Oh, you might have misunderstood, I'm excited. I like the journey to come.
Also (given how she wasn't discovered at a port) I think the ship Korra was on, went direct from the South Pole to Republic city.

Ok, let's see here. People want Militia because why again? A core reason as to why they genuinely want it? A reason that being a Police Officer cannot do? Or just journeying around the world. It would be easier convincing them or changing their minds if we knew this.

Ah, I was just following Sereg's vote for this.
@Sereg - make sure to add in the second training option for your plan. Probably physical exercise or bending? Otherwise, the default might just be assumed as doubling up on meditation.

its ok we can just become a cop try it until we get frustrated with the system then journey around the world after that or after harmonic convergance

Not really, we can self-teach airbending and learn all the other sub bending styles elsewhere. We also might be able to learn straight from the original source since we are a bending prodigy.
It does not matter that it is out of date, basic geography wont change because the desert does not expand.
I agree, doing a militia right now is not great. Though it is a long-term ambition so we won't really accomplish it until late game. Meaning we can focus on avatar stuff then return to our people.
- We have an organized group to help out in the Si Wong Desert, not the Earth Kingdom
- We are policing ourselves rather than forming a government. We are not planning conquest, just helping out people
- Not very likely since we are in the middle of the Desert and have no desire to rule. This is apparent since we are just a seven year old kid who wants to help people.
- We become a possible international terrorist./ Why? We are not even talking about being international with our militia. This is just basic fear mongering.
- We possibly spark off a civil war and throw the world out of balance./ We are seven, it is the forth post of the quest, and only the sandbender tribes who survive off of raiding will care, other might even be happy for it.
- we lose the opportunity to get proper training since a militia means we won't have time to seek a proper teacher/ Our Father is a sand bender, to our south is the swamp. For firebending we can always leave to find a teacher than and the same applies to airbending if we don't have the ability to teach ourselves that.
- we probably won't get to stop harmonic convergence which means the world dies/ Will harmonic convergence still happen? Or will it be written off by the QM. We can always travel and still stop it. All while getting in touch with our people and growing more spiritually able.
- Possible consequence of not stopping Amon: We might start WW2 since Amon wants All bending gone not just in republic city/ It is not an international following, we can always just travel their if things go to wrong, and why would it start world war 2? only the Fire nationon military responded in the cartoon so why would t the countries even go to war.
Rokku was able to have a family, settle down, and live a long life before his untimely death. We don't even have to be the leader of the militia forever. We can just use it as a recruitment ground for people to come and spread peace throughout the desert.
This is my opinion and I don't speak for the rest of the voters. We want a militia because it provides protection for sand-benders and the sandbending tribe. It's a good start off point in creating a group of people that actually care about our culture and want to help people in our part of the world. Also it provides a safe place or our actions not to be monitered and regulated by members of the white lotus.Why a police officer wont work? Because lets play this out
Us: Halt in the name of the law!
Sandtibesman 1: What are you doing?
Us: I am giving you a ticket since you were jaywalking
Sandtribsman 1: That makes no sense there are not even roads in the desert
Us: Still, I need to write you a ticket. Sorry for the inconvenience citizen, Republic city thanks you for your work.
The majority of sandbender tribesman have never seen republic city let alone recognize its legal power. I would love to journey around the world if their were an option that provided Xp and Chi points for it I would vote for it. We can always just travel around the world later, establishing a militia does not mean we are tied here forever.
How often is a public avatar allowed to travel again? Korras travels were strictly regulated by the White Lotus. If she had not snuck aboard that ship then amon would have taken Republic city. We would just get slotted into a training and managing role when harmonic convergence happenes if it even does.

Regardless of whatever the winning vote is I'm glad people care to have discussion. It shows that people enjoy this and want it to succeed.

The paranoid mega bitch wont see it that way
Long term ambition means we need long term thinking
Amon was building an air fleet and he would have eventually gone international due to his beleifs to the rest of the world and the firenation millitary got their ass kicked
we are an adult with ambitions and experiences outisde the white lotus'es dumb assery and conservativeness, alsowe might not have to reveal ourselves as the avatar if we make sure only Amon sees and then murder him

Sweet. So cut the learning time listed earlier in half for us with a teacher.
Is Rank 10 THE limit, and allows us to match various historic feats like the creation Omashu? Or could we keep raising past 10, just 10 is the accepted "Master" level?
So we can only do Physical Training 4 times a year, but each time grants 1 stat up randomly, regardless of how high our stats already are? That's good.
There is still the question about the Stat Ups from Bending. Do we get +5 every time it lists a +5, or is that just repeating itself and our max bonus is that +5?

