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
Do you know the history of how the Americans managed to make red the color for both conservatism and communism?
They used to switch the colors every election, but 2000 in which R was red was a clusterfuck and the colors burned into everyone’s minds and got stuck
