SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK!
...and the well-rested and healthy with good memories.
My memory has always been shite. Plus, I feel that keeping track of every secondary character in 1.2 million words of quest is a bit much to ask for. How @faflec does this, I have no idea.

I'm guessing he's re-read the quest several times. Lots of read throughs would help the details stick in mind. Most of us probably don't want to make that kind of time commitment for something we've read once, though.
I find wikifying and ankifying information help.
Plus, if people were a bit diligent on wikifying information, this list might have helped.

Ankifying?
Spaced repetition flashcard system.
Passive reading is in fact one of the worst way to learn anything. It gives you the illusion of knowing and fluency as the words get repeated back to you.
What you want to do is active reading, which is the process of asking yourself question after you read a passage or attempt to summarize information, because you're doing the act of recalling information which will strengthen mental traces. This will make you feel more uncomfortable, but the process really help people learn.

Why do we have Hazo being shocked at printed things, exactly? There should already be woodblock printing.

Should doesn't mean is. Technology isn't a tree, it's a vast field.

Ugh. I frequently go back and re-read old chapters and/or discussion, but I stick to the newer parts. I can't stand my early chapters.
@faflec, if this is what you're doing then you have my apologies.

Honestly the post-update discussion is more useful for my remembering than rereading the thread.
Lo, in the final cycle the Ashbringer shall challenge the Monk and resolve the synthesis to face the Pillar of Salt.

Hey, I just dropped a reference to Mia Neverborn. That deserves a call-out.
Cheater. I had my 4D visa revoked and slipped in through cryogenics like all good hackers.
Better yet, have a malevolent GM spend years only updating with the knowledge that it induces you to compulsively read through the "posted before word-count limits were a thing" reference thread until you demonstrably know it better than they do.

I'm confused. How is screaming useful for remembering specific details?

I believe the seal doesn't suck air in, it 'instantly' seals air in the surrounding area, and the onrushing air that destroys the seal is from the vacuum collapsing. The planned technique is putting the seal between two solid, polished pieces of granite, or tied-together steel, or such. Though, since we never actually do real research we don't know anything for sure.
By engaging in conversations, one is forced to recall what they read and how the discussion relates to the stories, creating mental traces within the brain.

I would really like to do the Chakra Quantification Project since it can lead to development of the Scientific Method. Having it it will be much more easier for us to put some ideas into Hazous brain.
Also, sage-damned secretary!
We should hurry up, because Keiko soon will be part of Nara which implies that she will be around less and that Nara would have access to both Nara and Mori. By the way, this research may or may not be the hidden motive they had for inviting Keiko into the clan.

No, actually, Keiko will remain part of the Goketsu. If she'd chosen to marry into the Nara, that'd be the case.
Also yes I definitely agree regarding the Chakra Quantification Project.

If this actually works, I'm super in favour. In the worst case scenario of Jiraiya dying and Hiashi living, Orochimaru represents our major exit strategy out of Leaf.
- Location
- Yes.
As long as we 'get' Orochimaru the message through Jiraiya (when he gets back if you're patient; through the Pangolins if not). Since, well...we don't actually know who knows that the other S-rank missing-nin is in Leaf that we can ask to send a message. Jiraiya's fighting at Nagi Island, Shikaku's (presumably) also fighting at Nagi Island, and we don't really know all that many other ninja who would be trustworthy to ask the question without Consequences AND high-ranking enough to help us get the ball rolling.

I mean in this plan we would be conducting it through the summon realm. No reason to bring in any other ninja.
The reason we need to contact him now is to try to sit up a safety net if J and Naruto die

Oh, then I'm absolutely good with it. Gotta figure out what the content of the message is, so J doesn't freak out, but should be fine.
Edit: I swear to Jashin when I read your post the first time the Pangolins weren't mentioned. Maybe I'm just going crazy
