@TehChron There is a space on your social offense vote, behind the X. I don't know if it will be counted like that.

I like mischief and spirit ken and mystery, but these three are my top three.
 
[X] Spirit enhancement/training
[X] Misdirection
[X] Sincerity

[X] [Role] Social
[X] [Role] Combat debuffs


Ling Qi is unlikely to ever be a social powerhouse so focusing on sincerity given its important role in her Way seems a good starting point for art choices. Misdirection would work well for her given her natural inclination towards revealing as little of herself as possible, and her playfulness (when she is not trying to mimic Bai Maizhen). I would suggest spirit enhancement/training as the third keyword choice since a huge portion of Ling Qi's affectiveness is tied into her spirit arsenal, and also given her high Spirit Ken.

Social as a role is a given - it remains Ling Qi's Achilles heel, and given our role as CRX's right hand woman, we need to buttress this, and fast. Combat debuffs is the other role that I believe we need to be improving - FVM is going to fall behind rapidly from now on, and given Ling Qi's attritional approach to combat, we need to be adding to our arsenal in case we aren't able to get an FVM successor art.
 
Hm, I don't particularly mind the flavor of social art we get, these are fine:
[X] Sincerity
[X] Secrets

However, I do think it's important that it is a general social art since we really don't have the room or time for several arts to cover our bases. As such:

[X][Role] Social Offense/Defense
[X][Role] Social
 
I would suggest spirit enhancement/training as the third keyword choice since a huge portion of Ling Qi's affectiveness is tied into her spirit arsenal, and also given her high Spirit Ken.

Spirit enhancement/training isn't well related to a social art specifically and also doesn't give yrsillar much flexibility. I would suggest going with "Spirits" instead if you want a social art related to her spirit arsenal and Spirit Ken.
 
While people are paying attention to the vote, I'm gonna pay attention to something else, liiiike

Soon enough the gathering reached its end though and people began to take their leave. Ling Qi herself was among them. She had plans, and would probably be buried deep in the archive through the night, and then in the morning she had an appointment, the Bao scion who she was supposed to… get to know, would be arriving. Luckily he wanted to speak with Li Suyin as well, so she wouldn't have to awkwardly meet him alone.
Seems like Li Suyin will be joining us in the Bao arc, and chances are, Qingling will too. Oooooh the potentials 🤩🤩
 
May as well consolidate with the other votes

First, it seems kind of bad for people to be approval voting for more than one role, and just making it two versions of the same thing, since it'll crowd out any minority that wants a different role.

Second, do we need to vote for a CDE successor? I think that might have to be one of the roles? I'm going to vote that way until I get told I don't need to do this.

[X] Spirits
[X] Sincerity
[X] Secrets

[X][Role] Social

EDIT: I was told.

Of course it's not gonna turn that Rank -2 to -1. Our group is composed of Eastern ES nobles, while that ES nobility rank speaks of ES nobles as a whole. I think should we succeed in the cooperation, there's gonna be another subcategory under ES rank added like "Easter nobility" or something like that and will put us in decent terms with them.
I also gotta mention that I really had a feeling that there was gonna be a subcategory added in this update, and I was right! (although the category was a bit more complicating than I realized)
 
Successor things should probably be something like "[][successors] yes (which ones) / no" since it's a separate consideration from the new arts we want in archive dives.

@yrsillar clarification on what we need to do to see CDE+ in this dive's arts would be nice.

Edit: better format
