I FUCKING LOVE CUTTING DOWN TREES!
I WANT TO LUMBER FOR WOOD AND BUILD HOUSES OUT OF THEM!
I WANT TO CLEAR OUT DENSE VEGETATION SO I CAN FARM AND FEED MY FAMILY!
I WANT TO SLASH-AND-BURN FORESTS SO MY CROPS GROW BETTER!
I WANT TO CUT DOWN TREES AND MAKE PAPER OUT OF THEM!
I WANT TO BUY MORE MACHINES SO I CAN DEFOREST AN AREA FASTER!
I WANT TO CUT DOWN TREES SO THE FORESTS DON'T ALL BURN WHEN THERE ARE FIRES!
I WANT TO INVEST MORE IN REPLANTING TREES SO I CAN HAVE MORE TREES TO CUT DOWN!

>>25609191
the fuck is this shit......trees are meant to stay and grow fruits. just climb trees

>>25609316
You mean risuners never cut down any trees while they built their towns and houses?

Reminder that all Sanalites are forbidden to enter /uuu/'s borders under risk of death. Only diplomats are allowed to speak to Saplings.

>>25609357
oh they do but they dont use machines and onyl chop down what they need to. And they dont necessarily enjoy doing it they just know it is necessary.

>>25609191
I miss the one with the hooman that one time they talked about loving boats. Also the war hooman was pretty funny

>>25609448
You would learn to love it. Eventually...

ah yes. thank you sticky note for reminding me about doing luna story today.

>>25609422
Meh, I lost interest in Saplings, I want a new toy to play with.

>>25609769
So you're a Mozzie after all. You're under arrest.

>>25609769
you called?

>>25609822
Foolish kid, you would do well not to forget who gave you the seat you currently sit on. We of the Council gave you the power of the Principal, and we can just as easily take it away. You are not the one in control anymore, dear Alexander.

>>25609491
I never left... Also boat poster and war poster are the same person

>>25610220
Yes...

>>25609643
Any thoughts on my short chapter so far? man I miss bothering risuners for feedbacks

>>25609422
this is just untrue

>>25610314
Go ahead and expose the world your agenda mosquito. You seek absolute power over /nasa/ and its people. Just as Starfleet won absolute power in the other dimension you seek the same. Just like you did with 2030 Austrailia.

>>25611770
As long as you are citizens of /nasa/ you are citizens of Starfleet. And Starfleet's word as encorced by their appointed council is law. Council has been given this power to prevent men like the Principal from establishing a tyrannical rule. Remember /nasa/, who took away your internet? Who took away your electricity? And who took away all quality of life for modern living? This man who sits before you right now. This man is a traitor to all of us. By his hand he has caused Sanalites to suffer. I demand this man to be not only removed from office, but to be stripped of all of his technology, implants, and space suit to be exiled by airlock.

>>25611053
bother us more. I personally like the attention and im sure the other risuners like it too. As for the actual answer to your question im looking at it right now.

Did you actually write all of this? Just for risuners? Dude I actually feel fucking lazy now holy shit. Why meatchads so good at going into detail and telling good stories.

It's more like 1/4 of what I should write, since there's still the inn, the city/market, and the shipyard that I should write about. I do like putting details in my writing, since they usually highlights the feeling that I want the readers to feel. Linking to relevant pics and pages is fairly useful, especially when I go with obscure stuff like the fire opal, the various kinds of garnet, and whenever I feel like putting Nahuatl in the text. That said, thanks for the praise! I feel quite honoured to be seen as comparable to roseanon!
Would Diana do nut exchange with the gem merchant?

>>25613108
You'll have to keep it secret from /nasa/ but there are Sanalites into cute squirrel girls and boys.

>>25613108
I am VERY close to done with luna ch.4 and i have another sticky note after tri fleet update to do meat thing next. Diana at this point I will say will be conflicted. Most of the crew are reaching the zone where they REALLY want to trust the meatheads but are still a little scared. I will be sure to include the answer though.
(fucking sticky notes why did i not think of this earlier)

Winardi logs ch 4.

We have arrived at Gaputan finally. IT still amazes the fuck out of me that Plumdrop can survive this heat with his armor on considering his candy kingdom is much cooler in comparison. But I've already given up on trying to get him to take it off.
Immediately upon arrival Plumdrop noticed something very familiar. A large circular pad in the town center filled with risuners. When asked about it I told him that all of the major towns has a similar pad. This is where Risu is told to appear every November during the annual nut tribute.

Plumdrop had been somewhat accustomed to the natural layout of a Risuner town. On the bottom floor were large houses made from local tree wood and a bunch of commercial establishments. Many sold food and all of them of course had nuts as an option. On the top layer with big wooden platforms connected by bridges were smaller houses which risuners could climb with ease.
Foreigners could not access these places and it has been stated that the only reason /risu/ even bothered with ground buildings is because of the influence of kronies. Apparentaly it's what the rest of the world did and only risuners can climb trees without a ladder or other tool.

Many of the kids seemed to like Plumdrop here. They ran up to him and said similar comments
"HOW SHINY" "SUCH A BIG MAN" "AREN'T YOU HOT IN THAT METAL CAGE?" "IS THAT A PRETTY GEM!?"
The parents would calm them down at first but some of the parents even had very similar questions. Gaputan was noted for being pretty quiet except for rare /towa/ traders. So seeing luknights must have been a shock to them.

It was here that Plumdrop noted something he had not yet seen. Among all the houses he asked about the small farms that they set up. Normally farms would be much bigger and there wouldn't be any trees blocking the way.
"Well normally your right but since /risu/ grows stuff faster than anyone else we can afford to feed people with just this." Along the trees constantly bearing fruits and nuts Plumdrop could get the idea that this was enough to feed the energetic squirrel people.

OOH OOH OOH PLUMDROP!? HE DID A THING I WAS SO HAPPY! HE PET MY TAIL! HOLY SHIT HE ACTUALLY PET MY TAIL! Normally this big dude was always acting so professional and chivalrous (I think that's the word) but it seems he finally gave in. I almost scared him with how happy it made me and demanded he do it again, brushing my tail right in his pretty gem armor. He told me to relax. But there might be more if I continue showing him around and maybe some candy.

That reminds me as well. He is very used to the sweets so I thought he might like some of our fruits. He said something about his lands candy and that sometimes they use nuts. Sometimes his candy have fruit flavors so he was very much into it. Coconut milk seemed to be a big favorite of his but he seemed to like a lot. Makes sense since you come from candy kingdom you love sweet food.
After we explored the ground floor (he was too heavy to carry to the top) we bunked in one of the risuners houses. AND THIS GUY SLEEPS WITH HIS ARMOR ON!? WTF! Oh well. I wonder which city he will want to see next.

>>25613652
I mean, wouldn't nut exchanges help break the ice?

>>25614062
They would. But Diana personally happens to be somewhat of a "take control" kind of character (or a dom for simpler terms) so she doesn't exactly like the idea of "submitting". It's all pretty complicated. Do note these, or their recent ancestors were the ones who took/probably killed her grandparents.

>>25614141
>implying /meat/heads don't like submitting
Well, in this case it might help a bit, since the gem merchant comes from a distant land, so the chance of her playing a role in taking her grandparents is pretty slim. She'll have her chance in meeting the actual raiders if you want

>>25614210
It can be up to you. I will say if she does it is better that she does alone. The entire crew seeing the ones that took their girlfriends etc will probably burst out in anger.

>>25614511
Good that the rest of the team's back in their inn while Diana goes to arrange the gem deal, aye? Though to be fair, the gem merchant's intentionally ambiguous in terms of what she's after, so if Diana prefers to make the deal by giving other stuff, she's fine with it as well.

