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

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

My son wants to be a Varangian Guard, is this a good career path for him?

>> No.42807262

>>42807163
The Varangian Guard was a group of elite soldiers in the Byzantine Empire, serving as the personal guard of the Byzantine emperors. It was composed primarily of soldiers from the Scandinavian countries, as well as other Northern European countries, who were known for their fighting skills and bravery. The Varangian Guard played an important role in the history of the Byzantine Empire, and its members were respected for their military prowess.

It is important to note that the Varangian Guard is not a modern career path, as it was dissolved several centuries ago. If your son is interested in a career in the military, there are many modern options available to him, such as serving in the armed forces of his home country, or pursuing a career as a mercenary in private military companies.

Regardless of what career path your son chooses, it is important to support and encourage him in his pursuits. It may be helpful to research different careers and discuss them with him to find the best fit for his skills, interests, and goals.

We didn't really get a proper consensus on the Vitubia question, but for the time being I specified that base Vitubia lore is not part of the ground truth since there seemed to be a bit of uncertainty on that topic.

voice of reason anon from last thread. Yes they are both stupid. Cunt took the post that sapling said and twisted the words to fuck with OG >>42583932

To Cunt, "within our soil" means
>it has to be our dirt and if it is not then fuck you no magic for you

To OG it means
>Of course its your soil, we landed there. Were not gonna bring you to risu so you can use ours.

And I decided to use common fucking sense and tell them this. And this is what further proven by the sapling. Once the accelerated plant growth is gone from presumeably sapling soil then the plants would simple not grow fast. That does not mean they cant grow at all, just means they would grow normally.

My post is >>42802808

OG I personally think your pretty dumb and even you know it but at least you contribute to the thread. Cunt doesnt do shit except for have a raging hateboner for you and twist the words of people to make sure you dont get to do shit. As the voice of reason I am going to tell you this. Just do your damn story with the sapling and ignore everyone else.

Me and PP did some discussion while you were away. Here is our progress writen down.
https://rentry.org/dgxi9
To sunmarise, /meat/'s landmass is big. Our old system is not compatible with the infrastructure of the time. Plus the stealth thread island off the coast of /ggg/ is so far away that travelling there is at the mercy of monsoon changes.
Another plothole we found significant is that due to the distance and winds, /meat/ raiding the gulf region with risu and moon is very impractical.
Early modern espionage takes months of preparation and there is no radio at the time.
You can see that our old lore relied too much on concepts and infrastructure that is unavailable at the time.

I have meatbro getting stuff down about the government. Founder, what exactly are you specialized in or actually since I know you were involved in the government a bit, write down your own stuff so I can organize it. Part of y'alls problem is that you aren't in-sync with each other because of various reasons and have different ideas. To give a comparison, the NijiJP girls are the opposite because they always run stuff past each other before agreeing or they always make sure to consider the other person. This isn't to say y'all are heartless, but rather that y'all are disorganized as a whole.

To answer the travel questions, its like 45 to 90 days, assuming you aren't blown off course. That's a long time. And the raids, I forget how long it took but it was like half a year from either the island or meat mainland to reach Risu under perfect conditions. Either way, one of the main issues is that because this isn't like the Mediterranean like I think many thought when this project started, you are essentially at the mercy of the Black Fleet and the other fleets in the region, which also include the fleets of the Risu Islands, Mep, Moon, /ehe/ (another major naval power), Lusitania, and the Knights who just so happen to be located on that island chain I circled. Not good odds. The conclusion I came to was that Meat likely would raid areas to its south or closer but there would still likely be limited raids on Risu, though I doubt any raids on Moon are possible given the Black Fleet and Kobokers.
>Cant be helped. Weve been losing cohesion since our threads kept getting merc'd
yeah that is just unfortunate and is why I don't blame you guys at all.
>on the top of my head, ive helped with the conlang, cultural and religious stuffs, the government institution idea and names
Perfect, my task for you is to either organize or dump all of the cultural and religious stuff together.

i was expecting something worse. doesnt look that bad imo. turk pirates raided all the way to iceland and the norse found vinland. i do agree that with all the sea police around we'll have to limit them. but what about our whole 'cult infiltrating them to mess up their intel' gimmick? wouldnt that help a bit?

>>42825974
I found a source somewhere which calculated that a sailing vessel can do about 50 miles a day. Keep in mind this is a conservative estimate, you can get up to 100 miles but also less that 5 in a day too.
Distance Calculations:
Mainland to Island: about 2500 miles or 4000 km. By ship, this means about 50 days to the island, but could be longer.

Island to Silvanus: about 3800 miles or 6100 km. By ship, this means about 76 days to Silvanus.

Island to moon: about 5400 miles or 8800 km. By ship, this means about 108 days to Moon.

Moon to Mainland: about 3600 miles or 5800 km. By ship, this means about 72 days back home after a raid on moon.

