[s]The original gods have completely exhausted themselves making Creation and either completely have ceased to exist, or are powerless incorporeal beings that potentially can be filled with power through prayer. However no one has any knowledge of them, since the Gods were careful in making their Creation cool. Magic will be a bit different in this civ quest but is doable. Requires breeding and being careful and time.

There is also Crafting that will be an option opened up a bit later when I feel we have the capability of it. It will be making unique/special versions of what we already can make generically[/s]

Looks like food production is basically unanimous as is magic. To get an update out, I will pick tree cutting down and magic. So you both get 2/3 what you wanted

A third of the tribe decides to deal with the food situation.

Another picks chopping down trees for construction and heating supplies.

The remaining members after talking to each other think about a strange concept

>>856600
the strange concept is related to greenery and mushrooms

I will ask you guys to do the rolls in future once voting has been completed. I got slightly impatient lol and had half done an update

The foragers are not very good at finding food, and it will take them doing it full time to supply the tribe. This is very unfortunate. (locked unless you want to change it to something else and risk no food production)

The wood cutters were not very successful, but managed to chop down enough trees for tool repairs, basic heating around a bonfire and some lighting. Not enough for more than a few huts on top of that.

Experiments with living plants and fungi was unsuccessful, however the idea of power coming from nature is now present in the tribe. And a variety of mushrooms have been eaten. Some very sick people, others unharmed. No deaths.

We get new baskets and decent wicker armour for about 50 tribesmen. They will be who we call upon if attacked. We don't have a military or any traditions about it, but better than nothing I guess.

Food production goes solidly

Update coming soon

An idea took a chunk of the populace by storm. "Why don't we build more baskets? why not use them and make them differently too? Look. These plants here, let's call them wicker-plants can be made quite easily and are very versatile. And look, they are hard to break when made properly! we should use this for as much as we can!"

The Gatherers noticed that there were some edible yellow grass growing on the plains and had the idea of digging specific holes in the ground for them. Since the crop only needed shallow holes, the gatherers used their tools to make long lines. After a hard days of work, a few fields had been made, with reasonable levels of food being harvested. It wasn't very good quality and was quite hard, but could be beaten into a stew of some kind, and when fruit and mushrooms were added it was alright.

+extremely basic crop fields researched


However, those making homes were unable to work out how to build them properly. It was quite a disaster, and the shelter would need to be reconstructed very regularly. At least it would provide some shelter against rain and sun, but nothing to be happy about.

Fortunately, the weather was very good and no one would die. Clothing the tribe started off with was still holding up okay, but slowly breaking. Any losses could be handled by baskets so far.

>>856880
Personally I vote to lay off the magic research as Dawn said above that we would need to specially breed and research for a long time and setting up a sustainable society would be the first step

Anything to do with basket weaving has a +10 roll and if in doubt it is a success. We have had our early few years consistently involve baskets and wicker successfully and it is rapidly becoming a cultural fixture.

Let us roll for house construction with a +10 bonus.

We also now have some form of hierarchy due to me liking >>856867 idea of a council of craftsmen. While it isn't the ruling class, the top 20 best basket weavers have a bit more influence and priority in survival.

roll for lumber production -above 50 means we will have permanent lumberjacks and won't need to roll to make lumber. Above 70 and some of the lumberjacks also practice scouting and hunting.

roll for hunting and improvement of food production above 50 is permanent improvement

Massive successes in everything.

Writing.

The as-yet un-named basket weaving tribe had many break throughs this year.

Craftsmen utilized their basketweaving expertise and over the course of the year a house for every person was built. Not only that, but a large building in the center of the village was built. It would be the gathering place of the best craftsmen.

Now that everyone had good houses, they could now have space to raise children. In preparation for this, everyone paired up. lots of mating happened. The first babies were born during autumn (200 babies). Unfortunately this means that there are no women available to do the heavier work, as they are all child-rearing and home-makers. (an action is locked for everything that requires strength).

part 1/3

part 2/3

Now that the lumberjacks and foragers (the ones who weren't maintaining the farms) had a couple years of getting used to failing at effectively hunting and chopping wood, they finally worked out how to do so effectively. The sound of trees falling would be a routine event from now on.

