Ancient Magic is magic in its purest, most powerful, and undiluted form. It permeates through every plane of existence, and can be found anywhere and everywhere. Ancient Magic is the pure essence of chaos; it's bound by no rules. As such, it can do anything with the sole exception of destroying itself. Ancient Magic is often inadvertently what creates and destroys planes of existence.

Ancient Magic exists in incredibly low numbers on any given plane, even deistic planes. This is because higher concentrations often result in the plane dying very quickly due to the random mutations of reality caused by it. Practitioners often find that even dabbling in it results in incredible amounts of power, power beyond what even masters other magics could ever hope to achieve; however, directing it is incredibly dangerous. Because of it being pure chaos and the low intrinsic amounts, it's nearly impossible to tap into any amount of magic from an external source.

Most Ancient Magicians therefore internalize a small amount of the magic inside them to act as a metaphorical spark, allowing them to use it reliably and at will. This, however, is where most practitioners die: Without a constant level of vigilance on the practitioner's part, the magic will wreak havoc, changing the person randomly and without consent. Even if the practitioner is ever-careful to keep a lid on the magic, errant thoughts can inadvertently trigger the magic lashing out and turning the thought into reality.

Lore wise, that would be... Difficult, cause everybody lives in a matriarchal society (Handmaid's tale style)

Im not opposed, it would just be very hard

Do you want to? Maybe I can like have a duchess revolt and trie to join you or something

Anatopen wrote:Lots of sugar and I’m not stingy with milk either

Hell yeah! I take a little bit of oat milk and a little bit of sugar, and it's delightful.

Tiralta wrote:And which bread is best with a cup of coffee in the morning?

Depends on the type of coffee, mostly where it's from and if its flavoured. There are earthy coffees, chocolatey coffees, and spicy (like spice, not like heat) coffees.

We have a very wonderful coffee that chocolate croissants taste *incredible* with. Or a Coffee Crisp :D

Say you said your country currently has a regent correct?

Anatopen wrote:Do you want to? Maybe I can like have a duchess revolt and trie to join or something

Would be cool, considering that a toddler is now the high matriarch.

I need to keep my canonically for a different rp, one that wasnt connected to this.

I just pulled some of that canon for this. Like, canonically, my leader did just die, that wasnt god modding

Sorry, I meant like handmaid's tale. Its a matriarchy, as opposed to a Patriarchy. Should have clarified.

Quick (and a bit late again) discussion post on Repeal: “Minimum Standard Of Living Act”. Thread here!

The repeal makes a few basic arguments against the proposal, which include:

[list][*]The target multiple ambiguous terms, which make enforcement of the target resolution ([resolution=GA#344]GA#344[/resolution]) difficult

[*]GA#344's Section 3 allows nations to create unrestricted monopolies.

[*]The target's Section 4 discriminates against multiple groups of people.

[*]Section 5(a) allows nations who led to economic crisis or inadequately prepared for natural disaster via mismanagement to escape the responsibility of maintaining a full minimum standard of living during said crisis by allowing said nations to lower such standards to a partial level, temporarily.[/list]

I think the repeal at hand makes sense. It essentially falls to both ambiguity issues and giving member nations too much lee-way, as has been the trend recently it seems. The more unique arguments against the target - that it absolves nations of any responsibility when dealing with self-made issues and/or discrimination against various groups also make sense. I do think minimum living standards should be extended to all, although I do disagree with the idea that a reasoning for a clause must be provided (usually that's given in a thread, not in the WA resolution itself).

In any case, I recommend voting FOR Repeal: “Minimum Standard Of Living Act”. Seems like a good enough proposal. What do y'all think?

Wow, that is a lot of messages.

Typica, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Junitaki-Cho, Tiralta, Anatopen

Perhaps if we do this again instead of double posting, messages could be edited? That would have the same amount of RP in fewer messages.

That's a personal opinion/request though, I kinda like silly RP as long as it doesn't get too heated and there's still space for the important things in life like bread and magick instructions.

When casual war becomes way too heated, tell me and my WESLR associates and I will... swiftly end it via railgun fire.

nah jk I wouldn't do that...

Or would I?

(No, I wouldn't. Only if we need a way to easily end a rp, will I step in and just break the escalation ladder.)

St Leone, Anatopen

So anyway, do we really need 9 rail guns to shoot at asteroids?

Surely there is a better interception method, right?

Ima start investing in just straight up nuking asteroids.

That oughta work, right?

Hmm, hear me out ok.

What if . . we strap the nukes . . to other astroids, and then we push them together and boom.

Two astroids in one nuke!

Its genious and foolproof!

(Just ignore the two astroids worth of debis falling down towards refugia) :D

I find it funny while reading a new issue that the newspaper has "1 kidney" written on it, which is my nation's currency.

"Hey, want a newspaper? That will be 1 kidney."

If your nation made friendship bracelets for the others in Refugia, what would it look like?

The Tiraltan friendship bracelet would be rainbow scoobie strings (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/5e/14/9e/5e149e42aba3a6f83a0c1a3e78159e78.jpg) with little star charms on it.

Amiyoka's would probably also have stars on it, I like the star imagery. It would probably also be blue, to represent prosperity of said friendship! Maybe I'd add some gold, only because I love the gold and blue combination. Oh, made with beads, too!

Seraph Space Systems!

Seraph Space Systems or S[sup]3[/sup] is an effort to create a constellation of 30 Orbiting Satellites, in Geostationary, Polar, and in the lagrange range points 4 and 5. Utilizing Ion Engines, making burs super efficient, while not wasting precious fuel. These satellites will serve as an Forward Warning and Detection array, designed to keep Refugia safe, from any threat from asteroids to loose debris. WESLR Space Command expects these satellites to cost around 12 Million Planets a satellite. Along with the Seraph Satellite Array (SSA), There will also be Seraph Missiles, designed to be reusable with a chute to catch debris, or can be fitted with a nuclear warhead in a last ditch effort to destroy an oncoming asteroid.

Expected start of Operation will begin early november, with the launch of Seraph 1-5, the Geostationary Array. After this, Seraph 6-10 will be launched, into their predetermined locations in Polar Orbits. Seraph Array 11-20 into transfer orbits, which makes orbital burns more effective. They will be used to burn out to either Lagrange Point 4, or Lagrange Point 5. Seraph Array 4 will also launch in a group of 10, making them Seraph 21-30. They will be orbiting in either Transfer orbits, or will be in Low Refugia Orbit (LRO) in case a satellite breaks down.
