........please vote in a different plan if you aren't going to vote for mine. Not using Kei's 300 XP for the conclave is, imo, a pretty foolish choice.
(Here it is, for the record.)

Literally nothing we can spend 300 XP on will help us against an entire room of S-Rankers. Some socials might make for a slightly better position, but I don't know enough about that subject to propose what would be helpful and it will likely be negligible anyways.
What you proposed certainly would have zero effect at the Conclave.

No offense, but how much have you actually followed what we're supposed to be doing at the conclave? We're not dealing with any essies until 3 weeks from now. Enma told us we'd be dealing with Ambassadors, Merchants, and mooks and winning them over or fending them off before the main event. And yes, that means we will have to be fighting some people, as well as socializing with them.

I don't know using an ability that terrifies a boss is a pretty swagger Sanin style move

It would be badass, but Pantsaa said not to use it "on pain of death"... if the latest april fools update is any indication I might have an inkling why

There are times to vote in long-term expenses. There are times to vote in medium-term expenses. And there are times to vote in expenses based solely on their utility in the very next chapter. This is one such training plan.

Has Mari said anything about whether Akane can resume FOOMing safely yet?

Kei really needs to level a PCS, but I feel like RW isn't the ideal thing to focus on in this scenario, being purely offensive and not helping defend against assassination. We want to fight nonlethally, so Goo Bombs are our best bet for her (until Kei gets RW 50 or so, and can roll consistently higher than a 60 TN), therefore:
[X] Kei Training Plan: Summoners Should Dodge
Athletics 50 -> 55
Intimidation 20 -> 23
2 exp remaining.
Or we could go all in on intimidation- maybe save some lives by convincing them we mean business.
[] Kei Training Plan: An Ounce of Prevention
Intimidation 20 -> 32 (-318) save 18 exp

[x] Hazo Training Plan: Itty Bitty Rapport
Rapport 20 -> 21 (-21 xp, 8 remaining)
One more rapport gives Hazo effective 30, which is nice for invokes and whatnot in social settings (Hint hint, nudge nudge).

I imagine that having a city layout would still improve the QoL for our "nearly a thousand" civilians, which is the goal of copying the Uchiha layout.
Not every hire, no, but I'd still want Hazou/Mari/Kei to approve/vet the businesses hired, if only because more eyes mean that there's a decreased chance at us hiring a corrupt businessman or inhumane construction crews. It's already going to take several months to design and build, taking an extra week to ensure our money is going somewhere worthwhile seems... well, worthwhile.
Medical: safe placement of water wells, safe sources for water features for the gardens, proper placement (and safety standards) of latrines, etc.
I&S: Mari's an infiltration spec. I figure she can tell us where to put up guard posts, lampposts, and the like for maximum effectiveness.
Damn, I'd hoped since they were all clanless ninja, they'd have sponsored a few. I'll change it to "KEI-recommended" to keep with the intent (closer bonds with KEI). Also, if KEI is recommending a work crew to us, that's an additional sanity check that would help to minimize possible corruption.
Primarily, yeah.
Yup yup. Show that we still care about defense, but also nod to Leaf's architectural influences.
Also it's prettier than bare stone.
Nice, love the reduced word count ^.^
Thanks, I'm quite proud of it ^.^
Not particularly, it's meant to recreate the one we had on the old estate. The one that we held the adoption party for Atomu, Reo, and Mai (rip) in.
Increased durability against underground chakra-microlife (which we know is a concern, based on when Hazou saved all the civilians that one winter, and had the Pangolins roll around to kill them off out of fear that the chakra microlife would harm civilians), increased resistance to weeds, easier maintenance, longevity of the stones themselves (less replacement, cheaper in the long term).
Woot, love to save word count ^.^
Thank you, I'm quite proud of it ^.^

Hm. Maybe "Brick facades over normal MEW walls."
It's meant to be FOOM excuse for why Noburi goes in there often while also allowing for a narrative way to show Resolve Training (zen garden). The debris guards are to keep the koi pond from getting an undue amount of zen-garden sand/rocks in the pond, and possibly harming their ecosystem (idk how fragile the koi are, or how stringent their environmental needs, so it seems like a safe plan).
Also, the thigh-high wall would let you sit down and look at the pretty fish.
Thanks, I'm quite proud of them!
Thanks, I'm quite proud of the accomplishment! While I see the nudity as more artistic than anything (and no more sexual than a nude model for a portrait), the Arachnid Silks allow us to flaunt our wealth while also reminding people of the Goketsu Clan's many Summoners while also-also reminding people of our connection to Jiraiya.
I figure that we have "nearly a thousand" civilians. Take a handful and put them in charge of it.

Updated, changes in highlights.
Cribbed a bit from @MadScientist 's plan and from @Paperclipped 's idea about a Nara Homage. Ping me for suggested edits.

[X] Conclave Combat SOP

[x] [Estate] Links
Second thoroughfare statue of Jiraiya with three saplings growing near it. Start smaller, planned to outgrow statue representing his kids' growing contributions to Leaf. Birch, chestnut, ironbark? Equal sized tree next to statue. Willow or cherry blossom?
Unique resources to show off? Silk tapestries, Toad art, Arachnid molts for roof gargoyles? Steal designs of beautiful civilian works? Not defended by shinobi, take molds of statues to reproduce. Speed up rock sculptors by being their undo function.
Point system for residents to influence construction choices by making contributions to construction? Library? Spying nooks? Fast communication tunnel to Nara? Hang lights or military medals in sky above compound?

We should really cut the Uchiha section, given what the QMs told us about what it would imply.
