Well guys better to start planning for an apology and to spend a social action in Guan Zhi next week. Dunno, a spar? Maybe going to the brothel and paying for him? :V
 
And yeah, I think Guan Zhi will be pissed we didn't at least ask him. Shit. We don't even have an excuse to give him, we just forgot one of our bros.

OOC, the voters clearly just didn't invite him yes (Though people did repeatedly mention the issue). IC though he could easily not think anything of it, as once Gao Jin didn't go it was no longer the whole brotherhood anyway, so defaulting to one of Yin's friends and one of Yang's is a pretty natural thing.
 
[] Approach Ling Daiyu. This will be an obvious signal that you disapprove of the service used by Song Chyou. This will also build your reputation with Ling Daiyu's faction. Without more, it is not a declaration of support for Ling Daiyu's faction. You may write-in more to tie yourself closer.

Song is a bully.

[] Accept Buns. Hua Yin does not think she would be very good in the woods. If anything, the somewhat prissy girl might even be a detriment.

The more the merrier

[] Wander and see what there is to discover.

Idk I don't want Li Gai to lose his font to the nobles
 
Yang, might not but dunno about what Buns will do.

It would be crazy for Buns to try to wrangle her boss into conflict with our group. She's not a long time trusted second of Yang or anything, she's someone Yang begrudgingly took on when she realized she couldn't avoid a posse. Stirring up conflict like that would lose her way more than it would gain.

They're both petty and vindictive, but since this isn't actually supporting Ling's faction. Making a show of disapproval for gratuitous humiliation seems fine, might help in establishing some more moderating norms of behavior for the first years, rather than everyone thinking it's open season and spiraling out of control.

[X] Nothing changes, and Hua Yin will be seen as just another faceless watcher.

But actually I just don't feel like dealing with it at the moment.

Solid reward at the end, chance of combat, and bonds with Yang's group, a nice result. Wandering can wait until we raise our survival.

First you'd need to reach an agreement to keep it secret, and that will likely be based on mutual use of the Font for both factions, I suppose. Sure Yang's faction will want to keep it for themselves, but it'd be nice for our group to have exclusive rights.

A pity about the lost successes, but overall things went well.

Not interested in getting involved here.

Since I think going for the guaranteed find rather than wandering aimlessly is the smart play, it doesn't matter so much that Buns isn't good in the woods.

@warumono, is the Coruscant Cut something we can just look for in the archives, or do we need a pass for the technique hall like was mentioned at one point?

Pass for the Technique Repository. If you had been a more dedicated Archivist, there would've been a discount.

Why? Doesn't appear to gain us much, most of the group is probably not even going to use it. Unless you want to spend time trying to set up a business selling access or something. But at this point I'm skeptical such a business would see many takers this late in the year.

In comparison, wandering has the likely result of just not finding anything, likely leaving Yang less interested in future collaboration. Or even in the case we do find something, it's quite possibly something that would hurt much more to split than a font.

Ah, it's something we can buy? I thought it was more like a permission slip we needed to earn. That's not bad then.

I don't think getting involved in the feud more directly is going to end well for us.
We'll be friendlyish with both, but getting between the two is gonna be pure ouch.
As for the Font, the group isn't going to be big enough to hurt usage rights. It'd be fine, and more people would be good if we had to fight a bear.
 
Uh, why didn't people ask for him?

That seems an odd oversight, and it does feel like an oversight.

[X] Plan Exploration on Fire

Basically Levinsploration but with Guan Zhi instead of Yang.

Changing because I agree it seems out of character for Hua to not include him.

People did, vote didn't have a chance to change before update dropped.

For the next update I'd really like a dedicated Guan Zhi action now.

Li Gai showing his competence to Yang and making a connection there is probably more helpful to him then monopolizing a font, considering he has access to a minimum of three already beyond this one.

I very much doubt Yang would try to take over the font in the first place though.

makes sense, ill give them the benefit of doubt

- I don't want to favour either side of Song/Ling at this point. We've done enough. Let's not ruin our impartiality here.
- I want to see the Glass put to use finally.
- We need to give Yang a bit of face. Between 2 Spirit realms, forrester Li Gai and the Glass hopefully the Buns malus is negated.

I'm not thinking of selling anything. At a certain point we're going to need more Fonts to fuel our cultivation, the more people use it the less boost we're likely to get from it.
 
Basically I felt three was the max number of people I wanted to bring and wanted to bring Yang along. 🤷

Reminder: There was in fact a reason we did not invite GZ. Agreement or disagreement with such reasoning aside, saying reasoning was nonexistant is just false

We spend a lot of time with SC at mealtimes, so this feels more akin to a statement of neutrality than just sitting by. It also does just feel a little icky what's being done here, but I can see where SC is coming from.

The main point here was YG social, and if this is what it's gonna take so be it.

This is a bit more of a dangerous option (especially with Buns coming along), and I don't really mind this vote going either way, but I agree that I wanna see what the Glass can do.

Yeah. Since the QM called it out I'll assume it was the wrong choice. Remains to be seen if it's an actual issue or will blow over, but I will acknowledge it was probably the wrong call on my part. My bad folks.

It is fine Kreen, we will deal with what comes. Next time we just need to be sure to consider in-universe connections and reasons. It was good you put Guan Zhi aside and not Li Gai tbf, GZ is more cool-headed and more reasonable.

These are all first year sites though, we won't be able to use them after that. So since we're unlikely to get beyond mid Spirit by years end regardless, hoarding them doesn't do much for us.
