funny tasting bread

>>32777967
yeah, we are all talking about you in our secret club

Welcome back Retro. I'm giving you a hug whether you want it or not. Didn't get a chance to say this last thread before archive.

>>32778009
yeah i was gonna join but only have 1 discord account and was debating whether to just join with my main acc or make another one

>>32778173
Just make a spare, Discord has integrated a sort of "hot swap" on PC for alternate accounts.

>>32778348
>hot swap
didn't know they have that, neat

>>32776124
>uhh, how so? Isn't it just a magic rock? It only requires some mining and maybe some praying, right? If it needs some kind of refinement, then the methodology can easily be stolen. There's nothing really mentioned in the doc about "only natives can make this particular Chuubanite". You'd think that would be important.
the chuubanite doc in the anchor is taking a very long time to be finished, he still hasn't even written about the container analogy. anyways, if you've read the doc then i can't figure out why you think chuubanite is just "mine it and pray". each type of chuubanite requires a whole process of discovery. first of all, it's not just some rock. it's an element. describing it as a rock is easy, but the truth is that the refining process is different for every kind of chuubanite, and it can take the form of any matter, including air. as for using it, activator substances and glyphs are also different for each kind of chuubanite, and it is potentially very dangerous if mishandled.
as i said, stealing methodology is not as simple as you seem to make it out to be, especially when the costs of establishing industry for a particular purpose can be very costly and time consuming. keep in mind, even if you have the raw industrial power to be able to recreate something if you knew how to, you'd need to re-coordinate said industrial power towards being able to make anything, and that's skipping over all the other things you'd need to get around.

should I scrap my lore works and quit writing for /ag/ and stick to my main thread? I'm an Architect at heart but I also have an oshi and a fanbase I belong to that isn't architecture related.

>>32778966
if you are both, picking one should be fine, but if you want to rep for both, there might be problems.

>>32778966
Which one have you written the most for? I'd just stick with that. The idea is more about having people write a lot of lore for one thread they're passionate about, instead of having something write lower quality lore for a dozen threads. If you want to worldbuild for /ag/ instead of your oshi's thread that's perfectly fine.

>>32778966
Personally, I won't worry about that as long as you don't vote for more than one thread. Some might be alarmed that you might use the two countries' lore to solely benefit each other, but I think you've proven yourself a better writer than that.

Question for the deadbeat(s) out there: how are names formed in the Moriji language?

>>32779389
I make up something that sounds roman, japanese, or a mix of both! That's pretty much it. First Name, Last Name, nothing special there.

>>32779532
Gotcha, thanks. Finally found how I'm gonna approach what I'm doing, expect something soon!

>>32779087
>>32779186
Nope, I only want to rep one but I still really like writing for the other. I've been discussing both since the first threads when the idea of a rep was still wonky and I hadn't realized whether or not I could keep doing it until someone said something last thread that clicked a switch.
>>32779152
The other one definitely but I think I've had the most conversation between nations with /ag/ excluding the other one because I'd never samefag, that'd be meido tier faggotry.

>>32779739
Yeah, just don't vote for both of them and you'll be fine. I don't know about others, but I never intended the rep system to be something that limits people's lore contribution (beyond the occasional tardwrangling, but I digress).

>>32779729

Liora will be streaming during Korean Thanksgiving, life is good. I also wrote a new chapter though I feel it might need more revision than usual since there are parts that I’m still unsure of

>>32782065
oh shit this is actually nice af. i gotta read the whole thing.

>>32782065
Oh, nice! I see you worked in some animal oils, fun. I really enjoy the interaction between the guard and the songstress... And "owlet" made me kek. I love reading these anon, thank you.

If anyone has a moment. Can I get a second opinion on having a plateau region in between /haha/ and /lazulight/? The height on the map makes me think a plateau valley would work.

>>32783153
I think that's plausible, the topo map doesn't have a resolution high enough to be certain.

>>32776576
Welcome back!

>>32766631
I might make a separate account just so I won't forget it. I'm also heavily against shitcord but it can be useful for TTRPG or whatever. Don't really use it aside from voice chatting with friends anyways.

>>32782407
>>32782810
Thanks! I originally planned for the oil to be something extracted from the conifer trees (which have a bunch of them according to all these essential oil ads) but I changed it to something extracted from animal to give them functions I intend the oil to have, and also show another facet of the gentleman’s attitude
>interaction between the guard and the songstress
The owlet reference’s something I stumbled upon while researching owl. It’s oddly fitting given how the songstress ended up being depicted in my writing. I suppose it’s also kinda fitting since Lofi’s character is meant to be kinda bratty (even though she just ends up being incredibly cute)
It’s oddly fun to write people trying to overcome language barrier but maybe I just watched too many JP/EN collab
also picrel

bump

>>32784753
Oh, I think I have an idea what those other functions might be... Also, I wrote a lot about language barriers! It's a ton of fun, I agree. excited for when shit hits the fan

I think Kindred asked about having coconut oil. If she's looking for a deep fry oil then liquid beef tallow is useable. Its what McDonalds used to use before the saturated fat ban. Though I think deep frying would be more architect's thing.

>>32778729
>it's not just some rock. it's an element
Wasn't that Vitubium? Actually, what form does raw Vitubium even have? Is it a gas? a solid? a liquid? it's only stated as being unstable and immediately seeking to bond with things, implying that it's some kind of ephemeral non-substance. It doesn't help that the doc can't decide if it's a substance or a particle. Where does it even come from?
>stealing methodology is not as simple as you seem to make it out to be
It's, what, the 18th century? The way you're explaining the sheer level of industrialization involved makes Chuubanite production seem equivalent to nuclear warheads. The doc only mentions Chuubanite as being any substance with a high enough presence of Vitubium, even listing a simple alloy as an example of 'a type of Chuubanite'. Heck, I could make alloys in my own backyard.
The only thing I'm unsure of is how much effort it would be to create an "active effect". But I don't really care about this. Especially when just the passive effect can be crazy enough as it is.

