@eaglejarl Do we need to explain the idea for Shadow Clone farms in the plan or have we talked about them enough in thread for Hazou to explain it as part of the idea to Jiraiya?

- Yes.
The QMs: Yes.

He dealt with Minato for a decade or so, so I'm sure he's used to it.
Doesn't Minato provide a different class of ideas compared to Hazō though?

Sure. Go for it.Would a grant be a sufficient bribe?
Active participation in the thread and consistent voting for at least two months.What are the requirements for being considered a regular?
I'm still failing to see how this represents a major source of trouble.
In what way would this actually impact his life?
That would fit well, actually. Which is not to say that I'm onboard with changing his Trouble, just that this would be better than the other, not-terribly-troublesome, Troubles that have been suggested.
He would shift slowly from one to the other over time, and at some point we would change his sheet.
Thhhbbbbbbppppptttttt
My reading was "I love you and words are not needed between us."So, I get that tearing up the note was supposed to be like "the thing you're saying is invalid", but it does seem kinda callous to just tear up something she put that much work into? Idk, it just doesn't "read right" to me.
I think maybe in a more confident and less touch-phobic person it would've been "rip up -> kiss Tenten", rather than kissing the paper and ripping it, which feels more ambiguous. Luckily Tenten probably reads this a lot more clearly than I do
The idea is "we get a zoo of chakra beasts that Noburi drains in order to keep us all topped up so we can make lots of Shadow Clones so we can train really fast." Right?

Yeah, basically. There might be quibbles here or there -- having the zoo underground in the Forest of Death if it's not allowed in Leaf proper, or just training there or in the Swamp of Death (morbid as that might be) and using the overabundance of chakra beasts to keep topped up if a zoo is unworkable for some reason, but you've got the idea.

[X] Action Plan: Getting a Clue
I would prefer we just keep going and not dive further into shenanigan-land, but of the other options this seems the best (and the least meta; it feels weird to try to manipulate Hazou into acting towards a goal he literally doesn't know exists). Him bringing up the odd talk they had makes the most sense.

Two things that should never be together in long periods of time.
Comedy and romance together in small doses it can be ok to great.
but being the main thing? Otter Gutter trash. I got better things to do than to wait 50+ chapters of bullshit and coincidences only for some surprising shitty ending to a shitty story that makes it even shittier. I expect the GM's to string this along for the next 3 to 6 months tops.
Romantic Comedy is dead and they beating it dead body to the point it become paste so that it can be used as fertilizer...only for the plants it used on to be infested with bugs and disease and throw into a furnace.
Said Furnace burns down on itself and there was nothing but ash.
If I had to pick between Romantic Comedy and NTR, I choose NTR.
...I guess that why I get so mad over this. Too much wasted time over shitty stories I keep giving the benefit of the doubt.
Why can't we have a normal relationship without the insane crazy drama? Is it too much to ask from SV? How long were they in a relationship anyway? A week or a month? Did they even go out on a date?

How about two posts, one vote, and you consider it getting feet in doors.
It WAS a normal relationship until Akane decided to break up.

As much as a relationship between a former missing nin turned heir to the kage of her nation can be, anyway.

Two things.
1) Hazō and Akane started dating nearly two RL years ago (and seven months in-story). Since then, there have been around half a dozen scenes that made more than a passing reference to their relationship, four of them in the last three months. Go ahead, count them. The Story-Only thread is right over there. If this is your definition of a romantic comedy or an overdone running gag, then frankly I have little further interest in your opinion on the subject.
2) This quest's community is characterised, among other things, by the courtesy and respect with which those within it interact with each other, as well as a capacity for carefully-phrased constructive criticism and negotiation which allows people to resolve their conflicts like adults.
I don't say this often (I'm fact, I've never said it before), but if you're so fed up with this quest that it drives you to aggressive foul-mouthed ranting, then you know where to find the "close tab" button.
Edit: Actually might be a good idea anyway. Looking at your posts in this thread (Thread Tools at the top of the page -> Who Replied, for anyone interested), it seems like you only post here when you're angry or upset about something.

If a character can have a personality trait without it being an aspect, and personality traits aren't necessarily double-edged swords in the way that aspects necessarily are, then we should just drop the aspect and deal with the loss of FP and loss of ability to invoke on sincerity, and have Hazou work on growing past the unempathetic part of the aspect without losing the sincerity.
To be fair, part of the issue with this Aspect in particular is that it's Hazou's Trouble - the Aspect most likely to get him in said trouble, and deliberately slanted towards the problematic side of things. Basically everyone has some feature of their lives that causes them problems some time or another, and thus everyone must have a Trouble Aspect; most Aspects don't need to be quite so double-edged/negative (look at Promising Sealing Student, for example). So, it needs to be replaced with something that'll actively cause him problems now and then.
Of those I've seen suggested, something like Hero Complex seems to fit how he's been characterized best while still providing hooks for him to cause himself trouble with - I have the impression that the people who aren't happy with the current situation would prefer him to be causing himself trouble on ethical grounds, as opposed to now where it feels more like a competence issue? Make it feel more like he's making poor life choices to get himself in hot water, rather than just screwing up?
Simulationism overrules manufactured conflict such as what happened in event 5 round two.

Really tho, It shouldn't be too hard to have them sit down and talk it out like normal people now that everyone has had time to cool off. If Akane is truly serious about breaking up I will... uhh....... Something Something relationship advice in Kagome?
