More 4 AM debating, though I rally should have better hours for sleep. I think I've narrowed things down to something fairly traditional to more closely align with /qst/ sensibilities.

However, I am one for trying new things, but regardless of the intent it's going to have to be lighter than I would think I'd need. Chuubanite by itself is headache inducing (even if I am slowly getting a hold of it), while tech can be formalized under the "Whatever works items don't mean anything lmao" category.

Though I was looking at some odd JTRPGs, maybe I can fid something that accounts for what I'm looking for. There is an answer somewhere, so much little things to consider, not enough time to think about it between streaming. Sleep time.

As I'm here, how important is your culture when defining a person? I would assume its fundamental, but reading the bits and pieces there appears to be some diversity in character. Perhaps Ironclaw of all things is the place too look . . .

https://rentry.org/vtwbg-vnuglore#steam-bathhouse
It isn't really anything rooted in thread culture (although the 1st alternate outfit is for summer activities that won't really be a thing otherwise in /vnug/), but I think it's a logical extension given the environment, and it kind of spiralled from there

The poll for selecting anthems will be held soon, so keep an eye out for that! And a big thank you to everyone for those lovely chant submissions. This gives me a lot of material to work with. As deadlines grow closer, more and more details are being finalized, so if you guys have any ideas or requests then be sure to shout them out and we'll do our best to accommodate the thread's preferences.

>>30641641
That will have a lot of variance. Many countries basically share a baseline "Human" that doesn't deviate from the international average that much. A bunch of the holo countries, most of the niji nations as well fit in that category. Here the culture might affect things like what sorts of skills an individual might have. Other countries deviate quite a lot from this standard on a physical level, such that it would probably be reflected in its stats. I'd say when defining a character, their culture is the most important thing to set, given the impact it can potentially have.
Can I help in any way with tech or chuubanite? I've been enjoying your little 4 AM updates.

>>30641540
we were based on vikings, aztecs, pirates, and huns. we have focused more on vikings and aztecs, but idk. the video was based on a famous mongol warrior that was seen as a force of nature, essentially, so the song described the rule of natural law, and how it overpowers the lesser rule of man, and since our philosophy is based on the life cycle, i figured that was fitting.

>>30637052
You did an amazing job, Cunt. In fact, I've decided to immortalize this beautiful work of art as a soundpost for all to enjoy.

i am conflicted, as on one hand i find it funny to see cunt in an embarrassed state, but on the other hand, imagine how much more embarrassing it is for the sucker that made the post everyone is mocking in the first place. with that said, i can endure and even enjoy the embarrassment, especially if cunt is there to take it with me. we'll be partners, nay, buddies in our discomfort, cunt. lol

Somehow, you being a /meat/head makes this ellipsis ominous...

>>30643207
cunt does an excellent job making himself sound like a proffessor, or one of those really charismatic audiobook narrators doesn't he. just wanted to say, while writing this i accidentally missed the t and hit y instead while typing his name. do with that info as you will.

>>30643467
But he's not a shota

>>30643540
i know, which is why i said to do with it as you will.

>>30641189
I was imagining something more like Blood of Bannockburn or Coat of Arms if I were to keep it to Sabaton, at least lyrically. The mid section of Devil Dogs works too though.
Good morning by the way. Have I missed anything? (besides the original song I'm going to give a listen to in a minute)

>>30643417
That sounds delicious! I could really go for some dumplings now...

>>30643467
As someone whose dream was to be a history professor, this makes me really happy, actually.
But also, please, stop talking about it. Please...

>>30643591
Oh right, Blood of Bannockburn! Would have went for that one if Devil Dogs didn't come up in the playlist first. Also, I don't think you missed much, last thread was just a lot of vocaroos towards the end.

>>30643610
they're going to talk about it when it's in the divegrass chant.

fucking hilarious how one of the smarter anons here panon sounds like a fun tv host while cunt sounds like a professor. just goes to show, voices decieve.

>>30644143
Some of those are estimate, Eu3, Eu rome, civ 4 medieval 2 and rome one.

But one of the main reasons is i used them to tell autistic stories and played them as such. I spent more time messing with save files than playing games, especially CK2

Hey fantasy games are good for world-building inspirations. Especially MHW, I can see why you took an interest in Spec. Biology.

>>30644281
Don't worry, I can handle the maptism at least. It's a bit less than him for anything that isn't ck2 and probably eu3, especially since I don't really play hoi or that much total war. And don't worry, you can certainly help out on the more fantastical side of world building

>>30640756

>>30641641
I assume that a d10/limited dicepool would be similar to WoD/CofD? I'd generally urge to go in that direction because of probability distribution autism. These kinds of systems also handle power disparities fairly well, unlike simpler single-dice/double-dice systems, where modifiers are king. I'd recommend generality rather than simplicity.

Since this thread is primarily focused on building nationalities and cultures, I'd say that it is quite defining. You could even split it into multiple parts to allow people to have more leeway when designing cross-thread characters or to have several characters from the same culture not feel too similar.
>>30641732
This works very well! Now I'm reminded of my Finnish friends. Perhaps try to expand on the custom by tying it to a national celebration, or its health consequences (since saunas are, in the end, proper public sanitation)?

Hello, what did i miss. everyone attacking me, i am not sure how this even works fyi. can you wait...i saw infinity, 2434, and morig already planning shit when I don't even have it set up properly.

>>30648493
Don't worry about that, they should give you time to set up. It's not a truly hostile action, it's more of a collaboration with describing how the war goes.

>>30648493
unless you did some grand statement when you came in i doubt its too real? probably jsut shitposting since /inf/ and /2434/ are more rivals and not working together that easily

>>30648680
Watamelon's arrival was the definition of a grand statement and a declaration of jihad against the infidels.

Good morning!

>>30649004
yeah, that kind of provocation does make one enemies in the world

>>30648989
so our trade league is not happening anymore?

>>30649173
Ok. First, I want to hear exactly what infinity thinks will happen, what morig thinks will happen and what 2434 thinks will happen. I need to know this because obviously this isn't a game so i want your feedback. Don't assume that you can just roll me over either, needs to make sense.

>mep is french
>watamelon is arabic
Oh shit!
It's French Algeria!

>>30649267
I am not sure, Retrosenpai. I actually do not understand how it benefits us that much unless I am sure what you and others have to offer because if you have the same thing as me, its worthless. Understand?

>>30649269
I am just waiting for them and you. I don't expect this to be easy at all, in fact, I think i will have to commit a good amount of ships from the Red Dragon Fleet to execute anything.

>>30649408
I understand your fleet the best because you actually gave numbers. The Black Fleet is an enigma as is Infinity. What time do each one of you plan as well?