>>32788405
vitubium is the element, yes. sorry if i was confusing you with that. it can bind to any substance, even more macro-scale substances like organic material. that is just one step of the discovery process you'll have to figure out to make use of chuubanite. activator substances and glyphs are also things you'll have to figure out through a long and arduous discovery process, as they can be extremely complex depending on how they are used.
the complexity of a warhead does make the increased costs of reverse engineering vs other options more noticeable but acting like it only applies to post-industrial era innovations is false. this is something that is felt more or less everywhere. the degree is different, and much of all of this is highly dependent on the faction and how they designed their chuubanite, but there is some cost involved in figuring out how something was made that you don't seem to be accounting for at all. passive effects are harder to direct or control. many of their most interesting effects are only noticeable over a much larger scale. depending on how the /ybc/ rep responds to my suggestions to him from the previous thread, it might be completely useless to people who aren't natives just due to how the natives may have evolved around it.
the main point i have is over the discovery process. it wouldn't necessarily be as easy as you think to reverse engineer it, and while it's passive use can be useful, it can also be potentially dangerous, but all of that is subjective except the fact that different types of chuubanite are used radically differently, which should be enough to reduce those incentives you described. maybe we should think of more just to be sure, idk, all i wanted to say was that it might not be as simple as you are making it out to be as it is.

Bump

I wrote a draft. Since it is late maybe I can drop it here and someone can help me without too many people seeing it

https://rentry.org/invisiblekingdomoftsunderia

As a warning:
- Strong ESL
- I have known of this thread existence for less than a week so I still don't understand what you are doing here.
- I have read as much lore as I could but I still don't get much, please correct me when I fuck up.
- I don't know if I went too meta.
- My source for everything about /tsun/: I was there. I've been there from the start. Since the first thread. Since the time before threads. Sometimes it was ALL ME.
- I extended my reach over to /wvt/ and /lig/
- I probably should had consulted with /rose/ since this involves them directly.
- Anya petra is also involved but they should corroborate everything I said. (or they will deny it even if they know it is true )
- I wasted WAY TOO MUCH time doing this and I have stuff to do. I'm tired.

>>32792686
ey it's tsunderia extreme

Wild wigglies is cute.

>>32793488
wigglies look like a great candidate for the vtuber equivalent of yukkuri.

>>32792686
Good work. Though I don't know enough about tsunderia and its relationship with other threads to comment on it too much. Wigglies as archeological evidence is pretty fun. Though the biggest problem I think is the formatting of your footnotes. I was kind of confused by the formatting until I realized they are meant to be footnotes. Rather than using "*" and then number the footnotes, only use superscript numbers.

Noon.

I'm skipping the formalities for this is a serious matter; Destroy the Discord.
I care not that you claim it as containment but what you are doing is creating a new rabbithole, a den of betrayals. Stop this nonsense before it becomes the status-quo and destroys this place.
Can you not see the obvious red flag that is its own name? The platform sow discord within communities.
I've been on multiple projects that were on that site. I've seen cliques making their own servers to plan and stage a coup against the main project.
You think the /soc/postings were bad but once you have a taste for the roles and gif reactions and usernames, it becomes a drug.
A drug that will decimate the last known pockets of ethics and discipline you have in your heart.

In other news, Hi!

>>32792686
Actually read through it now.
This is pretty good, I really enjoy how you used the wigglies to show the extent of tsunderia's influence. Doesn't have much on how modern /tsunX/ works, but it's a draft so I'll wait for that. Not much that directly involves us, but you did mention a bit of similarities with saplings, I do hope you expand on that sometime since it's pretty close by to us.
Anyways, good job.

>>32794021
Let me try to fix that.
>>32794059
>/tsunX/
I'll would need to write that in a separate article eventually.

>>32794031
hey /meat/bro. i agree with your assessment, but i didn't feel comfortable saying it in that much detail since i only ever hear stories about the place. anyways, i was thinking about some stuff in the /meat/ thread about our lore, not sure if you want to look over it. also, /ybc/ has some stuff i wanted to discuss with you later if you want, and if you didn't already see it.

Era After anon finally reporting back in. I've written not one, but two things for Moriji in the Era After. For the first time, following the deadbeat's own lead I've made use of Stable Diffusion to generate the images in the stories. Let's just say they grew on me.
Snippets of Mouririn (also known as Dedbeets) Writing: https://rentry.org/5cvei
Caldera: https://rentry.org/pcrfa

Let me know what you guys think, as per usual. Next up will probably be setting up a concrete date for the Era After and rewriting the intro/lore guide.

>>32794031
I don't think this would become as disastrous as your previous experience but I can see where you are coming from. I would like to trust anons in this project would be mature and self-disciplined enough to not let anything bleed into the thread too much. And most importantly I don't really think actual cliques are possible. It's meant to be a purely collaborative project with no leadership. It might distance anons here who hate this sort of stuff with those who are okay with it further but I don't see a "coup" happening anytime soon. Though I do hope it's just a temporary outlet and anons don't become too reliant on it.

>>32794617
>trust anons in this project would be mature and self-disciplined enough to not let anything bleed into the thread too much
do you trust them to do that now?

>>32794670
...The past threads probably don't really inspire much confidence. But for the most serious issue /meat/bro is warning against, which is a proper clique I don't think any of the regulars here are petty enough to let it affect them too much.

I don’t understand you guys. You complain about /soc/ in the thread, people propose an idea to quarantine it, and you complain about that when it’s no longer in the thread which is what you originally wanted. Who cares what people do away from the thread? You don’t have to see it here.

>>32794836
maybe, but what about future anons? and how do we know? the only thing that is absolutely certain is that we will get people complaining about the discord if we use it. i am not sure it would even contain all that much /soc/posting, desu. if you really want to try it, be vigilant, at least.

