Threads Of Destiny(Eastern Fantasy, Sequel to Forge of Destiny)

Voted best in category in the Users' Choice awards.
Just bc we can't avoid it doesn't mean we have to do it this turn.
I mean this turn is kind of the best time tbh. If we have follow-up then we want to be opening that up, and tying our networking into our preperations. The setup for this with things like Meizhen and Luo Zhong has already been done and having it be delayed longer just gets silly.

There's also not really any better alternative, as in contrast Paying Respects is really something best left for near the end of our time at the Sect, and that's still months away. That's a turn 17 action imo.
 
[x] Plan: Phantoms, Presents, and Politics

This's got my priorities in it. Finish off PLR, crack open the rest of Wind Thief, start untangling how we're going to leverage the political connections we've made at the sect into our transition to greater arenas. It's also reasonably compact while giving yrsillar some options on what projects he pairs off, and it lets us hit that Isolation threshold which gives us some scheduling flexibility, even if I suspect we won't need it.

The Tree version of this plan is fine too, has its own advantages, just not my absolutely favourite choice.
 
Hmmm, TREE + phantasmal mastery might actually work pretty well here.

If we start with getting Phantasmal Mastery with uncle skele, then that sets us up for some nice construct based sparring with BKSD, which then also gives the opportunity to show off big tree and the themes in that project are also arguably pretty well aligned with the broader political stuff in the Wang group. As well as giving a good opportunity to highlight the loss of our flute and it weakening us a bit.
 
Is there a reason that Hou Zhuang's Gift is so popular? It's cool and all, but the other options aren't going to be available when we leave the Sect. No one wants to double up on Hostess and Paying Respects?
 
[X] Plan: Phantoms, Presents, and Pines

I can live with an anniversary FSS+, but no TREE is a line too far.

(Also, we can use Argent Domain/Omake bonuses to get Xiangman to doubled success, right? Because that would earn us a rank-up in Home, which we have few other sources for.)
 
[X] Plan: Spinning Webs
-[X] Root Inroads

Couldn't keep awake for vote start, so, gotta see if I can get at least some votes :p

Two reasons really. One is it's something we've already been working on, better to keep momentum going then to drop it and pick it back up. Two we are starving to expand our political/informational network. Hostess and Paying Respects just shores up the connections we've already made at the Sect which isn't bad but isn't critical either.
