No. At that point anyone would simply become a complete plant without any sentience at best, or rot and decompose into base organic matter at worst.
This doesn't happen often, but it is a source of some of our firewood.

I did pretty good writing progress today, but I didn't finish the chapter, I think I'll have it tomorrow, though. Good night everyone.

Looking forward to it anon

>>71930558
Sounds like propaganda from the Church of Unicorns.

>>71927926
Aight.

>>71933942
But it's not. I want to make cute and beautiful girls when worldbuilding. Captain Charolette, Baker-chan, Lorelei, and the half-tree sapling are all precious.

>>71934151
So long as you not either erase males or paint them as evil, you good in my books.

>>71934835
I do have a male Sanallite. His alias is Rocket Man. He'll come to Uranus if you're not careful. He's an incarnation of San just like how Baker-chan is an incarnation of Sana.

Also I don't need an excuse to make cute and beautiful girls.

Gents?

WHERE THE FUCK IS EVERYONE? I THOUGHT EVERYONE LIKED KOKONES BOOBS!? If her tits won't attract people then what will?

>>71949584
Good morning, I also like Kokone's boobs.

Hour 17 and a half

So who wants to make inn/tavern lore? Also today's menu is soup. Just soup. I don't have the strength to make bread today. If you want bread we have ship's biscuits you can smash and add to soup.

Which races would have extra arms? I'd imagine if chumbuddies were shrimp people they'd have extra arms.

I'm going out to the bar, don't let the thread die.
I'm thinking the sapling boat will have to have a ton of dirt inside it to keep the /uuu/ magic alive while "sailing".

>>71986321
Momos too, assuming they go by their usual appearance.

>>71987569
Enjoy the night out! Kinda funny to think about trees growing to contain dirt for more trees to grow on, but it makes sense. I guess it might also have roots sticking out of the hull into the ocean to draw nutrients from the water.

>>71991167
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canopy_soils

>>71991087
Now that's a peggable rat

>>71991723
Huh, that's really fucking cool. The trees containing the soils can even grow canopy roots into the soil they support to also draw nutrients from it, which I guess is why they didn't evolve to just let the biomass fall through to the ground in the first place.

CLARO

Here it is, the rough logo for the VGTC!

>>71999756
Looks fast! Nice logo

>>72000721
Nice trips.
I also kept in mind what divegrass does and made it ez to edit colors for the winning thread.

>>72000795
Anon, I don't know how to tell this to you, but it only counts as trips if it's the last digits. Otherwise like 1000 people in a row get the trips.

>>72000980
I see. You did well in that regard then.

Rough poster, then.

>>71991167
Chill night out. Talked to a dude from florida.
>roots sticking out of the hull into the ocean
I want this picrel aesthetic for the /uuu/ boat 100%. The bio mesh of roots and tentacles is going to take some work though. Also, what would happen to the tendrils in shallower waters. Would they be more like tentacles or roots? Is there a good way to mix both? Maybe split the difference and go eukaryotic? Are there even underwater mushrooms?
Lots to think about

Hello, friends. I don't know if I'll end up doing anything with this or if I'll do more work on it, but the guy who gave me the PNG of WARanon here the other day wanted me to post whatever I use it for. So I'm doing that.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra7UvS32swc

>>72001592
kek, very epic anon, glad to see it went to good use. Friezaplus is very funny.

>>72001592
Great work, anon! I'm glad that if we had to lose to anyone, it was another team that understands the power of a good hyp!
although I'm pretty sure it was /holoX/ that had the condition advantage

>>72001379
>Are there even underwater mushrooms?
Huh, that's more of a rabbithole than I expected, seems like a very under-researched topic. There are tons of marine fungi, but it seems like mushrooms with a large macrostructure (stem and cap) aren't much of a thing, they seem to mostly occur as molds growing on algae, seagrass, coral and lichens.
Could be fun if the rootentacles were able to act as anchors in shallow waters, and maybe dig themselves into the soil for extra nutrients

I guess I can use inns as a worldbuilding topic. I like visiting a good old-fashioned inn over a modern hotel. But then again hotels today have baths and sometimes a kitchenette. Inns and boarding houses sometimes just have a single room with beds to sleep in.

