Suyin and Xiulan are kind of opposing in the Cultivation ideals: Suyin champions the scientific approach while Xiulan prefers the passionate path. This hasn't actually popped in on the narratives, aside from Ling Qi noting it though...

Oh, and presumably, Xiulan is like this to most rabble. She basically did the same with Ling Qi, just that Ling Qi is more... Interesting after a while? Has Han Jian vouching for her?
Xiulan did mention that her family arts where driven by emotions more then meditation and study, so there is that.

Ling Qi and Xiulan's relationship did take a bit of work to get going yes. She started out dismissive but followed Han Jian's lead, probably also partly because Fan Yu dislikes Ling Qi, but then Ling Qi got a hit in during the first spar and the ball started rolling. It was pretty much the test tho that cemented Ling Qi as a potential resource/minion/friend/burn buddy, especially after she passed the second test.

In short Ling Qi showed potential and lived up to it. She is also a way for Xiulan to get more fights then she would otherwise.

Yeah, I'm honestly a little surprised myself at how things went with Xiulan. Like I've said her character archetype is typically antagonistic in this kind of thing, but then Ling Qi got her lucky hit in the first spar and the test went down the way it did, and the character got away from me a bit.

Well, so far she has been a very good ally and friend for Ling Qi, so I'm happy the way it went.
 
Could we switch this to. Or an equivalent.

If failed yellow try Silver. If failed Silver Social. If passed continue with 2nd attempt

That way if Silver 1 was the first roll and failed we social. However if Yellow 1 failed we try a Silver 1. Letting it sit there does no good for us. However if they pass we continue onto the 2nd attempt for Silver/Yellow or whatever gets attempted.

Order of Priority: Yellow -> Silver -> Switch to other if failed first attempt -> Social replacement action

If we fail the roll, the soonest we can break through is next turn.
 
*sees plan double break catching up*

Guise stahppp D: lol

Nah jk vote for what you guys want but I really hope either housesitting or fire wins.

Also I want to go house shopping with snek girl dammit you will not take this from me :cry::mad:
 
I'm super excited for any plan to win. I must say I prefer mine, but I wouldn't mind Housesitting to win either. May the best plan win!

Remember to look at the whole list - votes get orphaned and separated from each other.
 
Aw, people are still not interested in cards for some reason.

Also, didn't we think to gift pin to Su Ling and Anklets to Suyin?​
 
Both Housesitting and Fire has us gifting them those things to Su Ling and Li Suyin
Oh, I thought I read some plans as having gift the pin to Suyin and anklets to Su Ling for some reason, thus my confusion.

Also, had the idea of trading a card filled with Crescent Grace to Su Ling in return of getting a card filled with her last ditch Fire art.

Not sure if Suyin is willing to trade her unfinished diagnosis (vital strike!) art...
 
[X] Plan Double Break

We've finally admitted Gu Xiulan is a genuine friend of ours, Bai has become a good friend after we placed ourselves in immense risk for. The only social fronts we haven't advanced are Han Jian and friends, and Li Suyin. This so called pressing need for a major social spree just isn't there. We've already consolidated a lot of our relations.

The fact is, we're now explicitly Bai Meizhen's weakest link, they're wary of us but that just means they'll be more cautious and clever about attacking us. We need to stop being the weakest link, and power of friendship or no- the quickest most reliable power up we can gun for right now.

Then what was the point of this Thunderdome crap? We already showed dominance to get ourselves a break and an update consisting entirely of training is boring.
 
Plus friendship doesn't work like this

"Oh I fullfiled the minimum amount of time this week with them , that means I can focus on personal stuff/training and ignore them for several weeks "

The whole point of giving social options is so that we as players get to choose between grindING or losing out on that power up to focus on social. Social tends to give better stuff tho in the long run even if it means we somewhat lag behind in the cultivating.

We picked the support character. Not the prisoner with 8 talent but stigma.This means social is important to our character or at least should be.
 
[X] Plan With All the Strength of a Raging Fire

Not much point to a cultivator who doesn't cultivate, we've been slacking off something fierce on pushing through to the next stage for far too long and remaining stagnant will do us no good. Not really liking these leading options, I must admit I find househunting pointless; we're already closer pals to Meizhen from this week, a living space is a living space is a living space. Since it's basically going to be fluff, I'd rather go for the superior options available because gosh darn it I want to see what sort of horrifying concoction Qi can cook up for Guangli or any option that doesn't advance the petting zoo brigade. Or if we are set on talking to Meizhen, it could at least be about something useful like what Huang Da is all about.
 
[X] Plan Housesitting Pretty

I keep forgetting to vote. OTL

Thought, maybe a character record/encyclopedia to keep track of all named characters might be a good idea, in the long run?

@Sirrocco had actually started one, it's back on like page 108 or something with loads of notes on most significant of the characters. I've been slowly updating it to accommodate new info on a notepad doc on my phone, but @yrsillar literally updates faster than I can update it. :V

So there is this one thing that bugs me with Kang Zihao's plan. I mean it is kinda clear what he was going for, wait until Bai Meizhen is injured, have weaker cultivators attack so he could claim to have "rescued" them and use his smack talk to paint himself as the good guy here... but why the heck did he attack Ling Qi after his whole "I am justice" speech? It is kinda like "I am here to protect the weak so I will kill that weakling over there first."
The evil uppity commoner who doesn't know her place, injured and looted her betters, received favoritism and unfair advancements that she doesn't deserve, and is the handmaiden of the snake?

We are very easy to justify in the eyes of the "public" since the public are 99% noble prats

[X] Plan Housesitting Pretty

I get the feeling we'll get some tangible benefits out of choosing the house with Meizhen, not just fluff. And it's not something we can put off a week, since if we're not there, Meizhen will just get the house on her own. I also prefer the Han Jian action over either talking with Gu Xiulan or cultivating argent soul. Argent soul is low on my priority, and I think our social with Xiulan is fine at the moment.
