Keeping this on the front page while people realise it's actually up... I shouldn't have left a three-day gap between the threads.

Before I forget, the previous thread is archived here: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/20277173/

If no-body responds by 5:30 Eastern Standard Time, I'm closing the thread. I'm willing to keep this going. I had people requesting that this game go on a while and I'm prepared to go as long as it's wanted. Of course, if no-one responds, I can'd run the game.

Don't go OP!

A, downstream towards the smoke.

A response! Anon, you have no idea how much I love you right now (no homo).

Now I actually see a player, let's wait for the rest. I wish people would listen when I say 4:30 EST on Tuesday though.

Civ Quest is back! SQUEE!

We should probably send some scouts to look into the source of the smoke. Option A, I CHOOSE YOU!

>>20319765
Players never seem to be on time. At least, not when I'm DMing. Get no respect.

>>20319781
God, tell me about it. But! This isn't Bitch-about-players Quest! This is Civilization Quest! Hopefully, more folks will show up as we play.

God DAYM it's the civ game! I was so heartbroken when the last one died away! You're a hero Britfag for keeping this up!

But anyway, seconding this >>20319738

Your scouts set off downstream, periodically climbing trees to gain an impression of the smoke's direction. Soon, they reach the spot and it's hard to say who is more surprised; the scouts, or the village they stumble into! The people there look much like you, but speak a strange language your scouts cannot make any sense of. Although not hostile, the strangers did not do anything in particular to make your scouts welcome and your men left the same day, hurrying back to the tribe, to report the strange discovery.

The news that you are not alone in the world has sparked a great deal of discussion among your people. Some are overjoyed, others council caution; after all, what more dangerous predator is there than another human?

>>20319945
Aww, thanks anon! That makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Keep in mind, this is NOT the original game. In order to attract new players, I elected to start over from scratch. Besides, I had none of the old notes and this gives me an excuse to use my mapping software.

>>20319979
Lets go collect some clay. I want to upgrade our homes to brick buildings and maybe work on making a wall.

>>20319979
We may want to ally with this other group, although this won't happen overnight. I propose we get our wise ones researching agriculture in some fashion, that we may produce a surplus of food. This would ward off starvation, allow us an excess of supplies for further experimentation, and give us something to trade with. E all the way.

Im game!. I also plump for Option A ,

Is it possible to send them well armed (Flint Knives , the best archer in our clan , etc) , and with a couple of small gifts? Nothing fancy , perhaps a few bone trinkets.

Yaaay!
Sorry I'm late OP :)

I support option B
Let's hunt!

>>20319979

Hmm I'd say E) try to research some sort of rafts or punts for easier fishing and maybe for exploration in the future.Even though with just spears one can only fish from shallow places the punts/rafts should open more places to fish from.

There's too many disparate options this time around. When there's this many differing opinions, I can't just roll for it. Until a majority consensus can be achieved, the next turn won't take place.

I'm >>20320054 and I'll change my vote to >>20320063.

And I change my vote to >>20320150 (E, boats)
Fishing ftw

Your wise ones have little to work with, however they believe that it may be possible to tame the fruits of the wild. Your people have ever moved from place to place, never stopping to observe the way plants grow. Seeing seedlings from last year sprouting now however has given your wise one's the idea. Sadly, they cannot test or act upon this thought without seeds to plant!

Btw, a suggestion to fellow anons:
Maybe we all could adopt temporary trips for the duration of these games?
It would probably be easier for OP to count the votes then

>>20320331
Explore east. Lets look for berry bushes and flowering trees and such.

>>20320320
Ach, just a little too late, I'm afraid. Next turn is at 6PM EST and every 15 minutes thereafter (20, if there's not a lot of response all at once).

>>20320331
Still E, research boats
Let's overload the elders' brains!

>>20320356
We need timbers before we research boats.

>>20320343
Your scouts have already located flowering fruit trees and a bramble patch earlier this year. Further 'east' is currently subjective, until you research a way to navigate; previously, all your people did was follow the herds.

>>20320378
You live in a forest, so basic timber is easily available. Downstream, there is a stand of tall trees that would make for exceptional timber.

>>20320426
Oh, in that case gather fruits and berries, improves our food and the discarded cores/seeds will give our elders something to work with.

>>20320378

Ack! So we don't have any spare stuff even just for research?

If we do then I'll still go with E) for primitive watercrafts.

