- Yes.
Done.
So I made some rewording to the plan to make it less "asking about advice", but I don't know if it made it better or worse. Could you check for me?
My name is spelled "faflec".
Implemented, mostly. I put Noburi mostly on rumor-checking duty regarding the broadsheet. And we don't yet know the Kages are dead, just Jiraiya (and also Ren, who is in fact alive).
Done.

When we have enough breathing room that Hiashi couldn't just execute us for it/ we have enough political capital to burn/we have a good enough foundation that we can vet them sufficiently first and make sure they're on the straight and narrow

To add to the spoons issue, please consider not only number of scenes but also the amounts of spoons necessary for the QMs for worldbuilding purposes. There's no way we can anticipate every direction you might want to head in, and some of these points will require a lot of QM discussion to make sure everyone's on the same page and no important issues/disastrous contradictions have been overlooked. Double transparency is a spectre constantly lurking over all our shoulders (in my case, it has to compete for space with my two shoulder devils).
Edit: To expand on this, we already know how Tsunade feels about taking the hat. But if you decided to, say, offer Naruto to Hiashi for adoption in exchange for withdrawing from the election (with the implication that he could set up Naruto as his candidate for the next one), we'd have to take time to discuss Hiashi's reaction, to say nothing of everyone else's.

Sixty, actually.
You do not. Hazō's total knowledge about the people in attendance and survivors thereof is what is in this update.
Hey, that wasn't racism. That was pure facts, backed up by hard statistics. Facts don't care about your feelings, nor about confounding variables. /s
It did not, at all.
I appreciated the concern.@Velorien is apparently a faster writer than me if he's getting the updates done in 7 hours. For me it's usually about 8, with particularly long ones taking up to 10.
Yessss.
For now.
Nope.
EDIT:
EDIT: Also, adopting missing-nin may now be thinkable, but it is definitely not something to do casually.

Is this something that needs to be done immediately? Seems a bit excessive given the rest of what we have going on. We can tackle "Approach this list of people about adoption" in another update after having a team meeting about it to make sure everyone is on the same page.

I'd like to have Deidara marry into the clan, actually. Kagome clearly has a crush...

...faflec.
I'm...*shakes hand about*...meh? I don't mind doing this later but would imagine that some people want this done ASAP, plus we don't know if we can talk to Tsunade and Naruto.

A purely cynical method of adoption a missing Ninja would be to have the ninja in question be adopted first by a civilian family that has some measure of wealth from a business who we then adopt into our family.
Additionally are there any purely civilian families who we could add to our clan? It is not as if being a ninja is the only qualifier for being a part of a clan right? They could be part of the backbone of our admin/ finances.

I will give you all the XP if you actually do this. There is no possible way that things could go wrong by suggesting to Kagome that he should enter into a homosexual marriage to an S-rank missing-nin directly responsible for the deaths of large numbers of Leaf ninja and partially responsible for the deaths of two beloved Hokage and a bunch of clan heads. The resulting wacky hijinks would be hilarious.

You fool. The last time we said something like this, Hazō ended up going on a date with Ami. Never underestimate the players' ability to flood the world with chaos and then gleefully ride the wave to their destination.

Remember when Hazou going on a date with Ami seemed wild and unthinkable?

Aren't we still owed an infinity of XP for that?

If you can cite the post, we can begin the complex process of trying to wriggle out of it.Aren't we still owed an infinity of XP for that?
