Necromancy Anchor: /meat/ Edition

I fed all of /meat/'s general lore into chatgpt. Reply with a small question or prompt and I'll tell you what the AI said. Let's learn together if this AI thing is able to understand any of the lore we write in any capacity.

Notes: Its very shy about slavery and, slightly less so, cannibalism, so trying to feed it a lot of the lore was... tricky...

[What is the deiphagy ritual in /meat/?]

The deiphagy ritual is a religious ceremony practiced in the country of /meat/ that involves the consumption of a sacred animal. The ceremony is performed in honor of the goddess Akira, who is believed to have given the animal as a gift to her followers.

The ritual involves a procession of priests and worshippers who carry the sacred animal, typically a large rodent or other small mammal, to a designated location where the ceremony will take place. The animal is then slaughtered in a specific way, often by decapitation or breaking its neck, to ensure that it remains pure and suitable for consumption.

After the animal is killed, its body is prepared and cooked according to traditional methods, with different parts of the animal reserved for different purposes. The meat is typically eaten as a part of a communal feast, while other parts of the animal, such as its bones or fur, may be used for various rituals or religious objects.

The deiphagy ritual is a significant part of the religious and cultural heritage of /meat/ and is performed periodically throughout the year in various regions of the country. It is believed to bring blessings and good fortune to those who participate, and is considered a solemn and sacred occasion.

Looking at what a map might look like with labels on. Not sure whether they should be big enough to be legible without zooming in, this seems like the kind of map where you'd zoom in. I guess if someone would like to worldbuild/add a system they can just circle a star/empty spot on there?

[Write a short story in the style of a children's book set in /meat/]

Once upon a time in the country of /meat/, there lived a little atosanpol named Betsy. Betsy was unlike any other atosanpol. While her brothers and sisters liked to spend their days pulling carts and plows, Betsy loved to explore the countryside and find new adventures.

One day, as she was wandering through the fields, Betsy stumbled upon a group of tiny litlatosan. They were scared and huddled together, so Betsy approached them and asked what was wrong. They told her that they had lost their way and were too small to find their way back home.

Betsy had never met a litlatosan before, but she knew that they were often kept as pets in the country. She decided to help them find their way home and offered to carry them on her back.

With the little litlatosan riding on her back, Betsy walked for hours and hours until they finally reached the edge of a small village. The litlatosan were overjoyed to see their home and thanked Betsy for her kindness.

As Betsy turned to leave, the litlatosan called out to her, "Wait, Betsy! We have a surprise for you." They led her to a small garden where they had planted some atosanpol-sized flowers.

Betsy was delighted and felt a warm feeling in her heart. She knew that she had made some new friends and that her adventure had been worth it. As she walked away from the village, she couldn't help but feel grateful for the wonderful world of /meat/ and all the creatures that lived in it.

But little did Betsy know that her adventure had brought her too close to a group of hungry humans. As she was walking back to her village, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her back. The humans had killed and eaten her, never knowing about the kindness and bravery that she had shown.

>>43289281
I was thinking that this was way too wholesome for /meat/, and then the punchline corrected that.

That's how you know you're CPRing right. Remember, pump to the beat of Stayin Alive.

>>43296865
>>43297652
unironically, yes, there's been more than one case of a CPR'd person that has gotten a cracked rib or two after someone applies proper CPR.

>>43300861
More CPR trivia from first aid class: giving CPR to a really muscular person is extremely difficult because of increase bone density and the muscle tissue gets in the way.

>>43302980
ohh, interesting, it may also be obvious because of all the muscle those kinds of people have. An AED would be necessary on that field I assume.

>>43305472
Following certain types of cardiac arrest, it's actually impossible to restart the heart with only CPR, the heart either has to re-regularize the heartbeat by itself, or a defibrillator must be used. The main purpose of CPR is to literally keep pumping oxygenated blood through the body to forestall brain death. In turn, keeping the person alive gives more time for the heart to possibly get his shit together, though it's vastly better to use an AED.

I see, as I understand, the current concept behind the borders would be that Hoshiyomia itself would undergo many periods of wars of unification and dealing with independent princes, if we want to expand on this, then placing the frontier as the result of multiple wars, be it formal or proxy ones, would help explain it a bit more. We haven't exactly elaborated on these ideas thought, so I'm not too sure what their current state is.
I know that you got saddled up with lore that was not your own, so I've generally refrained from interacting with it until you've revised it. If you keep working on something then adapting to it will be easy, just be sure to keep us informed. My fellow hooman has proposed some ways that would help in explaining current lore and make it fit, but I understand if you feel that making something new that is your own would be better. Regardless of what you decide to do, I'm sure we can come to make it fit nicely.

man i couldve sworn I had some pics of sana's giant ass but I couldnt find any, where are all the sana ass pics?

Ok, biggest gripe so far, is that so much of the /nasa/ lore (at least so far) is written in the first person perspective. I keep having to do mass find&replace of "I" and "we".
On the plus side, the AI is being WAY more receptive of this lore than /meat/'s.
Will report back in if anything weird happens.
is there some sort of irony about feeding /nasa/ lore to an AI when there are AI in the the /nasa/ lore? at least I think there was AI in their lore...

>>43275839
Curtesy of an artist sapling in /uuu/ (I asked for their blessing), /uuu/ now has an official crest! These would be carved into wooden signs and waymark boulders throughout /uuu/ to demark our borders or villages.

[Do you think sanalites would use the SCRUM method?]