Not only that, but some learned how to hunt, explore and scout. A huge river was found running through the forest several days travel within.
Murlocks!

Much to the scouts shock and surprise, they discovered that the tribe was not alone in the world. Short fish-like creatures that yelled in guttural language and had crude spears and small huts on the river's edge! There was a crude tower and some rope bridges poorly made connecting a few of the bigger trees.

Fortunately, the scouts were skilled enough that they were not seen. Everyone has been warned and the scouts are on patrol duty until more decisions are made.

3/3

Over the course of the tribe's existence, the few years had given enough time for those of natural talent in food acquirement to prove themselves.

these top hunters and gatherers are part of the council of advisors and have picked as their duty to improve the skills of every other person in their career.

Y'know what else baskets are good for? Shields! I made a big tall, flat basket and nobody could touch me. I bet if we made a bunch of these we could have an awesome shield wall.
I also made a neat basket helmet that had wicker deer antlers. It worked great at keeping my opponents at bay and poking them with the tips.
Speaking of poking with tips, we could make spears too.
And keep an eye on those fish people.

Writing! (the doggo is happy from walk and gonna be fed)

Our crit success for food storage will give us a hero.

The news of potential enemies only a few days away in the forest brought with it a new sense of danger and worry, and the concept of the need to prepare a defense.

Juliana the Maid - so named because she was the only virgin in the entire village aside from the toddlers - had the idea of developing moving protection in the form of shallow and large wicker bowls. She named these "shields". a lot of others decided to copy her, and soon there were shields for all the men.
Now, as for using them properly that's another matter.

Bob Stabbie - so named because he liked to poke people with his axe when annoyed - had the bright idea of making a weapon that's actually designed for stabbing. From the same material as baskets, he built long sticks, and then added sharp rocks to them by wrapping the shaft with wicker. Other people decided that this would be quite a good way of attacking from a longer reach. Soon there would be enough spears for all men.

Spears and shields made of wicker are able to be produced easily, but there is as yet no trained units of spearmen

part 1/x

>>857494
And?

The love of basket weaving and the nature which doth produce the materials to making baskets and relevant paraphernalia started off as a small flame deep in the hearts of the Tribe.

And as the powers of basketweaving developed over the four years since appearing, the flame has become a strident fire in the hearts of all Tribe members.

There is a deep sense of unity within the tribe. Everyone does what feels necessary to help survival and flourishing. There isn't a sole leader. There are experts and non experts in every field, and everyone is respected for what they can do.

Because of this, a culture has developed. One that Bobus Rossus - so named for his enjoyment of adding white flowers to his baskets - has called "One Basket Many Strands" culture.

+OBMS Culture has been formed


As the strands of basketweaving are all combined, so a religion followed quite similar to the culture - but still different.

Basket may be the main part of the culture, but one man realized that it was not the source as such, but rather an example. Maha Tama in his chats with others won them over with his explanation of everything being a Web of Life. Not web of a basket, but rather of a living entity. "Everyone including animals and plants are part of the same source. A form of deity if you will, not a god or creator but a common existence. We should try to be reasonable and not take too much." and thus a religion is born.

+5 to diplomacy within ones religion (improves morale and reduces infighting possibility in future).

2/x

What with the best hunters training the other hunters, and the good farmers doing likewise, as well as an increase in the amount of people hunting and farming, there was a massive increase in food production.

so much so that quite a lot would spoil and be eaten by the birds and meat would be wasted.


Jeremy -soon to be J. Box- had a brain-wave. "hey, why don't we make large containers in the shade to hold all the food that we can't store otherwise? what about having others designed to let meat hang and dry without bugs getting on them, maybe have the containers of meat in the sun?

And why don't we try out some of the powers I sometimes imagine in my dreams? something involving blood...."

Over the course of the year, Jeremy Box -with the help of mothers in their spare time - crafted many food storage containers. Not only that but he made a super special one, using ideas from his dreams involving blood and words whilst under the influence of colourful mushrooms.

The results? complete storage facilities enough to hold for 10 years. And a smaller, mastercrafted red tinged box that glowed red softly. This box was about the size of dining room, and had two partitions separated by a wicker curtain.