>>30649342
well we still got our trade agreement anyway so for us 2 towards each other not much would have changed anyway, thought the league was more for having some friendly ties between more nations as to not be isolated by the alivian league

>>30649525
Yeah, I think a better idea from now on with navies is to not just state "we have a large navy" but show actually numbers so naval autists like me can think of it being actually realistic.

>>30649598
I disagree. Historical accuracy and number autism hinder these types of creative writing. You can write them internally for your own stories.

>>30649569
Retrosenpai, this is not me being obtuse but I really need to know the exact goods your nation produces because I have been struggling to make sense of trade as a whole with finances. For example, if we produce the same thing, idk if free trade helps me at all. But it benefits us if we make different products mutually. Understand? I am not getting rid of the idea but rather wanting to know how this is going to work out on a marco level....

>>30648869
What do you feel about creating a research coalition between magic/esoteric focused nations like /meat/, /infinity/, and /risu/?
It's not an economic or militaristic alliance, but a joint research.
1. Each member is allowed to freely share their manpower across the coalition.
If /meat/ is researching something, we can invite mages, thaumatologists, scholars, from the coalition members.
And vice versa.
2. In return, every discovery made is state secret only shared amongst coalition members AND can only be shared through vote of confidence.
3. Vote of confidence; Even if a country is a member of the research coalition and contributed to the completion of breakthroughs and findings, a voting must be made should whether they get to use it. Just in case some members arent confident the knowledge will stay secret or misused.

>>30649671
Even if you do not want to be realistic, it is still a good idea to have actual numbers on this. Think of it this way, an enemy army invades your nation but you have no clue what their size is. This isn't a war simulator, its just makes things easier to understand.

>>30649701
If you two produce the same thing, then it might still be viable to trade if there's a difference in quality, price, or availability. That being said if one nation produces a product far cheaper than the other, then the domestic market for that product in the other nation will be suppressed by the foreign good, but it will be available in greater quantity at a lower price.

>>30649569
The Ailivian league is not there to isolate you, you are free to have individual trade agreements with any of the members

>>30649816
I know this, this is why I am asking.

>>30649781
Precisely because this is not a war simulator, numbers are not needed. What you actually need is the narrative strengths and weaknesses of invading forces. Do they have good discipline? Small numbers with low possibility of reinforcements? Are their officers overly traditional? Do they have good cavalry or unique units? These kinds of things matter much more than concrete numbers, because they shape the war and the engagements. I'm not saying that both sides should go in blind, just that concrete numbers are not needed.

>>30649598
if you want to be an autist about this to the miniscule detail than fine but forcing this onto others is shit, i am not telling you how to write your stuff either.

>>30649701
same to you alice, i am not here to make indepth economic reports, its jsut not what i am in for it. the things i have listed in my lorestuff is what i have decided on, rest is more fluid. we also produce lots of retro stuff.
also sicne our trade deal is in regards to each others continent i cannot tell you what the other nations have since they are pretty much all repless and i am not infringing on other nations lore for this.

>>30649919 (me)
I also should state that I'm generally against concrete numbers simply because after someone comes into the thread and sees those numbers, nothing is stopping them from one-upping the others. They sadly lead to an eternal escalation of those kinds of things, as usually is in realism, since you don't want for your nation to be weak, you want for them to be at least average... but due to how averages work, it always pushes everything further and further.

>>30649919
Concurring, even if I would like to give my in universe nation a set number in a given time frame, what matters most is the qualitative factors, the culture, organization, and hardware each nation's armed forces have. Not everyone is writing a decade spanning saga. Overall numbers are less important when you are writing a single story, which most anons would most likely be doing.

>>30649919
You don't actually disagree with me. I have no problem with rough estimates and the other stuff. Concrete numbers are nice but effectively Watamelon is blind when it comes to the Black Fleet even in a rough sense.
>>30650024
>nothing is stopping them from one-upping the others.
I agree. Do you get where I am coming from, maybe I worded it wrong but a rough estimate is all that is needed for Watamelon imo.

Why does no one ask me to clarify instead of jumping on me. Actual numbers in ancient warfare were estimates. I worded it wrong, but that's what I meant.

>>30649961
why are you being an asshole to me when i just asked a question. i just want to know what goods you make. and sorry, i forgot that you had this in your lore.

We dont need numbers! We have nukes!! NUKES! our witches can summon a megaspell nuke and kill everyone!

>>30650249
i am not being an asshole to you, i simply stated that i cannot give you a full on list of exact goods and why that is.

Do y'all really jump on a man for just offering his idea that he thinks makes sense? my goodness, everyone is so jumpy. Well, some of you are fine, but kind of rude to imply shit and say "i don't tell you how to write".

>>30650328
>if you want to be an autist about this to the miniscule detail than fine but forcing this onto others is shit, i am not telling you how to write your stuff either.
This isn't to me, but when you say "same to you alice" you are implying I am forcing shit on others over miniscule details.

>>30650351
You don't get it, he does this all of the time and is an arrogant asshole.

>>30650466
Sure mate, I can read what he writes just as well as anyone else and have lurked for a while.

>>30650542
Are you referring to the numbers argument? I thought it was civil.

>>30650412
maybe i worded it stronger than i intended for it to come off towards you two

but you two fine? you seem a bit on edge. did something happen the last few days?

Well, regardless of the typical argument I see here Which is why I do not talk a lotand sometimes don't come here. I am waiting for Moriji and Infinity rn.
>>30650574
This wasn't civil at all.
>>30649961

>>30650633
Pls be patient, he's German

>>30650600
Besides the usual nonsense and a schizo shitting on both me and him constantly yesterday and the day before. I am not that upset nor on edge.... it was just kind of shocking to see you escalate what was me trying to makes sense of my money into me being overbearing to you.

For me, I would do to Watamelon like what I did to my most hated enemy in Civ V
>Conquer all of their lands save for 1 city
>Surround that city with my border
>Use Great Generals to construct fortresses near their final city, chipping away at their borders
>Repeat until they're left with a one tile city surrounded by forts
>DOW them once every few years, nuke them, then sue for peace. Repeat

https://rentry.org/lusitania
i have done more, tell me how i did.

>>30650785
Please refrain from shitposting until bump when Watarep wants a honest discussion.

so me giving my army and naval numbers is bad? fuck, i thought it made more sense to just state that because i have faith in other anons not to get into a number war.

>>30650892

>>30650831

>>30650938
It's not necessarily bad, just not necessary.

>>30650938
Not really, just the idea that everyone should give a number. But even that is just a relative. Write your nation however you want as long as it makes sense, is fun, and serves the main goal of this project which is to represent splits/generals on /vt/ as low-fantasy countries.

