but how would that work

[Anonymous No.]

so does anyone like my suggestion here >>23535405 and if not, can they make any suggestions on how to improve it?

[Anonymous No.]

>>23570776
Well, for example, if the rose is to indicate tense, then a rosebud can mean the sentence is in future tense (as it's yet to blossom), a blossom means it's in present tense, and maybe a withered one is in past tense? Additional marks can be used to indicate more complex tenses that the language might have (like perfect tense in English).

[Anonymous No.]

>>23570827
I think it's needlesly complicated, but that may be due to me being dumb, in any case, I think i'm fine with putting this shit off until we have better defined the nature of chuubanite, having chuubanite be for enviromental reasons means that we can tack on an explanation about it later without affecting how it works in the world

[Anonymous No.]

>>23571002
like this?

[Anonymous No.]

>>23571265
Looks good to me, but let's see if rosebuds like it as well. If withering rose doesn't sit well with rosebuta, then something like rosehip can work as well (although making them distinct from rosebud might be difficult).
If the language has its grammar worked out, we can assign more meaning to the rose as well.

I do like it! I think it's pretty darn creative too. I'm really happy with how this is coming out. Rosebutas aren't typically afraid of death so don't worry about a wilting rose. After all you turn to compost when you die, which means whatever grows from you is basically your reincarnation.

[Anonymous No.]

>>23571173
well, it's somewhat natural that it would be complicated when the request the other guy made of me was to make it quantifiable/measurable. ultimately, you don't need to think about it since this doesn't take into account people having extra reserves of chuubanite, or using it in more efficient ways to make it's effect stronger by design choice rather than relying solely on the natural rate of decay/power of the chuubanite effect, you'll just have to leave room for that as an option. the main point of having something like this is basically just to have it as a resource when we decide we want to get needlessly complicated about this stuff. if the logic is sound, and if there aren't any better alternatives, i think this could be very useful for us later, if someone decides to make use of it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>23572150
what do you mean by environmental? this is supposed to show the rate of decay to energy while in use. if the chuubanite has the same rate of decay while in use as in rest, then that means energy would have to be spent at all times. i'll wait for a response before i write anything more.

>Luknight Expedition to /risu/ Log, Entry 3

We have now been in the land of the Risuners for one month. Thankfully, the issue with Sir Nalava has been worked out. After finishing the treat with the nuts and tree sap, he named it 'Baklava', a combination of his name and tree bark. Both I and the Risuners truly enjoyed it, and I believe Himesama will be delighted to taste it. Sir Nalava had also been hoping the Risuners would be pleased enough to allow continued tapping, but it was not so. Thankfully, the Risuners were happy enough to provide honey in exchange for more Baklava, which serves as a suitable substitute for the tree sap.

With the local conflict resolved, our expedition team has split. Sir Nalava and the bulk of our team will stay in Silvanus to form an embassy, while myself, Sir Mallow Sucre, and Lady Lululu Toffy, along with 3 guide Risuners will make a trek to the reported religious town of Pasuma, and eventually, their great tree temple. A similar group will be making their way to a port town on the other side of the Risuners' lands.

So far, it has been three days on the journey, slightly under half way, according to our guides. They are confused as to why we do not remove our armor. I let out a long "NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" to show my devotion to Himesama, and my fellow luknights followed. They seemed confused, though one of them shouted "Suuuuuuuuu" back at us, playfully.

Yes, chuubanite absorbs energy and radiates it away, an energy cycle, kind of how multiple materials in earth have their own cycles like the nitrogen cycle. In this case chuubanite aids other processes in their own cycles thanks to its key feature of energy absortion and material adaptation.
chuubanite absorbs this energy from its enviroment. and it expels it into the enviroment. then the rate to which chuubanite expels energy must be relative to the chunk of chuubanite (and other enviromental factors) , bigger chunks of chuubanite holds more energy and expels it slower.
Chuubanite can be forced to expel more energy through all kinds of techniques.
If i am to use an example, let's say that /kfp/'s chuubanite flamethrowers have containers in their backs where they put the chuubanite, this means that the heated chuubanite is in isolation and its energy radiation is now slowed down to almost nothing, the flamethrowers then use a device where it "pinches" the chuubanite to make it expel energy at the press of a trigger, this energy is expelled as fire through the delivery means of the flamethrower.
Let's use another example, /ris/'s magic forest. the chuubanite absorbs nutrients from plants, dead wildlife, the sun and geothermal sources. The planst have evolved to abuse the chuubanite sources as a battery, and they sap away energy to foster their own growth, this gives us a forest that not only takes energy from the traditional sources but also from the chuubanite.

>Luknight Expedition to /nasa/, Entry 1

After a very long journey, we have finally arrived to the land of the Sanallites. The Robosa have been hospitable as always, nanora. The Anpontan alliance remains strong.

At the border, we were greeted by two Sanallites and their strange squishy dogs. These strange dogs looked delicious... I almost wanted to take a bite, but the Sanallites told us they weren't food. What a shame, naaaa...

We were taken to a base to warm up, and sample their proposed trading items. Their ice cream was magnificent, like the sweet ice from Nanoramune, but creamy like milk. And the chocolate nut butter! Smooth, almost drinkable, but so rich! I couldn't help but NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA at the flavor, and the Sanallites were pleased at our satisfaction.

