Why the fuck are we negotiating, let's summon the mini-kaiju and have him stomp all over this shithole.

holy fucking shitballs

For the record, something like half of Keiko's summons are in that size range. Off the top of my head: Panjandrum, Pangaya, Panarama, Pandamonium, and Pantomaimu are all of the Giant Pangolin subrace, meaning 20-ish' tall.

So I will observe a smidge of concern at this section, and to the equivalent sections from @FaintlySorcerous @Orisha91. Letting Takahashi be the guy who unites Isan is a good thing, yes, but we don't want to seem too aggressive or willing to back down to him, since it reflects badly on Leaf as aggressors and too easily subdued, thus weakening the idea of a Leaf-Isan alliance. To retierate: Takahashi should not be opposing Keiko, making her blink, or otherwise chastening her.

I think @Tua's section is the best fit for what I am looking for, which is having Takahashi speak softly and from a position where he recognizes that Isan has done wrong (ie a position of weakness). Because Isan has repeatedly used military violence to attack us when it didn't get its way.

Agree with this! So:

Pantomaimu is one of the big ones. Over 20' tall.

That makes the scene where Keiko puts her hand on top of his immense claw during Yuno's purification ritual even more hilarious.

I don't suppose I could convince you to unvote the other plan to force a delicious draw of epic consequences, one that shall be spoken about by our descendents for generations to come?

On the other hand, it's no surprise that the longer plan has more content, and the other plan is more dramatic...

I'll have you know that my plan has a sub bullet specifically named 'Dramatic Entrance!'. In bold and with an exclamation mark. Nifty, right?

@Shrooms
~~You still want your plan cut down in words?~~
Your plan, fewer words?

Nara shook his head. "Turn back, Kurosawa. Turn back before it's too late. Women are troublesome, and that one is the most troublesome of them all."

"I—I don't know what you're talking about."

"It's your funeral."

Then Nara gave a shadow of a smile.

"But first, let's make it theirs."

So we know that Kei thought Hazou was monogamous, and that Mari called Hazou being polyamorous (hence Kei now owing Mari some Nara Reserve). But Shikamaru knew Hazou for all of a week or so before absolutely calling it.

One cannot help but wonder how successful a Nara matchmaker would be.

Edit: just go bring the votes to a tie...

No worries, it'll be fine and this post won't at all age like fine milk.

WE'RE ALL GONNA DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

A tie is honestly fine, but just to be pedantic, ting voted for faflec which would've been an additional vote for me if it was formatted correctly

@eaglejarl @Velorien Could we have a timeline update?

New Ami-style training ideas:
-carry all the groceries to your house in one trip
-overfill your bowl of cereal, carry it to table without spilling it
-brush your teeth with your offhand
-stop your microwave .5 seconds before the timer goes off
-eat pizza bagels without burning your mouth

If you carry your own groceries, you have already failed to master the Way of Ami.

How else will Hazou grow big and strong?

What is the correct formatting for that btw? Should it have the @ before faflec?

FWIW I knew I wasn't going to check in in time to update so I (attempted to) chained my vote to faflec's, but I think I did actually prefer parts in the other plan so if I had voted myself I probably would have voted for both and it would still have been a tie ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's how I usually do it, I didn't think it was required though...
I thought so long as there's a space between the bracket and the username, it should work

I believe that the proper phrase is "dynamic entry."

I am not familiar enough to say whether this got changed recently or always worked like this but:

This reads like it will only copy one vote and only the most recent at that which was the Armaggedon Initiative.

But hey, look at the bright side. In case we end up with a TPK and we want to place some blame, we can have some fun.

don't mind me, just enjoying posting while the Isan team is still alive

RandomOTP · Jun 30, 2021

If it works out, then I'm a genius for making a tie. If they all die, then I'm going to shamelessly blame 2am thinking and hide in a hole for a week or two.

Oh gee, won't this be fun.

For the record, "lakes of boiling glass" are my lower gears. If I start muttering about Gray Lensmen break out the tranqs and pray you don't miss. Anything beyond that and you'd probably do humanity a net favor by just blowing the back of my head off. Aim for the brain stem.

You don't like Keiko, right? Or Noburi, or Yuno, or Mari?

Meh. Yuno still qualifies as "innocent bystander" and Nobs has grown into a legitimate bro.
