Hail Berries
>>43258
Sorry, wrong name
>>43262
Thanks Anon bro
>>43251
Yes, whoops! COPY PASTE FAIL, we are in TURN 9, going into TURN 10 RIGHT THE FUCK NOW STARTING WITH THIS VERY POST
Mire actionnn:
Investigate sailing spider and inventing small wooden boats
>>43203
hail the Grassland Tribe! hail their force! hail their gods!
>>43289
The boats were supposed to be sail boats, since we are investigating sailing spiders, also priest should probably post the turn actions.
Newbie reporting in, has anyone thought to start some sort of water tribe? Not fish people but more in tune with the waves hippies perhaps.
>>43306
All tribes have been preplanned out by me, unfortunately, because I'm kind of a control freak.
>>43299
Srry senpai
>>43282
Im helping sand because they are more technological, maybe there are a low quanty of trees or it's just plain desert with cacti, if there are trees like Joshua tree you can use the wood for various things, there are also some plant fibers in desert, not just in cacti.
>>43274
>>43293
So Culture trait, women aren't ranked on their number of duels, but rather the number of warriors they provide for the tribe (pop boom)
>>43203

Ah well, maybe another time then. Liking the story so far though!
Treeman reporting in.
On phone. Will change to laptop soon.
Cpaiming again
>>43314
Wait they need the wheel in order to make bows!!!!!
>>43318
join sand tribe we have a spot open
Any spots open?
>>43344
...no?
>>43323
Try to focus on metalworks, mighty blast furnaces to melt down ores and make the best iron, perhaps later on mighty steel and anvils to forge weapons and armors, maybe use stone for architecture.
>>43320
agree we need more warriors, we can also make a weekly tournament to select the best men to breed.
>>43344
Why?
You can just use sinew
Reporting in
>>43346
Noice.
So we focus on boats this turn.
>>43355
i join as what?
i join still.
>>43361
>Happiness Masks
Uhh...

>>43366
Were still on Bronze sadly, its gonna be a bit
>>43337
>4 regions apart
>Relying on their defenses
>Want to war us
We could just not attack you?
>>43320
I think it will be more inteligent to start developing writing and educate (both sexes) with writings. We need technology in the future, and educating everyone is the way.
Also build great houses. Privacy will encourage stressed men and woman that work all day fighting, hunting and healing to have sex and increase birth rate.
Ok, so we study water spiders in order to make better boats.
And culturally, we urge people to breed more in order to be more like glorious insects.
Alright, my happy tribesmen. My ideas for this turn:
1) Begin using the ash left over from our sacred flames to cultivate many plants
2) As a cultural action, increase birth rates by insisting that the more people are brought into life, the more happiness there will be
Thoughts?
>>43401
>Implying we're not going to create sun beam death rays using help from our two greatest allies
Sand tribe bros should we do mathematics and architecture next or fermentation and peyote harvest or a different combo of the two?
>>43314
Round ten moves!
Action: Keep training the warriors to ride the deer beasts and use their rudimentary bow and arrows on them whilst hunting
Action: Tree tribe begins creating a rudimentary language based on etches in trees. This is initially used to mark important places in the forest and directions to the village.
>>43399
Well focus on architecture, you will need it for furnaces and walls, maybe start buildings forts, houses.
You can later on use metals to make arrows and bows with the help of sand tribe fiber, you would still need feathers.
>>43428
As what i can join?
>>43425
We could also try and establish connections with the tree tribe
>>43421
Shouldnt we first make boats before making them better? Or we investigate them and replace tge spider with a boat or something idk
Tree tribe starts carving stories into their trees and bows and hieroglyphics forms!
What now Sandbros? We've got cacti farms and we've herded lizards. I suggest reseaching more advanced masonry so we can create sturdy structures and a strong wall.
>>43399
So.... Ore friends, what now? Im thinking for Action we should either improve the home base and start forting up, or try and make weapons.
Culture is up in the air
(on main comp now)
I vote for removing rocks from a designated flat area that has grass growing on it, so that we can slowly develop agriculture and increase biomass.
My cultural vote goes towards the belief that we need to put our shit in the designated rock-free areas so that it becomes softer.
>>43446
If their is less than three people you could join our tribe as whatever. The names are mostly meaningless.
After boats, what should we do?
Bows for tribal action seems like a majority vote.
I was thinking, since people have been throwing war threats recently, maybe we should gain a cultural perk? Maybe something like "Black Widow: Female spiders are usually bigger and stronger than their male counterparts, only female mires are drafted into the army"
Maybe they could get some sort of bonus attack against males, y'know because of head eating.