>>25614562
Yee. Ill be doing it soon. If not today then tomorrow certainly.

>>25614599
No need to hurry. I probably should try to at least finish the inn part beforehand lol

>>25613872
>>25608513
Forgot to fucking anchor again I just realized. Also anchor this shit. pls and thank you.

TRI FLEET MEETS UP AT /MORIG/

Im sure the deadbeats must have been surprised if they didn't keep up with risuner events. All of a sudden we had 9 pinisi and even though our skeleton friends had bigger boats and more of them, oh I bet our nuts that they would have been surprised at our massive rate of BUILDING BOATS!
All 9 ships landed on the western side of /morig/ after circling around them and saying hi. As for the formation, well it was a little difficult but we could all see each other which was good and we did have crew with enough knowledge to know what we were doing.
Luckily enough /morig/ was full of docks so we just showed up at whatever one we saw that didn't have the giant cannon boats. They didn't wanna get in the way of their navy. Of course when 9 risuner boats showed up the deadbeats had a lot of questions. Luckily we had a note for them written in their language made in advance

Hello deadbeats. We are the Risuner tri fleet and it is our mission to go to the magical forest nation of /uuu/. There are 2 other places nearby with possibly some really cool stuff so instead of sending fleets separately we thought to combine all 3 of those expeditions into a big one.
We kind of used your land to see if we could travel in formation and as a secondary launching stage for the long trip over there. If things go wrong and it turns out they are hostile to us, we would like to ask of you something. We have been told the "space people" may be dangerous but have the shiniest and prettiest things. For whatever you like (this can be negotiated and can include nut exchanging if you like) in the event all goes wrong and we lose our valuable crew we ask you take your giant cannon boats and blow them all up.
This is only a backup plan though and it is ok if you say no. Also while we are here we would like to do a very quick trade. We brought some bog iron and will give you all of it in exchange for whatever food you have that will last a while. Fruits too if you got them. Thank you our boney friends.

This note made some deadbeats shiver and others laugh. It was a very strange proposal. We told them never to mention this note to other nations as we do want to be friends with the magic forest people but we commonly have a fear. The /meat/ raiders probably made us look kind of like pushovers and we want to show everyone that we are fucking badass now. Our next stop was possibly /ggg/ but if that was a no go then we will head straight to /uuu/. We had 6 pinisi FILLED with food so hopefully it would be enough.

The baby mammoth is with her herd in the arctic wetlands. In the summer the wetlands are filled with grass. No schizo hunters yet. The mammoth of this herd at least seem to have gotten comfortable around Sanalites. We still can't approach them. But they know we keep our distance. The baby mammoth is thriving with her new surrogate mother. So this story has a happy ending.

bump

>My work is regarded as above average quality by multiple people
Did I wake up in an alternate universe this morning or something? My stuff is mediocre at best when compared to everyone else's, but I appreciate the praise.

Pretty soon Starfleet council is going to take over all of /nasa/ station and there's nothing we can do to stop them. /nasa/ will become a 2030 surveilence state. Maybe that's what /nasa/ needs is a dictatorship that forces them back to isolationism. They'll just have to wait for Starfleet to come pick them up or die out.

>>25616069
give yourself more credit, roseanon.

>>25616069
The fuck. I always say how badass your stuff is. Do you not remember when I literally said i re read all your entires 3 times over because it was fun?

I FUCKING LIKE YOU ROSEDERP

>>25616283
>>25616288
I've got real bad self esteem, so it's pretty hard for me to actually take a compliment. But thank you guys, this thread really means a lot to me so knowing that you guys actually do like my work makes me really happy.
Dragoons in a few days by the way. Might have to put it all in separate rentries just to make it easier to digest.

I need some help writing a list of charges against the Principal for issuing an emergency lock down without Council's approval. Council is going to throw the book at him. I know some of the charges are Treason, Disobeying a Direct Order, Issuing an Illegal Procedure without Council's approval, and a few others. I'm just wondering if there's other charges I can throw in there.

>>25616929
bruh im actually the one that feels like i lack any skill desu. people here are talented.

>>25617610
Join the club. I have to figure out how to write a court hearing document. Something I know I can't really adequately do. But I'll try. Even I see my writing as mediocre. Mostly because I've been "telling" and not "showing" recently.

>>25614675
The Deadbeats hear your need, and answer.
https://rentry.org/ibw3q
The part that goes unspoken is that Moriji would only strike back if actual Deadbeats were involved in the potential conflict; if there were only Risuners, the people's opinion would be to stay out of it, especially if it happens so far away.
The offer is on the table: you can leave with the clipper coming along, otherwise the 9 pinisi can purchase their supplies and be on their way.

>>25614675
>in the event all goes wrong and we lose our valuable crew we ask you take your giant cannon boats and blow them all up.
Hope you a lot wouldn't mind us getting involved when it does happen, however unlikely it is...

>>25618048(me)
Ignore the typo

>>25618027
>>25618048
/who/ vs /morig/ Fleet battles? Now you're fucking talking.

>>25618151
more like /who/, /morig/ & /risu/ vs /nasa/. Where deadbeats do most of the fighting, risuners being bullet sponges and /who/ sweep in and take everything that isn't nailed down.
Very unlikely though, but still very funny to think about.

>>25618295
/nasa/ is too busy fighting itself to participate.

>>25617610
that mindset is common among creatives, being overly critical and all.
I for one hate my own writing, but some have told me its ok so I'll try to believe them.

>>25618048
Now, now, i'm sure nothing wild will happen, we're all peaceful peoples after all. But we do have to keep things under control. For now, we just watch.

>>25618351
The request basically boils down for /morig/'s ship to blow up anything that harmed /risu/'s crew. But it is one cutter and 9 minimally armed pinisi vs rail guns though. So either the deabeat captain would try his damnest to deescalate things or a pinisi was accidentally sunk when /nasa/ tried to fire a warning shot, the deadbeat captain waiting to be demoted when he got back home.

>>25618425
Spy glasses are ready. Looks like it would be fun.

>>25618578
/nasa/ has speakers. We'll give a verbal warning before firing a warning shot.

>>25618578
Clipper isn't there to blow anything up, it doesn't even have cannons. It's just there so that if the fleet gets blown up, the Deadbeats will have a justification to come down on /nasa/ with the fleet proper. Kinda like putting american soldiers in a country that do nothing, except if they get shot at it gives an excuse to drone the shit out of the place.
Also, the captain isn't in a Black Fleet officer, he's just a trader. He's carrying a few lieutenants that will observe the proceedings though.
All that assuming Risuners accept, the deal, obviously.
You're right that everyone involved will be motivated to deescalate as much as possible though.

>>25618866
Until the deadbeats failed to deescalate, a pinisi charged forward and unfortunately got sunk or heavily damaged despite the warning. Risuners are headstrong but not braindead tough so sheer moral shock alone should get them to stand down.

Also, we are miles upon miles from the shore. Forget any type of fleet, you getting to us on foot. Through the marshes. The deepest mud you can think off. Couldn't ask for a simpler target practice, really.

You are also forgetting we have a ship that(for the most part) survived an orbital crash. Pretty sure there ain't nothing that can touch us if we just lock our doors and shoot at you from the higher up. Again, the terrain would basically prevent any prolonged siege, as supplies would need to be hauled over *checks notes* 50+km of marshes. Tundra marshes, might I add. Pretty cold up here. So yea, Risuners, Deadbeats or Hoomans, you are welcome to try and get us. We had plenty of experience in worse conditions in the last months with schizo raids.

