[-] Action Plan: Deescalate, explain, deescalate

Sorry for the double post, but we can't edit in votes, and I won't be awake to post this in the event that someone else posts between my last post and the deadline.
 
[X] Action Plan: Catharsis
[X] Action Plan: Deescalate, explain, deescalate ALTERED
 
If we're worried that Minami is about to attack--and I agree it's possible, though I don't think it's likely--then maybe the first thing we do should be to yell "Weapons Down! No fighting!" Try to get through to her that no, we're not about to attack her.

My plan, Hard Choices, is dead in the water--it hasn't attracted any support. But perhaps this can go into one of the plans that has a chance to win?
 
I'd be delighted. Be sure to provide links. However, be warned that I am both Russian and a professional translator, so I will know if your translation does not do full justice to the glory of Zabuza.
No pressure at all, huh? I'm not a professional translator and I doubt I'll be able to show him in his full glory as much as I'd like to. Still worth trying.

You know... I'm curious. I know that Sealing is not particularly analogous to real world sciences with regard to reproducibility, but is Technique Hacking?
 
We should not say this. Period.

This is essentially saying "we acknowledge that what Kagome did was wrong, and the penalty is honestly death, but we don't want this because he's our friend and we would rather protect our friends over seeking justice". This is the wrong message on all accounts

Failing to acknowledge the elephant in the room does not make it go away.
These are the most likely outcomes of Kagomes actions. Not bringing them up will be conspicuous in its absence.

Noburi currently has something of an adversarial relationship with Minami, Keiko has a style that is likely to rub her the wrong way. Akane might get through to her, true, but currently we have the best impression.
We can build on that.

Does anyone wanna try to convince me to even up the altered and unaltered versions? I'm not 100% on either of them.
 
Voting is over.

Action Plan: Deescalate, explain, deescalate ALTERED is victorious.

The original version is in second place with one less vote, and Catharsis is one vote below that, which may be the closest we've had between plans with high voter numbers.

Edit: No training is taking place this update, unless things go wrong and you suddenly learn a great deal about CQC.

Oh, you're Russian? Fascinating. Do you speak any other languages? (Do you have any favorite stories to recommend?)
I'm passable at Japanese. I know bits and pieces of others, but none well enough to be noteworthy. Are you asking if I can recommend stories in Russian (in which case I'm afraid I can't - I have enough trouble keeping up with the English ones), or in general?

Let's introduce every GM's favorite word...

Metagaming.
Let's introduce every GM's other favourite word... TPK.

You guys do remember what happened last time you made a crucial decision based on metagaming?
 
If she could teleport via prisms she would not be allowed to leave Konoha before she was Jonin-level. Also, her clan would be a lot more respected.
Hard to make jōnin without leaving Leaf, at least unless you're Naruto. (And maybe even then - there's only so far you can stack identical experiences.) The teleportation could also have non-trivial activation conditions (e.g. "anticipate your imminent death at the hands of the forces of evil").
 
Sources/examples, please?
Unfortunately, it didn't make any sense in the context of rational worldbuilding to declare that in fact Mari managed to grab three once-in-several-generations geniuses from the genin that Yagura allowed to be picked for a risky invasion mission, when any sensible leader would have been keeping such a team at home and nurturing them like the future power-balance-shifting badasses they were shaping up to be.
I always imagined this quote to mean "keep them at home until their skills are at Jonin-level, and then ship them out".

Metagaming.

Now, here's the thing. Imagine, if you will, that Minami is ultra powerful and can take out half the team in half a second with her bloodline. Then, using that power, the next update is only "Minami kills you. New Game?"

... Would the QMs do that to us?
For the record:
If there were no possible way to survive I would have killed you last update instead of wasting everyone's time.
