what the world doing today

We're trying to decide if waoing should be written as text or music notes.

>>101622550
I would assume joshus also sing so how would you separate the 2

waooooo

>>101623482
Joshus communicate by wao-ing. Which is similar to how coyotes howl. So I assume there's different sounds and frequencies Joshus wao. Which if true then translating sounds to sheet music is much easier. And yes music is a language.

>>101625504
so how would you separate a "Wao" from a "Waooooooooooo"

>>101627084
With a music sheet with long notes and slurs between variations of notes. I don't recall what it's called but it's the curved line between notes.

Bad weather tonight.

>>101630184

Gotta keep up.

should draw the anatomy of a joshu

what lies beneath this specimen? Why do they only communicate in waos? Why are they seemingly intelligent but not at the same time? What is their thresh hold for abuse? Why do they walk on all fours but also on their hind legs? How do they grab the mayo bottles? Many such questions

I got busy. Trying to think of some more Loreli lore. We're a pit stop for airships but I need to ask how and why?

>>101667857
do any other nations use the airships

>>101669639
That's up to other nations to decide. There's also private ships not owned by one country.

>>101671095
seems to be an odd thing to have around if they don't travel outside the tiny island, hmmmm

>>101672973
Loreli might not be a good place to sail too. However it's in an ideal spot for airship travel. Especially for private ships on business trips.

>>101673314
should map out all possible ports on the map or some kind of flight map

Man I'll always remember when vnuganon wrote that story about a group of soldiers getting ambushed in the snowy forest and one of the characters was a Penelope expy, and there was a link to one of her songs in there, and I was stunning by how this beautiful singing was coming out of that silly voice. She's having her last stream today apparently. https://youtu.be/8lLQH9QRQcs
This is the story, but that song in the streamable isn't available anymore, I should try to find it.

not sure what the difference is, actually.

>>101682941
when I think colosseum I'm thinking stone pillars and shit

/ciao/ would probably one of those, but I think the /hfz/ one did too, iirc they had stuff like gladiator matches there.

I dont know much about the other happenings in the nation's since they were claimed then never talked about, but come on down to awat and eat CORN

Yea, he'd die a gruesome death before leaving this thread.
You got any maps of awat btw? That's kinda my autism

>>101696027
like actual sections of the nation to show the cities and shit? I haven't really thought about that, been mostly developing the main city that has watson industries which should be in this general area in the red circle. There's a lot of surrounding farm and forest lands outside the city besides that

After my exile from /nasa/ I've been developing Loreli Isle little by little.

>>101696753
Ye, anything from like topology to hydro maps, to infrastructure maps or biomes. They're really fun to make!
>been mostly developing the main city
That could also have a map, in fact I say it'd even help visualize things better for you as well, I think Inkarnate has a pretty nice city building page
>Captcha 8T0WN

>>101697424
you got a starting point for maps? I mostly go off from the map URL in the op though I never really though about height outside of the one cold area in /awat/

>>101696027
>Yea, he'd die a gruesome death before leaving this thread.
so true! Enjoy your visit. I think uuu and the two from vnug drop by occasionally, but lore production is pretty low outside of the steady notes from /awdat/ and Lorelei island. I've been quite busy irl myself, haven't lored much.

>>101698840
The way I did them was take a rough reference of the topology map in the OP, opening a ridiculously big canvas in CSP and outline the border on a new layer with the low res map under it as a reference (here I adjust the border how I want, keeping whatever territory I add roughly the same to the territory I take away, just squiggle away)
Then I took a topology blush I found on the CSP store and went wild with it, adding layers of height where I want them, again with the low res topology map as a ref.
Hydro comes next, and that one is even more fun. Always go high to low, combine tributaries but seldom split them into distributaries on country scale outside of deltas, lakes always have a distributary otherwise it's a salt lake.
With that and the biome map you can now start putting down settlements. You want them near some water source or otherwise important resource spots, but mostly water.
And now you have all the resources to start making small blurbs about every single town and city you have, you can start making trade networks and developing culture, build up animal territories etc.

I guess there are crabs now in /ggg/.

>>101701432
I'll try to act like I understand

I bet there's crab raves wherever /ggg/ calls itself now. My guess is there might be shrimp mermaids but they are far and few in between. Thoughts?

>>101712556
Also a bunch of mackerels, I believe that is the canonical fish of relevance.

Lots of stuff happening under the sea today.

what does your nation do in the summer season

slow weekday I guess

Case number 8: Amelia Ghoston
Timeline: ???
Occupation: Ghost
Hobbies: Haunting the locals
Likes: Singing, playing horror games
Dislikes: Sunlight, anti ghost measures

Amelia Ghoston is different from the other Amelia's that visit the great nation of /awat/ for this one actually resides here. At some point this Ame hitched a ride on another Ame's time portal and made her way here. Officials say she lives in an abandoned house in the nearby farm areas near the city. She is virtually harmless but is only ever active at night due to the sun making her basically invisible as compared to being transparent like she is normally. It is said she was an Ame that experimented with soul transfer and accidently left her body and couldn't find a way to get back into her body. She likes to scare passerbys in the area for fun and is virtually harmless. During the fall and winter months she is a lot more active outside, especially during halloween where her empty house is actually decorated to actually look like a haunted mansion and scare trick or treaters for fun. She is quite popular with the locals and people even visit her sometime. Due to not technically being dead, grim reapers are unable to reap her essence such as case number 444. Weirdly enough she can still physically touch objects which is why she has a video game console in her empty house. Watson Industry officials have actually retrieved her original body and have been trying to figure out a way to return her soul back but for no Amelia Ghostson is in no hurry to return to her body.

