The Importance of Land Acquisition and Monitoring for Sustainable Development

Land acquisition and monitoring play a crucial role in shaping sustainable development by ensuring that land resources are used efficiently, equitably, and responsibly. Whether for infrastructure development, urban expansion, or agricultural projects, these processes must align with environmental and social goals. As the demand for land increases, the use of advanced tools like land management software, GIS-based land management systems, and land asset management software has become critical for driving sustainable outcomes.

Can you tell us anything about the Creature Commandos? I read a brief blurb about them in a book of "Weird War Tales" with other stuff like the GI Robot and the Boy Commandos, but trying to google anything on them just leads to debates as to whether or not they were actually supernatural or some kind of science project.

Oh dammit, James Gunn's little Inglorious Bastards-esque cartoon just came out didn't it? Jokes on you guys though, I actually ordered and read the appropriate books ahead of time! You're not slick!/s

Thank you for providing the image for this one so I don't have to go looking for it. (I truly hope you did not watch the old TV movie this was made for though. My god this poster it the best part of it)

To answer the most pressing question, they're a science experiment. Buckle in because if you thought your opinion of the US Army could not get any lower!

The Creature Commandos were formed in 1941 under the auspices of an outfit known as Project M which was the pot the US Army threw money into with the expectation it would use them to come up with super weapons to end the Nazi threat with no oversight or ethical constraint. They were responsible for the construction of G.I Robot as you mentioned and one of their failed experiments even granted New York native Joan Dale the powers she would use to become Miss America.

The Commandos specifically were the brainchild of one Dr. Myron Mazurksy, a real mad scientist type with the pet theory that the tales of monsters and ghouls making up the bulk of human mythology were the triggers for an kind of evolutionary fear, his hypothesis was that altering subjects through chemical and surgical methods to resemble these monsters of legend would give them an edge on the battlefield. (Of course we know now that these stories are not psychological misinterpretations at all but instead tales of actual beings that really do exist)

The Creature Commandos were made up of four founding members:

Private Warren Griffith was diagnosed with psychological lycanthropy and so was remanded into Project M's custody where he was surgically altered into and actual wolf man with very little conscious control of the time of his painful metamorphosis. He had committed no crime other than being considered psychologically unfit for service.

Pilot Officer Vincent Velcoro, a member of the Royal Air Force convicted of high treason for striking a well connected superior officer. Remanded into American custody without any due process under British military law he was given the choice of a 30 year sentence or experimentation which turned him into a human vampire, forced to drink blood at least once a day and only able to stomach consuming raw meat.

Private Elliot "Lucky" Taylor, a newly minted marine who was nearly killed by a land mine during a war gaming exercise. Surgically reconstructed by Project M his vocal cords were severed by the procedure, his family was told he was KIA and Taylor himself was never consulted about the procedure nor was he allowed to leave after the fact. Again he had committed no crime and was not even unfit for service, simply fed into the mill for the sake of "progress"

and Dr Myrra Rhodes who, when operating upon a wounded soldier within Project M's compound was mutated by a poorly secured batch of mutagen chemicals, transformed into a living medusa. She was also unable to leave military custody and was listed as KIA, losing her entire life due to Project M's negligence.

They were placed under the command of one Lieutenant Matt Shrieve who noted in his later unearthed war journal a personal loathing for his "freakish" subordinates whom he treated with inhuman disdain. Providing for their needs only reluctantly and below the standards of what they would have received in a brig back home. They were sent on what were, frankly, suicide missions, managing to survive time and again based on good luck and the members' trust in one another above all.

A truly demonstrative directive, unearthed by a freedom of information request submitted by their families well after the fact showed that the Creature Commandos were under command from the highest echelon that their existence be kept an absolute secret from the All Star Squadron or any of its members. A personal note, written by a redacted command officer at the bottom of the ledger opines

"The long underwear freaks would just get their bleeding hearts in a twist anyway."

Meaning that the army specifically kept the Commandos a secret from the Squadron, KNOWING that the Squadron would object to the less than human conditions and expectations of the Commandos and most likely would have seen to their emancipation under Squadron protection.