>>30650831
Good, it is more organized and fleshed out. You are doing a great job on it.
>>30650938
While I do agree with the sediment here
>nothing is stopping them from one-upping the others.
It is your discretion whether or not to do this. I would do this, for example, just for myself. Not everyone needs exact details, but you are free to do it.

>>30651032

kek, did Infinity just stop in and leave. Well, I have what Moriji has and I will prepare shit on my end. I saw their new weapons, we obviously do not know of them and I am not sure how effective they are against wooden ships anyways unless I missed something.

>>30650782
then i apologize if my tone came off as attacking.

but i do hope you can understand that i cannot give you something as the thing you asked for sicne that is outside of my expertice and i also cannot provide infos about repless nations other than one can assume that they have "goods worth trading for". as for the Retro Reich, we trade across the globe so we can pretty much get anything that is available somewhere that is closer to us than for you to a cheaper price.

as for Panon what i meant was that i do not like the idea of restricting what new reps can declare for their nation in any way just because they do not want to deepdive into the subject or have lack of knowledge on. while i would be happier if not every nation simply states "yeah we also got one of the largest navies" i also do not want to take such an option away.
>show actually numbers so naval autists like me can think of it being actually realistic.

>>30651294
My point had more to do with two enemies engaging more than anything. A rough estimate is a good idea, if nothing more.

>>30649269
For infinity - I want Watamelon to attack our western porn on Risu, meaning it'd be on the far end, so it takes awhile for us to respond with a naval force. This is the introduction to our cavalry / ranger / rough rider unit stationed in Risu as well, as they will be the first to hold the line and not let Watamelon forces advance part the port. But the jihadists still capture the port itself and enslave Risuners and kill the Kronies there. The local navy and militia blockade it so that Watamelon can't escape with the slaves, but they're also not strong enough to take the fort even with the rangers helping.

Finally, our inquisitor navy officer arrives with a small fleet and after a gruelling battle, they scatter the terrorists and free the slaves. But the terrorists escape into the woodland / jungle, and it's clear they would be attacking the region repeatedly in the future and would be a long time problem.

How does this sound?

>>30651392
>attack our western porn on Risu

>>30651392
Ok so what are the local naval forces? If we are attacking Ceres, it would be a larger force on our end don't you think?

>>30649598
If Infinity have ship building facilities on its own shores, in Risu, in Matiyotl, and in Nasfaqg, how big realistically do you think our navy is? I don't want the biggest one mind you, mostly defensive and reactive forces.

>>30649754
I am HIGHLY interested in this!! This could also be how we develop "that".

>>30651464
I'd like for all of you to pay attention to how far "t" and "n" are on the keyboard, implying sheer finger muscle memory kicked in.

>>30651524
Develop what? Risu?

>>30651479
Around the size of Mep although may be smaller in favor of quality if you think so. (This is a large fleet fyi) No need to get into the detials like he did either. https://rentry.org/kingdomofoiseau#ships-of-the-line

>>30651464
>>30651535
Fucking swipe keyboard bullshit...
>>30651470
Yes, local forces especially naval forces are small in number, it's literally just enough to blockade the port under threat of cannon fire but the Watamelon forces are about to break through anyway, like a day or two from blowing up the blockade as the inquisitors finally show up. We're barely holding on in that fight before the main force arrives, and even then we still don't get to annihilate the enemy.

>>30651392
What year is this, I need to know for my own work with OGsuner.

>>30651706
Well, if they are small, just out of speculation, why would we have any trouble with them? Ceres is a major target after all so if we really wanted to attack it we would send at least 20 warships if not more.

>>30651592

>>30651593
>rentry is down
Thank you tho! I have the mep file open at home. a large fleet huh... Yeah, we probably have a quality over quantity deal.

Moriji, whenever you are avaliable, I would like to discuss things with you.

>>30651356
yeah this seem to have been a misunderstanding, i just honestly also think that too much detail can sometimes actually kill creativity

if i may move this from war to economics and use the lusitania rentry that was psoted jsut now, it lsits the following for farming:

>fishing, cattle, horses, dyes, cotton, Rice, Yam, coffee, banana, mango, papaya, macadamia, avocado, sugarcane, maize, beans, black pepper, Umbuzeiro, ginger, peas, cucumbers, capsicum, mustard, carrots, tomatos, garlic Abiu, açaí, acerola, alligator-apple, apple, atemoya, bacaba, bacuri, biriba, blueberry, brazil plum, brazil nut, breadfruit, cajá, camu camu, cantaloupe, cashew, citrus (orange, lemon, lime, etc.), coconut, cupuaçu, fig, guava, grapes, jambo, jocote, kiwi, mangaba, mangosteen, mulberry, muruci, nectarine, passionfruit, patawa, peach, pear, pequi, persimmon, physalis, pineapple, pine nuts, plum, rambutan, raspberry, sapodilla, sapote, sorva, soursop, starfruit, strawberry, tucuma, walnut, and watermelon

i personally think this is a very soulless list of stuff just for the sake of nothing really, this tells me nothing about the nation at all, with such a list there is no way to say "oh yeah cool, this is the specialty of the nation and what they use as basis for their food." and honestly with such an extensive list it is even hard to consider what of that even is tradeable because no nation should be able to have so many varied goods on a level worth for trade, or even across its own nation available for people.

>>30651919
I'll just tell you numbers
>26 ships of the line
>30 frigates
>22 corvettes
>10 brigs
>30 galleys
>>30651942
Which is why I ask anons to just ask me to clarify.

>>30651919
>>rentry is down
again? did we archive everything from there already?

>>30651722
1119... iirc, kek. It should be the year Demeter was established as a city.
>>30651780
If I'm being honest, I just need a reason why Watamelon doesn't succeed in running off with the enslaved Risuners before the inquisitors can stop them lmao. Any suggestions? Maybe you guys actually make off with the slaves and Infinity has to promise Risu to get them back... But I'd have to ask OG.

>>30651942
i know it is souless, i need a map and topography done. that was me copying and pasting to get shit on there. its not about trade, more for me getting it down.

>>30651981
Isn't this fleet just 1/2th the size of 2434?

>>30652022
Better idea, you catch two xebecs near a small fishing village not on map and stop them there.

>>30652054
Yes but there are factors to that as well that are detailed on 2434's naval page.
TL;DR, Mep has a stronger modern army, 2434 doesnt, naval tradition and ship building tradition, 2434 is focused on the sea more, and makes more money.

>>30652022
Ok, this works out just fine then considering we started in 1120.

>>30652150
Oh, the numbers were for /mep/.

