main question is how does the program tell what constitutes an enemy, and how does the detection method work.

>>24562162
They're really being exposed to the harsh truths of the world...
>>24562533
Thank you! I might give it another pass and break up more sentences. I have a tendency to write very long sentences, so I have to be mindful of that.
>>24562558
Sounds good, looking forward to it.
>>24562628
Yeah sure, lemme slap all of that on catbox, there's a few textures. Also, the clothes are a baked sim, not rigged, so you can't re-pose them.

>>24562968
It doesn't have to be activated by an "enemy", but rather just any object that the glyph recognise is approaching itself too quickly relative to itself. So a stray musket ball can trigger the dazzler just as a diving falcon can.

Here you go. It's all a fucking mess in there, feel free to ask any questions you have. The textures are for the mask and for the clothing colors. I'm interested in seeing what you put together.

>>24562993
>I have a tendency to write very long sentences
Same, but I guess it's fine as long as it isn't run-on sentences or paragraph-long sentences. A lot of these things ultimately boil down to personal preference, after all. I guess it might even work if you prefer a more John Woo style of action.

>>24562968
>>24563066
Well, I wrote a bunch of fake code because it seemed fun anyways.
using Chuubanite.Collections;
using Chuubanite.Collections.Generic;
using World.Engine;

public class FlashRockProcedure : MonoBehaviour
{
public rockBody pigeonBody;
public float rockRadar;

bool RockLoaded;

//start means after initialization
void start
{
RockLoaded =true;
}

void Update()
{
enemy.closeby = Input.rockRadar*10meters*2seconds;
}

public void FlashRock()
{
if (RockLoaded == true)
{
rockObject decimateEnergy = instantiate(loadedEnergy, transform.position, transform.rotation);
}
}

if (enemy.closeBy)
{
FlashRock();
}
}

>>24563066(me)
>>24562968
The detection can be based on the quantum physics theory a few threads ago. The glyph bases it's detection on the magical field, when an object enters the range the glyph sets, it determines whether or not it's fast enough relative to itself for the flash to trigger. It also don't have to be like a bubble around the dazzler, but kind of like an IR proximity sensor, being directional and thus mounted in the back or multiple directions. I have very little idea/understanding on quantum mechanics so might need others to chime in.

>>24470230
KFP Flamethrowers are not chuubanite powered: they typically run on a compound of Phoenix wax, saltpeter and sugar dissolved into an ethanol base, launched at high velocity using a multi chambered liquid pressurization system
although finding a use for Chuubanite should be put on my to do list...

yeah anyway, dazzlers go on the "*for later" list since I don't feel like dealing with magic shit

>>24563509

>>24563423
Oh, I guess I kinda assumed they were involved because the flames were weird pretty colors. Good to know! Maybe there could be trace amounts of natural chuubanite in the phoenix grease, gives it a bit of extra oomph.

>>24563082
i just wanted to remodel the base model lol, i didn't even think the entire scene would fit into catbox

>>24563730
It wouldn't if I'd applied that grass particle system lol.

>John Woo
I think I saw one of his movies in a village in Thailand fifteen years ago. Looks like I have another master of kino to do research on. At times I was conflicted between the "rule" to stick to short sentences, and the one to vary the length of your sentences. All those are more tips and guidelines than rules is what it gets down to, I guess.

>>24563254
>Vitubia runs in the Unity engine
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH IHATEITIHATEITIHATEIT

>>24563978
It's ultimately a form of art, so there aren't really concrete rules, and you can probably make an argument on violating most of them for your own aesthetic reasons. For John Woo, his action movies are pretty influential, although in hindsight his way of depicting action scenes (multiple angles, quite a bit of slo-mo by pre-Matrix standards, somewhat slow and methodical pace) was pretty unique at the time. Not really my thing, but it's a good reference.

>>24564083
if you ever see any flybeats, that ain't chuubanite

>>24563556
Actually, that has some interesting implications for the land mass of KFP itself, since it implies that the Phoenixes are either able to naturally synthesize chuubanite, or that they have metabolized it from something else. Which means we're either expanding our Phoenix farms to become the largest chuubanite exporter on the continent, or all of our wildlife is Chuubanite infused in some way, and the entire country is some massive brothers grim esque magical forest (my preferred option).

New bread: >>24564271

>>24564372
I think it's more likely that their biology allows them to concentrate chuubanite in their body from whatever they eat, kind of like heavy metal, but somewhat more beneficial

>>24564372
The approach /uuu/ (I think, in those saplingizing spores? Correct me if that's wrong), /risu/, and /morig/ have used is that some small amounts of chuubanite can be found all over the land, and some specific things can accumulate more of it (like the nuts of deadbeat bones). So /kfp/ chuubanite may have a particular affinity for Phoenix grease among other things.

>>24564540
nuts or* deadbeat bones