As the war drew to a close, the Commandos were marked for execution by firing squad. No trial or crime was ever given as reason. "Spared" from execution they were sent in a rocket toward the then ongoing battle of Berlin to do some final "good" or die trying.

Their presence is not noted at the battle and their bodies, or indeed their trails have never been found. Make of that what you will.

Questions from Interest Check

Hello all! Thanks for all of your interest, and thank you for filling out the Interest Check! We still have quite a bit left until the Interest Check closes, but I figured I would answer a few Interest Check/Ask Box questions now, and answer the rest closer to the end of the Interest Check:

Is traditional art accepted in this exchange? Do art gifts require a specific resolution/file quality/etc?

Yes, traditional art is accepted! Traditional art must be shared via a high-quality scan and/or photograph. We do not have any specific resolution requirements, but as long as it meets the standards of art submissions (Minimum: Colored Sketch Maximum: Colored Full Piece (w/ background)) then it should be fine. During the event, we will have two check-ins, and if anyone has any questions about image quality, etc, you can absolutely reach out to me with any pictures they may have of your work!

Would AUs be allowed? if so, how would it work when submitting the form? For example, If I had an AU I wanted artwork of, would I have to explain what the basis of it was & offer artwork references of the designs if there were any? I would expect including AUs would really complicate things & it wouldn't be allowed for that reason, but I felt it was worth asking anyways

Personally, I think having AUs might be an interesting way to do this years gift exchange. Last year we had a lot of OCs set in the Layton universe, and I think it might be an interesting way to change it up with allowing AUs (We didn't necessarily NOT allow AUs last year, it just didn't come up.) This year, we will have several prompt lines that people can post one prompt each in, and a requirement will be all submissions have to have at least one base canon Layton prompt (which can include ships), just because that will make it infinitely easier to pair people up. If someone were to submit an AU, it would require some sort of pdf or drive file that anyone can access where people can see the jist of the AU with any relevant images. It will also require a short blurb about the AU (that is easy to read- please don't send an essay) with what it's about, and then (if the prompter would like) prompts alongside that. Again, I'm quickly mentioning that the prompter will be required to have an non-AU prompt, just given that it will be hard to pair people up with people who do/ do not want to draw Professor Layton AUs, but I do think its an interesting idea! People who submit AUs will not have a guarantee that their AU will be drawn, but it will certainly be an option that the person who is drawing the gift can take if they want.

If I chose "Crossover Pieces" in 4th question, will I have an opportunity to draw someone's PL OCs too (For example PLvsPW and PL OC/s in it)?

Probably? It really depends where the interest check lands, but right now it's a 50/50 about whether people would like to do just base canon Layton art or include Layton OCs. As mentioned above, I personally think it would be really interesting to do a gift exchange that allows AUs and OCs; however, it will be infinitely more difficult to organize. It really depends on how many people are planning on joining the gift exchange!

No, but we will require at least 2 social medias (which CAN include email) to take part! This is in case we need to contact you via other means. The social medias that will be included will include Twitter, Tumblr, Discord, and Email. The reason for the limit with social media is just to make it a lot manageable for us to pair people together, especially given that we are hosting this on Twitter/Tumblr mainly, and people usually enjoy being able to actually give their gift to their own Secret Buddy (which would require people only on tumblr to be paired with people either only on tumblr or both on tumblr/twitter, etc).

Lastly, I'm going to preface that we will try our hardest with pairing everyone up with the best person possible! Doing so is, of course, a bit difficult given that we primarily will not be pairing spoiler characters/games with people who have not played that game, but we will try our best. We're very excited to see what people create- we had a blast last year with hosting this on Twitter, and we're very excited to host it again!

---

Some smaller updates: We now have a little blurb talking about what a gift exchange/secret santa is on the website! Feel free to check that out if you would like to know what this event is.

We've also set up the Gift Exchange 2024 role on our PLGiftExchange Discord Channel! Please join us here!

Any new questions submitted will be added in a reblog from this post within the next couple days!

[roaringdargon]

I'll go ahead and drop this after sitting on it for so long for @spr-ingo. This is for "Alternator" (AU). A PLA AU based on Yu-Gi-Oh. Feel free to have fun with this idea if you want to do another version.