I'm trying to think what Grant's next project should be. I'm thinking restoration of some tunnels or constructing rafts big enough to carry lumber from the jungle islands.

>>101840508
The exiled Sanalite that fell on Lorel ages ago during its refounding. Decades before the aero ports for ships.

can someone help me find steppe/desert-like regions near Holo territories? I’m bad at reading maps

>>101844106
Sure thing, the main large desert that isn't inside another country would be the one neighbouring /gem/ here. Viti is a bit warmer and accordingly wetter than Earth, so it doesn't have a continental-size desert like the Sahara, but that desert is pretty big, plenty large enough to get lost and die in.

>>101844106
That's for hot deserts, but if you're okay with a cold desert this region west of /kanata/ could work too. There's the other cold desert east of /vspo/, but this one doesn't neighbour a holo thread. That one would be more comparable to the Gobi desert.

10

>>101844834
>>101844914
its kind of interesting how little there are in terms of deserts in the world out side that general region
its mostly greens

>>101848663
Yeah, if you look at the world map you can see that we might have had a large desert west of /vtrp/ like Earth had with Africa, but since Viti is more moist those coasts ended up wet enough to be forests and the drier climates like savannahs and deserts got pushed further inland and are smaller.

Since Grant knows about deep space age pneumatics I'm going to have him work with Laia on a super secret project to refurbish the library's ventilation systems.

The library is in danger. There are rooms underground that are not receiving proper ventilation. So moisture and mold is building up. This is why we need deep space age pneumatics to vent the library with minimal power.

>>101896690
how deep does the library go

>>101897242
Some hypothesize it reaches as deep as the underworld.

>>101898130
so only a fraction of the library is known? How are you gonna get ventilation there

>>101900177
It's the known records we're trying to protect. We don't want to disturb any tombs we don't need to open yet.

>>101900388
>hypothesize
>known records
sounds fishy

>>101903244
The known records are on accessible floors. The unknown records are in the inaccessible tombs and catacombs where there's no breathable air right now. The least we can do right now is fix the vents in the accessible floors.

>>101876694
I generally use the special brushes just for the inside topology, not for outlines of islands/borders. Those I draw in by hand so I have more control. It's pretty simple once you get used to it, but it doesn't hurt to spend a bit just zooming in on different spots on google earth to get a feel for how water carves up the land or deposits sediments.
I noted on the pic a few things that I stay away from when drawing in islands
>purple
Isthmus. Don't really occur that often, so I use them very sparingly if at all
>Green
Repeating patterns. Idk I just think they look ugly, tho you can at times explain them with things like impact craters or some such
>red
too wild of a coast. Water does a pretty good job of eroding rock away, and while on smaller scales you can still go a bit more experimental with it, on larger scales I usually tend to stick to making the shores more mild if that makes sense

Again, if you know what kind of islands you'd want you can find plenty of refs on the maps of this floating rock we suffer on, and it's also just real fucking interesting, did you know there was a mountain that lost an entire side to a slide up in Greenland a few years back, caused a 200m wave, and we didn't even know where exactly it happened for a year? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/IDxvcxzuw0o

>Case number 9: Amelia H. Watson
Timeline: 76
Occupation: Detective
Hobbies: Shooting guns
Likes: Her guns, shooting targets
Dislikes: Authority

Amelia Watson of timeline 76 seems like your regular Ame from any other timeline, but this one seems to be on a more, gun happy. She's always carrying around what looks to be a revolver type of hand gun and insists that she shows it off. She does normal things that other Ame's do, eats gluten free bread, sight sees, enjoys the company of the residents of /awat/ but seems to always want to go to the local gun range and shoot the targets with her personal revolver. She even tends to go to the farm areas and asks if she could shoot some cans around. Officials say she is of no threat to anyone and tends to shoot things recreationally. Locals who are into this sort of thing tend to enjoy her company the most and even invite her to shoot with them since they enjoy the company. This Ame is invited to Watson industries from time to time to test out some of the latest fire arms during their testing phase in the Joshu R&D section. Though she is usually warned that these experimental guns could blow her arm clean off. She seems to enjoy the idea of testing dangerous items. There is one time of the year during what we call "Heat Wave" season where she brings fireworks and shoots them up into the night sky. Its a big gathering for /awat/ and its enjoyed by all. There is also the case of this Ame not enjoying being prodded or questioned by the local officials as she thinks they are untrustworthy, despite the fact they are appointed to their fairly by our leaders, we hope that one day she can trust them as much as we do.
