Well /tg/,
The love of my life left me today. I haven't run a CIV thread in 2 years. I'm going to turn all of my despair into the greatest story game you've ever fucking played.
Choose one of the races in the picture or listed below:
Insectoid

Let's see what happens
>>46846599
Desert, sound fitting
>>46846642
>>46846690
One for boreal forresta and one for desert. We need a tie breaker.
>>46846599
mountains seems better
i want to see how does one survive outside his natural habitats
Boreal forest!
>>46846744
Triple tie! Mountain pictures were the captcha
>>46846792
Roll for it if no one else votes

Boreal forest it is
A clan of 100 large omnipedal insectoids find themselves in the damp greenery of a dense boreal forest. The brown pine needles underneath your feet crunch and shoosh as antennae browse the air this way and that. What is the first thing you do?
1. Discuss leadership
2. Begin exploring
3. Inspect yourselves
4. Other
>>46846892
3. Inspect yourselves
What bugs are we?
>>46846892
set up camp
(or whatever insectoids would do)
>>46846892
>omnipedal
Yessssss.
3. Inspect ourselves. We must ascertain our own suitableness for this environment before we explore, and squabbling over our hierarchy would make us no better than the filthy vertebrates.
I hope this is Marc.

Upon extensive inspection, you find each member has six long legs with 3 extremities at their ends, a dark green body and strong mandibles. Your six legs allow you to assume diverse positions and many of the members seem to be doing this for fun, scuttling under anything over the ground, balancing behind trees, lying still in dark green foliage. As insects, camp is a more subjective term. Anywhere can do so long as you can fit yourself under it. You find a lot members of the clan do not like the occasional beams of light that come with breaks in the dark clouds, while others are strangly drawn to them. Your exoskeletons are tough in some spots and soft in others as one of your clan illustrates by falling from a tree and cracking. It seems to be quite immobilized.
What do you do?
1. Abandon it and explore
2. Explore for a way to treat his injury
3. Leadership
4. Other
>>46846991
I'm not marc, sorry anon. I met that duck in real life, though.
>>46847116
>2. Explore for a way to treat his injury
>>46847116
We should treat our cracked insectoid. Maybe these trees have sap that could be used as a carapace sealant if heated appropriately?
>>46847116
We need to help our clan member, to keep up team moral.
>>46847282
>>46847283
You may be hideous insects, but you're not heartless. And a clan that stays intact and works together is a clan that survives. It is decided that you will search for a way to treat the crack. The clan spreads out and surveys the area. There is also some talk of sending a smaller group west to what seems to be a large body of water that was spotted from on top of the trees.
What do you do?
1. Send them
2. Focus all resources on what is close by
>>46847395
Focus on what's close by. We can't afford to lose any more insects until we know how to treat our own wounds.
>>46847395
>2. Focus all resources on what is close by
Half orc
my back story is i'm a rape baby.
>>46847457
>>46847511
The decision is made for conservative action. While the injured party is left in his state, the clan searches through the forest for anything that might help him. After hours of searching, sap from three different trees is put forth, as well as the milk of one flower. Two of the trees have different shaped leaves and the third contains needles, though it is not a pine. The flower is yellow with pointed petals.
What do you want to do?
1. Apply one to the crack
2. Experiment with them
3. Apply all to crack at once
4. Other
>>46847660
REEEEEEEE GET OUT VERTEBRATE
>>46847715
Experiment with them. We're trying to treat the injured bug, not encase it in amber.
>>46847715
>3. Apply all to crack at once
This will surely end well
>>46847715
>Apply all to crack at once
just like my japanese animes
>>46847749
>>46847748
>>46847741
>>46847740
>>46847737
An experiment is decided and a member of clan volunteers herself (you can tell it's a her by the lighter green hue of her exoskeleton) as a subject.
Which iten do we test first?
