.....This might sound a little crazy, but have you considered reading the update tomorrow?
I understand the individual words, but they don't make any sense in that order.
Does team fighting count if your team is just you using multiform?
Yes. In the long term, we'll be getting Team Fighting up to Exceptional, but we have so many priorities we just can't spare the action. 2 Actions? How many actions does it take us on average to go from Talented to Exceptional in a skill, anyway?
 
Actually, that reminds me. Did convincing the entire Garenhuld population to give us ki in less than a minute do anything to advance our exceptional communication skill?

That seems like it should maybe be the case, but it might just have been rolled into (heh) the Genki Dama roll. Still, I could see it going either way, and the event's not over yet - Communication is going to be very relevant in this next part.

No more than lifting a really big rock once makes you stronger.
Ah, ninja'd. I think it could arguably have been one of those "you did something badass, you unlocked a talent" moments, except it was massively overshadowed by everything else.
 
So, guys, post dragon. Wat do?

Specifically, what, if anything, do we tell the Garenhulders? We can't exactly fully hide this, given the whole SEND ME YOUR KI so I imagine they'll have some questions. Should we start thinking about a statement to make?

Unrelated, do you think Jaffur will have been inspired by the Spirit Bomb/Spirit Saiyan to put his ki into sinc with Jaron's? I imagine that with luck and skill this might lead to recreation the Fusion Dance. Or, if not, a weird shared-ki-based fusion only possible due to them effectively sharing the same space already.

Or maybe it just leads to communication between them being possible during the day, IDK.
I like the 'removing the tangled mess and streamlining the voting' idea.
Because seriously. Ridiculous.
You called?
 
By theway Poptart, in "Seers, sorcery, people and other such occult affairs" it says our paternal grandfather died. You might want to correct that in the reply to the ASK vote a few updates back, in which it says he is alive but separated from Apra.

...unless it was because he faked his death. It was Kakara's narration that said he died but WoG that he lived. Or it could be Kakara was mistaken and her family just doesn't speak about him. I have seen stuff like that happen.

Nah, just need to go back over my notes again.
 
Right, my mistake. It was in one of the tally posts:


Ooh, that's much better! :D

No. of Votes: 5

[X][STUDY] Reveal that you're a Seer and had a vision that informed you how the technique worked(implication being you saw Jaffur invent it). Let it be his choice for whether you tell him, or if you instead keep quiet and see what he can come up with on his own. Even if he's on the wrong track, he might create his own technique, much like Tabe did.

Your winner! Vote closed.

Now...those ASK votes...

Some of these I can answer here and now -- by and large, for the same reason.

A lot of this is stuff that, at some point over the past 879 pages, I've answered at least once. I plan on doing a big expansion of the Lore Screen in the near future to make this information easier to find, but for now:

[X][ASK]Can Seers learn to see magic?

You already know this; yes.

[X][ASK] What happened to our other grandparents?

Nothing happened to them, and Kakara knows where they are. It's just that I already have a lot of characters in this story, and three individuals who don't drive the plot is dead weight I don't need. Apra and her husband are separated, though.

[X][Ask] Have Scions ever married? If so, what were the political implications?

You already know this; they have not. Nobody wants to think about it.

[X][Ask] More broadly, how are cross-clan marriages handled?

You already know this; one person takes the other's House, and, by extension, Clan. Gender-neutral.

[x][ASK] How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

No.

[X][ASK] Can we start the Armageddon Initiative?

Maybe if you're very good and you can get Radvic to build you a nuke.

Going forward, I'll answer the top three (non-frivolous) ASK votes any given voting cycle accrues, breaking ties according entirely to personal whim. Thus, for this upcoming:

[X][ASK] Are there cadet branches of House Goku or do the siblings of the Lords marry into other houses?
[X][ASK] What are the other super saiyans working on to fight the dragon?
[X][ASK] Are saiyans taxed by the clans? How much income does our house get from that?
 
Not a binding vote, folks, but a quick spot check: should I adopt the, "vote for all that apply, and Kakara decides in what order she should act," approach for this one?
Oh please yes.

One person is responsible for 50% of the tally's uncut volume. Jesus Christ.
Yep, sorry about that. I didn't think it would make much difference due to auto tally and spoilers hiding word count (or so I thought).
I figured if there was a late swing vote for something I liked, I wouldn't catch it otherwise.
 
Do you know what I just realized? Back in the prologue, when we first fought Jaffur in the middle of the hall, people could hear our conversation because ki gives them higher senses. Yet in year one, when we trained our tail, it says that not only did we do so on open air in the middle of the hall at night, but that Kakara screamed in agony whenever she trained it and nobody mentioned anything or tried to stop her.

That is slightly depressing considering that she was 8.

Man, that was even after everyone stopped looking down on us for being weak.
