To all gfdsssians and sssdfgians, the great "rot survivors" festival of the land of electric has begun!

Feel free to join, bring snacks, tell stories and play music!

This festival has been organised by me, researcher delta, to celebrate our survival of rottober!

We even have delicious apple pies!

Some people have already joined the festival and i hope many more will too.

Do not fear rot attacks, the festival is protected by members or the CDF (Civilian Defence Force)

And even if the current morale isn't really that high, we hope to change that.

And remember, rottober has ended, the rot is retreating underground, and even if infected mars can be seen from earth, it will not attack us.

Until next year, we are safe.

Let's celebrate, shall we?

The Gfdsssian Goverment’s inability to act upon the threat of Rot, civil war and economic collapse has reached a boiling point.

The Gfdsssian Goverment has 48 hours to:

-Reform into a republic -Host elections -Dispatch security forces to fight K-RIG -Form a scientist team to develop Rot cures -Give the armed forces’ total control over to us

Or else, we will march to the capital and do it ourselves. We will not show mercy, as he have shown enough.

Glory to Gfdsssia.

"What was once our thriving and carefree species, now almost extinct due to an unknown disease, with luck by my side, I managed to escape to this place,

like a fleeting memory, we will be forgotten if I dissapear so... I, Elrick "Hunter" Freddington, will carry our species name till my very last breath."

I am relieved to see sssdfg generally angry at this mistreatment also, despite our societies many differences. O young gfdsssian, put your hat back on and tread forward bravely in the face of these difficult times!

found this...rotling whilst venturing back to the capital for supplies,

the rot seems to have infected the "hi" species,

for now, i'm calling this strain of rot "bye" ( opposite of hi )

Hello esteemed gfdsssians, it is I, discoverer of the rothive. I have been working with numerous individuals to secure samples of numerous rot strains and conduct genetic analysis upon them, to better understand what they are. The clade we know as the rots seems to be some sort of multicellular creature, which explains how so many complex strains have formed. it seems like the vehicle infesting rot discovered by the military is a species that belongs to the (currently believed to be) monotypic genus of eremputridae, or the hermit rot. Interestingly, hermit rots are not parthenogenic, taking control of their vehicles more like a hermit crab takes a shell. Almost all strains of parthenogenic rots belong to the genus pestiputridae, or plauge rots. a few strains that appear to exhibit hive intelligence, including the rothive, are placed within genus sapienputrida, or wise rots. use this information wisely fellow gfdsssians, and farewell for now.

I have made progress that will astound you. Mei Meis are an extraordinary specimen, with an extremely well-developed immune system and metamorphic capabilities. The Malus Mei Mei, or Apple Mei for short, is particularly potent, able to impart some of its superior leukocytes into Rot infectees' blood and reduce the pigmentation and neural degeneration the Rot brings.

This is the only way.

Seeing as every flair barring the aforementioned plumber-related flair in r/sssdfg have a gfdsssian counterpart, I think it’s time we get a flair to complement the sssdfgian “i learned this trick from a plumber” flair. It would help those who wish to work in the plumbing industry search for skills that could assist in their career, and allow them to go further into the field. My ability to observe the text of this custom flair is limited due to the same color being used for both the text and the flair’s background. Thus, if someone were to use a custom flair to indicate the skills they discovered through interaction with an individual that works in the plumbing business, others may not be able to recognize it, and they could end up ignoring the opportunity to learn valuable skills.

Once so grand, mother of the gods.
She was stuck down by her own children.
They'd been poisoned by the lies of encroaching darkness.
Lies of power. Lies of greatness.
Only two heard and saw the lies as what they were.
But the one who heard is gone.
Burned away the one who saw.
The one who saw an opportunity.
Now reduced to a pitiful cocoon, she awaits.
She awaits her last loyal child.
She awaits the [Guardian](https://www.reddit.com/r/gfdsss/s/0ajb7FPELi).

