    Let's make a species, gentlemen.

    Here's how the game works.

    I offer a series of possible choices or request input. Respond with one of the possible choices or your own input respectively, with "dice+1d100" in your email field. The person who rolls the highest number out of the first three responses gets selected and then I state the next phase.

    So, please choose one of the following:
    Modern setting
    Fantasy setting
    Sci-fi setting

    Uplifted it is!

    Technological Level:
    Energy Age (Borderline Culture/TA level stuff)
    Gravity Age (Think around the level of Tau)
    Fusion Age (Think around Imperial stuff without the highly advanced stuff)
    Digital Age (Around now, really)
    Industrial Age (Firearms)
    Dark Age (Pre-Firearms)
    Stone Age (Easy to explain)

    If it's below Fusion Age, you can presume that either society fell apart or the species is being watched over by some benevolent higher race that uplifted it.

    Make a choice.

    You know that means that essentially, they use their bodyheat to communicate? As in, actively controlling body temperature, causing it to jump all over the place in patterns? As in, fucking red hot nautili?

    Okay, let's continue.

    LOCOMOTION:
    Crawling (the most realistic)
    Walking (as in, walking on its tentacles, yeah, pretty goofy looking)
    Gas Jetting (as in, they basically fly from location to location)
    Natural Buoyancy (as in, they naturally float and can propel themselves in a certain direction fairly slowly)
    Buoyancy + Jetting (combination of the two - capable of hovering when resting, but also capable of high speed flying when active)

    Make a choice. I can already guess what will win.

    Now, let's see. Let's make this a bit different.

    Out of the next EIGHT (8) posts, the THREE (3) highest posts will be chosen. If the same thing is chosen multiple times, then it is of higher importance to the nautilus society.

    CULTURE:
    Art (sculptures, paintings, etc)
    Capitalism (a crude form of currency
    Hedonism (sex, wine, food, excess, etc)
    Hunting (the killing of nonsentients)
    Philosophy ('what is life')
    Politics (they love fucking each other over)
    Survival (only about surviving, very little culture)
    Unity (keeping the species together)
    War (fighting their own race or other sentients)

    If you can think of something decent, add your own.

    ONE.
    OPTION.
    EACH.

    Hedonism
    Hedonism
    Religion
    Unity
    War
    Art (Music)

    In short, they are in a constant state of anarchy. Several tribes or kingdoms fight one another for control over the species. This is a contest so that only the best and the mightiest can come out on top, so that beneath the rule of the mightiest, everyone can drown in glorious blood, semen, infrared light and music.

    They're also religious. So, what is their

    RELIGION:
    Monotheism! (One True God)
    United Polytheism! (Pantheon)
    Fractured Polytheism (Several "One True Gods")
    Ancestor Worship (They praise their ancestors)
    World Worship (They praise the air they glide through)
    Basic Spiritualism (Something along the lines of Buddhism)
    Ascension (The greatest of their kind become gods in their eyes)
    COME UP WITH YOUR OWN (you guessed it)

    This is back to normal, by the way. Out of the first three posts, highest post gets chosen.

    So, combining:
    >>8507119
    >>8507123

    Every member of the species who is truly known for his might, glory and hedonism is respected and worshipped. There must be a large agreement as to who is worthy of this honour. While this glorious elder isn't a racial leader, he does, however, possess a powerful name and can call for ceasefires, celebrations and war. His death will be mourn and his name will be remembered forever, inscribed into the Tablet of Eternity. The day of his passing into beautiful unlife and godhood is celebrated with hedonism.

    Considering how many of these great, esteemed elders have died, almost every day is one of these holidays.

    The people are happy.

    Anyway, about to post next poll.

    Perhaps the Nautili did indeed develop along the path that their creators desire. However, how aware are they of those who uplifted them?