>>32791425
>there is some cost involved in figuring out how something was made that you don't seem to be accounting for at all
Yes, you're right. I'm not accounting for that at all. I was operating under the assertion that the discoveries had already been made, and probably written into some dusty tome that now sits around in the village elder's hut or whatever.
I need to be able to visualize the full process in it's totality. I have no idea how to visualize Vitubium or the process by which it turns into Chuubanite. You seem to imply this process is unique to the Chuubanite in question, but... eh
Frankly, I have more to say but man I should be in bed. I'll shelf this for now.

>>32795236
Anyone in the /dis/thread should be able to tard wrangle them. It's also an obscure place that would only get posted if anyone starts to post offtopic shit. The best thing to do is probably just ignore it to not draw any more attention to it. If the experiment fails /kfp/rep can just delete it silently. I only use dicksword for projects and personal stuff so I rarely log in. I think I did a pretty decent job of maintaining a professional relationship with most anons in this thread. I intend to keep it even with the introduction of a server.

>>32795236
some of it might be is tomes, but the majority is expected to not be discovered at all yet, with the stuff that is known being expected to be fairly esoteric. still, depending on how it is recorded, it might still be more of a hassle to figure out than to just pick a different, more peaceful solution. chuubanite affinity is partially determined by magic quanta identity, and also the availability of substances around the vitubium, if my memory serves. each affinity has something different that it is responding to, which makes it represent itself differently. same thing applies to all of it's activator substances and glyphs. basically, using someone else's chuubanite requires the learning of a completely new language, except you need resources to be able to test your assumptions, and a simple mistake could literally blow up in your face. anyways, good night, anon. ty for the discussion. i might actually not be around tomorrow, so if i am not around, that's probably why.

>>32794334
I'll check up on it soon. Just got back and will be doing some errands.
>>32794617
Words of precaution. I have seen what it can do. And I do not want to see it again.
I do not want writers being attacked ad hominem instead of criticising works instead.
Mountain anon, you're its owner right? I trust you would keep the place tardwrangled.

>>32792686
I don't really know much about /tsun/ or the wigglies, but it looks pretty good! I actually like how they aren't confined to /tsun/, and is something we probably should do more often. Apart from the formatting issues mentioned and the occasional grammatical issues, one thing I would suggest is to try adding a menu with [TOC2] or something, which will be increasingly useful as the rentry grows in length.

>>32792686
wait what we got a /tsun/ rep while i was gone!!!

hello i am from the /vrt/ thread, i love ami to death!!!

>>32797315
Wigglies actually make a great base for a species on the Corpo-Liberal continent, most of our chuubas got some too and they make just as much sense for /wvt/, /pcg/ or /lig/. I personally am in favour of making them native to the continent.

>>32792686

>>32794031
>Destroy the Discord.
Idk man, so far it seems like a pretty good containment option.
>a den of betrayals.
Uhhh, so far it's been talks about Mountain's ass, kindred's everything, beardposting and some pet posting. Don't really see how any betrayals could start taking place when all we really do I actual socposting and hornyposting. We ain't there to start ruining shit, we are there so we can be our horny selves without disturbing the thread.
>The platform sow discord within communities.
This could be said for anything really. Have you looked at the past week on here? If we wanted to ruin this project, forget discord, all we need to keep doing is what has been happening here for like a month more or something. THAT is how you ruin a project. Containing all the socposting off-site so that the main thread remains purely on topic is honestly a good idea, I mean just look at us, 7ish hours and we are at 70 replies, and basically no drama. We removed the problem and it shows.
>plan and stage a coup against the main project.
Alright, now you lost me. How does this make sense when private means of comms have been in use for months now and nothing like that happened? Nasfaqg guys use the dms, panon gen used the Google docs. Did any of them attempt this so called coup against the main project? And why would they?
I feel like you are blowing this waaay out of proportions.
>once you have a taste for the roles and gif reactions and usernames, it becomes a drug.
...and avatar/namefagging is different from this in what way exactly?
>A drug that will decimate the last known pockets of ethics and discipline you have in your heart.
Alright now you REALLY lost me. This feels like it's just your personal bias speaking at this point.
If you really feel that way about it, you are free to make a burner account and keep a watch over it, idk. I feel like having a public server that anyone can join and look at is better than having 10 different Google docs groups forming over time. Specially when said server has been made with one direction in mind: channel soc and horny away from the thread, so that it can go back to being an actual worldbuilding thread (without the btw this time).

Also, hi to you too!

>>32794031
Meat bro makes a compelling argument nanora, it does create a border between anons and usually leads to back talk and drama in the long run. I think there are better ways to curb socposting than a discord and even for an offsite groupchat there have to be better alternatives before summoning this schizo leviathan.

>>32805833
If you're happy with what you've already written then maybe find the next thing to flesh out? Unless you have some overarching plan for spider Island. Hey, you might even want to write a story for it.

There's a list of prompts here:
https://rentry.org/vtwbg-prompts

well, maybe i need to expand on some other things. (I don't know why its called spider island actually, no spiders doesn't look like spider.) It's an Icey Island

>>32806103
then you've got your next thing to write.
we do actually have arctic spiders I think though?

>>32806149

What about Daddy long-legs? They are quite friendly.

>>32806218
>>32806268
nonononono no spiders.

>>32806352
Maybe it's named after some kind of geological formation on the island. If Spider Island is an exonym that people outside of the Island use then it makes sense. Other than that maybe the mythology of the island dwellers involves some kind of spider-like monster/deity. Though the latter is even more of a stretch.

>>32806457
well, i think rosesenpai just gave it's name, idk why.

>>32806178
I actually had Tundra Spiders in the setting of one of my longer running D&D campaigns. But they were called "Bed Spiders". They were fluffy, white, and a little smaller than a tarantula and would attempt to crawl into places of warmth and shelter, such as (as their namesake suggests) beds. They were venomous so it was an entire hassle "De-Spidering" your bed in mornings and evening, and checking your boots to make sure there weren't Bed Spiders there either.

"Why would you do this? this sounds horrible and disgusting?"
That's the point. It was a survival campaign, the intent was to create another uncomfortable obstacles the players had to work around.