>>72001379
Also, if you're looking at man-o-wars, I'm pretty sure those tentacles have offensive purposes... Maybe the roots could grab fish out of the sea, seafood makes for great fertilizer.

>>72002967
Fun fact, in alpine /morig/ there are specific inns and hotels which service tourists and foreigners, since they are the only buildings that are heated through.

>>72004983
You could have inns for traveling locals if they're cold and hotels for foreigners. Any taverns, bars, or pubs?

>>72006039
Oh yeah, lots of those, for most you better pack you winter coat, though, or start dancing to stay toasty. Lots of cold bodies in those.

>>72002951
Hmmm...

>>72006571
There's a Pulp Fiction line in there somewhere.

Hey nerds! Heres something you should write about!!! *whips cock out*

>>72007070
>is there a sign that says "dead deadbeat storage" on my lawn? Huh?

>>72007148
Close enough. Anyway I at least got some cold drinks if you like Margaritaville.

>>72007102
Nice cock, bro.

I think Lorelei's inns would be made out of either wood or bamboo/rattan. Unless we can build a ruin back into an inn. I can see the inn being made out of half basaltic stone bricks and half wood with a slate roof. The inn can double as a pub because they would share the same ovens, fires, and store rooms between buildings. The pup would be more like an outside cantina with a thatch roof and polished quartz countertops. The inns bedrooms would be plankwood sealed by plaster and clay to stave off the heat. Bedrooms would have a Japanese style hearth with a hanging fire over sand for a little heat at night and to boil kettles for morning coffee. Inn would only be one floor due to the height of the island. It's pretty high above sea level and typhoon winds wiped out the second floor a long time ago methinks.

>>72008542
Yeah, sounds like a nice place for a pint of ale and a bowl of soup.

>>72009537
And if we feelin luxurious, a nice bread to go with it!

No die.

>>72002748
Thank you! That sets high expectations and I'm glad you love hypes too!
/mayo/ and /holox/ had pure luck on their marches through. WARanon is a really fun and cool character

Holy fuck I need to start watching Suri. Whenever she streams I usually jerk off to Meeta.

>>72029061
Hope its something savory and with meat!

>>72013249
meatbro?

Catgirls?

>>72032128
hmm I think yes, catgirls yes.

Good morning. Today's menu is shellfish and pies.

>>72008542
The way you describe it made it sound to me more like a place that leans toward serving well aged spirits over mead and ale, and I really dig it.

>>72033984
Mouthwatering. What kinda shellfish and pie we having?

>>72035554
Oysters, mussels, and clams smoked over a fire. And pies are fruit pies. We need to figure out what fruits Lorelei has.

>>72036120
Sounds wonderful.

I think we can import some phoenix orange from wawa for some extra kick. As for the other question...what kinda climate do we have again?

midday bump

>>72037064
We're close to equator I think. But we don't have a lot of good soil. So fruits are a bit limited.

>>72039296
I think the island is too rocky to grow fruits on...

>>72040299
Yeah, well besides the rock palms on the cliffs lol.

>>72040299
There is a small orchard dug out of some of the old stone quarries, but nothing to be used commercially. The soil was imported when they built the library a long time ago. It's mostly used to grow reeds and rice with some fruit. Most fruit is imported from other islands

>>72041518
The lorelei island orchard is a god tier meditation/reading spot.

how do we feel about something like this?
i tried to get it to put a caldera in it like we talked about before, but it made some kinda silly dumb stuff with it

>>72044002
Oh, neat. I like the artstyle a lot, the way the rocks are rendered is nice. What's the prompt and model?

>>72044332

>>72058239
I don't think Lorelei has enough native trees for native lemurs. They'd be imported pets.

I guess we need a more interesting topic. We should plan out trade and ship routes or something.