    Unaware (they think they came into existance by themselves)
    Informed and Neutral (they were informed by their uplifters and have since not cared)
    Informed and Benevolent (they were informed by their uplifters and are thankful)
    Informed and Hostile (they were informed by their uplifters and are hostile towards them)
    In process of discovery (they are about to discovery their origins)
    Neutral Discovery (they have realized that they were uplifted on their own - and don't give a shit)
    Benevolent Discovery (they have realized that they were uplifted and are thankful for it)
    Hostile Discovery (they have realized that they were uplifted and they are pissed)

    when the nautali realize that all their excess and free will may have not been free will at all their entire society turns upside down. the core concepts of being free to explore themselves (and others) in any way they want is the big tenet of their system. When they realize that it all may infact be a plan, they are shattered and very, very angry.

    Yeah, so, one day, the uplifters decided to come down and say "hey, you guys, you know that we kind of made you what you are, right? You're really kind of funny! Say, can you show off your genitals to this camera? We could use a good laugh for the folks at home!"

    The uplifted nautili made it clear that they were not pets by swarming their progenitors, draining them of their blood and having a blood-stained orgy over their corpses - with the live cameras that the uplifters brought along still running. It's a message.

    For one second, let's forget the uplifters. When the Nautilus race was still in its prime, how widespread was it?

    Still confined to its home planet
    Majority of the species confined to home planet/home system.

    System confinement it is. They barely managed to expand before the event happened.

    So, why did their species fall from grace?

    Internal war (species infighting, everyone turned on each other, nuclear war perhaps)
    Plague (hedonism got the better of them, super-aids thinned out of the species)
    Interspecies war (they fought with other species and lost - this is the result)
    Uplifter response (uplifters were not pleased, wiped the slate)
    Servant uprising (Terminator, the Matrix, whatever - robotic servants rebelled, this is the result)
    Natural Disaster (rogue planet, gigantic asteroid, etc)

    As they began to expand, they began to fall apart. Eventually, as their capacity for war grew and grew, the destruction became too great and become they could achieve true glory on the galactic stage, they pushed themselves into the dark ages.

    Everywhere it is. Junk is scattered all over the place. Some philosophers of seperate nations have deciphered the use of certain artifacts. As nations rise and fall, some of these artifacts and their use are incorporated into other nations, while in other cases, the ability to use them fades with the dead philosophers.

    Let's go back to uplifters for a moment.

    What is their state in the universe?

    Extinct (they no longer exist)
    Small (they're unimportant)
    Average (they've got a pretty large plot of space)
    Important (they're pretty big)
    The Boss (they're the bosses)

    Don't know (they've forgotten about them, completely. they've drifted out of the picture)
    Don't care (they're aware of them, just don't give a shit)
    Amused (they arrange flybys once in a while, so the activities can be observed)

    The nautiloids are a very, very niche market. Considered a failure, as a whole. There are a few rare vids of them here and there, once in a while some even visit the planet for their own amusement. Otherwise, they just don't give a shit.

    We're coming to the end folks. I'm running out of things to say.

    However, here's the important part.

    Possibly the most important part of all.

    Are you ready for it?

    Of course you are.

    For some reason or another, the jellyfish are a relatively benevolent sentient species.

    Doesn't protect them from the nautiloids' hedonism and bloodsucking, though - but they're still trying their darn best to remain peaceful.

    One last detail:

    At what stage of civilization were the Nautiloids informed of their uplifting?

    At the beginning of their uplifting.
    During their climb to the peak
    At the peak

    SUMMARY
    >> Anonymous 03/10/10(Wed)11:17 No.8508025
    The Progenitors arrived at a relatively light, low gravity world, rich with life. They saw such entertaining species there and as such, decided to upllift then, just to see what they would do with their sentience. It was an easy project. A wave of a hand, really.

    Two species came out as sentient. One of them was a relatively large and benevolent herbivore race, that mused on philosophy and theocracy as they drifted idly between algae-clouds, absorbing the nutrients into their jelly-like forms.

    The other sentient species observed their actions and said "fuck that".

    And so the strange nautiloids, with shells several feet in diameter and bodies several feet long, rose to dominance. On the soft earth, they were sluggish and slow. But when they soared through the heavens, they were graceful and majestic. Using beak, tentacle and the bodyheat that they had such magnificent control over, they subdued the prey species and drain their blood until they became lifeless.