Calculating this together, if we start at the island, it takes us 180 days if we are not stopping or evading the numerous threats to get back to your homeland. That is a lot of time and this is one of the issues with the spy network, because the information you will get might be really out of date. If we say we start in the mainland itself, its a 230 round trip assuming things went perfectly and does not account for raids, restocking supplies, evading threats, storms, bad days for wind, etc.

I hope you see the issues with this kek.

>> No.42827024

The whole loop is more like three months of travel at around 4 knots, /meat/ to Namakubi is about three weeks.
~15000 km/7km/h=2142h=89 days
~ 3700 km/7km/h=528h=22 days
Obviously raiding and resupplying would add a bit.

No, because of the logistics of intelligence in this era are very flawed. You don't have radios or anything, and things can change easily given the timespan it takes to get information, process it, and use it. You can't have Room 40 in this era for example for that reason. It's useful for close operations, but for these raids it would need to assume that nothing changes at all for it to be effective. In truth, it hurts you just as much as it helps and remember that nations like ehe and moon have deal with the Watamelons too so they are used to this stuff AND V7 helps them. It's not only the black fleet.

No, it was for sailing ships. Like I said, I am assuming the conservative estimate given all of the other factors. 4 knots is reasonable to me all things considered but you can take that method too. I just like to play it safe when calculating distance travelled in this era, especially since Trans-Atlantic voyages had the advantage of the Jet Stream.

This in particular is important to understand when it comes to trans-Atlantic. A good comparison in world is NijiJP to Phase would be likely about a month at most because they have this atlantic style wind while the Holosea really doesn't unless you are going from ggg to mhm.

They can and mhm is a good target all things considered. But the issue further north is the wind blows against you as you can see. Now, obviously the winds aren't always working this way but they are most of the time. And like I also said, there are three other reasons why this way might not be ideal.
>1. Black Fleet (well regardless they would be a problem
>2. Kanarucan Fleet (Very powerful in their own right, from my understanding they are a rival to the Black Fleet and have a large trading fleet too.)
>3. Knights of that Island right in the jet stream.

This isn't saying its impossible nor they shouldn't, nor that any lore needs changed. It is me saying that the ideal targets for meat are ggg, amelia watson, wah (well they have a big fleet too.), and places to their south.

Well you are in luck since this place exists:

Agra actually solves this issue because it is a slaving state that would have no doubt helped you guys out. Now, the infinity part is tricky since Agra fought against them, but we can also assume that relations changed over time.

As for sailing against the wind, that doesn't help you with Risu but rather against nations like mhm and ehe.

No, meaning that you don't need to explain it in depth in the main lore, but can have side pieces that explain it in depth. The main lore, remember, just needs to be consumable. You can keep it as simple as "We raided/got slaves from /risu/". How that happens can be something described in detail in a sub-doc. This can be applied to many things, and I recommend this when we get things that are too complex in general.

>harvesting said materials
I dont know if you would chop down trees or not so do you? Or do you simply acquire your wood some other way. As a rimworld player I know animals called dryads exist and one makes wood specifically. Here is the description.

>A slow, bumbling caste of dryad which specializes in wood production. Together with its Gauranlen tree, this dryad can generate a wood-like material on an ongoing basis. However, it is slow and ineffective at work or combat.

>In general, dryads are mammal-like creatures that have a symbiotic relationship with the Gauranlen tree. They reproduce together with their tree, which contains a hidden dryad queen. Dryads can morph into various specialized castes.

>prayers
I actually want to do some research into Celtic and Gaelic cultures to get some ideas before I write more on this bit, but for now just know that group prayers (usually once a day near the twilight hours, but skipping days if the shaman sees fit happens regularly) consist of a lot of chanting or singing and drums around a fire. Individual prayers are more solitary and contemplative, wherein a sapling might take a hike deeper into the forest and meditate as they try to Listen to the Will of the forest.

>general daily activities
That's going to depend on each sapling. If they have a trade they practice, theyd spend most of the day doing that on and off. If not, they will either be playing games, or gathering food for the tribe, or both at the same time.

>food production
As mentioned above, a large part of the tribe would spend their idle hours walking around the forest gathering nuts, seeds, roots, fruits, and vegetables to bring back to the village. If they come across a recently dead animal they would bring that back as food as well.

Who cares how long you waited. This is a collaborative project and you have made it clear that you couldnt care less about that. Its all just a way for you to get your loot from foreign lands while your dickriders call it “Kino, Based, best lore ever!”. If anyone else other than cunt told you that, you still wouldnt change it.

Its really embarrassing that you would even leak pisscord shit just to dunk on Cunt, who I have no love for either. My main question to you is why you feel so entitled that you will ignore others just to get your magika.

It's funny because if you look at the chuubanite doc rule 9 proves OG right. It even says that all chuubanite can at least have a mundane effect. And going into activator substances shows it can be anything. The whole doc was written to allow people to be loose with the rules. And if anyone does not agree with me then read the doc.