>>72069241
I like to pretend that some of us actually go out and have irl fun on weekends so I don't mind sticking around and keep the place up waiting for you guys to get back

>>72069364
To be fair it is Easter weekend.

>>72070158
That's next weekend

Worldbuilding topic: Easter. How does your nation celebrate Easter?

I guess Baker-chan would break sourdough bread with whoever is her friend at the time and indulge on some fine ale. Lorelei could have easter egg hunts.

>>72072406
Well, I guess it's too early then. Maybe we should just let the thread bump off until next Monday.

Who’s Jesus?

>>72072900
It's more of a western vTuber thing methinks.

I should make some egg salad sandwiches on sourdough bread. I don't think we can make egg salad in Lorelei unless there's a place in the library that's refrigerator cold. Boiled eggs would be a pretty good delicacy if you can properly chill and remove egg shells.

>>72072900
The idea of a saviour figure dying and returning is pretty frequent in mythologies, I guess analogues could be found.
Wait, that's just Kiara after being banned from youtube, isn't it lol. I guess that could be it for the HoloEN pantheons.

Here we have this thing called the Easter Bunny. The Easter Bunny is a terrorist that leaves stink bombs that look like brightly colored eggs. If you don't find them within 24 hours they'll permanently make your house and yard smell like rotten eggs.

Generally speaking, which threads/nations would be neutral ground or close to it?

>>72081307
/horni/ is probably up there, /vtai/ too for similar reasons. Through dick, unity.

>>72081307
I'd say maybe some of the more "meta" based ones are mostly neutral.
/choc/, /pink/, /hag/, etc seem to be ok with anyone that fits the theme instead of tribalfagging about corpos or something. Ime at least.

>>72081307
/pcg/

>>72083087
neutral in that they get shit on equally by everyone else?

>>72083154

>>72084424

On one hand I'd like to bring capybara to Lorelei as meat livestock. On the other hand capybara can be devistating to local grasses and bushes if left unchecked. Besides I think we already have our meme animal with the rock dodos.

>>72060805
Kinda loving the lemur with a spear in the back.

>>72086049 (me)
This is also another thought. I think /wah/ should have capybaras as their national animal since they're Ina's favorite animal. I wonder what animal is exclusive to /uuu/?

>>72087205
Boring answer: deer.
Can be any animal with antlers tho

>>72087909
Deer are everywhere though.

>>72087989
But not ones with green on their head tho!

>>72081307
>>72081673
Honestly, thinking about it harder even those variety threads have a bit of a bias. Not out of tribalism, just how the fanbases worked out. /choc/ is heavy into small western indies, /pink/ is a bit more corpo and JP, /hag/ is pretty holo-heavy, though none of the three are exclusive to those categories. I guess because of numbers threads will baseline trend toward holo if nothing else gains a foothold though.

Inflation!

Me on the right

>>72059235
it's not really a foreign legion as much as it is an exile complex i think? a lot of posters started out exiled out of /jp/ before /vt/ was a thing, and then when /wvt/ started splintering into smaller threads the people in charge of that tried to keep the same cultural spirit
>>72089000
/choc/ had a handful of /wvt/-expats at the start but also had corpo anons like the coyoposters and scarleposters. i think the deciding factor was that on the corpo level apparently /choc/ vtubers just didn't work out well in the market according to some managers, and that linking random /choc/ vtubers from twitch or twitter made for really good bump fodder.
>>72081307
>>72081673
if you're looking for neutral ground, /wool/ also started out as a happy marriage between former corpo /tsunx/ posters and indie posters. additionally they accept more vtubers than sheep and goats as long as they're in the same friend circle, so they have rather open borders. it's a policy that keeps me nervous, but it has worked out well enough for the past few months.
/tactical/ has been pretty friendly in my experience too, but i don't visit super often. they're unique in that they were sorta started off as a buffer zone to keep vtuber posters out of /k/ and the /ak/ general.