1. A light brown caked on to the tree it was found. It seems plentiful and flexible.
2. A dark dark blue sap that seems to be more viscous than the others
3. A white sap that is thin
4. The green milk of the flower
>>46847847
every other choice was done by taking the first repliers choice, you pussied out OP
it should have been number 3
The experiments will be a couple quick choices, I won't make you go through them all individually unless you guys want that
>>46847847
Let's try the dark blue sap. It's most viscous, so most promising as a sealant.
>>46847847
don't put poop on his crack
do number 4
>>46847876
This would have come with consequences. It was actually a tie, but the last vote for 3 didn't come quick enough.
>>46847890
I vote this because science.
unless science doesn't apply in your fantasy setting.
what are the laws of physics in your world op?
>>46847847
>4. The green milk of the flower
>>46847928
Physics are subject to fancy, get creative
>>46847919
>>46847898
>>46847890
>>46847883
The dark blue sap is applied to one of her extremities. It hardens quickly and consistently, to the point at which it is not rellly flexible over joints and she cannot bend her leg. There does not seem to be any sort of effect otherwise. This will certainly help old Crack and is applied to his injury while he rests. The female volunteer also finds that she can swing her extremity against any tree and not only prevent injury, but make a dent in it as well.
What about the other materials?
1. Test them all at once
2. Individually (and, if so, which one? Refer to last question)

>>46848099
test the green milk form the flower on a small rodent in the woods.
i'm guessing it's poison
we should go exploring with our insect platoon
If these are anything like real earth plants, that white sap is almost guaranteed to be poisonous as fuck. Let's experiment with using the blue sap to harden parts of the carapace that don't have joints, and to attach the flexible light brown substance as a protective padding over the thorax and abdomen.
>>46848135
Nice
>>46848155 this is feasable
>>46848205 we will
>>46848206 they are loosely based on real plants but I'll never tell
There seems to be some disagreement. You guys should talk about it. I'll just be here getting drunk
>>46848272
"BRRV CLICK CLICK, THE BLUE SAP CAN HARDEN US AGAINST DANGER. WE MUST UTILIZE IT TO SECURE THE EXISTENCE OF OUR PEOPLE AND A FUTURE FOR INSECT LARVAE."
>>46848206
>>46848205
>>46848155
I agree with all these courses of action.
test the white and green stuff on rodents
ARMOUR UP with blue and brown sap
then go exploring
also heal that one "guy"
>>46848322
BZZZ RAR RAR WHERE IS THE QUEEN? I REQUIRE FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS. BUZZ BUZZ
time to make pizza
>>46848331
The one guy is healing already
>>46848206
>>46848205
>>46848155
So then, we're hardening up with the blue sap and brown sap and looking for rodents to experiement on?
>>46848376
I'm doing this whole thing Mobil
>>46848399
are you a poorfag or are you traveling?
>>46848379
yes do that
are we the bugs hiveminded and telepathic?
>>46848442
Chemical/scent based like ants
More blue and amber sap is collected, but there is only enough to in the mean time to cover about 1/10th of our clan. You find that they actually fit quite snuggly on the sensitive spots of your bodies. However, the blue on your bodies sticks out in the green flora.
What do?
1. Send these ten out for rodents
2. Send additional members to boost chances of success
OP makes the decisions based off of votes so be sure to respond
>>46848349
BRBRZZ VZZ VZZ WE MUST SECURE THE EXISTENCE OF OUR PEOPLE AND A FUTURE FOR INSECT LARVAE BEFORE WE DEVELOP OUR QUEEN. CLIK
>>46848497
just send the ten, the main group needs to stay strong.
>>46848497
1. They are our elite warriors!
>>46848511
BURRRZZZZ CLICK SHOULD WE EVEN HAVE A QUEEN AND DISRUPT OUR PROLETARIAN PARADISE?
>>46848549
>>46848548
>>46848543
>>46848531
The ten are sent out to forage for rodents. What should we do in the mean time?