>>32806218
>>32806268
based fellow spider enjoyers

>>32806515
Spiders are cute! I let any spiders I see live especially jumping spiders. Those little guys are adorable and I often let them crawl on my hands a bit. They also help with controlling pests as well.

>>32806515
Oh I planned to go a bit more morbid with them. Same general design, small, fluffy, except their poison would work as a powerful opioid and pain reliever, and they would seek warmth by burrowing into the live bodies of large animals in the tundra, like mammoths, and make small colonies there. Constantly releasing the poison Into the animal would keep them in a state where they couldn't and wouldn't want to get rid of them.

However, as the citizenry is multi-ethnic, aspects of other nation's naming conventions may make their way into Nasfaqgian names.
For example, a nasfaqgian citizen who can trace their roots to KFP may have a name such as "Edward Kükenberg", and a nasfaqgian pomudachi could be named "Pomiticus Steelwright".
The Ka-ti Mak have unique names, which take the form of Kat Nol phrases and compound words, mostly referring to nature, numbers, wealth, trading, or money. The Ka-ti Mak do not always have surnames. For example, "Serpher" translating to "Silverhand" would be a valid Ka-ti Mak name.

>>32809257
I should clarify, Pomeranians just use normal german surnames and the most common from of name will always be Name-Pomu (something like that). Usually, it's nobles that use that as their regal names.

By the way if the Pekora writer is here I still need to pry into whether you plan on keeping your pre-Province borders or if they want to be moved somewhere.

>>32809588
in case anyone is still confused on provinces here's the rentry on them.
https://rentry.org/Provinces

>>32809588
Umm idk. You two hoshis, tell me why you wanted me?

>>32809807
that's fine. It's not a huge deal since the map reform won't be voted on until next week, so until then you can just assume your current borders are the ones you have. If you want to change them or move for whatever reason though just know you'll have the option in the future.

>>32809807
So we are forming the blue-purple woman cult and want a migo poster to bully. (not really, i just want peko, moon, hoshi, and sakuran near each other for lore.)

I just need to know if carrots can be grown in humid subtropical and in mass...

>>32810167
Think so.

>>32810167
Carrots prefer cooler weather but like ample sunlight, so you might want to grow them during the colder seasons. You can also apply mulch in the farmland to help keep the crops cooler.

>>32810167
They can be! Carrots originated in the Persia, so generally prefer a Csa or Csb climate, but can grow just fine in Cfa climate, which is the climate you have. Of course you could just Spec-Bio giant carrots that are Cfa native into the world.

>>32810167
Carrots are grown pretty much everywhere. Aside from what the other anon said, apparently California is the biggest producer of carrots in the US. Though I don't know the exact reason for it.
The cultivar and soil would affect carrot production too.

I appreciate the translations, because the original message is really really really hard to understand (ironic, considering it starts correcting the way the rentry is written kek)

I am more than willing to change everything, as I said before, to make /ybc/ make sense in the context of Vitubia, it's why I constantly ask if what I post makes sense. If I misunderstood the way chuubanite works, I will swiftly make the changes required.

That said, I feel like all of this information would have been very useful had it been in the Chuubanite rentry. Since it's missing, there's no way for me to grasp exactly how it works. There's also a severe lack of defining features which I thought were intentionals (such as the natural state of Vitubium solid/gas/liquid/plasma) to allow nations to pick and choose.

I'll be more careful on it! Also I plan to expand in detail on how exactly the Smithing and Enchanting process works, accomodating what is suggested in the thread from people who know about the chuubanite subject.

Unfortunately, I will decline on your suggestions of "structure". As uncreative as you think "minecraft" is as a base to write from, it also is what /ybc/ is in its entirety, and that's never ever changing. Sorry.

>>32809652
I may be misremembering, but didn't the /yah/ rep say they wanted to move to the large island that is now off their coast in 3.0 the last time they were here? In that case, /yah/'s old territory may need to be provinced as well.

>>32792686
This is so fucking good, I love this. The wiggly biological history, the connections to all those other threads, the perfect example of translating thread history to Vitubian history, this is just fantastic.
>>32794545
Anon, I can't understate how cool this is. This whole culture of wanting to return to Mouri after being expelled by the apocalypse, it just rings so perfectly for us. And the whole passage from "Second Commentaries of the Western Mouririns" is just chef's kiss. Amazing. I might backwrite some aspects of this into the canon lore.

Should sound Japanese, Roman, or a weird Mix of the two. Rarely, USA-esque first names may be encountered.

Because of the religious activities, foreign converts and pilgrims can be found all over the land. Converts who immigrated over would keep their names as the people of /meat/ only judge based of religion, not culture. So if they have non-native names that's a sign they are religious converts or descended from them.

Thanks for liking the Era After stories! It would be cool to see backwriting happen, I feel kinda honored for the AU to make an impact on actual lore, haha. The Mouririns/Dedbeets (as a rule of thumb, descendants of the passengers of Deadbeat ships fleeing to the north and west tend to call themselves Mouririns while descendants of the Deadbeats fleeing to the south and east typically call themselves Dedbeets. This was all planned and totally not me forgetting about the new name midway through the writing.

Names should sound Slavic (though most Slavic sounding names I've used thus far are West of Russia). Though more English(West Atlantic), French, German, or Latin sounding names should also be acceptable as immigration is a factor in the lore. Though names that are constructed using the Holo-dhennet language is always welcomed, same as the conlang alphabet. As always things are subject to change, though due to the factor of immigration it's relatively liberal.

Note to rep: Please see if it's okay for now. I'll update it when conlang anon helps us make a language document.


>>32777473
Different types of alcoholic beverages are made in the Owl Republic. In the lastest survey conducted jointly by the Department of Economics and the Bureau of Health in 1125, different types of Beer and Vodka are the most consumed drink by volume, with wine coming in next.

