I'm not sure about Hoenn, but iDevices are either unpopular and/or markedly different in Safiria than their Terran equivalents, because Apple openly flouts anti-censorship laws, among others, in the way it handles the iTunes Store, among other things, not to mention its closed-source operating systems and use of DRM (edited)
Avatar
Vāstra II 30-Jun-16 07:11 AM
iDevices intended for distribution within the Safirian Empire must be made in accordance with Safirian labor laws, i.e. by employees who are treated humanely and afforded the same benefits as are an employee of Apple Computer or any other Safirian company, and forbidden by statute from working more than 48 hours per week without express written consent (in which case any more work is paid for in triplicate) (edited)
Chinese-made iThingies are rejected by customs and sent back to Cupertino on Apple's dime. (edited)
The same applies for any other mobile device company that commits similar labor law/human rights abuses.

The concept is called induced demand, which is economist-speak for when increasing the supply of something (like roads) makes people want that thing even more. Though some traffic engineers made note of this phenomenon at least as early as the 1960s, it is only in recent years that social scientists have collected enough data to show how this happens pretty much every time we build new roads.

"Female safir weigh 140 to 220 pounds, while males weigh 110 to 170. Male safir are rarely seen in public, due to their scarcity (only one boy is born for every five girls) and their closely protected nature.

«20.57.22» <Carl_Miller> Idea: The Safirian Empire has a multi-sport event similar to the Olympic Games. Corollary idea: Athletes compete in the nude, as did the Greeks in the ancient Olympics. There are at least a few sports (swimming and cycling come most readily to mind) where this would be a functional difference. «20.58.02» <Digifanatic> How you gonna swim or cycle with all that hair? =P «20.58.16» <Carl_Miller> True XP «20.58.35» <Carl_Miller> But I was thinking about how the presence or absence of certain clothes, or indeed clothes at all, affects the athlete's performance «20.59.14» <Carl_Miller> (see: the aerodynamic suits and helmets that cyclists have now, or the Paul Biedermann swimsuit fiasco from 2009) «20.59.32» <Digifanatic> What was the swimsuit fiasco? «20.59.57» <Carl_Miller> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arena_X-Glide#Controversy «21.05.40» <Digifanatic> Ah «21.14.03» <Carl_Miller> I imagine there are some exceptions to the rule (stickfighting, ғᴇɴᴄɪɴɢ, wrestling, sprinting, the as-yet-unnamed martial art not dissimilar to a mélange of judō and aikidō that I've mentioned on reddit) «21.14.27» <Digifanatic> Really, wrestling? «21.14.33» <Digifanatic> Oh, because of hair? =P «21.15.10» <Carl_Miller> For protective purposes, also to help enforce the ban on grabbing your opponent's genitals «21.17.24» <Carl_Miller> (and of course those sports where where identifying a player or team by the usual practice of writing numbers down their side is infeasible) «21.17.52» <Digifanatic> Oh I see «21.23.20» <Carl_Miller> ᴄᴀᴘᴏᴇɪʀᴀ is also excepted in order to allow for protective gear «21.26.22» <Carl_Miller> though of course athletes can ignore the exception at their own peril; stickfighting, for example, contains a rule whereby the result of a bout can be reversed if the winner has taken more visible damage (usually bruises) than the loser
Arena X-Glide is a swimsuit from the Arena brand, made of pure polyurethane that causes a swimmer to slide through water faster when swimming. One notable example of the efficacy of this suit design is that of Paul Biedermann of Germany who wore the suit in the 2009 World Championships, breaking two world records. The design of the suit covers basically the whole torso and the legs with the impermeable polyurethane, thereby exposing less skin to the water and improving the swimmer's buoyancy and streamlined...

Well fuck. It looks like Safirian dragons are too big to be plausible without the atmosphere being too thick and too toxic for humanoids, nevermind the fact that they're also too big to fly. 😦

So I had an idea for a http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TailorMadePrison for some Safirian übercriminal or another: a cubical, perfectly psychically shielded chamber deep in the bowels of an officially unoccupied prison world, with no furnishings save for a hole in the ground to shit in. The prisoner, meanwhile, is kept pharmaceutically stillminded via tampering with her food, has her hair ripped out before being sent down, and is allowed no personal effects whatsoever. And, of course, there are several ways for the watchwomen to subdue her when she transgresses the rules or the laws of the outside world. (edited)
The Tailor-Made Prison trope as used in popular culture. A personal Alcatraz made with special precautions to stop this one person from escaping. If he has a …
may or may not be a bit mad. (edited)
Idea 2 is a several-meters-thick full-body cast made of antipsionic material, with the prisoner being fed, kept pharmaceutically stillminded, and relieved of waste by a system of tubes, with a thick red line on the ground a good while away (in a building probably at least the size of an airplane hangar) that no person, not even the guards, may cross, lest said guards, or the prisoner, kills them.

Inquizition would be good on Safirian TV, in the form of a massive tournament, with segments also showing the arcane and secret world behind the exams
The normal Inquizitrix would be a silvery-haired emotionless disciplinarian (think Anne Robinson) who was the Airumàli voice of Rei Ayanami, though the other members of the Board of Examination also conduct inquizitions from time to time

I should see professional soccer sometime
I had a lot of friends in high school and some in college that played
I also work at Pratt & Whitney, which means I work right next to a college football stadium that often hosts international friendlies, but they almost always sell out quick when they do--besides I think MLS would be more fun
My family and I also went to DC several years back and RFK Stadium just happened to be hosting a US/Honduras match during our stay, so we saw a bunch of Honduran fans coming up and staying in the hotel we were in, that was kinda neat
That's the great thing about events like soccer and wrestling (and sometimes football)--the producers don't even bother to mute the crowd and the commentators don't even bother to apologize

Mainland Safiria, at least in its urban areas, has an extremely robust power system, wired for more than half again as much electricity as it presently uses, with all the components being deliberately overengineered.
The worst that could happen is a fusion reactor blowing up, which is nowhere near as bad as a fission reactor.

Being jailed when the Empress dies would suck big time. Why? All Crown appointments expire on the demise of the Crown. This means that you have to wait for the period of mourning to end, the funeral, the coronation, and new federal judges, etc. to be appointed, as well as and state judge appointments if you were collared at that level.