>>30651919
Consider what your navy's objectives are, and its naval history. Is it dominated by steam vessels or are you still in a phase where pure sailing vessels are slowly being replaced by newer ones? Or are you converting all the old sailing vessels to newer ones, so although your navy hasn't expanded in numbers, its quality in some areas had increased? Is there a threat your country is anticipating? Ships do take some time to build, espically the seasoning process.

>>30652150
we are planning on modernizing army but it will lead to problems with the traditionalists.... maybe civil war.

I guess I will work with alice since Moriji isn't here. What are you planning to do?

>>30652054
2434 is the southern naval superpower to my knowledge, so that makes sense!
>>30652078
That's a great idea! Thank you!
>>30652150
I imagine then Infinity has an even more modern / advanced one considering the tech, so I'm not opposed to it smaller than Mep, as long as it's not so small it can be steamrolled

>>30652371
i originally thought about bombing cities but a naval battle in like 1115 would be cool!!!!!

>>30652388
You won't. Even if they have greater numbers, they can't use all of those ships at once.

>>30652410
a big one? That could be fun. I am on board.

>>30652534
OK!!! I will start writing now.

Also the first draft of /haha/'s religion is complete!!!! Some other things are going to change as well!!! https://rentry.org/haha-religion

>>30655576
Excellent, Kind of like the tone here more than Morigs. You did us nicely and gave me a interesting man in al-Hamid. I am not sure what I am supposed to do.

Added the food menu post to /mans/ main rentry, I think it's largely still accurate with maybe slight changes to needing ti be made regarding the more Mediterranean west. I think I'll add some stuff to the other prompts too once I've done my grocery shopping

>>30656127
ehh...the deadbeat did a better job at setting the scene and dialogue. I just made it better, but I cannot write like they can...

Hey Kronie! New chapter soon!
Here's a tooze, plus some minor updates
https://rentry.org/hidhh

>>30652208
It's actually mostly sailing ships, with flag ships of trading fleets being steamboats, and warships being steam powered as well.
>>30652456
Good to know!
>>30657491
Oh shit, I'm excited! I'll read the update when I get home.

>>30648984
I gotchu, added you to my (unofficial) version of the audio:
https://files.catbox.moe/p3lkli.wav
Though it may not sound like it, you're in there! The more voices that are added in, the harder it is to distinguish one from another.

Uhh actually what are the blue and red arrows in the ocean climate map? Do they represent Easterlies and Westerlies? If so do the black arrows represent ocean currents?

>>30660706
Whoops *Ocean current

>>30646433

Ok what did i miss fuckers. Can finally use my PC to post again after jannies told me no ERP with saplings anymore.

How advanced are Risuner meals? Does /risu/ have mills to grind acorns into four? Or does Risuners fire roast everything over an open flame?

>>30660706
>>30661084
https://rentry.org/rvqz9

>>30662961
open flame, also risuners can just crack open nuts with their teeth if that matters.

>>30662727
Huugggu!!!

>>30663014
I know, just want confirmation on what the colors mean. I just assumed, when I first looked at the map that the colored arrows are hot and cold currents while the semi-transparent background arrows are the wind.

>>30662727
Just waiting on your side of our story mate.

>>30663227
or you can tell me who the high council of Risu is (Like what is the formal name of your nation anyways) and I can continue.

>>30663179
that's correct

/risu/ still does not have an in-universe name

>>30663227
>>30663301
stop trying to ruin lore. i know you want to flip risu to your side newfag but it aint happening.

>>30663315
So this >>30662961?

>>30663024
It does. Same with chumbuddies eating raw shellfish after cracking them with their claws and /meat/heads eating people. Also depending on the nut it may or may not taste better when cooked. For seasonings I think Risuners got salt, crushed pepper, pressed nut oil, and herbs and spices. Pretty sure Risuners got stone tools to crush and grind things.

>>30663519
yeah pestle and mortar would be obvious. I think its very fair to say that risuners would know which nuts are better cooked. Herbs and spices would be in obvious abundance because SPEED GROWTH PLANTS and such.
>>30663227
im just reading through the rest of the thread i missed (which honestly isnt too productive given socposting and trolls etc.) but i like doing it just so i dont miss actual worldbuilding. Ill post it soon. I think hoomans are also waiting on Jayawans adventure? And I am waiting on retrobro who I saw is back (WELCOME BACK BOI)! Ok enough of that let me finalize everything before posting and hope that hiromoot doesn't think im spamming for some reason.

>>30663717
There's also this. https://youtu.be/C37XNilNIJc

>>30664044
Risuners are SEA inspired so mortar and pestle would be more suitable. Also metate is used to grind seeds so I don't think the Risuners would develop it or other stone grinding tools similar to it.

There are three generations of writers
1. The Founders (Jan - Mar)
2. World Expansion (Apr- June)
3. Panon Generation (July - Now)
Sure we have namefags and tripfags now but.... Gen I was surreal. We only got anons like
Founderkun
/meat/bro
Lunaito
Climeatanon
Archiveronie
Nasfaqronie
Nuefag
Significant events like
Creation and collage of maps
Unironic /meat/ cult

If I remember right, I believe I joined around March? I could be wrong, but if so then that's pretty cool.

I joined in the very first thread, posting anonymously. Made one of the first land claims and national rundowns, glad I'm not listed as a namefag here.

>>30664757
Having more anons and countries represented is good but I still kinda miss the earlier threads, those were comfy as hell.

>>30664887
>>30664894
>It's not even a year and the project has seen three distinct subcultures
What the fuck?! How is everything mutating so fast?!

>>30665099
Once a general gets big, it will attract schizos and trolls
Sadly even us

>>30665099
It also had to do with the fact that more people were contributing anonymously. Their contributions weren't always as detailed, but the very early threads were exciting and had a lot of diversity until the /inf/ bullying Nue off the project.

https://rentry.org/Maumigny
OGsuner, I have Chapter 3 done!!!!

Remember when neufag said "it's borgin time" and borged on all those kronies

Just checked and apparently I joined around early February as a /meat/head, then transitioned to /rose/ rep in late February. It's strange to think of myself as one of the oldest reps here, but hey there you go.

>>30665217
Nue was also unreliable even before the Borg Cube saga
He was haphazardly putting borders just to get it done. Every country is as big as France and Germany, requests for microstates were shot down because he needs to 'fill up the map'
Biomes and climates were also disregarded
Coco? Thrown to the arctic
Watame? Thrown to the desert
Only now we're slowly cleaning up his mess

>Panon Generation
I came in Mid-June FYI, Pic Related. it's my band.

i was the guy who said something like "i wonder how a society based on human resources would operate" or something.