+Unique Holy Site that is unnamed as of yet +40 to morale rolls when fighting within close proximity to it. May have other effects, not sure as of yet.

+Blood-Wicker Mage Jeremy Box a bit of an enchanter. He is very unreliable and I need to think about what he does.

Wave? Is this you?

>>857748
Of course it's not Wave. Wave doesn't' write like DawnQM

lol. peeps forgot my cousin crashed the car and it was in the shop

scouts and woodsmen developed tree huts to accommodate their longer time in the forest, which were fairly hidden. Not amazingly so, but well enough. These were then improved with foliage. These provide reasonable defense against non climbing and non fiery enemies.

The lumberjacks and builders also built a wall around the village, and a gatehouse of some kind. It's not the greatest, but will be very helpful.

The men of the Tribe realized that just because they had shields and spears did not mean that they could actually use that equipment.

So they started to train in units and managed to get some sort of idea. Shields up, spears out, poke the enemy.

By the end of the year, about 200 men were able to wield spear and shield, but it would be several years until any would grow actually skilled.

No generals or special tactics would be possible. Not until there has been time for military traditions to occur.

More of a levy. But a good start.



women doing women things

the Maid worked out how to build wicker hooks and adjusted some of the spears to make hooked spears for climbing. this will surely send waves through the Tribe and add to the extreme diversity of wicker basket weaving knowledge.

Echoing what >>857809 said

Intercept them before they find the village.

>>857816
Well they have 3 times our pop so attacking them is out of the question. We're going have to keep our tribe may more hidden if they time to come and attack us.
So like this >>857809 and this guy said >>857817

>>857817
So after this I figure we should work on being sneaking, and have a very trained arm forces. What we lack in numbers we need to make up in traps, skill, and sneaky kills and raiding.

>>857817
If they become a problem we can always just put flame to there crops and just raid them and hide away in our base. But for now we're going the peaceful route.

>>857822
Well right now I see us headed the Elf route. But hey 1300 vs 400 we got to come up with a plan to defend ourselves. So how about making super effectively tactics, so we can defend if they attack us.

Like we're peaceful but if you attack us we're fuck you up type of culture.

>>857825

>>857826

We make a council of village leaders and in the future all your base are belong to us. We buddy up with them so much we all join together.

Last update then I am going to bed

fail, success, fail

A pair of scouts were sent in every direction. They came back after a few days and didn't find anyone or anything of obvious note.


However, Maha tama Ghandi had a much more successful time. he and his honour guard intercepted the Murlock scouts and, after a tense postering of weapons, managed to have some form of parley.

Murlocks demand to be left alone or they will war with you. They and Maha tama's guard chop down three trees to make a border.

This peace deal is probably only a temporary affair. And only due to the Murlocks having had a hard few years since creation.

>No intermixing if they are too different in appearance.
I disagree. Dawn gave us an interesting premise of strange evolution that we need to explore.
But most importantly, we NEED that River.
Every true civ has a river. And if we can control that river, we can use Wicker boats and Wicker fish traps to become a naval superpower in short order.
And in order to take control of the river without fighting the Murlocks then we need to press every possible advantage. Including interbreeding. Interbreeding breeds loyaltyNot to mention how advantageous hybrid fish-people would be to our navy.

>>857883
You mentioned that they are on hard times, while we have a food surplus. We can give gifts of food to endear them to us and put indebt them to us then push for an embassy.

Meanwhile we need to spy on them as much as possible so that if shtf we can easily compromise their food supply and infrastructure.
Perhaps experiment with poisonous mushrooms and fermentation so that we can spike/poison our aid packages if relations turn sour.

TL;DR Push Diplomacy and Scouting hard. We need to have ninjas and spies everywhere.
And push military & trapmaking in case things get ugly.


We have enough food and houses to last us a while and our culture and religion are established. So now we need to focus on dealing with this new neighbor. Assimilate them and rule the waves!

