Actually real talk why don't we just propose to Minami right now? Seems like a good solution to all the problems being presented to us right now

Oh shit, when did MfD become a Game of Thrones quest? It seems that all of our solutions to our problems were either ultimately solved with marriage or murder:

Chakra monsters ambushing you?
Murder.

Mist missing-nin causing a ruckus in Hidden Swamp?
Murder.

Liberator Village cronies catch you red-handed in their filing cabinets?
Murder.

Get intercepted and captured by Liberator ninja?
Murder.

Need to find a summoning scroll?
Murder ALL the patrols.

Don't want to kill all of the rednecks but you still gotta get access to the reclusive Hill Billies?
Marriage.

Marriage not working out?
Meh. Hey, Kagome, murder the naysayers.

Need to permanently join Hidden Leaf?
Marriage (with a sizable Skywalker dowry).

Nara breathing down your neck trying to figure out how you managed to plan all of this?
Marriage.

Teammates about to kill each other?
Murder?

Oh shit, the murder didn't work. Marriage maybe?

You could make a flowchart out of this.

I'm not sure that she'd be open to proposals of marriage, considering that A) she hardly knows us, B) Hazo is several years younger than her, c) Hazo is thirteen, and D) she thinks we're extraordinarily evil killers.

Well that's easy to fix:

A) "Hey Minami, wait 'til you hear all about our past when I intentionally break OpSec. Here goes..."

B) "Well the Nara are already engaging their heir to Keiko and he's our age. Also, Noburi is used to dangerous engagements (yes, the marriage kind) and you probably aren't a yandere ax murderer so this should be a piece of cake for him."

C) "We live in a medieval-ish society where most of us won't live to see our twenties and our new dad is basically your new dictator. Can't break the law if we make the law. YOLO gurl. ;)"

D) "From my point of view the villages are evil! But that's a terrible argument, so to really convince you I have some lists for you to read..."

MfD: where if we can't murder you, we marry you. If we can't marry you, we try to murder you again. And if we can't do that, things get awkward.

Good times.

Well, would you rather win or die?
 
From the post directly below yours. The irony is incredible.

Yup; I felt like the new posters should get to see a bit of this thread's buried history.

It was one of the first things that went through my mind after seeing all of the suicide votes: Déjà vu.

If you have the time you should peruse those pages and the first discussion we had as a thread about legitimate PC suicide. It's quite interesting in hindsight when we aren't all now in a panic about the then upcoming update.
 
We could give the Noburi the pin to work as a ring for him to propose to Minami

There is nothing to suggest that engagement rings are even a thing in MfD culture.

If we are really serious about engaging Noburi to Minami (and why not, imo), we should see if we can rely on Hazou's knowledge about Leaf culture and customs. We had him read all of those books for a reason and if we can now rely on his passive personal knowledge we should do so whenever possible.

Books are love; books are life.

Rated insightful more for the last comment than anything prior. We need to get a speed-reading technique for Hazou.

e:

...I wonder if it would theoretically be possible to make a technique that requires such little chakra that a civilian could use it.

I would consider voting for []Action Plan: Hazou Kills Himself before I let him live life like that.

Huh, that's interes..

Huh. Yeah, good point.

No, don't.



Nikkuri? Nokkō?
It isn't Nizō but I'll take it!

... Sigh. One of our team is going to end up married to a sink, at this rate.

I vote Pandaa.
 
I haven't seen Avatar, but...
Really? You should. Keiko might actually be a weirdly inverted Mai expy, now that I think about it. And the acting is phenomenal.
Legend of Korra, from what I've seen, is visually pretty but just not up to snuff plotwise. But then again, I've only seen Season 1.
Also on the 'stuff you all should watch' list is Granite Flats, because it's a really clever spy thriller.
Wait, why am I helping?
*tries to think of the appropriate Homestuck reference*
*fails*
Embrace the changes and be consumed. :p

I highly suggest watching the remaining seasons. Each season has its own flavor and from what I've seen many people like the various later seasons more than the first. IMO, the 3rd season is the best, but that's just my personal taste for dark plot lines.

Don't write it off as inferior until you've seen the whole show. You will most likely be pleasantly surprised.
 
Odd question, probably not the time, but I feel like it might be pertinent at some point in the future:

Has anybody ever thought of laminating seals? Does that not work? Does the technology for laminating paper not exist?

I wrote a proposal for covering seals in a thin wax coat. Not sure if I ever posted it.

Waterproof seals are established:

"Sealing tags in waterproof wrapping attached to wooden buoys," he explained as if stating the blindingly obvious. "I wasn't going to leave the perimeter unsecured."​

What, to preserve them? It's a good idea. I would doubt that the tech exists to do real-world lamination, but maybe there's a jutsu or seal that has the same effect, or maybe Hazo can invent one?
