"Keepers of the Gate Consolidate the Matiyotl!"

"An unexpected movement has claimed a landslide majority in the Matiyotl people's Unification Allthing, like a flash of lightning struck down by the Chuubas themselves. The Keepers of the Gate are a blood hawk among the emerging movements in the Yectic lands, made up of nationalist intellectuals, espionage and military veterans, reformist clerics, and the majority of their naval officers. While the previous Teocuacayotl alliance was no stranger to infiltrating and neutralising Vitisister covens and Troll hives abroad to fuel their bloodlust rites and espionage exercise, there are those among the Yectic flock who believe that this policy has been invaluable in maintaining stability within their home region and building diplomacy to defend against Schizo threats. The Keepers of the Gate believe that this policy should not only be maintained, but should become the sole goal of the young unified Matiyotl nation. Those clergy who support the Keepers stated that in this age of conflict, the 'Apocalypse' that they fear is no longer a pataphysical scenario concerning the Heavenly Realm, but a physical one for the sake of this world caused by the recent massive growth of Schizo swarms worldwide. Though their claims may be exaggerated, it is undeniable that the Matiyotl public has unanimously agreed that the physical world's safety takes precedence in these times of strife. With the Yectic army's military and naval activity increasing, the Matiyotl's gaze is shifting away from the 'Aesir heathens' across the sea and towards the Schizo insurgents and hordes that border them."

>>47086763
Amidst the Matiyotl people's land,
A movement rose with an unexpected hand,
The Keepers of the Gate, they call themselves,
With visions of protection, from all that delves.

Nationalist intellectuals and veterans in the mix,
Reformist clerics, and naval officers' fix,
Their aim is clear, their goal the same,
To keep their land safe from all that maim.

The Teocuacayotl alliance, their predecessor,
Infiltrated and neutralized, a Vitisister suppressor,
Yet, in these times of strife and conflict,
The Keepers believe the Schizo threat, unrestricted.

For the Apocalypse, they fear, is no longer ethereal,
A physical world, they now consider as material,
Their claims may seem exaggerated,
But the Matiyotl public, their views unmitigated.

The Aesir heathens, their gaze averted,
Towards the Schizo insurgents, they have exerted,
The military and naval activities on the rise,
In these times of conflict, a nation must rise.

The Keepers of the Gate, a blood hawk indeed,
Their vision for their people, they will always lead,
In these turbulent times, they stand tall,
A land protected, from all that may befall.

"Cuicacahuilla Consolidates the Matiyotl!"

"Across the Yectic subcontinent, a million hearts beat in unison with the flesh gears of the Rikittlapohualtepoztli, both within and without their ribcages. The Cuicacahuilla, or Time Singers, have won a dominant victory in the Unification Allthing! Once widely regarded as a heretical sect of the Yectic faith, is the result of the experiment that is the century-long Matiyotl-Kronie alliance. Generations of Kronie expats migrating to the nations of Ryonaheim and Atoyavik in exchange for Varangians ad infinitum have given birth to the Cahuitlmadr subculture, those who seek to harmonise their Yectic faith rites with the temporal flow of the Heavenly Realm. The Cuicahuilla itself was founded by influential Cahuitlmadr politicians, scholars, and priests with the goal of reforming the old Matiyotl nations' theocracy system with that of Infinitum; an absolute theocracy in which the role of the Rikitlatoani is to become the Priest-King of the Yectic faith. While not completely abandoning the Yectic pantheon in favour of Infinitum's Kronii, the Cahuitlmadr instead chose to worship the more abstract and surreal kawaguro deities such as Kusari, Myaso, Tsunagi, and Awayuki, believing that their surreal nature allows believers to feel harmony within time. The sickening echo of synchronised footsteps, hammering, and blood drops spreads across Nacatlan's capital by the second, minute, and hour. Although Infinitum officials have yet to comment on this incredible series of events, the increased military exercises between the two theocracies is an undeniable sign of things to come."

https://rentry.org/nagato-campaign-of-3578

The first part of this is complete, where I go over the strategic overview of this important campaign in the beginning of the Heishin war; and discuss the opening dispositions, movements, and preparations made by both sides. Next shall be an overview of each opposing force in a briefer format (that will go into extreme autism in a separate dedicated rentry) before we get into the main event itself.

I hope you enjoy it; As a lot of work has been put into this including the drawing of maps, planning of events, research, cooperation with the main writer, translation of words/figuring out word meanings, and much more has been dedicated into this. Feedback is very much welcomed as always, as it helps me become a better writer and see mistakes that were made logically or grammatically. Thank you.

Well, he asked me what I'm working on so I told him my current game plan for beating the 2nd to last boss in Monster Hunter World. If you want more information on the fight itself, there are plenty of guides on yt.

Delilah the mammoth is now fully grown and healthy. Her herd passes by Lamington twice a year on migration. The mammoth herd sees Sanalites as protection from the usual hunters. Also the leftover grass in the pastures are nutritious and tasty. The mammoths seek refuge in the evergreen forests on /uuu/'s border during winter before trekking back up to the tundra during summer. Only this particular herd is brave enough to wander near /nasa/ territory.

Thoughts?

>>47127402
Blessed, glad to hear Delilah is doing well.

So what's happening with the bakery in /who/? And the one in /vrt/?

Nice meaty story anon, pretty horrific, but nicely written. It made me feel bad for the poached squirrels. Who are the pink haired scavengers? Joshu coyote people?

