This is really odd.
How the naraka-path did we get a 40 XP discrepency?

Like I said to @Jello_Raptor yesterday, I really have no idea.
10 of it was just awards getting applied multiple times over the course of the last year. I assume the other 30 was due to times that the 'Unspent XP' box didn't get updated after we spent some.

Yes. You can now be sure that it is either a good idea or a bad idea to attempt to romance Ino.I would just like to point out that this post indicates that at least one of our interpretations is correct.

That tells us it's NOT NEUTRAL! We've eliminated one possibility, just one more to go! Keep it up thread!

I don't want to dissect this frog. Watch from the very start for most of the context you need.

I still have no idea why you find this amusing in this context. I understand why is amusing from the perspective of DBZ and DBZ Abridged, but not how it relates to MfD.

The line "Flip that coin. Take that chance" Spoken by Cell, the main antagonist of the current arc from this episode was likely to be his response to what we was replying to. Likely in place of the standard WWRDTTY response from the GMs.

The Tea one, or the Hot Springs one?

Hot Springs.

The Hot Springs Incident involved us picking up an info retrieval mission while in Tea, because we were bored after getting the Pangolin scroll and wanted to start building our contact network / saving the world.
Mr. JohnsonThe shady piece of shitdude who hired us identified a particular high-end inn over in the land of Hot Springs that our target would be passing through with the info, which was believed to be a scroll of some kind. Steal the scroll, bonus for stealing it without detection, bigger bonus for replacing it with a fake that would sow misinformation. A total milkrun.
When we got there we quickly made contact with someone who would be awesome to have in our merchant empire, a brilliant young woman who agreed to help us out in exchange for a contract delivering ice to her establishment.
As the deadline for the job neared and we hadn't been able to locate the scroll among the target's possessions, we started getting desperate. The arrival of an additional operative on the target's side and an additional spy who claimed to be working for our employer put additional pressure on, and we made the utterly moronic decision to sneak into the target's suite that night to grab the scroll.
Come to find out, it's not a scroll. It's a cipher tattooed onto the torso of a civilian teenager, and his (mom? aunt?) who we just knocked out is the only one with the key. Hazou starts to copy the cipher. Also, the sword-wielding jounin who's guarding them heard us and is about to charge through the door and cut us all to pieces. Also also, he's sent for help, since Hot Spring being a DMZ means (wouldn't ya know it) that ninja from all nations are willing to fight if you start shit there. Facing two jounin, we end up squishing one of them along with the civilians and the additional agent, and fleeing into Kagome's well-trapped exit route, which saves our asses.
As @Kiba's failure assessment points out, we had a lot of options. We could have waited for the group to leave the inn, removing their homefield advantage and maybe letting us stage an ambush. We could also have gone in to investigate while the jounin was out in the baths any of the previous days, before the other operative arrived. Even afterwards, it would have been a better option than doing it while they were both present.
Instead, we ended up ruining a promising business relationship (by wrecking the inn and maybe getting the young woman we allied with executed), getting Jiraiya utterly pissed off at us, injuring several team members, driving up team drama due to Inoue almost sacrificing herself prompting Keiko's confession of love and subsequent running away to the Summon Realm (both of which have made Noburi bitter), and with a pack of Hot Springs hunter nin plus maybe Zabuza on our asses, including at least one ninja with a specialized hunter-nin bloodline.

The best part is we actually know (approximately) what happened in the Noodle Incident, and depending on the climate of Noodle potatoes were probably part of it.
Edit: Is Mist the pirate ninja Ireland?

I don't remember that one. Is that the nation we were sent to exterminate but didn't in the prologue? Because I feel like if so, then it's not really our fault.

Noodle was where the invasion force was headed, yeah. But I mean that our defection in itself probably caused a lot of problems. And hidden swamp wasn't really our fault either, but you still have it listed

Note that Team Asuma's assignment runs for a week, with an implied "unless you leave early."
Troublesome.
This is a really good summation, but you forgot to mention the fact that the woman, son, and one of the jounin were all agents of Jiraiya's, which is why he was so pissed. The cipher contained the details on where and when Arikada would be passing by; had you not interfered then Joutarou (the jounin you killed) would have been the one sent after Arikada (the insane biosealmisstress) and therefore you would not be in Leaf and Akane would not be in the hospital suffering from a crisis of confidence and a mostly-missing abdomenal cavity.

On the note of Akane's mostly-missing abdominal cavity, if Nobby is going to work with Kabuto, he can be taught how to take care of Akane and hopefully get her moved to our present house sooner than later. This will allow her to get out of the hospital (we can talk to Kabuto about her personal distaste for hospitals inhibiting her ability to recover), give Kagome an excuse to stay home, give the Leaf an excuse to continue housing us (we're taking care of a Leaf ninja for them, freeing up their own personnel), remove Akane from Kabuto's influence, and at the same time give him the opportunity to indebt us to him socially without having direct authority over our teammate's well-being.