They have been happy to share the ice cream recipe, but not the chocolate nut butter. It seems they lack the ability to make more themselves, too... I hope the other expedition is doing well, nanora. For Himesama's sake.

Loyal to Luna as always, Sir Lanuna Passionfruit

The bread dogs are food but they are emergency food. You only eat bread dogs when you have nothing else to eat. As for ice-cream recipes, as long as you have rock-salt and ice you should be able to make ice-cream. Though you'll need an ice-cream maker first. To make chocolate hazelnut-butter with this fine silky smooth texture needs technology too advanced for your age. That's why we won't share.

Dunno, the more valuable thing seems to be sugar, but supply lines are bound to be a bitch and make it really expensive, other than that, I guess knowledge about /luna/ might be the more desired thing.
Right now a desired goal might be to get /luna/ sugar farmers to take their cold sugar cane and teach us how to plant it in the Republic, but this might damage /luna/'s diplomatic strategy and influence due to there being another source of sugar in the continent instead of being the holder of the monopoly.

what about words that don't use tenses? just leave them normal i guess? since this language isn't agglutinative, we can make it two suffixes that only present themselves under the abnormal cases of past or future tense, and leave present untouched so that tenseless words don't have to suffer conjugation (fuck you icelandic)

Blender and mixers should be relatively common in some of the more industrial/developed pre-existing bakeries. Those
would only be water/man powered though. Due to potatoes being the most popular staple food by far bread recipes are likely relatively limited. Bakers in the Republic would be ecstatic to get to know more styles of bread other than the usual potato bread.

>>23575845
I dunno about potatoes. To trade with the Luknights the traders would have to go via land, either around the rrat mountains or straight through the tunnels the monks dug. Moving them within the Republic is easy due to the shorter distance and better roads. Supplying to neighbors with easily accessible ports is one thing but traversing half the continent just to trade potatoes might be a bit unrealistic.

>I imagine it would likely default to present or omitted in casual writing

Most likely trade route would be through the sea into /hlgg/ where they'd be transported by land to /luna/, so it does seem a bit unlikely. I also don't really know the status of the northern sea passage, so i don't know if we can use that.

[Anonymous No.]

>>23577064
Well, the alternatives would be either:
>tenseless words agree to the tense of the sentence (likely based on the verb)
>the rose indicates different things for tenseless words
The latter might be better if the goal is to preserve the roses (good song btw), since in casual writing, especially before the time of codified grammar and universal education, parts that don't get used tend to be omitted over time, and I don't think tense agreement is significant enough to be preserved by that alone.

>>23577315
Even if it's useable I doubt it's the preferred route. The route from /hlg/ to /Luna/ makes more sense. Some might go through the northern passage but it would most likely be for some kind of one off or infrequent trade. Due to the treacherous conditions I doubt there's any ports big enough to support any trade other than local ones and maybe one or two bigger, more sea-worthy ship. The sea to the north of /Luna/ isn't like the Baltic where multiple nations meet and being quite accessible with rare freezes.

Then, perhaps the chuubas can have a role in how the chuubanite is formed? Basically they influence what factors make it so that "neutral" chuubanite is of a certain attunement instead.

[Anonymous No.]

>>23580507
what role do they play? how is it established? it's the case regardless that material related to chuubas can be used to bring out chuubanite energy related to them, but why does it do that? for me, the answer is pretty easy, the concept exists in a conceptual universe that gives it it's unique power, but you need to figure out a way to make the material connected to the chuubas that doesn't rely on any concepts, even though there isn't actually a reason why any material would be associated with a chuuba besides symbolism, which i would imagine requires some degree of conceptual or psychic power, since symbolism is not concrete or anything.

Ideally, the respective generals would create techniques, cultural events, and internal stories to represent the chuubas accordingly included in their own lore and culture instead of relying on vtuber specific chuubanite or having the chuubas directly affect how chuubanite works. "Attunement" should be elemental, meaning, Chuubanite attunes with various elements of the periodic table, not with the specific vtuber
As of now this is simply a description of how chuubanite would act in the world, I've thought of reusing warp mechanics to explain purely how chuubanite absorbs energy and expells it, the precense of vtubers would cause the absorb-expell effect. The other suggestion is that the creation of vtubers and the /jp/-/vt/ split is what created and filled the world with chuubanite as a big sort of ice-meteor effect (named as such for the theory that our earth was filled with water from an ice meteor that struck the planet), this would mean that chuubanite is a side-effect of the vtubers.
In chuubanite, chuubanite works because there are vtubers, but no particular vtuber should have more influence on how chuubanite works or how it is shaped to avoid any case of vtuber specific chuubanite.
Ultimately my proposal here was to establish how chuubanite works without dealing with any conceptual or other world stuffs, integrating vtubers into it is the second goal once we have establised a hard system of how chuubanite works.

Arrgh I really wish i could describe it better, I hope it is enough to explain myself

[Anonymous No.]