Year 5
Jeremy Box and his wife are raising their two (3yrs and 2yrs old)children up in the ways of blood-wicker-mancy. The family have a different take on the Web of Life, but it isn't hugely different. As of yet Jeremy hasn't managed to do any other great works, just messing around with trying to build smaller red baskets. Plants are being experimented with to little success
The Tribe warriors do not train full out, the majority of them only practice together every afternoon(they have to do other jobs like hunting and farming afterall). However, there are about 50 who train harder and more often than the others. So far, they simply have better morale and a little more skill. With time and combat they will show themselves as more experienced

Population: 400 adults. 200 children. 100+100 toddlers

Culture: One Basket Many Strands

Religion: Web of Life

Government: Tribe with some sort of very minor council of skilled workers

Military: 200 spearmen with shields with 2 years training. 50 women with crowd control. Most of the spearmen have axes as they are woodcutters generally. Some scouts

Technology: basic tools and clothing. Wicker everything. Basic farming. Food storage. Wicker Architecture. Basic weaponry. hooks for climbing

Traditions: Basket weaving specialty, Minor culture of spearmen

Magic: VERY VERY unreliable and seems to be blood and drugs powered wicker related.

Assets: basic tools and clothes, tribe population, some wood supplies. Several food fields. Wicker armour of good quality, lumber supply. Holy Site (made by Jeremy). Jeremey Box. Treehuts, a wooden wall and gate, LOTS of houses.
Heroes/Named-people: Juliana the Maid(inventor), Bob Stabbie(spearinventor), Bobbus Rossus, Jeremy Box(first mage of any kind), Maha Tama(diplomat +5murlocks)

Women are getting a bit more spare time from raising kids now that they are slightly older, no education system is put in place, parents just teach what they think is needed
Pick two. The third is locked due to training and the fathers getting lobbied by the mothers to spare time to play with the children. If you want to change this you can, but it will have an effect on the tribe (if you get the fathers to not help with the kids, the kids will be much more likely to follow after their mothers, or be combative with their fathers)

How about making something that is ranged. Throwing the spears, a leather pouch with a stone, a stick with string that can launch a sharp piece of stick.

Lol.

Looks like our Tribe doesn't understand ranged weapons, and the kids don't wanna listen to anyone other than their family members.

The Maid attempted to work through an idea she had had, about forming a curved piece of wood and putting a string on it and having a smaller stick. All of it failed with the larger stick snapping, the string snapping or her getting stabbed by splinters.

(That's using the average of the first two rolls, next will have average of second two rolls)

>>858422
This, everything can segue from wicker if we do it right.

while the young ones (none of them are older than 4 years old) were very reluctant to do anything other than play with their fellows and follow their parents and play with them, the mothers managed to get together some sort of system of skill training and lessons.

Children will now be taught a more unified set of knowledge, and some sort of testing of natural ability will lead to them being placed in careers that most suit them. It's all very burgeoning and will have to be adapted as they grow up. After all, there are exactly NO parents who have had past experiences. Everyone is in the same boat of fresh experiences. No one knows what will actually work, as none of the parents have ever had their own parents. At least the Creators seem to have given a natural competency that stops the parents from messing up too bad. And as usual there are naturally skilled parents.

Some sort of education programme that will pay off, for now it keeps the kids under control
more babies are born, because sex happens. Going to be a consistent +50 from now on

Year 6

Murlock-Human border is peaceful, and a very small amount of trade is happening naturally, as humans like fish and river rocks, and Murlocks like the more filling grains of the humans. People in the village have a fair amount of autonomy and will act as (I) they see fit

I've got to go, but my next vote is for Diplomacy and Tech(Bows)

Rolling for absentee vote.

I'll post my ideas to help collaborate with others meanwhile.