>>43451
Eh, I think we can just jump straight into making good boats., considering our royal overlords have shown us how.
Also. I finally made some Tree Tribe OC
>>43399
So keep going for bronze next turn?
How about some population stuff?
>>43459
But we like rock! Why would we want to remove them.
Also, I think this is kinda purposeless.... I mean we have fishers and penned goats
>>43451
Water spiders are the boats, I just supposed since we are investigating those, we could just skip the canoes. If we cant we should focus on something else.
>>43461
As you say.
>>43423
I'd agree about the ash but seeing as we live in only a brush-ridden area, unlike some of those beautifully flammable areas like the tree lands and the grass lands, we really can't start that many fires nor get that much ash.
I propose instead setting a trade route and eternal friendship with the sand tribe, it seems both our tribes are worshipers of the Sun.
I agree with you on your second point, I also believe we should reproduce as much as possible, for the soul is the greatest most incandescent fire and to give birth is the most beautiful fire and the most beautiful joy.
>>43463
You people have forgotten about bowlers and stuff. Surely thats more Spider like in the fact it traps prey in what could be silk ropes.
>>43463
Speaking of female spiders
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gkj8EH78lxE
How's that for a cultural trait?
>>43476
There are no giant spiders currently, we are trying to study the sailing spiders and imitating their techniques in our boats.
FUN GLOBAL EVENT TIME, EVERYONE STOP YOUR SHIT
EVERY 5 TURNS FROM NOW ON, THERE WILL BE FUN GLOBAL EVENT TIME, WHERE SOMETHING HAPPENS TO EVERYONE, FUCK YOU.
IN THIS FUN GLOBAL EVENT TIME, MASSIVE EARTHQUAKES ROCK THE LAND. EVERY CULTURE CAN INTERPRET THESE EARTHQUAKES DIFFERENTLY, BUT THEY ALL OPEN UP VARIOUS CHASMS TO MASSIVE UNDERGROUND RUINS, WITH REMNANTS OF PAST CIVILIZATIONS. EXPLORING THESE RUINS WILL GRANT YOU TWO RANDOM CULTURAL BOONS, BUT CONSUME YOUR CULTURE ACTION FOR THE TURN. THE DECISION IS UP TO YOU.
>>43342
I was too late. Good luck orebro
>>43463
Only girls in the army??? Idk we could just colonise the myterious red isle
>>43489
That is basically what I did. It's just the beginnings of language it doesn't move on into full hieroglyphics in just one round.
>>43481
Fermentation is key for trade with the Brush tribe though, I say research masonry and how to tan lizard hides for armour and clothing.
Where my tree bros at? I wanna ink you up.
>>43499
THE PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE WILL DRIVE US FORWARD
>>43473
it's not purposeless. By moving rocks from a designated area we can place them somewhere else so that there are more rocks close to each other.
The rock free area can help as use rocks better because it produces a better place for goats to eat and they can get bigger. Bigger goats means that we can then use them to help us break rocks and build.
>>43499
fuck it. We explore the underground ruins.
This also helps us realize that we don't need rocks EVERYWHERE.
>>43499
Can we move in down there?
>>43408
and where we supposed to write we first need some material like papyrus (from the rivers) or Parchment (from hide)
>>43499
Mires, lets exchange our tribe action for a cultural one and explore the ruins, and use the original culture action to spider boats
>>43484
We cannot even reach the sand tribe, so that is not really an option.
As for ash, we have plenty friend. We have been burning as we please for many years, and the ground is no doubt covered with it. Even if it does not produce the desired result, we still need to up our plant cultivation. It may be the only way we can get a leg up on some of these other tribes.
Mire:
Sail boats + ruins? We can get more babys boon
>>43523
Yeah, we'll explore these ruins but we'll have to make up the culture loss at some point
>>43499
Holy cow. Lets do this:
Culture: explore ruins
Action: Make strong houses with our new tools
>>43523
I got a question, what is that orange island? It looks like it has some things that can help us.
We would need desert trees (If we have) and research woodworking to make boats and get there.
>>43499
Oh SHI...
OK so I'm doing basic bark-etching language development this round and exploring these ruins.
The spirits in our forest have awakened and opened the land to show us the very heart of the earth! What spirits dwell below in the soil..
>>43544
This
>>43518
We should definitely explore the ruins if we are RP a knowledge driven civ then this is what we want.
I think we should do fermentation and then Explore we can do the stuff you suggested next turn. and knock it out all at once.
