[X] Plan More Sixiang
I told myself even if I didn't like the character I'd still give her a chance, part of that means taking actions to let her character be fleshed out some more and hopefully help ling qi further her bond with her future lord and perhaps earn eachothers trust/respect while we are still in a relatively safe and unhostile zone

Honestly, if you're going to drop Cai for the Zhengui/Hanyi minor (which can be attached), you'd be better off not doubling up on Zhengui and getting the Gan minor that people are keen on.

Fair enough. But it seems to me that her minor is the only one that we can do pretty much whenever, will never go away and there will always be deeper levels of it as we get to know her better. Whereas the rest are time sensitive for one reason or another. Doing Hanyi raises the possibility of borrowing her for the tournament. Doing Suyin gives us the option of the Zhengui mobile fortress for those who want to do that. Sixiang will go away pretty soon. It's only polite to give Gu the news yourself as soon as possible. Even Gan's duel is a one-time opportunity. I guess the problem is that a lot of those aren't attachable to anything.

I'm actually okay with that but I suspect that this would be less popular and not more popular as you claim. Many people likely think that training Zhengui in the Vale as often as possible is non-negotiable so that he can grow as strong as possible. Having him play with Hanyi seems very different from having him cultivate in the Vale with the former action more focused around interacting with Hanyi.

FZ is mastered. Pretty sure all of the current set of Argent Arts max out at level 5. A Yellow Stone is worth 10 Red Stones.
You may want to check out Katreus' spreadsheet, which keeps track of what happened when, including everything that Ling Qi has trained.

I'm skeptical of that I have to admit. I think that - if we do get with Hanyi - it will likely be around the end of next year, and involve her hitting green, growing up into a bratty teenager, and it being time for her to leave home.
Then she can go away with us to get her own mountain in our fief or something like that.
[the future:
Ling Qi: no Hanyi, you can't eat people
Hanyi: what if they're cute boys though? Is it alright then?
Ling Qi: no, not even if they're cute
Hanyi: what if I really really like them though?
Ling Qi: *sigh*]

Forgot that I wanted to talk about this. How does it make sense that there are a thousand Inner Sect disciples if the tournament and production competition admit only sixteen a year. Even if a few get in via other means, that might be, what, a couple dozen a year? Are there multiple Outer Peaks or something? Do disciples stay in the Inner Sect for decades at a time?
Considering how long cultivators can live, I suspect it's either the latter or both.
Yeah, it seems a bit off. Like, at +16/year, that would mean that disciples in the inner sect stay there for ~>62 years on average to maintain those numbers. Yet despite that, the #6 student is a young guy at who's at Green 7, and Yanmei who's reached Cyan is considered a likely candidate for a Core Disciple.
We know that Meizhen and Cai aren't going to be there long, neither will we, and the same is likely true of Sun.
So, we've got indications that, for nobles at least, they often have other things to do so don't stay there forever. We know that the strongest students are still only green and appear to be young. Like, if the typical disciple stays there for decades then I'd expect the strongest disciples to have been there for decades and to be solidly in cyan or something. It's odd.
Either that or it's full of people who have bottlenecked in green, yet don't have any family responsibilities to go off and do instead of hanging out at the sect being a loser who's stagnating.

Cool. The Character Sheet should still be fixed up when the GM can get around to it. That information is still missing from there.
EDIT: While we are at it, what are the exact effects of each of the spirit stone types? How many dice do they give, and for what? And how are they used? Does it change based upon number used? What's the limit to how many we can use at once?

There's a post in the Informational tab about that.
Well we know that they have green beauracrats, I assume that they have a decent number who just hit a plateau and stay at the sect forever making up the bulk of sect labor and troops.

How much is green? People make a very big deal about it.
Green is 20, which is we're kind of wanting to hold off until appraisal before using most of our GS (outside of SLP week).
(replacing a yellow with a green only gives us +10, replacing 2 yellow gives us +40).

If green like yellow and red in that using multiple is extra effective? Not that we can yet.
Edit: Shouldn't we be able to use 3 yellow spirt stones at this point?

I'm assuming the Sect has multiple "Outer Sect Mountains" but a single Inner Sect area.
Sorry, I completely misunderstood that vote. It will teach me to post while tired.

Two things:
1) Our income seems nebulous. I can't find it within the turns. Do we have any accounting of how much we got from the pill furnace rent each week?
2) If a Foundational Art exists for Archery, and we want to be a specialist in music, then shouldn't we find a foundational art for music? Something to boost range, reduce cost of including more targets, excluding allies from harmful effects, resist silence effects, and stuff like that? A general buff for all our music arts?
So, unless our upcoming meeting with the spirit of inspiration yields a foundational music art, we should probably look into that at some point. Not sure if we should do that before the tournament, as it is kind of looming.

It's listed after the skill increases, before the turn vote options.
Edit: Sometimes the final amount is different due to non voted purchases, but it's mostly just due to variation in how many people are using the furnace.
We're taking a 40% share, not a fixed rent.
Edit2: found the quote from week 30 part 1