>>25619126
Don't push us in on this, we're just watching.

>>25619237
>we're just watching.
Gotta cover all bases, so you don't have an excuse we didn't warn you when the inevitable happens.

>>25619126
Deep mud? Maybe the pinisi can sail on the mud?

If you're still here cunt I need help throwing the book at your Principal with a list of charges, including warcrimes.

>>25619424
Am here, cunt. Reasonably drunk, as is tradition for mondays, so here goes: Why do we even need the council and senate was it? I can't remember the other one. Anyway, they seem like an ok idea on paper, but at this stage, they just seem out of the left field for the narrative. We have both been writing up till this point like the Principal is the ruling authority, then all of a sudden, when we were THIS CLOSE to wrapping everything up, these two entities with power over him spring up out of nowhere and start slamming down the rules. Why? Seems to me like unnecessary padding to prolong the story arc. Not to mention it creates loopholes. Why would Principal, if he isn't the top of the top brass hold the required clearance to COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN MOST SYSTEMS ON THE STATION?! Hell, if we are going with this setting, Council would probably have to unanimously agree to even reach a clearance of this level. It just doesn't make sense to my small brain.

That is not to say I am totally opposed to the idea, It's just that, at least for me, it would be something that would spring up after the lockdown ended, the new directive was agreed upon, and Principal, of his own will, relinquished his duties, leaving others to fill in the gap left by his departure.

Then again, I am just a Cunt Sanallite, so feel free to ignore me and continue with the story. As for help with the warcrime charges, idk, read the geneva convention or something? I have 0 knowledge on this front, and right now, am in no state to start researching it.

>>25618027
We accept the offer. Thank you very much for taking it seriously. We sail as soon as you are ready. We do hope this goes well of course. Its just nice to have backup.

>>25619391
Tough luck, buddy. You're walking. Hope you don't mind getting your tail wet.

>>25619948
So someone at council would have had to agree with the lock downs for them to happen in the first place. That could be what leaves the Principal off the hook. Council agreed with him to lock down technology. Either council was setting up the principal for impeachment and he fell for it or the principal stole the master code and took command of the system. And I suppose the arc should have ended with the principal getting shot.

>>25619973
Very good. Here are profiles for the notables on the clipper's crew.

>Gustus Albiji is an experienced Deadbeat trader. His newest ship the Black Comet, is a jewel of Moriji shipbuilding and engineering, designed to carry precious and time-sensitive cargos across the oceans as fast as possible. Profit motivates him, but when the cards are down, he would die for Mori her island.

>Lieutenant Justicia Kinui is a promising young officer of the Black Fleet. She graduated from the Southern Naval Academy with specializations in biology, chuubanitology and botany. Her previous assignments put her in Risuner territory, where she was familiarized with their culture.

>Lieutenant Desuvius Akai graduated at the top of his class at the Naval Engineering Academy. He is a complete nerd in matters of material science, artillery, and ship construction, topics where he has published a series of papers. He gained an interest in alien technology after a tour through /moon/ and /pagi/ for humanitarian relief missions while /kson/ was a nascent nation.

>>25608513
Anchor, as well as >>25618027, alongside >>25614675
Thank you.

>>25620415
What he means is: the political system of /nasa/ should have been better defined before entering the current arc

>>25620670
So let's just fucking shoot the principal and get over it.

>>25619126
>>25620670
>>25620756
Honestly I'm starting to think we'll just arrive to /nasa/, the door will be open and yall will have killed each other already.

>>25620820
Then we can take all the pretty gems and you all can take everything else.

>>25620820
Honestly the worst outcome both for the poor squirrels and deadbeats getting to us, as well as Saplings, Hoomans, Brats and Robosa. The station AI has an automatic protocol for self destruction when no alive Sanallite has been confirmed on board for a designated period of time. It assumes the worst, and following the Grand Directive, Erases everything so that our tech cannot spread and contaminate any potential locals. And let's just say we pack quite a bit more punch than Chernobyl did, and that already affected most of europe to a certain degree.

Alright bois. work time then when i get home time to finish up the dianas logs. I probably should do a thing on nasfaqg since they showed up at Sabatangan. Every nation gets an ambassador after all. Well until then, later friends.

>>25620820
So yea, If you suddenly see a flash from beyond the marshes while walking, just...uhh...well, I don't really know. You won't even have the time to process it, probably. Just pray It doesn't happen, I guess?

Whelp, the damage is done. Evidence points that Alexander Jason Steele abused his emergency power as principal who locked down the station. Effective immediately Principal Alex will be removed from office and imprisoned, not exiled, for the rest of his life. Council has voted to restructure all of the permission systems inside the computer system so only they have control over emergency functions like self-destruct and lock downs. Senate has voted to change the law so that term limits apply to executive staff, Principal included. After this law passes a new principal will be voted in by the Senate.

Also from now on all trade deals with other nations will have to be approved by the senate and council so long as they do not violate the Grand Directive. Also only Security Forces will be allowed to carry weapons from now on. All citizens must turn in their guns to security forces. There will also be a new social credit system that monitor's Sanalite's behaviors encouraging them to "follow the law or face penalties". The tyranny of Alex is over. Now life can get back to normal under the Grand Directive as Sana intended.

>>25621372
Not anchoring to give time for amendments.

>>25621372
Don't you fucking dare anchor that shit or I swear to Sana I will start a war with both Risuners, Deadbeats And Saplings.

>>25621628
Then let's see about amending this to be more reasonable.

>>25621708
24 hours. That's all I ask for.

>>25621556
>>25621628
>>25621708
>>25621796
kek /nasa/ is the only nation that is more unhinged OOC than in-universe.

>>25621817
seriously. theres like 3 of them. I call them
>diplomat sanalite
>cunt sanalite
>angry sanalite
kind of surprised at least one of them hasnt resorted to tripfagging

So I have a few guesses on how Alex was able to lock down the station.

-Council is a recently newly added government by Starfleet.
-Council was sloppy with permissions in /nasa/'s system which allowed the principal, the executor of law, certain permissions that he probably shouldn't have kept.
-Alex exploited these permissions to lock down the station in the name of the Grand Directive bypassing council's orders.
-Alex simply saw an exploit in the system and took advantage of it.
-/nasa/ is a fairly old station. So many of its systems still need to be properly updated.
-This will be an opportunity to fix the permissions inside the station to where they're suppose to be.
-Starfleet still orders council to build a social credit system to encourage following the law. This still needs to be debated.

I'd talk about this in /nasa/ but they pretty much don't care about this project anymore. So I'm asking here.

>>25621906
Ohh I think I usually confound angry and cunt sanallite, but yeah there are subtle differences.
There's also speculative biology sanallite, he's the only sane one. (I love all of yall though /nasa/)

>>25621796
You got 24 hours. Also a list of things that might be why Alex got permissions. >>25621964 Mostly bad and rushed programming.

>>25621985
oh yeah, mammoth anon, hes great

>>25621985
Hahaha It seems I play my roles well. Yea, sorry to ruin it for you, my skelly friend, but all three of those are the same person, namely me.

>>25622105
We never got to name the mammoth. I want to name her Delilah because she was a delight to play with. Now that we have a tracker on her we can find Delilah any time.

Eventually I want to write about a mossback tortoise who likes lounging at the farm for a few days. Can I write a story about the tortoise?

>>25623412
I'll allow it, just THIS time.
t. literally a random anon

>>25623468
I want to rescue a tortoise from getting caught in an electric fence and nurse it back to health.

>>25623582
Just don't fuck the turtle, that would be weird.