It is something that has been stewing in my brain for a while but has gotten a bit too big for me. I'll see if I write anything for it. So here it is. Have fun! What spurred this idea was thinking that Emmet would be pissed if some spirit kept possessing him to fight pokemon battles.

Nameless Warden AU

Premise:

This is an au based of the original Yu-Gi-Oh plot. There was no chosen hero sent by Arceus in this timeline. Ingo is still accidentally transported to the past by unknown means. It's coincidental. He is without any prior memory. And is gifted the name Nobori(because it is convenient). Is this plot convoluted to get to a desired scenario? Yes!

In this universe Wardens hold a bit more blessed power in their assignments. The Warden bands(or other catalyst I am open to changing this) connect them to the blessed pokemon and act as a catalyst for Almighty Sinnoh's power. It's not game breaking power but it is things like the ability to be somewhat in tune with the land and its pokemon or predict the future. It's not important. The point is that these artifacts are a direct connection to the primordial powers. Which one is entirely based on who they believe in/ wish to commune with. It is very personal.

Nobori/Ingo is chosen by Sneasler and comes into possession of a sacred band. He is not as adept with the power that is bestowed upon him because he hasn't had as much time with the clan's religion, but he was the only accepted choice. He is still great at his job with his talents with pokemon and instincts so it becomes less of an issue.

Shit hits the fan while Volo spins his web. It is a trial with many injuries, but the Wardens are able to work together and calm the Nobles from their frenzy. Warden Calaba gets injured, her sacred band goes missing and Ursaluna is dying. Volo gets a hold of the item. And uses that to further tap into Giratina's power usurp the Almighty. He manages to frenzy both Dialga and Palkia which destabilizes the Wardens' connection to their chosen deity.

To summarize how the situation is solved: Ingo is less connected to Palkia than his other clan mates and was always more open to the idea of multiple higher beings as it just made sense. He realizes(through various means not touched upon) there must be a larger power other than space, time, and distortion. If he could appeal to this being he could have the power to stop this and possibly contain the distortion in a similar way to how Volo had detained the two Sinnohs. He is able to gain the approval and link to Arceus(a very hard being to appeal to. See Volo) and, through great effort, seals Giratina and the distortion world away using the power of his soul. Volo is seething, of course, that this Nobody has gained approval of Arceus and is using that power to seal them away.

Much like with the Pharaoh in Yu-Gi-Oh it is sealed with his entire soul and his name (which nobody knows not even him) is the key. Ingo's soul, now with amnesia x2, is sealed in his Warden's band artifact as a spirit. His true name is already unknown to everyone, but lore keepers erase his given one as well as many depictions of him from records as well just to be safe. Volo is definitely the Bakura of this plot and was similarly placed in the stolen Ursaluna artifact.

Ingo has been gone 4-7 years. I haven't decided.

The Future:

(warning: it/it's pronouns used briefly due to lack of knowledge. Evolves to they/them then he/him)

Emmet is given a strange box by an old friend of his brother's, Shauntal, who stated that she bought this in Sinnoh from an antique shop because that's just her hobby. They saw each other while at a party that Burgh dragged him to. She says she just feels like it should belong to him, which would be weird if it was not a completely normal thing for her to do. So he accepts with little thought. It's a puzzle box. Perfect he loves a challenge. He feels possessed(metaphorically) to solve it that night. Finds the strange band and wears it with no thought as if he has always had it.

After a while Emmet starts noticing that he is losing time. It's mostly on the Singles line when he is tired and the battles are boring anyway so he pays it no mind, but then It happens once on the Doubles and that is a step too far. He investigates his footage and sees that he is still battling, but with a strange slumped posture and a dour look. The strange thing possessing him is doing well. Even if it makes him look a bit feral. So he is being possessed. He knows that the only change to his person has been that item that was given to him. He doesn't really want to get rid of it for some reason, but it is interfering with his work. He visits Shauntal and demands she uncurses the object. She is surprised that there is such a strong spirit there in the first place. It was dormant and weak when she gave him the box. They must really like him.

