[] Walk the walk, after talking the talk. Now that we're healed, go to Asuma and ask for a mission.

I would unironically vote for this right now if not for the research
@Sir Stompy Was wondering if there was any word on a fix for the Skyslicer's vulnerability to fire? Was this an issue with the seals themselves or the spidersilk used for the nets?
Not having an easy time right now. Words and writing are hard. The way uncaps work, they prevent raising lower skills to the top of the pyramid as easily. One solution is to do nothing. It's fine if it's harder. Another is to allow pyramid rules to be bent. IDK. If jumping from 30 to 50 used to be acceptable, but now 30 to 35 to 40 to 45 to 50 is not, bend the rules at the price that once the path begins, future XP is locked in until a valid pyramid is reached again. Bad luck uncapping? Too bad, keep trying until the contract is complete.

EJ has a standing XP bounty on mounting a Dragon's skeleton in our parlor, and using it to intimidate Lord Hagoromo...

<.<
How much is the bounty?

The "raw" bounty was 10 XP, but that's also without factoring "QM enjoyment" XP.
Still, bounties aside, it's something I suspect many of us (players and QMs alike) would enjoy reading.
How does Kage Bunshin training work? Is putting that XP in chakra pool, physique and bloodline skills prevented?

Jutsu known to players doc said:
In theory, training in those three skills you indicated (and probably some others) shouldn't work, but I think the QMs are generally gracious and not managing those specifics as long as we're not consistently abusing that nuance. Most of our training happens gradually over weeks/months even though it's "spent" in a single vote. So over three weeks Prime might work only on chakra capacity while the others practice transferable skills.

I'm sorry you're having it rough, and thank you for making the effort. It's much clearer now.
@Ipsos Custodes got it exactly right.

As an FYI, this will be interpreted as what you want to work on for the NEXT update. If you want to vote for what happened retroactively during this update then you need the "(Clones)" tag. This is why I wrote up all the options so as to make it easy to copy/paste. Also, note that options that are not listed are not going to be counted.multiple people said:

Would you mind changing this to
[X](Clones) The clones took care of Hazou's duties while he researched ARS
Last time we started ARS research it was limited by calligraphy. And clones don't get the plus 3 from Iron nerve

Hey questers, please be careful with your votes. One of those votes is currently the winning "plan" for the next update with 7 votes. Please use the "(Clones)" tag as requested by EJ so that your vote is counted correctly.

A few of us on that list already made correct votes - we just forgot to remove the old ones.
(It's still important that we do so.)

Thanks for the reminder. Removed old vote, accordingly.
There is no fix, 5SB'd objects do not resist fire. There is in all likelihood no substance that when spun into a 3um thread will resist dragonfire. This is not the end of the world, because Dragons are not constantly breathing fire. But it is a serious concern.
I think we should do something special for the 500th chapter. So here it is
[X] Happy 500th Chapter EJ Here's Some Dragonslaying
Word Count: 299

- Ask for Arachinds with tunneling and escape jutsu
- Report concerns about dragonfire damaging the skyslicer.
- Talk to bait team survivors to pinpoint when Dragons are likely to breathe fire.
- Design the skyslicer ambush so that the Dragon flies through the skyslicer before it comes into range of bait.
- Hazou will send a Clone to assist tunneling. Clone type is secret if asked
- Request intel on potential ambush sites and review them, visit in person only if absolutely necessary
- Connect the final ambush site to the tunnel to the Great Seal
- Make sure the new tunnel can be collapsed instantly
- Prepare the ambush site
- Dry run skyslicer emplacement and ambush multiple times with appropriate teams
- Ambush team hides just below ground in hidden foxholes
- Tunnel over and up from farther away so ground is undisturbed

- Execute the ambush - Return to the Human Path as soon as Hazou integrates memories from SC, or the all-clear is given

As always, suggestions welcome. I'll be back online at around 6PM EST and late tonight to make changes.
