BTW @DeAnno we can get a discounted gss this coming week. Make sure to get it and flip it for +300 rss.

Is it that time again already? We shopped at the end of week 47 and AFAIK did the stone swap then. Right now it's the end of Week 50, so it seems like it's only been 3 weeks. If I'm wrong somehow people should tell me though.

I think we have enough money even without doing that, considering the Cai GSS, and our 100 RSS income, though an update on the state of our money just to confirm things would be nice @yrsillar. Assuming I was right in all fronts in my earlier post we should have 1006 RSS in stones right now, enough to finance any plan currently on the table with safety leftovers.

Zhengui can definitely end up using 8qi/turn with the talisman set up in your current plan, and while that might not look much it adds up, especially in turns when he moves.

@Arkeus I merged this with my other post to avoid doubling.

The only reaction I see on his list is Volcanic Stone Shell, which would be reduced to 1 qi, bringing him to 7 per turn (while regening 2). While this would slightly speed up his qi decline, I argue that if he needs to use VSS every turn, he is actually being attacked, and would be better off with the clash die anyways because of this.

I doubt he will have to move very much. We don't really support a kiting strategy at the moment, and over the long timespans we're talking about Zhengui will probably just end up finding the correct place to stand in our various clouds of whatnot and such and then continue standing there. Maybe movement on a couple turns would slightly speed up the decline again, but we are talking a period of a dozen rounds at least. And when he uses Ingraining Roots he loses half his speed anyways.

I dunno if yrsillar meant it this way but 'Diao' definitely makes me think of Diaochan, who caused her lover (Lu Bu, I think) to betray and kill his father. Probably the clan of Cai Shenhua's lover, since it's the only count clan with a Prism.

Just something to think about, I guess.

Yeah, that active seventh stage is quite probably that most powerful supporter who has the third liming-grade Shenhua robe.

I wouldn't read too much into it, Yrsillar has said before that possible classical references were coincidences. Plus, she was from the Wang family, 'Diao' was just part of her personal name.

Again to the people voting for Han: what is there that we need to say to him right now before the tournament? Is it really time sensitive, or is it something that can be done afterwards just as well?

[X] Time for ASA
 
Just to warn everyone, there seems to be something a little goofy with the tally mechanism right now, something to do with plans not merging correctly and sometimes votes for plans getting stuck to votes for minors. It shouldn't be too hard to untangle at the end, just something to be aware of.

After the tournament we move to the Inner Sect, and considering the amount of contact between outer and inner we've seen so far, we won't be able to see him anymore.
If you want a completely not time sensitive minor look at Meizhen's instead.

It seems like just about everyone agrees these three talismans should exist, regardless of their exact statistics, so people should probably suggest names and descriptions for them. I don't feel inspired about Zhengui's at the moment, but...

Fleeting Moonlight Shawl. It's hard to tell the color of this thin gossamer fabric. From some angles it seems like a pale white and from others a shiny black. Gives a +3 bonus to offensive clashes with Dark and Moon Arts. Perception checks against the wearer have an X dice penalty in low light or darkness.

[X] You need to unwind, take a morning and spend it on the slopes with Zhengui and Hanyi, a little childish fun can be nice from time to time

All of these minors are things I want =(
Meizhen and Xiulan feel like they win regardless though, so I'm picking others. Han Jian got bumped in favor of Heizui, to keep Ling Qi's more spirit driven streak.

Amazingly, this was what a lot of people said about Han when we first started not voting for him. He was never on fire so we never had to put out a fire so we stopped interacting with him so we let him fall by the wayside. I am not impressed by the argument that because he's not a pressing concern we shouldn't make time for him, it's what got us started on this road. Making time for the first friend who made time for you, who gave you a big opportunity in the way of Zhou's test, who is responsible for putting us in contact with Xiulan, one of our closest friends, plays very nicely with what I both want out of the story and out of Ling Qi.

You can go back and check if you don't believe me when I say you're really not the first person to make this argument.
 
Han Jian is a chill guy and our first friend, and before we graduate from Kung Fu high school we should have lunch with him and at least thank him for those first weeks when we were nothing. Literally every other one is for somebody we can see again in the inner sect.
