Can we drop our combat domain somehow? The only real reason we go into combat is that we need to unstagnate... It's not really something we do anymore.
Have we confirmed that we can in fact make this Declare?
I lol'ed too hard at this. Thanks, @eaglejarl.
In no particular order:
I think an Ami interlude would be cool, either what she's up to now or a continuation of her date contest with Snow.
No
Yes
Nah, we've asked. Ninja Culture being what it is means that you're indoctrinated into it and have it from the Academy, onwards. Otherwise Orochimaru would've ditched it way back when.
There are a few angles complicating this:
As others have said, we can't actually do this, and we still do want to do combat pretty regularly (example; surviving in the beyond-Wind chakra beast land),but I think it's also worth noting that in general having two domains is better than one almost regardless of what they are. If we dropped Combat, we'd have to unstagnate Sealing every 500 XP instead of 1000, and we've barely kept up with our Sealing unstagnations in an arc we've spent doing almost nothing but research. Furthermore, we wouldn't be able to unstagnate as far in advance. With two domains, we can remove barriers up to 1000 XP ahead of where we actually are; with one, we can only remove barriers 500 XP ahead, so we'd have to be a lot more consistent about when we did unstagnations and e.g. getting a Severe for three months so we couldn't unstagnate would be a much bigger loss to our XP. Finally, with two domains, the penalty for being fully stagnant in one is reduced compared to if you only have one domain (0.3 vs 0.1).
If a bunch of players showed interest in seeing a continuation of Hazō's conversation with King Kamehameha, would that make you more likely to write it?
Good to know, but it is also extremely spoon-costly. Since interludes are traditionally things we do when low on time/spoons, it is in an awkward position (and there are also some heavy cosmological questions in there which would require triple QM signoff).
Good to know.
How about a Honoka interlude, showing what things have been like for her after we went missing-nin ? We are about to end the quest or return to Leaf soon, so either way we'll soon know what happened to the clan.
I'd personally like something happy and I have a feeling her life got a LOT worse in meaningful ways after we went missing.
Nope. To my knowledge, even Reo — perhaps the ultimate example of someone well suited to this — hasn't been able to drop his Combat domain. We haven't got an explicit ruling about that, however, and you may want to check with the QMs on the issue if you really are serious about pursuing a dropped Combat domain.
I don't think we're actually voting - votes are just being used as a convenient way to aggregate suggestions so Vel doesn't need to scroll through N pages.