>>23581694
I think that could work. I think I would amend this to say chuubanite attunes with specific molecules rather than elements. For example, meat, risu and luna chuubanite attune to flesh, plants and sugar respectively. Those things are all carbon-hydrogen-oxygen compounds. But if its molecule specific, then meat can attune to meat proteins, risu to cellulose (and other plant molecules), and luna to glucoses (and other sugar molecules). I think even then there probably still a possibility for overlap though, for example with water-themed chuubas like /ggg/ and /~ehe/.
Also, this doesn't really affect the rest of the idea, but it was voted that the jp-vt split is a historical event a bit more than a thousand years past (the actual creation of vtubers happened before /vt/ existed, after all). But the creation of vtubers in the faraway past could have gone as you say.

Each general has their own way of using chuubanite. Chuubanite is vitubium bonded with other matter. Sometimes its iron ore. Other times its wood. Either way vitubium has its way of storing energy whether it be kinetic, thermal, or chemical. That's the "magic" side of vitubium.

[Anonymous No.]

>>23581411
you said the chuuba has a role in how the cuubanite is formed, what is that role, and how does it work? what is the mechanism that associates stuff in the enviornment with a chuuba?
>>23581694
you know, looking back at all that you have described, you are basically describing the original chuubanite rentry. that doesn't answer the question i was trying to answer with what i gave. the chuubanite rentry explains the physical stuff but doesn't explain the magical stuff. where does the magic come from? how does it work? my idea is working off of the chuubanite rentry as a first step, so that is considered canon for the physical stuff, but the conceptual realm stuff is the explanation for the unique magical effects that cannot be reproduced through normal physics, the stuff that is unique to each thread. idk why we don't just stop stepping around the issue and say definitively that the chuubanite rentry is canon so we can stop having people come in 50 steps behind on everything, acting as if they are presenting a unique idea by literally repeating the same two ideas that me and that one physicist guy made. do you have a better explanation for the magic effects than the warp explanation, i already agree chuubanite should work mostly like nuclear physics in terms of it's physical effects.

[Anonymous No.]

>>23582092
the fact that a highly unstable element binds to other elements isn't magic. how the magic energy works is the question this discussion was started by. the most elegant explanation, from my perhaps biased perspective, is the one where the only magical effect of chuubanite/vitubium itself is the ability to bridge the gap between the physical and conceptual realm. the more detailed magic comes from a universe made out of concepts, like the warp, which is how concepts such as chuubas can be used to have a physical effect on reality.

>do you have a better explanation for the magic effects than the warp explanation
No, I do not have any explanation about the magic effects, for I am not offering any.
I am pushing for the definition of how chuubanite works in the physical world to be completely defined. And I have already stated my suggestion for how it is to be defined.
This suggestion is meant to work independently of any "conceptual" world or warp system. Ridding ourselves of any "anti-chuubanite" or vtuber-specific chuubanite formations to avoid changing the way chuubanite is shaped and how it works.
This suggestion also has the advantage of being one of the first ways chuubanite was suggested it was to work.

Any proposals on the "magic side" of Chuubanite can be fully decided upon once the physical workings of Chuubanite are defined.

>>23582092
I won't consider vitubium because my head hurts already and I am tired of thinking
>>23582090
Those are quite interesting ideas, in the case of /luna/, maybe the chuubanite deposits are close by sugar is planted and that is what makes the chuubanite into sugar-chuubanite, having it be molecules instead of elements would allow the generals to be more technical with the techniques they wish to develop.

I am tired and I can not think anymore, for I am not as smart as I wish I was. So I'll state the suggestion on how chuubanite works at the simplest level I can.
Energy goes in the chuubanite and energy goes out the chuubanite.
If the chuubanite is in close contact with
1. Molecules (or cells in the case of /meat/)
2. Particular elements
3. Heat or cold
It will "attune" or bond with the material. Or absorb it if it's absorbable (like heat is)

Considerations on the "magic-side" of chuubanite are to be made once this is defined.

I think this idea is almost there, but there's one issue. Then, why isn't there /meat/ chuubanite everywhere with flesh? Why isn't there /risu/ chuubanite everywhere with plants? and so on with sugar and luna etc.
I think this is the part where the non-physical world kind of has to have a role, to explain the locality of chuubanite attunements.

>Any proposals on the "magic side" of Chuubanite can be fully decided upon once the physical workings of Chuubanite are defined.
they were already defined pretty well in the rentry. we are well beyond this stage, which is why i have been discussing the magic side of it. anti-chuubanite and vtuber specific vitubium (chuubanite is apparently the word we use when it fuses with other material to be chuuba specific) are perfectly in line with the way chuubanite works, but people keep assuming that because people keep doing anti-chuubanite poorly, that the concept itself must be the problem. it isn't, we just keep giving up on the concept right before we get to the actual problems of the suggestions. chuubanite is mostly a chemical thing, which is why i keep saying material instead of element, these things were all discussed in the rentry, yet people keep forgetting for some reason.
>>23583256
>why isn't there /meat/ chuubanite everywhere with flesh?
if not for humans, many animals and plants would be incapable of escaping the region they evolved. i'd say it isn't the fact that they can't exist outside of a region, but rather that it is strongest in the hands of someone with a strong dedication to the concept of whatever it is they worship or believe in, obviously including chuubas. also, native chuubanite is more prominent in natives than forigners, with that being said, i personally dislike the idea that chuubanite effects have to be so region specific at all, so whatever.

I'm going to assume this restricts all meteor chuubanite in /nasa/ to only be useable as rocket fuel and nothing else.

[Anonymous No.]

