Research towards power accepted.

In that regard researchers have brought up several potential with either processed biofuel or generators requiring biofuel, electricity, batteries, energy cells, or power cells.

They claim creating a basic biofuel still shouldn't be too hard but it wont be able to handle harsher organics.

A few meanwhile brought up building some basic steam powered generators and relying upon lumber sources for basic needs.

Depends on the quality and processing power you want to produce said biofuel.

Basically biofuel is a very...broad category that basically includes everything that is based upon organic substances to provide fueling.

Fossil fuels are included within it.

Plan of action then in my opinion is as follows:
>Set up steam generator

Tends to happen when your dealing with monsters, freaks, outsider invasions, and super humans for a long ass time. Especially in regards to bloodlines that form that can contain actual 'legit' power. Of course there is the possibility of it spontaneously forming or being created...however that is largely left up to mere chance.

Bloodlines so to speak if properly tended to stack the deck and odds heavily in their favor.

From stronger bodies, to sick minds, and even magic or more the blood may contain.

This unsurprisingly had disastrous consequences as we would see it in their develop of philosophy, ideology, politics, rhetoric, and beliefs. They had to deal with actual legit divine rights and more.

Even worst the party was corrupting it beyond belief.

The Reds basically were pissed about this and when their shit collapsed they pulled some cards to come back at a later date when it 'should' be possible and their goal was to insure it happened with the people.

Too bad some overshot it.

In ancient days, the Blackwoods were located in close proximity to nearby super powers, empires and kingdoms and great nationstates, all of which felt like the tiny strip of trees and jungle belonged to them.

The Blackwoods have a strong national and ethnic identity, tying into their history, for that reason they formed the Republic, a singular entity that spoke for itself, the Blackwoods are a free and independent people. True, their leaders and methods have been exceedingly harsh, and you might consider them somewhat as socialistic or dictator in nature, but never divided.

And for good reason, the nearby powers have always wanted to annex or take in the Blackwoods as their own. Sendnig in all the advanced technology and invasion forces they could muster. But time and again, these forest dwellers have turned back their armies and their occupations if but thanks to one thing.

Their relationship with nature, and their animals.

They LIVE the forest, they know it just as their fathers knew it for generations, fighting alongside their animal companions, it was their blending into the trees and surroundings that helped them maintain their independence and their precious republic.

Everyone lives for the republic, everyone fights for the republic, and everyone dies for the republic.

But if there was always, always, always one thing the republic needed it was a guy in charge who knew what he was doing.

The President HAD to be a man who wasn't willing to execute or rid of those who posed a threat to the state, who could make the hard choices, and who if the nation was headed for disaster can and would take the reigns.

He'd be someone who'd slap the shit out of anyone who'd lead the nation astray and make sure to always voice himself in the clearest manner.

And the people respect that. Respect is more powerful than anything popularity, love, or fear could bring to a leader.

If you knew what you were doing, if the nation survived and thrived, you were worthy to be a president. No matter how bloody your campaign would be (and indeed, the people LOVED a man who knew how to bloody the enemies of the Repubic.)

Thing is though...your severely underestimating the war capacity of the setting's people.

You don't get it they have entire FACILITIES devoted to churn out clones to go up against monsters just for giggles and shits.

Their wars are basically countless legions of clones, super soldier surgical strikes, human uppers, orbital bombarding, and that is just the start of what their wars are like.

Wars are extreme affairs where countless clones are thrown into the meat grinder, where super soldiers perform surgical strikes, where the more 'valuable' humans are given special positions and modifications, where orbital bombardments raining down like rain.

Where each soldier is carrying a package of 'performance enhancers' to their very genetic level.

The sorta world where chemical sprays are cheap. Where advanced biotech are the norm and hence its weapons.


That isn't including the usage of psionics, magic, or super humans walking the fields of battle among all of this.

They said the same thing about the Taliban.

The Soviet Union, mighty nation that spanned a 1/4 of the world. Who possessed limitless industrial capability, deploying fleets of tanks, planes, mountains of guns and ammunition, who could literally swarm over a country with their manpower. Who could fill the skies with attack helicopters and rain death on anything they laid their eyes on.

How could a bunch of outnumbered, outgunned, mountain dwellers scraping a living in caves possibly stand up to the largest fighting force the world had ever seen? With bombs that could destroy the planet if they wished.

Rome had a pretty well-functioning republic several millenia ago. At least, it was well functioning if you were born roman.

Besides, insofar as even the worst tyrant only rules while he keeps the trains running, one could argue ALL forms of government are republics, just with more or less efficient voting systems.

For our republic I imagined a situation like in the dies the fire novels, where the ruler makes a public appearance at midwinter, the people cheer, and if a rival goes up to be elected, they throw moldy cabbage. Unless the ruler done fucked up, in which case they cheer louder and get a new ruler.

Constantly living in a theatre of war, making just enough difference to keep any side from conquering your home permanently and keeping a delicate balance between different factions so they'd rather pay you not to fight than expose themselves coming after you, would make any group sneaky and tough as badger-owles.

Fair enough. I'm just pointing out, if you say their ideology is a couple millenia behind ours, that doesn't preclude a republic. Or even a true democracy if you go back to ancient greece. It's amazing how sophisticated a society can get if you exclude enough people.

Right, actions! Those are a thing. I vote we research anaerobic digesters. Put our shit - and our animal's shit - to good use. Maybe the jail will let us take their shit off their hands for a modest fee also.

