2 school actions.
2-3 actions on friends/family.
2-4 actions reserved for the invasion and prep.
2 actions for Drama club.
1 action for Jaffur.
1 action Dazarel.
1 action for Perfect Multiform.
1 action for Tinkering.
1 free action.
Very basic outline.
My point is, depending on exactly how the vote goes, there is no guarantee that an "interact with Dazarel" plan will win over a "don't interact with Dazarel" plan. Neither head-dragon nor chibi-dragon
FORCES us to interact with Dazarel;* in the former case we can shut down his seal and in the latter case we can simply, y'know, not talk to him.
Since interacting with Dazarel is apt to be time-consuming, is unlikely to redeem him and make him useful with a single year/turn/action, and is unlikely to be a net positive for Kakara's mental health, it's entirely possible, even likely, that on this turn or some future turns, we
won't vote to spend actions interacting with Dazarel.
The question then becomes, what are the consequences of our deciding not to do so?
In the head-dragon case, he certainly can't harm anyone, but he'll be spending the year locked in solitary confinement.
In the chibi-dragon case, he might theoretically do harm despite his lack of power, but he
also won't be spending the year locked in solitary confinement.
______________________________________________
*In fact, the argument advanced by some head-dragon supporters that "this will force us to interact with Dazarel instead of ignoring him" kind of contradicts an important defense of head-dragon that was raised earlier. Namely, the defense "Dazarel can't corrupt or harass us because we can shut him up whenever we like."
We can't protect ourselves from harassment if we don't shut him up, and we can't interact with him if we
do shut him up. All head-Dazarel has to do to subvert any 'free action' options we get for interacting with him is
be a jerk, forcing Kakara to shut him up if she wants to get anything done or have any peace. And frankly... he's already a jerk, so the odds of that happening are not low.
Simon, I want you to look at what you're saying. Even ignoring the fact that this is dragon ball, where having power and not being a planet buster is really rare, you're literally going "if an enemy is capable of completely and utterly defeating us, they'll add this extra step to our forced suicide and/or destruction of the planet"...
I can easily imagine a situation where the threshold of mental influence required to get us to let Dazarel out is lower than the threshold required to compel us to literally self-destruct or stand unresisting while someone else kills us.
Our vulnerability to mind control subversion is
at best constant but
at worst increased if we have a sealed ancient evil inside our mind that we can release by an act of will.
Except they don't need to use Dazarel at all. Your example with our siblings? It's exactly the same situation if Kakara doesn't have Dazarel inside her: destroy the planet or your siblings get it. Because that's literally what their demand is, and isn't affected either way.
If Kakara tried to blow up the planet, Berra or Apra or Yammar would have a realistic chance of stopping her. If Kakara released Dazarel and
Dazarel tried to destroy the planet, not so much.
And your Renegade Saiyan example makes no damn sense, because if they want to destroy the planet, they could do it themselves. Easily!
Simon, please.
The fact that so far no one
has blown up Garenhuld strongly suggests that one saiyan of equal or greater power can generally stop another saiyan from doing so.
Someone who cannot bring about a disaster themselves
due to active opposition might nevertheless try to do so indirectly by releasing a greater threat which cannot be stopped as easily. I mean, that's the entire Babidi story right there, no?
As a counter-argument, however, it takes either repeated usage of a trait to cause it to evolve, and/or for us to push the boundaries and define or redefine it. Your Protector example being a bad one, as we were in a period of self-reflection and discovery as the playerbase had previously violated a second-tier trait with a sub-trait. It's development is therefore both logical and fitting.
Absorbing the dragon for power and knowledge, and/or out of the conviction that no one else can do as much to reform him as we can so we don't even
want others being able to talk to him, would be a pretty significant push of the boundaries of what it means for Kakara to be "ambitious." Or "proud."
Furthermore, we've already spent numerous actions on things aimed at our long-term ambitions. One can reasonably argue that all our stewardship, scion-duty, and even training actions are based around cultivating our personal and political power. If there's a requirement for "must spend actions pursuing the goals indicated by this trait" required for a trait to evolve, I'm pretty sure we've met it for "Ambitious."
The main reason it
wouldn't evolve is because in pivotal moments, we don't tend to choose actions taken "because this makes us stronger" and for few or no other reasons. If that changes, then a major reason for us
not to sprout undesirable subtraits related to pride and ambition goes away.
And something to note? Not once has one of our first-tier traits evolved without us dedicating an action to doing so, despite several of them being used multiple times since we got them. As such, I do not hold that a single usage of Ambitious is liable to cause it to evolve into a new, more unwelcome trait.
Alternate hypotheses to your explanation:
-There may be a dice roll mechanic behind the scenes; luck may be involved.
-There may be some way in which trait evolution is related to how plot-important the actions we take are, and our actions involving Dazarel are
by far the most plot-significant actions we've taken, being as how they directly prevented the destruction of the entire world. The only other thing that was anywhere near as important was the Sealing, and we were popping traits left and right back then (to be fair that was the prologue).
And this I can believe.
Kakara is her own person, and she's being run ragged. She needs time to rest and relax.
A genocidal Smaug in her head wont help with that. Even if she can shut it up, The fact remains that she wont be spending time talking to him if it's time she's not devoting to getting better or making sure she's emotionally stable.
Aye Aye.
Also Sailor [Blank] Maya and, of course, Tuxedo Mask Jaffur!
Clearly Kakara is Sailor Sigma, since we (now?) know that's the name of Garenhuld's moon. Of course, she transforms into a giant gorilla when
exposed to moonlight, which is a bit off, but hey, that's the joke!
Maya is Sailor Garenhuld. I mean, of course she is. Severe mental block about saying what needs to be said,
actually from this planet? She's a natural.
The other Misfit girls can get names for other planets in the system.