>>30664757
Oh god
Im scared for how this place will mutate after October

>>30665312
this is such a bad depiction of Risuners, Infinity and makes your guys look too good. Fuck off newfag.

>>30665389
Historical revisionism again... he was necessary because we have hit a standstill and everyone was collectively shitting their pants while zoning autism deadlocked any progress. He wasn't ideal but Kronies were 100% guilty there.

>>30665607
t. (You)

>>30665448
Oh you didn't know? I've been one for a rather long time now.
>>30665532
I believe I was the one who suggested things like flesh lamps and skull cups and other everyday objects made from human parts. I'm actually not sure if I ever shared those thoughts, but if they're there then it was definitely me. I wonder if I can find any of my old /meat/head ideas, hm.

>>30665619
The only thing I can say is the borders look purposely draw to be as jagged as possible, not that Borders like that don't exist, but it just looks odd. Not to mention questionable placements regarding HoloID. But that's it.

>>30665714
>flesh lamps and skull cups
i remember that. didn't we talk about that in the /meat/ thread?

>>30665738
Oh, definitely. The borders are meh, and there were weird placements here and there, but I'd like to share one of the early thread maps.
This was not a professional projects. The nice maps and borders came later.

>>30665831
Yeah. It was overly edgy. No offense to Roseanon

I said it before but I came during inf protectorate/canal arc. Can confirm rose sexpai has been here longer than me. Also im fucking done with both the next /who/ log and the first of what will be a few /mep/ logs. So in mere minutes those will be here

>Skullcups
Nothing meat about that, it's just a badass way of humiliating an enemy King.

>>30665860
When did you guys realized there should be more than one continent?

Commodus log ch 1.

Ok, WHAT THE FUCK! These guys first off invade our land, chop down our beautiful trees, build a huge fort, and then start slaughtering us when we try to fight back. If it had not been for the fact that they took care of me after i lost my damn eye and told me their plan I would have been running for our allies to exterminate these guys. But I guess my fate in this world is not to do that and if I am to trust these guys then I guess they are here to help us.

It would have been nice if they could have told us this BEFORE building a big fort in our land but I guess they somehow fucked up in sending translators. And yet this dude calls himself a "professional". Maumigny seems like an earnest guy and he did say that the fort would not only define the border better but also scare away the terrorist assholes so I am willing to give him a chance. And heck it become ours after all the fighting is over so that's pretty cool.

I think the only logical explanation would be to have a long talk with Maumigny after he explains himself. I will demand the following questions be answered. He will have my cooperation if he can do this and provide some form of compensation to some of the families affected.

1. Why did you not send more translators that did their jobs correctly
2. Why did you not surrender and explain the situation BEFORE building a huge fucking fort
3. Even if you were being attacked, why the FUCK did you not just surrender and explain the situation and motive

I just don't know what to think. One side of me wants to be hopeful. I can rise the ranks of risuner society massively and we can end the terrorist slavers forever if this plan is real. But if it is not real then I am not only allowing the terrorists in here to enslave everyone but also a huge fuck off foreign army with cannons. I simply can not allow that possibility to happen.
After a whole night to think about this and some counseling from my friends back home I decided on this current course of action. First off and above all else I will evacuate ANY risuners living south of the fort to move north of them and establish the fort location to be the official national boundary. We will avoid any confusion and better define our borders as well as hopefully protecting the families in those villages. Next I will send some scouts over to all around the country and to our allies to be ready for impending invasion. If the fancy people want to move even an inch further into our territory I will have everyone on the ready to repel them back.

For now the plan is to befriend them and act as if I am on their side. I really am on their side but I'll be damned if I don't have a contingency plan. Send a few gifts and see how the relationship develops. As well as making sure those 3 questions get answered. Risu protect me for I am making the greatest decision of my life and it may lead to either a beautiful friendship or our countries downfall.

>>30665831
We did, if I remember right. A bit of a messy business, my old attempts.
>>30665909
Oh I know, I'm fully aware of that. Overly edgy stuff like that are a guilty pleasure of mine, truth be told. Takes me a lot of effort to hold that cringe back sometimes.

>>30666022

>>30666126
Oh I didn't realize that, actually. Oh I've got a funny idea, what if we called it the WAR generation? That's when all the talk about conflict started cropping up, at least.

>>30640706
Jayawan logs ch.5

I WAS WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING! THIS PLACE IS ACTUALLY FUCKING AMAZING!
Ok so holy fucking shit it just seems that the port city was the area that did not have a lot of fun activities around, especially with us limiting ourselves to our own ships and a few local inns. The scouts told me of these areas specifically designed for the amusement of the people with strange metal contraptions that reminded them of kronie technology.

We went a bit further inland and encountered a few towns. They were a mix of nice and a few of them a bit racist but of course not everyone is perfect. In general the reception was a pretty positive. What shocked the rest of the crew is what the hoomans call "fairgrounds". They somehow make these giant metal waterfalls with things for you to sit in and it was so much fun! Suddenly the crew was very excited to be here.
They had all sorts of fun games and little huts where they had sweet food kind of like what the luknights had. We had so much fun that we even almost spent all our nuts on this one specific park that had a lot of delicious food. The guys there were really happy with us but I sadly had to put a stop to everyone's fun so we didn't bankrupt ourselves. Hamdani and Enoch would have been pissed if they found out we spent all our nuts on games.

Beside all the fun games they were things to do like what they call a theater. Some lady told me that the theater sucked but I said that surely it couldn't have been that bad. Well it wasn't bad but it took too damn long and most of the crew that came with me fell asleep. We were much more interested in their zoos. They have animals from all over the place even other nations including a big deadbeat one. They didn't have too much from us though but that is to be expected. The boss man asked us if we ever come back to bring an executor goose.
The hoomans also party it up in the streets sometimes, and in their bars they love to party but they fight a lot so we stayed away from there. I will admit that spending most of the time in the fun park was probably not the best use of time and research but GOD DAMMIT IT WAS FUN! I'll have to make sure the other two don't see this log or I am fucked. And not in the good way.

Last thing. Apparently the port city is just as cool with their festivals we just arrived right after they were done with one. So combination of bad timing and me being a nut brain. Oh well, at least we can "explore the culture" of the hoomans now and not be bored. I need to go learn how they make these water things. For research of course.

>>30665981
When other anons decided to generate better maps than something a random continent generator churned out. Then people stitched a couple of proposed maps together to create a frankenstein map which looked horrible, and eventually some anon re-made it into the contemporary map.

>>/vt/thread/S16710105
Here's the very first thread. You can see a /nasfaqg/ incursion early on, a fair bit of those people stayed without disclosing their allegiances sometimes. And other stopped posting after either the /inf/ drama, horny posting, or namefag saga.