1.Explore west
2. Explore east
3. Explore south
4. Explore north
5.Stay put
6. Other
>>46848612
stay put so they can find us and we don't lose our best troops
>>46848549
BRBRBRBRBBLUB YOU HAVE CONVINCED ME. WE MUST HAVE AN EGALITARIAN SOCIETY SO AS TO DIFFUSE BREEDING DUTIES AND AVERT POTENTIAL FUTURE CATASTROPHE. BZZZZ NO QUEENS NO MASTERS
>>46848671
YYIIZZZBRRZZ CLICK YOU ARE BOTH IDEALISTIC FOOLS WITHOUT LEADERSHIP NOTHING WILL GET DONE AND WE WILL FALL APART, WE MUST MAKE THE INDIVIDUAL THE FOCUS OF OUR TRIBE AND PROMOTE CAPITALISM BUZZ BUZZ
>>46848376
pizza is done
>>46848626
>>46848671
>>46848709
The clan stays put and awaits the arrival of the brave hunters. Hours pass before a single champion returns hobbling on his only remaining two legs. He has burn marks on his body and the nubs of his former legs. The burn marks are located in the spots he had smeared the amber sap. He says soon after it turned corrosive and burned through him, that it still burns through him and that the pain is unbearable. And that the others he was with are all dead. He begs that the clan mercifully kills him.
Do you grant his wish?
>>46848763
BBRRRZZZ THIS IS A TRAVESTY
WE MUST BAND TOGETHER TO SECURE THE EXISTENCE OF OUR PEOPLE AND A FUTURE FOR INSECT LARVAE AND BECOME GREAT. WHEN WE ARE POWERFUL WE MUST DESTROY THIS WRETCHED FOREST AND BUILD MONOLITHIC WOODEN STRUCTURES.
GRANT HIS WISH. HIS INJURIES ARE INCOMPATIBLE WITH LIFE.
>>46848763
lol shit.
no lets wipe the sap off him with leaves and make him a "war" hero
at this rate we are all going to be dead really quick
>>46848810
BUZZ WRRE
NO WE SHOULD SAVE HIM WE ARE ALREADY LOW ON NUMBERS WE NEED ALL THE HELP AND INSECTS WE CAN GET
THERE IS NO DISHONOR IN GETTING INJURED SERVING THE CLAN
>>46848709
It just works
>>46848829
BZZZ PERHAPS. I DO NOT BELIEVE HE CAN BE SAVED. MAYBE ONE OF THE OTHER SAPS WE HAVE COLLECTED WILL NEUTRALIZE THE AMBER SAP.
WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT IS THAT THIS ABOMINATION GO NOT UNPUNISHED. THE PLANTS AND ANIMALS OF THIS BOREAL FOREST MUST BE DOMESTICATED AND THEN THIS ECOSYSTEM MUST BE SYSTEMATICALLY DISMANTLED AND EXPLOITED. BRRRRR
THEY WILL RUE THE DAY BZZZ
>>46848763
Time to test the healing properties of the other items!
>>46848810
>>46848811
>>46848829
Some of the more pragmatic members of the tribe wipe down his wounds with leaves and, though the sap burns through them, enough of it is collected to keep War Hero from dying. He will just and up an invalid, born in the 4th of July.
What do we do with the bodies of our explorers?
1. Leave them
2. Bury them
3. Scavenge them
>>46848890
BZZCLICK CLIK RRRRR
WE SHOULD INVENT AN EGALITARIAN FORM OF CAPITALISM AND USE IT TO CREATE AN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY AND DESTROY THE FOREST WITH OUR MACHINES!
>>46848892
The white sap does seem to help the healing process along. The green milk does not do anything for healing, but War Hero does become more passive after he swallows a little. Good thinking, anon.
>>46848893
BZZ SCAVENGE THE BODIES. WE MUST HONOR THE DEAD.
