Sooo

You have your own universe for DC, right? How large it is? Is there any magic? If not, did you redesigned people with powers (like superman) here or you erased them? Sorry if it was answered

I DO though I definitely would call Gotham City Limits a *Batman* AU, not a DC one, because Yes there's no Superman or Wonder Woman or other Justice League-Adjacent goobers in GCL. It's Just a Batman verse and Yes there is no magic, but it's also not totally grounded like Reevesverse! Rogues do don ridiculous outfits, there's a clown woman running the counterfeit luxury underground market, it's not Deeply Serious but there is no magic just because I think when a Superhero thing has Magic, it should be ALL magic for the most part (I actually have an Original Story called Starborn that's also a Superhero thing and it's all Magic)

So far I haven't had to redesign anyone because the only Mainline Rogues currently planned for GCL are Riddler, Scarecrow, Mad Hatter, Penguin, Harley, Black Mask, and sort of anti-heroes like Catwoman and Two-Face. I really didn't pick out any magical fellas for mine to begin with, so no one really needed any redesigns! But also if I did, BTAS Poison Ivy is just a red-head in a neat outfit, and Mr. Freeze can just be a guy with some complicated medical equipment on if you try hard enough. So it wouldn't be too hard!

Glimmerfall town

The poorer section of district 1 glimmerfall town is the more neglected part of the district The town sits at the edge of mining operations, surrounded by rough, rocky terrain. Dust clouds could rise from the constant digging, giving everything a muted, golden hue

- the residence live in an abandoned mansions that once belonged to the capitol richest family in the beginning foundation of panem but who since then abounded their homes to go live in the capitol, alternatively they also live in small simple houses

- looming structures dominate the town like mine shafts, conveyor belts and machinery built for digging, they cast long shadows on parts of the town

- though they are seen as the joke of district 1 the people of glimmerfall town are tough and proud, children learn about gemstones and the kinds of it very early and in schools, they are also very creative and ressouful , some like to add glamour to their simple mining clothes like using a Gold thread for stitching or making pendants and accessories from discarded gemstones

-Life revolves around the mines. Everyone, young or old, contributes in some way, from mining to cleaning gemstones or handling dangerous equipment. The town wakes up early to the sounds of mining tools and machines starting up, with people heading into the mines for long shifts but Despite the gritty, exhausting work, the residents have a deep appreciation for the beauty of the materials they work with. One can find small altars or shrines in homes made of spare gold or gems, celebrating the natural wealth they labor over but never get to keep

- the children go to school using the train that connects the town to the school area

- The lighting is sparse within the houses, with old lanterns and lamps flickering along the streets. At night, the town could glow faintly with the soft shimmer of gold dust in the air. Despite its poverty, there’s a surreal, almost magical atmosphere created by the omnipresence of precious metals.

- there is an underground black market underneath and within an abandoned mansion that once belonged to a wealthy family from the capitol it's referred to as the gilded Vine where citizens can trade gold dust and neglected pieces of gemstones for food or medicine or other needed tolls and supplies occasionally one could trade gold and gemstones stolen from the mines but these trading business is treated with utmost secret as the miners caught stealing will be punished by being thrown to prison for weeks, months, sometimes it can last for years if the prisoner tried to escape

- there are also cheap markets that sell second hand or slightly damaged luxury items that didn’t pass Capitol standards. People would sell silk scraps, broken jewelry, or flawed fabrics at lower prices, allowing the poor to have a taste of the luxury that defines District 1

-Some people in Glimmerfall might use their mining knowledge to craft unique, handmade items from gemstones and metals. These could be simple jewelry or functional items like knives with gem studded handles, Which give the black market a feel of resourcefulness despite its humble origins

- there are also secret buyers from the capitol for illegal luxury items which adds a feeling of constant secrecy as Capitol involvement brings both higher risks and greater rewards for those in the market

- in the beginning of the creation of the hunger games the children of glimmerfall town were among the biggest victims and were considered the low standards of district 1 after careers became a thing the children of glimmerfall town rarely get reaped as there is always a carrer to volunteer for them and also it allows children of reaping age to take out as much tessera as they need without the fear of having their names called however this also caused glimmerfall town to be neglected even more as years went by though children from there can volunteer in the carrer system if they need to or want to

- the residences of glimmerfall town are of south east Asian and Indian and black descent contrasting wildly with the white and blonde majority of district 1

- it's actually not uncommon to be marrying someone from glimmerfall town though this practice is mostly done by middle class citizens then it's done by crownspire which is the wealthiest section of district 1

Setting Blurb: Hoppe City

Nestled snugly in the Hanami Planum, Hoppe City is the largest human settlement on the dwarf planet Ceres, and the de facto capital of free market civilization. Everywhere you go, after stepping off the Rags to Riches interplanetary spaceport (and casino resort) the planet's rich mineral wealth rewards those that were the first to claim it. From the many facilities for mining and refining what lies below Ceres' crust to the luxury estates and skyscrapers of those that made it big (never mind the slums in Refoogietown), Hoppe City and Ceres as a whole would reward those that would work for it.