>>72089000
>>72109452
actually there are also a good handful of foreignners loved in /choc/ Park Dona form Korea, Nekobuki or Nekoyo from JP for example, it is more EN focused because EOP board but in contrast to simialr threads it actually features a decent chunk of others too

>>72109452
Ohh yeah, I forgot to mention /tactical/. I ended up following their Drunk Dutch War Criminal chick on twitch after a couple of their vt league matches

>>72109653
oh, dona's still going? i thought the koreans got fucked over by twitch.

>>72081307
>>72081673
Don't forget /vtwbg/'s old favourite, /freak/ (AKA rebranded /meat/).

>>72081307
What does "neutral ground" really mean? Not involved in dramas with other threads or corpos?

>>72112562
Bretty much. No hint of bad blood with other threads.

>>72112562
Based on the answers, a few interpretations:
-Has representation of vtubers from any factions in vtubing
-The thread topic is open to vtubers from any factions
-The thread has good relations with any factions

>>72113145
I see. By that definition, I think the "concept"-based threads already mentioned (e.g. /choc/, /hag/) would be the only ones to fit the bill.

Good morning. Today's menu is both soft and hard tacos, burritos, tostadas, and nachos. We have vegetarian and vegan options available. The diabetic option is taco salad without corn chips and rice.

So which threads are the most hostile to everyone else?

>>72114268
olde /vrt/ or /vrg/

/lig/ is very seclusive and doesn't want much to do with the board,
/2434/ also doesn't want to do much with the outside, understandbly
/vsinger/ also seems very aggressive towards those they don't accept as one of their kind
/vspo/ is also a big "fuck everyone else" kinnda thread and never leaves

>>72114268
H-l-fucking-gg.

>>72114268
I think /#/ takes the cake with their constant tribalism, dramabaiting and raids. I'd almost say that their Viti counterpart should just be a fleet of pirates, but that would make them sound cool.

>>72115442
Then make em all those number apes. Their nation would be pretty much Planet of the (number)Apes

I thought about making a traveling fennec fox circus troop for fun. But I need to focus on what I have first.

I can't believe polka was the true /become/ all along...

>>72128235
Polkafication is an even more devious transformation. Instead of a tragedy, it's a comedy.

Should we have Easter in /vtwbg/? I like chocolate bunnies and boiled eggs.

Where should /ahoy/ be located on Viti? It should definitely be on an island, because the oceans belong to Marine, but which one? I would suggest an island bordering one of the larger oceans/seas, but then there's still several options, like the east half of the /choc/ island or the large island next to /fig/ on the west side, and also several on the east side.

>>72129908
An anon earlier said that /ahoy/ won't have any land of it's own. They have bases and hideouts scattered across the sea if I remember correctly.

>>72129908
What anon said, yeah. I like the idea some notable captains have hidden cities in secluded coves that are bustling with mariner activities, even though there isn't one central capital.
Don't forget the golden booty in the middle of the ocean where they have a pilgrimage, though.

>>72130228
>>72130379
Thank you, anons. What about /ggg/, then, has anything been decided for that? That also strikes me as a nation that should have ocean access and maybe be an island, given the Atlantis lore. /pcg/, too, maybe, given the Pippa shipgirl theming.

>>72131148
I don't think we've had any chumbuds weigh in for Viti yet. There was a thought to make it an actual underwater nation in the past, Vitubia was a bit rigid with those things, but that could be possible for Viti, if whoever would still like that.

>>72131148
>has anything been decided for that
Just check the map anon, if its not there then it hasn't been decided. Some rep that is willing to take responsibility and write has to come and decide.

>>72131148
Someone for /pcg/ brainstormed some potential locations, and all of them had a coastal part, so that'd probably play into that.

>>72131435
I know about the map, but since there's evidently some stuff that's been brainstormed but not fleshed out/written up I wanted to check.