Traditionally, Hooman beer are made with smoked malt and gruit. The type of wood used in different parts of the country also varies. The most famous beer made in the Western Republic uses a mix of apple and beech are used to impart a fruity and nutty taste to the unfermented wort. Some parts of the East also used peat to smoke their malt as well, which gives it a deep, earthy and slightly burnt taste that pairs well with grilled and pot-roasted meat that is often consumed in the region. Gruit are used traditionally to flavour many of the brews in the Republic. Though many kinds of Hop plants are native to the region, their use was never discovered until after the Founding War, brought in by both immigrants and renewed trade with the outside world. The popularisation of hop use if partly due to the preserving effect they have to the beer, which began to be traded across the vast landmass that constitutes the Republic. In the aftermath of the post war trade boom and unification of the East and West, beer making in many parts of the country has gradually conformed to be more standardized. Though gruit have not fallen completely out of use, as many breweries and independent brewer, bars still produce and use their own gruit mix. The more bitter herbs are taken out or reduced, and the dried herb mix are usually added later than the hops to preserve as much of its unique flavor as possible. The use of gruit is a reason Republican beer can enjoy a premium compared to other types of beer in the international market. More modern types of malting kilns have long been made and used in the Republic, though the traditional method of wood smoking is still preserved despite the penchant of novelty and innovation in the country. Sometimes traditions have a reason to remain, the wide selection of beer styles that such a mix of techniques allow is perhaps one.

Vodka is made traditionally with grain. Though spirits distilled from potatoes or a mix of grain and potato became the dominant type in the last two centuries. Some styles are flavored with spice berries. This type is often made into a table drink by pouring it into a pitcher with mashed berries, then diluted with water. Most traditional vodkas are barrel aged, the lightly charred wood gives them a nice aroma and flavor. Most are consumed on their own, chilled in a cellar, or poured into a pitcher full of cut fruits. Aged Vodka similarly also fetch a high price not only due to the use of local herbs but also its aging process. The rocking motion the liquid content undergoes at sea makes Republican Vodka unique compared to many other aged spirits. Its consumption as a luxury item is especially noted in the Eastern Continent.

Wine production is mainly concentrated in the West historically. Though the fertile valley in the maritime climate of the North East has become one of the most profitable wine region in the country in the recent decades. While its consumption is lower, its culinary use is notable. Traditionally a large portion of the must are used to make vinegar instead. The large scale drinking of wine only became more prominent from foreign demand which resulted in overproduction.

While brandy isn't traditionally made on any scale, pomace brandy and other types of fruit brandy are consumed in many parts of the Republic. Apricots, apples, Berries and Peaches are made into a sweet spirit that is often purchased as gifts. Sugar beet molasses are used to distill a bitter tasting brandy in some rural communities. While sugar cubes are often added to make it less unpleasant, the unique flavor of the drink makes it a social drink, where the experience mattered more. It is seen as a bonding exercise to finish a bottle with your buddies.

Notes: Plan on adding more in the future. Supposed to finish the traditional dress but got into a bit of a hole researching drinks.

>>32817105
Any particular cultures (like Bulgarian, Ukrainian, or broader like West Slavic, South Slavic etc.) you'd want to draw from the most when it comes to /who/ names? "Slavic" is extremely broad, and is split between two alphabets.

I just name risuners using Indonesian random name generator.

>>32817520
The thing is our conlang is still under heavy construction. Although we do have an alphabet now I don't know enough about linguistics to know how it would actually sound or how did most of the sounds in Slavic names came to be. I know one of the goals of the conlang is to sound sort of like Russian, but I partly used some more Western Slavic sounding names to make it more "exotic".

>>32817618
Same but Slavic

>>32817824
>>32817105
So, Rus?
How about Gardariki stuffs? Since Moom's have runes on her.

>>32817973
I guess. If possible I'd also like to include some influence from different regional dialects and the natural evolution of the language in the names. Kievan Rus' names are probably the oldest names used though. The old alphabet is made up of Runes and /uuu/ also use runes in rituals and incantations, though their current spoken language doesn't have a writing system.

>>32818183
Same culture group/language family if Saplingfriend agrees
Whenever he comes back

>>32818269
Should be the same with the Brrats as well. I swear the saplings already agreed that /who/ and /uuu/ would have the same spoken language as well but I need to do an archive dive for it. Though it is best to wait for them to come back. Hoo...

New Map Updates!
The map should now be up to date with the latest vote results. I also threw in a graphic to show the approximate elevations the colors on the height map represent since there seemed to be confusion on that. Let me know if anything else seems amiss!

>>32817105
I'll intervene here a bit, names are supposed to be more of a combination of French-British-Russian than any specific culture, I just never made it clear.

>maybe some general liquors like whisky too
Maybe since it's basically made from fermented wort. But I won't make it significant because most of the foreign and domestic demand is already met with aged Vodka. Also want to mix things up a bit so as to not make it too cliched or tropey.

Wigglies origins are a literal mystery. Gif related is the first wiggly, and its origin seems to be 5ch (Moriko herself tried to track its origins down to no avail about a year ago.) Right now they are used as Twitch emotes so that's the reason they are not part of Holo culture. Maybe one day. As for now, the Holo wigglies can only be found in the divegrass cytube
Wiggly lore says they came to existence by themselves. Actually there are a few stories about their possible origin but I didn't include it because I didn't think they would be relevant and I'm kind of burned out.
Also a wiggly breeders nation briefly existed but it was stricken down by the custodians very quickly >>/vt/?task=search2&ghost=yes&search_text=&search_subject=wiggly

Should I write an article about wigglies next? I can probably compile everything already written about them in /wvt/

>>32820825
I was pretty sure I wrote about it before, but I can't find it in the archive, so I might have misremembered. Regardless, the gist's that most of the Candy Kingdom's agriculture will be in the warmth south. The crops will be fairly similar to that of eastern Europe, so major food crops will be some kind of cold-hardy wheat, rye, oat, barley, and potato, while other notable crops should include apples (including pears and other related plants), beet (which would be the major source of non-magical sugar, I imagine), flax, and sunflower (both good sources of oil).