>>25623610
gonna need to hide all the farm animals once the risuners show up

>>25623412
Feels weird to have to give permission to write about a species entry I made, but yea, sure, go for it.

/nasa/ Thread rep here. I have an idea to make the writing go smoother. You can ask a series of questions for the hearing and I can answer them. Also I'll try to detail how /nasa/'s computer systems and permissions work.

On one hand writing this arc was a mess. On the other hand /nasa/ finally has something that represents a government. If there's any changes you want to see to government then I will oblige. I'm still figuring this out as much as everyone else.

So when Risuner's ships land then how do we know they come in peace. Does Risuners have a flag they can wave or a giant gong to ring?

Well, the Deadbeat clipper uses a standardized Maritime Signal Flag system that both /who/ and /morig/ ships would be familiar with, so they could tell the fleet comes in peace based on that. But I think word of the expedition will likely precede our arrival.
Risuners should get a gong though, that fits the vibe somehow.

>>25624843
Gongs are made from either bronze or brass. Brass gongs would be useful on ships.

A group of merchant vessels recently disembarked from the city of Oppia heading north en route to the Reich. They come bearing multicolored parasols and crates of drink.

>>25626262
How many reichs do we have at this point anyway, like 3?

>>25626961
/morig/ is a glorious extremely loose confederation meritocracy where your merits are judged by how much you love Mori (and also how much ass you kick, I guess)

Here's another option for /nasa/. We can retcon the senate and Starfleet council. I'll have to edit the rentry but that's also on the table.

>>25626262
Rumblings from the mountain have been interpreted to say a crossing of paths in the Heavenly Realm may be coming.

>>25626961
Kaiserreich and the Retroreich, is there a third one? damn wehraboos

>>25627230
>>25624048
>>25621964
>>25621372
/nasa/ please fire your rep. He's doing the thing again.

>>25628598
I was thinking /clg/ was the third, but maybe I'm misremembering their full title.

>>25628829
Hmm they're pretty Reich-like yeah, but I think they're just called an Empire.

I guess I should look up a reich to figure out what it actually means.

>>25629237
Direct translation is "realm", not empire. If you want to make "Empire of X" then you'd need Kaiserreich.

>>25629323
That's what I gathered when I looked it up. Its German for realm. So I'm thinking its like a kingdom run by a king or specifically a fuhrer?

>>25613872
Interesting nanora... I will write a Plumdrop entry by Wednesday. Tonight Lunaito needs to rest a bit, naaaa...

>>25629627
Sure, probably, I don't know kraut so I'm going off what i've read before. You can go further than that like "Realm of X" like France's name in german "Frankreich - French Realm"

>>25629830
Realms are usually what kingdoms are called. Or at least realms would be land which the lord has influence over. Technically a kingdom can be made up of multiple realms I think.

Spy story in Pekoland

bump.

Should be about time Saplings are awake. Did Saplings read my last post too them after they went to bed last thread before it archived?

>>25609191

>>25630137
Kek, that was great. I won’t let you turn my goddess into a bloated cow, peko! really got me good. Nice job.
Nations with foreign covert operations agencies:

>>25633047
were you the anon asking about paper?

>>25609191

>>25634333
No. Our contracts are on computer tablets (though we always print them for recordkeeping at home). I wrote this last night. >>25588215 TL;DR is that one Sanalite's shitposting doesn't reflect the administration. Also /nasa/ is going to use formal proposals when talking business to /uuu/. There's a reason why I do the negotiating and not the other Sanalite.

>>25634577
How do you do fellow sapling? Are you up to date with what happened with /nasa/?

>>25634300
I've realized that I write alot easier and have more fun when its both absurd and comedic so I'm glad you enjoyed it!

>>25634711
Oh, I thought I replied to that.
>we always give baked goods as a token of apology
this would be appreciated, though the delivery method might need to be discussed
>retrieve the wagon so we can re-use the freezers
also do-able, similar point as above though
>We will start with a format being a formal proposal
Something I did mean to touch on yesterday: the biggest issue with what happened wasnt so much the surface issues of agriculture at shared borders, as much as it was mixed communication. /uuu/ has a connected network of roots which saplings use to communicate with the forests and each other; we tend to be very "hive minded" in a sense; so when multiple sanalites each started saying different things, all communications with us broke down. we expect to speak to a united entity.
>Also feel free to talk to Sanalites as individuals
yall are all pretty nice individuals, even angry sanalite and cunt sanalite are fun to talk to... just not always in political negotiations...

>>25635213
Understandable. Sanalites are mostly individuallistic. We each have our own skills, our own drives, and our own motivations. You can say we're a diverse group, the best of humanity. It might be alien to Saplings for individuals to work together on our own free will. I completely understand.

Sanalites are also very interested in seeing Saplings. Many of us are too busy to leave the station. So I'm wondering when we reclaim the wagons may we take a photograph of Saplings eating ice cream sammies together?

>>25635543
>the best of humanity.
>Aussies

>>25635543
>might be alien to Saplings for individuals to work together
thank you for understanding
>Sanalites are also very interested in seeing Saplings
this could be ok, though we'd prefer itd be more of an ambassador role from your end, itd be easier for us to trust one or two individuals to come study rather than cycles of random scientists.
I dont wanna nudge your lore, but if mammoth sanalite is around, but I like him and think he'd be great to write and manage cultural negotiations between /uuu/ and /nasa/
all of that being said, spending too much time in our lands is can be dangerous, so thats something to keep in mind

>>25634746
No, what's happened?

>>25636046
Hmm, now I have to think about how deadbeat and sapling mutations would interact.

>>25636165
whose gonna tell him?

>>25636165
>>25636264
honestly, it was almost enough of a hubbub that I was thinking about writing up a summary to anchor, but idk how much of it was meta squabbles and how much of it actually happened in-world (I just write lore, I dont really do in-person accounts)

>>25636605
I could see an in universe interpretation going something along the lines of, "Drunken Sanalite diplomat pisses off entire nation of Saplings with belligerent threats about deforestation, jeapordizes Sanalite relations globally while other Sanalites rush to soothe the matter with ice cream sandwiches"

>>25636046
Sanalites will not come to your lands uninvited. Also the science teams don't rotate out. That's actually bad for the quality of research. If scientists visit then we will introduce you to them. After all they are people just like Saplings are. However that's for later. As for the photo Sanalites use them to commemorate moments in our lives. We have albums of pictures which are like paintings but nicer. The diplomat wants to take a photo with Saplings to commemorate their first meeting. He can show you his album of photos so you can see how they work. Contrary to popular belief photographs do not suck your soul.

>>25636605
I was thinking of creating a map of particular areas using the topographical map. Is there any current map of locations already present? If it goes well I'll even make up some short stories

>>25636941
Im glad you asked, I made one just the other day (picrel)
The explanations for the different areas are in the lore doc

>>25636876
>Contrary to popular belief photographs do not suck your soul
many of our saplings are turned, not bred; we have basic knowledge of technological artifacts, even if we do not make them ourselves; a picture or two would be acceptable. fair warning, depending on the size of the party of scientists, some guardian ents might see fit to wander near the event. please do your best to not startle them

>>25637355
Environmental science teams are no more than 5 people. We're understaffed on biology researchers. Anyway /nasa/ will not send scientists without permission. If /uuu/ says no scientists for now then no scientists. Only diplomats for now.