>>23583256
listen man, my brain juices are out, but maybe we can work with chuubanite sizes, if the size of a chuubanite chunk decides the amount of energy it can hold, then maybe /meat/ has to use smaller chunks of chuubanite that have been left to bond with the bodies of sacrified victims, or blood, blood works, then these chunks of chuubanite are crushed along with medicinal plants native to /meat/ and secret concoctions. You'd end up with a soup that heals fast made in such a way that the techniques for it have been developed in /meat/ thanks to a combination of cultural, religious practices and the local flora along with special techniques their priests developed to further their practices.

/risu/'s chuubanite works by making forest grow fast, so it isn't something exclusive to them, /uuu/ could have something similar. Instead, maybe their chuubanite is deeper into the ground where it absorbs nutrients and pumps them into the upper ground.
I've nothing for /luna/. Maybe the chuubanite has to be prepped in some way, cleansed of previous substances before they work it on sugar, or maybe /luna/'s ground is naturally more sugary for some strange reason (i'm not sure if that happens IRL thought).

Maybe chuubanite has an effective range of only the things it touches in addition to the size effects, so the outer edges of a chuubanite deposit would be contaminated while its center would be free to use. This would still allow the deep forests of /risu/ to use their roots to tap into it, pushing the /risu/ forest to evolve in such a way as to end in a self-feeding loop with the chuubanite reserves of /risu/

I've just got an entirely unrelated idea btw, /morig/'s chuubanite would be open air allowing it to absorb the heat of the volcano and the island, cooling it down, but whenever the volcano gets closer to eruption the chuubanites heat capacity edges over into its limit, causing it to release heat, this would help explain some of the disasters /morig/ goes through. Overloaded chuubanite would fall apart and quickly release its energy in an explosive manner, this puts /morig/ into a dangerous situation if the volcano ever erupts.

I was hoping /nasa/'s meteorite can have carvings on it as if it were alien tech that could do sonething cool with space. But I guess that's too unrealistic. I was hoping to have something with a little gravity manipulation. Again, too unrealistic. Guess we'll just make nuclear bombs I guess.

>>23584473
Not according to the entire discussion we had. Chuubanite can do many things except break the laws of physics. If the meteorite does have a gravitational pull then it is because it has more mass than the planet. Which obviously makes it too heavy to move AND IT WOULD LITERALLY EAT THE PLANET IT LANDED ON. If /nasa/ wants near zero-G then we will have to launch the station into orbit. Until then we need to focus on building factories to make machines to make space station parts.

We will use chuubanite as a greener alternative to fossil fuels. But before we can do that we need engines. And before we can make engines we need interchangeable parts made with machine precision. Which to make those machines we have to hand forge everything to build them. This is why repairing the station is a 99 year project. Limited resources and limited people. We need to focus on giving birth to more people so in the next generations we can build what we need.

[Anonymous No.]

>>23584924
Well, if that's what you want your chuubanite to do, that's fine, but gravity manipulation doesn't break thermodynamics or something like that. I think we can have some physics that don't exist IRL as long as they're internally consistent and don't open up loop holes.

Can we break the laws of physics by manipulating gravity? Its clear to me that this is the kind of stuff you want chuubanite to explicitly avoid doing.

[Anonymous No.]

>>23585188
I think in general as long as conservation of energy and conservation of momentum are preserved it should be okay. Having some matter be able to have a stronger gravitational field than their mass should allow doesn't break either of those. You'd just need to provide energy to the chuubanite when it does gravitational work.

How about a trade then. No fucking nukes but /nasa/ can use the meteorite to make a zero-g stadium in the station's tip. We can modify the meteorite to spin suspended in the air via electromagnetism. Also the mass the meteorite can lift is restricted to the machine's speed and the meteorite's own weight. Which I will say in burger units is less than 300 pounds. Anything heavier is still affected by earth's gravity. Also with other meteorite chuubanite we should be able to replicate this effect on a much smaller scale, allowing us to engineer rotational engines around the chuubanite. That way when we make vehicles they won't be nuclear bombs. This is exclusive to meteorite chuubanite. Earth chuubanite we can still make rockets out of.

people have been 50 steps behind, and have been repeatedly proposing terrible ideas of how to handle anti-chuubanite, that doesn't mean the concept itself is a lost cause, but if you want to throw away a potentially interesting idea, fine. just don't immediately dismiss it if someone comes up with a workable solution. the chuubanite rentry has been sufficient, we have been talking about the magic side of chuubanite for a while, i made the warp interpretation, and when someone else challenged me to come up with a way to measure it, i provided >>23535405 as a potential solution. is that solution workable, or are there flaws with it? if so, i would like to hear them. thank you.

Winardi logs chapter 2.

So far these /luna/ people are even stranger than the kronies but are still quite nice to be around. I personally am very fond of the idea of big metal boys protecting us all while feeding us tasty snacks. Sounds like an amazing deal! And we even get to share nuts with them so hopefully they can enjoy candy flavor nuts or something when they go home.