>>72131507
I'm not that anon, so I don't know what locations exactly they brainstormed, but my thoughts on that are that /pcg/ needs to be in a location where coffee can grow (because of Phase Coffee, of course), so it should be in a tropical, wet biome. The biggest unclaimed regions of that climate are a) the tropical islands around the western continent and b) the large island next to /fig/, which are both also islands so also fit the shopgirl theme. I would lean towards the former because then there's more space for the other Phase-related threads that have emerged in recent times (/lia/, /pcgia/, /fvr/, /tsunX/, to some degree /tactical/ too), but I think there's a few other Phase anons around in the thread so I'll leave that open to comment.

assume vdriver anon isnt around rn?

>>72134029
I don't think so. Have a bump for your trouble.

>>72134029
Yo whaddup.
How can I help?

>>72136931
well I hope youre him at least
some more specifications in your doc would be nice btw
>stats
there are three sections to it and no explanation for the difference between each
did finally sort it out I think? but which stats are base and which are derivative would be nice to know upfront
>Distribute your starting stat points.
you list 13 stats, but say you only get 10 stat points to distribute? with some context I think you meant the Core stats?
>advantages
are they cumulative? if so, in what order? if one advantage raises a stat by X and another by Y%, which should be applied first?

>>72137827
>Main Stats, Core Driver Stats, Install Stats
The Main Stats should probably be renamed to "Resources" or something. Not sure there.
Core Driver stats are the stats that characters have.
Install stats just exist on Installs.
>13 stats listed, but only 10 points
Yes, those just go to your Core Driver stats. I'll update the text in the next update to make sure this is clearer, in addition to fixing the stat descriptors.
>Are Advantages cumulative?
Multiplicative bonuses first, then additive. It's easier to explain PEMDAS than to give players Slightly Bigger Number.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll make sure to clarify this stuff in the next update.

>>72138754
>Multiplicative bonuses first, then additive.
Thats.... gonna be a bitch to code... Probably just going to hardcode each Advantage with its own priority level and go from that.
>stats
one other thing I forgot to ask.
picrel is how Im doing stats for now, but your doc never mentions if its ok to leave a stat at 0
i had a few runs today where some drivers happened to roll a 10 on their first stat and thats the only thing they had points in

>>72139202
It is okay to have stats at 0.
Formula for Drive calculation, including advantages, is:
>( ( ( ( Rank * 25 ) + DUR + PRE ) * ( 1 + ( % Bonus ) ) ) + Flat Bonus )
It is not possible to have multiple % Bonuses to Base Drive simultaneously, so you shouldn't need to stress that too much.

>>72139697
well Im glad I didnt keep trying to sort this out blind while you werent here cuz this is much different
>( ( ( ( Rank * 25 ) + DUR + PRE ) * ( 1 + ( % Bonus ) ) ) + Flat Bonus )
that doesnt really make sense unless you meant
>(Rank * Drive)
or does base drive literally never change from 25? I couldve sworn i saw something in there that did change it
picrel is my calculation for any drive BEFORE any advantages get calculated (advantages to Drive. advantages to base dur or base pre would still get applied here)
>Flat Bonus
what does this refer to?
you refer to "Base Drive" drive in the doc a lot but assumed that meant "Drive before the rank mult and dur and pre mods"

>>72140418
You start at Rank 1, which gives you 25.
Each Rank up gives 25 Drive.
>(Rank * 25)
Is just an expression of that.
"Flat bonus" is the bonus from advantages like Durable Drive (which provide a flat value that is based on a Core stat, instead of a % bonus to Base Drive like the Dedicated advantage), or bonuses from Installs (which don't exist yet to my recollection, but I know I've accounted for them in the design space).
>What is Base Drive
That's the value that your Drive starts at, and what it defaults to when you recover from being Broken. Think of it like your Max HP, but your Current HP can go above or below it depending on what's going on in the turn.

>>72141897
So does Dedicated add 50% to the 25 or does it go in that "( % Bonus )" place you posted?

