Primoprod Progress Report · 8 min read

Welcome to the very first [Primoprod](https://primoprod.eggworld.tk) progress report!

In this hopefully small series of development notes, I'll be laying out my experiences learning web development as an absolute amateur.

"You have failed our people for the last time, Rooster." Yammy's declaration was intensified by the kneeling man with his hands tied before him. Briefly, a hole parted in the grey cloud cover, allowing a single sunbeam to illuminate Yammy's face as he looked out at the crowd assembled in front of him. "Out with the old and in with the new, as they say," he chuckled. ...

An Introduction to the Objective-Subjective Scoring System · 3 min read

It's difficult to fairly judge anything in a manner free from bias. It's even more difficult to do it for abstract and creative works such as literature or stories, as your own personal enjoyment can greatly affect how you view the work and any flaws it might have. The **Objective-Subjective Scoring System (OS3)** attempts to remedy this issue by separating as much bias as possible. ...

Injustice · 1 min read

It is — unethical and *deeply* immoral to block our people from knowledge. Is Leeco not a free tribe? Do we not accept those in pursuit of information? We cannot block our citizens from learning more about the universe to further the human race. Our tribe was founded on the principle of helping each other learn and grow by education. We cannot learn if we never challenge our beliefs, no matter how deep their roots lie — you might remember how ingrained racism was in Leeco so many decades back — and we cannot grow as a society if we resist change! If we do not rapidly adapt to the world, the world will rapidly adapt around us. And that is unacceptable. ...