>>30666126
Just call it the Niji generation since we just had Rosebud beforehand.

>>30666199
Not yet. This first one is meant to be Commodus initial reaction. I was planning on developing the relationship as time went on but for now....yeah he is skeptical as fuck. I saw in the end of ch2 that things get better but I thought it would make sense for that to go in my chapter 2.

>>30666305
Call it whatever, Panon Generation is my band. Just don't use my name in it because that doesn't do justice to everyone else.

>>30666126
>>30666196
Well alternatively we can just call it the Niji wave, since the biggest impact is that almost all Niji threads have writers now.

>>30666347
Why did he think we would surrender? kek, Commodus is more smart than that in my mind.

meanwhile in an alternate reality

Shit i love Maumigny, such a badass and funny dude mixing language together because he is too proper.

>>30665860
Man, that brings me back. I was preparing to post this just as someone started to piece together the current map

>>30666126
his arrival marked the beginning of a massive influx of other anons, namely the niji crowd. i'd say it makes sense.
>>30665977
it has everything to do with /meat/, but non-/meat/ individuals engage in /meat/-related behavior for non-/meat/ reasons because of the shock value. if you were doing it for it's own sake, and out of your genuine desire to do it, it would be /meat/, but you are doing it because you want to present an image for others to believe in, that you are stronger than your opponents. we just do it because we genuinely find it fun often in a sexual way, not all of us, mind you. definitely me. that's my opinion on it at least.

>First thread
>First greentext lore post is /meat/
NO! NOO! NOO! NOOOOOOOOOO!!

>>30666245
Glad the squirrels enjoyed the parks not to complaint but both me and the deadbeat already set up some things, so it would be nice if you go back and write a chapter in between maybe 3-4 or 4-5 https://rentry.org/xkevq
>>/vt/thread/S26683971#p26703612 Enoch could be disinterested in shipbuilding and the other visits since he just sees them as formalities and a bit too focused on bringing the SEX revolution at the time, so you don't have to change anything in the later chapters.

>>30667119
you didn't already know?

>>30666263
It all comes back around with the lusquire project...

>>30666439
I was thinking less of a surrender and more along the lines of "hey hold up dont shoot us we arent the bad guys" I think surrender was a bad word there and Commodus was expecting you to just clarify your reasoning for being there before shit hit the fan. I do wonder why more diplomacy wasnt attempted at first because I did see people tried it but got fever. It just seems like a VERY aggressive way to say "were your friends sure we have been shooting you guys for almost a month but trust me bro".

Was inf the first to make explicitly friendly relationship with meat?

>>30666263

>>30667174
>spoiler
You mean Jayawan kek. Enoch was with the space bois. So what exactly were you thinking? I am ok with doing a 3.5 but I just need to do a bit more research.

>>30665338
I think I started lurking at the tail end of January, but I didn't start posting until maybe closer to Feb-Mar? I don't remember when I started posting but I've been here for a while.

>>30667792
Remember that it the Marquis was under orders to do this and that there were no translators avaliable. Plus, the Risuners didn't stop kek. It was a classic case of miscommuncation. I am writing about the Marquis justifying this in front of the Grand Council of Risu right now too kek.

>>30668014
Indonesian names just pass through my head and I can't remember any of them except their current president because his name is funny.
Depends on you. Jayawan would be too focused on researching and scheming about his plans around a week after they arrived right? So have all the visits around that time after he started doing research during his free time. I guess he also requested the visits and itinerary to be spread out so the Risuners can explore as they please, as a pretense to do his own thing. The 3.5 is really just there to fill the hole. So quickly mention the things the deadbeat and I wrote would be enough. To have it make sense with the later chapter just make it so Jayawan personally was a little disinterested. Also the diplomatic party should reach the capital next and the East next before they go back to /risu/. I know you are juggling between almost half a dozen projects and sometimes things slip.

>>30668199
Miscommunication. Yup that would definitely do it.
Also I do not remember a Grand Council of sorts.
>inb4 i have to check my own lore
I know each city has a named elder but I do not know how they would interact with each other in terms of bigger affairs. I could either say that each city does their own shit or if I really wanted to make the tribes and sections more unified then sure I guess there could be something like that. For now (especially since this is right before infinity did their shit) I will say that no such thing exists and your closest bet to that would probably be Panrong? It is the closest big city and Silvanus does not have all its shit built up yet.

>>30668598
>scheming about his plans
Yes he is very ambitious about his SEX revolution but eventually he will have some sense knocked into him. He probably would not really care anyway as he has already seen deadbeat ships and there wasn't a need to even be there. He is there to explore hooman culture and see what cool shit he can bring back in exchange for other cool shit.
>juggling between almost half a dozen projects
I really need to stop collabing with so many people because on the back of my mind all I can think of is doing tri fleet season 2 and interacting with the saplings. I have a massive thing that I want to do with them. So yeah im just wrapping everything up.

>>30641840
>Can I help in any way with tech or chuubanite?
Tech is still in the distinct category of "It just works" simply due to its nature. You want a sword, you're getting a sword. If you can justify a firearm, merry fuck-you, here's a gun.

Chuubanite is going to have to be keyword dependent. If you have the Chuubanite, you have the keyword. Though two questions on that front: Is Chuubanite "expendable" as in it burns out or no? Secondly, multiple Chuubanite sources at once?

I know Players and one little shit is going to want to be blinged out in Chuubanite to account for most situations (and get cancer I guess).

>>30648034
>I assume that a d10/limited dicepool would be similar to WoD/CofD?
With the slightly new focus on working for /qst/ first, currently spitballing ideas with myself. I need to get better at adapting these kind of things, so its a hit-and-miss. May just do a 2 AM stream about it one day.

>>30669051

>>30669016
>as he has already seen deadbeat ships
But those are steamships that are being built, you see.

>>30669051
so what does "it just works" mean in this context. i keep hearing it stated, and i can only come to the conclusion that i must not know what the word means because it never seems applicable to me. could you try to state in clear words what you mean by that?

>>30668692
fuck, i just wrote it....