Depends a lot on the breed. Dumb chuubas have dumb wigglies. Think of dogs.
/wvt/ considers Ancestral wigglies smart enough to hold weapons, so the original wiggly was at least dolphin level.
As far as I know no wiggly can speak. When they do, it is just a goddess wearing their shape.
Retro wigglies make 8 bit sounds, and some seem to make out noises resembling the name of their Chuuba or or one of their iconic phrases. ( Luna wigglies are reported as going "Nanora Nanora nanoraaa" [soundpost]). In this they are much like crows. It is quite possible they have been bred exactly to make only a particular noise, since said noise varies a lot between breeds.

by “structure” i mean that is the underlining concept which determines your chuubanite abilities. read the doc, it’s not changing anything about your lore or whatever, just a more functional word that combines all of the abilities into one physical effect so you can have all of them at once. with that said, i agree with /meat/bro that you shouldn’t simply ham-fist minecraft into this setting. it being the place with the most chuubanite still seems unnecessary even if you use the changes i suggested, and that was based off the idea that everything would be made of perfect cubes. anyways, i’m going to get surgery done, so i might be gone a bit. bye.

Proposal for /ybc/'s chuubanite
It is not that /ybc/ has the most chuubanite, but
It has chuubanite with the shortest half-life
The constant presence of deities and the Conceptual Realm/Catalog leak into means that the Vitubium particles are constantly receiving and expending energy. Which is represented by a very fast discharge rate and low half-life
It's not /ybc/ is 100% chuubanite, but the chuubanite are constantly being used naturally
With the radiation effects of the magic quanta being the polygonal shapes and Minecraft-like mechanics

>>32829123

>i like the idea of reincarnation as being at least one aspect of our beliefs on the afterlife, as it fits well with the overall concept of "rebirth" and, if you think about it, it's literally possible with the magic system in that thread
>the concept of someone is made out of smaller parts, as is their body, and they survive well past the death of the body and are reused elsewhere, but more than that, the idea of a person doesn't lose coherency immediately after they die. this plays into the whole "second death" idea that, if i am not mistaken, is a belief that mexican types actually had, among other religions.
I'd agree with reincarnation but not in the Buddhist-Shinto sense. More of the 'Valhalla' kind of reincarnation. Where the afterlife is more of a Round 2 with a second death still being possible.

>i want to imagine a belief where, upon death, a person will find themselves as nothing but a concept floating in the vastness of the heavenly realm (vitium space, however you want to describe it) that can feel all the things connected to all of the concepts that make them up, (the ultimate suffering) where their consciousness will slowly fade as time goes on, and they are slowly forgotten, unless their legacy lives on in a new host whose likeness to a given individual from the past is recognized before they fully fade away, after which certain rituals may be used to allow the concepts of those two people to merge, changing both of them slightly in the process but recycling to some extent the concepts associated with those individuals.
So in a vein similar to Chinese folk religion? Ancestor worship being important and that you need to ensure they get their prayers and sacrifices to live in the afterlife.

>it will be intentionally left vague as to whether or not it actually works that way, though i want to say i think it is possible given the setting, and somewhat fitting to our religion
Well, it might due to be my own personal belief, with /meat/'s doctrine revolving around Earthly suffering and the imminent apocalypse, there should be some form of divine reward for sticking through it. You endured the hardships of the material realm, you spread the word that the universe will soon come to an end, you practice painful and burdening rituals of ryona to carry on the suffering of life.
After all that you've been through, surely there would be something for you in return.
Also, with /meat/ religion being very focused on Apocalyptical - Immaterial Focused and Esoteric ideas, there should be a really complex afterlife. You faced the messed up physical reality and woke up into the immaterial beyond, there is much work to be done to stave off the End of Everything.

Kyusai-chan's lore may be a starting point.
Her deaths act as a reset counter for sins. She carries the burden of the mortal realm and through her suffering and pain others will be saved.
So I'm thinking of something... syncretic. Similarly to the concept of Nirvana.
A middle-way of 'Reincarnation' and 'Divine-Eschatological Reward'

Nirvana-Valhalla-Mictlan

If we go the Nirvana route it would be like
>If /meat/head does X, they will be reincarnated
>If /meat/head does Y, they will be sent to the true afterlife (immaterial, omniscient paradise)

If we go the Valhalla route it would be like
>If /meat/head does X, they will be reincarnated in Valhalla-limbo. Going through another cycle until their second death.
>If /meat/head does Y, skips Limbo and go to the afterlife.

I'll keep thinking. Trying to fit in 'second deaths', 'reincarnation', and 'divine eschatology' sounds interesting.

glad you enjoyed it! these two chapters were mostly world building and character development instead of actual plot development. I'm planning on having the next chapter be a bit more story driven though.

Also I try.

the secret Meat/KFP alliance...

Tfw chocolate is a taboo product in Vitubia
maybe other tropical/hot climate nations can be an alternative?
/warkop/?

>>32831725
no no please don't I like the idea of chocolate of all things being this contraband luxury that people sneak to eachother under table

>>32831823
>Black Fleet patrolmen confiscating a bunch of chocolate and eating all of it while giggling like schoolgirls.
kino

>>32831725
We could probably grow it on the Four Coins Archipelago but I don think it would be much, so chocolate sourced from nasfaqg would be on the more expensive side

>>32817105
>I'll update it when conlang anon helps us make a language document.
thought you'd never ask. do you want me to create one and then share it (would be on google docs) or do you want me to show you how to create a language then how to lay it out on a document?
>>32818516
if this happens and they're the same language, can i make them different accents?

>>32831823
It was a joke.
I hope authors don't want to start tea smuggling like during the Napoleonic wars

>>32831725
Why is chocolate taboo? I grow cocoa but I can’t make chocolate with it?

>>32831725
This just isn't true

>>32831725
>chocolate is taboo
What? Also /ag/ should be able to grow cocoa beans right? We'd have chocolate. It's good for our projects.

>>32833762
I think anon just meant holo nations get theirs from /meat/ through contraband.