A note: The realignment of orbital characteristics brought on by the general fine-tooth comb of World Building June has caused a change in the length of the Daian year, from approx. 12 Terran months to 14.616 of the same.

So for some reason I started thinking about Safirian fencing while messing around with Ashrain early this morning. It would obviously use some manner of sword that's pretty much useless out of context, like a rapier or bat'leth (though at lower levels, wooden implements similar to shinai are used instead, for safety purposes). Due to the safir's telepathic nature, however, actual contact between the fencers is uncommon, with most phrases instead being of thoughts and counter-thoughts and formation of mental defenses, and with a system of “virtual points” set up to avoid an unending litany of scoreless draws. The piste is defined by “metes” (sidelines) 12 meters long and “bounds” (end lines) four meters wide. Owing to the sport's origins in a ritual to honor the gods of the Sevenfold Path, fencers traditionally wear ornate robes and masks, though Terran-style fencing suits are also becoming common. Instead of saluting each other with their swords, fencers kneel (or curtsy or squat) to the judge and to each other before the match. The entire front of the body is a valid target, and scoring is as follows: • Contact: 1 real point • Casting aside (forcing a turned-aside opponent to step out of bounds): 1 real point and -1 virtual point • Crossing dimensions (contacting, or turning aside, an opponent from out of bounds): -1 real point • Boxing (making intentional bodily contact with an opponent): -1 real point and -1 virtual point • Cornering (moving an opponent past their own bound): 1 virtual point • Moving onward (being closer to forming an attack thought than the opponent after 24 ðagiai [20.83̄ s]): 1 virtual point • Turning aside (moving the opponent so that they are parallel to a mete): 1 virtual point • Passing (extending the sword tip past the opponent, even if they are turned aside in the process): -1 virtual point • Turning back (moving the opponent so that they are facing their own bound): -1 virtual point (edited)

I don't have a clue what any of that means... but that's because I don't know the rules of fencing.

I somehow turned fencing into a psychic duel, basically 😛
Of course, like any good sport, there are both draws (when both fencers have the exact same number of real and virtual points) and ties (when both fencers have the exact same number total points, but the real and virtual point counts differ) (edited)

[9:18 PM] [HON/IRS] Hālian: Because over time it turned from actual fencing more into a psychic duel, with each fencer trying to ferret out the other's intentions while masking their own, and they would often spend appeciable amounts of time not attacking because of such; why a separate type of point was implemented nobody's quite sure, but cornering and turning/casting aside used to be fouls

@Bijaro the Pallisican I wonder what the weather on Daia is like, and specifically in Firneramnen (mainland Safiria), and even more specifically whether Aňira would be battered by regular hurricanes or gigantic ones because lolworldocean 😛
(and here's a physical map of Daia, as well as a political map of Firneramnen, for context. Daia has retrograde rotation.)

Bijaro the Pallisican 17-Jul-17 01:31 PM
Assuming it's basically earth-like in terms of size and distance from its sun, then yeah, i'd imagine there would be some really intense hurricanes
If it's too cold then hurricanes may not be a huge issue
What is the explanation for those islands over in the western bits?
are those volcanic islands like hawaii?
or is there something like a sunken continent over there?
if it's the latter then that'll have an impact on what weather will be like

I'm not sure, but given that Daia has no plate tectonics, a volcanic origin seems highly unlikely

Has it never had plate tectonics?
Or were there plate tectonics in the past, but the processes have stopped?
the latter seems much more likely

I'm having writer's block re: the exact nature of safir economy… it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me that a species of communal psychic aliens would be capitalist, but the alternatives that do come to mind (barter and gift economies) wouldn't scale well, while a centrally planned economy would be incompatible with Firneramnen's, at least, federalist political system
Avatar
Shyriath 07-Mar-18 11:33 PM
Economics is not my strong suit, alas. But possibly you could do something like have a planned economy, but not have the actual government doing the planning - if possibly they have the technology for an AI, it could be running the economy instead.

Hold on, let me find a convoluted passage from an old Wyrmfolk beta.
"Matria and Patria are Dracon terms for Mother and Father, siblings are known as bloodkin, while sons and daughters are known as matrikin for females and patrikin for males. Uncles and Aunts are known as patirblood and matriblood while cousins are known as partbloodkin, and neices and nephews as halfmatirkin and half patrikin. Great is denoted with a great before the title, as in greatmatria, greathalfmatrikin and greatmatrikin. Partbloodkin rules are similar to English rules, with firstpartbloodkin, second partbloodkin. A notable difference is that there is no "once removed" or its ilk."
4 years later I have no idea why I wrote this, nor can I make sense of this.
Also related to that beta: "Drakonikan English is a pidgin of British English, where many unnecessary letters (mainly vowels) are omitted from the words to give the language a harsher look and feel, which is most suited to the dracon tongue. It is still phonetically the same as British English, and Draconikan English is spoken the same, the letters are just removed. For example: British English: "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." Drakonikan English "Th qwik brn fx jmpd ovr th lzy dg." The grammar is almost the same as British English at it's base, except for spelling. Here are some rules to learn, with particular sounds. -th becomes -f -qu becomes -qw If a letter is important to the phonetic structure of the word, keep it, otherwise remove it. The sounds of the vowels o, u and e are not in Drakonikan English, except in the case of -qw. If two completely different and important words are spelled the same by deleting letters, add the first vowel."
Dracons, as you know, were beta Wyrmfolk. (edited)
Also it took forever to dig through the NationStates archives to find these. lol

Hello everybody!! My name is Jei, I’m a late-20-something bi (but MUCH more straight/androphilic-leaning, and fujoshi/yaoi-slash-fan) girl/woman/whatever-term-you-prefer from the Midwest USA. I’m from Comfy Worldbuilding sever, here to rp and learn more about the Safir Alliance and all associated stuff within! 😄 I’d typed up a “short summary” rp proposal, but it turned out to be a several-paragraph-long essay so... I made a separate doc for those willing to look it over. I don’t want to take-over here or rudely disrupt any running rp’s, so of course you can choose if you want to be involved in the crossover-universe-rp shenanigans with my pair of human dudes potentially also a 3rd person/female body form of one of the dudes, if necessary, or not. I love learning about people’s different original settings, stories, and characters, so am eager to meet as many of you as are willing!! 💗 https://docs.google.com/document/d/15kOZPz6PSeINAtc5pefRd0BqolsMQJBaMxWift9M91E (edited)
I have an idea/proposal for rp that would be crossover with my 2 mc’s from my own original SF(sci-fi) universe I call the Xzenorverse, or “xznvrs” for short. Xznvrs strives to be a hardSF universe, basically a version of our own reality but main story starting 300ish ye...

