Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

There's a few... Interesting rants about why this isn't happening in the comments of GaijinGoomba's video about simdates.

Something feels really off about this whole thing. I mean, one of the biggest katana movies on this side of the pond was Highlander, but only 9 years later, the definitive movie about actual Highlanders came out, and Braveheart wielded a Claymore. It smells a bit like the illuminati prefers European swords to me, which must mean that Katanas are better sheerly from a moral standpoint. Katana wielders obviously would have a resistance towards this obvious subliminal messaging...

Basically what inspired my post and more or less my reason for joining

Weird Roleplay Ideas You're Afraid To Pitch?

So, I started thinking about another RP concept I'd love to do, but it'd be intended to not be a long-running thing. The basics, though?

IC post 1: Everyone dies.

And all subsequent IC posts explain how it got to that point.

@Shorticus

This would require some excellent writing and story-making abilities but its a really interesting concept, reminds me of kill bill

I was thinking of working on a ballad regarding the death of King Trusis. @ClocktowerEchos As you alluded to it, I see an opening to introduce conflict...

@Shayd

I suspect it'd be something like Greek folktales.
Bonus points if you make it all in fancy language :P

@ClocktowerEchos

I like the intro, well done :) I also like the idea of posting as entries in books. It could help us put it together in a way that would be easy for others to pick up and read. Maybe even use it as inspiration for a game of their own. I like where this is going.

As for who's going next, I might not take my turn for a little while, got other stuff to work on, but I will keep myself updated here and call dibs when/if I have anything.

For now though, good night guys.

@AccursedBiscuit

Thanks, I'm just using textbook-style since until we get writing up, its all going to have to be looking back on history in one way or another

That said, everybody, what should the city and by extension their civilization be called? The Sarasaric is only meant to be a sort of primal tribal name.

As a word of notice, later on when institutions and political organizations are born, I might be using some heavy Latin-ish/Egyptian-ish words in them. I'm sorry but my only other option would for them to use an Asian-ish naming scheme which would sound ever weirder xD

I feel like this thread needed this...

Speaking of which, whose posting next?

@ClocktowerEchos
About the space elves thing, who's to say the space orcs wouldn't recognize kindred spirits and possible allies/cannon fodder in the humans and assist them in fighting off the invasion?

@Mardox

They wouldn't need allies, they'd need more dakka :3

Alright, made the first IC post formatted like the start of a page from a history textbook, hopefully I gave people enough wiggle room to expand on whatever.

General remind that if you're post is going to be close the time I described there would be no written language yet as that stuff takes years to develop once you have a very well established base. If you need some ideas you could have it be part of the textbook or a different textbook, an archeologist describing their findings or a bit out of a documentary.

(Also the picture doesn't accurate portray the landscape, I just put that in for some artistry )

EDIT: The name Sarasaric isn't permeant and the city name is left vague so people here can decide what to ultimately call them.

CHAPTER SIX: THE SARASARIC

_Introduction

-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-~*~-

Imagine that you are part of a tribe who has been following great herds and flocks of animals for as long as you can remember. Suddenly, you see a messenger from your aging chief who points to a great cliff face and proclaims that under order of your leader, you and your people are to move on top and settle the plateau above. How do you feel about giving up the way of your father and his father before him? What are the new advantages and disadvantages of becoming a settled people? Keep these questions in mind as you read the following chapter.

Of the myriad of groups of hunter gatherers, nomads and tribes, the Sarasaric (s-are-sas-ri-ick) are perhaps the most notable of them. They were a unique mix of hunter gathers and nomadic herders, the Hyden Boar being their animal of choice supplemented by a number of flocks of Ryzic Sheep. Between the boars and the sheep, the Sarasaric had plentiful amounts of meats, milk and tough hides along with seasonal amounts of wool. The unique diet of the Hyden Boar, consisting of mostly fungus and wild forest plants meant that the Sarasaric was never far from forests or wood lands; the Ryzic Sheep which they had picked up during their migration had to managed with what they had, a likely cause for their low population compared to the boars.

These animals would provide instrumental not only during the Sarasaric's time nomads but also once they would settle down possibly hundreds of generations after their enigmatic birth. However, it would not be until King Dahoris which they would settle down but even then it would have late in his life as the popular theory with historians say. The true task of leading not a tribe but a village would be left to his son, Trusis. As with his father, not much is known about the King Trusis the Settler other than he died much earlier than as modern tests have shown, likely due to a clash with neighboring towns or tribes.

What is known is the ideal terrain which Dahoris, and by extension Trusis, choice for the city was an ideal position, the Anolian Plateau. The Anolian Plateau was both large and resided overlooking a forested river and delta that lead into what was known to them at the time as the "Blue Horizon". With both accessibility to the sea as well as a source of water for crops upon their rich farm land, as well as the natural defenses of the landscape, one could say that it was the Sarasaric tribe's destiny to become great.

@ClocktowerEchos

You'll be making the first post, right?

@Vordak

That's the plan, should be up by tonight since I have to do some irl stuff first.