>>32834659
Yeah, many tropical nations can grow it, anon is just memeing because KFP has a bunch of deals under the table with /meat/ despite being friends with /morig/.

>>32834659
Based and same. Hormonal pregnant wives need their chocolate.

>>32835424
Apparently pregnant women really love pickles. That might be only anecdotal, though.

>>32837324
Yeah I’ve heard this one too kek. I hear salty foods and sweet foods are the most common types of cravings. I talked about the black market with traveling merchants bringing outside goods into Luxuria yesterday so it makes me think about wives getting outside food from merchants to satisfy their cravings…

I see what you mean. In that case I would love some guidelines on how to expand and explore the chuubanite implications.
I will 100% hamfist minecraft into this, tho. That's non-negotiable.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!

>>32829415
I'm fine with this proposal

>>32829892
This, really. I don't mind changing phrasing, and all of that stuff. i just thought it made sense at the time, but since it was discouraged I changed it.

Currently I'm writing a Greek Tragedy /with the same literary rules) based of events in the island, so my attention isn't 100% on making sure chuubanite makes sense

>>32842594
/tg/ anon does need to get his ass back here and start making us some /qst/ threads, nanora. Also assuming that /qst/ threads would be a future thing, where would you place a campaign at and what would it be about, nora?

You idiots! You jinxed it! Youre not supposed to acknowledge it!

I just need to divide up the rest of lazulight into regions. Need confirmation before writing things down. Archduchy of Eliria is divided into four regions: Warm North Coast, Cooler South Coast, Plateau Plains, and Mount Piki. The Grand Principality of Syrenia is one region: The Syrenian Deciduous Forest. Do I have permission? It ties into Lazulight geography.

>>32843040
>a Greek Tragedy
Holy based, I wanna read that. Don't worry about the chuubanite too much, I think you got the important bits of the feedback you got. Godspeed.
>>32843094
Ohh, good question... I like those old school adventure quests, so I think I'd open with something like:

You are...
[ ] A Deadbeat...
- [ ] Bounty Hunter
- [ ] New Moon Maiden
- [ ] Young Catalognaut
[ ] A Matiyotl...
- [ ] Raider
- [ ] Varangian Guard
- [ ] Young Catalognaut
[ ] An Infinitum...
- [ ] Archivist
- [ ] Ourobro
- [ ] Young Catalognaut
[ ] A Candy Kingdom...
- [ ] Lusquire
- [ ] Candy Artificer
- [ ] Young Catalognaut
...
etc for however many adventurer types I'd feel comfortable trying to write for, plus a bunch of choices for backstory, maybe the country where the adventurer finds themselves.
>>32843660
Vespiebro! Hopefully uni's treating you well. Good to see you.

>>32843926
Catching what might be the 'rona during the end of the first week has put me in catch-up duty, but I think I'll live. Good to see you to, (vitubium?) deadbeat

>>32843926
Also man, that set up reminds me almost more of when quests were had on /tg/. Ah, the good old days

>>32844137
>>32844217
I do love me some Vitubium... It's going around, huh? My mom caught the rona last week too.
And yes! That's the era of quests that I'm really nostalgic for, those were some good times.

bump. Something nice coming out very soon.

>>32849024
Ohh, I like nice things. Hint?

>>32850500
No hint. Instead, have the answer: a rewritten intro to the Era After, now with a concrete date of 1700 VTE (this however does not mean the Era After uses the VTE dating system, at least, not often at all.)
https://rentry.org/78s3q

There's one more thing I wanted to make but I'm not at my computer right now, so I'll add it in maybe a few hours. In the meantime, have the actual writing. Lemme know what you guys think and of course feel free to ask any questions.

>>32852060
>magic gone
RIP to all the pretty gems risuners would have, if there are even risuners left.

>>32832035
If possible then the first option. But I will wait for the rep on that one. He might want some specific rules in the conlang. Though either way I think we might need to know your process of creating sounds for Holo-dhennet since they have a relatively close relationship.

>if this happens and they're the same language, can i make them different accents?
Probably. Off the top of my head, Sapling elders and saplings father along the conversion mostly use forest sense to communicate, so for those living around the deepest part of the forest would have the most linguistic influence from /who/.

>>32777473
Maybe not as cool as the other guys' stuff, but here's chapter two of the misadventures in Elysium before I go to bed. Have a good everyone.
https://rentry.org/eg2mf

>>32852060
Oh, that's a nice breakdown, this really feels like the introductory blurb for an RPG setting or a video game. I like this idea of the apocalypse having those distinct worsening phases; first, the stock markets absolutely eat shit, pretty much overnight. Then, the societies are thrown into chaos as all sorts of things stop working. Then, schizos, their rrats amped up beyond anything imaginable before that by the massive deicide explode in one last glorious burst of schizo activity. And then, finally, nature itself, the slowest to react, has the consequences catch up to it, and enters a crisis. Just a great narrative setup...

>>32852746
>Two lines in
>Puns
I love those guys so much... They're really not ready for this. This is a cliffhanger and there's another chapter coming, right? I'm kinda worried for them, Luth doesn't sound too confident.

>>32852746
It's short, but sweet! I really like the writing style here, it gives it a nice sort of adventurous feel even though the characters are in danger.

>>32840206
You have been MIA for a while, huh? And yep, he couldn't help but pull a Cunt himself in the end kek!

>>32841000
Aaaand he went right back to sleep after this, I bet.

>>32842160
And all it took was my nerves. 2 fucking hours and 15 minutes. You slut really do owe me something for that. And the next timeloop is for someone else to mediate. I say rosebro, he hasn't suffered enough.

>>32842594
True, it has been a while since he posted, hasn't it? We even had a guy come in telling us that the next update was supposed to be huge or something.

>>32843094
/mans/. Objective: survive.

>>32844137
Ayyy, glad to have you back. Don't worry about catching up or anything, it was all drama and timeloops while you were gone.