>>30669330
Ah my bad. Fuck it why the hecc not. I will just write it as him not attending but a decent chunk of his crew showing up and telling him about it. He did order scouts to explore further inland so naturally he is trying to obtain as much information as possible. And hecc you were even kind enough to provide me with an NPC name so 3.5 will be done either tonight or tomorrow. tomorrow being my day off where i wont be really doing shit besides being on my PC and tonight where im visiting my cousin

Chapter 4 of the Maumigny story. He meets the Grand Council, something I didn't realize didn't exist because I thought capital meant there would be a government. Oh well, It is quite bemusing to see the old Risuners try to communicate with this fancy Oiseau Marquis

>>30648034
One of the Black Fleet's Admirals is leading an investigative effort towards their /mep/ territory. https://rentry.org/morig-vs-watamelon#chapter-1
>>30648493
Hey watamelonanon! Yeah, just planning, I was waiting for you before any fighting already happened. For now there's a few boats headed towards your guys in /mep/, nothing too serious.
>>30649269
So, working from the chapter above, my first idea was this kind of: this first strike group comes in towards the /mep/ coast alongside watamelon territory to take stock of any shipbuilding facilities, harbors, and their assets, and falls into a trap because the Admiral is a retard. They retreat with heavy losses, and then there is a follow up campaign as the threat of the watamelon scourge has been demonstrated.
This Admiral's fleet's size:
2 ships of the line (Flagships of the two commanders)
4 frigates
3 corvettes
>>30651926
I'm here! I really do sleep through the absolute prime hours of this thread...
>>30657491
Damn, those chapters are so good...

>>30669494
miscommunication in and out of the story. fucking kek. Eh let me read it and see what you did there. You might have to retcon a bit as there is no way I would be able to reasonably justify saying that such a thing exists. Tbf though you could also just say you went to Panrong and mistook it for a grand council? IDK im reading it right now.

>>30669051
Our resident chuubanite autists can feel free to correct me if my understanding is wrong, but
>Is Chuubanite "expendable" as in it burns out or no?
It does, but it also slowly recharges over time as magic quanta in the surroundings rebond to the vitubium particles in the chuubanite.
>Secondly, multiple Chuubanite sources at once?
From the same piece of chuubanite? Probably not. But you could use multiple pieces at once, each with a different concept in mind and working in tandem.
>and get cancer I guess
It's not radioactive in that sense. Deadbeats are chock full of the stuff constantly after all.

>>30669051
>Is Chuubanite "expendable" as in it burns out or no?
Not well versed in chemistry or physics but it would probably depend on the type (so what bound with it and its affiliation) and how it used its energy. Say if you are using an iron chuubnaite without affiliation as a lamp then it would probably slowly dim out as it loses more of its stored magic quanta, eventually leaving just a useless lump of metal that needs to be replaced.
Then there's a type of gunpowder made with chuubanite which I wrote. It can create a bigger and faster boom but since you are creating an explosion, the intense heat causes the vitubium bound with the coal to separate, which means the unburnt material left in the chamber and barrel would have very chuubanite or vitubium left as it was turned into its base state and released it's energy.

>>30669636
Ah, i could tell those guys werent that smart compared to Alice’s story. Arrogance was there. If you need my numbers, ill make them soon

>>30669051
I think for the context of an RPG campaign, there would be sources of chuubanite that are practically expendable, and others that practically aren't. The chuubanite in a /meat/ tattoo, in a reinforced weapon, or in a deadbeat's bones is not going to deplete fast enough to be a significant effect in a campaign that is less than months long. The chuubanite in a gun or a risu magic staff however, might deplete significantly over the course of a fight.
And yes, you can have multiple different chuubanites with you, though if you try to mix them they will prefer to separate, or have one take over the other.

>>30669636
I forgot what it was i wanted to discuss. I think it had to do with your stance on meat and inf in Risu as in your nations opinion

>>30669637
We unironically could say Commodus though such a thing existed and took him to Silvanus for no reason.

>>30669419
"It Just Works" is often applied in the context of something that sorta-kinda doesn't function correctly, but people still roll with it.

Popularized by Todd Howard after he claimed the Creation Engine (Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout Games, etc) "Just Works." Even after numerous bugs, crashes, and other horrendous failures with the engine.

When I say "It Just Works" I mean in the context of it kind of doesn't, so it'll have to be a heavy set of workarounds to not address the core issue.

>>30670021
Actually, i think it went like this
>Maumigny askes to to to the capital to negotiate
>Commodus, not understanding why he is asking says sure
>He later explains that he didnt need to go there and was confused as to why.

>>30669051
I'd be down to discussing and collaborating on rolling mechanics for a potential ttrpg. I have a bit (10+ years) of experience with them, plus fiddling with some completely customized mechanics in the past to make them fit into my settings.
Regarding Chuubanite, you can omit thinking about it too much when trying to come up with the basics. It mostly serves as justification for the supernatural elements of the setting. Setting up the precise ramifications for it can come after coming up with the initial system.
>>30669636
Alright! I was thinking if you'd want to have some aid from /nasfaqg/ (or, personally from Tripoint) because while no company would likely be willing to send any kind of an expeditionary force, some of the companies that'd experience frequent or semi-frequent raids along the Watamelon coastline would deem it more cost-effective to voluntarily provide aid to deal with the menace. This might mean resources, expertise, intelligence, or very specialized gear. Generally, just remember that these organizations don't work pro bono - Tripoint might slightly since it doesn't mind currying favour on Moriji - but others will only support it with cutting losses from piracy/terrorism in mind.

Meanwhile in /vtwbg/

>>30670093
but how does it apply to our current system? what part of it doesn't work?

>>30669871
Yes, exactly. My thought is that /2434/ is much closer to the Watamelon mainland, so their exposure to them would have been more significant over history, while watamelon's efforts towards Moriji are a more recent development since we're so much farther, so to the Admirals they're still only another flavor of piracy-slinging barbarian. This campaign is going to be a "First Contact" kinda deal where we learn what a threat they are.
>>30669954
Don't love it, but they don't get in our way or enslave people there. Call it an "uncomfy cohabitation".
>>30670170
Okay, I'll keep it in mind! I was thinking of involving nasfaq in ulterior campaigns down on the watamelon coast, I'll keep you posted.

ch3
>the fuckers go so deep they get to Panrong undetected......
well shit. I have a lot about this one. I can clearly see your trying to make them the heroes which is totally fine but just one thing. Panrong is a major city with a lot of people. They could have defended themselves against something like this. But still the idea of a big ass army coming in is kind of funny so fuck it.
>chapter 4
Ok this one was actually both funny and accurate. i think >>30670152
would make some sense. Commodus is from the south. I will think about it a lot more tomorrow as I will be getting a lot of writing done then. But ill be off now so later fuckers ill be busy ah you all already know kek.