How to pursue new technology while maintaining Wicker Synergy Bonus
A:Construction
Want stronger buildings? Slap some mud on your wicker walls and houses to make wattle & daub. Almost as strong as stone, helps regulate moisture and creates a smooth surface that can’t be climbed.
B:Food
This is a low priority for now. We already have grain fields and plenty of granaries with surplus. Maybe woven hats to improve farmer efficiency or wicker windmills for bread. Wicker fish traps are super easy.
C: Military
Want stronger armor and shields? Try stretching animal skins over them for super-reinforced hardened leather. Still not good enough? Slap some mud on them to make reinforced plaster armor. Bows are the easiest weapon to pursue because wicker is flexible and bendy. Giant bows are called ballistae, and big springy rattan makes good catapults too. Remember those long hooked sticks we use for climbing? Strap a stone axehead on it and you have a basic halberd. Our tactics already have the beginnings of the phalanx which was what the Spartans used and later inspired the Romans to develop their tactics.
D:Culture:
Kids being a nuisance? Appoint competent nursery workers for the little ones. Build wicker jungle gyms and obstacle courses for the older ones. Appoint competent warriors and scouts to teach them fighting, climbing and stealth. Also appoint skilled craftsmen to teach their trades.
E:Religion
Anything about the web of life is wicker related because wicker is a web of fibers. We do need to learn about Jeremy’s new ideas tho.
F:Technology
Want pottery? Slap some mud on those baskets! Want aquaducts? Slap some mud on those tube-shaped baskets! Want metal? Guess where natural iron is found? That’s right, mudpits. Wicker>Pottery>Metal, easy segue.
G:Magic
Wicker-Blood-Drug Magic, Jeremy box (i.e. Wicker Ark of the Covenant), and a web of life religion that stresses a deep connection to nature? Everything is interconnected. Everything has a fiber that can be bent and woven for a new purpose. Plant fibers, Life fibers, heart strings, and more! Bend them to your will.

1/2

>>858916
H: Scouting
The Murlocks are the obstacle standing between us and a huge river that would allow us to make wicker boats and wicker fish traps which would give our civ a huge boost. However, they have a large population and seem militaristic. We need to learn everything we can about them so we can make good strategies. Scouts can improve their camouflage by putting foliage in their wicker armor and using their climbing skill and treehuts for spying.
I: Diplomacy
The best way to deal with the Murlocks is to befriend them and assimilate them into our civilization. They may outnumber us, but we have more food. Use the food for leverage by giving them gifts of food and establishing an embassy. This would allow us to gather intel from the inside and teach them that our cultures are interconnected in the web of life. Meanwhile we need to conceal our tech and population from them so that they cannot exploit our weaknesses.

The clock is ticking. Every year the murlocks focus on military and defense. If we want to succeed we need to deal with them before they turn the tables on us.

>>859011
>>859014
I'll read back through the thread but I'm pretty sure we got some walls yesterday. Not sure if they're wicker or palisade though.

I would definitely like to keep diplomacy on the menu every year until this murlock deal gets settled. And we should be able to bundle espionage in with it since its pretty easy for one person to serve as both spy and ambassador/missionary/trader.
I hope we can end up getting a yearly report on the murlocks just like we get for our people.

>>859767
>>858471
>wooden wall and gate
yep its a palisade, should be sufficient to funnel them into our shield wall.
Since we have walls, shields and armor, we should probably focus more on offense though.

Since Diplomacy really needs to be our first choice,we can choose between Scouting and Military for our second.
>Scouting: Provides excellent intel when combined with diplomacy. Also start training ninjas and guerilla fighters
>Military: Focus on developing bows, halberds and tactics. We can save seige engines and better armor for later.

If this goes well and we don't have to push the big red button, we can do diplomacy and education reform next year to can free up that third action.

>>859916
>Scouting: also includes wicker camoflage and improved climbing skills.
The more we use those climbing hooks, the closer we'll be to high-speed brachiation.

I am back! fucking missed the summer uptake of the big stores rofl

Finishing of the women and culture thing. No matriarchy but can add a little to their role.

The women of the tribe grew weary of the men doing most of the hard work and wanted to find a way other than weaving and crafting and teaching to help the village. So they started developing symbols of communication.

Basic literacy has begun it will take some time for an actual alphabet to take place. In three years time there will be a minor event where we vote upon the direction of alphabet (like pictograms or phonetic symbols or numbers).

Alliances come and go. Where ever two groups come into contact, there will arise a conflict of interest unless they unify under one banner or destroy each other. We may become good buddies for now, but in a few generations they're gonna feel taken advantage of when we move in on the river.

Plus, as I said yesterday, a naval superpower with semi-aquatic sailors would be nigh unstoppable.
Can't we just cum in the water, upstream of the females laying eggs? Make it look like an accident.