They mentioned at some point wanting to make an assembly in Silvanus. Well considering the fact that Silvanus is not actually a Risuner name but a name we inheritied from the kronies its kind of fitting that it basically becomes the go to place for visitors. And not to mention it only makes our cities look even bigger and cooler so I say let them. Totally not doing this for tasty snacks.
Heck at this point with the luknights, kronies, and sometimes a delegate from /meat/ it seems Silvanus is going to become an international meeting point. Side note I just realized that Silvanus has the word Anus in it. No wonder the kronies always laugh when we mention it. Best not to tell that joke to the luna people though, they seemt o be too pure for such jokes.

Now I am quite sad that they will not hand over those gems in their armor to us. I mean COME ON whats the damn point of showing off your shiny gems if your not even going to use them! Seems like a massive waste to me but I dont want to disappoint their envoys so I told everyone to cancel the idea of gem trading. They have plenty of other stuff we can use anyway.
Speaking of things we want I did discuss how they made their big armor and how easy it is to move around in. They did mention something about lighter armor and I did notice a select few wear armor that doesnt seem as "fat". But seriously how the hell do they move in those massive iron cans? And if they have this much to spare then could we get some? Using our food as trade resources if this works out we could have risuners with metal weaponry way better than the ones we have now.

It seems the man with the very silly name (reminder to not laugh at his name) Sir Saccharin Plumdrop III, has requested to go to Pasuma. Well I don't see why not given they are a religious people. Maybe thats why they all wear big armor, must be a religious thing. I dont get it though how the actual fuck are you supposed to cuddle with them if they wont take it off. I should ask one of them to remove their armor just for a bit to see how they would react. Would make for a good project.
He mentioned something about our roads specifically our abundance of red rocks. Told me that it looks like rusted metal. And that if we were to mine all of it that we could have armor for all of the risuners. As appealing as that would seem to some people we are known for being fast not heavy.It would be such a pain to climb trees while in a suit of armor. But I can understand the point Plumdrop was trying to make. I guess were just sitting on all this supposed rock/metal supply and not using it, especially on the western side of the nation.
Still that is something I will have to bring up with some of the others if it works better than the bog iron we have been using recently. ONe of the other guys said that it contains something called aluminum. Whatever that is.

And now here we are. Pasuma is a beautiful city like always with by far the most statues and decorations of Risu than any other. We show them the city center which is where Risu herself personally teleports to to begin our glorious nut exchange. He seemed fascinated by this spot and told him he could go there if he likes which of course he did immediately. I kind of respect these luknights in this matter that they seem to be most stubbornly loyal to their Luna while we are stubborn loyal to our Risu. I wonder if Luna does a trip once a year like Risu does?
Last thing to note is that there was a bit of trouble. It seems that the only thing bigger than Plumdrops armor is his curiosity and he was intending on going to the temple of Risu itself. Well naturally that got stopped immediately by pretty much every risuner in the near vicinity. One of the guides tried to explain in their language that not even most risuners are allowed past Pasuma and an outsider going there would just result in most likely death. It was a shame to see him so upset, he really was looking forward to it after all but I told him that if he ever wants to meet Risu than just stay for the month of november as long as your willing to hand over all the nuts we have traded with you.
He gave me a shocked look. "Why would I give back that which we have accepted as trade goods"? When I told him of our nearly nut exchange to Risu his face had an even funnier expression. I guess they do things quite differently at /luna/ but this is to be expected with foreign people. Nevertheless Plumdrop (my god I love this dudes name) was definitely interested in what Pasuma had to offer.

Aztec feasts were a display of material culture and wealth—notes by Friar Bernardino de Sahagún and Friar Diego Durán describe Aztec feasts as events where "everything was to be created in abundance".
>The food served during this feast was traditionally spicy. Noted by Sahagun was: "And the sauce of the tamales was called 'red chilli sauce'. And when the good common folk ate, they sat about sweating, they sat about burning themselves. And the tamales stuffed with greens were indeed hot, gleaming hot."
If /meat/ feasts are anything like the Aztec's, they actually sound like pretty cool places to be as long as you aren't vulnerable to sensory overload or spicy food or being the main course.

Also I did some back-of-the-envelope calculation and got some dates for /meat/:
>First Hololive General on /jp/: 2020-02-11 (2020-042) - 898 BVT
>First /jp/ meatpost: 2020-10-28 (2020-302) - 244 BVT
>First Hololive Global on /vt/: 2021-02-02 (2021-033) - 1 VTE

>Current date: 2022-04-23 (2022-113) - 1120 VTE
There're probably some earlier posts that I missed, but the years here should be about right. I guess we can say the cult was first documented around 244 BVT, and after the split, some of the cultists went to find their own land and eventually set up shops in modern /meat/land around 187 VTE. Not sure what the first /meat/ post (as opposed to /sbg/ post) should represent, although I reckon it's a good place on the timeline for /meat/ to truly make its name through great raids across the holo sea, which would persist until it got BTFO at around 950~1050 (based purely on technology and not board history)?
Also unrelated to /meat/ but for reference, the first /vtwbg/ thread would be dated around 886 VTE.

Infinite energy machines is troll science. A rotational engine is similar to a piston engine, except the parts rotate around a centerpoint like an orbit. So we would have the refined meteorite chuubanite spinning in the center. Then the machines would orbit around the meteorite drawing power.

