Taming time, methinks

[Ultimuh]

I propose we look to the stars, in order to foretell what the future might hold for our tribe.
Or perhaps as a means to discern directions. Or maybe just to pass time.

Name: Stargaze
Description: All one has to do is to stand, sit, or simply lie down on the ground on a clear night and look up.
Resources: Open terrain, the top of a hill achieves the most optimal results.

Taming time, methinks

Revison Results

Roars have been fully tamed.


War

Group of tribesmen go out to fight against Other Tribe.  Runners have Stick Throwers and Hit Things, and Riders have Pointy Sticks.  Roars run alongside Runners.  Group runs across Other Tribe near river.  Others use String Things and Chop Sticks to fight back.  Others have Snarls fighting with them.  Stick Throwers don't hit often, but allow Riders and Roars to surround Others and win.  Cannot yet tell where Others are coming from, due to often treading over same location.  Destroyed parts of something show rough terrain of area close to tribe using what looks like berries and crushed flower.  Most parts lost, including showing where tribe is. (Warscore: ??%)


Tribe

Many begin to stop calling tribe by name of 'Tribe'.  Instead start to call the tribe by animals that have been tamed.  Grows in favor to where Chief ordains that name of tribe is now 'Roarneigh'.

Weapons:
Hit Thing - Sticks and stones may break your bones, but the Hit Thing definitely will. The latest invention by the famed innovator Uggmugg, this design is as simple as it is beautiful: a rock on the end of a stick tied together with vine wrapped around the two. Now you can hit things with the power of rocks and with the range of sticks. (Stick, Rock, Vine)
Pointy stick - A long stick that is three Longbones long with a sharpened rock tied on the end with vines,it can be thrown at anything running away or used to protect yourself from anything running to you,it should be used with the hit thing. (Long stick, Sharp rock, Vines)
Stick Thrower - Long stick with notch in end that cups non-pointy end of pointy stick., Holding notched stick and put pointy stick into notch can make pointy stick go farther.  Hard to hit target often.  Hard to use from Neighs. (Pointy Stick(many), Big Stick, Sharp Rock)

Tools:
Hit Thing - See Weapons entry.
Sharp Rock - Sharpened rock good for cutting things. Made by rubbing and chipping the rock with other rocks. (Rock)
Rope - Wet Straws in water river a day long makes straws soft and easy to "braid".  You braid like "this and that" and make rope, like vine but stronger and longer vine. (Straw)
Pots - Container made from clay burnt in fire.  Base is flat and top open.  Helps store food.
Nets - A weave made from vines or rope that allows for better catching of fish.

Buildings:
Sleep Hut - A large hut made of leaning long sticks against a tree and tying them together with vines.  It is circular and has no floor covering. (Vines, Trees)

Technology:
New Bone System - A four part system for measuring items using bones.  The Bigbone is a bone equal in height to the tallest tribes member at the time of the system's creation.  The next step down is the Longbone, roughly the length of a man's leg  Smallbones are roughly the length of a foot.  Tinybones are the smallest unit of measurement, at about the size of an index finger.
Sharp Rock - See Tools Entry.
Pain Light - Bright light made by rubbing two sticks together among dry grass.  Very hot.  Cooks meat good.
Milling - Grinding down plants to a powder.

Tools and weapons used by one side in a battle may be reverse engineered if the battle was victorious for your side.

Warscore will be revealed when your scouts have found enough of their tribe for you to know how well you are doing against their numbers.  The three options for how you can choose to end the war are based upon minimum score required for that option.  Surrender can be done at any time, but it means you lose the war for whichever reason it started.  To get a truce, the minimum score needs to be 40% in your favor.  For complete victory, the score needs to be above 90%.

Memory Holder
By coating a finger or a short stick with the dust of a dead pain light or certain types of clay, the user can make marks on a surface. By drawing pictures on a surface they can store memories, so that they don't have to fear forgetting. By carrying a set of big leaves, someone could carry these memories with them and even store new ones whilst exploring. This should help our scouts find more interesting places and the rest of Roarneigh in remembering these locations.

 Hrmm... This or agriculture...

 Zan, are we going to be fighting the same group forever, or can we win and go back to the generation-a-turn thing for a bit?

[Ultimuh]

Ok then.. I guess I'll try again.

We need something to engage the tribe's imagination so we're not a cultural swamp. Hell, I don't think we even have cave paintings. Besides, stargazing will be a nice distraction from war.

On another note, I propose a citizen of Roarneigh to be a Roarneighlian (Roar-nay-lee-en), plural Roarneighele (Roar-nay-el-ee), as in 'a posse of Roarneighele just kicked your butts, stupid-people-that-aren't-us!'

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Zan, are we going to be fighting the same group forever, or can we win and go back to the generation-a-turn thing for a bit?

After the war ends, it'll return to the old format.  It would take forever to progress through history if I were to keep this in an eternal war.

[Aseaheru]

 Allright, in that case I suggest we get writing stuff right now, and after we win we get things like farming and stargazing. Also, the many, many ways to preserve food, starting with drying and salting, then moving on to smoking.

though maybe we could combine that with developing an early written language, thus:

Symbols for things
Define different symbols for different things.
Write memories down with them on any flat surface (preferably stones or flat pieces of wood) to never forget them and let other Roarneighele know about them by showing and not only telling.
Use pain light powder, clay, or berries and crushed flower like weak tribe.

Dank Weed
After rain, funny plants grow on logs or dirt.  Not berries.  Not like grass that neigh eat.  Not wood.  They are weed (mushrooms).  Feed to roars, roars act funny.  Feed to neighs, neigh act funny.  Eat it makes you fight nightmares and become brave.

Oh, cool. I can't believe I didn't find this earlier.

Anyway, have an Index while I go figure out what I want to vote on.