As far as actions go I say we have rats explore every vent, pip, and hole they can find in the train area. So we can find hidden evil things of hidden supplys

I might be talking out of my ass here, but what do you guys think of this? The Blackwood natives were just a loose collection of tribes, all sharing a common ancestor but constantly fighting each other, depending on who was hiring them to conquer the forest.

keep in mind, communism works pretty well in very small groups.

Each group had a de facto leader, who was chosen by his or her peers.

El Presidente was just the first guy in twenty generations badass enough to get several of these tribes to choose him as their leader.

I'm not really liking the hole communism thing. It might work in small numbers but as we expand it would create more problems. Also it makes trade with other settlements more difficult.

>>36149830

Coming from Memor quest, Hivemind really is superior form of government, dare say the most superior, but we don't have the Psi-capability for it.

How would we go about implementing a beemind without an actual hive mind?

>>36149877
We could do that.

Or, an alternative suggestion, we could model it off wolves. Ever hear of superpacks? Basically, wolves get really well organized the larger the packs get. Of course, they tend to run out of food. But because they're inherently co operative, they don't work at cross purposes the way large human organizations do. If the blackwood republic is better at co operation than the average human, we might have a kind of successful collectivism.

Actually only at most half of them started out that way.

the two joke heroes were Jenny who was supposed to be a joke regarding /tg/ and their little girls.

instead ended up with a utterly ruthless bad ass monster CEO of Umbra.

...TOTALLY wasn't supposed to turn out that way...but it just sorta happened.

Glowyjoe was the other one meant to be a joke.

Dice however did not agree.

Glowyjoe went from funny joke character to immortal(boy did I try to kill him) mary sue(Dice made it so despite my disagreement).

Faction wise the only one was Red Army who were a rip off joke on commies, nazis, and fascist.

They however ended up much more then that and are actually a pretty deep group of what would turn out to be major badasses(no joke I rolled to see how well they would perform despite the massive penalties and bonuses for the Krulsade they fought them to an utter standstill aka a tie happened of all fucking things). The krulsade would of actually been better of if they had lost in the long run. Red Army didn't agree.
Its weird how that can turn out. i am sure there are some others including I suppose Umbra but that wasn't a joke unlike the CEO of a certain remnant. What inspired me for Umbra are basically all the villain corps dialed up to 11 and with a dash of special spice thrown in for good measure.
Any others I am forgetting?

Basically Red Army was supposed to be a joke faction.

dice however decreed they would be such bad ass sons of bitches that despite all the shit they would go through and already been through already(which was a lot holy shit dice HATED these guys). That while on their last fucking breath with broken knees, sick, and out of ammo they would STILL slap the shit out of the Krulsade.

in fact they would slap their shit SO hard that they would be driven to a stands still and forced into a grueling grind fest.

Seriously though the fucking red army was on their very last legs when they faced off against the fresh Krulsade with their impeccable timing and bad arse leadership.

STILL wasn't even to stop them much less crush the Reds.

The even made me take a much closer look at them and examine the ideologies, setting, and development. That was when I realized some truths that I had missed in regards to Red Army.

Red Army has a faction was actually really fucking deep despite the 'joke'.

They are disenfranchised elite.

They are the true believers.

They are ones who believe in the people above all.

They are the ones who belief in proper befitting leadership.

They managed to put aside their differences and acknowledged their flaws. Commenced to work together once they realized their dreams could not yet come true until later(when tech would allow for it).

So that is what they did.

They went to sleep until that day.

Upon the day they woke up however...they found the Post Fall. Some even woke up during it. Upon realizing what was happening they fought tooth and nail for the people, their believes, and hope in achievement of their goals.

Now they have arisen and fight to bring back what was lost so that what they aimed for could be properly realized.

ok, how do people feel about the following fluff?

The Blackwood tribes were always hard. Living in the wild, becoming more and more like their totemic animals... they were in their element. If it weren't for the secrets that element held, someone would have just carpet bombed them centuries ago. But destroying them would have required destroying blackwood forest, and nobody wanted that. Besides... a few tribes were hardly a threat. They killed each other more than any armies passing through their territory. Being so close to animals in thought and action, they just lacked the organization to become serious players.

Then He arrived on the scene. There had always been beekeepers among the blackwood people. It was a peacetime occupation, respected by all but feared by none. He changed that.

He came at a perfect time. The blackwood tribes were sick of taking it in the rear every time a more advanced civilization decided they wanted something, and his mastery of organization and command made him someone worth following. For many at least. The rest did what the Blackwoodsmen have always done in the face of a threat - they melted away.

El Presidente's organization is regimented and militaristic. Some chafe under his rule. But so long as they have a common enemy to vent their frustrations on, the people of blackwood will follow this secretive individual to the far side of Hell.

Previously of the Red Army who fell even before the Fall occured...it was noted a number of them mysteriously vanished but it was never investigated much.

Archives indicate those that disappeared were largely made up of the modernized ideology of communistic collectives. They had two smaller subsets among them noted a number of nationalistic purists and far fetched ideology known as socialism.

Caution is advised as though they lost in the pre fall they have somehow returned despite their many failures and rampant corruption.


forces made up...strangely are ACTUAL persons from Pre Fall with Post Fall auxiliary troops present.

Their equipment is...outdated but most reliable and sturdy. Disturbingly well suited for this environment.

Regardless of how efficient it is there will be some byproduct. Also how much fuel dose this thing make and how much dose the generator use? We might want to look in to stockpiling fuel.