I like that idea as well, but the prompt's technically about funeral rites, not human sacrifice, which is why I prefer to keep the list of rites to things that aren't as time-dependent as the ryona bell ritual.
Feeding people (criminals, as noted in the thread) to monsters work too, even if that's technically execution. Back when I talked about how to rework the coral reeves, I also made an off-hand mention of Comma's priestesses feeding/converting themselves to the vagina dentata colony, which is probably closer to a combination of funeral rites and retirement.
I guess at this point we might forego the prompt itself and expand the whole thing to human sacrifices in general?

i think, in the case of /meat/, funeral rites and human sacrifice would go hand in hand, with the result always being that the body is put to some practical use, such as food, fertilizer, tools and equipment, etc. the only things we need to consider are how we deal with rotten or diseased bodies, which the answer would basically just be to burn diseased bodies into ash and use them as a fertilizer. so, at what age or condition should we expect people to go through the human sacrifice part? would it be voluntary for non-criminals? my thoughts are that it would be mostly voluntary, especially since we encourage suffering as a means of worship, but in the case of priestesses who take on the appearance of our chuubas, retirement should be a very important process, as you have described.

no, akira threatened to retire from life, and comma got found out by her parents when she threw up twice after overdosing, but neither of them graduated, and as you can probably tell, after the recent stapler incident, comma is still doing her experiments. the problem we currently have is that they got banned from a few of their sites, but we still have some archives, and more are hopefully coming, so hopefully it wont be too much of a problem.

Yeah, I think I'll expand the list to include other ways to sacrifice as well. Regarding cremation, I would say it's only mandated when the dead/soon-to-be-dead shows signs of (some? you can probably still get eaten if you caught a cold or something) diseases/poisoning, is already rotten/decomposing, or is deemed ritually unfit for any (other) kinds of rituals. It can still be chosen by individuals who are otherwise eligible for other forms of sacrifice, but I think most who opted for that would be non-believers who happen to live in /meat/.
For the rest, they can choose (or be chosen) what kind of sacrifice they go through, among the list of means that they're eligible. The aforementioned cannibalism by close relatives/friends/clergy is probably the "default" option that most are eligible, and is probably the most common way to go in /meat/. It's technically voluntary, since you can always choose to just be cremated after death instead, although that's usually a sign that you aren't a believer. Depending on your social status and wealth/influence, there are sacrifices deemed more exalted than the default. As mentioned, raiders who feel they have a good run might opt for being killed in mock battles; clergy might decide to get fed to relevant monsters/beasts; and priestesses who are sufficiently similar to the chuuba they worship might opt to go for deiphagy before ageing takes its toll (since deiphagy is pretty much the best way to die for a /meat/head). There're probably a lot of deadly rituals that are on /meat/'s book.
After the rituals, the body parts will be put to use depending on the kind of ritual and their condition. Skulls are usually repurposed into bowls or containers, although notable individuals might get theirs preserved and painted as decoration - illustrious families might have a whole rack of skulls proudly on display. Femurs might be used to make pipes, flutes, or armour bits if they have enough chuubanite to be hard enough (although ceremonial armour isn't as demanding in that aspect). Skin could be used for leather, either for clothing or book cover. The list goes on, but I think the one constant is that the brain and spinal cord will almost always be ground and burnt for compost, since they're too soft for tools (that I can think of), and historical examples of them being eaten don't usually end well. Bones too small/not of the right shape for tools might also be mixed in to make meat and bone meal.

/nasa/ has designs for aluminun alloy sail boats. We can't put rockets on them. But they're pretty fast and economic. We've made some small kayaks out of scrap metal. They're pretty good for fishing in river and sea. Though the transportation problem keeps us from shipping them to the station. Perhaps rocket sleds and wagons can work. Though the lockdowns have to end first.

Pretty sure you can't put motors on sailboats, since that would defeat the point of sailboat racing anyway.

We can set up a VR simulation to train with sailboat sailing. Its no where near close to the real thing but some training is better than nothing.

Also surprised reading the rentry that the NEET Sanalites love the technology lockdown. I'm guessing their simulation practice is paying off when applied to the real world. Its those who's entire careers are built on /nasa/'s station and networking that are screaming pink wojaks. The cosplayers are fine. There's a new fetish for cave women.

They do. Certain instruments like drums might be difficult to play for Tunnelhogs, due to their different hand structure, but they'd love string instruments. Sunwalkers would be more likely to play drums and such.
I also had an idea for a "blast organ", using a design like an organ with the vibrating/explosive ability of Rosestones to make a very heavy hitting kind of sound.

Ironic that drums are the most difficult instrument to play for tunnelhogs since all you do is beat them. Anyway for music /nasa/ has electronic instruments you can program to play music for you. Though we usually interact with those instruments using keyboards. I guess disc jockeying would also be popular. Though personally I prefer metal.

I also enjoy metal, honestly. Also I'm more referring to the drumsticks than just pounding on the drum itself. Something like that seems like it'd be hard for them to control.

Sorry for the late response, was at work. The general flow I had in mind was for Alex to give the reigns and the main code to Mac, kinda shifting the "protagonist" of the story (since if Alex came back now the conflict might just escalate instantly, whereas Mac still has good standing with the Sanallites of the station, "I made myself the devil and now I'm making you the saviour" kinda deal) and while Mac would initially fight back, not wanting to be used like a pawn, he would eventually give in. The chapter would end with Mac starting his walk back to the station with a flurry of thoughts and main code in hand.