Perhaps a scouting trip to the berry bushes for seeds?

rolled 5 = 5

From what I can count, the votes are split between a trip to the fruit trees for fruit and seeds, or researching rafts and primative boats. It's rolling time!

1-3 Fruit gathering
4-6 Boat research

The trees around us seem sturdy enough. We could probably finagle some sort of shelter out of them.
E- Research log cabins or something along those lines.

rolled 1 = 1

>>20320515
Your tribe council debates sending a group of scouts out to gather fruit from the trees and bushes nearby, but eventually agree that it is still too early in the year for such things. Instead, they focus on a thought one of the tribe had, while watching sticks and leaves float down the river. After some experimentation and a lot of unplanned baths, your tribe manages to assemble some rudimentry rafts! Your people are already talking about using them to fish with and how much easier they will make travel up and downriver, when pushed by long poles.

Chuddington's vote counted for this turn

CORRECTION
The weather is not as stated. That field should read as follows,
"The days are starting to get colder and at night, there is a chill in the air"

EVENT
The river is once again thick with fish! The salmon have begun their migration upstream!

>>20320560
God, one action a turn is so limiting. Can we have a cultural event and say its a festival for the fertility god? Need some babies up in this bitch.

Actually, we probably want to get an excess of food first, and I want to upgrade our huts to something more... well, not a hut. Lets go collect some clay, which we can use to make bricks, and then collect some timber, to use for roofs, and then research firing clay bricks, and building houses... we'll probably need more food at some point during this, so it might be beneficial to get agriculture first.

Anyway, lets go get some fruits and seeds and berries. If they haven't ripened by the fall then they're not worth it.

>>20320595
C) FISH. WITH RAFTS. FOR GREAT JUSTICE.

>>20320595
Catch those fuckers.
D)

>>20320595
c- everyone goes fishing!

>>20320645
How is it D? It's C!

D) Gather resources.

Perhaps in the spring we can create fish traps so that we can accumulate food whilst doing other things?

Your rafts were finished just in time for the salmon run! Your fishers bring in the greatest haul you have get seen, smoking the fish over fires to prepare it for the winter.

Cultural events can be whatsoever the tribe wants them to be. It is worth noting however that your tribe currently does not believe in any kind of supernatural being; it's just not something they have considered yet.

F)
Hold a cultural festival to the Goddess of Fish, Fertility and Fucking
As the water is ripe with fish, so will our tribe become ripe with children soon

>>20320726
Oh. Well, then the same thing, just without a goddess.

A completely atheist midsummer festival of fish and fucking.

Also OP, you seem to have to G)'s in the option list

>>20320777
Oops! Could have sworn I fixed that. Waiting on more votes.

G)
Make rape a socially normal thing that is accepted by all and is not punishable.

>>20320813
If I had my reaction images on this computer you would be looking at a thoroughly disappointed .gif right now.

F- We should have a morale-boosting feast to celebrate our good fortune. Perhaps some babies will come of it down the road.

>>20320813

I say as a ritual event , we should stone this guy.

Anyway , my option is also F) Festival of Fishing and Frivolity.

>>20320866
>I say as a ritual event , we should stone this guy.
Well, I say it may be a part of the festival ceremonies

Ignoring the stoning. For some reason, 4chan doesn't want to let me do anything right now. Regardless, ignore the troll.

To celebrate the bumper fish harvest, your tribe holds a celebration, eating and partying well into the night. Everyone forgets their worries for a few days to just kick back, relax and (given the tribe's urging) make some babies.

Well, most of the fruit has probably gone rotten and fallen off the trees, so lets go pull apart the over ripe and rotten fruit for it's seeds in the fruit glade.

B) Hunt! We need more hides

Any more votes to be registered this turn? If not, I'll go ahead and roll it off.

As winter seems to be getting closer I feel we should look into researching some better protected houses. Either out of wood (if the local wood can be used instead of tall logs / use rafts to faster get tall wood down the stream?) or out of clay(bricks).
Looking into agriculture this late into the year seems pointless.
Maybe stocking up on firewood?

So i guess
D) gathering firewood (or wood/clay for research)
or
E) researching clay / wood huts

I'm >>20321003 and I'll change my vote to second >>20321064.

B) Hunt. Need skins for the winter.

WE can use the colder months to research

>>20321027
I would even agree with this, if we are able to build hide tents. Anything to protect from frost.