Ok I’m taking a break from studying, reading over the rp again but will be a while before I respond. Reading over got me questioning though— What is the safir language called, and even more importantly, where is the pronunciation guide? (And does said guide include discernible options for linguistically-ignorant plebeians like myself? Any chance audio files could be added eventually??)

Jeylien 25-Jul-18 09:05 PM
Any chance you could make short audio clips for the characters’ names? Ideally I’d try and learn the language, I know, and eventually I probably will, but in the mean-time I hope to just figure out how to pronounce the names and such I come across, so I can mentally phonetically read it 😅 (Are the odd letters you use in typing for it, basically IPA? Cuz I guess it’s on me then to go learn those IPA symbols... which I’ve been meaning to do anyways and I figure shouldn’t take too long, but still)
— just wanna say though, I love that you’re conlanging!!! I wish more people would. And SOMEDAY, I’ll get into it myself I’ll have to, for my own stuff
Oh, question though: what source languages are you building āirumāli from? Like, what are the inspirations? (Obviously not the one non-English language I have any experience with super minimal/ limited as it may be, cuz I don’t find any of that showing up here haha.)
Avatar
Vāstra II 25-Jul-18 09:28 PM
Probably not, since I can't even into register tones, and Classical Āirumāli is a register tone language. :( No, but I will use IPA in the pronunciation guide. grin_safir A few, but Classical Āirumāli is an a priori conlang.

Avatar
Jeylien 25-Jul-18 09:34 PM
Ah, then I have absolutely no idea of the subject. I get contour tones though.
Well, thankgawd Chinese is so much less complicated than Japanese, and that I find all sorts of excuses to make them big world power/source of stuff, instead 😆 (though, that’s actually misleading— I make stuff based off Chinese BECAUSE it’s the only other language I have even the slightest introduction to... but also it is convenient. Logographical languages are fun and that general concept for written language makes more sense to me logically, even if it’s a bother to actually learn)
NGL, it’s gunna drive me crazy not knowing how to even pronounce character names or the language’s name itself, for that matter, but...I’ll survive, I guess 😅 And only half-related, but I’m avoiding studying so desperately that I miiiiiiiiight actually get around to rp response after all. Sorry making such big deal about everything / always writing long ranty blabber for the slightest whims.

Why not just take the last class at UCF as a non-degree-seeking status, then transfer those credits back to your current college? You don’t need every credit to be from the host school, and doing well in a UCF course will only help in ambitions to transfer there later.

There’s no way to use the FA at another school? Idk, I just think if you don’t have a decided major track then there’s no reason to be taking those classes. But it’s all hypocritical of me to say anyways. I took a lot of extraneous classes and also wasted thousands having to repeat classes, so...I shouldn’t be talking.

Anyways, I envy your computer science background. I desperately need to get some of those skills, myself. I sorely regret not having done that before.
Like, my only hope for ever getting a reasonable job that I can live off is if I force myself to learn some basic comp sci and FAST. (Like, start from absolute zero to being proficient in python and familiar with SQL, R, and as much else as possible...before 2019, fast.)

I couldn’t get to sleep last night until like 4am and after intentionally drinking a glass’s worth of white wine (only thing in fridge left over from previous apartment dwellers, so some member of my extended fam but idk who) to help knock myself out... then I was out til 1pm, and even though I’ve awoken, still can’t motivate myself to actually get up and face the day. Still feel exhausted for no reason... But it’s perfect beach weather so I guess I should make myself go. I suppose I can sleep on the beach. But ugh, I’m so not-thin&sexy, it’s so embarrassing/horrifying to me. (I have slight history of bulimia, and even though I don’t have body dysmorphia—or at least I don’t believe I do, and I’ve considered it extensively cuz I constantly psychoanalyze myself and overanalyze everything— it still means I have really high standards / very low tolerance for myself, particularly with physical appearance. I do judge others too, but I know until I can get myself back on track, I have no right to, so...I’ve gotten a lot nicer than I used to be / been humbled in recent years lol 😝)
Avatar
Jeylien 05-Aug-18 05:20 PM
That was tmi, I know, but I don’t care. It’s funny... I’m definitely an introvert, but I have moments of very extroverted boldness. Like I’m on the beach, alone, b/c my sister was inexplicably grumpy and refused to go. My mom is busy taking care of my grandmother, who can’t be left alone. So it’s just me, and I’m honestly kinda lonely. But I have this beach mat that’s big enough for 2 people, I only use half of it, so I’ve almost offered the other half to groups of (similar-aged,fun looking) strangers who don’t have enough towels/etc to set their stuff on. Cuz I know how annoying sandy stuff is, and also, I kinda wanna make some friends. The only reason I havent actually offered yet is now apparently my mom is planning to talk my sister into joining, plus I’m located on a stretch of beach just for surfers no swimming, so all the people keep leaving for the swim areas as soon as the find out anyways. But maybe tomorrow. I’ll work my master plan to meet some strangers, tomorrow...

Avatar
Jeylien 05-Aug-18 06:13 PM
My mom thinks that idea of inviting strangers to share my mat is crazy so now I’m all insecure about it and won’t do it. Besides, I won’t be alone tomorrow, I’ll have my sister with me, and so unless I can find and buy another big mat, it’s not even possible. I guess I’ll just be friendless and lonely and bored again, after all.
It’s weird, people stereotype extroverts as the ones who get lonely and don’t like being by themselves. Introverts as aggressively asocial loners. But as an introvert, I definitely CAN be asocial loner and often am, but I’m also often alone, so after a while that accumulates and even for an introvert it’s too much, I get lonely. And being at the beach—a beach I’ve been to every year— loses its fun after a while when you’re by yourself with nothing to do.

For a short while I was communicating with a girl who did, but...I got too clingy/demanding and she cut me off and I think probably never wants to hear from me again. But she was also underage so I’m secretly and pathetically still hoping that maybe, by the time she’s legal and therefore I don’t have to worry about being friends or whatever else landing me in jail somehow lol...that maybe she’ll accept me back / give me yet another chance. Also that I’ll live nearby then and actuall be able to hangout and/or date or whatever comes around. Idk. I gotta get out of Missouri. It’s become...misery (😝 HAH) to me.