>>30670312
Fuck… i thought risuner towns were small. Ill increase sizes

>>30670309
Mine is very contrasting, as i think the Watamelons changed their tactics after the defeat we hand them in it. No one wanted this job but a younger minority admiral. Ozawa fires someone on spot and promotes another guy because of the tension. We lost 8 ships of the line a year before…

>>30670388
smaller towns yes but the named ones are pretty sizeable. They have layers of top and bottom where they climb up and down. Of course its all just wood and shit and in Panrong there would be a decent amount of stone fortification. Another thing I should add to the list of things i should do but will probably forget about. Ok now im off for real this time. at this rate i might just ask my cousin to reveal our relationship to her girlfriend so we dont have to sneak around so often. Hell it would be cool if I could manage to get some three ways going

>>30670309
Yeah, Alice’s story i think drives home the danger we are well, I would imagine the Black Fleet being told about this by 2434 and laughing it off as nothing.

>>30670309
Ulterior campaigns? As opposed to overt campaigns? Or "subsequent"?
Either way, tell me if you'd want to accept the help of smaller /nasfaqg/ companies (the ones that'd offer help) or if you need something from Tripoint, including Epoch's help.

>>30648984
>>30659316
Good work, anons! Don't worry, I'll try to let everyone know when we're done accepting chants.

>That moment where a female Sanalite, female Kronie, and female Lunatio posed in lingerie for a painting.
>The painting sells for a king's fortune at an auction.
Who buys the painting?

>>30670513
Yes, I think you got across the urgency of the situation for the Empire very well! I especially like Admiral Ozawa.
>>30670627
That's the spirit! I think in this regard, /watamelon/ is to /2434/ as /meat/ is to /morig/, an ancestral enemy whose threat they understand better than any other.
>>30670731
Ulterior is actually a synonym of subsequent, usually with the subtlety that it has an as-of-yet unrevealed aspect to it. But yes, we'll certainly accept the help of /nasfaqg/! I think any operations in watamelon waters will use the Solus base as a base of operation. Oh, something I could use from you is a character to act as a Tripoint representative!

>d’avranches tries to explain to the Black Fleet the danger of Watamelons
>they laugh him off
>tell some random sailor “These morons will get you guys killed, good luck.”

>>30670975
Hell, I think this is the reason why we got the canal. Thanks!!! I love the good cop bad cop vibe i have Ozawa and arvanches. It fits well

>>30670975
I could whip up a character and a character sheet. Do you want an expert in some particular field from Oppia Polytechnic/Ka-Ti Institute, representative of a particular subsidiary, or the mother-conglomerate middle-manager?

>>30671157
You literally cannot go wrong with cop duo dynamics, that's always a winner.
>>30671269
I was thinking that perhaps an Allied Fruit Co. representative in contact with spies in the Nijisea could come in handy, a source of information, basically.

>>30670899
a /meat/head

>>30672011
Why would /meat/ want a painting of women in lingerie? Unless its for referencing it like a butcher chart.

>>30670899
Architects.

>>30670899
A /nasfaqg/ merchant, obviously, for personal uses or reselling.

>>30669871
Also watamelonanon, do you think I could write a chapter from the POV of the Caliphate? If yes, can you think of like a movie character I could model their cultural mannerisms from, or describe them or something like that?

>>30672940
Shit, I dont know. Think of some famous corsair. Watamelons arent actually melon people fyi. They just love melons. This guy would work for a character. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazzar_Pasha

>>30672449
They'd have to be a little chubby I think.

>>30672457
The merchant would be the one selling for a king's fortune, not buying for a king's fortune.

>>30673177
>Watamelons arent actually melon people fyi.
Rosebud in shambles kek. I figured. Got it, turkish pirates.

I'm sleepy...
Panon do you need me to work on anything since you're making your lore and stuff?????

>>30673356
Nah, i am sleepy too. Just relax

>>30673356
Have you tried the chamomile tea like I suggested yet?

>>30673177
But I wanted to roll around Watamelon friends. ;-;

>>30664757
Ugh, I would be considered an oldfagchama? Ewwwww.....

>>30673285
Knowing how the obscenely rich act in /nasfaqg/, I wouldn't be surprised from either.

>>30664757
I saw it all.

>>30667762

>>30673379
Ok!!!!! Thank you!!!

I tried it last night!!! I don't know if it helped me but it doesn't taste that good honestly!!!! I don't drink tea very much!!!!

Towa hats are a necessary expense.

Hate

>>30674595
I remembered the following just for you.
Bibi is by far the the best designed "companion"/mascot of any holo.
Even by lore standards, if you give a shit about such things, it is again the best in that it has the most legit reason for being around its chuuba in the first place.
>striking yet simple design and color palette
>versatile shapeshifting demonic familiar of protection
>also chic fashion accessory; morphs to go with every fit
>cute
Well done Rurudo.
Even provides endless opportunities for instantly recognizable Towa merch.

>>30674747
get off the computer, fat fuck

I want to cuddle with Ppsenpa~

>>30669051
>>30669726
>also slowly recharges over time as magic quanta in the surroundings rebond to the vitubium particles in the chuubanite.
this process is extremely slow during normal times, probably taking longer than a human lifespan for the chuubanite to return to normal levels.
During events like rushia nuclear meltdown this can happen very fast though


And yes, chuubanite is expendable, and it is burned out in use, the rate ofc, depending on the use.

>>30664757
damn, i've been here since february, though i didn't even post until i think april or march

>>30664757
Panon was in June not July, fyi

>>30677422
June 15th or 16th i think.

>>30677518
Roseanon will always be better than you. Never forget this.

>>30677518
So where's the respect for you senpais, huh? I expect to be called Cunt senpai by you from now on, young whippersnapper kek.

How come schizos always gas me up and never put me down? Am I attractive to them? Could I be a schizo soothsayer of some kind?

>>30677806
Will you be calling me a senpai then? been here since the first thread

>>30677839
new lore fellas

>>30677806
I dont call anyone senpai, kek
>>30677839
You know unless you are that oblivious

>>30677839
Nah you just dont soc post and attention whore.

>>30677949
I mean my main assumption is that it's just another method to shit on you, but if that's not the case then I'm pretty oblivious.

>>30677839
Rosebud, schizo whisperer... They do the same to me. It's the oldfag's burden.

>>30677900
Sure I will, sexy clock senpai.

>>30678055
>>30678081
You both will be actual targets when they realize he doesnt care at all.

>>30678198
It's about damn time, I've been wondering where my personal schizo is. I'll even put a leash on that bastard so he can't escape me.

>>30678198
I don't think so, to be honest. I think the Panon schizos followed him from /nijiEN/, seems like a place that would breed this sort (no offense to nijifriends, I'm sure you see what I mean).

>>30678370
Antichama is, the rest arent. I can tell who is who easily. That being said, i also dont care and they can keep trying in vain

>>30678514
gambare Panon!

>>30678514
Who are they?

>>30678271
Grrr, rosesenpai is so... terrible! Why doesn't he write more? What a baka!