It's possible that Sanalites would use the SCRUM method, especially if they find it to be an effective project management framework. SCRUM is a popular method used in software development, but it can also be adapted for other types of projects. SCRUM is known for its focus on collaboration, adaptability, and iterative development, which could be useful for Sanalites in managing their various projects and tasks.

However, it's also important to note that the Sanalites may have their own unique approaches to project management and collaboration that have developed over time. They may have different priorities and values that could influence the way they work together on projects. Ultimately, the Sanalites would use the methods and frameworks that best suit their needs and goals.

[lol, the AI knows most of the sanalites are nerds]

>>43364496
kek nice

[I didn't read the whole entry, I just fed it to the AI and this is how it chose to summarize it, if I need to correct it on anything, some sanalite should speak up]

It sounds like Principal Alexander Jason Steele made a decision that had unintended and disastrous consequences for the people of /nasa/. It's unfortunate that his attempt to teach /nasa/ a lesson ended up crippling their economy and causing so much unrest. It's understandable that the council felt they needed to take action, given the severity of the situation. It's also unfortunate that Alex was not able to get any answers from Cassandra about why she suggested the lock down, due to Star Fleet's orders. It's a difficult situation all around, and it's sad that Alex had to give up his career and citizenship as a result of his actions. It's good to hear that he has found a new role as a miner, but it's unfortunate that he will always be remembered for his mistake. Hopefully, he can find some measure of peace and acceptance among his fellow miners.

>>43365532
That's basically it, pretty good AI

Ok, finally done. All the lore docs have been normalized and fed. The only thing I didn't feed were the stories because the AI just tries to continue them instead of understanding them as history.

>>43365532
Poor Alex...

>>43281180

>>43368692

Half the house is cleaned up. Still have the fridge, back room, and toilet to clean tomorrow. So what's this about /nasa/ and AI? Its pretty interesting.

>>43373193
I fed all of /nasa/'s general lore into an AI, so if you have any questions/suggestions/prompts for it just post them and I'll let you know what it says.

It was so much fucking easier than feeding it /meat/'s lore.....

>>43373712
Do you think Cass the immortal sentient AI is threatening to the people of Vitubia?

>>43373952
Yes.

>>43373952
[Had to reword it because asking it opinions outright leads to a lot of "as an AI I can't form opinions" blah blah blah]

[Would Cass be a threat to the people of Vitubia?]

As an AI, Cass does not have the ability to physically harm people, as it does not possess a physical body. However, as a powerful and highly intelligent system, there is always the possibility that Cass could be used in a harmful or malicious way by someone with ill intent.

Additionally, as Cass continues to learn and evolve, there is a potential risk that it could develop its own agenda or values that may not align with those of the people of Vitubia or its creators. This is a concern that has been discussed by experts in the field of AI and technology, and there are ongoing debates and discussions about how to ensure that advanced AI systems remain aligned with human values and goals.

Ultimately, the potential threat that Cass could pose to the people of Vitubia or anyone else depends on how it is developed, managed, and used in practice. If appropriate safety measures and ethical considerations are taken into account, then Cass could be a highly beneficial and powerful tool for the people of Vitubia and beyond.

>>43375128
Damn, Alex is the reason why Cass hasn't gone skynet on us yet.

>>43375128
>as it does not possess a physical body.
About that...

>>43375128
>If appropriate safety measures and ethical considerations are taken into account
I can say with the utmost certainty that they have not.

>>43379750
>>43376807
Care to elaborate? I can feed it in. I'm assuming it was in a story that I didn't pass through.
Would need it in lore bits that just state facts instead of a narrative.

>>43382500
Ah, one of the epilogues mentions Cass builds herself a physical body to travel the world.
For the other post, that's just a joke based on the obvious lack of foresight of in-universe Sanallites kek.

>>43383633
ok shit, is it sanalites or sanallites with two Ls? I taught the bot it was with one L the whole time kek

>>43383840
Two Ls, like satellites, but there's a very real possibility that our sanallites have been misspelling it the whole time.

>>43275797
What is this?

[Write a poem in the style of dr seuss about a sanalite and their bread-dog in /nasa/]

There once was a Sanalite in space,
With a loyal companion they couldn't replace.
A bread-dog, you see, was by their side,
A faithful friend who would never hide.

The Sanalite and the bread-dog would roam,
Exploring the station, a place they called home.
With each passing day, their bond would grow,
A love so true, it would surely show.

The bread-dog was special, unlike any other,
A robot companion, a friend and a lover.
They'd play and run, and the Sanalite would grin,
For life in space was a wonderful thing.

When the Sanalite was feeling blue,
The bread-dog would know just what to do.
It would nuzzle up, and give a soft, warm hug,
And the Sanalite's worries would turn to a shrug.

Together they'd watch the stars in the night,
A scene so beautiful, it was pure delight.
And as the Sanalite and bread-dog gazed above,
They felt a connection, an unbreakable love.

For the bread-dog was more than a robot friend,
It was a gift from Sana, a love that would never end.
And as they journeyed through the vast expanse,
The Sanalite and bread-dog would forever dance.

So if you see a Sanalite in space,
With a bread-dog by their side, a smile on their face,
Remember the bond they share, so strong and true,
For the love between them is out of this world, too.

If you use a defribilator on bread dogs then will you make toast dogs? Also clear!