>9. Your chuubanite is not somehow only usable by you. Anyone who gets both a piece of YOUR chuubanite and the knowledge of how you activate it will be able to use your magic.
Yes, risuners can use the sapling’s chuubanite and its effects, but it has to be done using sapling chuubanite which is found primarily in /uuu/ soil. If they tried it with the dirt in /risu/ it wouldn’t have the sapling living forest effects, it would have the risuner magic gem effects. It is not the case that every chuubanite can do every effect. They can do a variety of effects, but they all have to revolve around the same central theme except for the mundane ones available to all, which do not include the effects being discussed here. I don’t have much of a horse in this race, but unless I missed something I don’t see why everyone’s dogpiling on cunt when all he’s trying to say is that sapling magic requires sapling chuubanite to work.
>>42840274
>>42840106
These arguments don’t really apply in this case. If this goes against how chuubanite works and Vitubia’s laws of physics as a result, then it shouldn’t be allowed. Similarly, there are some things that shouldn’t be allowed just because a writer wants it to happen if it fucks up the world being collaboratively built here. To be clear, if OG wants to take a bunch of /uuu/ chuubanite back in the form of dirt or whatever and build up some forest defenses/disguises that way, then sure. Go for it! But trying to do a sapling ritual on /risu/ chuubanite and expecting to get something resembling sapling magic out of it seems to go against how chuubanite works. If I’m misunderstanding how it works, then feel free to correct me but I don’t see how this makes any sense atm.

Nothing says two chuubanites can't have similar effects. If saplings are okay with using the risu chuubanite for that purpose, that fits within the canon. If not, they bring back some dirt, maybe spread it out like fertilizer to get a slower effect, and that's fine too. More importantly, it feels like the two parties involved would be able to figure this out without external assistance.

Well it would have to be something that covers all the effects listed in https://rentry.org/Gem-Powers for one.

I may have glossed over that when doing my reps then. Though I do still think the question about what your thread’s central theme is and how it relates to your various gem powers is still an interesting one to explore. I think you mentioned a general chaotic energy being present there before? That would explain some of the more dynamic stuff like fireballs and prismatic bombs, but not so much the healing and other defensive effects. I was also under the impression that the thread was more malaised these days? Regardless, I am looking forward to hearing what you have planned! The risu logs were a lot of fun.

Oh thats a good question. SCUM are turned into trees by forcefully running the forest's blessing/curse through them so that the saplification process takes them over faster than their bodies can adapt, thus killing them by turning all of their biological material into plant cells.
Now the Kind of tree or plant they would grow into would depend on the sapling. If they were older and their body already had an affinity toward growing a certain kind of plant material, thats what they would naturally grow into. If they were younger, or if they had no pre-established affinity, it would be up to the tribe's shaman to pick a species and guide the growth toward that. By default I think most shaman's would go with what they are used to, so they'd probably pick a kind of tree that is more common around their part of the forest.
As for smoking and flavor, I guess you'd either have to specifically ask a shaman to start catering to your particular needs when SCUM need to be put down, or start importing SCUM wood from an /uuu/ forest that already grows things like mesquite, applewood, hickory, etc.

Yeah if you check our lore saplings do eventually give into the forests' curse/blessing to transform into different kinds of Ents/Dryads depending on their affinity (picrel).

The only caveat would be if the sapling was something like an /r9k/ robot and was only crying to bait pity points in hopes of touching someone for physical pleasure. That would be considered squeeb-adjacent behavior.

Does that mean you might have more coniferous saplings in the North and more leafy saplings in the south?

Forest climates and ecosystems are more ruled by our chuubanite than the actual latitudes of each region, but since that part of the lore hasnt been fleshed out yet (holy crap I have so much on my todo now, and I should really bump that up in priority since theres an anon thats really good at topography and climate maps around), yeah, you can think about it like that.
Similarly some coastal forests might have mangrove-like saplings, and some swamp/marsh forests might have some cattail, willow, or even lilypad saplings. (cactus saplings would be cool, but I can only stretch the chuubanite magic bit so much, and there are no natural deserts in our part of the continent)

I see, neat! For some reason the lillypad saplings are really activating my imagination. Do they get a nice big flower at the right time of the year/their reproductive cycle?

Cacti are mostly a thing in North America. I like ancient redwood trees that extend to the sky.

By the time a sapling has undergone enough saplification to be able to sprout a whole flower, their body would be the thing affecting the growth more than the environment, so it would depend on the sapling.
If they felt particularly intune with their forest during a certain time of year, then they might bloom then. If they were more of a social sapling then they might bloom according to their mood or their willingness to be reproductively available.

No idea who you are but its pretty obvious that the same people only talk to each other and dont give a damn about any other topics aside from their own.

I hate to chime into meta drama, but I just wanted to make it clear that I don't actively ignore or dislike other people's stories or lore, it's just that as a nation with relatively young technological development, I prioritize looking at things that can more immediately affect my nation. So /nasa/, /who/, and /rrat/ get read first, then any visitors, currently /risu/, then everyone else false way after that.
Thats just a matter of course, because its unreasonable to expect someone to keep up with the entire planet's goings-on.
So please dont take it personally and keep writing for your oshi, your thread, and your nation.