>>72143007
It goes into the % Bonus.
So a Rank 3 Driver with 4 PRE and 3 DUR with Dedicated active would have
>( ( ( ( 3 * 25 ) + 3 + 4 ) * ( 1 + ( 0.5 ) ) ) + 0 ) = 123 Base Drive

>>72143216
ok then thats not what the doc says because
>increase your Base Drive by 50%
but then you said
>That's the value that your Drive starts at, and what it defaults to when you recover from being Broken
but then in this
>( ( ( ( Rank * 25 ) + DUR + PRE ) * ( 1 + ( % Bonus ) ) ) + Flat Bonus )
it would mean that Base Drive refers to Drive AFTER the rank multiplier and dur and pre mods have been calculated
am I getting that right?

>>72143568
Yes, that's correct.

>>72143602
this seem right?

>>72144448
Yep, looks good.

>>72143216
NTA but I'm following your formula. I got 123 as the answer but it's pretty hard for me to follow the extra parentheses. I think I got it right though.

Order of operations as I interpret it:
3 * 25 = 75
75 + 3 + 4 = 82
1 + 0.5 = 1.5
1.5 + 0 = 1.5
82 + 1.5 = 123

I think that's right. I'm used to tabletop being simpler like a basic melee attack is 1d20 + Base Class Attack + STR or DEX + Weapon Bonus + Feat + Misc. Modifiers vs Target AC.

The Miscelaneous Modifiers are things like magic spell buffs and curcumstance bonuses like flanking. And the variables can easily be negatives that subtract from the formula. Reminds me of calculating stats for JRPG games.

>>72144621
>Reminds me of calculating stats for JRPG games
honestly thats kinda whats been making it sorta fun to try to program

>>72144621
I do a lot of my design work in Excel sheets, and most of my games are designed to be played online (although I have done live testing with PnP), so yeah, that's the general vibe.

>>72132962
Ah, I'm that anon, here's the context >>69713530
Basically I chatted with the rest of /pcg/ to come up with the basic idea of the country. Coffee-focus is a an absolute must, but I didn't get too concerned about being tropical, since it's very plausible to have fictional coffee species that grow at a different climate. Also, I felt like since we have very active "diplomacy" with the rest of /vt/, we probably wouldn't be relatively isolated on an island, since most interactions happen over land borders... Do you think that makes sense? We definitely would want to be in a position to have naval shenanigans, though.
Now that /jidf/ has been placed, that southern location would have the fun factor of putting us next to a fellow small corpo with a few Phase friends, so that could be nice.
I've been wanting to nail it down a bit more but I've been dedicating my /pcg/ OC time to trying to draw Clara...

>>72145839
>>72145946
I just came from a different age in tabletop before online. I thought about making a miniature game with robot girls, but with detachable body parts. The stats I planned were simple but the game is about gaining tactical advantage and swapping scavenged body parts of your destroyed opponents.

>>72143568
Ganbare anon. I didn't create vDriver but if you get stuck on any programming feel free to ask for help here, I've done my share of python.

>>72148059
Im not particularly stuck, Im just trying to do it in a way that will make future additions as generic as possible?
and man I've been running myself in circles. cuz I want a way to add traits to an object dynamically that will "intervene" field getters etc
for advantages I have something like picrel but I'm not super happy with it

>>72146705
Well as long as the coffee's better than Maccas we're good. Also what's /pcg/'s opinion on having a random Sanallite visitor. She's big on coffee and cafes.

back up you go

We should have bunny girl day where the girls dress up as playboy rabbits.

>>72153949

>>72146705
Thank you for your reply, anon. The area I was thinking of was the one here, it consists of islands but I wouldn't really consider it isolated because they're right next to the large western continent.
Aside from the biomes, my reasoning was also in part that the eastern continent already has many large Holo threads, while most of the threads that /pcg/ interacts with (like /lia/, /pcgia/, /fvr/, /tsunX/, /tactical/ and some others) hadn't been placed yet, so I figured there was space for them on that continent. There being a lot of different islands that would interact with each other maritimely could be used for Harine shipgirl theming, maybe even a large maritime coffee-trading company a bit like the East India Company. Some of the larger islands could be different threads, and then smaller ones could be used to represent different Phase friends/"orbiters".
Out of the threads that *have* been placed, the only one that interacts much with /pcg/ is /jidf/, so out of the regions you suggested I do suppose the one close to /jidf/ would make the most sense, or maybe the peninsula on the right-hand side of your circle since that seems to have a wetter climate.