>>860367

What about genociding them? would it help for me to make the murlocks black?

43, 67 and an 84 for the rolls.

What are we rolling for and in which order?

Also I am gonna play some Town of Salem

>>860228
>Pick Three
Yas! lets get this train rollan

>Military
Bows, Halberds and tactics
>Scouting
Intel, Camoflage and Ninjas
>Diplomacy
Same thing keep sending small gifts and preaching our religion. Gather intel also.

>>860384
>What about genociding them?
We're not in a position to do that yet, we need more info to weigh our chances of winning an armed conflict.
>would it help for me to make the murlocks black?
Nah, they'll just be tan humans with webbed feet and gills in a few generations.

>>860404
So deep ones?

Our population pyramid is gonna be so weird. presently have 600 below the age of 8 years. Which means that our working population is smaller than the number of dependents.

In two years we will lose our third slot until our first baby boom reaches maturity.

Oh, and in 40 years there is gonna be a massive drop in our number of adults.

Gonna be interesting as fuck to see where it stablises if ever.

>>860228
Lets ask Jeremy Box what his red boxes are all about. Also if he's made any religious developments on his own.

>>860404
I am ok with tall humans with webbed feet and gills.

>>860419
Hey, you're the one who decided we should have our women become baby factories. 200 babies a year? Apparently every single woman in the village got pregnant.

Ensure breeding is done only every 5 years to keep the population growth in check.
Anal for pleasure.


Train our ninjas to be better at stealth and shitposting on trees.
Oh and if the Murlocks are still amused by our bad drawings have the ninjas go out in the open and use shitposting as an excuse to spy on them directly.

>>860404
I think we shouldn't do that, because of the nature of genetics and how it's passed on, the offspring would be sterile or an abomination of nature.

>>860461
Never mind, I read OP's statement

>>860449
well, we had just completed a fuckload of houses so had all the women get pregnant, then we had half get pregnant, now it's a persistent 50. So that's 1/4 of the women having another child a year.

Which is a bit excessive, but then again we do have a ton of food.

>>860453
you are supposed to craft wicker condoms for safe sex. just kidding


Map

About a dozen of our people fool about with murlocks

New military weapons.


Amazingly there has been absolutely no searching for mines or quarries so our original tools are going to break and temporarily lose us a Tribe action until replaced

>>860474
yes, and even if it does succeed it's going to take decades to figure out what happened.


time to work out our map

pretty much.
Maybe we could develop a caste system or something like the UK's special gurkha units to appease the aryan nationalists.

>Be given a setting with a tabula rasa for crazy evolution and squander it trying to keep your bloodline pure.
Y'know this isn't real life, right guise?

>>860486
Oh fuck.
We need to tech up.

Experiment with stones to make tools better.
Maybe even discover copper and make copper wicker.

>>860453
>trying to regulate human sexuality
Good luck with that

>>860486
We really need to figure out what's around us. Are there even any hills/mountains that we can mine? We just don't know.

>>860488
Caste system sounds like a bad idea. Would remove the egalitarian aspect of our society.

>>860488
Why would you want our people to have sex with fish. Even if deep ones are great, we could just culturally assimilate the merlocs

>>860488
I'll go with the caste system since I want at least most our humans pure.

Let's not intermix with the merlocs

>>860509
Is oldfag wickerman?

>>860486
>our original tools are going to break
Wait, I thought we made those original tools with our basic flintknapping skills? Can't we just make more as a matter of course?

>>860513
No

Also intermixing can cause side effect like other members of our tribe will kill the offspring etc.

>>860522
Why do you think racial conflict will be a certainty? So far there hasn't been any indication that humans wouldn't accept hybrid offspring. If anything, the Morlochs seem more likely to kill the offspring, as they have been depicted as more violent.

>>860499
see >>858916

If we select construction and make our houses wattle&daub we can find iron ore too.
Perhaps also send scouts to look for caves and use magic boxes for lanterns.

However, since we're already making stone-tipped spears, we shouldn't have any problem sustaining ourselves with stone tools for a while longer yet.