>>43550
Yea
Tree guys, we exploring the ruins, or keeping the whole cultural revolution by writing going?
>>43559
So
Culture: Explore ruins
Action: Harvest Lizard hides and tan them
>>43542
We can write in the walls or whatever. But now I think we should explore the ruins
>>43550
Yeah let's do it.
Action: Study water spiders to make really good boats.
Culture: Explore the ruins.
Or do we use our action point on the ruins as well?
>>43502
We can say we develop a scholar cast, those with few duel wins (and thus less brain damage) can win honor by being scholars
But I think we should explore the ruins and continue tool development
>>43567
yea
>>43555
agree about culture but we should develop agriculture using the tools to improve our numbers
>>43570
Fuck it both actions on ruins
next turn we can do the lizard hide and architecture next turn
>>43499
Okay yeah, we do that shit immediately.
I still vote for our other action to be the plant cultivation.
>>43566
OKAY CHAPS, FOR THIS YEAR WE SHALL EXPLORE THE RUINS WITH BOTH OUR CULTURE AND TRIBE ACTIONS. ANY OBJECTIONS?
>>43584
Nah we need the boats
>>43392
As well as the death to all those who aren't happy all the time and the constant use of a presumably sadness blocking drug?Don't tell no one
>>43547
You're right, after this many years our land is covered with ash.
Should we explore the ruins? Is the earthquake a sign that god is unhappy with something we've done or haven't been doing?
>>43566
Ok I think it's decided then. We go full underground ruins.
>>43575
Cultural evolution can wait a round I guess, how about the boon though?
>>43590
Too risky, we have lots of space for housing anyway, we can always build houses this turn anyway
>>43600
not really.
OT, this thread is moving pretty fast that it requires consistent attention.
>>43600
I'm happy with this.
>>43609
Kek
>>43581
Well hides could help, for the next action that we have we should get fibers and make ropes, i don't know about cultural.
>>43499
I think the tree tribe should interpret this action as as the nature spirits rewarding us for respecting them. We should take their reward of treasure, as it would be disrespectful not to. INTO THE CAVES!!
>>43638
Culture: Explore ruins
Action: Harvest and tan Lizard hides
>>43617
Let's explore the ruins for the boon as one action, and develop writing with the other. It would be like we learned it from the advanced civilization!
>>43638
Hey, why are you stealing my name, senpai?
>>43613
We cannot claim to know what our God means by this quake until we discover the secrets that lie in wait for us in these new ruins. It may very well lead us to more happiness. In requires investigation.
>>43463
>Delusional Mires only use women for their army.
>They all get raped by Sand and Ore bros.
>>43674
I say ruins + fermentation. We can start doing cool swag like mathematics and architecture next round. Who knows, we might even find something out about ourorigin.
>>43674
Yeah, we'll see what tech we get from the ruins and go from there, with the lizard hides we can create armour using cactus plates.
>>43664
I like it.
>>43677
Then we should harvest the ruins and use our ash for agriculture in this turn, and explore them for culture in the next.
>>43696
They've been plagued by constant bombardment of Spiderfags.
>>43709
as do I
>>43696
We use pussy protectors and we do not have only girl army
>>43668
We should really push numbers, quantity over quality since it will take us a while to catch up on tech
But I REALLY think we should explore the ruins, help us catch up on culture traits
>>43671
Screw it, i can't even have a name now.
I don't even know what my name could be.
Am I correct in saying the Bush Tribe has a slot open?
>>43714
That depends, do ruin actions have to be taken this turn only?
>>43696
>Sandfag tries to rape spider warrior
>Gets wrapped in silk and loses his head
>>43708
Hug people to death with cactus's I like it
>>43734
I don't think so, but I think we should try to get a boon as fast as we can at this rate.
>>43668
agriculture is a great simbol of civilization but i like the idea of intellectual caste. it must be selected from de children also be to both genders to procreate between them.
>>43713
Maybe Godly sand creatures are being released?
>>43752
>implying fags would rape girls
>>43725
ruins are out of discussion, i agreed with that.
>>43751
Cultivate something addictive. Like an opiate. Get people hooked. Then you have incredible amounts of power over them.
>>43763
Or maybe its those orefags trying to destroy your land you should declare war on them
>>43570
Damn, Sand Tribesman from the second half of last thread here, missed my opening...
Just shouting from the sidelines, but ideas we were considering in the last thread:
>Mathematical/mechanics education with the aim of getting better at building/designing shit.
>Make glass with our sand, and fire from Ore-bros. Will hopefully give us a fire source of our own in the bright sun. (Possibly a good gift for Brush in the future
>Bake clay into bricks, for building walls, houses, forts in future.