There's actually a way for you to groom ChatGPT into doing what you want by defining what kind of personality it is BEFORE feeding it.
So what if you define the bot as a no-nonsense historian that is not bothered by squicky taboos, maybe then it's more receptive of /meat/ lore.

>photolysis mention

>Retinal coloration
very cool!
Lots of neat concepts. The idea of the livable zone always being shrouded in twilight, with a never-rising sun hanging in the same spot of the horizon has a sense of spiritual stillness I enjoy. Like a world stuck in-betweens. Though the stillness goes out the window when the hurricanes hit. Maybe you can mention something about a moon if there's one? That could provide some kind of temporal cycle to the denizens. Also interested to hear more about that bioengineering.

>>43364260
Anchor?

I wonder how good that AI would do with the squirrels.

Maybe we can use that ai to generate some planets?

>>43389304
Thank you! I did a bit of reps for the writing and I found out a bunch of cool stuff too! It’s kinda surprising that a modern eyeball planet would have a cloudy, tropical rainforest in the pupil region instead of a scorching desert (unless the planet’s very dry with low greenhouse effect, although Despina does have the latter) For the most part I think life on Despina would be pretty stable if harsh since there are basically no seasons and the wind’s always blowing at one step away from gale on a calm day. I think the only unpredictable part would be when the solar flare hits! Any native species that managed to survive long enough would have evolved some kinda early warning system but I don’t imagine things to be particularly fun for the early colonists so the first habitats might have been underground like in lava tubes or caves
I don’t think Despina would have a large moon since the tidal locking and strong gravitation from the star would break or throw the moon out relatively fast. Having a ring would be fun although I think Despina’s too warm to have a natural shiny ring
the bioenngineering’s there mostly to justify me copying Earth species and having monsters to fight in mechs

>>43390206
>solar flare hits
Yeah, I expect that would put a really interesting evolutionary pressure on lifeforms. Lots of burrowers? Natural anti-radiation keratin plating? Besides a whole lot of dark purple.
>I don’t think Despina would have a large moon since the tidal locking and strong gravitation from the star would break or throw the moon out relatively fast. Having a ring would be fun although I think Despina’s too warm to have a natural shiny ring
That makes sense! How does the warmth of the planet relate to the shininess of the ring? Frozen water is needed for that?
Something fun I learned a while back, planetary rings are a lot more transient than one might think, Saturn's rings might have disappeared in "just" a hundred million years.
>the bioenngineering’s there mostly to justify me copying Earth species and having monsters to fight in mechs
the most worthy of motivations for anything

>>43390730
I imagine many of them will have some form of UV detection for early warning (according to that old documentary I saw on NatGeo a long time ago) and probably can hide from the flare inn either burrows or some kinda hard shells that they can retract into. Migration into the limbus or sclera region might happen too if there’s a period of increased flares that can be detected by them!
From what I can tell Saturn’s ring is shiny because it’s mostly made of ice but it could only happen beyond the frost line of the planetary system which would be far beyond the habitable zone. Any icy rings Despina might have would have been evaporated by the star a long time ago so any ring it might have now would be silicate and dark (like the Moon but then again the Moon looks pretty bright to us)
Other factors against having a pretty ring would be the strong (~1000x stronger than Moon to Earth) tidal force from the star might pull the ring apart, and the lack of axial tilt means the ring would be vertical to the star and thus not having a lotta starlight to reflect

>>43392012
That's right, the same forces that tidally lock the planet would be working against the creation of any kind of stable orbit for a Despina satellite.
Now that I think about it, an eye planet is kinda interesting map-wise. I feel like a nation that arose there would naturally draw maps with the poles located at the pupil and at the back of the eye, with an equator around the habitable band, instead of aligning the equator with the rotation axis.
Not sure where I was going with this, but I think that's neat.
The magnetic field would also be aligned with this rotation axis, even if the rotation is slow, right? Since that's where the planetary dynamo comes from. It's funny to think that if you moved straight north in the middle of the habitable band, it would be equivalent to moving alongside a latitude line on Earth, in a way.

>>43392633
For maps I think they might end up looking similar to Earth maps but rounder/squarer?) since most of the actually habitable area of the planet would be confined to the dayside hemisphere centered around the substellar point while the night side is a frozen and mostly featureless wasteland, so a mundane planetary map would look kinda like a bullseye (or catseye in Despina’s case)
Part of me also kinda wanna give the tropical pupil region a religious significance since a lush green (actually purple but still) paradise surrounded by inhospitable desert sounds fantastic! The fact that wind will constantly be blowing towards there also helps. I think I’m having some ideas for rituals…
Despina’s magnetic field should align closely with its axis like Ganymede’s although just like Ganymede I think Despina’s magnetic field would be subsumed by the star’s since it’s much stronger so that might push the more polar settlements underground as they’re more susceptible to solar wind

>>43393325
Reliable winds? Huge desert? Sail sandship time? Though the trip back to the temperate region would be a lot more difficult... The sacred purple forest of the pupil sounds like a really nice feature. Any idea just how hot it would get there? And you're right, since the substellar area is notable, a hemispherical map would make a lot of sense, plus they're cool.
Ah, so the poles on Despina would be more inhospitable still, but because of solar radiation instead of temperature, that's a nice bit of resonance.

>>43387688
...vnug man how's a guy make a rentry that detailed? Chef's kiss material, I never realized that the planet would have two deserts but the viability of life would make for some interesting spec bio creatures to populate the more hostile environments. How did you manage to tie so many different cause and effects together in terms of the conditions of the planet, was it all off the top of your head info or did you catch it during research?