>>47089318
Nice little piece, surprising amount of humanization of all sides given the subject matter. I enjoyed it! There are now three or four female characters with mechanical arm prosthetics featured in /vtwbg/ stories.

>>47130767
>humanization
Precisely because of the subject matter I felt like it was the perfect opportunity to showcase just how human we can be. Really, the whole murder plotpoint was more of an afterthought, a side piece to the main plot, the struggle of a soldier that has done horrific things in the name of some grander objective. They might kill and sample the flesh, yes, but that doesn't mean they have to enjoy it. But in the end, it is the role they have been given, and they should carry it out. Right?

>>47133008
A inhumane duty versus a hopeless rebellion, I like both. Something something human heart at conflict with itself.

Dev here; quick question, even though its for something Im not planning on implementing for a while.
I want to try adding a secondary attribute to the game after happiness. This one would be picked after leveling up and it would be a branching point for how your city works.
I'm trying to think of 3 different ideologies you could pick from:
- Piety
- Civility
- Anarchy
I kinda came up with those off the top of my head, but I'd like some better ideas from you worldbuilding lot

Militarism, Consumerism.

>>47135631
Anarchy is an uncommon ideology to assign to a city that will become an increasingly powerful and organized political entity in some way. "Liberty" might get across the meaning you intended better?
Civility brings to mind politeness, but since you contrast it to Piety and Anarchy I guess it's intended to represent a more organized, ordered society? If so, something like "Order" or "Authority" might communicate that better, though those words have slightly different connotations. I think Piety gets its concept across nicely, though.
Some other possibilities:
Nobility (representing a more aristocratic society)
Some alignment to represent a city focused on economical growth, >>47136094 consumerism would work nicely, though it doesn't end in "y" which bothers my autism.

>>47135631
Military, obviously. Oligarchy too.

>>47136094
>>47136189
So far the ones I'm liking the most are:
- Piety
- Military
- Authority
Though Military and Authority kind of seem like they'd end up with very similar gameplay...

>>47136364
Yeah, if you're only gonna have only three branches those two have an ideological overlap. Authority tends to be enforced with a military.

>>47136544
then what of the United States?

>>47136364
Industry

i mean, you can have many of these things in one nation.

>>47136544
>>47136667
Contenders are now:
- Piety
- Authority
- Industry

Autocracy is a better term imo. sounds cooler

>>47137072
Autocracy is a pretty specific government type. Authority represents a wider spectrum of ideologies I think.

>>47136623
It used to be a representative republic. But now its a banana republic oligarch shithole.

Would Autocracy have a Monarchy subvariant?

>>47140028
I guess the ideology category might be left vague enough so that you can pick whichever is closest and RP as what you want?

btw guys, Im seeing some errors in the logs, so if anyone is sitting on some negative numbers somewhere, please let me know

>>47143945
I already told you I'm sittin on -6 happiness... And no, I quite like it here, please don't change it.

>>47144235
I patched that like 24 hours ago. Please dont tell me its still in the negatives.

>>47144579
Didn't budge a single decimal.

>>47144822

>>47146354
Will it be "fixed" on the next tick or...?

Good morning! Let us do better than yesterday!

>>47085253
New Quest type added!
I'm sure you all are smart enough to figure it out when it comes up, so I won't spoil it. I will say that I added it primarily to test a new "consequence for declining" mechanism. Per usual, you are all welcome to gripe about the balancing and numbers as we move forward.
(And before anyone says anything, yes I know the table UI fucks up on certain resolutions, its on the todo)

>banished
Lol
Lmao even

In all seriousness I'm going to try to sit down and write something by this weekend. Its been constant interruptions by family for requests. Which we're out of grocery budget for the month already. On top of Easter. On top of my own declining health due to stress. On top of sometimes not sleeping for days again. I have too many things to sort out here that the bakery was put on back burner again.

Anyway here's the floor plans of the bakery. Menu is going to be a mix of wheat, barley, rye, and potato breads. Unless on a seasonal sale sweets, cakes, and pies will be order only. Wheat breads and pastries will be the more expensive breads due to imported wheat. Marbled barley and rye bread will be the bakery's signature product. And we'll find a way to make potato rolls the official bread of /who/.

[Trying some new prompts]
And it came to pass that the people of the land did gather together to offer their prayers to the great and mighty Goddess of Nature, whose green hair flowed like the rivers and whose motherly demeanor watched over all of creation.

And they did bow before her, their heads low in humility and their hearts filled with gratitude. And they did speak unto her, saying:

"Oh great and nurturing Goddess of Nature, whose wisdom and power are beyond measure, we give thanks to you for the bounty of the earth and for the creatures that dwell therein. We acknowledge that you are the source of all life and vitality, and we praise your name for all that you have given us."

And the people did ask for her blessing upon them and upon the world that they inhabited. They did pray that she would guide them on the path of righteousness and teach them to live in harmony with the natural world. And they did ask for the strength to resist the temptations of greed and selfishness, and to instead embrace the values of generosity, kindness, and compassion.

And the people did recognize the interconnectedness of all things, and they did see that they were all part of the same great family of creation. And they did pray that the Goddess of Nature would continue to bless them with her motherly love and care, so that they may flourish and thrive in her nurturing embrace.

And it was so. The people rose from their knees, their hearts lifted with hope and their spirits filled with peace. And they went forth from the place of prayer, renewed and strengthened by the power of the great and mighty Goddess of Nature.