They communicate with the spirit and determine that they are just as confused and aren't malevolent. Emmet sets some boundaries that they can stick around as long as it asks before battling in his stead. Heck he might even let them on some occasions like on the boring ass singles line.

TLDR Emmet gets a new spirit friend and learns how to be close to someone again. Slowly the spirit relearns who he is thanks to his new friend.

Also Cynthia uncovers some Hisuian artifacts, including a certain stolen one, so watch out for that.

That's the gist of it. There are other versions I was playing with, but this is the one I am liking the best now. Also so many ways that this story can continue that I haven't really thought of.

[magicwithclass]

I recently tried tcgplayer as a buyer and here are my thoughts on the website. First, the marketplace is gigantic. There are a ton of sellers and you can find almost any Magic the Gathering card. My review is only about the Magic the gathering aspect of the website as that is my current interaction with tcgplayer. I have been looking at bulk reserved list cards because I want some more of these cards in my collection. The recent spikes with Bloomburrow led me to believe that there is still some interest in old Magic and I have a strange feeling there will be reserved list spikes and buyouts again before the end of 2025. The hype for new mtg is not sustainable. How many valuable or desired cards still do not have a serialized version? How many cards have more than one serialized version already? I think the marvel set will be the apex of this era in mtg and there will be a shift. I think investors and collectors will show an increased interest in reserved list cards and the vintage market. There have been rumors that a version of commander will make its way onto arena by the end of 2025. Could a new arena format influence the card market in paper? If they put a bunch of reserved list cards on arena and people start making decks using, them this could renew interest in older cards. People are going to want to build decks in paper out of their decks on arena. What does any of this have to do with tcgplayer? I was trying to buy large quantities of reserved list bulk. I noticed that tcgplayer has reserved list cards for pocket change. Not only are the base prices lower but there is no limit on the quantity. Website like card kingdom, troll and toad, and starcitygames artificially limit the quantity of each reserved list card you can purchase. That obscures the number of reserved list cards a store actually owns but also prevents buyouts. One person can not buy 100 copies of a reserved list card om starcitygames at one time and in one order. This allows stores to adjust the prices higher if they see interest in a bulk reserved list card. Tcgplayer has no limits. If a seller is selling 100 copies of a card I can buy all 100. However, tcgplayer has a different way of preventing buyouts. Since there are so many sellers, you can find 1000s of copies of any card but it is unlikely that a single seller is selling all of them. This creates situations where the shipping prices for the number of packages makes it non-viable to buyout cards as the shipping for each package makes it too expensive. Tcgdirect is also not a great solution to the problem. 50 dollars is a high minimum for free shipping but I noticed that even when I try tcgdirect, I often find my cards separated into many packages so I do not get all the cards I want. The cart optimization setting is also an absolute joke. I assume tcgplayer makes it purposefully difficult to buyout reserved list cards. Tcgplayer should also increase the minimum quantity number. Typically, I want to search for a reserved list card where a single seller has 20 or more copies and I can only set it to 10 or more copies. Also, tcgplayer should have an option to search reserved list cards as a group like troll and toad. Even so, I did manage to buy over 100 copies of three or four reserved list cards this week on tcgplayer. One seller was selling 102 copies of divine retribution for 10 cents each. I bought every copy! I also bought over 100 circle of despair and over 100 of Land cap, an ice age land. I just wish more sellers sold huge quantities of reserved list cards instead of having just one or two copies.

An Analysis on Card Games

I was asked if I was gonna make a Card Game that wasn't a board game as well. What would it be? So here is an analysis of current battle-type card games.

Typical card games these days have a couple of core mechanics. Permanents and Spells (Ala MTG.) Permanents are typically Damage per Turn (Like creatures) which do damage every turn.

While spells typically due a one time set amount.

Then because that's the core mechanic; the next is damage prevention or damage restoration. And then the next after that is using your "Library" or "Deck" as a secondary health pool.

Running out of library typically means a loss for that player, but not always. (Usually added to avoid dragging out games past both players running out of cards.)

So then you add damage prevention, health restoration, Drawing cards, Restocking your library, discarding, milling (discarding cards directly from the library) all as separate mechanics.

And then you get to the Meta-gane.