    As they grew in number, they developed. They began to enjoy the concept of excess - being able to do whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted, because they were the masters, and fuck whoever said 'they didn't need to'. They enjoyed sex, fine blood, both fresh and fermented, dazzling shows of heat and flame and wonderful, wonderful music.

    Their culture became a rather odd one as they grew even larger. They swore to war with one another, so that whoever may win and lead a unified people would be the strongest. So, they struggled against one another yet they did so without prejudice. After all, it was just to produce the best outcome. There was no reason to involve hate in it at all. In the end, though, despite the war for unity and peace beneath a truly wonderful leader, hedonism always came first and many a ceasefire was called in order to hold tremendous celebrations.

    They respected one another and praised those who did glorious, truly hedonistic things. The finest hedonists and warlords rose to legendary status, and when all agreed that these warlords were truly great, they were cemented in the history of the nautiloids forever as gods, both before death and after it. Every day of death - or ascension - is celebrated. So many of these magnificent leaders have come to pass that almost every day is a day to celebrate - much to the appreciation of the common populace.

    Of course, however, the jellyfish and the nautiloids could not get along so well. For the nautiloids radiated brilliant heat to communicate, which would disrupt the delicate chemical balances of the jellyfish, while the jellyfish would radiate X-Rays, which would cause their shelled allies to die horrific deaths. Eventually, after almost half of the jellies were slain, it was realized that it was all accidental and instead, the nautiloids made the jellyfish a servitor race, bound to silence so that they would never kill again.

    The cephalopods rose in power. They developed firearms, then nuclear technology. By the time they were ready to enter space they were suddenly... approached by strange beings. The legends do not describe their appearance, except that their verbal words translated into a false heat that radiated their entertainment. Apparently that was all that the nautiloids existed for. To entertain. Like pets. They were not pets. These progenitors, frauds or not, were drained of their blood as an example. No one led and no one controlled their species except for the one leader who would earn the right.

    They grew further. Fusion technology was developed shortly after the encounter with the progenitors. For a short time, the entire species was united to war against them - before it fell into bickering again, as someone challenge the 'true leader' and stated that his leadership wasn't good enough. Weakened by decades of unity, no one expected the tragic war that followed. With at least half of the gas giants in the system colonized and a quarter of them being terraformed, with almost a trillion citizens, the nautiloids tore each other apart, ending the longest peace they had ever experienced.

    Every network was broken. Technology that nautiloids had grown to rely on was made useless and without the specific knowledge of how to fix it due to the lack of specialists, the system fell apart and everything became anarchy. Entire colonies ceased to exist as even regular maintainance became possible. No one knows of the fate of the terraformed gas giants. However, several tribes popped up on the homeworld, barely a million out of the original trillion. Sticking to their original philosophy, they continued to war against each other, remembering their ancestors, remembering their progenitors, remembering everything.

    But they didn't learn a single thing. THey just did what they knew - they fought one another until they had a unified leader, then that unified leader was challenged almost immediately and war came again, everything splashed with sex, heat and hedonism. The wars would force their philosophers to look for an advantage, to study the old technology and utilize it once more - and perhaps even create new tech. Through war, they would have unity. Through unity, they would have war. Through this cycle, they would ascend to the greatness that they had achieved long ago, and rise even higher. They would be truly great.

    What of the jellies? With the fall of the nautiloids, they fell as well. They spread wherever the nautiloids went, as a servant species. When the nautiloids died, they had a brief chance to obtain their freedom - and they took it. They float in clusters, constantly babbling to one another to keep away the nautiloids, remaining relatively peaceful. As long as they're not bothered, they won't bother either. Of course, that is what the majority does. A significant percentage still lives in captivity amongst the nautiloids.

    One last question, /tg/.

    This time, there are no options. Only your input. No dice rolls either. We shall decide together.

    What is the name of this glorious species we have created, the nautiloids?

    Also, name the jellies, if you wish.