As the inner solar system was being colonized by the three human powers in the late 2300s, ambitious eyes turned towards the asteroid belt and saw only opportunity. It was only a matter of time before the many construction projects in the inner system created a demand for resources that only the Belt could supply. The first ones to seize the Belt would reap the rewards. CorpEmp and the W.C.O.F. would dispatch a few expeditions to the Belt, and a swarm of independent miners would stake their claim in the untapped riches floating between Mars and Jupiter. The largest contributor to the Belt Rush would be the United Markets, and the largest of the U.M. settlers came from the Hoppean subculture.

The U.M. back on Earth was growing too corpocratic and libertine for the more socially conservative Hoppeans, and what available real estate there was was either too crowded for their tastes or would become so at an uncomfortable taste. Several thousand Hoppeans began to pool resources and capital together in the 2350s to settle, mine, and develop a plot of the Cerean surface, with the first families given stewardship over plots purchased by a secondary wave of Hoppeans staying behind to continue financing the colony back on Earth. Each family would be responsible for either mining their plot, providing a service for the other settlers, or develop for future use. Everyone also had to pitch in to buy military equipment for security. No freeloaders, no market failures, and definitely no Imps or Commies. Reserves could join the settlement proper, or pay triple to hitch a ride and disappear into the icy crevices to stead all their lonesome. C.P.C. gangsters were shot on sight.

The 2,500 families of the first and second waves (also known as the First Steaders) ratified the Covenant Charter on September 2nd 2355 in a rented Las Vegas convention center, affirming all families' adherence to the Non-Aggression Principle and describing in great detail what is and isn't Aggression. To help retain a united sense of identity, the founding families would model their colony's culture and memetics after the New England Puritans and the Scottish Covenanters of the 16th and 17th centuries, mixed with the stylings of their own brand of anarcho-capitalism. Three years later the first transport craft would land on the site of what would become Hoppe City.

For the next 500 years, the denizens of Hoppe City laid low mining and developing their part of Ceres and keeping an eye on newcomers to their neck of the Belt. The Hoppeans' large volunteer militia kept their colony and the rest of Ceres out of the Belt Wars in the 2600s. Likeminded groups from the U.M. would arrive and establish communities of their own, eventually adopting the Covenanter model of anarchist society. The rest of the U.M.'s subfactions would arrive to stake their own claims of the dwarf planet, with the Hoppeans giving them a wide berth, and wildly divergent Marketeers (NEVER bring up the incident with the Church of Randian Satanism) were treated like they didn't exist. Most individual miners would try their luck in the mines of Hoppe City, tripling the population just in time for the Human-Crystalline War (2801-2885).

As the Crystalline Aliens had a nasty habit of attacking any significant human presence, Ceres' population evacuated to the many underground mining complexes and rode out the war. Hoppe City's private militias remained on-planet in the event of an attack, but a few volunteered to join the rest of U.M. security forces to drive the aliens out of the Solar System. The aliens never touched Ceres, and because of that refugees would flock to the dwarf planet, tripling the population yet again. Most of the refugee population would be moved to the aforementioned mining complexes, they could either wait until it was safe to be relocated (especially CorpEmp and W.C.O.F. populations, and especially after fighting between the two groups), or try their hand at joining the planet's population. This refugee problem, and the threat of alien invasion, would lead to the expansion of the private security industry on Ceres. Many famous firms today had their beginnings in many volunteers that fought the Human-Crystalline War (against alien or refugee gang). The one group the Hoppeans were really wary of were the execs of the megacorps (MicroBucks, Morgan Industries, etc.) from the U.M. core.

