Sorry if I'm a bit confused (I've been following this story on and off). I was under the impression that by taking the Ice Diplomat route, we would be missing the tournament, but I'm seeing some people mentioning needing to prepare for the tournament as part of their plan choices. Am I mistaken?

That was the Inter-Sect tournament that will be happening in the middle of next year.

This is the end of year Outer Sect tournament, and there will be lots of politicing and schmoozing.

Expected progress. I figured it was the easiest way to communicate where we actually were with the plans, and make it easy to see where sites etc. would or would not be needed. As well as providing an easy reference for yrs.
 
bastion with argent went, stones and personal with vault and smile?

[X] Happy bastion's treasure
-[X] Raising the Bastion
-[X] The Opened Vault
-[X] Hidden Smile IV
 
I went in circles over this choice but I think the choice is to triple down on the moon. With the Sixiang arc and the idol we aren't really going to have more bonuses (I mean narratively not mechanically). So while there isn't a a known big payoff, I'm going to bet on it. Historically, making the moon happy has always paid off for us so I'm going to hope that holds true here. For Ling Qi, is there any greater compliment than spending her precious cultivation time on you (the moon)?

Also, I am very happy that there are so many different plans being discussed and voted in. The turn planning feels both vastly simpler, so that everyone understands what is going on and the choices we can make, but also more engaging (the choices make more of a difference). So thumbs up for the new system for that thus far.

Going through the Arts, my preferences would be:

For PLR: Echoing Grandeur
Ling Qi considered inviting some of her friends, like Xuan Shi, to the Dream Gala. This turn is a dream exploration with Sixian. Besides exploring the deeper mysteries of Dream is very good and our empowering toast is very important.

for SNR: We are but Ripples
When we go south to establish relationship with the Pole polity we should understand their mythology and part of that mythology is the power of the void between the stars. Exploring this aspect is very important. Void is also a higher level concept than Cold and Darkness. This is the only avenue that include the subject.

for BKSD: Xiangmen, Fortress of Tsu Pt. 1 ( Primacy of Beasts )
The Tree is an obvious choice. It's cool, got good concepts, gives us Weilu history, possible connection to Zhengui and it is a Pt. 1 of a series. But Primacy of Beasts would continue to explore the themes of the Nightmare about the civil war that gave us so much trouble. If we want to solve our Heart Demon problems this is a good choice.

for LFWT: The Opened Vault
Flying is very cool but we already did plenty of it, we have a floaty dress and we already fly short distances. It's about time we returned to our Thief origins. What's more, we'll be in the tournament. The events that attracts stupid, fabulously wealthy nobles from all over. It's time to get cracking and empty their overbloated storage ring from anything shiny. Time to get thieving and get the shinies! We can limit ourselves to Imperialist sympathizers if we want to be goody two shoes thieves.

for WHR: Winter Reinforcement
Unbroken Will. I think I said enough.

for UGM Soul of Ice
This is another big help to connect with the Pole Polity culture and understand our former teacher.

%%%

For our diplomatic mission and to better understand our former teacher we should learn:

Coolcoolcool:
[] We are but Ripples
[] Soul of Ice
It can wait a while because we're still in the Sect for the next few months.

&&&

For the Tournament we need a two pronged attack [The Opened Vault] will give us the clever hands to do the deed while [Playful Muse's Rapport] will give us the trustful face no one will suspect. Moonless Saboteur's Smile looks good on the surface but it's kind of suspicious. That's not a smile those jerk nobles will trust. Better to be beyond reproach.

They'll never suspect a thing:
[] Grinning
[] The Opened Vault
[] Playful Muse's Rapport

&&&

For this turn we need Primacy for Heart Demon and Zhengui and the horned skeleton, Echoing for Dream Quest and SSC Hidden to reinforce the revelations of the other two.

[X] A Hidden Plan
-[X] Hidden
-[X] Echoing Grandeur
-[X] Primacy of Beasts

You don't have the formatting quite right for plan votes there. You want:
[] For the New Moon
-[] Hidden
-[] Echoing Grandeur
-[] Primacy of Beasts

for it to get read by the tally (with X's ofc).
 
[X] Plan Dreams of Power
[X] Plan We Dream of a Society
[X] Plan Full Dreamwalking

Soul of Ice: Blizzard and glacier, fine snow and driving sleet. cruel wind and soft snow. Stasis, Inevitability, Endings and Renewal. There is more to ice, more to winter than meets the casual eye.

Ugh I want the trait quest chain but probably not time for that now.