I also wanted to tie in the /meat/ priestess, which was sleeping on the top bunk of the bed in the part that I wrote, perhaps alluding to a more sinister underside of the whole conflict wanted to set up a Heretic war for season two and going back with Mac to the station, which would also let her meet with her party, which I think I forgot to mention When Mac and Charlie talked with Mika. And since I saw something about tattoos for boosting our immune system so we can breathe unfiltered air, also wanted to start up that side of things, though I would have to check back in the threads for more info. But all of that (tattoos, heretics and confrontation with the Sanallites of the station and Jonathan) would be for chapters after this one, so it would have been out of my hands anyway, but still wanted to set it up, you know, branch out the story a bit and whatnot.

[Anonymous No.]

>>23635697
So think Jonny boy would sieze the code from Mac and take control over the station? Then again Jonny need's Mac's biometrics since Alex transferred accounts to him.

[Anonymous No.]

>>23636297
While I didn't flesh it out or anything, since I wouldn't be writing it anyway, I guess Mac would first get to gather and talk with the Sanallites outside the station, and by the time the unusual gathering was reported to Jonathan and he got there with his boys, the group would be big enough and on the fence about the ideas Mac presented to them that they would kinda keep things from spiraling out of control (even if they have weapons, Jonny's group would still be outnumbered extremely, and he ain't stupid. He wouldn't try anything too drastic in a situation like that, though he would still be kinda agressive). Basically, the meeting would be barely in time before the security department went out and initiated a hostile takeover of the station.

And for the wildcard, the priestess could intervene in the discussion if things started going bad, revealing that Jonathan and some others were in fact marked with a ritualistic tattoo that enhanced their feelings, which influenced them to cling and enforce the Grand Directive even more than they would usually (while Jonathan is most definitely a staunch believer in it, due to the tattoo he would border on maniacal(think ecclesiarchy in 40k)) and since she encountered them before, would be able to remove them(read: Tear the skin on which it's placed off), difusing the situation a bit (at which point the Mac and Jonny could talk normally). And then BAM, shadow figures were watching all along muahahaha, and they say "fuck it, get the rock, we bouncin' mate". And that would kinda be it, the talks would be long, but in the end, a compromise would somehow be met, and everyone lived happily ever after, fucking squirrels and robutts, at least until the shadowy figures try to summon AO-chan. Perhaps not the best ending to the season, but I ain't a proffesional writer so fuck it

R3 & 4 can probably be a single region while R1 and 2 can be expanded a little by eating some of 3 & 4, to represent the lower density in the East. R7 would also probs be a good place for the capital, though it won't provide that much strategic depth, being closer to the ports would be a plus(but then again the initial reason to set up in R5 is most likely for military reasons). That being said, R7 can be split into 2 to really hammer home the fact that the West has more cities.

[Anonymous No.]

>>23658042
There should be some nut production in /who/ but nowhere near the scale of /risu/. The most common types would be hazelnuts and walnuts with some almonds. The most desired product would be fabric, steel tools(doubt /risu/ has the facilities to make use of steel or wrought iron) and alcohol(think IPA and Vodka) I guess. /who/ is very industrialised so they should be (relatively) nice and cheap. Depends on the type of nuts that /risu/ has but most likely for making sweets as a part of religious tribute to the Nameless one and for pressing oils(don't have to rely on clarified butter or olive oil to add extra flavour to fried foods, also can be made into soap industially).

And yes our steel production is zero and our bog iron production is just beginning so we dont got industrial anything pretty much.

Uhhh I think I would need a geography anon here. Without rivers it's kinda hard to imagine how to further refine the borders. And IIRC it's already been discussed that there should be at least two major rivers albeit with only one flowing out of the sea in /who/. Since the Republic should be pretty homogeneous the border should be purely administrative and influenced by the productions and geography of the regions. This version is pretty good but without rivers, I don't know where to put the "Rhineland" of the Republic. Picrel is how I roughly imagine the placement to be. Red solid dots in the West are the major port cities(Southern one should be the biggest and hosts the Navy home base, preferably with a major river somewhat near it.) Red with orange is where the capital is roughly and the blue dotted line is the rough area the industrial heartland is located.

Cloth is processed from things like wool, linen, and other things i'm not remembering,.
feathers sounds nice actually, they wouldn't really be fancy thought.
On the question of food, we already produce the most food of the western part of the continent, so importing would be for rarer things like fruits and tropical stuffs, due to distances involved, logistics would limit the fruits to dried goods, but those'd still be quite good i reckon.
We get our wood from /uuu/ and the internal forests, I'm unsure of the feasibility of importing wood from halfway across the world thought. Can't be cheap thought.

/who/'s textile would be mostly woollen and linen. Fabric can be made out of many fibres, the usual are cotton, flax, wool and synthetic(ofc we aren't there yet). /Risu/ is too far from /who/ so food export aside from say, nuts are not that feasible or economical. Timber would really depend on how many trees are still around. /uuu/ definitely won't sell them, let alone cutting them. The western part should still have many trees(unlike say 18-19 century Britain) but for applications like shipbuilding, they might not be the best/most suited kind. I'm not a naval expert but the type and characteristic of wood affect the ship's hull quite a lot so the demand would be highly specific and limited for ships and maybe furniture.