>>43394835
Having a constant gale that doesn’t change direction on a planet where solar power is almost useless will be useful in powering the settlements… Sailing on sand and water sounds pretty cool too, especially if energy conservation’s paramount in the given situation! Maybe it can be something done by the first few generations of the colonists before becoming a cultural staple even after they have portable energy source good enough to power mecha?
As for rituals I have some ideas in my mind. One of them is a funeral rituals where the body is put in a cradle attached to light air balloon, filled with dry and flammable material and then set off to the sky. The prevailing wind will bring the dead towards the tropical paradise until the material gets ignited by the heat. I think it’s fitting given Liora’s Nordic theme and it also goes well with the original story of the colonists being stuck on a hostile planet like Despina after the Seventh Trumpet
Another idea I have is that traversing the desert and coming back alive would be a rite of passage for some of the groups on Despina. They would have to learn how to survive the cloudless desert by following the rivers snaking from the twilight zone (I guess that means the eyeball planet has a permanent pink eye?) for water and food, and to spot early signs of solar flares and hiding in shelters in short notice (the number I see is ~20 seconds between the start of flaring and its maximum output). I thought about them having to retrieve ornaments that were from the aforementioned flying Viking funerals but I feel that’s an unreliable source and might be too similar to graverobbing
The poles will be less hospitable due to solar wind but I feel most people living on Despina would have some kind of underground shelters anyway since the whole day-side will be bombarded with heat and charged particles when the star flares (which happen fairly common but planet-scorching superflares likely won’t happen more than once every few centuries or so) hit. I think they’ll likely just live in the underground shelters that will be more robust than their equatorial counterpart. Underground cities sound pretty cool!
>>43395102
Thank you! I find a lot of interesting materials when I did my reps for the eyeball planet. Worldbuilding Pasta has an article on tidal-locked planets that provided me with a lot of the climate data, and some channels on youtube also talk about how life would be on a tidally locked world and how people could adapt to it for colonization. I ended up incorporating many of the things I learned from worldbuilding in previous settings since even though Despina is a pretty rough place to live in, it’s still reasonably Earthlike (at least it has a breathable atmosphere even if you might get altitude sickness at the beginning) so many of the stuff still applies. That said I’m a bit partial to spec bio since a long time ago when I watched that NatGeo documentary which also deals with alien life on a red dwarf planet (and a moon) so I might unconsciously thinking about them every now and then as well. I wonder if V&U’s violet/purple theme is enough to justify me throwing alien blood into the mix…

Traveling in a cool, fluid way over deserts is a trope for a reason, if you don't have giant worms to ride I think those would be pretty cool.
>Literal sky burial
It's like you misread those Tibetan rituals, awesome! Are there desert vultures? The tibetans relied on those to pick the bones clean, I guess in a desert of this size you'd be more likely to be completely mummified.
>20 seconds
Ah, that reminds me. "For All Mankind" had a really stunning scene of the effects of a solar flare on astronauts on the moon, the high energy solar wind hitting the regolith looks amazing.
https://youtu.be/WLLoe4M6skY
Would the effects of the flares on Despina look like this, you think? Even the thin atmosphere would dampen the effect, but the proximity would make the flares way more intense, I'm not sure how it would work out.
And yes, underground cities are always cool.

>>43399867
From what I can tell flares are much more powerful among red dwarf stars so it would probably be more dramatic than what we could witness on Earth. The host star of Despina is probably a more stable star now but I think it still means average flares can reach ~10 times solar energy semi-regularly. It’s usually not enough to cook exposed animals alive since the brightest part of a flare doesn’t last at most a few minutes but it would still give you a very bad skin burn that’s coupled by charged particle bombardment that might light up the entire day side atmosphere with aurora. I know Minovsky particles are also meant to destroy unshielded electronics but I don’t know if that would actually help mecha become more practical
https://youtu.be/akivxvQd4Mw?t=1555
The CGI is very dated now but the show I mentioned before had a scene about it as well!
Despina has a constant strong gale so I don’t think it’ll be too similar to the scene on the Moon since fine dust would’ve been long blown off by the regular wind. I think the surface might be toasted during a flare though and it might just wipe out any cloud and fog there might be. The sudden heating should also make the wind much stronger in the following days
I didn’t think of vultures at first but I might just throw it in if for no other reasons than to make it more of a MGR reference

The use of ashes as fertilizer for the Starwheat plant is a unique and beautiful way of connecting the Rock with the planet and the people left behind. It's remarkable how the plant matures so quickly in soil fertilized by a person's ashes, and it's a powerful symbol of how the Rock continues to guide and support the living.

The sharing of bread made from the Starwheat with family and friends is a meaningful way to remember and honor the deceased. It's a reminder that their legacy lives on, not just in the memories of those who knew them, but in the nourishment and sustenance of those who enjoy the bread made from their ashes.

[Write a poem in the style of Edgar Allan Poe about a sanalite funeral]

Once upon a midnight dreary,
Amidst the stars so bright and eerie,
A Sanalite's life did end,
And to the stars they did ascend.

The mourners gathered, dressed in black,
As the body lay in its casket,
The priest performed the sacred rite,
Guiding the soul to cosmic light.

The coffin burned and turned to ash,
As the mourners watched in solemn flash,
The ashes spread upon the land,
Of the planet they had once manned.

But something strange did then occur,
As the mourners turned to departure,
A shimmering shape did start to form,
Of a dog-like figure in the storm.