I'm this guy btw
>>20321064

Holy shit, forgot all about this. I'm here, now.

>>20320973
E- Research buildings made out of something other than hide. Perhaps we could dig some pits in the ground with log walls around the edges(with gaps for doorways). The roofs could be made from timber, bark, and hide, and the walls could be reinforced with the dirt from the pits.

It should be noted that, in the interests of balance, you could still have gathered fruit even until the last month of fall. Too late for that now though. Votes tallied. Preparing turn report.

Your wise ones consider the tents your people currently live in to be insuficient, especially with winter closing. After a long debate, they set to work and eventually have a plan to present to the village. Pits are dug into the earth and wood used to form frames, over which are hung hides, tree branches and dried leaves. The new house is warmer and less drafty than the tents, although great care has to be taken to keep the interior clean.

Just as last year, the winter has brought the wolves out to hunt and their howling has the whole village on edge. Many think that the traps last year will not be enough this time, although others dismiss such claims, stating that nothing has changed. What will the tribe do?

B) Bank the fires high and set a watch

Have the wolves been also celebrating a fertility festival?

Are we able to do something else after dealing with the random event or does it consume our action point (unless we ignore it)?

D, gather clay for crafting

B) have several braves take it in turns to watch the boundaries , and to be ready with torches and spears in the event that the wolves get desperate enougth to stalk human prey

>>20321318
Dealing with random events does not consume action points, no. Sometimes, your actions may trigger a random event however, or how you deal with an event may lead to a 'Quest Chain' that can lead to great rewards! ...Or great disaster.

Your tribe banks the fires high and sets a watch around the village, your hunters armed with sharp, flint-tipped spears. No-one likes being out in the cold, especially at night, when the howls keep getting closer and closer. Your watchers swear that they can see heartless, yellow eyes watching them from the treeline, just outside the firelight-! The rest of the village is cheered by their efforts however, sleeping sounder for it and the huge fires that all wolves fear.

One of your watchers also reports seeing one wolf, larger than the rest and with a pure white coat. He claims it was looking at him directly, like it was daring him to step beyond the fires.

Overall, there are no ill effects, but your watchers are nervous.

Re-commencing votes for turn's action. Vote for gathering clay has already been coutned. Remember; I will not be hand-holding. Risky actions can result in Game Over.

To deal with the wolves, we should post a watch around the village.

As for our action this turn, I'm in favour of going hunting, as to bulk up our supply of hides.

So, my guess is if we send people out to gather resources or anything they'll be attacked by wolves. We need a solution. Send out hunters to look for wolf dens and smaller packs and take them out, but make sure they're back at the village by nightfall.

>>20321390
Thanks for the info! Loving this here so far.

As for our action.
I suggest either
E) researching nets / fish traps (nets first probably)
G) building a storage hut for food / supplies

>testing trips

Its simpl , we kill the batman....I mean , that white wolf that looks like the alpha.

Please keep to only one option when posting actions, as it makes it easier to tally the votes.

So far, there are four different options in the offing. Until there is a majority on one option, or the number of equal-vote options is three or less, I will not be moving to a new turn.

If memory serves, our scouts found a wolf den earlier in the year. We could send a party out to harass smaller packs of wolves, ultimately pinning the wolves down in their cave and smoking them out(and right into a gauntlet of pit traps, spearmen, and archers). Still, it would be risky. If the wolves get the better of our hunters, we are fucked harder than a Japanese schoolgirl at a bukkake festival.

>>20321541
Sorry, will stick to one option in the future.

>>20321553
I half agree with this. We may have to curb this threat before it gets any larger, but it doesn't feel like we would be ready for that yet and we would also have to leave the village rather unprotected.
So I change my vote to
H) Have every able bodied man and woman train hunting / fighting in preperation of dealing with the wolves.

D - We could chop down some trees. Trees that could later be turned into a palisade for keeping out dem wolves.

Majority registered: Hunt the wolves.

Your hunters ready their spears, having had enough of sleepless nights and yellow-eyed terrors. Leaving the village in larget groups and taking fire with them, they set out for the wolf den, with the aim of ambushing small packs and killing them.

RANDOM EVENT
While hunting the wolf packs, your hunters have some success! A small pack is found and torn apart, only one survivor fleeing. On their way back to the village for fresh supplies however, your hunters are surrounded one night! The howling rouses them from their sleep and in the forest all around are the glinting, yellow eyes.