No, my family moved around a lot when I was a kid. We’ve lived in MO for 12ish years now and Iowa 5ish yrs before that, but I’ve never really believed myself from there or anywhere. Never fit in. Midwestern culture doesn’t suit me. At the same time, I’m biased against liberal/phony California/WestCoast culture kinda... I just hate how they all think they’re so damned cool / like their place is the best place and like somehow they own/earned the beautiful weather... But I also kinda hate heat and sweating, so all in all, I’m not very inspired by it. I love winter and snow so need to be someplace that has that. But yet I also love ocean/beaches, and wanna experience big city for a change (my dad hates urban environments so we’ve never lived there; naturally I’m intrigued and inspired by what I’ve never had)... All factors combined, I’ve decided to try and get myself to NYC eventually. It’s closest to more the things I think I want than most the other cities. Plus just the snobby prestige of THE City, you know? But currently I don’t have what it takes to make it there, so we’ll see.

And then I especially can’t afford to buy a crappy old used car with insurance and fuel, even when I would be home. Let alone get a new laptop (which I desperately need if I’m to start learning the programming stuff), or rent a room. Fuck. I just want to get away.

I think I’m ready to go truly penniless homeless broke, if it means breaking this vicious cycle and getting true independence/freedom in my life.
I mean, I don’t wanna actually be homeless though. Not without a car, anyways. I could probably live out a car for a few weeks if I had to, since it’s summer so I won’t freeze to death or anything. So I need to get a car somehow...

You guys are all really nice and I really appreciate how supportive you’ve been. You create some really good stuff and are very kind and inclusive and that’s wonderful. However, the more I learn about the safir and the world/s in which they reside, the more I see it conflicts with my own creative ideas and preferences. Incompatibility becomes more and more apparent and clear, so before I turn too nerdrage mean and cast myself as the intolerant and arrogant/hypocritical superbitch, I have decided to be proactive and remove myself from this server. That also means I won’t be able to continue rp, and I’m sorry about that — I’m sorry for having wasted so much of all your time and attention. But if I stayed here I’d just get more and more critical and vicious, and you all have been so good to me I don’t want that to happen. I plan to stay friends with those of you I’m friends with on Discord already, and if any of the rest of you wish to keep connected you’re welcome to friend-request me too. I wish I could be more chill and accepting like everybody else seems to be able and seems to think I should be, but I am who I am, and that happens to be an extremely serious realism-driven/hardSF-aspiring anthropocentric fujoshi/slash-loving moral-relativistic arrogant villain-favoring hypocritical nerd girl. None of which really jives with the Safir Alliance, and I can’t seem to withhold my compulsion to impose my own values and style on others’ creations, so I have to go before it becomes too contentious. Thank you all for being so good to me, again sorry for wasting so much of your time & mental energy, and I wish you and the Safir Alliance the best.

It’s really heartwarming that you guys want to keep me around, I’m flattered truly, but honestly... you guys don’t know how incredibly harsh and mean I can be (I’m not far off from my dad; I inherited his harshness/overreaction-ness, anger and dramatics, along with his intellect and other various traits). I’m in a particularly harsh mood today, but I have a feeling it’ll stay that way for a while, and probably even get worse, and I can’t control myself or withhold my opinions well at all. I’m really quite rude most the time, I’m kinda proud of it even, I don’t like having to hold back. I’d just start nerdraging and hating on everything, and everybody along with it, cuz I connect people with their creations. I don’t want to dislike you guys, but I can’t bring myself to like some of the stuff you’ve created and I know that’s painful in itself so I need to remove myself before I make it worse. I’m not unfriending anybody, so there’s still dm’s, and I’m in the Comfy Worldbuilding server, and might even make a server of my own eventually for xznvrs & related which of course you’d all be welcome to join. I know that seems really selfish of me...buuut I guess I’m a narcissist so, that’s how it is 😝

Āirumāli words of the now: ážar n., n., anim. the third sex of safir, varyingly referred to in English as “hermaphrodite”, “intersex“, and “gynandromorph” ážaras adj. of or pertaining to the third sex of safir, varyingly referred to in English as “hermaphrodite”, “intersex“, and “gynandromorph” English words of the now: azhar n. (1) a safir of the third sex (2, controversial) a non-safir intersex person (edited)
will personally henceforth refer exclusively to such safir with the term “azhar”, as “hermaphrodite” is considered offensive by intersex people

Aigwērion Mismar is a female safir who was born in the port city of Qalani 118 years ago. She's 6'4" with knee-length straight brown hair and green eyes. She is a pacifist, and would fall; into either the ISFJ or INFJ Myers-Briggs personality types; additionally, she loathes humans after her first planeswalk to KTK!Tarkir. She is electrokinetic, and her telekinesis is more powerful than her telepathy. Her most prized possession is a dragon's-claw necklace. She still has nightmares about an encounter with a dreamweaver (giant sapient psionic spider) firebender that did not end well. The last job she held before her ignition was as a librarian for a prestigious academy of psionics in Qalani. She was a world traveler pre-spark and comes from a moderately well-to-do family.

wonders if there is a common suffix that would appear on a majority of the elements of the Airumali periodic table

Good question
It's probably become systematized over time, e.g. all the alkaline earth metals in -ium, all the halogens in -ine, all the noble gasses in -on (edited)

Okay, two things: 1. Remind me which goddesses and the major subordinates thereof are azhar as opposed to simply female, and 2. What are the Airumali words for units of time longer than a year (i.e. their decade/century/millenium type units, although they're probably based on base 12)

Since iri appears to be derived from "tezàirìn", would it be possible to assume iri may be used as a short/affectionate form for a full-male father as well? (edited)
since you have "waìrinu"? (edited)
although you have the accent over different I's in the order
And I do like how the full word tezairin has clear roots from both the words for mother and father