How familiar is /who/ with replanting forests? I'm sure if you log wood from /uuu/ then they'll want you to replant trees. The other thing to keep in mind is the wildlife. If predators lose too much hunting ground then they'll go after your livestock.

[Anonymous No.]

for every tree chopped down we plant like 3 more. and if you dont do this you get tossed into the geese chambers. if you need help replanting trees then risuners have plenty of manpower especially since they're constantly breeding

[Anonymous No.]

>>23663137
Depends on where you live and do most likely. Citizens living near the /uuu/ border would internalize some of the sapling's ideas and be more active in managing and replanting forests, same goes for the few rural communities that still rely on hunting and lumbering. For farmers and ranchers I doubt they give two shits about replanting and they have plenty of guns to ward wolves and owlbears off. The deforestation issue probably isn't so severe that there is strict enforcement or state promotion on replanting trees.

[Anonymous No.]

>>23663381
measure for it would probably be on the lighter side yeah. Since we do need the forests for the navy and fueling the industry replanting culture would probably become state enforced once it starts getting on the more severe side

>>23663335
You have to be careful with that. Your soil can degrade quickly and the closer trees are together the worse fires spreads. But if you have magic fertile soil then go for it. The difference between /nasa/ and everyone else is /nasa/ has never lived with chuubanite. I realized I just made /nasa/ spaceman isekai.

You know, i never considered the idea of what happens if a fire spread out. I also didnt consider the idea of OVERforestization if thats even a word/thing. Risuners do chop down trees for basic shit so maybe instead it can be a tree for a tree kind of deal where when they chop down one they plant 1.

[Anonymous No.]

>>23663628
Before man overforestation was a thing. Too much forest can drain water and nutrients from the soil. This is how a climax environment goes into decline. Forest fires from thunderstorms and compost combustion are great for both refreshing the soil and culling overgrowth. Another solution to solve overforestation is mushrooms and fungi. Also trees do get bacterial and viral infections that can kill them. If trees are too close together where their roots are intertwined then diseases can spread quickly. I remember losing my childhood tree to a viral disease that gave the trunk a demon maw. I was told for years that Satan posessed my tree and killed it because god hates my family.

If you're making a campaign to be streamed on YouTube then its for the best. You don't want other generals to be involved if they're from other fanbases. Besides they can use the campaign for their nation's history if they plan to play DnD or Paizo.

I mean hey its what they want to do then so be it. I like kiki but dont watch her TOO much to know. As long as theyre happy.
>>23663936
Id like to think risuners would know about this at some point. IT makes sense given that there is only so much magic energy. And I dont know if i put it in the lore yet but the trees closer to risu temple grow faster than the ones farther away. Mushrooms are a funny thought. I wonder what mushrooms would grow in risu and what they would be used for. Inb4 risuners get high off shrooms kek

[Anonymous No.]

>>23664525
Kiki has a small but rather dedicated fanbase, she's quite lovable and has a love for animals as well. She's also the only vtuber I know that actually likes my pet ants.
As for mushrooms, they basically grow anywhere they can, so /risu/ could definitely have them. Decomposers like mushrooms are especially common in forest grounds due to all the detritus there.

[Anonymous No.]

>>23664525
All kinds of mushrooms can grow in /risu/'s wet and warm environment.

Mushrooms can be used for all kinds of poisons and medicines. Penicillin is an example of a fungus used as an anti-biotic.

[Anonymous No.]

>>23665393
Risu alchemists are a thing. And after seeing potioncraft it only makes sense they probably have fuckloads of potions (which could also be a good export to other nations)

[Anonymous No.]

>>23665449
/nasa/ has to say no to sketchy potions. Especially if we don't know what's in them. Also potions need to be preserved for transport if they are to survive the trip to /nasa/. Unlike video games potions have an expiration date if they're herb and mushroom juice.

Probably won't be around to make the new bread when it's needed. Someone please help do that.

Depends on how much of a head start /meat/ has in that corner of the world. That said I'm afraid of opening up a can of worms with squirrel people getting high of shroom juice.

Other than that, I can see some of the more nurse-themed vtubers might have splits who will likely have a focus on medicine. Athy...

>>23665872
well we definitely can outproduce pretty much everyone in terms of herb and shroom production since things grow really fast. If meat wants they could always trade mushrooms for stuff.

[Anonymous No.]

>>23666282
/meat/ has knowledge of drugs. So you may ask them about how mushrooms work. I heard of a all purpose medicine from /uuu/'s druids using a unique herb and mushroom mix. /nasa/ is researching the chemicals of those herbs and mushrooms to see how they chemically work.

inf brought me here......and ive been active ever since. for a while i single handedly fleshed out /risu/ until we got like 2 or 3 more people who occasionally post. I know they were going crazy at first but i always have to thank them for bringing me here even if the rest of the thread told them to fuck off.

Eh, people give /inf/ a lot of shite, but they do (did?) have a passion for worldbuilding. They're not perfect, especially in regards to incorporating themselves into the world, but I think we shouldn't be too harsh on them.

>We started thing about the map and lore, but that's when archivebud slowly dissapeared from the thread. I keep writing proposing lore, but with little feedback and getting it stuck in limbo I dedicated myself to write side stuff with my kroniicles, only way I found doing something for /here/.