Not really. Aang was a bending prodigy. Korra was a bending prodigy. They still needed teachers. And like hell we are going to find fucking dragons or air bisons and reminder that the MOON is the original bender of water.
Deserts don't, kingdoms do.
How adorable! You think as the AVATAR we will just use our group in one location.
1: Just because some may be thankful about it, others may think they can do better or won't like how we handle things. That will cause many a conflict at best.
2: Don't just assume we can self teach ourselves everything. And onto the fact you seem to be under the painful assumption of us finding any other the other sentient original benders in the desert is kind of laughable. Also, a militia needs constant overlooking and management. We can't just up and leave them for who knows how long!
3: See end of point 2. Also, how will we know of it if we're busy fucking around in the middle of the desert?
4:
That, and the fact that I'm not quite fond of our chances against the entire Equalist army.
Why can't we? We've been straight up told what the difficulties for learning the ranks are, and that is learning the ranks WITHOUT a Teacher. We learn twice as fast again with one. There has been no indication we can't learn everything ourselves, heck, the various sub-disciplines automatically unlock as we get high enough so we don't even really need a teacher for the advanced stuff.

in the one ring and similar quests any ranks past a certain point require a teacher to get past a cettain rank and there are like 8 plus ranks in each not counting sub types so a teacher is still a good idea none the less

And there's nothing saying we can either. I'm just taking things from canon. Every Avatar needed a teacher. So I'm just following the clear pattern.

That is a valid point if she ever bothers to care. I am not talking of an army of people I am thinking 40 people at most.
That they do, but long-term thinking does not necessarily dictate the worst case scenario.
Ok, Amon was building a fleet of airships. I can concede that point.
That's fine, I agree that we don't need to reveal ourselves as the Avatar. We don't need to be a cop in republic city if we have a problem with Amon.
Why not? We can spend Chi Points if we want to get the opportunity to learn from the original sources.
What kingdoms besides earth boarder the Si Wong desert?
Don't patronize me, I just happen to think that we will use the Si Wong desert as a starting point for our militia before we go off on our own and do our avatar duties.
1: Conflict is necessary to growth, if people have a problem with our leadership then they can discuss it with us and we can resolve the issue peacefully.
2: We have the ability to use something called Chi Points to make choices that can influence the world. Finding the original bendings is not so out their since we can alter the world and visit he spirit world for teachers. Remember the first avatar did this exact same thing when spirits and people lived together.

...do...do you really think people work like that? This is a LIFE LONG ambition as far as we are concerned. We will be spending the majority of our life up until it is fully established working towards this. And you think we'll just drop it right once it is established?
Yes. The mass of people known as raiders and bandits in a survival of the fittest area will talk things out peacefully. That's what they'll do. Sure. Forgive me for my complete and utter disbelief of that.

That are the mechanics speaking, from a narrative point of view learning everything ourselve is straight up unrealistic, when not even Aang could do it
Given however that you are not really wrong, it is a clear indication that the mechanics probably need some kind of hard limit that forces the players to seek out a teacher

Does the same not apply to becoming a republic city police officer? This ambition is something that will be completed by the time we are in our twenties not in our old age. This is what the QM said.
Bandits, scavengers and nomads. Yes they will talk it out peacefully because we are the avatar and resources and no manpower can be wasted for war in the desert.

Aang wasnt a prodigy for one. Another important point, they didn't have TIME to learn on his own. It'll take a few years to teach ourselves, years that Aang did not have.

we havent even told our family and have avery long term idea of keeping that card CLOSE as in not using it publicly, which is what most of this plan seems to rely on when issues like why theyd listen come up

Oh my freaKING-no. Calm. Calm.
Ok, I am still convinced that on technicality the desert is still Earth Kingdom Territory. So two problems here.
1. Earth Queen will actively try to get us under her command once she hears the Avatar has appeared in the desert.
2. Aren't we trying to keep this fact a secret? Not something we can just flaunt around if that's the plan.