What draws the attention most however, is the great, white wolf, prowling in a wide circle aroudn the camp, seemingly unafraid of the roaring campfire.

The wolves have not attacked yet, not even the white one. Instead, they simply stand there, keeping the hunters fenced in.
What do the hunters do?
A) Attack the white wolf and try to kill it
B) Take torches from the fire and try to force a way through the ring, using the flames to keep the wolves back
C) Make for the trees and try to climb up, out of reach
D) Wait and see if a better chance arises

A let's become the alpha wolf

>>20321719
Damn it, lazy bastards need to be back to the village by nightfall!

Anyway, I say we go with B. I figure if that fails we can either light their fur on fire or stab them anyway.

Gotta teach myself to look for random events and not ignore threats.

And now, to obey my golden rule: When in doubt, get the fuck out. My vote goes to C.

>>20321719
A- Do battle with the alpha with spear and torch. If we can bring him down, the morale of the others will likely break. Also, weaker wolves within the pack may see a chance to climb the social ladder, and begin fighting among eachother for dominance.

>>20321744

I second this

>>20321757

No, the chance that they catch up to the hunters is too big, and even if they manage to get up the trees, they might either starve up there or be in a horrible fighting position when trying to get down there.

>>20321744
The main wolf proves unafraid of fire, but you're still gonna hide behind it?

>>20321782
No, I'm going to hit it in the head with a flaming torch and watch it cook.

Teach it to be afraid of fire. Plus, we still have our spears with us when we try to chase them off with fire.

>>20321773
>>20321782
Oh god I'm probably a horrible addition to the tribe. If it's still possible I would like to change my vote to this
>>20321771
(Send out best fighter in a desperate 1on1?)

>>20321814
We could go for a 1-to-1 duel with the wolf, but that would probably just end badly. I was thinking have a third of our hunting party deal with the alpha, and the other two thirds fend off the rest of the pack. Only the alpha is unafraid of fire.

>>20321719
B

It's agreed! Your hunters tighten their grip on their spears, grabbing torches and readying to fight the alpha wolf. Your bravest hunter steps forward first, jabbing at the huge creature. It jumps to one side, but a line of red blood is scorred down one flank. The beast looks at the wound for a moment, astonished, then resumes its stalking, seemingly unconcerned. The hunter lunges again, but this time, the wolf leaps to one side, dodging the blow... Your other hunters ready to join in, but as they move, the pack starts to close in. As the hunters freeze in worry, so to the wolves. Your bravest, it seems, is going to have to face the huge wolf alone.

DUEL
Duels will be decided via a rock-paper-scissors sytem.
A ferocious ATTACK beats a readied DEFENCE, dealing light damage.
A powerful SPECIAL will defeat and ATTACK'S raw power, dealing heavy damage.
A readied DEFENCE will deflect a SPECIAL, dealing moderate damage.
Two ATTACKS will result in a stand-off. At the moment, the odds are 50/50 that your hunter will win and deal MODERATE damage
Two SPECIALS will result in both parties taking moderate damage.
Two DEFENCES will result in a stand-off and neither party will take damage.

Watch your opponent's mannerisms and try to predict his moves!

The White Wolf slinks low to the ground, growling slightly. It seems to respect the spear's long reach and is unwilling to attack. It's like it's waiting for something...

>It seems to respect the spear's long reach and is unwilling to attack. It's like it's waiting for something...

This is called a hint, the wolf is obviously DEFENDING. If we also defend, it's just a useless standoff. A special would deal US damage, so we should attack. Attacking does light damage to defending. FUCKING READ THE GM's POST

The hunter raises his spear defensively, carefully making small jabs to warn the besat off. The White Wolf keeps its distance too, not taking the bait.

STANDOFF
WHITE WOLF 30HP
HUNTER 30HP

The White Wolf looks like it is starting to get frustrated. It paws at the ground, its teeth curling back in a snarl as its ears go flat. Its yellow gaze seems to bore into the brave hunter's head.

>>20322145
Use SPECIAL, and hope that it's Super Effective.

SPECIAL sounds like he's pissed and will attack us

>>20322114
I'm almost tempted to give you bonus damage for awesome taste in music, but not quite. You are however, cool enough to learn that once the tribe has some instruments, I'll sometimes try to find musical pieces (mostly stolen from video games, admittedly).

