Threads Of Destiny(Eastern Fantasy, Sequel to Forge of Destiny)

Voted best in category in the Users' Choice awards.
[X] Stick to the original plan, you can chat with Alingge when she inevitably comes to see Zhengui, but there's really no need to complicate things. Approach Wang Chao, greet and chat politely, ask for his help.
 
I feel like we should be able to get insights from devoping our bonds with our spirits. They are as much a part of us as our arts are. If anything they teach us more.

@yrsillar : Is this feasible?

mmm we should be able to develop Arts or perhaps modify our Arts based on our bonds with them, but the insights come from Arts so there needs to be that extra step imo.

As for the vote: We are explicitly and sincerely seeking his help because we find value and excellence in him, not because we're trying to sugar talk him. We're practical, sincere and trying to politic. Being forthright about the fact that we are actually sincerely looking for advice and decided this was a point of strength for his clan but also one of Wang Chao's strength specifically should be good. If he's skeptical that maybe we were only looking into him for CRX I mean. It can be about both things haha

We always look to strengthen ourselves and waste as little time as necessary on games, leisure and "holding back". Anything less would be condescension. Sincerity is a responsibility of the Strong to embrace without fear of the shadowed and duplicitous. This doesn't mean to be untactful, it just means that you meet them where they are at and then speak Truth to Power
 
Don't people think that he might feel pressured into helping us if LQ approaches him? He can't really say no to Cai's retainer without sending a message so he'll essentialy be forced to help. If we give him the opportunity to approach us, we cede initiative to him and let him decide (we OOC know he will help).

It's not like LQ can't work herself into a position of social weakness if he approaches her. She's still the one asking him for a favor.

We think he's the blunt sort and would be more receptive if we just ask him outright instead of dancing around the subject.
 
[X] Approach Alingge first with a friendly greeting. You did say you would introduce her to Zhengui after all. Make a point to discuss what you're trying to work on within hearing of Wang Chao.

Don't be insincere, but there's no reason not to talk to Alingge first.

I was hoping to see a clean vote with everyone voting the same but it seems it its to hopefull
 
For me I'm just skeptical of our pokerface were just not good in that area to be reliably using it enough even with PMR and the rank up to really fool him, and I don't want to take a risk like this if were asking about Zhengui stratagem with him,
Plus we really don't know him he might pull out a social art on us by surprise and see what were doin

It'll be interesting to see what insights Wang Chao will have on how we can use Zhengui, and how his ideas might need to be changed to accommodate a hard point that can move of its own violation.

The more interesting change in consideration is the sheer mobility superiority LQ's build affords her, and how we can share some of it (in short bursts for now) with PLR.

Can we do a sneak fortress? Like Zhengui knows how to be sneaky but cant due to size, ¿if we make visibility impossible can our enemies be crushed under fortress turtlesnek after being guided by two ice wraiths? Or are we just going for simple anvil and hammer type?

We kinda did that with the bandits though I did think of a way for him to be used in a surprise attack, use RME on our enemies to see where their goin and intercept ahead drop Zhengui on their path then just cover himself in foliage for further concealment so it looks more natural. Plus he can always shrink down a bit if we wanna go the extra mile.