What’s the technological level of humanity in the Alliance? Iirc the safir uplifted humanity starting sometime around 1700’s, but have they COMPLETELY uplifted them to a point of technological equality, or are the safir still holding off/keeping the best stuff to themselves? 😛 (i.e. are the safir still more advanced, or has that been largely evened out?) This goes for the other Alliance races too, I suppose. What are each’s superior/inferior qualities (and areas of knowledge/tech) compared to the others? (And are there any enemy/non-Alliance civilizations?)
Avatar
Vāstra II 02-Dec-18 10:46 PM
I haven't expounded on the tech level of humans. As for other species, digs deeply
I know from previous RP that qeegubmorein and coralfolk have achieved starflight
Named species Indeed the qeegubmorein used to run a star empire. If Ikeři has native sophonts, they've gotten as far as synth manufacturing. The rhelomians have floating mobile homs, so they're probably pretty far ahead. Bespons have gotten at least as far as nuclear weapons. Unnamed but listed species The cumbersome, fire-based, white-feathered race has antigravity as their major technological achievement. The graceful race that resembles the vampires of earth mythology have artificial life as their major technological achievement. The race that resembles the centaurs of earth mythology are dependent on computers and control a whole solar system The arachnid race is depenent on antigravity. The silver-spined race is biomechanical. The spindly race that resembles the nagas of earth mythology has their major technological achievements in chemistry. The green-shelled race spends their lives tied to a giant central computer. For more, search #alliance-worldbuilding.
The safir are certainly among the most advanced species in the Alliance; allowing anyone else to jump too far ahead would likely threaten their status as the de facto overclass (edited)
I haven't yet listed any non-Alliance species other than perhaps humans.

(Naturally I mostly wonder b/c the rp — curious to know just how unusual my guys will seem, how...shock-and-awe/threat-level, you know? I mean I get that the safir are pacifist but they also HAVE military and they’ve USED it at some point before so it’s reasonable to guess they have some level of militaristic self-preservative concern about all other sophont species. And if they’ve been top-dogs for a long while, unless THE ENTIRE SPECIES is, like, selfless humanitarian and all about helping the other underdogs catch-up with no sense of self-species-favoritism (which doesn’t really make sense from a biological perspective— I mean, there’s Darwinianism at some level in most societies, it makes sense for a species to be primarily concerned with its own survival and prospering)...idk. Just makes me wonder what’s considered threatening to see from another race/species, you know? Like what tech level each was considered not to have yet, so be cause for concern if discovered.)
Also, you mention the synths — so the safir and some other species have synths. But you say the safir don’t have slaves, they abhor the idea. So...what are the synths for/why were they made???
Avatar
Vāstra II 02-Dec-18 10:56 PM
I imagine such sophontitarianism is quite common, because communitarian psychic pacifists
The two main use cases for the early synths were telepresence and the doing of jobs too dangerous for meatsacks

Ok, so nobody has... biological synths / Bladerunner-style-Replicant-things (or Westworld but with equally biological brains, if you’re more familiar with that series) ??

Anyone else seen this show/recognize this guy? He's my current... well it's not strong enough to call it a crush, so it's more like a...squeeze? 😋 These are my fam right now, while everybody else is busy and my real fam away, and all other shows have abandoned me I finished them and it's too soon to re-watch lol 😄
I always seem to end up watching shows nobody else has seen lol
What's interesting to me here though, is how similar the personalities are to personalities of the crew in Firefly. The roles don't correllate but the similarities are still a bit uncanny. Makes me wonder if Firefly maybe wasn't quite as original as it seemed, or if it was just a phase at the time for space-opera, to have these exact tropes/personalities (Firefly was released a couple years after Andromeda iirc)
I post this random ramble of mine HERE b/c (1) Why not? Nobody has told me to stop yet. (2) it's space opera, so imo inevitably somewhat relevant to SA. Always good to know what else is out there, what has actually been made, and how it compares.

ST:TNG (I tried ST:OS but couldn't take it for more than a season; it was just too...dated...for me), ST:DS9 (or at least all the episodes that more strongly featured Quark, b/c he was the best part and honestly the only character worthwhile imo), Babylon 5, now Andromeda, of course Firefly... What else is there? What HAVEN'T I seen at some point?... 🤔 ... --Farscape. Still haven't seen that. Also, The Expanse. From everything I hear, both those are probably right up my alley, especially Expanse, but I keep avoiding them and idk why...I think I'm afraid of being disappointed. Shows I know to be more space-opera, like Andromeda, I enter into expecting cheesy, tropey, space-opera. Basically, I don't expect much. So they usually only exceed my expectations, by have any good qualities at all, lol

Ah, I've seen all of Westworld, haven't gotten to Dark Matter yet. Just haven't had the right feel/vibes... idk, similar avoidance story as The Expanse, I suppose. (Although The Expanse I definitely hardcore avoid most of all, probably b/c everything indicates it should be most aligned with my own stuff, so there's the most of this weird inexplicable fear of disappointment also maybe fear of getting addicted, probably some fear of too much overlap with my own concepts leading me to wonder why IT'S popular yet I'M/my-stuff is not... etc.) Oh, but thanks, while typing this reminds me-- I've also seen all of Battlestar Galactica.

It's my "maladaptive coping mechanism", how I deal with the loneliness/depression -- I just drown it out with some tv show. Often I don't even really much like the show, I just keep watching b/c it creates enough mental noise to mask the darkness.

Not everything here that's different from humanity or doesn't fit into the “hard science fiction” cubbyhole is a problem to be fixed. Relax and enjoy it. Please. :C I'm not that kind of person. I'm a problem-solver. I analyze, re-analyze, try to optimize. I relax plenty too, but that's not the same as ignoring something that has room for improvement. But yeah, I do piss people off with my attitude, my personality, the way I interact, etc. If you want me to leave, you have only to say so. Or you could always block me, too. Wouldn't be the first time. Actually it's happened so often I no longer take much offense by it. So if it ever comes to that for any of you, don't feel bad. I'm used to it, and will move on.

(Don't worry, I don't have intention of leaving, I'm just saying if people want that, they just need to tell me. I get hardass and I know I should probably work on being softer or whatever, but like... I don't even want to. I aspire to be Alpha-type, I WANT to be type-A, but I'm not quite naturally that way as much as I'd like so rather than cooling down I actually actively harden-up for the sake of getting things done. The brashness does cause many issues, so I'm saying I wouldn't be surprised if it does so here.)
Of course it's fiction. But it's also science fiction.
Without the science, it becomes space- or future-fantasy. Which is fine, to each their own, but I just like people to recognize and own it so I know not to get involved and ruffle feathers--most especially my own--by trying to make something that isn't SF, and that people don't want to be SF, into the SF it claims to be. (Note: space-opera is most definitely fantasy, despite mass media's misinterpretation. Anybody who actually differentiates between SF/Fantasy subgenres acknowledges that.) Sounds like SA has intention of developing into the SF realm, but yeah, that does mean certain things need work. (But, in all fairness, what worldbuilding universe doesn't?)
Avatar
Vāstra II 07-Dec-18 09:50 PM
It does appear to be causing issues here. Specifically soft science fiction. (I consider space opera a subgenre of SF, and "science fantasy" more or less synonymous with "soft SF".) That said, the picture I posted in #alliance-worldbuilding earlier today is close to what I had mocked up earlier and couldn't find again, if perhaps a bit top-heavy.