Although they were sequestered in their own territories on Ceres, the Hoppeans didn't want the megacorps to start thinking they could run the dwarf planet like the rest of their assets. The descendants of the Founding Steaders (and a few Founding Steaders themselves who used life extension technologies) met with the megacorp execs, and stated that on no certain terms would Ceres be run like the old FVMEs on Earth. Pre-emptive strikes against acts of aggression were perfectly legal according to Covenant Charter, and it would be a shame if the execs did anything that would be considered aggressive. A few execs got the memo and drank the Hoppean kool-aid, or quickly relocated. Sympathetic megacorp employees would also subvert their employers' memetics with that of the Covenanters, bringing them more in line ideologically with the Hoppeans. By the beginning of the 2900s, Ceres and especially Hoppe City, would become the industrial and economic capital of the United Markets.

With the alien threat removed and their competition suborned, the Hoppeans and Ceres did what they did best: minding their own business and mining. As human settlement expanded into the outer solar system, a few expert miners from Hoppe City went to try their hand at establishing daughter colonies in the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn. An even smaller few went out to stake their claims in the Extrasolar Territories. The Transhuman Wars were the only conflicts of the 31st century that the Hoppeans would get involved due to --DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BRING UP THE TRANSHUMAN WARS OR THE ACTIONS OF HOPPE HEDONICS IN HOPPE CITY - NEVER BRING UP THE TRANSHUMAN WARS - THERE WERE NO CATGIRLS - HOPPE HEDONICS NEVER PRODUCED CATGIRLS - UNDER THE REVISED COVENANT CHARTER OF 3106 ANY MENTION OF CATGIRLS CONSTITUTES AN ACT OF AGGRESSION-- in what would become know as Refoogie Town in the first layer of exhausted mining complexes below the city proper.

By the rise of CorpEmp's 5th ruling Dynasty, Hoppe City is an icy jewel that seems to only shine brighter. Most of Ceres by this point is "governed" (a dirty word in the U.M.) in covenants similar to Hoppe City, and Hoppean Scots has become the lingua franca of the myriad communites in the Asteroid Belt. Ceres has also emerged as the Mecca for developments in brine mining technology. Thousands of fortunes are made, lost, and won back daily in Hoppe City. In spite of all their history and achievements, however, there is one thing. One little frustrating thing that comes to most non-Cereans' minds first when asked to think about Hoppe City...

How Mining Insurance Shields Your Business From Disaster (And Why You Can’t Afford to Skip It)

Let’s face it: mining isn’t for the faint of heart. Between Mother Nature’s curveballs and the chaos of heavy machinery, disaster can strike when you least expect it. But here’s the good news—mining insurance isn’t just a safety net. It’s your financial lifeline when things go sideways. Think of it like a seatbelt for your balance sheet. In this guide, we’ll break down how the right insurance strategy can turn worst-case scenarios into manageable hiccups.

The Risks Lurking in Every Mine (Yes, Even Yours)

Mining’s a high-stakes game. One minute you’re on track for record output; the next, a landslide or equipment meltdown sends your plans up in smoke. And it’s not just natural disasters you’re up against. Ever had a rookie operator accidentally drill into a gas line? Or watched market prices nosedive overnight? These risks don’t just threaten safety—they can bankrupt unprepared operations.

Nature’s Fury: More Than Just Bad Weather Even if your site’s not in earthquake alley, don’t get too comfortable. Flash floods can drown machinery in hours. A freak heatwave might warp rails. Heck, I’ve seen a “minor” landslide in Western Australia delay a project for six months. The fix? Know your terrain like the back of your hand and prep like a doomsday prepper.

Human Error: The Silent Budget-Killer Here’s an open secret: most mining disasters start with a simple mistake. A skipped maintenance check. A misread safety protocol. One client learned this the hard way when a rusty conveyor belt snapped, costing them $2M in downtime. Rigorous training isn’t optional—it’s what keeps your crew alive and your profit margins intact.

How Insurance Turns Disasters Into Speed Bumps

Picture this: A flash flood wrecks your drill site. Without coverage, you’re staring at months of lost income and repair bills that’d make Scrooge McDuck sweat. But with smart insurance? You’re back on your feet before the mud dries. Here’s the breakdown:

Your Insurance Toolkit

Coverage Type

Why It Matters

Property Insurance

Covers everything from flooded excavators to lightning-fried control panels

Business Interruption

Pays the bills when operations grind to a halt (yes, even worker salaries)

Liability Shield

When a third party sues over damages, this keeps you out of court

Worker Safety Net

Covers medical costs if someone gets hurt—because OSHA fines are no joke

Environmental Backup

Spills happen. This cleans up messes before regulators come knocking

Pro tip: Mix and match these like a insurance bartender. A Queensland coal operation we worked with dodged $5M in losses by bundling equipment coverage with a business interruption rider.