>>25636859
ha, this is a write-up I would like to read if anyone ever makes it

>>25637505
/uuu/ will agree to an in-person meeting at our northern borders, in the grasslands, with a party of no more than 5 sanalites; security precautions on our end would entail 1-2 guardian ents, watching from a distance. if and only if, you discuss it with your council and get approval from other sanalites on the board
/uuu/ will not make deals with a single sanalite, diplomatic and reasonable though you may be

Proposal:
Merge /mogu/+/doog/, /fbk/, and /okfams/ into one big 6-chuuba nation

>>25637938
The nations reflect /vt/ generals. If all those threads combined we'd follow along.

I've been thinking about what possible hardwoods /nasa/ could have. Perhaps if we go up the mountains to find junipers and other cedar trees. Cedars are hardwood. Most taiga trees are softwood. While softwood is useful as a building material after waterproofing we still need hardwood for weatherproofing ships and buildings.

>>25637936
Time to ask the thread.

>>25638113
Just a fair warning. /nasa/ does not make threads unless Sana has a stream scheduled. So if /nasa/ is not online then we can't get any decisions made. /nasa/ may vote for a deticated diplomat to handle all of /uuu/'s requests if that's fair.

comfy bump

Hey Lunaito, I started on the Nanonanora entry, I'm busy graduating tomorrow, so it'll probably be a bit still.

>>25640673
That's okay. Take your time to do things right, nanora.

>>25637936
It looks like the meeting is a no go because /nasa/'s thread doesn't really care about this project. There's only 2-3 Sanalites here in this thread. I suppose /nasa/ and /uuu/ will remain cautious enemies from now on.

>>25641741
>>25637936
Spoke too soon. We got a confirmation. >>25641689

>>25641741
>cautious
yes
>enemies
I hope not

I understand the disconnect with your general though, would really be enough if other sanalites here could concur with you

>>25642080
We just got a confirmation. >>25641916 /vtwbg/ is looked down upon in /nasa/. Mostly because one time the thread was nothing but /vtwbg/ posts and we were told to cut that shit out or tag it. This was during the two months Sana was abscent. Then we had a pretend jannie threatening to ban /vtwbg/ posts from the thread entirely. Other than bored shit poster its mostly just me handling everything. I even wrote the mammoth story that I eventually want to expand. First civil unrest arc has to end. Anyway thread says yes. So we can have our sapling meetup.

>>25642436
well ok sanalite, lets see how this goes down this time

callout to other saplings: we really need a character writer

>>25637592
>piss drunk sanalite stumbles through the forest with a buddy and begins to get dangerously close to the border with an axe. Buddy is sweating bullets trying to get piss drunk sanalite to calm down before things escalate.
>"Fackin bullshit, it is! We've got a bloody tundra freezing our tits off in the north and a goddamn fucking furnace to the east and we're just s'posed to ignore the big fack you forest right on our doorstep because some fackin sapsuckin treehumpers'll get sad? THE CUNTS ARE ALWAYS SAD!"
>Sapling border patrol spots them from a distance, "E-Excuse me, you're not really supposed to-"
>"I know my fackin rights, you weepy willow cunts! Don't fackin tell me what I can and can't do on my goddamn soil!"
>Sanalite Buddy tries to get a word in, "Don't worry about them mate, they're just a little tipsy is all. We're just scoutin the forests round here for a good place to do a little natural forestry! We aint cuttin down any-"
>"Fack yea we're cutting down these goddamn trees! Useless fackin ground sticks for bread dogs to piss on is what I say! I'd scrap the whole damn forest if I could! Maybe I'll get some fuckin tree rats to do it for me, give em a bag of firecrackers and let em have at it!" piss drunk sanalite proceeds to haphazardly swing the axe at a tree. Doesn't manage to do much but scrape a bit of bark off.
>Sapling border guard starts to cry. The commotion attracts other nearby border patrol saplings.
> "Oh yeah, yeah, KEEP FACKING CRYING! While you're over there pissing yourself, we'll be makin shit you couldn't dream of! I'm talkin shit you've never seen! You ever heard of air conditioning? Course you fuckin haven't because-" drunken sanalite proceeds to projectile vomits inside of their suit, "-IT DONT GROW ON A FACKING TREE!"
>drunk sanalite is dragged away by their buddy as saplings comfort the now sobbing border patrol officer. Buddy sanalite is calculating damage control as drunk belligerent sanalite friend shouts more deforestation rhetoric.
Not quite sure how lore accurate this is but it summed up my general interpretation of last thread. I'm neither sanalite nor sapling though I thoroughly enjoyed the exchange and hope pease relations go well.

>>25642667
Its almost my bedtime. I'm still sick so bedtimes are early tonight. I have three characters in mind to visit along with two armed rangers. Also there's at least one bread dog coming with us.

just wanted to add a little spice to this from the sapling side
picrel would probably have been in the background watching, just in case

>>25643835
imagine sanalites needing to fight a sasquatch just because one of them was a bit too drunk at the time. what kind of weapons do they have, again?

>>25642813
Live sapling cam:

>>25644154
Railguns.

>>25644388
well then it wouldn't be a challenge, but i bet a railgun would attract things from the deeper parts of the forest, not that it would matter since they stay in the forest and the sanalites would be leaving.

Yes. It is indeed me. I like having sex especially with Roseboro and nuts. Actually I just had bagels and those were nice.

Sometimes I get confused by how risuners talk about nuts. I can't tell whether they mean sex or legumes.

I'll see you folks in the morning.

>>25647965
so sapling is EST and sanallite is CST

reeee i too sleepy

>>25648232
Actually, one of the Sanallites is gmt+2. The strugle of an EUchad. I come home from night shift and all the fun is already over. Lots of shit to catch up on.

>>25627230
This I am leaning towards the most. We can take our time and introduce them as our government later, but for now, we shouldn't complicate things too much.

>>25634333
No, that was me, the cunt Sanallite(and angry Sanallite as well for that matter), and as much as it might seem like a shitpost and me trying to stir shit up, I am honest to god curious about that specific detail. So indulge me this one time, please.

Also, for our rep: expect a bad end chapter for the civil war arc today, work was hell and I just need to write some morbid shit, as well as a logging village short entry. I apologise to all the Saplings in advance, but this is just something you will have to accept. Lumber is necessary for our development at this stage. Trust me, if I could do everything with steel like in the good old days, I would.

https://rentry.org/BadEnd

Ok, this was actually cathartic. Not anchoring it, for obvious reasons, but hey, if /nasa/'s rep wants to anchor it, feel free to do so.

There is also a continuation of this, involving a janny, but I felt like it took away from the general vibe of the story and lean too much into occult, as well as being maybe slightly too big of a twist, so I cut it from the final entry. If anyone would want to see it anyway, do gimme a shout though, not like it would be that long to write.

>>25667117
so this is what you guys must avoid. this might become prophetic if the somewhat constant bitter irony of this setting isn't my own fabrication.

>>25666339

i know were nowhere neat this tech level i just find it really fucking funny the indonesians built this. X18 combat boat with a fucking 105mm

alright finally found some neery to continue the story for getting /meat/ trade going, also anchoring once more since it seems i forgot last time? at least did not see it in the archive.

its not much, but hey at least something... i also cannot write dynamic dialogue i feel like

>>25651420
Then how about a ship from Starfleet arrives. The captain overrides the master code. The Principal gets removed from /nasa/ entirely. Then he gets sent to space prison for life. Starfleet then restructures /nasa/'s government have their appointed representatives that have the final say so on everything. And then /nasa/ can rebuild.

>>25671743
You know, /vrt/ could gain praises and benefits from /meat/ if your chuubas play old gory games like Splatterhouse

>>25673295
Not /nasa/, I thought the idea was that the station was cut off from the Star Fleet?