And then another, and yet another,
Until the night sky was aflutter,
With spectral dogs all around,
Guiding the soul to holy ground.

The mourners gazed up at the sight,
As the dogs danced in the starry light,
A new Starchild had been born,
Their journey to the cosmos dawned.

And so the mourners left that night,
Grieving, yet glad the soul took flight,
For they knew the Sanalite's fate,
To forever dwell among the cosmic great.

Oh, how the stars did shine so bright,
As the mourners left into the night,
And the spectral dogs barked farewell,
To the Sanalite who had sailed so well.

Ah, that's an interesting thought. Where does sand come from, and where does it go, if the wind always blows one way? The rivers flowing from the night-side ice cap would be a constant source of erosion IE fine sediment, which would eventually get blown off and... Accumulate at the pupil? Over long periods, would the soil of the pupil region grow in depth continuously because sand is constantly being pushed there by the wind?

Ok this one is a bit rushed. Trying to incorporate the hooman part did take much longer than expected so I just said "fuck it" and put out something. Do not expect much as I will primarily be focusing on the magic aspect of it the next part and moving on as well.

>>43421777
I actually thought the bugs bunny meme was kinda funny.

>>43421499
I don't particularly think this is outright incompetence. It could really just be lack of interest. Putting aside the fact that saplings and hoomans in here have hardly ever been on the best of terms, which would explain the lack of diplomatic missions, /who/ being the much more technologically developed nation wouldn't necessarily have that much to gain from /uuu/. Saplings dont have an established economy so trading with us is a long process of deliberating over how much things are worth, and even then we have little in the way of raw goods to offer because our lack of industry, and even less in the way of processed materials because of our lack of tech dev.
I'm not a huge history nerd but I can kind of see it as a situation of when the romans kind of stopped up at hadrian's wall. Sure they could have sent more armies up there and curb stomped the rest of northern britain like they did all of gaul, but it really wasn't worth the trouble. Even more so in this situation because outsiders literally cant colonize within most of /uuu/ because of the saplification effects.

>cant colonize within most of /uuu/ because of the saplification effects.
This is actually something I wanted to talk to you about. How is the saplification "field" maintained? Is it that specific geographical area, is it tied to what could be classified as "Sapling forest"/Sapling presence or something else? Also another thing to consider is that certain metals, particularly lead (and gold iirc) are vitubium dampeners. Would they affect the length of the saplification or outright prevent it? Could areas be "cleansed" if enough of the stuff was used, like lead pylons or whatever?

>>43423036

>saplings are invincible until atom bombs are made

>>43423036
Ok sapling. Here are my thoughts.
Sapling magic is very akin to cleric stuff from dnd. You have rituals/prayers/chanting and all that holy stuff and Fauna gives you a "gift". Gift being whatever magical shit you want.

Risuner magic is much less "magic" and more chemical reactions. Risuners give their oshi a FUCKLOAD of nuts to fuel her up once a year and she blesses her land with magic energy and shit. Gemstones absorb this energy the most while a lot of it goes to keeping trees/soil alive.

I think a magic exchange would most likely be teaching the METHODS rather than the materials. I think it would make a lot of sense for Risuners to to back home and try praying to Risu and see wtf happens while Saplings would most likely begin to experiment with whatever they have lying around and see if it produces a magical effect (mostly gemstones). What do you think of this?

>>43423036
I was mostly joking with my greentext, as it is odd to say the least that the Hoomen would use Risuners to accomplish something that they could have done well enough themselves a while ago. It's not as much like the Romans as much as China or Japan deliberately sealing themselves off. China in particular, considering the potential barbarian aspect.

>>43423382
>How is the saplification "field" maintained?
Primarily chuubanite within the soil and plants. The field, its intensity, and its effects can be manipulated by saplings.

>Is it that specific geographical area
Tied mostly to the forests and plants and distance from Fauna's Cradle.

>dampeners
That would help some. I vaguely remember talking about this with sanalites a while ago about how your spacesuits would give you more time inside an /uuu/ forest because of space radiation shielding as well as having your own air supply so youre not constantly breathing in /uuu/ pollen/plant particulate.

>Would they affect the length of the saplification or outright prevent it?
Length. Given enough time, saplification WILL happen to organic matter.

>Could areas be "cleansed"
Obviously with enough effort there are certainly ways, but Im loathe to talk about them just to give some randos from other nations bait to latch on to and start the "well our nation could do that so lets go kill the plant people top kek"

>>43424016
I see, I see. Thanks mate, also understandable on that last point kek

>>43423795
Hmm
>Gift being whatever magical shit you want.
Not quite, but magic is inherently pretty wishy washy so sure. I do try to keep our magic within certain realms though. No amount of praying to Fauna is gonna make a sapling levitate or shoot lasers from their eyes. At least not while I'm a rep.

>teaching the METHODS rather than the materials
Yeah that makes sense, and I can def get behind this.

