- naruto rationalist romance armageddon is looking better and better damn you kishimoto explosions everywhere explosives solve everyone if in doubt surrender to the mercy of zabuza it seemed like a good idea at the time looks like a really bad case of being a jōnin my god. where does the lore end? precommitting is the winning plan screaming in kagome screw the rules i have explosives something bad might still happen sometimes you gotta sociopath stabby zabby subsection c of paragraph 9 should include we can weaponize this so hard
Is it a good idea to shove the Doggos into the misc section when it's very important to our survival? Misc is for doing actions that are not terribly important but things we like to see happen anyway, or necessary boring background stuff. I don't see how deemphasis of Doggos qualify.
Also, we're also doing a lot of stuff in the Noburi/Toads section that the QMs are going to have to think about. What are the most important thing we should be doing with the toads anyway?
[X] Action Plan: Abomination Rejiggered.
- Ask Keiko for a more-detailed Uplift plan for later analysis and discussion.
- Chat with Ino.
- Get Mari's advice; we want things to go well.
- Genuinely thank her for sending Choki. It meant a lot to us.
- Really, you're always there if we need help; you're too good for us.
- Is there anything we can do to help you?
- The 'concubine law':
- Earnestly ask for her support.
- Our opinion: It's really dumb someone like Keiko must hide her relationship and do all of thisjust to have some sort of legal recognition. Love is love, right?
- We don't expect things to change quickly, but we do hope it's a step in the right direction.
- That being said, we do want to hear any of Ino's concerns out. Listen nonjudgmentally and discuss solutions.
- Also, Shikamaru would probably be in her debt for infinity plus a billion eons.
- Akane wanted to hang out with us.
- Meet with Noburi (medium OPSEC):
- 'Akimichi Chakra Enhancement Technique': How does this interact with Noburi's bloodline?
- Research the jutsu notes, see if we can speak with a knowledgeable Akimichi.
- Double-check with Tsunade for medical advice.
- 'Akimichi Chakra Enhancement Technique': How does this interact with Noburi's bloodline?
- Misc.:
- Search Jiraiya's notes for Orochimaru-related intel.
- Task Mari with acquiring the grape-producing land.
- Start a Glassworker R&D team. Research in order of completion:
- Wine bottle(IFF don't exist)
- Reinvent the telescope
- Continue seal research.

The thread was silent. MMKII had just upended the norms of the thread completely. They had all just witnessed the most blatant display of thread politics since Game Theoretic Coercion.
Would the way plans accrue votes, nay, would the thread's very culture itself, ever be the same again?

*Boy does this voice need to quite smoking*
And then the thread went right back to normal.

I'm not casting judgement one way or another, I was just impressed with the boldness of the move and wondering whether this (the tactic, not the plan) is a good idea.

Some folks say that you can't be Chaotic Neutral and hold to a code...
Well, some folks have never met me.

@eaglejarl Could we have commentary on the top 3 plans, if you have time?

Lots of good pathos and emotional speeches here. Sounds good.
The Noburi section is a Fibber McGee's Closet of stuff, easily an update or more unto itself.
You were working on chakdar most recently. We never figured out where that stands; what do you want to research next if chakdar is finished?
Forgive me, but I cannot comment on this plan.
Copyedit: "thisjust" is two words, not one.
Generally the same comments as above.
Ah, the word 'utilize'. The more sesquipedalian sibling of 'use'.
Have no fear. I have a positively
So far Snowflake is entirely @Velorien's creation as I haven't gotten around to writing her yet. I don't know enough about DID to make use of it but may have to look it up.

Per @eaglejarl's advice cut down the Noburi section and added additional seal research

Yeah that's probably an accurate description. You've got a ton of scenes in there. I suggest you cut the Noburi talk and move the dogs up to the top.

[X] Action Plan: A Talk with Ino Yamanaka
See? It's been too long since there's been a good punching scene, do the right thing. Next time we can give @Velorien the rom-com he craves as well.

Not exactly. Their situation is fairly unprecedented. For one, because of the Frozen Skein thing, they effectively have different brains that work in different ways, and a rather complicated memory situation.
Keiko was originally enthusiastic about SC because it would remove her Frozen Skein handicap.
However with Snowflake viewing herself as separate from Keiko, and Keiko not able to fully integrate Snowflake's memories.
It seems like there is no longer an emotional benefit to Keiko in using SC to remove her handicap.
Suggesting that Snowflake's continued existence depends entirely on proving her value to Keiko. Although given the current results that doesn't sound too hard far her.
Man voting session is short this time.
@Kiba, @faflec Y'all should clarify how long the action plan is intended to last. There are something items that could take a while.
For now since it looks like the shortest timespan plan

Hopefully we can sell this as a favor to Shikamaru. To get closer to Forbidden Lore trust.

- Yes.
Yeah, sorry roobee, I'm a little bit...burned out. Probably won't be able to make changes.
We also have to consider we're dealing with politics here. Ino may not have any personal objections to the law, but she's not exactly a seasoned clan head either, and might be subject to internal clan pressures here. I think we've come far enough to not have to worry about it, but I still hope Hazou approaches this tactfully. Ino's concerns might not be something she wants to discuss with an outsider, especially if she wants Hazou to maintain a certain impression of her.
Utilize makes me think professionalism, applying and leveraging knowledge, and Mari taking over the entirety of the Konoha economic structure. Use is more hitting a nail with a hammer.

- how about no
You are correct and even though I wasn't able to make it in time to vote I'm still very glad that the plan won.
I'm already here though so I might as well give some feedback on the plan. Who knows? Perhaps EJ might find something useful from this.
I foresee a scene where Hazou freezes up after Ino asks him whether or not he personally has a stake in such a law. Hazou will say of course, because it's for Keiko his sister and it doesn't get more personal than that. Ino will huff and Hazou will smile in the way the only truely dense can.
In other words, it's a Tuesday. This is not a bad thing: our denseness can be adorkable at times and I'm sure it will be a lovely scene.
I have it on good authority that:
So this will be good.
Ino side quest?!?!
All of my YES.
This confuses me and I'm sure it will stump Ino for a bit too as she tries to figure out what exactly the subtext is here. I'm hopeful that it will help us regain the flow of the conversation at least.
Am I... out of touch..? Do the kids these days really go into public restaurants and have Book Club: Smut Edition on a date? Do the children even have book clubs?!?!
This is going to be veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery interesting. Either we stick our foot in our mouth further in than usual or Hazou uses some of his agency to waggle his eyebrows and make some classy innuendos instead.
I am highly looking forward to tomorrow's update now.

I never knew I needed this to be part of culture. But now, I most definitely want this to be a normal part of culture.