>>25675486
i forgot who it was but we already had someone play splatterhouse before

there is also the tons of oldschool doom streams with lots of bloody bits, oldschool silent hill and other old horror games that can be quite gory at times.

OoT does have its torture well too if that counts

>>25676175
ohh and of course onolumis run in with the OG retrogaming /meat/head, the butcher form diablo 1

>>25675668
It was. However we may need Starfleet to save us.

>>25651420
I'm going to go ahead and post the other entry I wrote earlier.

>>25676380
Damn
Thats tight

>>25668606
In my head canon, it's the newest elder tree and therefore one of the newest expansions of the forest and is full of new saplings who UUU and the forest echoes with their UUUs

Been thinking about /nasa/'s government. I guess the first thing we should acknowledge is that /nasa/ is not a true democracy nor republic. It is a military heirarchy structure in the way a naval ship is. While /nasa/ does have democratic processes for the people to manage themselves they have to get approved by the top brass. /nasa/ also has courts which interpret laws layed out by Starfleet. The flaw in /nasa/'s government is that the top brass can override any requests the people vote for. Making /nasa/ a dictatorship. The Principal shutting down the station has ultimately backfired. /nasa/ understands it now lives under a dictatorship and will do everything in their power to overthrow the Principal and his chain of command. Perhaps the principal did this to teach /nasa/ a lesson. They cannot let one man hold all of the power. They will have to figure out how to restructure themselves to be more independent. This way a tyrannical dictator cannot take over /nasa/ ever again.

If Starfleet was still in contact, Principal Alex would have been executed for treason. Then Starfleet would appoint a new Principal in the station. Hower Starfleet is not here to save is. Therefore its up to the people of /nasa/ to mutiny and overthrow the principal. Even if this means having the station lock down forever. /nasa/ will have to figure out how to survive on their own.

I suppose what I need to do is scrap everything that I have written and start all over again. I am requesting https://rentry.org/MeetingAtMiks to be removed from the archive as it is no longer canon. Until we have an official outline of /nasa/'s government and how it works the story cannot continue.

Fisherman 2
Short story in the port city of the Republic

"Fucking horrid day today" says the fisherman as thunder strikes. "Couldn't get a single catch today, can you believe it"
"'Course I fucking can, I've been stuck on this piece of shit boat with you for days"
"Haha lighten up mate, we're arriving just now, I think I'll go for a nice cup of coffee when we get there"
"I'm going to sleep like a log, my body's all sore from this shit, I should find another job"
"Sure then, I've heard there's a lot of new jobs at the inner country, factories and all"
"Nah fuck that, I'll find something on my own"
After hearing his coworker rant about how this job sucks, the fisherman can only think to himself that he probably will never abandon this job, it's pretty neat after all.

-----

Once in port, the fisherman has delivered the merchandise, a tad bit less than usual due to the wills of the ocean, but it is what it is. Today is a coffee day, nothing like a warm cup of coffee that doesn't suck, the fisherman used to go to shitty coffee shops until he found the one he liked, and the instant coffee that he takes on trips to the ocean frankly tastes like mud, sure it does the job but it doesn't even compare to a proper cup, those in the coffee producing nations must be blessed with good cups all the time, or maybe not, there's probably bad coffee everywhere.
Walking the streets, it's pretty calm with the rain and all, very few persons walking, very few markets open, the soldiers are just shooting at the target ranges, it's good how people don't like getting in brawls when the weather is all dark and stuff, makes it easy to trip and eat dirt, the fisherman knows from experience.
And look at that, how easy it is to get to the famous coffee shop "Étranger" when there isn't a mob of violent assholes in the middle.
"Hello"
"Dry your boots first!" says the shop owner as he points to a towel on the floor
"I'll take a cup of coffee and a brownie today, mate"
After wiping the boots, let's see who's on table 3 today. Oh it's the dentist, that madman.
"What's up dentist, still torturing your patients"
"They do it all to themselves, really, what about your teeth fisherman? they good? I could check for you if you want"
"Now that's a classic dentist response right there, but I'm going to pass, I brush 'em everyday!"
"Here is 2 cups of coffee, a brownie, and one coffee cake" Delivers the server.
"I'd say I do a great job, even our server here let me check his teeth and it all came out good"
The server simply shivers and turns back quickly.
"Really now? You left the poor guy scared a bit there"
"He's just funny like that". The fisherman and the dentist both take long sips of their cups.
"Anyways, I've just gotten hired by the university to give medical classes, feeling pretty good"
"Oh dear, an entire generation of psychopath dentists like you, that can't go wrong"
"You say that as if every other dentist wasn't as sadistic as I am, hell I'd even say I'm on the nicer side."
"He's not!" shouts the coffee server from behind the counter.

-----

"See ya later mate, let me check your teeth sometime!"
"When hell freezes over, maybe"
Slam!
"What a scary friend he is" mumbles the fisherman to himself.

>>25608513
When anchoring, please do put it in the same rentry as the other fisherman story. Thanks in advance.

oh i finished this model today. i had two massive migraines last week which made my entire body numb (neurologist appointment made), and then food poisoning, all after my dog died last week, because god fucking hates me. since this project wasn't artistically demanding i spent most of the time learning how to use blender at all, when i'm done properly weight painting for the armature too look more robotic i'll post a catbox of the file

>>25683389
Vanilla and Chocomint please

>>25688198
I've been losing way more sleep than I should on this. Being sick does not help. Anyway Starship Troopers is pretty basic to understand.

Anyone born and naturalized in Starfleet territory would be civilians. Civilians have civil rights and protections but they have very little influence in government. Citizens have privileges to influence government, namely the right to vote, the ability to hold public office, and the right to own a firearm. But citizens also have duties and responsibilities to that government such as being drafted to war when the time comes.

To become a citizen a civilian who has lived in Starfleet for more than 10 years must voluntarily perform service to Starfleet. Voluntary service to Starfleet includes both military service and civil service for those with varying degree of ability. A civilian who's disabled that cannot join the military can instead become a citizen by joining the postal service, the tax audit service, or the aeronautics engineering team as examples. Also citizens must have a clean criminal record or at least have their criminal records attoned. Citizens who commit felonies for example will be stripped of their citizenship and barred from their citizenship privileges.

Civilians do have property and privacy rights. Civilians can own a business. Civilians can build and own vehicles. Civilians cannot have their privacy breeched without due process. Civilians can live lives as we do today. However civilians do not have influence in the laws that govern their lands. Civilians can persuade their fellow citizens to vote on behalf of their community. But its up to the citizens who vote representatives in office.

I need a bit more time to figure how the offices work. But this is how Starship Troopers kind of did it. I think Sana is mericratic. She would want those most qualified in their positions to hold office in government rather than someone who doesn't know what they're doing. They also have to be elected by people that know what's best for everyone and will make sacrifices when the time comes.

Paper is fine, we dont have issues against any and all use of nature, we just prefer sustainable practices. Heck we even sell lumber to /who/

>>25690758
Nice.

>>25690758
Most of /nasa/'s paper is recycled. Mostly because trees take a long time and a lot of nutrients to grow in greenhouses. You can't grow lumber properly in greenhouses.

Congradulations anon!

I suppose what I can do is go into the politics of Starfleet as a whole. Though Starfleet political offices and territories expands across the entire galaxy. I'm wondering if I should tap into Starfleet space offices because /nasa/ is in another dimension. So we could hold an election for a Galactic President or something.

You know, this question has bugged me for some time however it is also deeply odd to ask...
While cunny priests are indeed a faction of Vitubia, do any nations actually have an age of consent?