The Meta-game interactions start changing how the game is played. Instead of damaging a player directly, for example, you might have two permanents that "talk" with each other, and their interactions deal damage to the player.

And meta-gaming can get ridiculously complicated. But usually, at least today, it gets based around a single card interaction in the "Standard Formats" (or current set list.)

Some games don't have a resource cost to play cards. Other games building resources is a core mechanic. In MTG for example; You play a land per Turn, and each land gives you a set amount of mana you can play for the turn. Stronger spells *typically* cost more.

In Hearthstone; you simply get one more energy resource per Turn until it maxes out at 10. And then--unlike Magic; cards rarely cost more than 10 mana.

Though, even in Magic, players typically don't use cards that cost ten or more because competitive games tend to last at moat ten rounds.

Casual play on the other hand; is a different story.

Players want to be able to play the giant cards with ultimate spells. Which is how Yu-Gi-Oh and other off-main-stream card games were developed. (And subsequently nerfed because it got out of hand too quickly. Less like a game, more like: first turn "I win.")

So what is important here is that most card games are about resource management.

The main resources; Life(damage) Total, Cards in Hand, Cards in Deck, and Mana Generation.

Oftentimes; sub-resources are created as part of the meta-game. Energy Counters (or other Tokens) in MTG, and Corpses in Hearthstone.

In digital games like Hearthstone; Sub-resources could even include "poison" cards thrown into a players deck (and their opposites; anti-poison cards)

And those things are annoying because they trigger an effect when drawn, but not all the time. And mess with your deck totals by obfuscation. You can no longer tell by the indication exactly how many cards are *really* in your library. Forcing a player to memorize how many *fun extras* were added to the deck that don't actually count as *real* cards.

Week 2 Blog Post

Describe your ideal role of environmental interpreter. What might it entail? Where might it be? What skills might you need? (Keep these all-in mind as you begin to work on your assignments – tailor these to that ideal job!)

Another week, another blog post:)

Describing my ideal role as an environmental interpreter is a bit of a tough job. I have some ideas of what I might like to do one day but applying interpretation to that can be a bit tricky. For example, recently I have been really into the idea of ‘rewilding’. I hadn’t heard about this concept until a few years back, but the basics of rewilding is to take deteriorated ecosystems and uplift them by reintroducing things like keystone species or reshaping the environment to allow for them to reach their full potential again. Mossy Earth is my main inspiration here and they manage to be incredibly effective interpreters while also doing great environmental work. The video that introduced me to their team was their task of flooding a forest along the Danube River in order to recreate floodplain forests which hadn’t properly functioning for many decades before this. 

One of the reasons this was so appealing to me is that it seems to have a great variety of work involved. The team talks about everything from surveying the area to identifying which species in this location could benefit most to physically excavating the land which they wanted to see flooded. This kind of deep involved work is right up my alley, no project would be the same as another but they all result in tangible effects on the environment around you. In the follow up videos you can actually see the forest flooded again and how brimming with life it is! With a relatively low cost this small team has helped restore an ecosystem that was almost inert before their intervention. 

All of this ranting is to say that something along these lines would very much suit what I would like to do as an environmental interpreter - giving people a tangible understanding of what we as individuals (or small teams) can do to help the environment. Since this is a very open ended idea of what I might like to do as an interpreter it leaves a million options open as to what I could do or where I could go. Mossy Earth is mainly based in Europe but I’m sure there’s just as many hurting ecosystems in Canada that need attention like this as well. Now, I personally couldn’t see myself making a Youtube channel and trying to attract as many viewers as possible, but maybe something on a smaller scale, like giving guided tours through rewilded areas for example, could be a better way for me personally to interpret nature.

As to the skills I might need for this role, just about everything would be helpful. A deeper understanding of how ecosystems function would be the most broadly useful but skills like using GIS mapping software, finding the right kind of communication to intrigue an audience or sampling rivers for invertebrates would all be skills that would be useful in this sort of venture. In the end I don’t think I would ever truly be done gaining skills for work like this.

I’m excited to see how everyone else views their role as an interpreter and what other people strive to do with their futures as well! Also here's a link to one of the Mossy Earth videos if anyone was interested in taking a look:)