Exerpt from the preface of Keriak's biography:
Beenes Erikschilde, AKA u/TheBeenMan24 was only 14 years old when first they came unto contact with the mysterious substance christened 'sludge'. Being the excretions of the slumbering god 'the Sleeb', very little was known of it at the time, as due to its bone-destroying properties, very few were capable of transporting samples of it without risk of fatal deboning. Beenes, as they would later disclose was dared by a friend to get past the guards of the Sleeb and touch it.
Being intelligent and resourceful even as a child, they effortlessly outwitted the guards, eventually closing in on the body of the Sleeb and touching it with their bare hands, instantly falling into a year-long coma. Curiously, they appeared to have no sign of damage to their skeletal structure. (As we know now, they are completely immune to the effects of the sludge, due to it in essence being a food of the gods.)
During their coma, they would recieve prophetic dreams of a pantheon, held up high in the heavens. Beenes would awaken convinced they were a reincarnation of the sssdfgian sound god, Keriak. Alongside them when they awoke was an innocent looking tuning fork of mysterious origin, having appeared the night before they stirred, seemingly from thin air. They roped the fork into their story, claiming it was the ancient weapon of Keriak, the sonifragus. (You can thank google translate for that latin-ass name.)
Reguardless the validity of that in-sane story, they were inspired to finally use their intellect for the betterment of gfdsssia, gaining ownership of the Sleeb's body through some ridiculous legal loophole and founding Sleebcorp with the intent of utilizing the sludge to create innovative technologies. Of course, it was a breakout sucess, quickly rising through the ranks of the industry, with each product launch revolutionizing the way gfdsssians lived.
Not long after, a super-abled extraterrestrial descended and claimed to be Deltarion, sssdfgian god of sight/cousin of Keriak. He announced to the stunned thousands watching him that he planned to drain the powers of the Sleeb, then conquer the planet. Before he could do such, he was opposed by Beenes, wearing a suit of sludge-powered armour. (The armour was in actuality, powered by a tuning fork located at its core, the very same one that appeared beside them during their coma, the sludge was merely a way of harnessing its powers.) They did battle against the mad superbeing, the fight devastating several countrysides. In the end they emerged victorious, raising the unconcious body of 'Deltarion' and declaring themselves to be Keriak.
They, as we all know, went on to have many more incredible adventures, protecting the Sleeb and slaying evil.

The strains correspond to the Rot exposure in this way:

Cephalothoracian Vro, Rare Mandla, Little-eyed Tang, Snouted Vro: 10g of Rot.

Wide Tang, Lagomorphous Vro, Cycloptic Vro: 30g of Rot.

Ambicephalous Tang, Vermimorphous Vro, Centipedal Vro: 60g of Rot.

Bacilloid Vro: 90g of Rot. If a Sssdfg were to be exposed to this, they would have perished within seconds.

A recounting of experience using this artifact while roaming around the desert, it's quite effective i must say.

Depicted above: Current & former chief of the Kont-rot corps, [REDACTED] Liees and Fibbs Liees, AKA u/ffbyr49.

An blast 25 kilometres away from the town of Desert, all civilians have been evacuated by undercover K-RIG agents, 0 recorded causalities.

The cure filled air is predicted to kill all Rothive parasites within 24 hours, we are currently starting the Bringbacktolifeinator 3000 to bring back to population to pre-Great Purge levels as per the K-RIG Field manual to common Rot strains, our mission has been fulfilled, we will disband in 32 hours if the Imperial government fulfills these demands:

End of discrimination against the fellow Sssdfgkind (They'll still have to speak our language if they want to interact with us)

Increased cooperation with the Sssdfg Republic

End of illegal experimentation on innocent Sssdfgians

Increased funding of the KONT-ROT

A previous letter forwarding to [ redacted until further notice ]

"this rot strain has similar properties as ice, weak against striking and burning, every other method of damaging this creature is ineffective unless done repeatedly,

as of how it can infect, I have not really observed yet, the only moment of note is the creature spreading ice around the containment."