>Further encouraging reproduction as an opportunity to spread knowledge, and to gain new minds with new ideas.
>Fermenting cactus nectar to allow inebriated philosophy/as a social thing/for occasions.
>Formalise a mutual defence agreement with Ore-bros.
I also think that considering we've made pipes, and Brush are all about dat kush, and we both love the sun, they've got potential to bro up with us.
>>43763
We have no gods
Maybe next trait is that all people who believe in Spirits and gods are seen as simple
>>43735
>Creates spider centaur abomination
>>43776
Alright so
Culture : Explore ruins
Action : Improve agriculture
I agree with you warrior, beig the Gradsplains tribe, we should push for big agriculture
>>43763
OR MAYBE AMAZING GOLEMS OF TECHNOLOGY!
>>43725
so this:
Culture: explore ruins
Action: make better tools and weapons OR get better at agriculture
I say tools because agriculture will be even better once we get better tools
Richard, I must know. Is this the only turn that we'll have to take ruin actions?
>>43796
Going on the cultural offense with us?
For richard mire:
Make sailboats by investigating sailng spiders
And exploring the ruins
>>43806
OR A MIX OF THE TWO
>>43819
I still vote agriculture for now king, we should get that pop boon as soon as possible, then upgrade it
>>43823
Do you guys have a spot open?
>>43823
Yes. The ruins will lose their allure and lustre after a year, although more could happen to them in later GLOBAL EVENTS.
>>43784
>already have bricks
>Sexually promiscuous to encourage new minds and ideas
>Going to learn how to ferment soon
>In the works of formalizing defense pact
>getting both math and official architecture soon
>also trying to get glass from ore bros eventually (trying to rationalize us melting sand)
Thanks for the reminder though
Let me guess, no openings in any tribes?
Hey Tree Bros, how do you want to run this, with the aim of stopping all this backandforth when deciding our turns actions. Do you want a vote, a leader who takes suggestions, how do you want to run this shindig between us 3?
>>43819
agriculture first too. also we can use that to do mud bricks and build great buildings
>>43858
We are a very free people.
Democracy is the only option.
>>43841
want to just rush the ruins if they lose their value after a year
>>43858
well I'm not a good leader, I have no ideas
>>43847
You could try harvesting dead scorpions's exoskeleton and venom to use as armor and be applied on weaponry respectively.
>>43844
Maybe we shouldn't live there right away then... Guys?
>>43876
I like how you think my royal guard
>>43895
Ohh, poisoned weapons, we were talking about that idea but with blowdarts.
>>43898
We could glean their building style, learn from it and make it ours.
>>43836
This
Also other tribes who have decided should start summaring
>>43871
Great! :)
>>43916
Like the idea of scorpion armour, maybe we could tame them and trade them with the Mires, Scorpions are arachnids after all
>>43889
should we just drop both actions on the ruins if they only last a year or stay true blue?
>>43925
I say we just take stuff up. If it's still safe next year we can go live there.
>>43871
Also, I agree we get as much from the ruins as we can.
>>43721
>implying pussy protectors can stop a war boner.
>>43947
Nah we will be so tech advanced that we can genetically engineer them
>>43847
Glad you got it covered, just wanted to make sure nothing was forgotten.
>Experiment with wood from inside large cacti.
>Search for new flora/fauna in the region (I can't help but feel if we looked around we'd find more than just cacti and lizards).
>By some combination of cactus wood, clay, waxy waterproof cactus skins, and the odd bit of metal, experiment with boats.
And as a wild card suggestion:
>Become inspired by the earthquake fissures and our Ore-bros, and try digging? There's got to be something interesting in the sand... Oil? Minerals? New creatures?
>>43944
I wanted to move in, but OP made me worried.
>>43944
Yeah, we should probably increase the speed on this shit. We're 200 replies in this thread and we haven't passed a turn yet.
>>43963
Dude their pussy protectors are actual turantulas
>>43858
I've been posting for tree tribe since the beggining. I think we should talk it over but I've been psuedo-leading the tribe since the start.
When is the next turn?
>>43985
Lol your id sounds like mom y no love
>>43985
Well, I'm down to swear allegiance to you. I'll make suggestions, but ultimately, the decision is up to you! Lead us well, Shaman!
>>43968
>Become inspired by the earthquake fissures and our Ore-bros, and try digging? There's got to be something interesting in the sand... Oil? Minerals? New creatures?