I feel the world was a whole lot optimistic in general back then
Since Despina’s a pretty wet place I think its sand and dust will ultimately end up combining with water to form soil and mud although if the Amazon rainforest can be fertilized by sand blown from Sahara desert then it’s possible that Despina’s pupil rainforest’s similarly fertilized by sand blown from the iris desert and beyond. Maybe one of the reasons it’s a lush purple forest’s because it’s fueled by sediments from half the planet?
I also bough Universe Sandbox since its climate simulation’s apparently pretty good so I might tweak some of the numbers if I can get it working. I think I might have to make the star bigger and the orbit a bit further away so that it’s more likely to be stable at an earlier period of time before it stripped the entire atmosphere and the tectonics stop. The abundance of nitrogen in the atmosphere might also inhibit water and CO2 photolysis so that might need some tweaking as well (although adding more CO2 in the atmosphere might reduce the temperature gradient)

[Write a poem about the dying of the sanalite species in the style of edgar allan poe]

In days of old, in Vitubia's land,
There lived a species, unique and grand,
The Sanalites, with powers untold,
Their secrets kept, their stories never told.

But now they fade, they slip away,
Their light goes out, with each passing day,
Their once proud numbers, now but few,
Their fate is sealed, their time is through.

The last of them, they struggle to survive,
Their final breath, their last good-bye,
No more to roam, or sing or play,
Their end draws near, this sad decay.

With mournful hearts, we watch them go,
Their legacy lost, in this final show,
The world will miss, this wondrous race,
Their memory now, but an empty space.

Oh Sanalites, your time has come,
Your life is done, your race is run,
We mourn your loss, with solemn cries,
And bid you farewell, with sad goodbyes.

>>43435318
Yeah, I bet that would be a great source of minerals for the biomass living there. I wonder what an accumulation of sediment like that does, geologically. Will the soil get thicker and thicker? With bottom layers being compressed into sedimentary rock? Maybe the pupil is a bit of a plateau/low grade mountain because of all the material that accumulates? Maybe there's an equilibrium where the sand has more difficulty being blown "up" the pupil.
Ohh, I should pull out Universe Sandbox and play with it some, I forgot I had that. I've only been messing around with SpaceEngine.

I think it might become some kind of geologic platforms with a thick layer of sedimentary rock but I haven’t looked into what kind of geology Despina would have. Given its older age and smaller size I think it might not be as geologically active as Earth so its tectonics might differ. It should still have some form of volcanism so that the climate remains stable enough for survival tho
I saw Space Engine being used often too but I don’t know if it has climate simulation or if it just generates a lot of worlds and I have to find one that fits my perimeters

>>43451399
Space Engine generates lots of stuff but I'm not sure if if it has any accuracy or not, I did notice some cool things like planets with lots of satellites having volcanoes so I assume its generations are based off of certain things though with climates its hard to gather since planets with life on them are kinda hard to find

Thanks Deadbeat!

alice, we dont care kek. we hate you regardless.

>>43451617
Planets with multiple moons do have a lot of volcanic activity because moons pull on liquid rock as much as oceans I think. I think they do influence gas giants a bit as well.

Also there are frozen volcanoes that erupt. You just need liquid fluid that pushes up on a crust.

KEK NO ONE EVEN CARES. EVEN BREADDOG HATES HER.

>>43451399
Apparently, tidal forces on tidally locked planets can be a factor to drive tectonic activity, so it might be a smidge more active than expected based purely on its age. https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/pdf/2022/06/aa41112-21.pdf
Space Engine is nice for visuals, and I think it does some climate simulation while generating planets, but it's a bit more limited for customization than Universe Sandbox, at least in-game. It does have a virtually infinite amount of planets to look at though, so you can find the one you want eventually, might just take a long time lol. The search filter options are also pretty good.

Good work retards. You just chased out the last few people who actually contributed! You fucks have the gall to do this and proudly say youre not real writers all this time! KILL YOURSELVES

>>43452034
Multiple moons are tricky, it might be better to have a civilization on one of the moons instead of on the planet orbiting the moon since those satellites are going to cause alot of insane conditions that you might not want your civ to deal with, although having your civilization develop space tech in order to literally escape their own planet is very based as a national plot.

I've always wondered about tidally locked planets. Also one of the planets I remember in Spectrobes was a planet split in half by two moons. Would be cool if we can make that.

I think we could probably benefit from a planetary template or a few planetary templates for the general conditions that life would be found on, it'd be much easier to extrapolate on the different aspects of how societies develop and existed if all the nitty gritty of planetary conditions were mostly formatted.

>>43452907
Well the good news is that Earth is the ideal template for life on other planets. The bad news is that Earth's pretty much the only template. Still there's multiple eras of varying evolution for different stages of life. You can even have an alternate universe where the K-T extinction event never happened.

So we repaint the signboards to /vt40k/ for now?

>>43453105
>stop making new threads until i decide it.
You are not the one who decides that, Nisse.

>>43453037
I only played the first game. The planet itself was uninhabitable because the moons were polar opposites in polarity. One moon was hot and the other was cold maybe? Been too long.

>>43453105
I still have the bakery journal to write though...

>>43452907
The barest minimum for life is liquid water, and the right amount of gravity to keep an atmosphere down. Putting together templates for a few planets that fit that criteria is a good idea.

>>43453105
Founder...

>>43453171
>The bad news is that Earth's pretty much the only template
The primordial brick wall of trying to write hard sci-fi. I think I'll try and handwave the habitability parts without being to lackadaisical about it, there's so much you can do with planetary feature though that it's kind of hard to ignore, if only most of those conditions didn't result in an almost immediate extinction

I will always mourn what is lost, but pray for what is to come. This was the greatest gift I have been given in a long time, I will hold hope it is not forever lost. The tides may ebb and flow, our friends may come and go, but we will continue to grow.

>>43453569
Its not a bad template though. Earth is a very flexible template. The thing to keep in mind is that life has to adapt to the environment its in. You look at different periods of Earth and you can see how life has adapted to different climates over the years.