Like, I thought I was going to cosplay and stuff, vlog, do the whole geek thing. But then years went by and I got older and decided to actively dissociate from geekdom, and focus on the nerddom, and erase all worlds/creative projects that I couldn't merge into the xznvrs conglomerate. (It BECAME a conglomerate after that; used to be just one story, now it's... 12?)
Anyways. I have lots of half-finished I almost never completely finish a drawing pieces saved in my phone and various places. Sketches of xznvrs I can readily produce/present. But this isn't the place, nor the time.

Truth be told, most yaoi is ridiculous and STUPID and just...bad. It's just easier to say "yaoi" than M/M, slash, etc. But srsly, most yaoi so ridiculously ridiculous. Oh, and it's all rape prettymuch. Like, that's wack too. It's influenced my own stuff, I can't deny it, but it's still wack. (But makes me feel better; makes me realize it must be kindof a girl thing, b/c I'm not the only one who comes up with that kind of stuff, lmao)
Anyways.
Enough of that.
All this reminds me though... I should get started now on xznvrs Xmas pic if I'm ever to have any chance of actually having one to show this year... (Every year I say that, and sometimes I start, but nothing ever gets done.)

She's a minor member of the Firneramnese royal family who lives with her girlfriends (well, girlfriend and azharfriend) Ansin Mitēuřamae and Ilaþrikan Íssèla in Aňira instead of one of the official royal residences. I’ve never stated what her profession is, but she may well not have one? IDK

thought: there are nekomimi in the Alliance, that's canon, right? cuz then if I dress Jer right, could hide more xznvrs-specific traits, basically you could ignore the fact it's Jer/xznvrs and probably pretend it's just a random/native-Alliance nekomimi. But I'd still have to figure out my version of the safir first anyways, so...nevermind... it wouldn't really save any time adding a Jer in there, hah

yeah I remembered that. lol. Jer will feel so not-freakish for the first time in his life.... I think he'll be torn between loving it and hating it XD
I wish I had the necessary cables to project/mirror my computer screen onto the tv. Or had an apple tv. Then I could have Andromeda playing in the background while I sketch. My computer screen is too small to make that as convenient. (I wouldn't be sketching on my computer, I just mean it's easier for me to multitask like that with the larger screen idk why. Maybe b/c the smaller screen requires more focused attention to see, so I can't glance at it and back as easily? idk)

@Vāstra II - so is Seoni basically lesbian/into-female-types, or also into men? -- actually, no wait. I guess I should ask if she'd be into HUMAN men, and...bulkier...ones, at that, lmao. My strong guess is NO, which is totally ok. just looking for an excuse to have both forms of Jer, b/c feels weird not having his true/male-form in there... but I should probably work on getting over that, anyways...

But they're so large that their wings are useless, instead requiring telekinesis to fly, and the amount of food they would require would be ruinous at best for the other resident sapients

Avatar
Vāstra II 13-Mar-19 08:05 PM
I'm not sure yet
Given the communal nature of safir I would imagine that they wouldn't usually make such a distinction
“In law (and especially inheritance law), half-siblings have often been accorded treatment unequal to that of full siblings. Old English common law at one time incorporated inequalities into the laws of intestate succession, with half-siblings taking only half as much property of their intestate siblings' estates as siblings of full-blood. Unequal treatment of this type has been wholly abolished in England,[6] but still exists in the U.S. state of Florida.[7]” huh o.o

This is rather late, but from myself personally and us at Digibase (the community's mail provider) would just like to to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah or whichever other holiday you may celebrate. May you also have a great New Years as well and many days thereafter. If any of you don't celebrate, hopefully you got some holiday time to just enjoy anyways. In any case, may it be safe and secure.

Otherwise, they're known to be dangerous and attack those who come too close without being in a group. Since they're so hard to kill with small arms fire, that means that they're always given a wide berth.
And yeah, the bugs and spiders are definitely non-sentient on Ralgon.

You could have some sort of a hive-mind sentience going on.

I've stated before in a place that's now in the Bastion archives that the dreamweavers have a group mind, but there are a fair few Terran insects to which that or a hivemind could apply, and lord knows what alien insects would be like

Some are sentient (mostly older fire dragons) and are thus left alone.
Generally, as Ralgonian dragons age they very slowly become more intelligent over time.
Unfortunately, until then their damage potential is extreme.

It's also why nothing grows in the western interior, and also why the Great Swamp has vast barren patches.
Despite its ridiculous amount of water and ideal temperatures.

Is that due to what the dragons have done in the past, or are they still doing it now?

Scientifically, lizards bigger than komodo dragons and crocodiles cannot exist for two reasons: 1. Oxygen present in the air, and 2. Temperature levels year-round.
And both.

To make up for this, dragons have excellent abilities to retain heat, even (and especially) in the mountains to Ralgon's western interior.

Avatar
Cosmic Fury 10-Jan-20 03:34 AM
The desert in its interior also helps with retaining warmth, and the Swamp's presence on the mountain range's eastern reaches (combined with wide passes) contribute to very high humidity. No plant life exists in the mountains to absorb it.
Avatar
Vāstra II 10-Jan-20 03:34 AM
Unfortunately this also makes them scientifically impossible, but they've their hooks too deep in the world already to remove. Yay. >~<;
Avatar
Cosmic Fury 10-Jan-20 03:35 AM
For oxygen, it's easy to explain away that dragons have larger lungs and more efficient blood circulation systems.
And fire dragons generate their own heat, as do lightning dragons, allowing them to keep on growing without worrying about temperature absorption as much. This is why poison dragons recently got driven to extinction outside of the mountains during the wars against them -- they didn't grow and thus their scales never hardened to any ridiculous point.
Now, the Swamp itself has life (because those things belch toxic gas that kills everything in the vicinity).