>>32853546
Oh, I'm absolutely planning on making one or more chapters. It might become my little go-to series when I can't think of anything else to write. And don't worry, Luth is just a worrywart~ And is probably justified in this case. This is largely based on the Furyhorn/Ragelope, if you've ever played Etrian Oddysey.
>>32854060
I was a tad worried I was being a bit too light hearted, but we'll see where I take it. Don't know how well I can write combat so you might just get the aftermath.

>>32854732
Glad to be (somewhat) back, and also that I don't have to worry about dumpster diving I guess! I see you've started to post rat a bit, looking to make your home in the mountains, eh?

>>32855337
Yea, in the end I settled with the bbrats, gonna leave the guys to you. Sorry bout the wahler timeloop by the way, know that it really wasn't my intention to cause trouble, shit just spiraled out of control too fast.

>>32855492
Water under the bridge for me, don't worry. I hope /wah/ler, if they're around, hasn't felt abandoned with my absence...

>>32854732
>True, it has been a while since he posted
Well, not necessarily huge, just that there's been some movement in his google doc, so that got me huffing hopium... I still belieb.
>>32854810
Nice, that sounds like a good setup. Etrian Odyssey? Based pick. I love this dynamic of /MANS/ drawing from those JRPG bestiaries while /morig/ nabs monsters from soulsborne games, we're like the "terrifying vydia beasts" islands of the Holosea.

If Panon is up before I'm up could you relay a question to him. I need some input on geography. Specifically this. >>32843843

>>32855672
I think wahler has been busy with school, just like you, actually.

>>32855713
Pass me the hopium pipe mate, let's get high on that shit together.

>>32855895
Yea, I'll pass it on when I see him. Thanks for your work, Rep.

>>32856592
It was more me trying to figure out my routine than doing research. I still have some details I need to fine tune. Like how the forest thins out in between the north and south coasts due to cooler currents not bringing in as much rain. This makes the southern coast more like a shrubland than a proper forest. The plateau seems to have the same oceanic climate throughout Lazulight. It only gets colder when you reach the slopes of Mt. Ember in /haha/. And having a deciduous forest around the lake is a no-brainer. It even extends to the base of /haha/'s mountains. Deciduous forests are also full of mushrooms. Truffles would most likely be found in Syrenia.

>>32852060
And here's that actual thing: me using Stable Diffusion and paint.net plugins to make a logo/banner for the Era After!
It's in the introduction now. Might get added to the index too, not sure. But for now, I rest. I'll figure out what to write next later

They want Panon and Alice to stop posting, yet they still complain

>>32879392
They wanted the satisfaction of driving anons off the project presumably. But we just used a completely different method of directing all that stuff to a place that they can't access. And now they are mad. Just ignore them and don't bring the subject up.

Alright, Nasfaqbros, continuing our conversation. Umm.. what are nasfaq adventurers like? would they be similar to KAG adventurers?

>>32879500
Progess!

>>32879616
Nice work!!!!

>>32879543
Could you tell meabout K.A.G adventurers? I havent yet read the story, so fi they are explained in that, then tell me so i can go check it out

>>32879786
Basically, think of Spanish Conquistadors that aren't aggressive. They are looking for lost wonders of the world to become rich. That's the gist. The Tachibana Go story illustrates this well imo.
>In spite of this, the Company has many volunteers and adventurers that make up what is essentially the muscle of the K.A.G. In the quest to find more gold and treasure in foreign lands in recent years.
This is sort of what I put and need to update.

GReAT!!! (capital e is broke now!!!)

>>32879543
I have imagined that they would be quite diverse. I think that the biggest distinction one can make about them is whether they are individual adventurers or company-bound ones.

Individual adventurers are people from all walks of life who seek to "make it". They could be prospectors, miners, scholars, artifact hunters, even individual cartographers and explorers. Considering that /nasfaqg/'s population generally descends or has emigrated from the Holonations, some people might be more inclined to go towards their home regions. I'd think that there are three subtypes of adventurers like that: wanderlust-struck travelers, independent contractors, and aspiring traders.
The wanderlust-struck travelers could be rich or poor, adventuring for the sake of adventure. Writers, scholars, or maybe just regular people for whom their journey became their nature. They probably have some way of sustaining themselves to make the ends meet, and might partake in an occasional odd job. Likely the source of unusual professions at the taverns.
The independent contractors, in contrast, are professionals who travel because it is their job. As mentioned before, cartographers, geologists, researchers, archeologists, natural scientists. They are likely business- and profit-oriented, and are hired either for a single task or permanently. For example, if you were dealing with a jungle region and wanted to evaluate the high-value substances found in wildlife, you might consider going to the /nasfaqg/ main island to hire one or a group of botanists and zoologists. This might be attractive to K.A.G. since their adventurer teams could get expertise outside of their usual circle of knowledge.
Finally, there are the aspiring traders. In order to start trading on the NASFAQ Stock Exchange, one must gather enough money to be admitted - the so-called "starting funds". For some, it comes easier, in the form of inheriting enough (which I'd imagine is somewhat looked down upon, if you haven't worked for it), acting as an individual merchant, or taking over a business and running it successfully. However, some people would seek fortune elsewhere. They are treasure-hunters, artifact-seekers, dealmakers, sometimes with extraordinarily bright futures, and while hiring one is extremely unlikely since if they are both acting alone and trying to earn the "starting funds" for themselves they likely treasure independence more than anything. However, running into one or a team lead by one on adventures might happen. Some of them might be future plutocrats in the making. Epoch has started his career in this way, for example.

Then, you have the company-bound adventurers. They are similar to independent contractors, but they likely send entire teams on their own, so while K.A.G. could hire them they have their squads and philosophy of operations. If K.A.G. were to be interested in cooperating with one of them, me or Nasfaqronie could probably come up with an idea and MO for a custom one. Tripoint has technically two: Remgaph Legacy Mining, who do large-scale exploration and archaeological excavation and the Ka-Ti Institute which mostly supplies individual adventurers and experts or small groups of them.

Can you tell me more about K.A.G. adventurers or direct to a doc that has the information?
