Why? We already got plenty of non-trait stuff from both of the conferences and we have generally received traits during normal Turn-Phases, not special events.

Oh, I know who made the sacrifices, judging by the rolls I made in preparation for next turn.Somebody secretly sacrificed to the dice gods, and now OP is in despair.
I know exactly who made them.
No, you guys got plenty. This wasn't a trait occasion given the bevvy of rewards you already received.
I tend to award traits (after the opening turns) when there's no other reward I can give. Like in a specific contest of wills between two people that won't result in massive material or political benefits for you.

Well that is ominous. Again. Turn 9 seems to have been the gateway of everything suddenly happening.
Speaking of which: If I'm not counting something incorrectly, this still-incomplete turn, out of nine we will have had after it ends? Its word-count is over one-third of the whole quest. So yeah, that happened.
This is some ominous foreshadowing.
We dodged so many bullets this turn that Neo wants lessons. We were hoping for some quiet downtime. Now I'm dreading the Rumor Mill and finding out that even with our actions the world is on fire. And wondering if next turn we can expect a fight for our life as Suzaku stole the prototype Japanese KMF and managed to join up with the Chinese invasion force that will be coming to capture Li Xingke in an attempt to free Kaguya from our dastardly clutches.
Or maybe Cornelia critted so hard that with the addition of Armenians she managed to capture ports on the east side of the Black Sea and with the help of Armenians manning captured transport ships she managed to start her campaign to become Tzarina.

I don't know, that seems like a hell of way to spend a Saturday night. And its even socially acceptable within Britannian noble culture!
*Cough* Moving on.
At some point he will realize that he can start treating crits as "THINGS WENT HORRIBLY RIGHT". They worked too well and now you must handle the consequences...Somebody secretly sacrificed to the dice gods, and now OP is in despair.

That kind of goes against the spirit of the roll... Crits can have unexpected consequences but they should still be a good thing overall.
Gone horribly right is more of a bare success or critfail situation.
...Clovis got assasinated didn't he? It has to be him given that up to this point he's been sitting in Egypt right on the door step of the Preatorians
Oh yeah, the Preatorians. We have yet to see any reaction from them after that attack, no? And we know the minimal reaction they'll have is also losing their shit about what they missed as well.
That WAS the downside of taking that defense plan. Good PR for Lelouch, yes, but also bad PR about psionics.

Oddly Lelouch has probably been in a room with Praetorians, remember when Nunnally stopped the High Eunuch there were European Security forces with odd looking guns? If there were Praetorians in Indonesia that's the most likely spot they would have been

I am new here and I just have a question with Turn 9 Phase 1 results On the Prowl, it said that it was going into a Combat Turn: Into the Breach. Did we ever get that combat turn and I just missed reading it, or is it coming before or after the end of year Rumor Mill, or was it just forgotten on this turn that never ends? Sorry to be a bother but Greta is hilarious to read about.
If the Euro-Britannian favoring faction rises to power in the Federation, do you think that they'd have a somewhat chillier attitude toward us after the stunt we pulled at the Tunguska Conference (instead of the likely neutrality Lelouch assessed for them in the first part of the conference)?

You joke.
But it struck me during work today that Lelouch is actually literally the NTR Antagonist of Suzaku's story.
If anyone has anything to contribute to "The Cucking of Suzaku Kururugi" Negaverse, let me know and I'll see if I can include it when I find the time to write that three to five part omake series.

Wait, is this why Suzaku turns "evil" in this quest? In canon, it was his obsession with "working within the system" that had him sticking with the Britannian Empire through thick and thin. In this quest, Suzaku goes to work for the bad guy faction (whomever it is)...because Lelouch stole away his girl?
Dammit CLAMP, it's not just your art; your character designs are bringing along your shoujo manga tropes as well!
The wording might not have been precise enough but it was the Indonesian Conference combat mini turn. I think taking that action allowed us to have our fleet forward deployed and attacking from the start. We also could have used our fleet to intercept the pirates either in smaller pockets out at sea or after they made rendezvous. During turn 9 phase 1 we didn't know exactly what the target was. We only had a warning that New Heaven was up to something. We took the action to stack the deck.
I can't be sure if not taking that action would have caused our fleet to be late but I'm almost sure wouldn't have had the initial options of dealing with the New Heaven fleet away at sea.
In this turn we only have the Rumor Mill left together with a vote for what we want from our deal with Duke Stadtfeld for the next 3 turns.

Kagua is the third-highest SL we have. Like she is higher than Jeanne and we are in a committed relationship with her. The only person with a higher SL is Kallen and Nunnally.
Edit: It wouldn't be surprising if at some point Kaguya decides to make a play on Lelouch despite that "arrangement" is what I am trying to say.

Kaguya shares 3rd place with Sayoko at SL 6, with Kallen in 2nd at SL 7 and Nunnally in 1st place with SL 9.