In the wild, I've seen that territorial animals behave differently in how they control it.
Some animals like to keep anything that moves out of sight. Others permit all but males of their own species out. Others still keep their own species and permit certain others in their territory but attack predators.

So I'm curious what you would say your strong subfields might be in worldbuilding? (e.g. languages, economy, government, etc.)
Avatar
Cosmic Fury 10-Jan-20 03:48 AM
I've always been more apt to build on the general setting, overall. I tend to focus on the overall narrative the nation goes through, along with a few key characters in the context of that setting.
I get into government, but usually not to the point where every member has a bio behind them. Only those important to the story are named and numbered. Otherwise, I slowly construct it as I tell the story.

Daia is a stagnant lid planet (i.e. one with no plate tectonics) with one large continent and a world ocean named Syvrefir. You can see WIP physical and political maps in #alliance-resources.
Also, it has a retrograde rotation and orbits a blue dwarf (IIRC) star named Enāra, after their sun goddess. (edited)
Lessa is a moon orbiting the gas giant Lagnāmvri in the next system over, with mainly forest and rainforest climates. (edited)

Alas, since I'm going to be doing it regardless for quite some time, this does me no good at the moment.

The Safir Alliance is a space-opera conworld centered on the eponymous interplanetary alliance and the eponymous species of four-armed matriarchal psionic blue space elves that mainly runs it.
Also, what roles (listed in #rules) do you want?

Honestly the fact many high level freedom tech folk are trans feminine furries gives me hope.
thumbs_up_safir 1
Because I’m a trans feminine furry
I just haven’t the energy to do a lot of tech shizz
instead I’m merging my creative writing and coding hobbies to make RPGs as a small business
RPG Maker MZ actually looks sweet given it uses Lua and JS now
Itch.io has some sweet plugins there so I could code my own plugins to sell there too
Which will be sweeeeeet
Also gonna pay a steam deposit and use their systems to give out QA codes to trusted friends.
Who I know will tell me when bugs exist and shizz
I’ll also pay them in bug bounties UwU
Honestly I think QA folk should be given bonuses per bug found on top of their industry wage
That way QA actually gets shit done.
Of course the bug should be triaged and fixed too, which will also give the fixing dev a share in the bonus.
TBH if I make a full fledged game company, it’ll actually be a workers collective structured similarly to anarchy-syndicalism

Continuing the MoO2 discussion from #alliance-ideas : Before I would add anything, we talk about a non-modded, vanilla version, right? Mods like VDC sometimes change the tech tree and whatnot. The first point brought up was about using Stellar Converter to turn Toxic planets into asteroids and turning these into planets with Artificial Planet Construction. If I remember correctly, planets made from asteroids are Large Abundant Barren ones, so the question now is that what did the planet you blew up have beforehand (say, a Large Rich Toxic planet with Gem Deposits, along with all the population (especially if belonging to a race which can take Toxic planets well) and buildings. And of course, if you have the production + population capacity to makes those freshly made planets running. The second thing which was actually something I pondered is the technologies required for this strategy. Assuming a non-Creative race, Artificial Planet Construction competes with Recyclotron and Automated Repair Units, which bring more of an immediate advantage while Artificial Planet Construction helps more in the long run, assuming the game goes that long. Radiation Shield competes with Class III Shield and Warp Dissipater, giving another short-term advantage vs. long-term advantage situation (and if you skip Radiation Shield, Flux Shield comes really late, competing with Class VII Shield and Wide Area Jammer) Mind you, I haven't really played multiplayer, so I don't know how long does a game normally go, but it's interesting to consider options like that.

Shyriath 29-Mar-21 07:41 AM
Yeah, there are certainly situations where blowing up even a Toxic planet would be a net loss. I've only actually bothered to do the Stellar Converter/Planet Construction thing a few times, mostly because my dedication to that method has its practical limits, but I just enjoy the fact that the possibility's there. It also explains a lot about my view of the technology tree, I guess, that I almost always play a species with Creative. I'm the sort of person that gets really, really bothered by the notion that researching one tech in a tier means that I can only acquire the others from someone else.
Avatar
ExaRaiun 29-Mar-21 07:45 AM
Creative is one of those traits which can be really powerful if left to its own accord, true, even if it gives less immediate advantages.
It makes me wonder what kind of build do you usually use for your custom race. I have seen several possible builds for races using Creative. (edited)
Avatar
Shyriath 29-Mar-21 08:05 AM
It's been a while, but I think Creative was generally balanced out by penalties to Ground Combat, Ship Attack, and Spying, or otherwise by one of the first two plus Low-G World.
Avatar
ExaRaiun 29-Mar-21 08:07 AM
Yeah, the usual penalties picked up are a combination of these (or Repulsive), I was more curious about the boosts you picked up alongside Creative. 🙂 (edited)
Avatar
Shyriath 29-Mar-21 08:15 AM
Oh, that was more variable. Sometimes I tried to bolster research yet further with +1 Research or Artifact World, sometimes I would do Cybernetic just so I didn't have to grow so much food. I liked Creative + Unification, too, but not always all the penalties needed for them.

Experiences with the shots seem to vary so much that there's probably no point in comparing, but for what it's worth I had my first Moderna shot a few weeks ago. Aside from my arm hurting, I'd describe the other side effects as "diet flu": flu symptoms but with the dial turned down.

It would seem bizarre to me to leave one in that lurch… then again, Publix scheduled appointments for me to get both doses when I signed up, so I guess I'm biased?

Oh I have both scheduled
But we have had 5 cases happen on dose 2
This week alone.
So I may be given an informed consent.
And I'll do it regardless.
I'm in a risk group such that I can't fucking afford to miss.

I was two fucking days from getting the one-and-done J&J jab and the CDC issued a hold because six women out of six point six million doses developed lethal blood clots.
shocked_safir 1
Yes, that's fucking horrible for their families and worse for them, but statistically speaking more people die from birth control every year.
(I mean already-grown people.)
I think the hold was unwarranted.
"Yes, this is deeply concerning news, but given the scope of the pandemic, we are whilst monitoring the situation, not issuing any holds. We judge the liklihood of death-by-Covid to be far greater by many orders of magnitude than the liklihood of death-by-covid-vaccine, though out of an abundance of caution and owing to the fact that all of the confirmed side-effect deaths have been young women, young women who are concerned should feel free to reschedule for the Moderna, Pfizer or AstraZenica vaccine instead." That would have been fine. (edited)

To me, the only imaginable argument for a different chat system would be a total integration of a virtual tabletop with integrated customizable dice rollers and character sheet handling.
But I'd still rather see that gobbled up and integrated into Discord.