Since our map roll wasn't very good I did a not very good map.

as good as I could make in short time

The triangles are hills or mountains, the yellowish is plains/grassland, the green is forest, the purple star is murlock capital, the golden star is our capital, the blue is the river.

Next year our tools break, so we get a full set of actions to fix that.

Gonna write the latest turn results next.

Inky is gonna post the map since the upload failed for me

Stop racemixing :_:

>Why
Elite navy seals
>Culturally assimilate
Idk, it may prove difficult to make them buy that we're all the same and equal since we look so different. But it may be possible. We've still got a ways to go before we cross that bridge.

>>860509
>most our humans pure
Good idea, we could just have specialized groups that focus on certain tasks while the pure human group acts as the hub that holds the web together.
Better to have several specialized sub-species than just one useless mutt.

>>860550
That's what I can agree on. Have mostly humans and sub specialized groups

>>860550
So a caste system? Because that sounds like a caste system.

>>860544
yep, def gonna need more scouting.
We need details on troop strength/composition, fortifications, and food sources.
Also what kind of building materials they're using.

Let me help you out

>>860572
We're all part of the same basket, but every strand has a different role to play.

A scandal took the Tribe by storm. Racemixing! While trade between Humans and Murlocks had been going peacefully -aside from the graffiti war- there had not much beyond that. At least until a small degenerate group of humans decided that they wanted to masturbate into the river up-stream and see what happened. Turns out from some of the absolutely fucking groutesque offspring and the howls of horror and fury and frustration, that humans can impregnate Murlock spawn.

The more you know...


New Weaponry
The Maid and Bob Stabbie worked together on ideas that had been bouncing around in their heads for several years. Finally they managed to design and build the first bows and arrows! Turns out that bows require treated wood and specially worked with animal guts for the string. Other crafters started making bows and arrows now that there was a working build.

Some hunters realized the implications of having proper ranged weapons, and started trying to figure out how to use them properly. It would be a while before they did. Until they do there won't be any ability to build archer troops -no skill base to train others. Trial by error at the moment- and the bow and arrows are very crude and rudimentary, and will slowly be improved over the years.

>>860577
thanks


Normal information and minor events soon to come.

>>860581
Alright. I can try it. Let's see how this plays out.

>>860585
grotesque = comically or repulsively ugly or distorted.

Still think race mixing still works? The offspring is ugly

But we can fuck with them by keep masturbating into the river destroying there babies

>>860585
damn, I kinda expected this to happen a bit later in the story. Like after they accepted us as chummy bros.
The more you know..indeed.

>>860595
I think we should view this as a minor setback. There are some kinks we need to work out, but just the fact that we have results means that we should keep on trying to perfect our methods.

>>860606
Now there's an idea. We just have to train our ninjas to masturbate into the stream to defeat our enemies.

town of salem and dinner. You guys will need to plan a bit desu.

Things to plan for: all tools requiring material we don't have breaking.

continued graffiti

lack of mines

population growth exceeding food production (though our stores are legit as fuck atm and will be fine for a solid few years)

Possible murlocks getting pissy.

our baby boomers turning nine years old.

>>860621
Alright,

>Diplomacy
smooth things over and continue trying to get them to buy our religion and gather inside information.

>Scouting
Search for caves and get better intel on murlock military and infrastructure.

>Technology
Flintknapping to replenish our stone tools.

Pottery -> Metal will take too many actions to bother with atm with things still looking unstable.

Meanwhile, perhaps we could automate something, or rely on our food storage for a few years so we can keep our third action. Maybe halt lumber production since we don't really use it for anything but firewood.

writing

It has been 3 years since a big focus on writing had begun. The women are trying to figure out which of the three types should be focused on: Hieraglyphics, letters, or colours.(post a pic of the script from google images)
Tools are almost completely worn out and need to be replaced. The tribe discusses on what to do (dealt with through actions)
Jeremy Box's oldest child, Jerome Box, has successfully learnt how to make red glowing wicker strands. Nothing can be heard from the Box family that isn't pride in the talent passing on through the line. two "mages" in total now
The murlocks are having a harder time than usual due to the intermittent sub-locks. Chanting and screams seem to indicate that their civ has decided to cull the offspring, and the family if any resist Murmers from a few humans agree with the sentiment, and others laugh at murlocks killing each other.