The White Wolf lunges, its fangs bared as it goes for the hunter's throat. The hunter drops low however, ducking under the lunging beast. He draws his flint knife and pushes up with all his strength. There's a heavy shock and the momentum of the beast lets him throw it over him, the knife punching into its ribcage. The White Wolf scrambles up as soon as it hits the ground, growling and bleeding heavily

The White Wolf snarls, its fur bristling as it starts to pace again, its teeth bared and a look of naked agression in its eyes. If any animal is capable of emotion, this one is and right now, it was clear all it felt was hate.

Defend, obviously.

>>20322387

Ho-lee shite. Man this is exciting

>>20322399
Second this

DEFENCE he mad

>>20322387
Follow up with a normal ATTACK. We don't want to exhaust ourselves fighting the alpha, rendering ourselves too tired to help our comrades fend off the rest of the pack after the alpha is dealt with.

>>20322423
Actually, I change my mind. DEFEND.

Defence, plz

The White Wolf's pace picks up, seemingly unconcerned by the wound, it circles faster and faster, before rapidly changing its direction, faster than any human could, lunging in low. The beast looks rather shocked when it has to rapidly jink again, to avoid the spear thrust leveled at its eye! The White Wolf manages to escape death, but not injury, the cunning defence tearing one of its ears badly.

Falling back hasily, the White Wolf goes low, its ears still back as it bares its claws. It looks like its holding back, like a branch bend back on itself, ready to be released.

Gah I forgot that this was going on today until just a little while ago. I was in the last one. I've been reading the thread and face palming as I go (some people are just retarded.) Naming for clarity.

Also defense

>>20322502
Attack

>>20322502
So it's coiled like a spring. Is it getting ready for normal attack or is it in defence? I say normal attack, regardless.

Feint and defend so DEFENCE

DEFENCE, it may want to try a special

DEFENCE.

>>20322502
attack

rolled 4 = 4

The votes are perfectly even! This roll will decide it then!
1-3 Attack
4-6 Defend

The White Wolf suddenly sees its chance and lunges forward, its maw open as it charges. So great is its speed that it slips by the hunter's readied guard, smashing him to the floor. The hutner manages to get his spear between himself and the White Wolf, pushing the creature off and scrambling to his feet, but the White Wolf's claws were as sharp as flints, digging bloody scratches in his chest. Almost like they're cheering, the wolves howl suddenly, whereas they stood in relative silence while the White Wolf was getting the worse of it.

The White Wolf starts to prowl again, circling the hunter over and over, its hackles raised. The strangest part is the glimmer of inteligence behind its yellow eyes. It's like it recognises the spear now... Its teeth and claws are still bared, but it looks like a savage, thoughtless attack is maybe less likely...

>>20322761
Okay, I think NOW it's gonna try a special.
DEFENSE.

>>20322783
this

>>20322761

SPECIAL.

defense

The intelligence behind its eyes may mean that it's trying to lure us into an attack or feigning that it won't attack, when actually it will. Not rolling for this, I'm too scared.

What's that? 'Special', you all say? Well alright! Heh. They're fun to write. Defence it is them.

The White Wolf Dashes in, this time pulling up short. To the hunter's astonishment, the Wolf lunges for the spear, its jaws snapping for the shaft of the weapon! It's hard to bite a darting spear however and the White Wolf gets a nasty cut for its trouble.

The White Wolf back up, until it stands just outside spear range, crouched low and unmoving, its eyes watching the hunter warily...

Then jaws drop on everyone on two legs as the White Wolf speaks. Its words are snarled and gutteral, but it's definitely words! "Killed wolf pack. You pack not welcome. You pack leave or wolf pack kills. Not room for two hunting packs. You have long fang. Sharp fang. You strange but strong. Go. Wolf pack not hunt you. Or stay and wolf pack kill."

Aaand because it's now nearly half past two in the morning, here in England, we'll leave it there today.

The next session is on THURSDAY at 16:30 EASTERN STANDARD TIME, SHARP. The earlier we start, the more stuff you can do.

Just to make sure, the next session is at 16:30 EASTERN STANDARD TIME, on THURSDAY. Now you have no excuses, if you're late.

I hope you all enjoyed today and the cliffhanger I'm leaving you on! I'll archive this on sup/tg/ and post the link on the next thread.

Intelligence + speech = potential for deception.

Not sure if should GTFO or ensure wolf pack never hunt again.

Thanks a lot, OP!

I'll be sure not to miss it next time