The arrangement was broken off when we literally bought Kaguya from her father in exchange of Indonesian Magic Oil.
That's why the latest update included Kaguya talking about how she's been effectively sold off and exiled from her home and homeland.
We literally bought Kaguya's engagement to Spin Kicks from her father without any other parties' involvement.
The Cucking of Suzaku Kururugi Omake Series would explore events from the first conference that Suzaku, Kaguya, and Lelouch all attended at the same time, moving on to Kaguya's various dates and "dates" with Lelouch while Suzaku is busy or blown off, culminating in Suzaku receiving the message stating that the engagement is broken off (most likely containing either a direct explanation or a vague reference to sating "Brittanian Interests") with a Negaverse Vote to either Let It Go, Formally Lodge A Request To Ask What The Fuck, or Go Full Spin Kick.
The Negaverse may end there, or it might explore Secret Agent Spin Kicks and why we really should improve our security and try to nip this NTR plot in the bud if it's not too late.
Sayoko should be 28 right now.
According to the wiki, she was 24 in the first season. Lelouch was 17 in the first season, and is 21 right now in this quest, so 4 years have passed since the OTL canon start.

As a general rule, I don't have 'evil' characters in my quests. I have characters whose motivations, aims, and goals are antagonistic towards your own or others. This does not automatically mean that Suzaku counts as a potential antagonist even given a potential relationship with Kaguya.Wait, is this why Suzaku turns "evil" in this quest? In canon, it was his obsession with "working within the system" that had him sticking with the Britannian Empire through thick and thin. In this quest, Suzaku goes to work for the bad guy faction (whomever it is)...because Lelouch stole away his girl?
Dammit CLAMP, it's not just your art; your character designs are bringing along your shoujo manga tropes as well!
Furthermore... I'll go on record as saying that, in my position as QM, I deeply disapprove of the whole 'NTR' or 'Cucking' idea. Fundamentally, it implies that women can be 'stolen' by other men as a way to inflict emotional harm. While I'm aware this does happen in real life from time to time, I think using this kind of plot development sends entirely the wrong kind of message in perpetuating that kind of attitude. I know this sounds kind of odd coming from a guy writing a harem quest, but I have at least tried to display a gender-equal opportunity in Semper Ad Meliora and will continue to do so. Guinevere is kind of my flagship character there and she'll be getting more spotlight soon, with her own harem of young studs.
So while I'm not diametrically opposed to an NTR-style omake featuring Suzaku blaming Lelouch for 'stealing his woman' it would definitely be apocryphal. If it turns out that Suzaku holds a grudge against Lelouch for his engagement being broken up, it will be for just that: Suzaku and Kaguya's engagement/relationship being 'sabotaged' by Lelouch, likely as a function of Lelouch's political aims as opposed to any personal malice. But again, this is if Suzaku is actually mad, which Lelouch has no idea about.
The key difference between the two is that, in the latter, Kaguya is an active participant in whatever offends Suzaku, not a passive bystander to the events of her own life. I'd also veer far away from the idea that, were she to have sex with Lelouch and Suzaku be revealed to be holding a grudge, this would in no way be part of any plant to 'defile' her or 'steal her purity.' That's not a road I want to go down with this story and if I ever feature such a character who espouses ideas such as these, they will be portrayed as inherently in the wrong.
Just my two cents here, I won't stop any discussion as long as it stays within the bounds of site rules and doesn't creep towards the NSFW-side of things.
Feel free to continue spitballing ideas.
Edit: And, as a final clarification, in the spirit of good-faith contributions of material to the quest, if someone does do a Negaverse Suzaku NTR omake series, I will give bonuses as I would for anything else.

If I was a writer I would take you up on that challenge.
After all You (suzaku) obviously fell in love with Lelouch when you heard about his exploits in a plane and then again the first time you saw him. You were looking forward to getting to know him better but When kaguya was seen with the fastest man alive you were going to use her as an excuse to talk to him. Nothing against kaguya but you were friends and thinking about her romantically was odd. So when Lelouch distracted you (like a gentleman) so she could get away obviously distressed at a confrontation you allowed him to distract you. Later when you heard the engagement was annulled and she was going to live with Lelouch on his island again all you could think was "that bitch"!
Note: I do not normally read guy/guy relationships, but Slayer Anderson's post against NTR sounded like a challenge

Hold on I have suddenly an enormous worry, was Guinevere repeatedly asked us to "crash" at one of her balls is to add us to of her harem ? Because it's been a couple of turn and I wonder if we're actually to her taste since she's still inviting us even after we snubbed her for years.
If that's the case we dodged a giant bullet because even if we never had sexual relations or even just some words exchanged with her, there would still be rumors about us being the parent of her unborn child and we don't need that while we try to invade Australia. Let's hope she has forgotten us for now.
How would a couple where both person has a harem would work ?
