/tikilounge/ - BIG KAHUNA'S Tiki Lounge

Although our ancestors tell us that the islands were fished out of the water by heroes like Maui, the truth is that islands are shaped over millions of years by tectonic plates slowly colliding with each other :^)

This board is like an island, mahu, it is still slowly taking form, and so is its culture

Any memes that would be unique to this board have not shaped yet, the soil is too young, mahu :^)

I recommend going to older boards, or boards that have adopted an ancient tradition of memes, to understand their history

good luck :^)

The main reason I made this board was to have a chan of my own, and to see whether it would develop its own unique board-culture mahu :^)

The tiki theme is because I love Polynesian/Oceanic mythology and culture. I also like loud and colorful kitsch.

If attempting to breed my own online anonymous tribe with its own culture and customs is what you would consider a "pustule of human consciousness" then I would certainly agree, friend :^)

That depends on it, mahu :^)

In some Polynesian and Melanesian tribes the priest has more power than the chieftain, and the chieftain is merely there to organize the tribe and to plan big expensive feasts.
More like a manager I guess :^)

To make you a spokesperson of the gods would give away my power, and in return you would not be allowed to sleep with any women out of my fear that the intellectual/spiritual caste might reproduce and overthrow me as the chieftain. If you do make a child it will be immediately smashed on some sharp rocks, friend. :^)

Also, your training would be very severe, and you're allowed to beat students of the spiritual arts to a bloody pulp if they fail their training.
The Aurioi of Tahiti for example, communicated the message of the gods through singing and dancing, and were in the position to even criticize the chieftain. However, as soon as one of the singers sang out of tune they would get beaten to death by the other singers.

Let's just say it depends on which tribal political caste system I will base our tribe :^)

There's still a lot to be done, we will also need a caste of warriors/assassins to keep our feuds going, and a menstrual hut for the women to bleed and complain in :^)