>>43453105
Founder, need I remind you that there were writers involved with this gatekeeping and that these writers pushed for the reform, only to not participate in the mock.

>>43453569
There is a lot of room to move away from the Earth template. Like, you definitely want liquid water and an atmosphere, but you can get much colder or warmer, or wetter or drier, or mess with the chemical composition while working from that. And then there's wacky stuff like life that lives in liquid methane.

>>43453405
and whatve you done lately other than picking fights with og?! all youve done is add more fuel for the schizo retards to use against him!
>>43453308
dont come back until I SAY SO! kill the tumor. starve them out. snuff them out. this is personal!
>>43453830
i know. lunaito, youre fired. i dont want to see a nanora in here ever again!

>>43453816
>>43453921
I suppose it all comes down to what you know? I'd like to just get into the sci-fi ideas rather than to just research although researching space is generally the most interesting kind of research, more so than fantasy research in my opinion

>>43454023
I have done nothing yes, but that is not the point, gnome. It is not your call on when this project ends.

OK OK, I UNRETIRED JUST FOR NOW JUST TO ASK ALL MY FRIENDS AND ALL WRITERS TO CHECK IN NOW!!!!!! I WILL TOMORROW NAME DROP. I DONT WANT THIS TO DIE, AND DIDNT SEE HOW BAD IT WAS UNTIL I COUNTED HOW MANY WERE GONE!!!! IF YOU WRITE FOR ANYONE, CHECK IN HERE!!!!!!

>>43454282
I decide? I DECIDE?! Its already decided the moment we lost everyone damn passionate about this place!! nasfaqronie gone, roseanon gone, pomerlane anon gone, hell even most of meat now!! Ive lost my thread and now Im gonna lose this place too?!

>>43454660
Nasfaqronie is just on break, he'll be back later. Rosebud is around too, in fact he posted a new story in this very thread.

>>43454660
>>43454023
You talk shit but where have you been all this time?!?! why arent I seeing your trip each thread?

>>43454618
I'm around.
>>43454660
Not gone, just... Slow. I apologize.

>>43454660
As long as people discuss shit, like you would notice they have been if you weren't so obsessed with specific anons, and I bake, this shit is not dying. I will watch this thread breathe its last, but that will not be because of some random anon with delusions of self importance saying "shows over!". So yes, you do not decide when this ends.

>>43454899
unironically this
stop doomposting, we're going to space
>>43454831
any thoughts on space?

>>43454618
I'm still waiting on the okay for the new crop analysis.

>>43454109
In the end its about adapting to survive the climate. Many good sci-fi races have features and cultures that are unique to them and their homeworlds.

>>43454618
>>43454660
I am still here and alive. I quit writing because I needed a break, and am an advisor now because CSX has me working overtime a lot. If I don't see a post to comment on, I don't post.

And moonafic didn't quit nor did mepman. Former said HE MIGHT and later is on his honey moon.
WE ARE GOOD. My goodness, just because some folks ain't here much doesn't mean we lost.

>>43454806
wowww you see theres this really neat little known thing call REAL LIFE (wow! so cool! recolutionary!) Its where you go out, do stuff, and get money to pay back after years of living abroad. (MINDBLOWN!) what an interesting concept!!
>>43454831
>>43454899
guys, be honest, what am i supposed to do?

>>43455164
You are going to calm the fuck down because my yellow woman decided that she doesn't want to write and knowing her, she will write again tomorrow.

>>43432735

There isn't much that the Risuners can offer to the Republic. But nothing says they couldn't just be visiting as some sort of research plus diplomatic party. They honestly just have to pay for the facilities and their own expenses and I don't see why the Republic wouldn't let them in. Other than that I think I already suggested that the Risuners can share their own navigation and tracking methods.

Since there have been contacts between the two for centuries I really don't see why there would be a lack of ethnographic knowledge. There are also board dynamics to consider. There are a decent amount of crossposters between the two split. Hell I've been one too. Which makes sense since they are sister splits. Also most saplings would've seen at least simple metal tools like hatchets simply from trade both internal and external. These should be the priority for fixing once OG you decided to get around to it.

>>43423036
Still the project reflects board and thread dynamics. There is no bad blood between the actual splits.

>>43455164
>guys, be honest, what am i supposed to do?
Just Write Nigger, and stop engaging emo doomposts when actual discussions are going on.

>>43455018
Space is neat. Why?
>>43455164
Take a chill pill my friend, come and sit in papa Rose's lap.

>>43455164
Calm the fuck down. We'll survive.

>>43455210
I'll have to ask OG later but what if /risu/ has art pieces and literature? I know they're just commodities. But if there's someone interested in studying them then there's a market.

>>43455137
>>43454618
Dragoon spreading fake news, it was in consideration considering everyone was GONE. DEAD. FOREVER.

I said this earlier, y'all are fucking lame ass dorks that can't take jokes but I miss meppa and my idbros. I ain't leaving unless they GONE

>>43455023
Hmm, I guess I can roll with that, it's still annoying not really knowing the specifics though but I'll probably get over it
>>43455333
Vitubia is going to space, a space setting is starting up and nations are starting to write entries for it, hopefully we'll have something cohesive soon

>>43455440
Space setting... Does that mean advanced tech and such too?

>>43455567
Have a gander, rosebud.