>>25692444
Its 18 years old in /nasa/. However that only applies to Sanalites. It may vary with other nations when adulthood starts. And Sanalites are prohibited from having sex with natives, period.

>>25692444
Rosebutas are considered adults when they reach their maturity at ten years of age, but there's another ten years of servitude to the Theocracy used up before they're allowed to really do whatever they want to do with their lives. So, the age of consent would technically be ten years of age, but socially it's more like twenty years of age.
Well, that's for Tunnelhogs. Sunwalkers can do whatever at the age of ten because their society isn't nearly as rigid.

>>25691798
Thank you! I'm hoping tomorrow, Mori's ass can also be fat.

>>25692444
I imagine the national ruling would be on the younger side for /wg/ since we have our fair share of uoh-fags. Though individual towns/provinces would have the freedom to set it higher at their discretion.

>>25690624
I'll attach some lore to that original post when I got the time. Glad to know you approve of the names though

>>25694160
oh damn, I meant to mention this earlier, then forgor, but your pic reminded me; while on the subject of maps, we should also figure out where (if any) our lakes are
could be fun coming up with some spec evo for water-dwelling saplings too

>>25692444
Uh, i wonder, it would reasonably make sense for it to be 16 because that's the conscription age, but I'm inclined to make it 18 out of personal views, I'd need the help from the other hooman to properly decide on the answer.

Before I lay out plans I'm waiting for the other Sanalites input on government.

>>25695479

>>25695479
Deadbeats don't read, they act.

Age of consent in /risu/ would be 16 as I believe it is in Indonesia. I got mixed results when searching but it makes sense. Something I will say since it is a very important part of their culture is that sex education begins at the age of 12. Women of /risu/ are taught that but exchanging is the way of both genders and it is the duty of both men and women to taste each other's nuts as well as to ensure a future population. The idea of a 'slut' in risu is non existent. Both genders are just as open. Gender equality in sexuality, economics, political power, pretty much fucking everything.

So the past couple of /nasa/ threads I've been reading about how Sanalites have dreams of Sana and Hololive in general (myself included). Should I write this into Sanalite lore somehow?

>>25695075
In universe /who/ is kinda straight laced. And of course we don't have to follow historical precedents. So maybe make it 18 to consent to anyone who's older than 18, while 15 and above is subject to some kind of Romeo and Juliet law?

>>25684494
Nice. I want to see dentist hooman's collection..

>>25695614
Hello there. Age of consent in Indonesia appears to be 15 minimum. However, for some fucking reason you cant fuck until your 18 if your gay or lesbian. eh whatever. In /risu/ I say make it 15 and sex ed starts at 12 like you said. All risuners are nut connoisseurs after all so its important they learn this shit.

>>25695253
Its the way of the mountain top after all

I know talking about dreams is schizo shit. However we used to get predictions from oracles who tripped on shrooms all day. Does your country have seers or oracles?

>>25696387
Hell yes. Dreams are creativity from the spiritual realm.

>>25701755
Yep, they're the ones on charge.
>>25701820 has it right. The dreams and visions received by oracles make up the backbone of /wg/ society.

I'm trying to think of cold nuts I can grow in /nasa/. After some research It looks like walnuts, chestnuts, butternuts, Korean pinenuts, heartnuts (a Japanese nut /morig/ can grow on cold Mt. Mori), and American hazelnuts. These nuts would only be able to grow on the southern border. But all these nuts should grow in mid-Canada, which is what south /nasa/ is like.

>>25704527
Oh, these are cute as hell, nice find Sanallite! I'll look into us growing those...

Luknight Expedition to /risu/, Entry 5

Gaputan is a beautiful city. The trees are tall, but do not block the sea breeze. The Risuners are also growing on me, with their fluffy tails and quick nature. I have removed my gauntlets a few times to feel the fuzz of their tails with my own hands. The Risuners ask me to remove more; I admit, their country is much warmer than the Himedom, but I fear leaving my armor off will leave it vulnerable to theft by a crafty or ignorant Risuner. I should consult with the others to see if we could bathe in shifts, nanora.

Speaking of the others, Lady Toffy has been teaching some of the Risuners basic swordplay and armor use. Though the Risuner's land is rich in iron, alas, we did not bring any skilled Luknights of forge and fire. Thankfully, wooden armor shall suffice for training. The Risuners are passionate to learn, but their form is lacking, and I hope they will not injure themselves, nanora. Sir Sucre has taken the questionable task of satisfying the Risuners' requests for 'nuts', leaving his armor with me while the exchange is done. It feels very... Bunaito-ish, but after their repeated and persistent requests, I understand this may in our best interest as Luknights of diplomacy.

As for myself, I have been enjoying the company of the Kenzoku traders in the area, and the local establishments catering to them. They have much more experience in Risuner diplomacy than I, and had many useful insights. Being inside bars was also a great way to shake the many children following me around. Then again, I do like the children. I hope one day, they may visit the kingdom for more of the 'sweet nuts' I gave some of them.

Our next move seems clear. The Luknights of the other exploration party have suggested moving down the road to Kenkerto, after hearing rumors of a second race in this region, a race of time goddess worshippers. Winardi confirmed their existence to me, and in the interest of exploration, I believe we should continue in that direction.

Loyalty to Luna, Sir Sacchrin Plumdrop III

>>25707300
Was just about to go to bed then hit update and read this. Glad to see your still having fun with it. Well Kenkerto is pretty fun so ill get to it soon enough, maybe after the meat story.

Sapling here; from a writing meta standpoint, do y'all think it would be better to try to explain more about the dark patch of our deep forest, or just kind of always leave it as a mystery?
How heavily do we usually lean into the chuubanite science here?
>inb4 the magic is everything anons come out of the woodwork

Speaking of dreams, I had a dream a few days ago that I was reading a bootleg /vtwbg/ thread and started wondering where the real one went...

>>25708771
magic is everything anon is the risuner, honestly, you could probably just leave it as a mystery even if we do lean on the harder side fof the magic scale.

>>25708771
Chuubanite rules should be adhered to as much as possible to preserve some consistency between the different splits/threads' lore, imo.

>or just kind of always leave it as a mystery
Depends on the viewpoint you are writing the lore from, I guess. You can probably create more mystery by having vague descriptions of the deeper parts and writing a short story about said parts from a sapling's standpoint.

>>25708771
Mysteries are good, but it's up to you whether or not you explain it from a meta standpoint. I personally have it so /OBSY/ is a relatively unknown and mysterious nation in lore, but I've explained a lot of their real inner works outside of that. You can also choose to write it out for yourself and post it at a later date when you deem appropriate.
Also chuubanite is what "magic" is, if I remember right. Chuubanite is explained however much you want to explain it. Sometimes it just works, sometimes there's reason to it.
>>25708851
I had a nice dream about /vtwbg/ a while back too, there were other Rosebuds in the thread and they were all really excited to help me with /OBSY/. I wish they were real...

I don't know if I can explain all of Starfleet's political structures within one post but here goes.

The Intergalactic Terran Federation is an alliance of Terran (Earth Human) nations that claim territory throughout the galaxy. They travel the stars through a fleet of ships known as Starfleet. The capitol of the Terran Federation is their solar system of Origin: Sol. Their home planet is Terra (Earth). The Terran Federation has only colonized roughly 5% of the Galaxy. Colonization is slow as traveling between solar systems takes generations as it is impossible to travel faster than lightspeed.