Not a bad idea
>Search for new flora/fauna in the region (I can't help but feel if we looked around we'd find more than just cacti and lizards).
>By some combination of cactus wood, clay, waxy waterproof cactus skins, and the odd bit of metal, experiment with boats.
I also like both of these
Thanks anon
>>43967
>Genetically Engineered
Genetically Engineered Scorpiongirls?
>>43982
Harvest their pussy protectors and keep them as hostages.
>>43985
Can you claim this turn's action then? This threads are really slow and if we keep up like this we will have to wait for thread 2 to die before we can start our next turn
Any slots ?
Damn, I'm late..
>>44027
Sadly no currently I dont think, my Ore friend. More advice is always welcome though
Give me your turn summaries, folks! This turn will take a bit more time because of all the dice rolling I have to do here in meatspace to get your random shit.
>>43982
Mire women literally have bugs in their vaginas. Well at least maybe the Treefags will think twice before eating that.
>>44004
No worries. I can't abandon my sand-bros, even if I don't have a formalised role in the tribe.
As a meta-comment, Richard has made these threads so popular I can't help but imagine these becoming one turn/thread in the near future, kek.
>>44041
You should keep each turn update in an imgur album for each turn, so you don't require five posts for each update.
>>44041
Action: Make good quality boats by impersonating water spiders.
Culture: Explore the ruins.
>>44041
>For richard mire:
>Make sailboats by investigating sailng spiders
>And exploring the ruins
>>44041
Richard, are there trees like the joshua in the desert or just plants and cacti?
>>44041
both actions/culture on ruins.
Also could each turn be set as about 10 minutes to discuss amongst our tribe, as opposed to what it is this thread atm?
>>44041
The Brush Tribe needs to spend both actions searching the ruins. They wish to discover the will of God that led them to us.
>>44041
Both Culture and Tribe go to the depths, to seek what lies below
>>44054
That's... A good idea, actually. Is there an image size limit for imgur?
I think we should look into finding a steady supply of food. What kind of animals live in the brush?
>>44041
Grass people:
>CULTURE: Explore the ruins
>ACTION: Invest in agriculture
>>44069
I don't believe so.
You should make an account so we can quickly look at each turn album.
>>44073
Stoned gay pandas i guess
>>44073
None have lived long enough to have names, nor do they deserve to.
>>44073
We have been roasting and eating animals as we please so far.
>>44034
Well would my vote atleast count ?
>>44041
Trait Figuring out fermenting
Action explore the ruins
>>44006
Psh I was single handedly running tree tribe at the beginning beeyotch it just wasn't formalized till later in the thread.
>>44041
Ok formal actions
We are going to go explore the ruins and get the boon.
>>44147
And action we are going to continue to train the warriors to ride the deer
>>44084
Plz no the mire tribe is bad enough we don't need scorpion girls be synonymous with sand tribe.
OP how do you plan on working out direct confrontations?
Are you going to personally weight in the positives and nengatives of each tribe and decide or are the dice gods going to decide?
Or maybe a mix of the 2 where relevant factors give more dice to each tribe ?
>>44124
Tell you what. I'm going to bed soon so you might as well take my spot now. Sounds like you want to do the ore tribe well.
>>44189
What are you grass niggers gonna write on
>>44204
the history of your fall
>>44204
Grass
So we are waiting for the turn to be made right?>>44204
papyrus or something. Savanahs have cool plants.
I cant wait to start building farms.
New official mire smiley >::_::
>>44204
Your wide open ass
>>44211
>this is what grassfags actually believe
>>44211
My king perhaps we should be less aggressive with the sand niggers, they do not follow our ways, and would rather write harsh words than battle for the flory of Berry
Turns finished right? We just gotta wait for our richy boy
>>44187
I think to be fair, in one of the earlier threads a few people got excited about monster girls, and everybody just cringed out a bit. Not hating on you Sand-bro, just explaining/warning ya.
Yeah I think everyone reported in their turn
>>44230
Yep, working on it!
>>44256
So what happens when everyone in a tribe dies?
>>44229
Yeah. You are right. Lets make friends with the spider dudes. Those seem pretty cool. Also the smiley guys.
>>44220
>>44097
So.... what do you think about grass?
>>44277
Presumably extinction or the land gets conquered.
I'm gonna go sleep after we find out what the ruins hold, I'll be back on in the morning. Try not to get wiped out
>>44278
It burns pretty well.
>>44278
You worship false gods. Your happiness is but an illusion.
>>44278
Even the smallest blades of grass are part of great wildfires, if there was no grass, the great trees might not ignite as quickly and beautifully.
