On another note, this probably doesn't matter, but, @PoptartProdigy, would it be possibly to have a Contacting Jaffur action that's conditional upon getting Sensei to teach us Mind Projection and will be used for something else if he doesn't teach us?

Well, even a failed action in that respect won't be wasted given that something will happen in any case, but sure, that's a reasonable plan for Kakara to take.
 
You would have to, considering what our illustrious author said:

(Bolded for emphasis)

So yes, if our grades slip it directly brings attention to things we REALLY don't want attention on. You darn well better have some good excuses!

Again, saying that it's hard to care about school when there's an alien invasion coming next year sounds like a good enough excuse.
We could just say we were using the time to develop our Telepathy, and have Grandma back us up?

You didn't actually tag them. You just copied the links to the posts where they voted.

It's back to how it was looking nearer the start, actually. Weird.
 
We just say "that's when I was slacking off."

Wow... just wow. I don't mean to be insulting, but when a parent asks a kid "what were you wasting time on?" do you really expect them to accept the answer "wasting time"?

Oh wait, you replied again.

We could just say we were using the time to develop our Telepathy, and have Grandma back us up?

The downside to this would be for our parents to expect us to be able to back up this claim. If we're supposedly spending (ignoring the extra one given by multiform) about 3/12ths of our time (or say about 3 months worth of time out of the year) on Telepathy, you better pray that you roll something really amazing on that Learn Telepathy roll. If you flunk out on your Telepathy roll, then you're not only have no excuse for why you "wasted" a quarter of your time, but will also probably cause your parents to scrutinize what you do, to make sure that you (and I'll say it again) aren't trying to do too much too fast. Which again, brings us under more scrutiny and hinders our ability to work on the Conspiracy.

Right, in that case, switching. I'd rather learn Telepathy and examine "Driven" than use two actions on learning Tenshinhan Style, and I don't particularly care about whether we're slacking or not.

I mean, I'd still like to try to contact Jaffur this year (at least if Sensei agrees to teach us), but neither of the winning plans want to do that, and I don't think anyone but me even seems to care about it, so that's kinda irrelevant.

We're a Ki prodigy, and Grandma will be teaching us and backing us up. Unless they're suspicious of Grandma, that's pretty iron-clad. We'll probably succeed, but if we don't - sometimes you just roll bad/get stuck on something, you know?
 
Vote tally:

[X] Plan Andres110
-[X] Slack (1 action): You have better things to do! Slack off on schoolwork to focus on other pursuits. Effect: Possible grade loss. You're smart and this is primary school, you have a decent chance of not dropping a grade.
-[X] Best Fit (1 action): Jaron has been brought into the Misfits, but as reclusive as he is he doesn't seem to know how to make the effort to really push into the group's dynamic. It's up to you and your friends to make him feel welcome, and this is your part in it. Effect: Do your part to make Jaron feel welcome in the group.
-[X]Nosy Little Girl (1 action): You've noticed lately that Maya has been acting...strangely. She's been giving you strange looks, and only recently stopped, starting to act a lot more comfortable around you. Maybe you're being paranoid, but you want to know what's up. Effects: Poke Maya, asking her what's up.

-[X] Command Training (1 action): You will be expected to lead your Clan if war comes. You may as well be good at it. Effect: Learn the art of battlefield command. Gain Leadership skill and set your starting skill level. Your mindset won't impact you as badly here.
-[X] Train With Sensei (1 action): Nothing for it but time. Effect: Grind your talent in Seer abilities. Sensei tells you that this will be gruelingly hard, and take years to master no matter how much of a prodigy you are.

-[X] Socialize! (Fennella)
-[X] Family First (Mato)
-[X] A Scion's Duties III (1 action): You have a comprehensive knowledge of the way Clan Goku functions, a general overview of Clan Vegeta, and are an effective and renowned communicator. It's time to finish your theoretical education by completing your knowledge of Clan Vegeta and expanding your training in how to manipulate and mediate between others. Effect: Learn the art of diplomacy and Clan management at the feet of your father, improving your Communication and Intrigue skills and learning about the practical side of managing hundreds upon thousands of Saiyans who all want a fight.
-[X] Get Organized (1 action): Presently your conspiracy is more like two separate plots running in tandem; you and the Senzus, and then whatever Grandma is doing. You need to get everybody in the same room together so that you all can unify your efforts and share all available information. Effects: Figure out just what Grandma has been up to and what assets she can lend to things. Share information and work out a unified plan of action. As this involves you, Grandma, and the Senzus in the same room at the very least even before including anybody you bring in this year, this is highly treasonous and will involve an event series. The possibility of discovery does exist, although with your current precautions is fairly unlikely.

Deathbybunnies, Bommelom

So if we combine things with deathbybunnies votes, which is wonky because I'm using an old vote counter, the tally stands at Deathbybunnies 11 vs Aranfan 10.


So it's still pretty close.
 
And..kinda curious, but does anyone but me care about trying to contact Jaffur this year? I mean, it'll take him quite a bit of time to learn from Dandelor even when we do contact him, so I don't think we'll be able to free him until two-three years from now unless we contact him this year.
 
Doesn't look like. Sorry.

Although to be honest, I kinda assumed we would try to do it this year automatically if we learned mind projection and integrated him into our circle of friends. Sleep over would be a perfect time.
I agree, contingent that the rest of our conspiracy agrees it'd be a good time/will be ready. EDIT: They may insist on waiting due to the war effort.

Actually, as an aside, why WOULDN'T they by suspicious of Grandma? If I remember correctly, she wasn't at all shy of saying right to your face that she thought you had been engaged in HERESY! so why wouldn't she say the same to your father. And since your father knows you had issues with the Sealing, wouldn't he be a little wary about you spending time with someone who so vehemently opposes it?

Again, this is contingent on doing badly at learning Telepathy, but: you're known as a Ki prodigy. Your Grandmother is apparently pretty good at telepathy. If you fail to learn it after spending so much time with your grandmother, mightn't your father wonder if maybe she's trying to do something else... say sway you to admit that the sealing was wrong? I dunno, maybe I'm just paranoid, but if that's something that I can logically connect together (via what we have observed so far) then it's quite possible your "iron-clad" excuse could end up bringing the whole conspiracy down on our heads... and all with a few bad rolls.
 
Anyone who doesn't want to slack off on schoolwork, possibly ruining both the consipiracy and Kakara's educational prospects for the future (I am being hyperbolic yes), now is the time to vote.

In contrast, if you don't mind letting a primary school grade have a less than 50% chance to slip a little, saving us actions at a time when we want as many as we can get, cleverly covering our tracks in the unlikely event of failure with aid from Grandma, with the absolute intention to raise that grade again in the event it does slip, now is also the time to vote!
NOTE: Adding the Grandma excuse to the plan.

Gah. Are you absolutely sure I can't convince you to change one of the two Tenshinhan Style actions to a Contactin Jaffur action (even if it's just contingent on learning Mind Projection and will be used for Tenshinhan Style otherwise)? Because the way the system works (small but significant actions such as attending the Council costing as many actions/much time as training something the entire year) I don't think we'll be able to contact Jaffur without taking the action.
