Implemented, thanks
Well given that it seems like we're about to try getting SC for people it seems to me that we will be spending a lot of that goodwill soon, but perhaps I am wrong

I'm tempted to ask about Swapping Mednin 10 for BRI 10. It's a halfcost Earth Element Jutsu, and a good jutsu, besides. But eh, I'll weight the pros and cons of that another time.

Speaking of which are you willing to vote for my plan
I noticed that Hazou only has 1 FP atm, so for safety reasons this time I'd suggest just rerolling the Callig rolls.
Normally rerolling Sealing -9/-12s is a very efficient way to spend FP as it's worth more than an invoke, but I don't think we have the FP to spare this time.

I am currently playing Tears of the Kingdom, check again in 2-8 weeks. (I'll look into it later tonight, haha.)
Really? How long's it been since we refreshed?

Is he due for a refresh?
He spent 3 FP (!!!) on that Deceit roll vs. Asuma last chapter. So he's due for refresh at the end of next chapter.

Why did he try to lie at all tbh. You can say "I would like to be able to work better with these people I hate" without lying about hating them.

While I'm pinging people @acidshill @Unaligned Player Would you be willing to take a look at and ideally vote for my plan? I see you voted for faflec but perhaps mine hold something that catch your eye (there are two of them)
I was assuming that we needed it by the deadline for Thursday updates. If we need it by tomorrow I might just vote not to get involved.

[X] Action Plan: Fine, I'll Do It Myself No Answer Key
Involving Hidan is a good idea, though I'd prefer we wait until after making tangible progress on Minato's notes to leak the cipher.

Sure, it seems like a perfectly fine plan. At the very least it should be an entertaining sanity check.
I would like it if you put something in there about Canvass doing a scent comparison, because at this rate it's never going to happen.

Welcome to Marked For Death, an AU Naruto-verse quest by and for the rational fiction crowd. The protagonist, Gōketsu-née-Kurosawa Hazō, is a young ninja from the Village Hidden in the Mist who went missing, had adventures, and then managed to buy his way into the Village Hidden in the Leaves by way of a seal that he co-invented which transformed warfare.
For anyone new to quest participation, the basic notion (for the purposes of this story) is that everyone in the thread controls a single character (Hazō) by voting on what the character does. We use approval voting, meaning that you can vote for as many plans as you like.
This AU has some significant changes from canon, so be careful relying on OOC knowledge. Also, very important: Filler is not canon in MfD unless explicitly stated to be.

Special thanks to:
Loremaster First Class: faflec. His photographic memory has made it much easier for both players and QMs to keep everything straight. We've started checking things with him before deploying them, just to make sure we don't accidentally contradict ourselves.
Former QMs: AugSphere and Jackercracks for their early contributions in setting up and running the first portions of the quest.
Thank Yous and Acknowledgements
The QMs would like to say that we have the most amazing players ever. They spent time, energy, and real-world money to commission professional fanart as birthday presents for myself (eaglejarl) and Velorien. These are actual physical paintings that they snail-mailed to us. You folks rule.
Expand the following so that you can see both of the amazing pieces:
Finally, a special thank you to the talented artist and Naruto fan 'ShadowRebirth' (I think that's the right name), who created the gorgeous map of the Elemental Nations that we are using. They are not associated with us, but tip of the hat regardless.
@eaglejarl @Velorien @Paperclipped
I note, sadly, that a lot of the imgur links to art posted in thread over the years are now no longer available, so a lot of the linked art in the info post and in the Media tabs are not showing up.

Would you be willing to vote for the version that doesn't have that part btw?
Word count is tight but I'll try to work it in

"What would the training look like? Shadowing Asuma as clan head/Hokage?"
Can we make it a storage scroll? That it's on a slip of paper makes it pretty clear that the answer is obvious - at least, short.
This seems weird to me. May? I figured that this was a dead-man switch sort of thing.

works for me
sure, works
It can be reworded but I wasn't imagining it to be a deadman switch personally, moreso just that he has the solution on hand if he needs it. I think a true deadman's switch would need some more thought put into it
