Most recent relevant ruling I have in the updated QM rulings:

OliWhail said:
Swap the positions but maintain the velocities of your own center of mass and that of the target object. The final positions of either or both objects being swapped will be translated a maximum of 2 (I think, might just be 1) meters to avoid intersecting with other objects or surfaces, moved in the shortest direction available.

Thanks @eaglejarl

@OliWhail: can I get a QM check on TacMov rulings for completeness/correctness before I mark it complete/correct and add it to the wiki?

Now actually writing speeches so we don't get screwed:

Loyalty:

Will of Fire:
You want proof of how committed we are to the Will of Fire? [honorific], the Will of Fire is why we are here, -instead of any village not named Mist (redact section with -- if necessary for OPSEC)-. The Will of Fire as I understand it is understanding that true power comes from having something to protect, that love is the key to peace and prosperity. The Saidaime Hokage (replace with you if we're talking with Hiruzen) demonstrates this philosophy in spades. Our mentor, and soon to be father Jiraiya showed us what the Will of Fire looks like in a person. He forgave us for our mistakes, and rewarded us for our successes. As far as I know, the other villages don't do that. The other villages don't put love first, like Leaf does, and the Will of Fire does. As for whether the Will of Fire works? We made the skywalkers with the intention that a good village would be able to protect their own citizens and those outside it's borders. From the start we knew it was going to be Leaf, because Leaf was the only village that cared. Digest that for a moment. The Will of Fire is responsible for the skywalker.

Civilian Prosperity:

NonLethality :

I'm pretty highly against specific speeches. We probably want to give key points and let Hazou do the actual talking.

I would be more cautious in approaching this kind of question.

We might want to consult with our bloodline teammates about revealing an important clan secret to his new clanhead, noting vaguely and carefully that it might be important, but Hazō doesn't know.

Then we talk to Jiraiya, in private if needed be, about his bloodline secret. If Jiraiya doesn't want to hear a single word about it, then don't press the issue.

It is obvious to anyone with the sharingan that the iron nerve occasionally produces a sharingan. Why are we assuming that no Uchiha has ever fought a Kurosawa and survived?

Is it ludicrous? I mean, frankly, the Nara are a powerful ally to have.

e: Maybe not as politically powerful as the Hyuuga would be, but for our purposes? I mean... if we could arrange for Hazou to get training in probability and statistics...

Kiba said:
If Keiko thinks it's worth joining the Nara clan, then let her join.

I'm on the side of "If you can convince her to marry into your clan, we'll be behind it. If you can't we'll be against it. We're willing to give you the chance to convince her, but we will back her decision."

So guys, I think we should sacrifice EJ's hope for the stars in this next update...

Okay, that's it. You're getting an assassin in this update no matter what you vote for.

(I was actually coming here to say that was happening regardless, but then I saw your post and it gave me a good straight line.)

So, yeah. There will be an assassin coming after Hazō in the next update. (EDIT: Meaning the one I'm writing this weekend.) I hope you roll well.

...an assassin targeting Hazou, or somebody coming to speak to Hazou who finds employment as an assassin?

Ooh, our first (of many) assassins! Joy!

Cariyaga · Apr 7, 2017

... on that note. (doubleposting so it tags him) @Radvic Add to the plan to give kawarimi permissions to select ANBU guards that Jiraiya trusts?

Rihaku · Apr 7, 2017

Aren't there ANBU squads swarming the compound and following Hazou everywhere he goes? Surely the master of assassins would wait for a more opportune moment to strike...

Unless, of course, the assassin is a Watcher.

Ah jeez we're really going to try to make an action plan to deal with MfD!Shikaku in less than two days?

Color me concerned.

Don't worry, currently the only plan being voted for is being maintained by a guy whose explicitly mentioned blowing up the world is his primary desire, and who won't be around to make edits tomorrow when the arguments are being refined.

*squnity eyes*

[Χ] Immediately grab the nearest sharp object and repeatedly stab self in the face while running to grab our explosive and macerator seals (skip this step if we already have them). After procuring them, repeatedly set them off point blank at our face while rushing straight to the Sandaime Hokage screaming "DEATH TO LEAF! FOR THE MIZUKAGE!" At any point if we have spare time and aren't dead yet, intentionally and constantly induce sealing failures.

WHAT NOW @eaglejarl??

Anyone have a plan that kills us faster and/or has higher probability of doing so?

THIS IS NOT A SERIOUS PLAN
