New Civilizations [OOC | Always Open]

[Endem]

I got some inspiration. Is the post good? I will try to make another post after someone posts, I still got some inspiration left.

So, I take it, the post was neither good or bad? I'll just say it outright, what should I improve?

( Edit: I forgot to say thank you to Saxony, so... Thank you. )

I thought it was good, but I don't think our characters are going to forget things like that. They're immortal, it figures their memories will be as well. If they can regrow arms why would the neurons that make up memories ever decay?

I prefer to think Olivia will eventually forget her past after another say 60 years

Aleksander doesn't know that.

Spengler? More like... cringler.... cringeler... I'm pretty sure Caesarism isn't a type of civilization as Apollonian, Magian, Faustian etc. are, though. YRS seems like it would also be considered Faustian, if youre into that baloney smh

Apollonian I get, it's head up assery. Faustian I get too, it's decorative militarism. Caesarism I can guess as being akin to a plutocracy for the one, or a state who has risen to satiate an individual.

What on earth would Magian be? Im getting Jew vibes, but go ahead

Magian was his term for the near-eastern cultures - Early Christians, Judaism, Iranian Empires, Islam. The gist I got was ye old oriental mysticism focused cultures with their theologies and religion and subservience to God and what not, compared to Apollonian all-about-me and Faustian all about "progress" or accumulation or what not... Caesarism is more like an end-of-life phase which any of those cultures could and maybe did go through though, I think, than a separate sort of civilization all its lonesome. Apollonian civilization went through a Caesarist stage and Spengler predicted Faustian civilization would as well.

I think Aaron should remember literally everything. If memory doesn't decay like the body doesn't that means he remembers every single brutal detail of what is happening in China right now.

I know Grace did at least, it is a very slow process, taking years to complete.

injuries heal over a very long time. After a thousand years of injuries you'd pretty much be reduced to a stump, so injuries do heal over the course of decades

Eternal stumpitude is a fitting punishment for the reckless, I say. If you don't want a millennium missing a leg, don't get into situations where you might lose a leg!

Autobiography/Biography ( paragraph minimum ): Jonas was born in Auckland, New Zealand. His father was killed when he was 3, leaving him and his mother by themselves. They were able to survive until Jonas was old enough to get a job at Wendy's. Throughout his school years before getting a job, he was the "weird" kid at school. He never got along with anybody. He would constantly get into fights, but wouldn't share what happened.

His mother started getting worried about him and requested to his teachers in 6th grade whether he could have classes by himself to help him focus. The teachers agreed, and Jonas was given special classes by himself to keep him from getting into fights. He would be given special assignments and quickly became one of the smartest students in 6th grade. He was able to skip 7th grade and got into 8th grade quickly. When he got into college, he easily got into AP classes, and it gave him enough of a challenge that he wouldn't get bored in class.

Just after graduating from high school, he got a job at Wendy's as a cashier. He was promoted after a few months after showing his time management skills. He became a cook and raised the reviews through the roof. He made enough money that with him working a part-time job and his mom working a full-time job as a programmer that they were able to get a better house and living qualities. Jonas continued with school until now, when the story takes place.

Writing Sample: It was midnight and I was running through the woods. I wasn't sure what was chasing me or what they were going to do to me, but I knew that it wouldn't be good. By the way, my name is Janora Francis, but everybody calls me Jan. I'm 14 years old and I'm a runaway. Who I'm running from and why don't matter. All you need to know is that I'm terrified.

I'd been running for 3 days straight. I was wearing a backpack with food, water, and supplies. That's probably why my pursuer was able to stay on my trail, even though I'd been twisting and turning, zigging and zagging. I wasn't sure how much longer I could go, but it wouldn't be long until I had to stop. Suddenly, I ran out of breath. I couldn't go any farther. I was sure I would be caught. But, my pursuer stopped near me, looked around, and left.

Be aware that a civilization does exist currently in that part of Greece: The Nestos League

It was an author made civilization, highly favoring a scholarly class. During it's time, it fostered numerous niche inventions, taking ample inspiration from Mesopotamians and Egyptians. Following the red death and a brief conflict with the Imperium however, a great cultural and political schism has occured among many within the ruling scholar class - with splits largely occurring along religious lines.

I understand; thank you

To be fair, the League never actually integrated the Peloponnese, for whatever reason. They’re just generic pre-Dorian Greeks. I’ve meddled there a bit, and they got their pound of flesh from the fragmented League, but most of that area isn’t too sullied. Not that there -was- a vast amount to sully in this era tbf!

Conquer it to make it right.

Shouldn't they be pre-Greeks period at this point? About a thousand years until Greeks start invading... Greece... at all, I think.

Quite right. We don't really even have strong historical records about this point - an area where Commons and I constantly disagreed when his people intrinsically aped Classical Greece

You all seem very eager to die in a tsunami.

You just posted cringe! Five thousand Chinese soldiers with years of experience fighting bandits at your technological level or higher are going to land in Japan and begin conquering you!

>2000, and you can’t even hold your borders with them. The bandits are winning.

I have around ten thousand permanent soldiers, five thousand of which are central government army. In ten years I will have one of the most experienced armies in the world and there will be no more bandits.

[Orostan]

Also I have posted about Korea and horrific genocide. China's way of dealing with bandits has got closer to the status quo of give them stuff not to attack in many parts of the country, but the hatred is still there and the bandits are still slowly being killed or captured.

My next post will feature even more terrible crimes against humanity.

I will be landing in Luoyang and become the man China needs.

Would be funny if China ends up collapsing like Sumer did.