I already stated what are, to me, the most useful features of Guilded, at least as concerns the Safir Alliance. The different channel types make it easier to organize various types of content in ways that fit each type, and server subgroups make it easier to hold focused discussions about special-interest subjects. Other niceties include “replying to a message spawns a thread”, “you can comment on announcements”, and “voice chats automatically get an attached text chat”. Also, forums. Forums!

ShadowDragon8685 07-Jun-21 12:34 PM
Eh... I don't honestly see the compelling arugment, myself. I only went to Discord because Microsoft irrevocably broke Skype for text chat and tabletop gaming because they wanted it so badly to look like a goddamn SMS text messaging app and absolutely fucking refused to bring back even an option to use old instant messaging program looks - for a program, on my computer desktop. Discord was a great alternative then, and it's only gotten greater.
Unless Discord goes off the deep end and starts breaking its core functionalities to try and be something else, it's going to wind up like Ubisoft's, EA's Microsoft's and Epic's games storefronts: at best an "if I have to install it" because games I absolutely refuse to go without (Anno, Assassin's Creed) reside there, or that I absolutely refuse to use because of their scummy attempts to force them down my throat with exclusive titles (EA, Epic), or just flop and fail entirely (Microsoft).

@Vāstra II Thank you! I'm a bit of a conservative, I'm happy using an interface I understand etc (Discord). I've always been slow to try new stuff. Again, I'm not very active, so don't use my lack of enthusiasm for the move as an indication that it's a bad idea 😉

On the other hand, people who are in multiple Discord groups, have friends on Discord from various places and so on would need to stick to two platforms. I have lost too many friends while jumping from Messenger to Skype and from Skype to Discord, so I cannot wholeheartedly support this decision.

I agree with this and the friend loss. My main reasoning for moving to Guilded is also somewhat practical as I'm incredibly disappointed that they are shoehorning things that would have been base product into nitro in desperation. Features that are not only free in Guilded, but blatantly ripped. Hell Guilded has a ton of nitro features for base, also a patron competitor.
And adoption is always a huge hurdle
Hence why I will mainline both at least. I mean people mainline FB and Twitter. Guilded seems more like a community software than a straight up IM app anyway.

You know, the way you interpreted the question "What is the cycle of life and death in your world?" makes sense in light of the other questions... when I first looked at the wording of the question, I'd thought it was asking about the afterlife, rebirth, that sort of thing.

FINALLY getting around to getting my roles back again (I would've done it a lot sooner except I rarely use my computer for Discord, almost always phone, since when I'm on my computer I'm usually using it all for doing renders and such, don't want to over-tax the system more than I already do with extra apps open lol)... Could somebody give a summary of what the different interest groups are for??

That name seems familiar
Like a half forgotten dream on a lost planet
Orbiting a long forgotten star, a relic of the former colonies of the Alliance, and the Wrymish Assembly
A place where a small polar nation almost became its namesake before falling before the external pressures of an outsider universe
It's a shame too. Said nation had promise in the arena of association football in that planet full of bloodlust.
Digital archaeologists uncovered an old meme from the defeat to a country named flanders.
An intercontinental playoff, for the nation's first campaign for the world football cup
apparently they were to host the 2019 edition before... the fall
as for why they used a calendar from not even the same universe? we have no idea
All we know is that despite the name, Vyktory never tasted true victory.

Anyway enough waxing lyrical about Micras memories

So so happy I don’t have to get up that early tomorrow! Lol (edited)
I’ve always been super nocturnal though, so I am a little surprised everybody is sleeping so “early” on a Saturday 😆
Feeling the itch to rp, but as usual, only the kind nobody’s ever interested in anyways, and the craving left unsatisfied will probably pass by tomorrow anyways so... LE SIGH I guess I’ll just go listen to an audiobook or something...

Honestly though, if you're using hands/fingers for more direct computer control, I like the method with the gloves they used in Minority Report. Maybe something like this could be an older version, earlier technological evolutionary step, in a system like that though.

@Aidan The Safir Alliance as polsim is an idea that ran its course a while ago and is currently on ice, but in its main member country, Firnerámnen, the popular branch of the legislature is elected by successive tiers of lower legislatures, like the panchayat system in Nepal or the Tribunat of Napoléonic France

Of the alignment, that no member shall outshine the others (politely ignoring the reality that the safir are first among equals).

Some of the other servers I've been on get a lot of hi-byes. I have to assume that it's because nothing's actively going on for the five seconds they hang on, but I never quite understood the expectation for instant gratification from a Discord (or Guilded, or IRC) channel. Unless a community is fairly big, there's gonna periods when nothing's happening. (Which frankly I'm happy with, because if there's just nonstop talk happening 24/7, there's too much to keep up with.)

I just got back from my surgeon. He said I can walk with a boot now, and my goal is to be out of the boot by the time I see him again in late February. I'm also gonna start going to PT and outpatient rehab.

They can’t go to classes or prison jobs, and they don’t have tablets or televisions. But they do have radios.

When I started my weight loss quest in April, I weighed 593 lb (269 kg). I just got home from my doctor, where I weighed in at… 🥁 🥁 🥁 🥁 🥁 491.6 lb (223 kg). I can't even remember the last time I was sub-500. 😮

having shuffled his way to some heavy metal imagines a metalhead safir headbanging. Given that uterine safir stereotypically have floor-length hair, he thinks this an amusing visual.

@Ketsuban To give you the same advice I gave Ed: it might be a good idea to create another server with this alt and have people join it. My friend who had this happen had his server deleted out from under him, and while your attacker doesn't seem to be in any hurry to do that, it might be wise to have a backup already in place in case that changes.

I have the Guilded server, but uptake there is kinda meh
Avatar
Shyriath 17-Jan-22 10:15 PM
Yeah. I'd love for this to move there, but... shrug_safir
The same thing occurred to Ed, but there are just too many people who wouldn't go there, or keep up with it if they did.
