We've literally never done it that way in the nearly 4 years the quest has been running.
I'd certainly love it if we could offscreen the vast majority of busy-work meetings in the future. It raises the potential for players to object if things don't go precisely according to plan in the most optimal path, but that will hopefully be manageable.
It is my experience that teenagers rarely object if you round their age up.
Let me get back to you.

[x] [ParadeInvite]: Hazou did not offer it to Aito
Definitely need to not give the parade invite to Aito.
Even ignoring whether or not slighting them is a good or bad idea, it puts a target on his back.
He was terrified when he had some nice ninja wanting to fairly buy some land, he would not do well in the middle of a feud between clans.

You posted before I could edit, so I want to be clear that I want to check if Kabuto's set up the plan for the experiments yet.

Its simultaenously a mollification, a derail, and a snub.
Replace this gift with a crappy XL tshirt and thats about the value of what we've been offered compared to the previous psuedo-alliance terms.

She has not.
The intent on that was that she would be back Thursday night. I realize the timestamp was still Tuesday, but the expectation was that the characters were treating it as Wednesday morning "tomorrow" referred to Thursday, after the Hokage vote. She's not back, but she's also not overdue.
You didn't go there, you just looked at some maps of the area.
You get +1 bazillion Like + Insightful + 'Yes Please'
I may be wrong on this, but I thought you had. I'll check with the others.
On the one hand, I would prefer to write plans that say "Do this unless <names> strongly object."
On the other hand, I don't want to guarantee that doing that would necessarily ensure the Good Outcome or prevent any sort of problems.
Take that as you will, I guess? I have nothing more coherent.
Yes.
As a general rule, we try not to put OOC information into interludes. It does happen sometimes.
According to Mari the Uchiha were trying to back out of the deal in a way that allowed them to save face and look like they weren't welching. The parade position actually is a pretty significant honor and will provide a moderate degree of soft power (e.g. name recognition) but it definitely does not make up for them voting for Hiashi.
Sidebar, only a suggestion: The whole 'xor' thing does get a bit old after a while. Maybe let it go and stick with only 'yes'ing occasionally?
See above -- it's not quite that bad.
My reasoning as well. Rock Lee was also the pupil of an elite jounin and he himself is probably a rising star with the proper patronage. Giving this honor to a civie is a bare insult while Rock Lee is....
Damn it.
Best to take the insult on the cheek though. Switching back.
EDIT: Is anybody noticing the posting wonkiness???

Does Aito have a residence in Leaf or something?
Having take some time into dreamland time, I came back to this subject...
1) I feel grumpy and unhappy that things did not go our way.
2) I would spend significant XP to ensure an acceptable outcome, up to 100 XP.
3) I find the challenge posed by Hiashi as more work.
4) I find 'adventures' and conflict as frustrating and stressful.
5) I am also completely invested in the characters.
6) I no longer care about working to gain bonus XP
Yet I must acknowledge the outcome of the simulation as 'fair' even though we could have won, even the 'good' arguments that we should have won. What do?

Sadly, I can tell that scouting out the basement is going to be far more fun this cycle, but I would also like to work on shoring up our alliances; to that end, here's my proposed plan for next turn:
Operation Seven Nation Army
Word Count: 292
Operation Seven Nation Army
Word Count: 292
- Initiative
- We go to Minor Villages giving out gifts as representatives of the Noble Clans of Konoha. The more names we represent, the better.
- Later, when we have a secure revenue base, we'll offer full trade deals. First, gifts and talking.
- Prepatory Assignments - Timeframe: Two weeks.
- Hazou and Mari
- Liason with Ami to accomplish her favor, losing the vote included.
- Get as many clan names and seals on this project, as possible. If they'd like to come or materially contribute, great, but it isn't expected.
- Our top priority of names we want on this project are our allies from the vote.
- Don't bother with clans that don't seem like they'll sign.
- Save Hyuga for last. We don't need their permission, and when we should already be on our way.
- Noburi, Akane, and other volunteers.
- Work on:
- Adoptions
- Buying appropriate gifts for minor Villages. Budget is 15 million ryo.
- Getting civilian nobles to clear land sales.
- Finding lands ideal for clearing.
- Secure fig-leaf mission contracts.
- Border patrols, possibly.
- Work on:
- Kagome
- Keep up progress on Jiraiya's notes.
- Fortify the spot we just bought.
- Hazou and Mari
- Trip - Timeframe: As long as necessary
- Deliver gifts to the minor Hidden Villages in counterclockwise order and Mist, if possible.
- Sound out Village stances towards Leaf, Rock, and Cloud; if we can secure alliances or declarations of friendship, even better.
- Special notes:
- Skip Iron; they don't have a Hidden Village for us to concern ourselves with.
- Respect Rice sovereignity, and leave the gifts in the Rice nin's hands.
- Hot Springs through Mist should be handled by not-Goketsu. If none come, don't bother.
- Consider resolving Tea/Isan issue ourselves.
- Side objectives:
- Quick Uplift projects, like wall-building and chakra beast extermination.
- Acquiring new contacts.
- Scouting out land marked as candidates for land-clearing.

Have Naruto date her.
You should probably put something in telling Shikamaru how we'll do this without Hiashi just putting us in jail once he has the excuse of us leaving the village without permission. If we were out of the village during the update, it was probably because we took a mission that was near the area we were in and used that to get out of the village.

Yes. HDK whether he owns or rents, but he was staying in a house in Leaf.
Careful, guys. They're all underage by 21st-century American standards and we're on SV. Probably wise to stick with words like "court" or "romance".Have Naruto seduce her.
