Oh, good, OOC confirmation that Konoha is built upon an aquifer facilitating RockFall, which actually makes sense given its abundance of hot springs, which implies that RockFall could have been tectonically worse- I'm going to just assume that you're calculating the biowarfare effort to the North because I tend to get yelled at for "giving the GM ideas!"
Well, it's not as if his sister and sister-in-soon-to-be-law are experts in bladed implements or anything...
Hiashi's death may have been the worst thing to ever happen to us. Imagine the circles we could have run around that supposedly all-seeing jerk.
It isn't already? What is even the point of sealing failures.
In all seriousness I endorse this. He probably won't kill us for merely asking, and it's worth maintaining contact.
Long hair is a display of multi-year health and nutrition. Granted, that's usually more relevant to females, but flagrantly displaying that a former missing-nin has achieved it might have value.
Nobody messes with Ami. They just set the starting board for how she messes with them.
This sounds like an avenue of attack to mention to Asuma...
One of the lesser-known achievements of Leonardo DaVinci was working out how to conquer an opponent city-state by diverting an entire river into powering the largest industrial center of its day...
Yay! Let's get into a debate with the Eldritch Horror about the details of Nth-dimensional knot theory!
Okay, right behind resurrection is incorporealization.
I'm starting to see some potential problems with plan FOOM.

Honestly, all the hype about telescopes is a little infectious. Provided you don't do anything crazy --punch Orochimaru in the face, be cruel to an Uplift member, propose marriage to Lee, etc --I'll precommit to your next plan that involves telescopes. I'm honestly kinda curious as to where this'll go. Who knows, maybe the moon is really the empty husk of a sealed Outer Being?

On the one hand, proposing to Lee sounds too similar to a youth suit incident for me to be comfortable. On the other, it would be hilarious, and Lee with his innuendo would likely not get it for Far too long. Please please please, someone take up the banner of Omake material.

We make a microscope and can see grains of sand, really small particulate matter and stuff, but there are no cells! No bacteria, no microorganisms, the "spirits" theory of disease is true.

In the real world basically everything is on top of an aquifer. Because they are basically everywhere.
Aquifers just mean there is water embedded in the rock if you go far enough down. The Sahara desert has an aquifer!

Since we are pretty much free from any obligations we will be able to go on another scroll hunt. What are the minimum amount of things that people would want to acquire before people would be comfortable go hunting? Mine currently are SC 20, improved casino seals and a tracker dog.

- Yes.
Depends on where we're going and what sort of information we get from follow-up Summoning discussion (i.e., the Otter's response). If we get some actionable information we could go earlier, but if we don't we may want to wait for at least the next tier of stuff to go.
No matter the situation, I think we should at least finish + test our modified casino seals, as well as getting our position with the Dogs/Toads secured.

Like Faflec said, I think that it largely depends on where our hunt leads us and what information we get towards that end. I'm personally thinking that we should at least secure Hazou and Noburi's positions as Summoners, finish the casino seals, and --after leveling it up --train with the SC in a low risk combat setting. Not to mention whatever surprise encounters (social or otherwise) that might crop up while we work on our preparations.
Of course, if our hunt leads us to go somewhere as dangerous as say... Cloud or Sand, then I'd say we need to bulk up even more.

So...what's Hazou/Kagome's opinion on how difficult the seal would be to learn? @eaglejarl @Velorien @OliWhail

What about precommitting to vote for general plans that involve telescopes?

I think there are enough specialty areas we don't generally consider which would have Special Jonin, @GlassOlive mentioned some above and there are likely others - whether they count as functional Jonin or dead Chunin - either way, it gives the QMs wiggle room to call people Jonin without worrying about those numbers too much.

Hm... sure. I'll extend the precommitted vote to any reasonable plan that involves getting a telescope, as long as you don't do anything too insane (like out-Youthing Lee, burning down Tsunade's home, or wooing Sasuke) or mean/cruel (like insulting Mari, humiliating Keiko, or disparaging Kagome)*. If it's more than one or two action plans in the future, though, you might have to remind me. I'm packing up my stuff and, in a few weeks, going to move across the country. So I might forget, simply because my life's about to get very crazy --hopefully in a good way.
*blah blah, [insert standard disclaimer about withholding the ability to decline to vote for a plan that has a "personal breaking point" not mentioned in the examples] blah blah. I make this precommitment in good faith and ask that the plan-makers do the same.

Excellent, because as far as I see it we have a date with destiny.
No telescopes without the telescope merchant!

I'm well behind on the thread, so apologies if already discussed, but in terms of transporting the pups this could be super useful.
Put the pups on a platform of some sort with curved sides, position the adult dogs on each side with a Repulsion Seal matched (at an angle) to its corresponding seal on the curved section, each adult dog approaches their side simultaneously and the platform should be repulsed into the air. The continued presence of the adult dogs with their seals should keep the platform aloft, stable, and matching their speed as they run.

Have fun and don't stress on our account!
Have ropes for it so they can keep a hold of it as well, as a secondary measure.

Realistically speaking, I'd rather take the time to do things right with a high rate of success. The fabric isn't likely to fall apart soon, and if it is there's not much we can do about it in the short-term anyway.
I'm fairly sure asking Keiko is a bad idea too. I don't think she's capable of objectively thinking about Ami given the absolute mess she was at the Chunin Exams. Also out of respect for Keiko I'd say be very tactful about going after a secret we know she wants to hide. Yuno's case was an instance of not thinking when she didn't seem to fully grasp the importance. We don't have the same excuse.
I agree with this. I think it's important to consider that Ami isn't invincibly powerful either. She created AMI and KEI, but those are organizations (especially KEI) that she can't realistically expect to maintain total control of for long periods of time. This narrows down her goals to those advanced by creating teamwork based organizations for the less fortunate, and due to her relatively low personal power and the fact that KEI is becoming the Kei clan and thus somewhat self-sufficient, we can conclude that the existance of these structures somehow advances her end goal. We also know she keeps her word/promises and is very attached to Keiko, who is also onboard with Uplift.
These facts lead me to tentatively trust her with things that we aren't desperate to hide. 7P things for example - since she isn't a summoner, she has less influence than we do, it's not secret that we want to create at least a trade alliance, and I don't see an obvious way for her to mess things up. This is also a good test for her. If the information leaks or she acts on it, we don't trust her further, and if it doesn't leak, even when it would benefit her, we can give her more trust.
And a quick question - Hazou's SC memories don't get recorded with the Iron Nerve, do they? Like if his clone practiced Taijutsu, dispelled, and he got the memories, he couldn't replicate it because his muscles connected with the Iron Nerve haven't physically done them, correct?

He would not be able to precisely replicate the move with the Iron Nerve, but his basic skill at taijutsu would improve. Mechanically, the Shadow Clones generate XP when they train and Hazō can use that XP to buy whatever he wants. Check post #2 for a link to player-known jutsu; it includes the SC and how training works.