Picking Your Policy: 5 Make-or-Break Factors

Location, Location, Location Mining in flood-prone Indonesia? Skip earthquake coverage. Digging in Chile’s copper belt? Seismic insurance isn’t optional—it’s survival.

Size Matters A family-run opal mine needs different coverage than a multinational lithium giant. Don’t pay for coverage you’ll never use.

Reputation Roulette Always vet insurers like you’re hiring a CFO. One client learned this the hard way when their “cheap” provider took 18 months to pay a claim.

Fine Print Frenzy That “all-risk” policy? It probably excludes cyberattacks. Get every exclusion in writing.

Stay Nimble Found a new mineral deposit? Expanded to a riskier region? Update your policy faster than a TikTok trend.

Disaster-Proofing 101: Beyond the Policy

Risk Audits: Your Crystal Ball Before buying coverage, play detective. Map every possible threat—yes, even that “1-in-100-year” flood. A gold mine in South Africa avoided total collapse by spotting unstable bedrock during their audit.

Emergency Drills That Don’t Suck Forget boring fire drills. Run realistic scenarios:

“Chemical spill at 3 AM during monsoon season”

“Cave-in with 50 workers underground” Debrief over beers. It works.

Community Hacks Local tribes blocked your access road last quarter? Maybe because you didn’t include them in safety planning. One Papua New Guinea mine now shares real-time hazard alerts with villages. Result? Zero protests this year.

When Your Policy Needs a Checkup

Insurance isn’t “set and forget.” That policy from 2019? It’s probably missing:

Cyber Extortion Coverage (ransomware loves industrial controls)

Climate Change Riders (hello, unprecedented storms)

Supply Chain Meltdowns (COVID taught us all that lesson)

Do this every 6 months:

Compare claims against coverage

Grill your broker about new risks

Adjust deductibles like you’re tuning a rig

The Bottom Line

Here’s the truth miners won’t tell you: Insurance isn’t a cost—it’s profit protection. That $50K annual premium? It’s cheap compared to a single uninsured disaster. The smartest operations treat coverage like their best drill bit: always sharp, regularly upgraded, and ready to punch through chaos.

How Are Diamonds Mined?

Diamonds, cherished for their brilliance and rarity, have captivated humanity for centuries. But have you ever wondered how these precious gems make their journey from deep within the Earth to sparkling on a piece of jewellery? The process of diamond mining is both fascinating and complex, involving various methods depending on the location and type of diamond deposits. Here’s a detailed look at how diamonds are mined.

Understanding Diamond Formation

Before delving into mining methods, it’s essential to understand where diamonds come from. Diamonds form under intense heat and pressure deep within the Earth’s mantle, over billions of years. They are then carried closer to the surface by volcanic eruptions, encased in a type of rock called kimberlite. These eruptions create pipes or deposits, which are the primary sources for mining diamonds.

Types of Diamond Deposits

Diamonds are typically found in two types of deposits:

Primary Deposits: These are kimberlite or lamproite pipes where diamonds are found in their original volcanic source.

Secondary Deposits: Diamonds eroded from primary deposits and transported by water or wind, accumulating in riverbeds, beaches, or alluvial plains.

Diamond Mining Methods

The method used to mine diamonds depends on the type of deposit and the location. The primary mining techniques include:

Open-Pit Mining

This is the most common method for mining diamonds from kimberlite pipes. It involves:

Removing layers of soil and rock to expose the kimberlite.

Using heavy machinery to extract the ore from the open pit.

Crushing the ore to separate diamonds from the surrounding material.

Open-pit mining is efficient but can have a significant environmental impact due to land disruption.

Underground Mining

When kimberlite pipes extend deep into the Earth, underground mining is employed. This method includes:

Digging vertical shafts and horizontal tunnels to reach the ore.

Using controlled blasting to break up the kimberlite.

Transporting the ore to the surface for processing.

Underground mining is more labor-intensive and expensive but minimizes surface disruption.

Alluvial Mining

This method is used for secondary deposits and involves:

Extracting diamonds from riverbeds, beaches, or alluvial plains.

Washing and screening the sediment to separate diamonds from other materials.

Alluvial mining is less invasive and often done on a smaller scale, making it popular in regions where primary deposits are inaccessible.