Year 9
Population: 400 adults. 250 (>5 year olds)children. 250 toddlers(<3years), 150newborns 50 births p.a.
Resource and food stocks: Food storage is good for 6 years of complete famine, however food production is only slightly above consumption. Plenty of wood and wicker. As of yet there is no metal or stone besides the little tribe members have traded with the murlocks. ALMOST DEAD TOOLS.
Culture: One Basket Many Strands. Mothers teach children what they know, while the fathers teach the fighting and hunting. Women are working on writing and some bother teaching their kids what they think they have learnt

Religion: Web of Life, Jeremy Box has his own minor branch.

Government: None; everyone does what they feel is needed to help the tribe flourish

Military (unblooded): 150 spearmen with shields with 4 years part-time training. 50 full time troops. Women with crowd control. Most of the spearmen also have axes as they are woodcutters generally. Some scouts.

Technology: basic tools and clothing. Wicker everything. Basic farming. Food storage. Wicker Architecture. Basic weaponry. hooks for climbing. Basic education. Starting literacy. Jungle gyms

Traditions: Basket weaving specialty, All men part of spear levy with the more skilled as permanent fighters, parents teaching kids together.

Magic: VERY VERY unreliable and seems to be blood and drugs powered wicker related.

Assets: basic tools and clothes, tribe population, some wood supplies. Several food fields. Wicker armour of good quality, lumber supply. Holy Site (made by Jeremy). Jeremy Box. Treehuts, a wooden wall and gate, LOTS of houses. Playgrounds for children
Heroes/Named-people: Juliana the Maid(inventor), Bob Stabbie(spearinventor), Bobbus Rossus, Jeremy Box(first mage of any kind) and Junior Box, Maha Tama(diplomat +5murlocks).

We scout for copper.

Tech
Learn how to make wooded rock tools

Diplo another race. I want to meet some centaurs, but diplo the murmers if we have too

>>860669
I thought we were learning flintknapping?

>>860671
But we're low in tools so don't it be best to learn how to make them?

Yes. We will make them using flint.

a new hero has been found.

Whenever someone rolls an >90, you get to make a hero.

>>860686
Great so I'm thinking a dipolmat, and if I rolled over 90 does that allow me to make two heros?
Or One hero per anon and if that anon roll over 90 they can increase the hero skill?
I think that will get the players more involved and not just spawninf heros everywhere.
So military and dipolmat

>>860689
Done.

Every anon now has a named person in the tribe. Every >90 allows that character to gain a skill in a field of what your roll was for, in some way that can be explained via brief rp.

Though it might be best not to use completely same names as from Civ bulgar's quest if you are part of it.

>>860692
Can do

Rolled 2 (1d2)

>>860681
Yuge success in diplomacy. We have managed to convert some of the Murlocks to our faith, and we will have some sort of inside intelligence. As we haven't found any other race other than Murlocks we can't diplomance anyone else.

>>860682
Scouting for caves and hills, and inspecting them has been a good success. We will know where some sources to resources are.

>>860683 If I get a one
>>860684 If I get a two

Depending on which one, we either find flint and start rudimentary tools, or we find it and manage to finish up rudimentary tools this year. So it won't be toooo difficult replacing our original top quality tools.

Writing soon

>>860700
Can do
Rolled 97 in diplomacy and 96 in culture so don't know if you allow two.

A man with a Silver touch he know what to say at the right time, and his kids and other kids look up to him for guidance on how to be a proper man.

Still thinking of the last name maybe something to do with our religion? So Godsend for now

Awesome!

Glad we got to share ideas and get some stuff accomplished.
Future looks bright. See ya'll tomorrow.

Lets keep our eyes on the river and milk that wicker synergy whenever possible.
Together we'll make humanity great for the first time

>>860710
Also let our resident shitposter ninjas keep mastrubating in the river.

>Secret services in the future will be called after dudes drawing memes on trees and mastrubating in the river.

Also we pretty much culled a generation of murlocks this way, have we not?

>>860714
I don't think our antics would be considered a big enough operation for us to have "culled" the population. Not yet, anyway.