>>46848893
scavenge them carefully not to get burned, then burn them and THE WHOLE FUCKING FOREST TO MAKE WAY FOR GLORIOUS INDUSTRIAL INSECT EMPIRE
>>46848910
BRRRZZRRRR CLICK CLICK
YES. I CONCUR. WE MUST REPLACE OUR WEAK HANDS OF CHITIN WITH HANDS OF STEEL. THE SACRIFICE OF OUR CLAN WILL ECHO THROUGHOUT ETERNITY. BRRRRRR
>>46848924
>>46848893
>war hero
>got fucked up by sap that was experimented on him with by the other clan bugs
>>46848972
we like to call him war hero for reasons
>>46848893
3. Scavenge! Waste not, want not!
>>46848950
BZZ CLICK NO, WE MUST BIDE OUR TIME. WE MUST DISMANTLE THIS FOREST AND EXPLOIT THE PRECIOUS RESOURCES IT CONTAINS. IF WE BURN IT NOW WE WILL ONLY RENEW IT AND PROMOTE FUTURE GROWTH.
>>46849060
CLICK WRRR VZZZ
SHIT YOU'RE RIGHT
WE MUST CLEAR CUT THE FOREST FOR LUMBER AND FUEL
>>46848929
>>46848950
>>46848967
>>46848972
>>46848986
>>46848989
The bodies are scavenged and you find that the blue shells make good shields. In all, there are 16 buckler shields.
The bodies are respected and buried. What do now? There's lots of white sap everywhere and more blue sap to the north, so says a scout.
1. Go to the lake
2. Explore north
3. East
4. West
5. Other
>>46848893
Scavenge their bodies, the chitin plates will act as armor or building materials.
>>46849100
go to the lake
>>46849100
5. Other: Try to refine the corrosive sap into a chemical weapon, bombardier-beetle style
>>46849100
1. The lake! Securing a source of water is important!
>>46849082
WRRR. YES. WE MUST HAVE LUMBER AND FUEL. WE WILL BUILD MACHINES. WE WILL BUILD CITIES IN A DAY. BRR WE WILL BUILD TOWERS TO THE HEAVENS. WE WILL BE HEROES BRRZZZ.
>>46849100
BRRR COALESCE A PARTY TO VISIT THE LAKE. WE MUST SECURE FRESH WATER AND EDIBLE PROTEIN BRRR
>>46849100
I think we should go to the lake and set up a permanent base of operations and a village, then we should go collect more blue sap for armor.
I don't know when but we should also turn the corrosive amber sap into a weapon somehow
>>46846353
I'm sorry to hear you lost your right hand OP.
>>46849166 (You)
>>46849150
>>46849134
>>46849126
>>46849115
>>46849113
The party decides to move to the lake in hopes if finding a suitable area to settle down. The shore is covered in high grass, excellent for hiding. Off in the water, you see lots of movement, larger disturbances than fish give off. What do you do?
1. Investigate
2. Leave it for now
>>46849210
Leave it. We are not yet the acid-spraying tanks our alchemists will make us into
How do the insects reproduce?
>>46849223
I like how you think anon.
>>46849223
but then where can we settle and have water?
>>46849262
We can gather water in cupped leaves or the chitin Bucklers as we construct hidden shelters in the grass?
>>46849210
1. Investigate!
>>46849240
All I can say is that it's very, very sexy
I'm sorry anons. She's talking to me and I'm a hopeful wretch. We can continue the thread tomorrow at 10pm eastern time.
Thanks for indulging a sad old man. I hope to see you tomorrow. I have big plans for this story.
>>46849292
Aww. I'd offer to take over, but if ya got plans, no worries.
Go get her boyo
>>46849280
the grass is too close to the water with the sea monsters
>>46849292
okay see you then
what will the op pic and post be?
>>46849292
Shit. This thread fucking rocks. You need to come back in the AM, OP. There's an industrial insect empire to be built. We still need to secure the existence of our people and a future for insect larvae. bzz.
>>46849337
Woven structures in the grass, reinforced with any new blue sap, would be hidden from whatever's in the water as well as a little stronger than just a debris fort.
>>46849321
>>46849337
>>46849570
Thank you. Thread picture will be the same as the one for this thread. I don't think she's giving me a chance but she's being sweet.
>>46849795
That's good, at least. Don't sweat it too much, man. Keep it amiable and stay friends, and then give it time and see where it goes. Good luck, man.