>>72169964
I think /freak/ would be there somewhere since they want to keep the previous world's lore (tropical, coffee, maritime)

>>72171552
/freak/ being somewhere in the same general area as /pcg/ wouldn't be too weird due to their mutual connection to /shon/ (also, there's another more indirect connection through /freak/ - /wool/ - /tsunX/ - /pcg/).

>>72146705
>>72169964 (me)
Here's some more brainstorming. Aside from /pcg/, I'm also familiar with the Phase-adjacent threads /tactical/ and /fvr/. I think it would make sense for /tactical/ to be close to /pcg/ because of Sleepy, Nyaru and Rye interacting with them, and also to /choc/ because Nyaru is discussed in both threads (and is /here/ to the extent that she supported both their divegrass teams on stream this month). That would fit with my western continent proposal, as /tactical/ could be the northern large island in the ellipse I drew while the other Phase threads could be the more southerly islands, which would put /tactical/ close to the /choc/ island to the northeast as well.
On the other hand, I suppose /tactical/ could also fit with your eastern continent proposal because they have a (somewhat tumultuous) connection to /jidf/ through the Rye/Yuko situation, so I could also see /tactical/ in a place that borders both /pcg/ and /jidf/.
For /fvr/, I would think of it as a "colony" originally established by the /pcg/ nation that is now independent, so I would put it in a location that is easily accessible from the /pcg/ nation by sea but not immediately adjacent to it by land. That would work well with the western islands; it would be a bit more tricky with the eastern location next to /jidf/ but could maybe be made to work with the islands to the east of the continent.

>>72081307
>>72113145
On the topic of "neutral ground" threads, another one I can't believe I didn't think of earlier is /ybc/. They have factions from many other threads with their own narratives to the point they're almost a /vtwbg/ on their own.

>>72177682
They even have libraries of archives too.

>>72177682
Would any other nation ever send vtwbg aid? I'd imagine that over time, they'll be the land's scribe.

>>72179722
I guess the issue is that not many other nations seem to know we even exist. I suppose /freak/ might, since that one anon ITT was basically the only one carrying the spirit of /meat/ for maybe a year before the rebranded /freak/ was established.

>>72180298
And to that end, a certain silver-haired knight and his horse has taken it upon himself to spread the word.

>it consists of islands but I wouldn't really consider it isolated because they're right next to the large western continent
This might be an autistic geographical anthropology tidbit, but based on how insular island countries like Japan, Great Britain and Madagascar were from their relatively close adjoining continents, I think that'd still be a factor. But I think your proposal has a portion on the mainland, so that'd be good! I like your thought with /tactical/ too. I guess it'll be difficult to engineer the perfect diplomatic contacts on a map where every country is placed by an anon with his own thought process, can't have both /choc/ and /jidf/.
If we went for the Eastern continent proposal, I guess those islands in picrel could work for /fvr/?
In the end, if I wasn't so indecisive about it I would have picked a while ago, so I'd say we go for the one you prefer!

I guess there's a breadog who knows about /vtwbg/ archives but he keeps quiet about it. Having /vtwbg/ as a trading station would at least keep interest in keeping it neutral from conflict.

>>72181104 (me)
If we go for the western continent, I think the borders in picrel would work pretty well, with either the yellow or the green lines depending on how much of the islands is under /pcg/ proper. The yellow line would be around the area of India.

>>72181104
>based on how insular island countries like Japan, Great Britain and Madagascar were from their relatively close adjoining continents
I was thinking more of Southeast Asia (huh), another tropical region with a lot of islands where there is a lot of cultural interaction between the different islands and between the islands and the main continent. Even for some of your examples like Great Britain you had the Anglo-Saxons, the Danelaw, the Normans, the Hundred Years War, etc.
But your points are valid too, I'll think about it for a bit and see if I can find ways to tie in connections to /lia/, /pcgia/ and /tsunX/ for either proposal. My lore fragments for those would be that part of /pcgia/'s territory once belonged to a Cyberlive nation that no longer exists, and that /tsunX/ is a nation that formed a diplomatic alliance or maybe some sort of dynastic union with /pcg/ due to its own economy struggling to survive.