Marine Mining

Marine mining targets diamond deposits found beneath the ocean floor. This advanced method involves:

Deploying specialized ships equipped with underwater dredging systems.

Using remote-controlled equipment to extract diamonds from the seabed.

Marine mining is highly expensive but yields significant results in certain regions, such as off the coast of Namibia.

Diamond Processing and Sorting

After extraction, the mined ore undergoes processing to separate diamonds from other materials. The steps include:

Crushing: Breaking down the ore into smaller pieces.

Dense Media Separation (DMS): Using a liquid medium to isolate diamonds based on density.

X-Ray Sorting: Detecting diamonds’ unique ability to fluoresce under X-rays.

Hand Sorting: Inspecting and grading diamonds by hand to ensure quality.

Ethical and Sustainable Mining

Modern diamond mining faces increasing scrutiny regarding its environmental and social impacts. Many companies now adhere to ethical mining practices, ensuring:

Compliance with labor laws and fair wages for workers.

Minimization of environmental damage through reclamation and restoration projects.

Certification through initiatives like the Kimberley Process to prevent the trade of conflict diamonds.

The Journey from Mine to Market

Once sorted and graded, diamonds are sent to cutting and polishing facilities to enhance their brilliance. From there, they are sold to wholesalers, retailers, and eventually find their way to consumers.

Conclusion

The process of mining diamonds is a combination of advanced technology, skilled labor, and environmental considerations. Whether mined from deep within the Earth or beneath the ocean floor, each diamond’s journey is a testament to its value and rarity. Understanding this process adds a deeper appreciation for these remarkable gems that have captured human fascination for centuries.

ROUTE 15: NOEL a Short Christmas Tale by OrneryJen

Premise: Two scoundrels try to save an adult day care center by crashing into one of the biggest Christmas Parties in Las Vegas.

Disclaimer: THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION. Names, characters, businesses, and incidents are either products of the author's work or used in a fictional manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.

Except Martin Shkreli. Fuck that guy.

------------------------

PREEMPTIVE

THE UNWANTED VISITOR.

There's always one at Christmas. The gold-mining ex. The entitled step-son. The nagging mother in-law. The meth cousin. Scrooge has his old bank partner Bob Marley. George Bailey had his guardian angel, Clarence. King Herod had the three wise asses.

As for me, my unwanted visitor was Danny Caspers.

He was a boyishly young scoundrel. A thief. A troublemaker. A thorn in my side. Danny had "art" and trickery was his game. He was a professional forger of Van Goghs. Picassos. Renoirs. He would hire foreign painters to hand-copy works of art that would infiltrate the fine art industry, right under the eyes of every international auction house and black market in the world. Today, approximately eight hundred million dollars’ worth of fabricated paintings has passed through his paws and right into the auction houses of Christie's and Sotherbys. As long as the paintings looked sexy, the rich were happy without a care.

His counterfeits soon pissed off some important stakeholders, including the Baltic Mob. So he bailed the art world, moved on to plan B, and tried a much liquid medium: Money. He tinkered with surplus press equipment he bought off Craigslist, formulated his secret dyes and ink and off he went making money. First Alexander Hamilton. Then Andrew Jackson. And finally Benjamin Franklin. He rolled hundred dollar bills hot off his rickety inkjet printer for several months. He was so good that the phony money infiltrated every underground casino in South Florida and Atlantic City.

Eventually, his counterfeits soon pissed off some other important people, including the Cuban Cartel. So he bailed the money-making world and vanished without a trace.

A year later, he came up with Plan C.

State regulations are fickle when regulating legal documents. Most forms are electronically generated these days. Tax returns, home loans, bank accounts to name a few. But there are more important documents technology can never replace.  Birth certificates. Ownership titles. Durable Power of Attorney. Living wills. There's a reason why digital copies won't do: civilization wants the real thing.

An original document of importance is marked for authenticity. A stamp of approval. An inky thumbprint. A signature from the original signer. But if the signer of those documents is incapacitated—either demented or dead—there's no way you can change or disproven what's already signed. And should a document that looks like, smells like, feels like a living will or trust, it’s difficult to dispute it when it magically appears. I assume Danny has already gotten away skimming a few inheritances; His choice of narcissistic gomers, rich estranged fathers, and miserable scrooges has been easy game.

Now that I told you about this menace, you ask: where do I come into the picture?

Well, buckle your seat-belts. This all happened in Vegas.