Governments are divided based on solar systems. Each solar system has its own central station run by elected officials in a republic style election with electorial college. The EC is divided between "sectors" of the solar system. In the example of Sol, Terra and its moon, Luna, is one sector. Mercury and Venus is another sector. And Mars is its own sector due to being close to the asteroid belt. The sectors are also divided into sub-sectors. Sort of like how states are divided into counties in the US. They too have their own EC. And then from sub-sectors come states of the world, from states to provinces, provinces to counties, etc.

Each state has their own government which could be communist, representative republic, multicultural democracy, the EU clusterfuck, etc. Each state has to vote or appoint their representatives who then vote like ministers in the sub-sectors. And then sub-sectors vote their reps for sectors, who serve as councilors for the system. Obviously there are time limits and term limits for how long and how many times a councilor or representative can serve. These people are mostly legislators. There are also executors and judiciaries for varying levels of government that are voted on as well. So that's the federation but what about Starfleet?

Turns out I can't. Anyway about Starfleet. Starfleet too has their own representatives. However Starfleet travels between solar systems with centuries without contact. So they're not as influential in established government. Their main goals is to locate new solar systems and assess them for resources and living. Originally when Starfleet finds an inhabitable planet they begin colonizing that world for themselves. However after wars erupted over who gets to colonize the worlds and even destroying them Starfleet issues the Grand Directive. The Grand Directive is to prevent Terrans from exploiting the planets to their destruction. This also includes directives when handling sentient and sapient native species as well. Starfleet is broken down by classes of ships. You have the Colony, which is the biggest ship in the fleet holding most of the civilians. There are also smaller colonies that orbit the big colony called Orbiters. /nasa/ is suppose to be a orbiter class ship. That's why it survived impact. Then you have the Miners, ships that mine and transport resources in space to colonies for processing. Then you have Transport ships that transport resources from the Colony to other ships in the fleet. From there you have your military class ships. Your flagships, your carriers, your destroyers, fighters, bombers, etc. The military ships all are commanded in typical navy/space marine structure. The Colony, however, has its own government including lawmakers, executors, and judiciary.

The judiciary is the council. They interpret laws like judges. In the Colonies they are apponted by the Principal, who is chief executor and commander in chief of the Colony military. Orbiters also have their principals. However their councils are appointed by the Colony Principal. And then you have the Sector House of Commons and the Senate. They are voted in by theit colony's citizens. Council and Senate vote in laws that affect either the central colony or the orbiters. There are also local governments for sectors of the colonies that have their own voted reptesentatives and judges.

As for /nasa/ their Orbiter is jokingly named Space Austrailia. We're made from colonists who got kicked off the central colonie for being shitposting assholes. But we're useful and resourceful to the main colony. So they kept us around...

...At least until we encountered the inter-dimensional vortex. However that's for later.

No archive yet. Still pending review from other Sanalites.

>>25709444
>>25711193
Without FTL the colonies and established systems would be very autonomous with little to no trade between the systems & colonies, much less to Sol system. And due to the sheer distance, maybe it's better to have the grand directive be established ever since the first Starfleet was launched or immediately after the first Starfleet screwed up (and the federation had to nuke them or smth). Do the Sanalites have FTL communication though? How do they even receive broadcasts from Sana? Is Sana in Sol (or other) system or in the colony?

Hopefully these posts should give insight on how /nasa/'s government works on a top level. If they need to be revised then we can amend them.

>>25711682(me)
Scrap that. FTL communication is a bad idea. Not a Sanalite but it would be best if Sana is on the Colony imo.

>>25711682
I don't know. Anything FTL just gets shot down. I would assume not. And the governments are pretty autonomous for the most part. The top only steps in if something really bad happens like a way. That said /nasa/ probably got in so much trouble with the normalfag central colony with our shitposting that the colony doesn't care about rescuing us from the dimensional wormhole.

>>25711948
By now Sana has graduated from earth to live elsewhere in the universe. Her broadcast records were destroyed when Google was nuked by China. Yet somehow we're recieving her broadcasts again in this dimension. Can't explain why sadly.

>>25708771
as the others have stated, mysteries are fine, but having an internal logic behind it is good, too. luckily, our magic system is adaptable enough that i'm pretty sure most ends are possible as long as you are open to the means to achieve them.

One more thing about the Principal. The Principal is the chief executor of the station. He is also the administrator of /nasa/'s computers. He holds the master code, which could technically be overwritten with impeachment if found guilty by council. The master code is necessary to start the station's self-destruct sequence and lock downs if necessary. Everyone has some input in the computer system. As for the master code, in order to override the system the old code has to be retrieved. In the situation the old code is destroyed a new code can be made. However generating a new code would take about a year. So its more convenient to get the old code back. In the Orbiter the only other person who would have the master code is the Core Colony Principal. Either way the Principal is fucked for his shitpost of closing down the colony.

I think that's enough /nasa/ lore dumps. When they get approved by other Sanalites I'll request an anchor. I'll at least keep this tab open. Even if thread archives.

>>25695125
Oh boy, seems I have shit to read, thanks Principal. Also, get your fucking ass to bed, you are still sick, aren't you. I'm serious, I will start a war if you don't take some time off to rest. Jeez, it's like I'm babysitting again...

>>25713473
I'm almost over it. Today I had a clear head. So I was able to write some things down. Hoping thread doesn't die before the stuff I wrote gets approved. And I'm going to be rewriting the meeting again later.

>>25713964
>And I'm going to be rewriting the meeting again later.

What did I just fucking say? Get me the Hoomans on the phone right now, I got nuclear weapon blueprints I want to sell for a beer and a kebab.

>>25714095
How nice!

>>25714095
You called?

>>25708771
As other anons said, I'd say leave it up to the thread. Risuners stay very high level with their magic, /meat/ and /morig/ have whole entries just on the physiological interactions of their chuubanite. It's whatever you prefer, as long as stuff isn't too broken it's probably fine.

>>25709188
Rosebud, that dream breaks my heart. I watch a lot of Selen, but I never go on /OBSY/, maybe I should start to so I have an excuse to cross-general worldbuild.

>>25714095
There's some mistakes in the entry that don't quite match up with the current lore. If I'm not rewriting the whole thing then I'll have to edit it at least to clean it up.

>>25714148
>>25714149
>>25713964
You see this? I only have to mention it and I can give /nasa/ a forced vacation till this project is over. Don't test me, I ain't called Cunt Sanallite for nothing.

But really, get some rest, your health is more important than this shit. I have a brother that ignores rest just like you, trying to juggle college, a job and a farm, and yea, he does get shit done, but I don't remember when was the last time I saw him during the weekend because je sleeps for almost 2 days straight.

>>25714204
as far as balancing goes, use other threads to figure out if it's too broken or not.

>>25714414
Can I at least edit the entry tomorrow like I said >>25714414 ?

>>25714597
Yes, tommorow, and not a fucking second earlier, you hear?!

My tomorrow is earlier than your tomorrow. I live in CDT time.

>>25714849
Tomorrow doesn't begin until about 5 AM in Animal Crossing. So tomorrow starts after 5 AM. Want to make it a two-week ban Principal? Go to bed now.

>>25708771
Other sapling here, personally I like the idea of having our lore told through the expedition of other factions like /who/ or the risuners who seem excited to explore. The mysteries surrounding the inner forest could be explained due to the fact no explorers make it out of such a deep level alive

bump limit soon, dead hours soon, too. should we make a new thread or wait until the dead hours are over? it might be smarter to wait.

>>25716424
As an adendum, I'd like to keep the deep forest as vague as possible. While newer outer-layer saplings can only speculate with tribalistic tapestry and paintings of what could lie deep within as only the most ancient of saplings and the Kirin that possibly exist are entrusted with the Forests deepest secrets within the Cradle.