>>72181841
>Great Britain you had the Anglo-Saxons, the Danelaw, the Normans, the Hundred Years War
Very true, on the Japanese side there's also the various Korean wars. I think maybe those events (mostly "invasions" of some sort) got their renown in part from being deviations from the norm, but also it shows it could definitely happen.
Okay, sounds good! /tsunX/ had very storied lore in the past, so I'm excited for what we come up with for them this time.

>>72182602
I think it's more that the island nations happen to be more well-known during their insular (heh) period. England/UK was no less involved in European affairs until relatively recently (from them being kicked out of France to after the Napoleonic Wars depending on who you ask) but they still like to pretend they're in the middle of the Atlantic instead of 20 miles off France. Japan also had periods of trade with other countries from China to SEA, and even during their isolationist period they still maintained some degree of interaction with the Chinese and the Dutch. Ultimately I would say while being on islands help enforcing isolationism, insular countries being isolationist are mostly caused by political reasons rather than something inherent in being on islands

>>72182602
I started to make a diagram of "which threads /pcg/ interacts with or has a connection to" for the purposes of determining which nations should be close to each other, and it very quickly became rather convoluted. Phase networks a *lot*. May be of some use, nonetheless; I'm still thinking about the other stuff.

>>72183899
Good points all, I think technology is probably a big part of it too. You're pretty cut off from the rest of the world in Japan in the early medieval, but by the late medieval naval travel over those distances is a lot more common, which is probably why that's when a lot of that physical isolation is eroded; after that isolationism goes from being geographical to political I think.
>>72184033
Ohhh cool chart. Yeah, we do have our fingers in lots of pies, especially if you include second degree connections. Could be fun to include deceased threads like pcclg with a different color.

Baker of the last few threads here, I'll be traveling for the next four days, so if someone else could bake when we bump off, arigatou.

>>72130228
I think those bases are still worth labelling on the map at some point, since they're still technically territory controlled.
I'm all for a nation that's scattered about the sea, but every nation in Viti should at least be represented on the map in some way.

>>72187792
What if they live in other people's ports?

>>72188497
Mixed territory labeling perhaps. For reference, sometimes maps have areas that are either contested, or jointly controlled by 2 or more powers, and usually have diagonal dashes of different colors to represent it.
Think of it like how back when Ukraine was pro-Russian, they leased that major Crimean port to the Russian navy, or how the United States controls Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.

>>72184033
This makes me wonder how much overlap /jidf/ will have with /choc/ once IdolES comes out.
Some anons have speculated that an IdolES split would occur, but depending on how chocolatey the ES girls are they might end up being discussed in /choc/ instead.

>>72189441
itd be pretty fucking funny if they completely whitewash the ES gen

>>72190292
Well, funnily enough out of the two Spanish speaking chuubas Idol already has(and had in Riro's case), both are straight up white, with Kai being (probably) upper-class Puerto Rican and Riro being from Spain and of Russian descent.
Additionally we know Nisha is coming to IdolES, and she is from Spain and uses a white model.
It's possible we don't get any chocolate models funnily enough, though I hope we get at least a couple.

I think a lot of people just think free money when they become indie vTubers. Not many people understand what makes a vTuber good. And those that do often get hit with with the algorithm or they get trapped into making certain kinds of content because of that one viral video. It's hard to grow your channel organically vTuber or not. Though it's easier than ever to get banned.

It's almost bump limit. So how's the projects going? Also I'm closing the restaurant on Sundays.

Perhaps she comes from /fvr/, they are good at Baking Fresh over there. (And they're friend-threads.)

Baker-chan is a Sanallite.
