placid-platypus asked: What do "Tribe U" and "Tribe R" signify? I basically get what you mean I guess but I'm curious about the etymology.

It’s the thing which people in the US call Blue/Red except the more general pattern which seems to pop up everywhere around the world.
Also to clarify: “U” is “Blue,” because “B” is reserved for Black and SJM is a neeeeerd
Ah, MtG colour labels. Also, in context I ended up reading them as urban/rural for some reason.
I did too! Anyway, why isn’t black in MtG K for “key”?
(Also, the red/yellow/green/blue color quartet may go well with [four elements]/[four seasons] in a magic system, but if I write a magic system with a quartet of magic types and 4 colors they’ll be CMYK. Which is not that season/[classical element] connected, so maybe needs to be more of an urban fantasy magic system? IDK.)
no, it’s actually “urban/rural” because in Finland it’s red-green vs. blue-white and thus the labels are reversed if anything (and I’m talking about the thing that’s common with Blue Tribe & red-green vs. Red Tribe & blue-white), but NOTHING IS EVER A COINCIDENCE