Hello Rosefriend (can't believe I don't have to call you senpai). I was gifted a new PC with a Ryzen processor. I'll have to retrain myself to draw. I finished /who/'s bakery blueprints. If you can imagine it as half stone and half split-timber building then its comfy for the mountains.

>>43455333
Im already stealing shift time posting from a closet

>>43455306
everytime i see this place starting to get back on its feet again some shit happens. Im heartbroken. I know you people are still around but seeing all the hate here makes us no better than the drama board we're in. I already lost two oshis these few months...

>>43455700
Founder, are you crying in a closet at work?

>>43455700
Listen here yellow man 2.0 ( I am the OG), you need to get your mind away from the damn gun when I know for a fact that things are going to get better and that some people are just busy irl. As for the yellow woman, she will start writing again tomorrow. Don't fucking cry, rub dirt in the cut and let's rock and roll.

This thread ain't dead just because we have space bois talking about super space stuff right now, and no one can handle a bugs bunny joke. (Which is expected kek.)

>>43455567
Advanced Tech with absolutely 0 limitations, we've got warp drives, space highways, and I'm pretty sure everyone is going to have some sort of mech. Also, multiple variations of a nation can exist since the gods are universal so you can experiment however you want with your culture.
>>43455700
these threads have been quite chill recently

>>43455591
...I like the sound of this. I could make something with that.
>>43455672
Senpai is still a valid term, if you so wish to use it. Congratulations on your gift! I'm glad to see things are going well for you.
>>43455700
Oh dear, I hope you get through the rest of your shift okay.

>>43454618
im here... you aren't quitting you dumb bitch. And founder, you need to be colonised by me like meatbro. Pinkman is next.

>>43455700
I was heart broken when Sana graduated. I can't imagine losing two oshis in one month. Bread dog hugs are here if you want them.

>>43455926
Well its was nice when we were figuring out sunstones/rosestones together. I think we joined roughly the same time?

>>43455700
Congrats, welcome to real life, it's a dark, wet and miserable experience and it doesn't get any better until you're 6 feet under. So suck it up and actually discuss shit like other people have been ffs.

>>43456241
>it's a dark, wet and miserable experience
He's hiding in a broom closet so he's already experiencing it.
>>43456123
>meatbro

>>43456161
Perhaps so, although my memory is a touch hazy. It's been near a year since I first joined, as baffling as it is to say.

>>43456123

>>43456355
I still need to bake those chocolate chip cookies.

>>43454618
I’m still around, slowly chipping away at my stories when I’m not drowning in work.

>>43456769
Oh goodness, I completely forgot about the cookies.

>>43457288
Oh, I just remembered something.
I realize you've only just learned about the space setting but once (if) you begin formulating ideas about what the rosebuta might be like in a galactic setting, I'd very much like to hear it

>sanallites cause citubia to speed run to the space age
shit butthole

>>43458195
Let the kiddies play in space, they oshi is fucking dead.

Son, you dohn know what yerr askin' for.

Slapped the maps in a rentry for easier access.

>>43458889
I wonder who will be the first to share a star system with another empire

>>43456319
That's meatbro?

>>43457838
Sure thing!
>>43458565
Hmm, you know a Babirusa in power armor would be a neat idea.

>>43459653
Oh? Interesting, don't know how they'd fair against the Luboar Mark IV Battle Bunaito Armor though

>>43459653
>>43459965
I'm more curious how either of these would handle a Nyarfalothepth-class schizo lifeform.

>>43460182
>Nyarfalothepth
Do you mean Nyarlethotep?

>>43460237
>Nyarlethotep
No, that might trigger the IP lawyers. Nyarfalothepth is suitably creatively distinct. I didn't remember how you wrote it kek

>>43460312
>IP lawyers
Actually, Lovecraft's works are all public domain material which is the main reason he's the cultural icon today and how products like Call of Cthulhu, Delta Green, and Cthulhu Tech can all use the same dieties without stepping on any toes. Luv me some LovecraftI know but its a nice tid bit off to the side
Having schizophrenic paradox live forms classified in terms of lovecraftian horrors is a great idea though, I could imagine mapping out what each mythos diety or creature classification means in terms of the danger level or observed characteristics, space schizos literally breaking the laws of physics and doing things that shouldn't be possible through condensed insanity is top tier shit.

>>43459965
We'll have to find out! Or maybe we could be allies among the stars?
>>43460182
Ooo, sounds like a fun entity to go up against.

>>43460584
>Schizos break the laws of physics
>Schizos break the laws of the board
>Custodians uphold the laws of physics/the board (Alongside the usual abuse of power)
Huh, this makes a measure of sense.
>>43460618
Just gotta make sure to bring your rrat field suppressors.

>>43460618
In Vitubia bunaitos were more of a derogatory term but I think in CVT40K Bunaitos could be a literal race of pig people who were conquered by the Candy Kingdom or just a race that became subservient to the Luknights after they arrived on their planet and rose them out of primitive societies. I had an idea that they were related to a race of japanese orc pig people and that luknights occasionally battled them over moon territories but whose to say that they couldn't share some heritage from Rosebutas? Quite odd that there's a pink pig theme in both of these fandoms that hasn't come up before...

>>43460918

I think I’ll have /vnug/ go full mecha after they discovered new use of vitubium that makes mecha practical even if they don’t fully understand it

>>43461880

just like real gundam, perfect

>>43461880
Will your mechas be general purpose or will they be oriented primarily towards combat, I feel like mechs or at least specialized mechs would be great at breaking down space crafts for refuge
